I think I'm turning Japanese

A collection of Japanese restaurants in Toronto. I really think so.

1. Takumi Sushi Restaurant

484 Yonge St
Toronto, ON M4Y 1X5
Canada
(416) 966-0988

Categories: Japanese, Sushi Bars

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

7/13/2009 First to Review

With so many great sushi options in Toronto it's hard to name a standout, but Takumi is rock solid. Came here with friends after work on a Friday afternoon. The decor is elegant with the chef's station near the front, and spacious seating in the…More »

Awesome Japanese restaurant tucked into the Village by the Grange food court. Their thoroughly modern decor will make you forget where you are. They have rock solid noodles and fair prices. Order the Takosen (Takoyaki served on a Senbei cracker).…More »

Categories: Japanese, Korean

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

I'll admit it, I was a little bit nervous when I was greeted by a Brobdingnagian yet gently rotating fish acting as an inflatable glowing concierge to this Baldwin Street Japanese joint. But one step inside and my doubts were allayed. Etsu is one of…More »

Despite the name, you won't find Chairman Kaga waxing glorious fables about foodstuffs here. You will however see talented chefs spin knives, flip vegetables, and grill your dinner with flair (and flames!) right before your eyes. The Teppanyaki table…More »

All thou can eat sushi in the base of the Scotia Plaza. Usually when you tell someone that a restaurant is in the PATH, they are usually dissuaded by the fear of getting forever lost in its subterranean retail labyrinths, doomed to spend an eternity…More »

I wasn't blown away by Sakura -- a Japanese spot in the Village by the Grange foodcourt. Tried this place for lunch a few times, but my experience has always been the same. 1) place order with unsmiling girl, 2) wait way too long for said order, 3)…More »

Neighbourhood: Riverdale

Me and a sizeable group of yelpers descended upon this Riverdale sushi spot on a Sunday afternoon. It's a long space with heaps of seating and cute Japanese screens dividing booths. It's clean and very sleek.

The menu is a bit hard to understand.…More »

We slipped into Yuzu Sushi on a dark and rainy Sunday night. It's a attractive loft space in the Entertainment District with exposed brick, lots of wood, and elegant flourishes in their decor. Definitely a great spot for a date.

Service as…More »

If you're ever feeling down, just walk into your closest Guu. The warm reception that greets you as you enter is worth it even if you never get a chance to sample their culinary offerings. But try the food and you'll be doing even better.

I've come here many times and all I remember is that their menu is in comic sans. Also, they have these weird bobbing head toys near the entrance. Also, also, their washrooms are subpar. Also, also, also: they have these cozy booths with tall backs…More »

Miyaki is tucked into the base of an apartment building on the Esplanade. It's a pretty small space, pleasantly decorated with the expected sushi bar acoutrements. I arrived at noon, and within an hour it was bustling with people.

The big draw has to…More »

Here's the problem with Sushi Queen Izakaya. Their menu is a disaster. With so many poorly categorized options, you have no idea what to order. The menu doesn't guide you at all. When you sit down you are given a menu that resembles any other…More »

Being hungry in Regent Park isn't ideal. There are plenty of quick and cheap options, but selections for the choosy are far and few between. After a disappointing hour being ignored at Sukho Thai, we whipped out the Yelp app in search of a better…More »
