Sushi Inn

Though it’s in the fancy area Yorkville, the price is perfectly reasonable and the food is just on point. Probably my favourite sushi place in town

This is my go-​to take out place. I always get the Sushi Inn lunch special, with a substitution of California rolls (+$ 2). It comes with a soup, salad, a platter of tempura, dumplings, and sushi. The portions are fantastic, the flavour is great, and the service is attentive. I usually do take-​out, and had asked for a delivery once (which was free, but don’t forget to tip the guy!). As a student, this place is budget-​friendly. Great place to get your sushi fix.

This place is absolutely horrible for what you get. Price range is low (probably why everyone is packed in there like sardines. The fish quality is passable at best (not fresh) and the service is HORRIBLE. Today i went for lunch and was waiting 35 min for my order that didnt come because THEY FORGOT ABOUT IT and they didn’t even offer me anything to make up for it and were quite rude about it. They also didn’t tend to my friend or offer any water this place is the single worst sushi place in yorkville. Spend your hard earned dollars on something worth it.

Simply put, this is the best sushi spot in TO. In the heart of Yorkville, where you’d expect to pay top dollar for food, Sushi Inn remains an oasis for quality at an affordable price. Don’t expect a feng shui interior with dimmed lights and Japanese blinds, I’ve eaten at those spots too and the sushi doesn’t compare. Try the Hotate Set or any one of their hand rolls, the spicy tuna hand roll is a personal fave.

Visiting Toronto means trying new and interesting food! Figured we’d give sushi a try while we’re here. We were in the neighborhood and getting hungry so we stopped here for lunch. Extremely inexpensive! Atmosphere isn’t bad, either. It was busy but comfortable.
I ordered the Combo I (spring roll, chicken teriyaki, rice, and some fried stuff). It comes with Miso soup which is delicious. As well as a side of little salmon and cucumber rolls (which were good, too!) My meal was quite large but it was mostly deep fried things, like sweet potato slice (?) and zucchini slice (?) and a few other things I couldn’t quite figure out but was too hesitant to try. I was mostly excited about the chicken teriyaki and spring roll. My spring roll was about an inch long and a half inch wide, extremely tiny!!! And the chicken tasted like very poor quality –perhaps the rubbery thigh meat? I couldn’t bring myself to eat more than a couple bites of the mysterious deep fried items.
It was a nice stop for where we were at the time but next time we will plan better and find a better sushi joint along the way!

Went for lunch with my friend here, sushi were OK. I have had better in Toronto and cheaper too. Did not like service and waiters attitude. They were not welcoming at all. Not going back here for sure.

Convenient downtown location with plenty of shopping nearby. Very traditional Chinese owned and operated Japanese restaurant.
Fresh and good quality food that won’t break the bank account.

I came here with my friends for lunch a few weeks ago and was kinda let down. It was a bit pricey for what they offer and it didn’t feel worth it. I ordered the katsudon which is basically pork cutlets over rice and it was average at best. The katsu was soggy and paired with the rice it didn’t taste like anything special. I don’t recommend this place for any of the donburis.

Food is passable (the chicken age isn’t too bad, nor is the avocado and yam maki), though (like many have said) service could be a bit friendlier. I had ordered a small bottle of sparkling water while my husband ordered Coke. Guess whose drink didn’t come? The restaurant makes up for its price points, which is dirt cheap by Yorkville standards, as well as the chicken age.

I didn’t mind this place. Overall it’s a standard sushi joint in a pretty snooty area so when people say it’s ‘cheap’, I would say it’s regular priced in a much higher-​priced area.
The sushi was good, I got the Gold Sashimi Plate and while it came with a bowl of rice and Miso Soup, I found it has WAY too much grated carrot under it, made the plate look much bigger than it actually was. The Sushi plates looked much better.
Service was ⁵⁰⁄₅₀. When I first walked in I didn’t feel overly welcomed. We had a party of Seven which we made a reservation for but still had to wait 15 minutes to be sat down. There weren’t any smiles or welcomes when we arrived and delivering/​collecting dishes was done usually quite abruptly and sometimes awkwardly.
I would say overall that I can get the same sushi and better service elsewhere so I wouldn’t go out of my way to go back. The only highlight was the ‘Sushi Pizza’. That was delicious

Fast service, delicious sushi. Servers are efficient, not really super friendly but we didn’t really mind much. They also deliver. My favourite sushi place in the city.

This is a great place to go if you need to save money but fill your stomach quickly. It always seems to be jammed full of budget travellers and students who want food court quality sushi in a sit down restaurant for less than $ 10.
Honestly, a couple of the underground sushi takeaway places have fresher/​tastier fish and because it’s takeaway you don’t have to deal with the terrible attitude of the servers

Not very spacious, and the food not very exciting
Well I guess because it is located in the Yorkville area

