Sushi Bar

We have been ordering from Sushi Bar for about 5 years and the quality and freshness of their food is top notch. We are creatures of habit and usually order the Love Boat Sushi and Sashimi (for two). The rolls are fresh, the nigiri are the correct size, the flavours are clean and balanced. Occasionally we will add to our order: sushi pizza, crispy salmon skin hand roll, extra sashimi, too. The service is very fast, friendly and accommodating. The menu is also very well priced.

Decent place. décor is better than what I expected. .price is a bit high. the portion of steamed rice was also small. but the miso and complimentary noodle was really good.
I think they deliver too.

Great service, excellent sushi, cant go wrong!

Decent sushi in South Riverside community in Toronto. Dine-​in service is good, the food is always fresh. The complimentary little bowl of noodles is quite tasty.
Delivery is also good. The food doesn’t sit around before delivery, so you get to eat the same quality of food in the comfort of your own home. I noticed that the delivered maki rolls did not have softened nori by the time we actually sat down to eat.

Yikes,
There was something seriously wrong with the food here. Everything kinda tasted meh and wasn’t as fresh as you want in a Sushi place. Unilocalers beware!

I’ve been here many times before but lately the quality and service has really gone downhill.
Yesterday was the last straw though, I ordered the sushi bento box and when it came it had a FRUIT FLY sitting right on top of my piece of my salmon. SO SO GROSS. So I alert the server, and instead of taking my plate away, goes over, talks to her manager for several minutes, then brings over an extra piece of sushi on separate plate.
This isn’t the first time I’ve gotten food contaminated here, previously I got a piece of hair in my teriyaki but they were quick to resolve the matter .
To make things even worse, the female manager was so rude to me, poured green tea all over my table when I asked for a refill that wasn’t even steeped for a minute so it was basically hot water, and said that the fly wasn’t there when it came to me (what like I put it there?) and that its not their fault. If you like watered down green tea, cheap cuts of fish that you would get at an all you can eat, and unseasoned sushi rice come here, but I won’t be.

Came back tonight cos, well I’m stupid.
Ordered take out. As I was waiting, the sushi chef prepared another customer’s order and not once, but twice, ate some of the fish out of his fingers and then proceeded to continue preparing the sushi without washing his hands.
Spicy salmon maki with a side of saliva.
Gross. Definitely not coming back now.

Had takeout. Was supposed to get 10 percent discount for cash takeout, they charged regular price until I called them out on it. Missing rice with my sashimi dinner when I opened the bag. Asked for low sodium soy sauce when I was leaving, woman claimed it was already in bag. When I opened bag was regular soy sauce. Seriously, is lying to save 5 cents on soy sauce worth it? Just shows what a scam this place is.
Oh and the sashimi is low quality garbage similar to the all you can eat places. Except those places would be half the price. Cheapest cuts of fish, the salmon tasted off. Be warned.

Prices have gone up, quality has gone down. Such a shame. Seems to be a trend in this neighborhood lately.

Huge veggie sushi selection with much more creativity than most veg selections. The interior is pretty cute. Take out and delivery– but no menu posted on the net. Trying to order by phone without the menu handy is pretty much impossible. Having said that– we keep the menu handy. Crunch mango roll and Pink Flower roll are my favourites– order with no mayo to make vegan.

We were here earlier this evening, and of course, we ordered too much again.
The selection of rolls here is large. Today we settled on a Crunchy Spicy Salmon Roll, maybe a CN Tower roll (it had unagi in it), the Pacific Roll and the Skydom Roll, plus a veggie tempura appetizer. I can safely tell you, that it was too much food.
I think the quality of the food is ok, but what I really like is the variety there are no less than 4 pages of rolls to choose from, given many of them are mild variations of each other, it’s always interesting to try something new from here.
It was delish.

