Ordered online due to the high rating in Skip.. food was not good. The sushi fell apart during delivery, and because it had been package with hot items, ithe seaweed was soggy. The rice was gelatinous. The chicken karaage was very dry. Beef udon was okay, nothing special. Disappointed.
Stopped by here for lunch, really tasty! I Loved the spicy salmon roll. Very lovely family owned spot
The only thing that was ok is food. The service is zero. They never brought the menu, we had to grab it from the other table. Nobody told us about cash specials , we were overcharged and thank God we caught it. The soy sauce tasted weird. We asked about container for to go and the girl brought the smallest container I have ever seen in my life. Then after we asked for a bigger one she brought the same thing. The debt machine was not working. Anyways our dinner turned into frustration. Not coming back..
We discover this amazing place today. We enjoyed the delicious food a lot. They were super friendly, and they accommodate my food allergies. We are coming back to enjoy more sushi!!! Thank you!!!
Had a #36 bento box, with beef short ribs, a roll, and a miso soup and mixed tempura. All cooked food was cooked well, tempura was crispy, roll was tight and fresh, salad was fresh, miso soup was salty without being overpowering... well balanced meal - and they kept my tea up full throughout the whole meal too! Would recommend eating in for the most crispy, hottest tempura. Price came to 19 bucks!
We love coming to our local neighborhood restaurant for a Japanese dinner. We started with hot sake and ordered kalbi ribs and Takoyaki for appetizer and the sushi set meal which came with Miso soup and salad. Wonderful service and always delicious. Great value too!
Great quality fish, very reasonable prices, huge variety on the menu and a lovely atmosphere to do dine in! Got the 3 rolls for $15 for myself and my boyfriend and we shared the veg dumplings which were all amazing. Have also gotten delivery takeout and the quality is just the same. We loved it, would give a higher score if I could!
Ordered delivery.. While the service was friendly and it got here fast it definitely was not worth the money we paid. Maki rolls had way too much rice - needs to be reduced by at least half. Sushi pizza is not prepared same way as in photo - it's chopped up, not in slices, I'm sure to reduce the amount of fish. Salmon in the teriyaki combo was sliced SO thin and came with a lot (almost too much) bean sprouts. Whoever owns this place - you're fooling nobody by skimping out. The fake reviews on here don't help, either. You have to wonder about a business that would do that... Definitely not spending another dime here again. People of Toronto know what good sushi is and this place doesn't come close.
Takeout order. Flora was fast, and friendly.. will definitely return for dine in Food : 5/5
Great spot with great food and great prices.
Soooo yummy
Fast and hot. My go to near home!
Its ok, great neighborhood sushi place.
Delicious food. Fast service. Every item was fresh and very tasty Food
I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. I tried the beef yaki udon and beef udon soup, and both dishes were incredibly delicious. Every bite was a delight! The portion sizes were generous, and the quality of the food definitely exceeded the price. I will absolutely be returning for another visit.
Sushi is delicious from here, fast service and tasted amazing! Also family-owned and very friendly service! Will definitely come back here again.
We had better sushi. This one the rice is the problem. So mushy. Not really enjoying it.
Always Fantadtic service, terrific food. Ive visited here 20 plus times and Never disappointed! Highly Recommended.
Love this place. I consider it as a hidden gem, located in East York & near downtown. Great place to dine in if you want to be at peace as the atmosphere sets off a calm asian fusion. The food is amazing, I personally love the cheese dumplings as it is filled & for dipping sauce, they serve Mango Sauce which balances the overall taste. The service is great, attentive & has hospitality.
Food is very fresh and the price is affordable. Definitely gonna come back
Amazing food. Service is always perfect, food is always fresh and tasty and the staff is very friendly and accommodating.We love it.
Amazing place - very underrated. Their cooked sushi was amazing.
Good sushi and apps. We order regularly. Consistent quality dragon rolls are good!
Smooth transaction and very accommodating staff. Kid-friendliness:
Honestly I have ditched all other places I ordered sushi from, for sushi bay! Great prices, and best chicken Ive ever had from a sushi place!
