Toronto, ON M5T 2X4
(416) 979-6763

Category: Japanese

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

4.0 star rating
  10/17/2011

Although for me, sushi and sashimi reign supreme when it comes to Japanese food, I wouldn't mind opting for a hot bowl of u-don or rice on a cool autumn day. What I like about Manpuku is that they offer humongous portions at affordable prices without…More »

Toronto, ON M5M 1S7
(647) 348-3369

Categories: Japanese, Sushi Bars

4.0 star rating
  12/21/2011

The Sushi Bar, such a simple and straightforward restaurant name that may mislead one to think that they're just another sushi restaurant on Yonge. I say don't be fooled because they're anything but mediocre; definitely not one of those Japanese…More »

Zen is actually located in Scarborough, by Eglinton East and Danforth Road. The interior is similar to other Japanese restaurants, although much smaller than I imagined. My friend and I took advantage of their delicious and affordable lunch specials.…More »

It's near impossible to not spot a Japanese restaurant as they are everywhere. Torontonians are now more appreciative of not only the aesthetic and flavour aspects of Japanese cuisine, but also the ambiance of the more traditional establishments. Due…More »

Yuzu is at a whole different level when it comes to sushi, and that's the main reason why I absolutely adore them - making them my favourite sushi restaurant in Toronto. I'm sorry Nami, you're amazing but I discovered something better along the way…More »

Category: Japanese

3.0 star rating
  9/28/2011

3.5 stars*

When it comes to Cafe Green Tea, think western-style Japanese home cooking. Their menu consists of simple, homey, and comforting dishes such as omelette rice, deep-fried pork cutlet, soba, and u-don; definitely heart-warming and nostalgic…More »

Dozo Sushi & Sake Bar can be found in the plaza by Highway 7 & Commerce Valley in Richmond Hill. I've walked passed this restaurant numerous times before since it's located by Go 4 Tea. From the outside it looks really dark due to their tinted…More »

When Japan meets Italy - Shiso Tree is a Japanese-inspired pasta restaurant that transforms the classic Italian dish into creations that resemble the flavours that Japanese cuisine admirers are familiar with. Although I wouldn't consider the majority…More »

Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core

5.0 star rating
  8/19/2011

I shall start off by saying that this post is actually four months overdue :P Don't get me wrong, everyone enjoyed the food at Kaiseki-Sakura but their omakase was fairly complex and I didn't quite get all of the ingredients. Their omakase menu also…More »

Toronto, ON M5R

Categories: Sushi Bars, Japanese

Neighbourhood: The Annex

3.0 star rating
  5/2/2011

Sushi Couture is a relatively new Japanese restaurant on the Bloor strip of countless other Sushi places in The Annex. I'm usually really reluctant to have Japanese food on Bloor since they're all very mediocre in quality. I heard many positive…More »

Category: Japanese

3.0 star rating
  4/13/2011

The Markham and Richmond Hill area is saturated with mediocre AYCE (all-you-can-eat) Japanese restaurants. The majority of people's mindset is that if they can pay $20-23 for as much food as they can stuff themselves with, then what's the rationale…More »

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

5.0 star rating
  4/12/2011

I shall start off by saying that I love, and I DO mean love, Nami. They're right at the very top of my list for sushi restaurants. I'm not talking about teppanyaki, omakase, or izakaya here, but the simple yet elegant, sushi. Okay, so why am I all…More »

I went for a light dinner with Jo at Sushi Tei, which replaced The Chef; a restaurant that used to serve Chinese Fusion cuisine. The place was really beautiful with Japanese-inspired decor. I ordered Toro sashimi ($5.95/3pieces) to begin with. Toro…More »

  3/24/2011

For dinner I went to Solo Sushi Bekkan with my friend. It's a very small and cozy restaurant that only seats about 20 customers or so. When you're inside enjoying their authentic Japanese food, you feel like you're dining in someone's home! I spoiled…More »

My foodie friend, Alfonso, recommended Rikishi to me as a great place to have Japanese food. I read in one of the Yelp reviews that even though Rikishi is one of the best Japanese restaurants out there, it's extremely underrated and not too many…More »
