Maki My Way

All plastic! Could not believe that they have no re-​usable plates or cups for eating-​in. Everything is served in plastic containers! Had burnt udon soup in a melting plastic bowl, ok dumplings, and so so veggie roll. Very average food overall, not at all authentic or Japanese. Nice people working there but a disappointing experience food wise.

Wanted a quick bite after the aquarium. Checked in for a free appie… nice bonus. Food was very fresh. Miso soup was tasty… could have been a touch warmer. Definitely recommend.

I love customizing my rolls! It’s certainly a novel experience and I was pleased with how good the food is.
The staff are SUPER FRIENDLY. ALL of them. Easily the best service I’ve received at a sushi restaurant. I’ll come back just for the service!

What a pleasant surprise! A nice hole in the wall place next to the hipster places and wow, if you want some great sushi, this is a great place to stop in. Friendly staff. Good selection and everything I had was excellent. A salmon bento box and crunchy salmon rolls. Yum. I will definitely go here again!

I just finished watching Captain America (civil war) and wanted to grab a bite. I came upon this place as Unilocal hosted an event here a few months ago.
They have their 50% off closing sale towards he end of the day which was a great incentive for me to try out.
I must say, the service and friendly hospitality is the best part. Rob (manager) is a great guy who really tries to serve his customers. The couple next to me wanted sushi rolls with no rice and Rob instantly worked with the client and kitchen to make this happen. He is really dedicated to his work and the business.
I had some mixed salmon/​tuna/​avocado rolls and they tasted great (my benchmark are other take out sushi places). Good assortment and variety– lots of mixing and matching.
Their menu has different assortments of teriyaki bowls, bentos — I will be back to check that out.
Best part — check in on Unilocal to get miso soup/​salad/​appetizer/​drink. Now that’s value.

First of ALL the staff is super friendly.
Second the moment you check in you get a free appetizer… I picked spring rolls!
Third Bento Box is supper delicious with a choice of salmon, pork, chicken, or shrimp on rice, California rolls, salad, dumplings, and miso soup… omg filling and delicious with miso soup on side! Oh I already mentioned that :-D super flavourful and yummy!
All for $ 14.00 after tax now we’re talkin! Bön-​appetite!!!

Best sushi I had in a long time. very friendly and fast stuff. patio outside! you can customize your sushi but you don’t have to ;) summed up 5 stars

Went in after spending the day at Ripleys aquarium of all places. Staff was sweet and the entire place filled up after they handed out samples outside. Good sushi, fast service.

I have no idea what people see in this place. Ordered it via DoorDash and nothing but disappointment.
Husband and I ordered
2 veggie rolls (asked for no lettuce or cucumber– easy requests)
Tofu
Gyoza
1 meat roll
Spring rolls
Chicken karaage
On spring rolls, gyoza I specifically wrote please only send if vegetarian.
Food came. Super tiny portions. Wasabi smeared on rolls (eww!l)
Lettuce & cucumber inside (asked for none)
Chicken was super tiny portion for $ 5. Usually double size at most restaurants. Looked greasy and gross.
Bit into spring roll which had meat (been a vegetarian 10 years. Was unimpressed)
Food was gross.
How does it have such positive reviews on here???

Five stars for quality and tasty food; for excellent customer service by owner and employees; for environment. For overall experience! Everything!
I came by here yesterday as I was walking the street and I was impressed! I was just looking at the menu outside and the wonderful owner approached me & asked if we’d like to try a sample. I never see sushi restaurants giving out samples!
We then decided we were going to dine in there. They have a cute little patio, but kind of got windy. It’ll be great for when summer weather comes! There’s alcohol on the menu. You can create your own sushi rolls, and it’s not overpriced like many other sushi restaurants. The special rolls are different. Not any you’ve seen at other sushi places.
** chicken kaarage is a must !
This might just be my go-​to spot when I’m craving some sushi. Highly highly recommend.
Will be back!

You wouldn’t think this bright little place would serve alcohol, but you can purchase beer, wine and sake! The sushi is consistently good, the fish is fresh and the rice has a nice texture. Some of the rolls are pretty creative, and my favorite is the cajun albacore. As for the create your own roll, there are loads of options! I recently tried their vegetarian rolls even though I’m not vegetarian, and they were pretty good. Also, their pork belly yakisoba is delicious. Overall a convenient and casual place to stop by for lunch.

Cafeteria/​casual dining style. I came with a friend of mine for a quick bite before going to the movies. Great service from Lynn and Bianca on a Sat night. Food came quickly I ordered the 3 mini steamed bao sandwiches: 2 pork belly which I found dry; & 1 ground beef (more moist). As well as 3 slices of salmon sashimi and a kimchi appetizer (very generous portion size). My appetizer was free for doing a check-​in on my Unilocal app (value $ 2.50).
Salmon Sashimi quality seemed fine.
Really like how they automatically give the option of regular or low sodium soy sauce. Other places you have to ask for it. Good job.
I would go back for a quick bite. For the 2 things I ordered my total was $ 11 – 12 + tip for excellent and friendly service (my appetizer was free– use your check-​in button). I was still a bit hungry though.