Hate to leave a negative review to a small business like this, but don t really feel like I have a choice. Just ordered a bunch of rolls from them and it s just bad. The fish tastes stale, borderline (?) fishy, the seaweed wrap is soggy and clearly old, and the rice is soggy, dense and clumpy. It s worse than supermarket sushi. The kicker is they don t even put fresh wasabi in, just little packets of wasabi and soy sauce. The staff seems super nice, and I want to see a small business do well, but honestly the worst sushi I ve ever had. Can t see myself going back.
Sushi Bay is our familys go-to place. Best sushi in the area! Everything from maki rolls to wontons to chicken wings - always delicious. Probably the best fried rice Ive had too. Highly recommend.
An amazing gem on coxwell Ave. The food is fantastic, and Chloe is the sweetest. I always make sure I eat here when Im in town.
Amazing food that never disappoints
This place is AMAZING - some of the best sushi I ve ever had. Great prices, amazing quality and great customer service. The sushi itself is fresh, is filling and tastes phenomenal. We had it twice in 4 days .and went back soon after
I called this place for reservation, lady over the phone yells at me and hangs up. I have eaten at sushi bay before, as I recall, food is eatable-ok, water is the best item in the menu probably...
I love it there! Their bento box is super worth the price and the ppl are super nice!
Very tasty food and reasonable :)
This is our go to place for Japanese food. We order frequently. Good selection, very tasty and reasonably priced. Udon soup best we have found, broth very tasty. Still lots to try.
Great food, great prices. I have only gotten take out, and only once, but I was really happy with it.
I made a order and didn t get it I waited over 1 hr
Been getting take out from here for a long time now, always tasty, very affordable pricing and nice people :)
Love this place. My wife and I have ordered takeout often since we moved to the neighbourhood a few years ago. Great taste, good quantity for the price, fast and courteous service, very consistent order accuracy and quality.
Sushi, sushimi and rolls we have ordered from here have been excellent. Only issue was the Bento box Salmon was on the cold side. Overall quality is great.
Ordered the party tray along with miso soup and veg dumplings. Every item tasted awesome! Food was fresh, price was right and service (delivery) was prompt. Will order again!
Ordered pickup on a Friday night. They were swamped. Teriyaki chicken was undercooked and guaranteed the tuna and salmon rolls were rolled either early in the day or the night before. Lacked taste and texture. My kids refuse to eat there again.
Awesome
This is a wonderful spot to stop for a nice lunch or dinner. Loved all the leafy plants for decor. Great vibe, cosy spot for some tasty sushi.
The restaurant was quiet when we went in, the staff was very quick and polite and the food was amazing!!
It is good on a regular basis, however they are rude once they become busy and cant handle the amount of annoying teenagers coming for lunch. And funny enough they dont even try to tell them off. Their main focus is delivery/take out. Then dont have a sit down restaurant if you are rude to your neighbourhood customers. I dont think I can order from here again. Hence the low rating. Customer service MATTERS.
Love me some Sushi Bay, its been steady in our rotation for years. Food and service is fantastic and the price is reasonable.
very please with their lunch specials, highly recommend!
Food is not fresh and had a distinct, unpleasant odour as soon as I opened the container. Everything just tasted stale. I was starving but some of it had to go in the garbage. I wanted to give them another shot from previous visits but they always disappoint. Quality has to improve
They are over changed not even apologize.i wont go back
ordered spicy salmon and spicy tuna, neither were spicy at all , wondering if they gave me the wrong thing. I wish it came with spicy mayo, overall the sushi is okay, id go back. ordered on uber eats and it came in 20 mins super fast.
Great sushi and tempura. Have taken out food many times. Love the beef ribs. I should mention that once I found their ribs too chewy. I called and complained and they said theyd take it off on my next order. Sure enough they kept a record of the problem and adjusted my next bill accordingly.
Ordered pork dumplings and the bogo special crab tempura roll . Pork dumplings - 1/10 ( hard shell and very dry and stale meat ) . The sushi tempura crab roll was good but I only received 1 so idk why I didn t get the bogo offer either
Yummy affordable sushi with excellent service!
