I went today for a business lunch and I was very impressed with the selection and the specials. For $7.95, the 5 different lunch combos offered are really excellent value. My guest and I arrived at noon and got a table no problem. As the hour professed, the restaurant totally filled up but service was quite consistent even though there seemed to be only 1 waiter. Paying took a little longer... more

I enjoy this restaurant for many years. It is consistent and the sushi is quite large. Miso soup, salad and tea are standard if you eat in and so are cut up oranges as dessert.

It has what you what for a bento box and their lunch specials are really good value. Spicy salmon roll is really good, they give about 8 or so.

Love Daily Sushi. Great place.

They are in a building that has construction on the front so a bit hard to find right now.

Lunch specials are only $7.95 but really good. Also their Ramen in either pork or vegetable broth looks great.

I came to this restaurant a couple times with my co-workers for lunch. It's right beside the Carlton Cinemas and close to College Subway Station. So location wise it's pretty good.

The restaurant itself is pretty small. It gets filled fast during the lunch hour around noon. The lunch specials are decent. I've tried the salmon and chicken teriyaki bento boxes and both are quite flavorful. Their... more

This place is a little gem that we've been going to for six or seven years. There's nothing particularly magical about it, except for their unique combo boxes, but we go back for other reasons: quality, value, and consistency.

The prices are very cheap for what you get and for that part of town, and they never serve you anything mediocre. When you done in, the owner is extremely friendly and... more

This is a fair place for anyone going to the movies after next door. Pretty standard selection of sushi and fairly quick service which was much appreciated.

This place is a good little spot. There's a lot of sushi competition in this area, but I think these guys do a good job. Their sushi is good and they have great prices. They also have other Japanese dishes and pretty hefty bowls of soup.

The staff is very attentive and nice (in a very strange way... It's hard to explain unless you go there) they always give us complementary food or drinks,... more

This is my go to sushi place!

I order take out here quite frequently. Service is very fast and the sushi is great. I normally order the Hockey or Skydome combo and split it with my boyfriend. It's normally more than enough food for the both of us.

Those who decide to eat-in expect a complementary appetizer before your meal (miso soup, tempura, spring rolls, etc). The owner is almost always... more

Exceptionally rude service. First time here and will never return. Atmosphere was mediocre. Fortunately there are fantastic alternatives nearby.

I went to this restaurant with my son and husband. My son was looking at the menu and he took a couple pages out. No big deal!! The server ran over grabbed the menu out of my sons hand and made my son cry. So we just got up and walked out!!! Horrible service!!!!

I ordered their spring rolls on their 'daily special' menu that claimed to have 6 pieces but it turns out it is actually 3 pieces of spring rolls, just cut in half.. little deceiving if you ask me..

Quick hole in the wall. Great daily lunch specials. Good value dinners. Have be to boxes for those who do not favour sushi

I eat here about once a week. Soooo good. The server is sweet and so friendly. And while you wait for your food they always give you free edamame or some dumplings or something. Lunch portions are cheaper but smaller but way more than enough for me. Great place to bring a friend for a lunch.

My review is really personal here. I love this place. I eat here, and do take out from here incredibly often. The 'combo' boxes named after Canadian traditions, like 'Hockey Combo' are full meals with everything you need. More recently, I have been ordering the Nabeyaki and Sukiyaki Hot Pot meals, and they are just good, filling foods - especially in winter. I agree with previous posters that... more

The sushi here is quite good. I really enjoy the green dragon rolls and dynamite rolls. The miso soup is good as well. I've only had tuna from here once, it was horrible. Smelled super fishy and tasted funny...couldn't eat it. Everything else is A-OK though!

The food is mediocre at best. They forget to serve you tea, don't provide sauce for dumplings, and no trays for soy sauce for sushi until you remind them.

I can't speak highly enough about this place! Really good, healthfully prepared food (i.e., not greasy, etc. for their cooked menu) that is delicious and that you feel good about, and really big portions for such a low price! I get take-out from here (10% discount) multiple times a week because it's just as healthy as home cooking and perhaps even cheaper given that it saves me my valuable time!

I'm not sure why this place received such high reviews. My experience here was definitely not a pleasant one.

It was about a few weeks ago when I came here. My friend and I went to Loblaws to pick up a cake for a friend's birthday and it was raining. I was starving and didn't want to cook when I got home so I decided to just go to Daily Sushi since it was kind of crowded.

I ordered the... more

Overwhelming menu but great food

Stopped in for a quick weekend lunch. Hundreds of items on the menu made it a bit overwhelming, but the food was great! High quality sushi and light batter for tempura. Best sushi pizza I have ever had! And the prices were very reasonable. I'll be back next time I am in Toronto!

