Natural Sushi Japanese Restaurant

Popped in for a light meal of miso soup & a few veggie rolls. Miso was ok (if salty), but the cucumber roll was dried out. Yam tempura roll was slimy & greasy; I threw up after the second piece.
I don’t recommend Natural Sushi.

I’ve come to Natural Sushi at least a handful of times now, twice in a large group (10 people) and a couple times in one to one to small groups. Consistency wise, their food is usually good and their service is timely (except at busy hours, when they are a bit slower). Their food here is quite tasty — and cooked well! The prices are good and I like their lunch and dinner combo/​boxes. I’m not the biggest fan of the sushi rolls or sashimi here — I think they’re better at other places and the fish could be fresher/​better cut, but their ramen, teppanyaki and terriyaki marinated meat dishes are great I think, especially the kalbi/​short beef ribs and the salmon terriyaki. My friend says the raymun is more filling than Sansotei! They take debit, cash and credit. A nice place to go to a small intimate lunch or dinner date with a friend or S/​O, but like I said, I have been with a large group and they’ve been able to accommodate for us (by pushing smaller tables together at the back), which is quite nice for the restaurant to do. Last but not least, their bathroom (single) is really clean! Haha. That’s important, right?

Amazing price for the quality and care they put into the food. Very fresh. I have tried more expensive places and always return to this place.

Very nice little place for sushi，after shopping，I love the salmon delight and the deepfried ice cream tasted amazing

I go to this sushi joint when I’m too lazy to cook. I always order the sashimi roll and unagi roll. I think the unagi roll is not worth it after a few times. The first time I had it, it was good with avocado on top and a lot of eel but the second I got it, there was barely ANY unagi. $ 5 is way out of reach.
My boyfriend ordered the unagi don and it looked good and tasted pretty decent.

The food was actually really tasty here! With tax, lunch on the weekend came to about $ 17.
Our server was nice, some of our orders were messed up but it wasn’t a huge deal for me.
I liked all the rolls I tried. Even ones I usually don’t like, I found tasty here.
The salmon on the nigiri was thick and I usually hate the fake crab in sushi but I liked it here.
The rolls come in rounds of three which is nice if you want to try a bunch of different kinds… Which you know you do.
The ice cream and fried bananas were wicked. The cooked dishes were good too.
Not a bad, little spot!

The food and price were really good! The service was a little slow and some items were missed, but that happens fairly frequently at these all you can eat places. Overall definitely a good experience!

I suggest coming here hungry. I had the maki set, and it was quite filling.
Great because:
— tea with kettle provided with meal
— service is great
— rice portion is significantly less than other places
— fish portions are big
Not so great:
— fish quality could be better, but it’s not much different from other sushi places I’ve tried downtown in that price range
— within the price range, it’s not the cheapest

I’ve read the reviews of this restaurant and I feel like it needs an update. I started coming to Natural Sushi about a year and a half ago. Yes, the décor and bathrooms left much to be desired. However they have completely RE-​DECORATED the bathrooms and the dining room in the past couple months. The one main waitress can be bitchy at times, especially when the restaurant is busy! The other waitress doesn’t speak very good English — so this can be frustrating at times. Admittedly, the service is poorer than other restaurants IMHO.
However, my meal was great and so I kept coming back — both for eat in AYCE, and for take out. The food is very good though! I love the Goyza, the Tempura is always done perfectly — veggies or shrimp! The rolls that I LOVE and can recommend are *ANY* of the Dragon rolls (green, black, gold) The Toronto roll, spider roll, Queen roll — OH and of course the spicy salmon and tuna rolls are awesome! I also enjoy the avocado salad. It has *very* generous pieces of avocado, and they will put Tobiko on top — as much or as little as you want. I usually order $ 1 of Tobiko and it’s just enough and tastes amazing!
I go here at least once every couple of weeks. It is a nice little restaurant with decent sushi (as good as any other AYCE restaurants. And often I get take out as they offer a 10% discount on take out orders.
I honestly would recommend Natural Sushi to my friends and family and of course, I’m going back… again and again!