I have visited Sushi Bay a couple of times, and without a shred of doubt I can confirm that the people praising this restaurant have the same kind of ignorance that this business exploits to make money. The sushi at this place is absolutely sub-par, it is never made with truly fresh fish, and the rice is always lacking its bounce. If your order involves meat, whether chicken, pork, or beef, it will always be overcooked, completely dry. The ramen broth has absolutely no flavour, it is just salt water. The egg they gave with the ramen was overcooked, and today I genuinely found a HAIR in my ramen, I am not kidding.. If anyone from this restaurant is reading this, please, please, please improve the quality of the fish, the hygiene practices in the kitchen, and please hire a chef that loves their craft!! This is the closest japanese restaurant to my home, and it really makes me sad that its so low quality. If anyone is considering buying sushi from this place, please reconsider and buy sushi from the OneZo near this place, if you are planning on eating other japanese dishes, please try a different place downtown. The only compliment I can give to this place is that the atmosphere is relaxing, and the staff(NOT the kitchen staff, mind you) are very efficient.
This place is really good but make sure to call in your order. I ordered while I was outside and it took almost 25 minutes to be ready.
Our main restaurant to order sushi and chicken teriyaki bento box! Love my yam rolls. Always great food! Definitely recommend.
Good value and maki combo selection. WAY TOO MUCH RICE. Had to pluck a layer of rice off of each piece of maki in order to eat it.
This is the best local sushi place, for sure. Only problem is that they use TOO MUCH RICE on the rolls. When I order, I always ask them to use less rice but they should just go ahead and do that for everyone. It s a common complaint, judging by other reviews. Still, really good sushi!
Love it!!
Delicious foods. Support local business.
My last few experiences here have been disappointing, I m sorry to say. I do generally like this spot and encourage people to give it a try but speaking honestly of my last meals, they ve had hard rice, fish that s too warm and leaves a fishy aftertaste, the spicy rolls have had zero spice or sauce, and there was virtually no wasabi, and that which was there was not at all fresh. As others have said, the quantity of rice is too much. You can t argue with the prices but I have to say something about the consistency of the quality.
Recently improved - great sushi option!
Sushi Bay-You failed to live up to your 4.3 rating. No Soya Sauce, No Chopsticks, No Flavour or taste with the Sushi.
Pretty bland and not good sushi. We ordered a pretty reasonable variety of sushi last weekend and we were very disappointed. It was passable but nothing close to worth the prices they charge. It appears that alot of the reviews on this google page are botted aswell. Shame, i really wanted to like my local sushi joint but i cannot. I would recommend getting delivery or walking farther for takeout.
I used to really like this place and would get takeout here almost every week. The last two times I got food from here I noticed the menu prices had actually decreased (unusual). I didnt pay it any mind and just increased my tip to even it out as I was always happy with the food and I found the prices already very fair. Unfortunately the quality of food has also decreased with the price. The rolls now have less rice than before, some rolls have substituted different, less expensive types of fish in the recipe, some rolls have less fish than before and many rolls have removed certain sauces and ingredients from the recipe. As such Ill be looking for another restaurant in the area for my weekly sushi fix...
First time here. The service was subpar. Price was more expensive than advertised. Most importantly, fish was not fresh. I threw up after the meal. Gave them a big tip to support small business during pandemic, but will not come back. Update: diarrhea the next day lol yikes
I called ahead and asked if they had a patio for eating. They said yes. When I arrived, they said they wouldnt serve us on the patio - its just for sitting. Very upsetting.
Absolutely delicious and quick service.
sushi bay! The food, the staff, the speedy prep. It never disappoints. Great prices too. Highly recommend.
I order take out from here atleast once a week, shrimp tempura/dynamite rolls are the best!!!
Used to be our regular spot, but well be looking for a new restaurant. The last straw was an order we placed on Friday at 7:15pm, order showed up at 9:30pm. We had guests that we were ordering in for, and had to leave hungry as a result. We got stuck holding the bill and neither the restaurant or Skip the Dishes is taking any responsibility. We had been a long time customer and had referred many to Sushi Bay. I understand a busy friday night and difficulties in the pandemic and all that, but a heads up or phone call on what was a reasonable delivery time is the base expectation here.