This restaurant was packed by 6:30 which is probably pretty normal for a restaurant situated on Cumberland street. I was greeted by the friendly manager (he is actually so nice) and was seated immediately as it was just me. I got to sit in front of the sushi bar where the sushi chefs slice sashimi and construct the nigiri sushi.
Strangely this restaurant is run by Chinese people and there are also a surprising number of staff for a restaurant so small. Like seriously there are like 2 people at the register for less than 15 tables and there are probably 3 or 4 staff assigned to each third of the restaurant hence it gets pretty loud and there’s a lot of traffic in the corridors due to the waiters Walking in and out. Most of them seem to be having quite a chill time.
Anyways after I was seated and I ordered I got a glass of cold water, this was really strange for a Japanese restaurant where I have become almost accustomed to receiving a cup of hot green tea. I had to actually ask for green tea to receive a cup and when I received my miso soup I didn’t get a spoon either so I just drank it from the bowl.
My bento also came with 12 of these tiny maki sushi rolls they were alright and contained cucumber and salmon. The miso soup was actually really good not too salty with a generous amount of kelp and tofu and was really hot which was great.
Next came my bento which was the gold box, I had it with salmon teriyaki and like some other reviewers I agree that the salmon teriyaki is solid. Crisp on the outside but still moist on the inside and coated with a good amount of teriyaki sauce.
The salad came with a really creamy mayonnaise-​like dressing which I wouldn’t call unpleasant but I definitely prefer the sesame based sauces or the refreshing vinegary sauces that most Japanese restaurant serve their salad with
There was also tempura which featured a shrimp some eggplant and pumpkin as well as a strange tempura imitation crab stick. They were all pretty decent, the crab stick was weird.
Easily the worst part of the meal were he 2 spring rolls. These are horrible, almost no filling and almost entirely just a small cylinder of the pastry. Couldn’t bring myself to finish the second one despite each one being only the length of a finger.
Overall the food is pretty okay, though for the price of 15 dollars you could probably get better food. This restaurant is packed with servers but don’t let that fool you you won’t be getting shatteringly good service. The manager is nice though, he’s efficient and works harder than all his workers which is a good sign.

I have only been here once, yet they have made a memorable impression. One of the best sushi places in the city. Price is reasonable for a restaurant that is in Yorkville.
I remember there was line-​up during lunch, and the food was very good.
Would love to go back there again.

Not so bad. Felt like it taste like a lot of other sushi places. Was expecting to taste better since its in the yorkville location.
I had assorted sashimi boat. Miso soup. Seaweed salad. Cucumber sushi rolls. Tempura dry squid.

Been there twice and it sucks. Won’t be getting anymore of my «you get what you pay for» money.
You shouldn’t expect much from this place because it’s so cheap, and they deliver on that because the food is pretty gross and their service is shoddy. And to the hostess at the front who still made me wait AFTER I had ordered ahead. Then proceeded to serve two business men, seat a party of three, and then one, and ALMOST get to seating a party of three BEFORE YOU GAVE ME MY FOOD THAT WAS ACTUALLY SITTING THERE THE WHOLE TIME… How’d that none existent tip taste after making change for ONE of my hundred dollar bills that I had on me, lmao. Yup, that’s how you walk it out!
Horrible service. They only cater to «Yorkville types». Which is hilarious because this place is definitely NOT CLASSY. Slimy fish for sushi, gross teriyaki sauce slathered over bad quality chicken, and greasy tempura. Second time I threw half of the lunch «special» out. I’ve had good sushi, this ain’t it.

Price is reasonable, portions are good and food came fast. Had lunch here and had the sushi inn special. Was 11 bucks for 3 each of salmon and cucumber maki, chicken teriyaki, soup, rice, tempura (shrimp, eggplant, crab, sweet potato and 1 spring roll), salad and dumplings.
They premake the maki, but it is fresh because the table turnover is so high. Dont expect blow out of your mind food, but good for a working lunch. Was im and out in under 30min.
Ive eaten here many times over the past 3 years and food has always been consistent. I gave it a 4 because when i consider price, location, service, esthetic looks, quality and quantity, it is great.

Sushi Inn is my go to place when I can’t decide what I want to eat or even when I can decide on what to eat but choose Sushi Inn instead anyways.
There is almost never a wait. The staff is nice enough but don’t expect any added chatter unless of course you engage the waitress. On some occasions I’ve struck up conversations with my waitress which led to extra candies in the end with my cheque (woohoo!) and other times when I just wanted to enjoy my meal quietly (although its never really quiet there) they would leave me be.
The food is good. I wouldn’t say fantastic nor the freshest but its good in the sense that the high traffic means the turnover of sea creatures is quick. I have been here once or twice when the food was not up to par but about 80% of the time I’ve visited; I have left satisfied. The price point is fantastic for Yorkville. I live in the area so in a year I frequent this restaurant more than a dozen time.
The gindara is probably what brings me back to this specific restaurant. Everything else on the menu is standard dishes I can find at other sushi restaurants. My order has always arrived quickly and in the past 4 years they have never messed up my order no matter how many alterations I’ve made.
Love this place. Would definitely recommend but probably not for large parties as you will have to squeeze in.

I just love this place. While the service is nothing to write home about, the food speaks for itself. Servers seem grumpy most of the time, but are always quick and accurate with orders.
It isn’t 5 star sushi by any means, but for the price, you get great value and freshness. I often get the bento boxes which have some kind of teriyaki, sashimi, maki roll, and the standard soup and salad for about $ 13. The portion is great and you can’t beat that price in Yorkville.