I’ve been to this Korean-​run Japanese restaurant a few times over the years. It’s right in front of your face when you get off an eastbound streetcar at Queen and Broadview, and across the street from the disgustingly ancient Jilly’s strip bar.
For an east-​end commercial space, the restaurant is incredibly huge and can accommodate large groups, through the place is never packed. The décor is clean and dark, modern Asian, with dividers splitting much of the space, and usually top 40 pop music filling it. The menu is extensive, yet very typical of a sushi restaurant. The food ranges from okay to yummy. Never impressive, but relatively inexpensive.
They will in a typical sitting serve you miso soup and some side dishes, like in a Korean restaurant. The sides seems to be random and usually sitting-​around-​for-​a-​while-​cold – edamame and cooked bean sprouts, and at one time, even kimchi. I think this sides thing is an influence of the establishment’s Korean owners.
The service quality varies. It may be attentive some days, or slow and ignorant on others.
If I am craving some sushi or a stomach-​stuffing bento box and could care less where it’s coming from, this place will do, not too far from home.
{TTC: Any Queen or King streetcar to Queen/​Broadview. Eastbound cars literally dump you right in front of this place.}

I have eaten sushi across the city for many years. I had a favourite place, Vincent sushi, in my old neighbourhood of Roncesvalles village. Sadly the original chef and owner moved on to a new restaurant a while ago, and I have been searching for my new favourite sushi joint ever since.
Well I have found it! This place rocks. The fish here is fresh and tasty, and the portions are sizeable. I hate ordering nigiri at some sushi places and then you get a minuscule sliver of flavourless fish on a large ball of equally flavourless rice. Well not here!
The maki is also delicious. The spicy tuna roll is the highlight for me. Perfectly balanced, with spicy, sweet and savoury all well represented.
I would recommend this place highly to anyone who loves sushi. Prices are reasonable for what you get. Try this place if you are sick of the bland boring AYCE places on college street and you want some great sushi but don’t want to spend an arm and a leg.

My coworkers and I patronize this place regularly in a variety of capacities: 10 $ take out lunch which includes a perfect portion of sushi, salad, and miso. Or for long, lazy sushi sit-​downs when our bosses have effed off early on Fridays. Or for emergency giant Bowls of Udon when we are hungover.
The 10 $ lunch special is available as eat-​in or take-​out, but when you have time to sit down you are rewarded with a nicely paced parade of edamame, noodle soup, then miso, then salad, then your lunch, then oranges.
I’ve never had anything but tasty food here. My dining companions have never complained either. I guess there isn’t enough salt on the edamame but my palette is shot.
The menu is huge and there is absolutely something for everyone. It’s pleasantly and reassuringly busy but even large groups can usually get a table (we try to do reservations when we are 5+.) The décor is very tidy and relaxing. They always ask if you want to split the bill and offer quick card payments at table, which is always appreciate when you are eating with coworkers and friends.
They let us call our orders in early too, if we like, making it a really great option for us.
Love it!

We came across this place after wandering down Queen St. E. one night, and am I ever glad we did! They have some of the freshest sushi I’ve tasted, a wide selection of sashimi, and awesome service to boot.
Right across from Jilly’s, the façade of Sushi Bar is pretty unassuming, and despite all the times I’ve passed by before, I never really gave it a second glance (no, *not* because I was distracted by the full length posters plastered on the other side of the street). Once you get inside though, you’ll realize it’s definitely a step above your average, cookie cutter, all-​you-​can-​eat sushi joint.
I really liked the lanterns and the embroidered hangings they had over the bar. Sure, the characters were on the lanterns were Chinese rather than Japanese, but then again, the owners are neither, Korean in fact… just call it pan-​asian fusion! The plastic screens dividing the booths are a nice touch and add a bit of privacy to your meal.
I’d definitely recommend getting the Love Boat platter, it has a nice variety of rolls (some spicy ones too, mmm) and fish, plus offers good value if you’re going in for dinner. Also really loved their miso soup. Normally I shy away from the overly salty brew, but Sushi Bar added a cute little bundle of thin noodles to theirs, yum!
Our server was attentive and constantly smiling; she really helped make it a memorable experience. I’d definitely come back here again, even if only to hear her say «Sapporo piiitcher?»…err, I mean, to try the unagi! Open until 2 AM, this is the perfect place to drop in and refuel on some real food during those summer all-​nighter adventures!

