Yonge Sushi

Loved the AYCE lunch today, it was fresh, quick and great tasting. The server was also very attentive and the prices were very reasonable. I think this is my new favorite sushi place. I especially enjoyed the miso soup, kalbi beef and the kamikaze rolls. Parking is always a bit challenging in the area, but street parking is available. I recommend this place to anyone with a major hunger, be prepared to try everything on the menu, so skip the breakfast, and for that matter also dinner, eat your heart out at lunch.

Amazing! Ordered delivery through JUST EAT and my order arrived within 15 minutes! Food was fresh and delicious. Will definitely order again as I live in the neighbourhood.

I’ve only had takeout from this restaurant, but I’ve always enjoyed it. Their vegetarian rolls are quite reasonably priced and even though rolls are somewhat sloppily made, they are still tasty, which is all I really care at the end of the day!

Randomly stumbled upon this AYCE joint just before going to a buddy’s xmas party. The restaurant is pretty small, can probably only seat about 10 – 12 tables.
The quality of the sashimi and sushi rolls was surprisingly good for a mid-​town sushi joint. My go to salmon sashimi however was not as fresh as other places, which I can generally tell by the colour of the salmon (not as orange!)
If I was in the area again and craving sushi, would still hit up this spot — good value for the money, and food was descent.

Tragic. They must have very recently upped the AYCE lunch to a much less exciting $ 15, which is quite a hike considering it was $ 12 just weeks ago. The food is still great — but not nearly as much of a deal as it was before. I mitigated my disappointment with deep-​fried scallops.

Stars: 3.5 *
About: Meeting up with friends in the area over lunch on the weekday means limited time. Normally, we only have about an hour or so to eat. In these cases, I prefer meeting over lunch at an AYCE. There are many reasons such as more variety of food, good price, and most of the time the service is quick. This time, it was at a small AYCE joint located on Yonge/​Lawrence called Yonge Sushi. The restaurant was much smaller in size when compared to other establishments in the area. The overall atmosphere of Yonge Sushi was pretty casual, and a good place for a quick and casual lunch.
Price: The price was very appealing as their lunch menu was a mere $ 11.99 per person.
Food: Yonge Sushi offers the standard sushi fare as most places. Now, they don’t offer anything out of the ordinary but the overall standard of the food items was solid. We started off with the usual starters; green salad, miso soup and edamame. My favorite cooked dishes were the scallops, beef ribs and chicken teriyaki. I was moreso pleasantly surprised that they served beef ribs on the lunch menu as it’s usually a dinner item. I definitely racked up on order of ribs. The sushi were decently made, and did not fall apart at all. Also, they didn’t overkill on the amount of rice used in their sushi; the fish to rice ratio was good. However, one thing that I did noticed about their nigri was that the fish was extremely thinly sliced. That they offered for lunch is value for money, and I’d definitely come back if I am ever in the area.

AYCE dinner is about $ 25 after tax which isn’t bad considering I normally skip lunch anyway PFF who needs that? LOL! Anyway, if you pay by cash, you get 10% discount, but don’t just think you get it right off the bat — kindly, let your waiter/​waitress know and they will make the adjustments on the bill.
I’ve dined here on several occasions but mostly for dinner and the ambiance is always average, however towards the end of the meal it generally gets more busier during peak hours of 8 and so on. The service is pretty attentive as they don’t try harassing you by constantly coming to your table making you feel rushed, so you can relax and enjoy your dinner/​time there.
I would definitely come by here again it’s a great place and the staff are always so friendly!

This is our AYCE sushi place. They have nice thick cuts of sashimi. And the fish to rice ratio is just right! This place will not fill you up with filler. Give it go you’ll go back.

I’ve been looking for Sushi AYCE resturaunts for a long time to try to check them out. Yonge Sushi was one of the sushi places on our list. Many Unilocalers claimed that there were a good deal and great food here however it was just ok for us. I ordered only few pieces of salmon sashimi, seaweed salad, avocado salad, miso soup, shrimp tempura, shrimp skewers, teriyaki salmon, chicken karaeke, deep fried oyster and eel on rice. The portion was small so it was good to order different dishes. Salmon sashimi came with big pieces in the beginning. However, it got smaller and smaller when I repeated the order 3 times. Each order was only 3 – 4 pieces but they were smaller than the first time. That was funny for me because we didn’t order very much.
The two good things here were the seaweed salad wasn’t salty. We really like it. Another thing was the waitresses look friendly though they didn’t mention that they didn’t have edamame when we ordered it 3 times! I was too lazy to ask for it so I just put it on the list 3 times but it never came.
The price was $ 21.99 for each. It’s pretty much the regular price for an AYCE dinner and there was nothing special here, at least for us! However, the lunch is much cheaper at $ 11.99. If you live close by, you can check it out for a lunch but make sure that you have enough time to wait for your food if you come at the busy time. The restaurant is also small so they can’t accommodate many large groups.
For me, I would rather pay for a nice meal somewhere else next time.

I went for Saturday AYCE lunch and it was a bad meal.
Rice was hot and mushy, so all the rolls and sushi tasted bad. Tempura batter was thick and not crispy, tempura sauce had bits of batter in it when it came to our table. We found the salads too salty. Overall, we regretted walking in here.

