Sushi California

I would give this restaurant 0 stars if I could.
I’m a student at the high school across the street and every time I walk in there, I am absolutely appalled at the service and the abhorrent way they treat people. The owners are incredibly stingy; for example, when I bought a dish there for take-​out, they gave me one plastic fork. I asked for another one, and they wouldn’t give it to me unless I paid 25 cents (which is not a big deal, really). This is, all in all, a very small thing.
My larger issue is with the attitude they seem to have towards us high school students. The place is practically always empty, except for during lunchtimes when students flood in to buy food. Their main business essentially comes from the high school students. In light of this fact, you’d think they would treat them well and with dignity. I think this is basic human decency, regardless of the context. However, every time I go in there (which is almost never, because I refuse to give them my business), I am astonished at how they seem to patronize every high school kid. I understand that there are a lot of high schoolers who are probably rude and who loiter, but that is absolutely NO excuse for the businessowners to act as unprofessionally as they do. An example: They have a sign on their door that says ‘No Outside Food or Drink”, which is perfectly fine. Today, however, I was there briefly and witnessed the owner yelling at the top of her lungs at a group of kids who had brought in their own food. They looked perplexed and said that they had bought a dish, but the woman shrieked that she doesn’t care and that they can go eat their own food outside and a slew of more inappropriately rude words. The proper way to deal with this, as a businessowner, (no matter how irritated you may be) is to politely ask these people not to bring their own food in or to politely ask them to leave. It is incredibly, unbelievably degrading the way that the owners treat high schoolers seemingly just because we are teenagers. Someone’s age doesn’t give you the right to degrade them and treat them as if they are parasites, ESPECIALLY when this very person is your patron.
I am simply in disbelief at this behaviour. Not to mention that their food is not good at all. On the occasions that I have eaten there, I have been extremely disappointed with the service (takes like 20 minutes to make one sushi roll) and with the actual quality of the food. Literally the only incentive for ever buying food there is just lack of other options across from our high school. That’s it. The quality of food there is not even comparable to the quality at places like Ginza or 168 sushi for virtually the same price.
Again, if I could give this place a zero, I would. If I could give it a negative number, I would. I refuse to give business to such rude people and I urge everyone else to do the same.

Pretty dull seeming and empty Sushi and Korean restaurant at what is otherwise a rather busy plaza at Clark and Dufferin.
Prices are not unreasonable but service was slow and perfunctory. The state of the place left much to be desired with words carved into the wood trim in the walls, poor menus, and sketchy people hanging around, one of whom nearly had me calling the cops. Mostly take-​out and very few people at tables for dinner.
The food left much to be desired; having had tempura udon on multiple occasions, I’ve never had it served with such little (two pieces) and overcooked tempura or with a broth I had no desire to finish eating after two spoonfuls.
Sushi options are plentiful, but with an inability to identify the type of cooked fish in the roll I ordered, it might be worth sticking to something simple.

I really enjoyed their dinner. The owner was very nice and so was his wife. They took a great care of us.
The rolls they served us was very interesting. It was called Hollywood Roll which literally has fruits inside and out. You will think it just doesn’t look right at the first moment but it was unexpectedly delicious! It was a new kind of roll sushi and tasting that roll was just an awesome experience to have. It reminded me of having some French crêpe. FYI, I’ll suggest not to put any soy sauce on that roll!
I also enjoyed the tuna steak dish and fresh water eel and shrimp tempura roll with slices of avocado on the top. Their shrimp tempura was very crispy which I loved!
Over all, we spent a great time there and we were satisfied with all the food we got and all the service they provide us. We will definitely be there again!

It’s okay. Just okay. All the items on the menu aren’t bad, but it’s just the atmosphere of the place.
There is never any customers, unless it is lunch time during the school year where the place is flooded with noisy kids. Other than that, no customers.
This place would be good as a sushi take-​out only restaurant since they are only busy during one time of the day, and when students do buy lunch there, it is almost always to go.
If for any reason you are thinking of eating inside, DO NOT GO BETWEEN 11am and 2pm between September and June. I repeat, DO NOT! 98% of the kids inside during school lunch are noisy, rude, ignorant, and just plain disgusting. I can go on forever with this rant because I stormed out once (yes I paid for my food) because I couldn’t take the disrespectfulness. Basically, it’s always huge groups going in and only one friend buys sushi and the other people in the group (like 8 people) buy food from the pizza place or sub place beside and loiter inside. When they are asked to leave, they laugh and point at the owners face and talk back (she is not fluent in English). I wanted to yell at those kids, but I didn’t want to get involved.
Aside from that, this place is only good for take-​out, and take my advice. Do not go there between the times I listed above.
Also, there is no All-​You-​Can-​Eat

Typical sushi prices but lacking in every other respect. This place is right across from a high school so I can understand why the tables are all mangled with scrapings of graffiti and scribbles. Being there at 8:00 at night and being the only customers ordering food you would think that things would be fast and the staff would be efficient.
I felt like we had come in when they were hoping that once the other table of people finished up they would be able to close early for the night. The kitchen had lots of noise and all the staff were hiding back there but it certainly wasn’t because they were in any rush to serve us.