I came here a couple of times and the place is pretty good. The lunch specials have 12 sushi rolls which have plenty of fish in there and not overloaded with rice which is great. It comes with a side of salad and miso soup for around $ 10. I’m always beyond full when I have this.
I also tried their all you can eat buffet but was more disappointed at the food. The sushi is similar but the other dishes weren’t very good. The chicken karaga was soggy and full of dough rather than meat, the soup was a little tasteless and the dim sum was overcooked. The service was extremely slow too even though there were only two other tables in the entire restaurant and two waiters available. If you’re coming here for lunch during work hours, you will not be able to have a decent lunch without being late getting back to work.
I was little disappointed that they didn’t have beef ribs or sashimi. But for $ 12.99, you can’t really expect too much. Decent place, decent food so if you’re there for a casual lunch, I think it’s a pretty good place to go without breaking the bank.

All you can eat at a good price (the price pretty much sums the best of this restaurant up).
No sashimi for lunch (but that’s on par with all the all you can eats). Sushi rolls were not bad — average sushi place, so you get your typical orders of california rolls, salmon roll, etc etc.
There’s a lack of service and almost a hesitating nervousness type of service. This is circumvented by the paper that you mark on to order. They do come pick up your order once in a while.
Restaurants was pretty much empty on a saturday afternoon.

Decent sushi with generous fish portions at a good price. I would come back here.
All sushi and rolls had large amounts of fish in each piece. Thankfully each roll had only 3 pieces (special rolls have 4) because otherwise I would have been full very quickly due to the size of each piece. Most of the fish I ate was good, but one piece of butterfish wasn’t aged enough and was chewy and watery. Chicken karaage was lacking Japanese mayo and initially they said they didn’t have any but brought some later. The avocado salad has a lot of avocado which is great, but the dressing they use for the salad is very watery (or maybe the lettuce is very watery and needs
Service was very poor. The waitress was generally disinterested in serving tables and does not make eye contact with customers (!?). When you walk in the front door, the sushi chefs who work at the front aren’t going to acknowledge you, so ideally the waitress should pro-​actively greet people entering… but she doesn’t.

The washrooms are disgusting. Downstairs is a unisex washroom with 2 stalls (one seemingly permanently out of order) and two sinks. There’s lots of graffiti, the flooring and washroom and sinks are of a very old style.

I am here @ the moment and can only tell you that the service in this place is terrible!!!
The waitress acts similar to food police

Probably the most disgusting sushi I ever had in my life. the sushi was way too big and EVERYTHING had too much rice the sushi, the hand rolls and let’s just say you shouldn’t choose a place where they have French fries, onion rings and sushi in the same menu. The washroom looked like something from a movie where it’s been abandoned for decades and hasn’t been cleaned.
The food was just gross the salmon at the entrance looked fresh but when served it was warm when raw fish should be refrigerated and with lemon to burn all bacteria. After that sushi place my friends and I did not eat for the rest of the day and skipped breakfast for the next day because we felt disgusting. Service was horrible there was a little girl running around and just annoying.

Ever since Nijo sushi switched owners, my work colleagues and I have been in pursuit of a sushi joint that offers decent rolls + sashimi, while not skimping out on portions — former Nijo sushi patrons will agree with me! My colleague and I stumbled upon Natural sushi 2 weeks ago and it is now our go-​to place for quelling those persistent sushi cravings. This place has some of the largest sushi rolls I’ve ever tried and they are prepared with an admirable fish to rice ratio. When we first visited this place, I wasn’t sure if the chef really knew how to make sushi, as the rolls were huge and the price was extremely reasonable — $ 6 for 12 rolls… Natural’s offerings are by no means the most fresh (or best quality) sushi but for what it’s worth, it is a great deal! Definitely recommend checking out this place if you work around the Yonge/​Bloor area.