Sushi by the subway and by the cinema - a good thing

Catching a movie at The Carlton, or to the Subway - a quick visit for tasty sushi. And such nice servers. First time I've been to a sushi resto that brings you a 'little something' to eat after you've placed your order. Nothing fancy - for us it was some spring rolls. For another table, I saw some avocado rolls.... more

I'm not sure what's taken me so long to write a review for Daily Sushi. Its close to where I live and I go there once a week in the late evenings. I admit, I have a soft spot for Daily Sushi. First off, the male waiter (or owner??) who works in the evenings is very sweet and very professional. He always smiles. He doesn't write down your order, but he repeats your order item by item after you... more

Very good value! The location is pretty small, tucked behind a cinema. The lunch special bento boxes will cost you all of $7.50 and will still be very filling. That's comparable to getting takeout at a fast food place, so it's definitely worth it. The chicken teriyaki with vegetables was delicious. Service was fast. I wouldn't go here for anything but the lunch special, since the maki wasn't... more

Amazing sushi gem in downtown Toronto! If you dine-in, the owner often serves you a dish on the house and take out is ALWAYS hot, quick service, and 10% discount! Love the affordable lunch combos too. Their teriyakis are my favourite!

Service is quick and friendly (in a robotic, thoughtless kind of way) and they offered me tea while I waited for my food. I was encouraged. Prices are reasonable, and coupled with the 10% discount for takeout, it seemed quite affordable.

Then, when I actually took the food out of the bag to start eating, I was less than impressed. I ordered soup and sashimi. The tuna sashimi pieces were really... more

Good spot for a decent japanese meal

I ended up at this restaurant while staying at the Holiday Inn next door. As I was standing out front, I had asked a customer who was leaving the restaurant if they thought the food was good, and they recommended it. I was glad I gave it a try.
After ordering the Bay St sushi combo and a large sake,... more

The service was fast and friendly but the food was not very good quality. The prices are low, so I guess you get what you pay for. I would not recommend getting sashimi here, you are better off with the rolls that have no raw fish.

I'm sad to write this review. I've been a fan of Daily Sushi for years and have brought countless friends with me and turned them into fans too.

After more than 4 years of not being in the country - I returned with my girlfriend from another country and gave her rave reviews. I noticed the waiter who is always there had turned a little grumpy as opposed to his usual friendly nature from... more

Great value, excellent service

This is a small, unassuming restaurant. Prices are very good. Service was great. They gave me a free appetizer on the house. Sushi was good quality - not the best I've ever had but very decent, especially for the price.

unexpectedly nice sushi place right next to carlton cinema.
they're a bit hidden but totally worth the visit.
the atmosphere is relaxed, the style is modern urban but with the hint of japanese tradition.
the menu has a great variety to it and the prices again amazingly cheap for the downtown location. bento boxes range in prices from $8.50 to $12 and include soups and salads in the combo.
I... more

Snugly hidden away next to the Carlton Cinema, I didn't even know this was a restaurant instead thinking it was just a cheap take out noodle joint. Feeling in the mood for a ramen, I popped in only to find a really cute Japanese cafe with a sushi chef and seating for around 30 people. Gorgeous lanterns adorn the ceilings, and there's lots of little cat statues waving one little paw backwards... more

I was unimpressed with all aspects of my lunch here. The food was obviously not authentic or particularly fresh or innovative. The waiters were on what appeared to be a group lunch break when I entered. They were eating and talking and begrudgingly one of them got up to hand me a menu, as she was still chewing her food. She then asked me if I wanted something to drink, as she talked with her... more

A great $11 dinner!
I was craving sushi and was ready to head a few blocks towards downtown but on a whim I tried this place out. It was a good tasting sushi experience with some good hot wasabi!

I got the Toronto roll I think (avocado and eel) and it was a delight. The Quebec roll was not so great. I'll get different ones last time.

One thing to note is that you'll get a 10% discount if you... more

The prices are cheap for a reason, fish is not fresh and shrimp are so freezer burnt they are tough and flavourless.
Service is awful! I have been a few times hoping the previous bad meal/service was a fluke but it is the norm. Male waiter that is there all the time is rude. There are plenty of places in the neighbourhood with MUCH better food and service

When I first started going there the food was alright and felt well priced for the portion. But I've stopped going there now, I've found better Japanese food in the area.

I came here for dinner on my first day in Toronto and I thought it was okay. I had Beef Udon and I thought it was alright, but nothing spectacular. They gave me 3 pieces of a California Roll for appetizer, which was "on the house" and surprised me for a bit (as if they were clearing out leftover food to this good-looking asian guy eating by himself). Food came pretty quickly and the price was... more

This was me and my boyfriend's usual sushi place. The prices are great, the employees are so nice and so quick. They will switch out deep fried tofu for something else for me. The food is always good. They served us edemame while we waited when we ate in. They also offer 10% discount on cash take out. Love this place! sad I have moved :(

This used to be my go-to sushi place as it is cheap and quick. After a couple of bad experiences however, I decided to end my relationship with Daily Sushi and go after the other fish in the Toronto sea. Because I'm worth it.

