Best waitress.
She was very cool and friendly.
It was a pleasure being in Toronto on business and the atmosphere is awesome.
Seemed like a lot of locals showed up and were dropping shots with the chef(s).
I saw some people pick up to go.
We were only in town for a few days but we ate here 2 of the 3 nights.
It did not disappoint. -

Me and my husband tried the sushi last year because we had to eat before we go to Pearson Airport.
And I don't usually eat sushi at any restaurant because I am Japanese and I make sushi at home when I needed.
Let me just say....we felt sick after we had a sushi boat in this place.
Service: Not bad but we waited more than 20mins.
Atmosphere: Great. (I liked the Decor.)
Food: Appetizer was good but sushi boat.....white fish was so....fishy.
All the sashimi didn't cook properly to me. We didn't like it at all.
If I need to eat sushi at Etobicoke then I would choose Spoon and Fork.
Sorry... -

Best Sushi I have ever had. The service is amazing, the food is incredible, and the experience is something else. Sit at the bar for a really good time.

By far the best sushi place in Etobicoke, and among the best in Toronto. You can tell they put some real effort and TLC into their food - they're on POINT in terms of presentation and wrapping of the rolls. Their black dragon and kamikaze rolls are the best I've ever had (cue Drake).
Only criticism is that one of the waitresses was pretty overbearing - she rushed us through our order and came up to us a bit too often during the meal, prompting us to order more. Whatevs though, the other waitresses were very warm and friendly - doesn't warrant taking a star off.
Fun fact: The sushi chef yells "EAAAAAH GOODBYE" every time someone leaves. -

Great Sushi place, has a genuine feel to it. Best thing around the Radisson near the Toronto Airport, otherwise you have bland franchise restaurants.. yuck!

Very friendly sushi chefs and staff, almost homey. Granted, the prices are quite a bit higher than I would expect of a place of this caliber. I left a bit hungry after spending about $40 in food, including one beer. Hrm.

I am not a sushi expert so I can't comment whether this is the "best" sushi in Toronto (which must be quite an honour), but I can say that this little restaurant tucked almost across the street from a Park n Fly, is a welcome port in any storm, especially when coming off a long flight and landing at the labrynth they call Pearson.
I had a choice of two sushi places that night - this little place or a box-store sushi place close by.
Glad I chose Sushi-Ya. Intimate, warm, friendly, and good sushi. I only did take out, but even that was a pleasant waiting experience as I enjoyed a lime flavoured glass of water and a delicious sample of spicy noodle soup. -

I visited here with my wife for lunch. We both love how nice it was inside. Very clean and freindly service. I thought the food was wonderful and It brought back memories for me of okinawa japan. The bento lunch was decently priced and very good.
Its a great place to try if you have time to sit down and relax to some authentic japanese food. -

This is my favorite new lil sushi spot! The fish is incredibly fresh and melts in your mouth. I highly suggest the volcano roll. Even the cooked appetizers such as the teriyaki chicken are very nicely prepared. The service is always great, hot towels and all.
Its a small place but its immaculately clean and cozy. Don't be fooled by the outside it's very nice. Prices are average for Toronto, its not a steal but worth it. It's located near the airport so its a bit from downtown but if you are out that way you should definitely make a stop. -

Stayed near Toronto airport and picked this restaurant based on other Yelpers' reviews. I work for a Japanese company, so I like to take to opportunity to get good Japanese food in the US and Canada and Sushi-Ya did the job.
The meal was very good. Large pieces of flavorful sushi. Also enjoyed a wide variety of Japanese dishes including gyoza, soba and miso in addition to the sushi.
It is a great little spot to visit if you are staying near the airport and want to get out for a meal. Good service, good atmosphere and an overall good choice. -

I went here on a recommendation by my hotel concierge during a business trip to Toronto. As for location, it was great considering I was staying near the airport. I also liked that they have a free small parking lot for the restaurant. The sushi was mediocre, however.
The sushi tasted not bad, but not great, either. The spicy tuna was not spicy at all. In fact, it was actually kind of sweet. It's not what one would expect when ordering SPICY tuna. I like to order spicy tuna when judging a sushi joint because it's such a staple - and then I figure if they can't do that right, don't bother with the rest. (Kinda like ordering pad thai at Thai restaurants). But I had ordered spicy tuna and eel rolls together for my dinner. Unfortunately, the eel wasn't so great either. Eel *is* typically sweet because of the sauce, so that wasn't so weird, but it was cold. I'm used to eating eel warm.
Luckily, I had also ordered noodles as an appetizer with my sushi.
The chop chae noodles are some of the best I've had - I love that Sushi-Ya's wasn't too greasy, and it was extremely flavorful. Before Sushi-Ya, my favorite place for Chop Chae was a Korean BBQ joint in Los Angeles called HK barbecue in Little Tokyo. I have to say, Sushi-Ya's was better. I was also served a tasting of some soba noodles with fish broth - both the noodles and the broth were very tasty and not too heavy.
Overall, the noodles here are great, but the sushi is just okay. -

I really like this place. A little expensive but worth it. Lunch is the best option here.

I think the food at this restaurant is an ok. For a restaurant serving that price, it's either the portions are good or the quality of the fish is amazing, however, both doesn't applies. A little bit disappointing...

I went here with my mom and ordered drangon roll for me and chicken teri for my mom. Their food is good. Very clean place. It was hard to get attention from waitress since the hall was very long and dark but overall it was good.

Whoa whoa whoa - I am a bit confused as to all the positive reviews of this place? It is good, but not great. I would say it is slightly better than some of the sushi you can get in the Annex. I only say that because the sushi is the right "bite" size in terms of the rice, but not the fish (which sort of trails off the entire kaboodle). The hot dishes are not bad, but again nothing that screams "amazing!". The udon I ordered once was bland and the noodles were stuck together. Beyond that, this is the type of place where you go if you're craving sushi, and it's close by.

Sushi-Ya is a throughly A-OK Sushi place. (If it's your favourite sushi place in Toronto, you really need to get out more.) The food is reasonably good, but when your competition is giant American chain restaurants near the airport that really isn't saying much. The wait-staff is sometimes friendly, sometimes not. The service is sometimes good, sometimes not. I guess it depends on who you end up getting. They sometimes have a tough time dealing with a busy lunch seating, so it's not the best place to go if you are tight for time on your lunch break. The food is pretty good. They have your typical selection of crazy sushi rolls, and then a mix of Japanese and Korean food. I don't think the prices are unreasonable. So yeah, Sushi-Ya is a thoroughly OK restaurant.

This is one of the best sushi restaurants I have been to in Toronto! The location is out near the airport so it's a bit out of the way, and from the outside it seems like this seedy little joint, but once you step through the door you're blown away!
It has a pretty little fountain and rock walls, nice tile floors and japanese artwork. There were booths there as well, which can be nice. I would guesstimate that it could really only sit about 25 or 30 people.
When you first walk in you are greeted by the super adorable azn ladies! The first time I went, we were only there for pick up. They sat us down and gave us teas, that was so sweet of them! They make you feel so welcome.
The sushi was amazing! We ordered a variety of spicy things, and my delicious tobiko with quail egg. We had the volcano roll, caterpillar roll.. and several others. I have to say, they make THE best spicy mayo that I've had. It's actually very spicy. I'm also a fan of tobiko, and most of the items had it on.
The presentation, even for take out, was beautiful!
I recommend this restaurant to anyone and their dogs, because the people are so friendly I bet they would let them sit in with you and even offer your dog the leftovers from the back!