Just ok. Nothing too special to make it stand out. I am generally a fan of AYCE menus and theirs was quite well laid out and had plenty of options to consider.
Would return, but maybe to try out the lunch options.

$ 11.99 for AYCE sushi? I’m down.
Add $ 1 Friday — Sunday. Still down.
The food was delicious. The menu was limited. The spicy salmon roll was succulent. The waitress was far too sassy.
We got in at 3pm and ordered everything we were gonna eat right away. Last call was at 3:30pm. The non-​polite waitress was busy flirting with the electrical guy. Absolutely horrified by the awkward display, we looked on and judged. Then 3:35 flew by and she wasn’t back. When she finally walked over to us, I’ve gotta say, I did not appreciate her choice walking style: the leisurely stride. I ordered the red bean ice cream and it was good.
I wanted more ice cream but she was like, «last call was at 3:30pm, I told you that before»…lady, come on now. It’s not like I wanted some dynamite maki. It’s not like I wanted shrimp tempura and you were gonna have to defrost some shrimp, break the face and legs off with your bare hands, then dip it in batter and deep fry it then diute some soy sauce and call it tempura sauce and slam it on the table for me.
And for THAT reason alone, I’m not going back. Not because I was super offended, but because there are just TOO many sushi places in this city for me to have to put up with ANYTHING.
Also, those fish ARE alarmingly too big for that fish tank. Where is PETA at? They can’t even get a good turn in the tank. If one fish was like, «hey look over there,» the other fish would be like, «I can’t brah, tanks too small» Anyone can see that for such a small tank there shouldn’t be TWO large fish (see the photos).
Anyway, check this place out if you’re into cheap sushi. Just know that there might be traces of sass on the menu.
4 stars!

I try to avoid AYCE Sushi downtown, but when the craving hits, Natural Sushi is the go-​to spot for dinner. There are 2 dinner AYCE menus $ 17.99 (small menu) and $ 20.99 (larger menu), but the BF and I always go for the smaller menu. As long as I can get my sashimi, I’m good.
Natural Sushi is a small spot along the restaurant filled Yonge street. There are a few booths and like some people say, they’re a weird size that can barely fit 4 people. Service is always fast, could use a bit of smiles tho.
The quality of sushi and sashimi is good for an AYCE. Their hot food comes out piping hot and there’s a lot to choose from… tempura, teriyaki and teppanyaki… Oh My! The only complaint when the BF gets the pop, it’s almost always flat.
Will definitely continue to come back when the next craving hits… even if I live near Bloor Street sushi row.

This is my second time visiting this restaurant and I have to say, I was more impressed this time. I ordered just about every maki roll possible (dynamite, gold dragon, spicy salmon), some sushi and chicken wings.
All the items were quite good with the exception of the red snapper sushi. I would rate the quality of food as 3.5÷5, however I definitely have to bump up one star because of the price. $ 11.99 for AYCE is a steal in this area when Aji Sai is 14, Spring Rolls is around 16 and Fushimi is around $ 15.
Great for business lunches.

Booths are an awkward size. You can barely fit two people on each side. And if you do fit two people, your elbows clash into each other while you eat.
Their prices are amazing. Food is pretty delicious given price point. Now remember, I’m vegetarian. So I can’t help you out with their sashimi or seafood rolls. But the veg dinner bento box is one of the best I’ve had in the city so far. Yummy Tempura. Nice ratios to their rolls. And big portion sizes.
Staff were really nice and didn’t hassle us even though we wandered in only twenty minutes before closing.
As another reviewer mentioned — either get a bigger tank or get a smaller fish. I mean, I never really understood the whole attraction of having live fish in a sushi restaurant. But if you insist on reminding patrons what their food looked like before it writhed around in agony for six minutes desperately gasping for oxygen, you could at least create the illusion that it had a comfortable existence.
Vegetarian rant out.
