D & Y Sushi

Great sushi — flavourful, fresh and delicious. Decent wine selection that extends beyond just one white and one red. Nice vibe. Haven’t been disappointed once yet, and already visited at least 5 times and ordered out a few! It’s nice to have a sit-​down sushi resto option in the neighbourhood. God job, D & Y!

After my second visit to D & Y sushi, I’ve decided that I’m not going back. The place seems like a front for some other business, quite frankly. The atmosphere/​décor is thrown together and generic. There are rarely many customers, so the staff all congregate in a booth near the back of the restaurant, tapping on their cell phones.
So you’re in a random, empty sushi restaurant. Once you finally get seated and get a menu in your hands, you then get hit with oddly high prices. Doing a quick online menu comparison, D & Y sushi is totally on par price-​wise with high-​end Toronto sushi restaurants such as Yuzu no Hana and Fune. Even more perplexing is that none of the main sushi rolls are accompanied by miso soup and salad. Those have to be ordered separately, adding up to an additional $ 7.
The staff are more attentive towards their cell phones than they are to you. Once they come by to take your order, unfortunately, they don’t seem to have enough of a command of the english language to be able to understand what it is that you want to order.
Once it gets late enough in the evening (after 9pm), the staff are all served dinner in their booth from a big bowl of food that looks way more delicious that what you’ve just been served. They will not be moved from their table while eating, even if you and the only other table of people in the place are waiting to pay your bill.
I guess the food tasted good enough, which is why I’m giving one star.

Decide to try out this restaurant on a long weekend. Was planning to have a nice dinner with gf. First the server couldn’t really understand English so it took forever to get the order. Then, one of the appetizer was «sold out». After that, the food came except the vegetarian sushi. Waited and waited finally the owner came and said they ran out of rice. I asked her how can a sushi restaurant ran out of rice?! Anyway, they didn’t suggest any other menu item and was not very apologetic about it. So we asked for the bill, they charged us for the sold out appetizer and we had to remind them that the appetizer was sold out and never got it. There are dozens of good sushi restaurants in the area, I definitely would not recommend this place.

I live around the corner and just tried this place for take-​out a few weeks ago. I’m just a regular guy who likes sushi, and not some kind of expert, but I was not disappointed. Not life-​changing or anything, but also not bad. Tasty, fresh, the staff are very nice, a little pricey (but everything around here is).

This area really needs more sushi so I was quite happy that this place came about. Overall my feeling is that it was mediocre at best — and I was a little annoyed that they don’t have proper A.C.
I got one sushi combination and one maki combination. The fish portion was fine. The taste was OK. The price was a bit on the pricier side — but cheap enough that it isn’t worth a TTC token ride out of the junction. The crispy part of the maki rolls were OK. The rice wasn’t warm (my pet peeve) but it was tasted like just regular rice? It was a bit confusing but non-​sushi experts may not even care.
The alcohol menu was a bit weird but they did have some nice cold sake and cold beer.
Service was good but it was kind of dead!
I hope they stay.

Was very apprehensive about this place after I read lots of mediocre reviews after it first opened. I was pleasantly surprised, however, at the quality of the sushi and I’ve been back multiple times.
Sushi has a good rice to filling ratio, and the rolls are generously sized. Fish is the right temperature too. Bento boxes are great and my 2.5 year old ate all of his chicken teriyaki, which is an accomplishment for any restaurant. Pushed my luck one night and ordered a cocktail, which was pretty mediocre, so save your cockail $$ for the Passenger down the street :).
Décor is lovely and the place felt pretty clean with very friendly service. A nice eat-​in option and a great addition to the neighbourhood.

I’m glad there is a nice sushi place around my area. I have been there a couple of times and I have always left satisfied. The sushi rolls are nice and good portions. I have tried California rolls, dynamite and teriyaki.

This place is always empty so I wasn’t sure what it would be like. Wanted to give a positive review for others to see so it will stay open. I like that there is a sit down sushi place in the neighbourhood.
We got the small boat. Didn’t come on a boat but it was delicious. It came on a lazy Susan instead, which was pretty handy. Veggie Dragon roll is a superior roll compared to options elsewhere. The Caterpillar roll had nice pieces of salmon.
First floor bathroom. The music was a little Dance Mix 2013 so not really up my alley or what I expect for a sushi date but that’s really my only constructive feedback.

Great sushi. The galbi is the best in the city. I have tried to find better but none can compare! The service is very good. The servers are attentive and knowledgeable.

We were looking forward to trying this new sushi restaurant in the neighbourhood. we love Lan sushi, but it’s not really a sit-​down dinner place.
the food was good — not incredible, but fresh enough and tasty.
one thing we thought was not good was that miso soup and salad doesn’t come with the combos (only with bento boxes)-from our sushi experience, this is unusual. Also, the bento boxes are not the ‘usual’ boxes that are served at sushi restaurants. Just not what you expect — but not in the «wow! not what I expected!» kind of way, more in the «there are certain things that make you feel good about paying certain amounts in restaurants and some of these are missing» kind of way.
service was great.

This place is decent. I was really surprised by the grilled squid… which was tasty, crispy and flavorful considering the fact that it was not deep fried or sauced.
The sushi is standard, the atmosphere is chilled and the service is quick. It doesn’t seem like it would handle a big rush well though… management should think about that.
I don’t think this place deserves a 1 star rating and maybe I’m giving a generous 4 stars to bring that rating up…
It’s worth checking out at least…

The menu is annoying as are the prices. The sushi was mediocre at best. The boat we ordered didn’t come on a boat. They had no hot sake, though the cold sake list looked good. Beer is list is dog shit. Waiter was pretty useless and too many white people for an Asian place. Fuck that stupid menu!
