1. Sushi Ota
Wow. Still the best. One of the few destination restaurants here in San Diego.
The freshest fish in North America perhaps. Top notch quality.
Highlights:
Uni - Sea Urchin
Hotate - Scallop
Hamachi - Yellowtail belly
Stay with the sushi and sashimi. You'll…More »

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
They've done it. They got me hooked up and I'm putting up the last star. You really have to consider so many factors when evaluating sushi joints, in my mind they go 1) quality of fish 2) quality of other menu items 3) price 4) atmosphere
You can go…More »

Went here a couple years back...I remember the food being very tasty and the omakase was well balanced. The dishes were stronger than the sushi. The atmosphere was really cool. Going to try his Philly version in a couple weeks....we'll see.

Food quality is top notch. An unassuming setting with a very traditional approach. Nothing fancy about the scene except the exceptional fish.
Highlights - included the uni, amaebi and hamachi.
Most everyone goes with the omakase. Good TIP - they come…More »

This is one of the most expensive and consistently top-ranked sushi experiences in the GTA. I must admit that the food is just splendid. You have a choice of three menus with a different price level for each. These are inventive, creative and flow…More »
6. Harney Sushi
Pretty random joint in the middle of old town. Club-like atmosphere with a solid roster of unique specialty rolls.
I'm very impressed. The only place pumping beats with a DJ and some waitresses dressed in tight clothing and the food lives up to all…More »

Thanks to Joe and Daniel-San, i've had a couple crazy nights at Bluefin. Who can beat quality rolls, and 2 for1 sake and beers. Sit at the bar and you won't leave without making a few friends. Service is very accommodating and this is the best venue…More »

Very comfy, dim lighting makes for an urban lounge feel.
This is the extensive of Japango but it doesn't quite match up and the prices are steep. The sushi/sashimi is fresh and delicious with great presentation. The oyster shooter was so-so. I did…More »
9. Sushi On Bloor
Okay...overdue to update given the health scare (google it and you'll know)...but I'm not ready to write this place off.
They've renovated the inside, put up new paint, lighting and bank seating. Cosmetic yes but still refreshing.
The food is still…More »

People rave about this place, it is a bit out of the way. Is the food better than Ota? the answer is no. Is the experience with Chef Kazu better than Ota? the answer is yes.
This is a bit of a hole in the wall and the one sushi counter with one…More »

Great location next to Hyatt, tough competition next to Trulucks and Flemings.
The newest update to the menu certainly is an upgrade. Still quite expensive and there are better options than the sushi but a few things are bad.
As far as the local area…More »

12. Izumo Sushi
Yup....still the best sushi in Kingston
Came back again because I was so impressed and they didn't falter at all. Just top notch freshness and construction. The special Izumo, 30 pcs of quality sushi, cali roll and dynamite roll. Just perfect. It…More »

13. Sushi Ya!
Okay....keep in mind it is Kingston and sushi around these parts is never spectacular. But Sushi Ya is a surprisingly good "roll expert" as advertised.
The red dragon roll, rainbow roll and princess roll (served a fire lit plate) are solid, with…More »
14. Sima Sushi
A new sushi joint in downtown Kingston which is a decent addition to the scene.
A small place well located downtown. The chirashi is solid with quality fresh fish. Small, manageable cuts. A slightly strange seasoned squid and rice but overall as good…More »
15. Discover Japan
My choice for sushi in Kingston because the fish is fresh and is a great value. Discovered it from friend. It is a take-out place with only a couple tables to sit. Run only by a nice couple, if you have a large order or a big group, you MUST call…More »
16. Ta Ke Sushi
Lots of people see this as the best sushi in Kingston. Having eaten sushi in Vancouver, Toronto, New York and LA...it is good if you need a sushi fix but your options are limited. An extensive menu with good selection and friendly staff. Some of the…More »
17. New Generation Sushi
This place is still as popular as ever. People love the value sushi on bloor and for my money, it's a dog fight between here and Sushi on bloor. Both places have quick service, fast turn-over and complimentary fixins (miso soup, salad and red bean or…More »

18. Sushi Marche
This is a solid as take-out sushi gets. Can be a long wait and is worth it. Not inexpensive but if you have a craving for quality fish...
19. Blowfish Restaurant & Sake Bar
This place is so bipolar. It is a sushi restaurant wanting desperately to be a trendy lounge. The people watching is very entertaining. Women who were past their due date but proudly display the silicone and gingerly step in 6 inch heels supported by…More »

I can't believe I've never gotten around to reviewing sushi inn. This was my regular spot for years and then it started to slide a bit.
The speed of service and location are pretty sweet but overall the food is just mediocre. The fish can be spotty on…More »
21. Yosaku Japanese Restaurant
Solid sushi fix if you're around Portland, Maine. The fish was fresh and the rolls were well constructed. Nothing spectacular and the salmon roe seemed a bit old. Not many options for sushi in this area.
22. Wasabi Japanese Restaurant and Sushi Bar
Sushi in the market is really a bust.
This place has been around for a long time and because of its location, it really draws in the tourists but then reality sets in.
Just poor quality food, ingredients. Portions are large but you really don't want…More »

Yeah yeah, it's pretty inside and they have all these funky rolls but the fish is just not quality and the price is crazy. If you want good sushi, forget it. If you want a cool place to hang and try some "interesting" fusion rolls. Okay.
24. Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar
I almost wanted to give this place a two-star because it is sooo overrated. It is discounted 50% after 10PM on Thurs-Sat. This is probably the only time worth going. I may be distorted because I really do enjoy sushi and have eaten in many spots in…More »
25. Wasabi Japanese Buffet
I occasionally partake in the gluttony of buffets...especially one that involves sushi and chinese food. So I can't say this place has any service. It is a great combination of sushi and Chinese buffet but a bit pricey at 24.99/person.
But what better…More »

Its okay...small place with a decent lineup of foods. The quality of the fish is a bit hit or miss but they can do the basics well enough.
Better for happy hour when the prices might this place a deal. But overall, I'd prefer to go to Bluefin for a…More »

Drawn here by the raves about the rolls and the iphone commercial fame. It is a small space but done with a modern lounge feel.
I'm a bit experienced as a sushi eater so I have appreciation of both quality fish and innovative sushi roll creations.…More »

Disappointing to say the least. We chose the $80 Omakase menu. None of the dishes were presented all the well. Almost too much soy in the first three courses. The only dish that was memorable was a miso-infused black cod. The sushi sampler was…More »