I ordered here because of their end-​of-​day 30% off sales. So I bought a box of 12 pieces sushi for around 9 dollar plus tax. I grab a box for take-​out to eat at home.
The sushi is just the OK quality. It is what you expect from fast food sushi place.
The sushi fell apart when I was eating.
The price is good for downtown sushi place. I would probably eat it here when I came home from work and needed something for dinner.

Last weekend my friends and I came across this restaurant as we were in the area. It is definitely a place for take out or to have a quick meal. We ordered a large platter (72 pcs) which was ample for the 6 of us.
The sushi did fall apart easily. However, it was good (spicy salmon crunch was really good).
The staff were very friendly and helpful as well. They were very familiar with the menu and were able to answer all our questions. They also helped us customize the menu to meet our desires.
We spent approximately $ 108 for 6 people and it included 72 pcs of sushi and 22 tempura shrimps. We also got one free appetizer as it was a check in offer via Unilocal.So we chose the miso soup.

I enjoyed my experience at Maki My Way. I was in the area for a quick bite and did not want to have to wait long for my meal (but still have a decent one of course!) and this was one of the few restaurants in the area where I could do just that!
I ordered a bento box with pork belly and rice, maki, seaweed salad and gyoza. I could taste the freshness of everything in my plate and enjoyed the favour of the pork belly.
Very laid back vibe. I appreciated that I could just grab any seat, and a server would bring me my tray of food with the option of low sodium soy sauce and carefully place it in front of me. I’m accustomed to this service which is also at Panera Bread and I think it’s such a lovely touch of customer service and a most welcoming interaction.
Thank you Maki My Way! Hopefully next time I’ll remember to check Unilocal first so that I can unlock the offer of a free appetizer and create a customized maki roll for fun!

I came here with a bunch of friends on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant is very clean and has a nice ambiance. The ordering process is very easy. So you can either get swift takeout or just dine in.
What is unique about this sushi joint is that you can customize your maki. I opted to try that and it was quite fun to choose ingredients and build my own roll. They make it pretty straightforward by giving you a piece of paper which states all the options very clearly. I also ordered their Chicken Karaage appetizer. It came with a garnish of green onions and garlic mayo sauce which had a sweet hint to it. I really liked this! The chicken was juicy and crispy and the sauce complemented it very well.
The service was amazing. The owner, Rob, is very friendly and really appreciates his customers. He even gave everyone in the restaurant a few samples of other rolls to taste so we know what else they have to offer. One thing I noticed is that they serve all food in takeout containers even if you are dining in. I would love to get the food in real plates as it is more eco friendly. It is however really convenient if you can’t finish your meal and want to take the leftovers home.
Overall we had a great experience. This place offers affordable sushi and I will definitely be back to try some more!

Love this little lunch/​dinner spot! Great place to grab some food if you’re looking for a quick snack before the movies or the baseball game. The people who run this place are also super friendly and helpful. Every time I go in everyone has huge smiles on their faces, how can you not love that?
I love their concept of make your own sushi. Especially because I have some crazy dietary restrictions and sometimes going out for AYCE with friends can be a huge pain for me.
Also two tips* The check-​in offer is a great one; One free app with purchase! And if you go near the end of the day they have a 30% off any grab and go sushi. Woo!

Went here for lunch after the owner was giving out 10% off coupons and samples nearby. I’m so glad we did!
Vegetarian sushi can be hit and miss, I had the veggie lover #1 and with the tofu it was delicious and filling!
My sister had the dragon rolls and totally devoured them as well, we absolutely coming back! There are a couple of other tofu items I would love to try.

This is a great place on the Restaurant Row, you know that stretch of King St. where every 2 steps someone is shoving a menu in your face. I know, I know, competition is tough, but so is in Rue De Boulangerie in Bruxelles and over there they have the good sense to offer some freebie drinks to lure you in.
Maki my way’s claim to fame is ‘make your own maki roll’ — somewhat like pizza, choosing your own ingredients from a list of ‘toppings.’ I didn’t have the patience for that though, so just ordered their Shrimp Bento Box which was excellent, even though the teriyaki sauce over the shrimp was the regular average variety that you find all over the place in Toronto (why can’t I find the pungent teriyaki sauce I had in Tokyo?).
Ingredients were fresh, sushi was good, and there were more than 3 shrimp, unlike in some other places. Overall a good, fast lunch/​dinner.

The whole point here is that you can make your own sushi! That means endless possibilities! The rolls start from $ 7.50, and depending on how balling you want your roll, it can get a bit pricier. I find with sushi, I love salmon, tuna, avocado and shrimp tempura. Not exactly an adventurer here, so I tried the Green Dragon — delicious! They also have a funky little «Oh Canada’ roll that includes cheese, bacon and just general goodness. The rolls were freshly made, and ingredients were fresh too!
The star of this all, though, is the Chicken Karage ($ 4.50). Now THAT is DELICIOUS! Crispy fried chicken bites that comes with a bit of salad sauce. Let me tell you, each bite is juicy, tender chicken breast, and fried perfectly. SO GOOD!
They also serve Sake, Sapporo on tap and a variety of wines and beers. Not bad at all for a little sushi place!
The owner also let us know that they are looking at getting a frozen yogurt machine soon, so expect to see green tea froyo in the near future. I would come again and again!