I was really excited when I learned that a Japanese place was moving in only a block away from me. Finally, sushi without the commute!!!
Sushi Bar is good. It’s not the best I’ve had, but it’s usually solid though not particularly inventive. Though I often will do the Love Boat take out after a long day at work, I do prefer eating there. I really like the noodle with tempura flake appetizer they bring gratis. The five or six edamame that accompany it always makes me smile.
In regards to service, generally it’s pretty good. One time we went and sat in one of the booths near the back of the restaurant, they forgot that we were there. When they realized their mistake, they were very apologetic. I blame it on those dividers. I learned my lesson and I always try to take a table closer to the front where we are more visible.
The space is attractive, but it’s also large. Sometimes that’s a good thing since there’s lots of room, but other times it makes it feel a little empty. At least you never have to wait for a table.

This place is just down the street from my office so I have been here many times to pick up one of their lunch specials. For about $ 12 you can walk away with a nice bento box or 2 rolls including soup and an appetizer.
I have also been here for team lunches and can easily accommodate a party of 12 people. If you have this many people, get 3 boats and a few orders of tempura and you will be full for about $ 20 a head.
Only 3 stars because I find the staff slow and inattentive. You always have to ask for more water, or food. They never come by to see how you are doing or if you need any extras.

There is something lacking in Sushi Bar’s sushi… I love the deco, the ambiance, the service (it was lacking in the beginning, but after I complained then all good from then on), the quantity, but the quality of the food was very disappointing!
Sushi Dinner 1 ($ 17.95)
— 9 pieces of nigiri and a choice of either Spicy Tuna/​Salmon
— the fish was not too fresh… and was slice really thin and each sushi made with huge ball of rice
— no wasabi at all in any sushi… I know some Japanese restaurant will ask if you prefer not to (Mikado does that) but Sushi Bar is one of the first one that I been to that does not put any wasabi inside.
— the Tuna Spicy roll was just so so. the spiciness is really from the spicy mayo on top…
— The shari rice was not made properly, as I notice it really lack the taste of rice vinegar…
I do like the nice touch that my meal came with a lot of appetizers: soup with tempura bits and noodle, edamane, pickled bean sprouts and teriyaki tofu. And an ice cream to finish off…
Those Japanese screens does provide some privacy. but if you need the attention of the wait staffs. you really have to scream and wave them down…
As Sushi Bar is right across from Jilly’s, I don’t feel too safe and comfortable coming here after dark…

I loved the food. It was really good.
They have nice separations into 6 Person settings which visibly blocks the rest of the restaurant and also worked very well with just my wife and son. They provide high chairs.
Very cozy and gives you more privacy than most others.
Very friendly staff.
My coupon (Groupon or Teambuy, I don’t remember) didn’t cover the whole bill, but they said: Don’t worry about it! (What?)
So I left a very nice Tip and will be back…

Sushi Bar is one of those happy accidents where we randomly walked in without any idea what we were getting into and discovered something great!
From the exterior, you wouldn’t have expected that the interior is actually very modern, with décor leaning toward dark, sleek and calming. It is a surprisingly big space and I’ve always been seated immediately. With the entrance located right behind a bus shelter on the south west corner of Queen Street West and Broadview, Sushi Bar is very accessible by streetcar. There is free parking on the street on Broadview generally after 6pm right around the corner.
The maki and sushi here are very fresh and tasty. As a heavy indulger in maki, I was impressed with the thin, rather than unacceptably thick, layer of rice wrapping the delicious ingredients. The bits of avocado in the maki are huge. On this occasion, I had the Roll Set 2 that consists of 8 dynamite rolls and 8 spicy rolls. Mmm… so good!
The meals come with snacks like miso soup, a yummy noodle cup, and various things like spicy bean sprouts and chilled deep fried tofu. There are various Asian-​style pub specials like a pitcher of beer with 4 chicken wings or 4 takoyaki (I think!) for $ 20.95.
I would definitely go out of my way for another visit!
