Review from Corina S.

I recently started working in the area and since it was gorgeous out yesterday (and pay day!) I decided I'd treat myself for lunch. A coworker recommended Tonari so I decided to check it out. I was seated immediately and brought a steaming cup of tea. I decided on the lunch maki bento box for $10.95 and chose avocado maki and spicy salmon maki (there are a few you can choose from). I also asked for a glass of water and was pleasantly surprised when it arrived with a slice of fresh lemon (not a dried out wedge of bar lemon like some places).
After ordering I was brought a small bowl of miso soup which was piping hot and delicious. 10-15 minutes later I was brought out a HUGE bento box containing 12 maki rolls, a green salad with the typical miso dressing, a cold, glass noodle salad with seaweed shreds and sesame seeds, and some tempura vegetables and shrimp.
The maki was freshly made and delicious, the spicy salmon was fiery and fresh. The miso dressing also had a tiny kick of spice to it which made it a little different - it was great! The tempura was hot and crisp and not soggy at all, and the cold noodle salad flavourful. I couldn't finish everything but i certainly tried! Afterwards I was offered dessert (I believe he said it was a type of rice pudding) but I was too full to even contemplate it - next time for sure!
The service was friendly and efficient, particularly when one is on a lunch break from work. I even had time to go for a little walk outside when I was finished. I gave a 20% tip on my meal and I believe my total including taxes and tip was around $14. Very reasonable for the amount of food and the quality of the food that came out.
In conclusion, Tonari sushi is a solid sushi restaurant in the Yonge and Summerhill/St.Clair area. I haven't had a chance to try too many other places nearby yet but I will definitely return to Tonari. Good food for a reasonable price. Thanks Tonari! -

A Little Jewel at Yonge and St. Clair. I've been here twice for lunch since they opened, and they have the most beautiful bento boxes in the city. I was expecting a typical Teriyaki Beef Bento (you know, the shredded beef with been spouts), but what came was a full grilled Striploin steak! It was so good. Lemon Chicken Bento was yummy - as it was a breaded cutlet (Kastu) covered in a lemon sauce and apples.
Planning on going for dinner next visit for full-on sushi experience. From what I saw others having, it looked amazing.
There are quite a few Japanese Restaurants in the Yonge and St.Clair area - forget the rest and go here. Better Food, Better Service and Better Hours.
About 30 seats. 3 tables for 2, 4 tables for 4 and one large table for 6-8.
Hours:
M-Th: 11:30am-10:00pm
Friday: 11:30am-10:30pm
Saturday: Noon-10:30pm
Sunday: Closed