The three different sets of lunch specials change depending on the day. I would usually get the salmon teriyaki bento, which was about average compared to other sushi... more

I ordered 6 of their House Special Rolls for delivery through just-eat.ca tonight.

All the rolls were quite good, very big pieces. The scallops in the Quebec Roll were quite big.

My only complain is that expected delivery time stated on just-eat.ca was 45 min and I got my food about 1 hour later. I understand that traffic could be an issue on Saturday evening, but maybe they could have... more

I dig it. It's not my favourite, but their sushi is solid and I would definitely come back if I were in the neighbourhood.

It's better than most (not THE best) sushi places in the neighbourhood. I order a sushi plate for two (I forgot what it's called) and it's HUMONGOUS. I had enough sushi to last for two weeks. It's so plenty that I had to walk down to Yoyo Yogurt (see my other review) to wash it down. Yes people, it's an excuse for ice cream.

It's rather big place than what it looks like - a lot of seats and... more

I have to give them points for atmosphere. Everything's what you'd expect from a nice little sushi place, from the uniform/outfits of the staff to Japanese wall hangings and very attentive welcomes. They poured me a tea as I sat down to look through a menu to pick out some things for takeout, and then they started conversing in Mandarin...

Going through the menu choices, I noticed that very,... more

I had the Masa combo which included some sushi, sashimi, salmon teriyaki, chicken skewers, soup, salad, and tempura and I've got to say this place is completely average. Sashimi slices were tiny. The food to price ratio isn't as good as other nearby sushi spots as well.

For never having Japanese food before, I'm absolutely and utterly HOOKED on this place. Doesn't hurt that my building is attached to it and that pick-up is ready in 10 minutes from the time you order.

For a noob, the menu is daunting at best. But you cannot go wrong with the hockey combo! For $9.99 for the dinner size, the sheer amount of food you get is fantastic! It's not heavy fare either... more

Went there for lunch and had the sushi lunch special. Reasonable value at $7.50 with spicy Salmon Skin Maki (6 pcs) and 3 pieces assorted Nigiri Sushi composed of Red Tuna, Salmon and Snapper with Miso Soup and Salad included.

I sat at the sushi bar and also ordered an extra Butter Fish (Albacore Tuna), Yellow Tail Tuna and Eel sushi. Individually these sushi range from $1.75 to $2 per piece.
... more

Laziness on my part (I live too close to this restaurant) and fabulous take-out prices draw me to this restaurant at least once a week. Ordering $4 worth of appetizers for take-out? "see you in 10 minutes!" Ordering $85 worth of party trays? "see you in 10 minutes!" Services are welcoming and quick, making it undeniably an easy choice whenever I need fish.

Casual dining foods have consistent... more

Got take-out sushi from here yesterday and I loved! It turns out a lazy bum has to wait 45 minutes for delivery and a hungry bum has to wait 10 minutes for pick up. My friend and I were ravenous AND feeling lazy but hunger won out. We went for the pick up.

Sure enough, about 15 minutes after calling, we walk right in, are greeted immediately and given our food. They totally get that we want to... more

It's not like one of those traditionally-decorated sushi places, or even modern-looking. It's kind of cheap-looking, to be honest.

At first I was a bit discouraged by the appearance and the big TV on the wall (world cup match? That looks bad...). But the prices on the menu were attractive and a friend of mine recommended the place, so, why not give it a try?

I was really surprised by the... more

I ordered lunch takeout from here after dining at its fabu sister restaurant, Katsu. I went with the Ichiban Maki set (6 pcs tempura shrimp tobiko rolls, 6 pcs spicy tuna rolls, 6 pcs L.A. Rolls--salmon, crab, shrimp, tobiko, cucumber). The lady on the phone took my order and let me know that it would only be 10 min. I got there in 11 min (timed it!) and sure enough, my order was ready. As I... more

Take this review with a grain of salt as I'm not a sushi expert.

The good news is that the service is prompt and friendly, and the decor feels authentically inauthentic (I feel like I'm in Lost in Translation, but without the Suntory and ScarJo) in a way that I totally love.

The bad news is that the rolls were a little dissapointing. The rice was insufficiently seasoned for my taste and in... more

4 Americans on a business trip for the week, we wanted to grab some sushi one night in Toronto and a friend had ordered delivery from here before and was pleased. We went in for dinner and ordered several different sushi rolls and a couple of appetizers. One of the appetizers was rolled up beef and cilantro which was fantastic. Another app was not memorable. I had a miso soup that was decent.... more

Very fast service, friendly staff, great sushi. I'm not sure this is the most authentically Japanese food...it's the sort you'd get at most North American sushi restos...but it's very nicely done. Nabe Udon soup is terrific. Worst thing for me is, the men's room is terribly poorly lit. I go here every couple of weeks and always leave happy. Oh, and they always slide a complimentary appetizer... more
