Where to Find the Best Sushi in Toronto
"This snug, wood-panelled room near city hall isn’t necessarily all about the splurge – you could throw back a couple of rolls and some gyoza and get out of there for under $30. But if you can, give chef Bruce Bu the opportunity to wow you with the $120 omakase: delicate gold leaf-topped nigiri, dishes like sake-butter clams and gently torched slabs of sesame-drizzled butterfish and white tuna will be your reward. 122 Elizabeth, 416-599-5557, japango.net"
"Affordable, accessible and totally delicious: Japango ticks an awful lot of boxes, which it's done since it first opened all the way back in 2004. Sixteen years later, and this stamp-sized restaurant near City Hall, with dark-wood-panelled counters and a buzzy atmosphere, is a sure-fire winner for lunch or dinner."
"There is the type of people will who eat supermarket sushi, and those people don't go to Japango. Japango is all about freshness and hustles at breakneck speed to get takeout orders in your belly as soon as possible. (Because Netflix waits for no one! Oh, wait, that's exactly what it does.)."
"Echo Sushi is another midtown spot for satisfying that sushi craving without spending a pretty penny. Sushi goes for around $5, sashimi around $6 for three pieces and the rolls average between $5-$10 – all of which are fresh and delicious. Go for the salmon sashimi, a fan favourite, or the salmon on fire roll – a unique spin on Japanese maki."
"An iPad ordering system makes mealtime seamless, and prices based on kids’ ages ($1.30 per year of age for dinner and $1.20 at lunch) make AYCE sushi and dim sum more affordable at this Chinatown spot."
"Baby Huey is the second incarnation of one of Toronto's favourite bars. After closing up shop, Baby Huey moved up the street to a new and improved location further north on Ossington."
"What makes this nightclub appealing to many is the fact that it manages to combine a classy and laid-back design perfectly well. The club is known for its timeless cocktails and the variety of foods offered via the “Food Dudes."
"King West has long been waiting for a spot that combines a laid back neighbourhood feel with a creative flair."
"Pizza Del Arte isn’t 100% vegan, but they have an extensive pizza menu. You can also make your own vegan pizzas with vegan cheese, too. Some options from the vegan menu: vegan cheeseburger, vegan Italian, vegan Mediterranean, vegan wild funghi, and many more."
"Here you have many vegan options to choose from such as breadwhiches, salads bowls, soups, baked sweets, smoothies, and juices. This healthy deli-style restaurant also allows you to build your own bowl. An added bonus of Urban Herbivore is that all their takeout materials (straws, cups, cutlery) are made out of corn, their bowls are made out of sugarcane, and their bags are made out of recycled content."
"If you are looking for fast food that is made of ingredients that you can pronounce, in general, you are out of luck. However, chef Stephen Gardner foresaw a need and in 2005 opened up Urban Herbivore in a small restaurant in Kensington. They now have two popular restaurants, including in the Eaton Centre."
"Urban Herbivore is a long time healthy vegan fast food spot in Kensington Market. A lot of their menu is gluten-free, and they also try their best to offer local and organic ingredients. They also try to use less waste and have initiatives to help the environment."
"Simon’s Wok is a vegetarian Chinese restaurant that’s vegan-friendly, just as long as you omit egg from some of the dishes. They’ve got lots of great mock meats and you’ll receive complimentary hot Jasmine tea. I’ve read some reviews that Simon’s Wok is cash-only, so be prepared for that just in case."
"Sample a taste of Armenian cuisine at this Middle Eastern restaurant. The dishes offered include meat skewers, lamb chops plate, Armenian Pizza and others- no wonder they’re one of our restaurants of the week!. They’re available for takeout and delivery on all platforms and on Ritual as well."
"Copper Branch is a chain of vegan restaurants that originated in Montreal. They’ve made their way down to Toronto, the GTA, and beyond. They’re 100% plant-based, they have many gluten-free options, and they use non-GMO and organic ingredients where it’s possible."
