1. Rikishi Japanese Restaurant
Please eat here so that it doesn't go out of business!! I can't understand how this gem of a Japanese restaurant has gone so long without proper recognition. Last time I went on a Saturday night, there was only one other table. This makes me sad.
I…More »
2. Tokyo Kitchen
Toronto, ON M4Y 1T1
(416) 515-0387
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Tried this restaurant that I had never heard of based on the positive reviews here, and was not disappointed!
Having traveled to Japan twice (and going for a 3rd time in a month!), I'm always looking for authentic Japanese restaurants that go beyond…More »
3. Manpuku Japanese Eatery
When I get nostalgic about my travels to Japan, I like to come to this small, casual, and very authentic spot. From the cute logo (a daruma doll -- you are supposed to colour in one eye and make a wish, and colour in the other eye when it comes true)…More »
4. DonDon Izakaya
Toronto, ON M5G 1C3
(416) 492-5292
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Downtown Core
Solid, authentic izakaya! This place just opened 3 weeks ago, but the server informed me that they are waiting a couple more weeks before their *grand* opening. Stay tuned!
Tried this place out with a group of friends tonight and had a great time.…More »
5. Solo Sushi Bekkan
While Guu gets all the attention, I'm starting to realize there are so many great, casual little Japanese eateries in the downtown core... Authentic, Japanese-run places serving sushi but also tasty small dishes typical of izakayas in Japan. Solo…More »
6. Okonomi House Restaurant
Toronto, ON M4Y 2R4
(416) 925-6176
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Mmm... yummy okonomiyaki just like in Osaka! (different from the Hiroshima-style that has noodles at the bottom). It's hard to find Kansai cuisine in Toronto, so this restaurant is pretty unique.
This is probably the most satisfying and cheapest meal…More »
7. Koyoi Restaurant & Bar
(3.5 stars)
Koyoi is a great little spot if you want a real izakaya experience (and without the lineups of Guu!). From the J-pop on the stereo to the cute drawings of animals on the menu posted on the wall, I totally felt like I was in Japan. Hearing…More »
8. ND Sushi & Grill
3.5 stars
This place doesn't look like much from the outside and I never thought to come here, with so many other great options on Baldwin. But when I came to Baldwin with a hankerin' for sushi and Etsu was closed, I decided to try this place out…More »
9. Ajisen Ramen
Toronto, ON M5T 2G2
(416) 977-8080
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
Fast, cheap, reliable. Ajisen Ramen is just what you expect to find in Chinatown -- no-fuss noodles and efficient service. The place is cute. The winking girl holding a big bowl on Spadina is hard to miss, and the interior is adorned with colourful…More »
10. Take Sushi
Solid Japanese restaurant -- consistent quality, excellent service, nice, quiet ambiance. They have been in business for over 20 years, which says something. This place isn't trendy like Guu or flashy like Ki, but they do Japanese food right.

11. Guu Izakaya
Toronto, ON M5B
(416) 977-0999
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
After trying to go here twice and being put-off by the long lines, I finally ate at Guu. My friend and I just happened to be walking past the restaurant at 4:30pm and noticed that a line was already forming outside the door. They open at 5. So this…More »
12. Ho Su Bistro
Toronto, ON M5V 1Z8
(416) 848-9456
Used to come here fairly often because of it's convenient location but was never that impressed with the sushi or other Japanese dishes. Really, the only selling point was the prices (big meal for under $10). I found the tempura to be heavy and…More »
13. Simon Sushi
Toronto, ON M5T 2G6
(416) 977-2828
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Downtown Core
UPDATE: The lunch specials have increased by a whole $0.50 ($6.49) and they have shiny, new menus (instead of those laminated pieces of paper). Otherwise, nothing has changed.

Good lunch spot if you work in the area and need something that is reliably fast. They are… Read more »
14. Ichiban Fish House
North York, ON M2N 3G1
(416) 512-9014
Came here for dinner with my Dad. Decent Japanese and comparable to most cheap sushi restaurants like the ones you'd find in the Annex or Queen St. Nothing really stands out, in a good or bad way.
Service was swift. Our server brought green tea…More »
15. Yang's Sushi Bar
I came here for dinner on a holiday. $23.99 for AYCE (there is a discount if you pay in cash). It's good value if you eat a lot!
The space is really big and very accommodating for large groups. Decor is fancier than your average sushi restaurant and…More »
