When I'm feeling up for some fancier sushi at a great price, I can easily count on Kadoya for consistently good good. It's apparently so good that my friend from the t-dot, who's only been here a week, has eaten at this establishment three times…More »

I picked up some take out from here tonight since I've passed by it so many times. The place has a really great atmosphere inside, despite the fact that it's in a part of downtown that might not get as much foot traffic. The waitress was extremely…More »

Stopped by here tonight since I was craving sushi. The place is small, diner-styles, but the menu is pretty straightforward since all it is is pictures on the wall with prices. Was really impressed with the value of meals here, a bento box for under…More »
I've gotten take out from here quite a few times now, and the fish is always fresh. A lot of their smaller rolls are very reasonably priced (alaska roll or tuna & avocado roll for $2.95). I love their sakura blossom roll (fresh crab meat, wild…More »
For izakaya that won't break the bank, Ebisu is a decent choice in a pinch. I like that it's right on Robson for that extra variety, and I like that it's got a lot more room than your nearby Guu restaurants, but this place is crazy noisy and dark,…More »
it would've been a two star had the Oishii roll not used actual crab meat. but they did, and it was delicious. their specialty rolls are smaller than at many other places (in fact, all portions are smaller, my wakame salad was pretty tiny for 3.50),…More »

I came here after passing by it a few times on Granville street, and curiousity finally got the better of me. I mean, how can you pass up a sushi dining experience with the feel of a lounge and massive screens showing the hockey game, and a ceiling…More »
Since I have a love for fancy sushi rolls, I stopped by here the other night after walking past the sign on Davie. The rolls are decently priced, similar to Kadoya's, but the rolls just don't compare. Despite the creativity in them, there's just too…More »

I came here for a dinner with a friend and I left $40 poorer and still hungry. The dinner prices seem really high for me, especially since the portions and quality aren't really up to par. I ordered a sushi salad, and there were so few pieces of fish…More »

I was determined to try this place after seeing all the good reviews for it, but it was just never on my way to anything. So finally during the Christmas shopping rush (read: a week before the holidays), I sucked it up and trekked out to this place…More »

My friend took me here the other day, and I was pretty impressed with the sushi offerings. Having given up fried foods for lent, I couldn't indulge on his regular order of agedeshi tofu, chicken katsu don, or gyozas - so I ordered two specialty…More »

Decent prices here for all you can eat, as well as regular food menu. I like that their AYCE has different tiers during dinner, so it can start as low as $22, but go as high as $27 (an option I'd truly consider since it has black cod). Either way,…More »

How fantastic is this place? So fantastic.
I've been meaning to try this place out for the longest time, but I finally stopped in after the CMYE Seawalk after Robin reminded me about it. I was just going to grab and go, but there were only two people…More »

What a lovely restaurant! Showed up with the husband for a Saturday date night, to find this place busy as heck! With the way layout of the place, the seats are pretty close together - I'm fairly certain the table next to us was on an awkward early…More »

I tried out the sushi here as a take-out after Joshua N recommended it, and it did not disappoint. The place is small and quiet and hidden away beside a bunch of other stores, but I was determined to find it and try it out.
The decor is very simple,…More »
How have I not written a review for this place? I eat here all the time, and I take all my out of towners here to experience the joy that is sushi on the west coast. Sure there are plenty of places that are of better quality, but for the price you…More »
Normally I'd be a bit worried about places that have dual menus (in this case, Japanese and Vietnamese food), but Blue Sky proved to be decent and of good value. If you arrive after 8pm on a weekday, they have 20% off their entire menu, which is…More »
I came here a few months ago to treat two of my lady besties to an omakase delight. I had done my research, read the reviews and was fairly confident with my pick. And Octopus Garden did not disappoint. When we got there, the server said that the…More »
What a delicious stop along the bus lines! Though I raised my eyebrow at the "Japanese Bistro", I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of food. I picked up some take out from here as I was rushing to get home, but the place inside is quite…More »

My brother and I decided to give this place a visit after all the rave reviews, and it's definitely a nice place but small and busy - you defnitely need reservations. We were heartbroken when they told us they were completely booked up for dinner on…More »
This is my go-to sushi spot on my visits to Toronto. The fish is always fresh and the daily deals are great: $8 for 20 pieces of salmon on Tuesday? I'm there! The place is tiny and there is definitely a crowd during the regular meal times, so try to…More »

I love this place! Ever since Thu took me here last year I've been looking for a good reason to go back. It's not a cheapie sushi joint, so I always feel as if I need a special reason to come here.
The prices are definitely reasonable for their…More »

I was pretty excited when I ordered my dinner here - their menu showed a good selection of sushi, sashimi, grilled food and box combos. As always, my eyes found the specialty rolls and I proceeded to order three items off the list over the phone for…More »
Dim Sum! (20)I love dim sum. I will gladly wake up early on a weekend to go try a new dim sum place out. If you're lacking a vehicle like I am, then perhaps some of these places may interest you when you get a dumpling itch? If I can get there san-car, so can you! |