Here’s what we had and how we’d rate out of 10
Salmon sashimi: 10 (chef surprised us with 3 extra pieces on the house) — thick, fresh, large pieces of the highest quality
Salmon sushi: 8 — tasty, but the salmon was thin
Spring rolls: 9 — fresh hot and can’t beat the price (I think $ 3.5 for 4)
BBQ short ribs: 3 — I don’t know, we didn’t like it. Kindve a honey garlic taste and they weren’t fire grilled, it was like pan fried. Maybe other people would like it, but we didn’t
Miso soup: 8 — I’ve never had miso I didn’t like, so not sure if I’m generous in rating it, but I loved it
We’ve spent 3 weeks in Japan and know a thing or two about sushi. This place is excellent in an area that has competitive sushi offerings, highly recommend.

It’s really cheap, It’s way better than most places around town for sushi. The quantity you get for 20 $ is awesome. What struck me was the fish quality was quite decent for a low end sushi place. Try the beef short ribs they are really good. Not the most authentic place but for me the spicy red tuna sushi roll and the crab hand roll are quite good. I’ve been to places like Nobu and blowfish but for the price you get sushi for here it is real value for money.

Worst customer service last week. only one waitress works each shift so if it’s around late afternoon better not go there you might get half what you order and get attitude from your waitress. We went for all you can eat around 8 pm very disappointed. After 45 mins of waiting for our food, We were told to reorder the same food. After another 45 mins of waiting and still missing half our food we just gave up. such a waste of money… we were still hungry and frustrated when we left. Good price & tasty food… if you luck out and actually receive it.

The menu selection is fantastic! The food came out a little out of order, and the server seemed to hover around our table waiting for plates. We were one of three tables. But the food was delicious! The rools a little heavy, but warm and fresh!
We will deffinately go back

Okay, this sushi place has really great value. The owners are Chinese but their sushi and rolls are very tasty. They also give you a freebie spicy salmon, California or Dynamite roll when you spend over $ 40.

For all you can eat, this is quite up there! Everything came out hot and fresh. The sashimi was good quality and freshness. There was only one server for the whole restaurant when we were there… Definitely look like a handful to juggle but we thought she did great. Very friendly service. Will come back!!!

Great ayce sushi (then again I’m a fan of all of them soo…)
Unfortunately it’s not that authentic as I thought. When my Chinese parents were saying how they didn’t give out spoons, the waiters started speaking Chinese to us as well (which wasn’t to say that our service was diminished, if anything it probably made their lives easier by understanding what my parents wanted haha.)
Me and my family went on a weekend so it was 21.99 per person, however if you paid in cash they gave you 10% discount which was great.
There was a large selection of sushi and very nicely plated. I’ve also been to Aji Sai and Heart Sushi in Mississauga, but Yonge Sushi captured my heart (well at least my parents).
Their sashimi is fresh and the rolls are creative! Would definitely go again :)

Weekday lunch AYCE.
Quality of sushi was ok. Service was slow until another server came in to work. Food came out fast. Other tables got asked if the food was okay and good service, but we were never treated the same way for some reason… maybe the young demographic tips less than the businessmen in suits?
I’ll stick with my favourites in Markham for AYCE sushi, thanks.

Good deal for weekend lunch, 13.99 but options left a lot to be desired! Service was great!
Stand outs:
Snow roll (butter fish and shrimp tempura)
Beef ribs (big thin pieces)
Shrimp tempura
It’s a small restaurants bit they do take reservations so just give them a shout ahead of time. Also they have a great 10% discount if you pay cash but this is only for dinner.
Wish they had more sushi choices and creative rolls!
1 star for menu choices

Yonge Sushi is a small AYCE Japanese restaurant that I would never think of walking into if not for the decent Unilocal reviews. Like some other Chinese-​run sushi places, Yonge Sushi offers 10% discount if you are paying by cash. The price for the AYCE dinner is lower than average, at $ 21.99 per person, drinks not included. Each person is allowed to order 3 pieces of red tuna sashimi and a lobster roll. These specialty items are what makes Yonge Sushi stands out from the rest, and because the store is small, service was pleasantly attentive and everything we ordered actually arrived at our table (rare for AYCE places).
Some of my favourites:
1. Seafood Salad — Ok, this is essentially a «Green Salad» but with chopped sashimi laden on top, but it’s amazing. I order at least two of these each time I visit.
2. Egg Sashimi — It doesn’t taste floury like most I’ve tried, but instead it’s sweet and can almost pass as a dessert. My sweet tooth has me ordering this round after round.
4. Futo Maki — Rarely do AYCE joints get this roll right, and Yonge Sushi is the closest to right! They’ve got the pickled radish but just missing the pink minced meat.
5. Shrimp Tempura — Very fresh & crispy. They need to use a bigger bowl for the tempura sauce — that’s my only complaint.
6. Beef Short Ribs — Surprisingly tender and juicy!
I can certainly do without ordering the following:
1. Seafood Soup — Tasted like diluted soy sauce with a few pieces of ‘seafood’ which consists of imitation crab meat.
2. Other tempura items that isn’t shrimp — they didn’t taste fresh or crispy at all.
3. Seaweed Salad — Been in the fridge a little too long that it was dried up
4. Any noodle items — The soup base is almost identical to the seafood soup (see above) and the noodles were overcooked.
Parking can also be a pain since only street parking is available. They do take reservations, which I recommend if you don’t want to lose your table due to difficulties finding parking.