Extraordinary family-run Japanese restaurant. Everything was superb: noodles, dumplings, tempura, sushi, maki, sashimi...amazing selection of cooked and raw ingredients. Delicious but unpretentious. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Easily the best Japanese meal I have ever had (albeit, Ive never been to Japan).
Nice small family run restaurant. Great deal on delicious sushi rolls. Highly recommended.
Dammmm......
Very good food and large portions
Great quality and quick service when you eat in the restaurant. The teriyaki chicken has a great sauce that tastes homemade. Decent portion size as well. Its a touch on the pricey side in comparison to the other neighbourhood sushi places, but given the quality its worth it.
I was craving Japanese last night and decided to order takeout from here. I would ve gave 5 stars but the chicken was hard, as though it was not fresh/recooked.
decent place. good food. service axlittle slow this night though
Japanese food made by the Chinese, reasonable
Ive eaten from this place a lot, and even though the food isnt great quality, I would order from there when I was too busy to cook some nights. The food is overpriced for the quality its been at. The eel is low quality with poor care, and shrimp tends to have a bad taste because of improper cleaning. Chicken tends to be overcooked but at least its not that rubbery junk from some other restaurants Ive been to. Ive read some awful stories about the owner, which made me stop buying from that place. If you want something on busy nights at home around your area, this place isnt terrible. Dont expect fresh, I can tell the difference. Really depends on your expectations and taste.
I order from this place all the time on SkipTheDishes, and the food is always of great quality and delicious. The service is timely and friendly, as well. I highly recommend this place!
Best Japanese restaurant for my option - Tasty food, great service and nice ambience - Really recommended
Good food.
Taste is good. Rolls are very big. Check for free adds on when you surpass a certain spend. Owner will not tell you about the free give away!! This is bad service because the website is not updated and when you see fliers at pickup it s too late because your order is already packed and ready.
I dont enjoy giving out 1 star reviews but this location deserves less than 1 star. The business owner is a despicable person and one who should not be running a restaurant. The service is very poor and very rude. I would only support this business if I hated myself.
I havent been inside, because Ive only had delivery since restaurants services were limited, but the food is great and so is the customer service. The first time I ordered they confirmed the tempura is vegan.
Mediocre at best. Ordered the California & spicy Salmon rolls. Both of them had larger than usual outer layers of rice. The rice wasnt fresh too and seemed to be overcooked. Rest of the ingredients did not appear to be very fresh.
Extremely underwhelming.
My partner and I were thoroughly displeased with the quality of the sushi + sashimi combo for two we had purchased for takeout. The rolls were sliced thickly, packed with too much rice, and shrimp used very sparingly. It was as though day old ingredients were used. The sashimi was fair with the only redeeming quality being the eel roll. Not worth the 27 dollars. There are other restaurants that offer better value and quality.
Great place, nice food and friendly people.
Great quality
The most bang for buck sushi in the city. U can go to a fancy place and pay 3x or 4x the money and this sushi is AS GOOD, of not better for a fraction of the cost. Especially the 3 roll special.....we are hooked.
The worst sushi I have ever had, tasteless and very poor representation.
Always a delight. The rice is done to perfection and you can see the love and attention paid to all very fresh ingediences. I have eaten at many so called famous sushi houses and always come back to Sushi Bay for the best in Toronto sushi!!!!
I used to divide my time between here and Sushi Gyoko. Both good for their own reasons. Since the pandemic started though, they seem to have taken 2 different approaches. Gyoko has upped their game to bring in all the people while Sushi Bay has, well, theres no polite way to say it. The rice is bland and overcooked, the fish portions are non-existent and its just not worth it. I get it that sacrifices need to be made, but when you need to wow people to survive, this is an all-around fail.
Delivery late, food cold, poor quality. Gross.
Always delicious with good portion sizes and great value with their meal specials.
Worth the try, but sushi was bland. Flavorless unless you have the dipping sauces, it was affordable although.
Sloppy looking shrimp tempura, should be cheaper for the quality
This is our go to local sushi place. Friendly staff, clean restaurant and the food is always fantastic.
Great cozy sushi place at OConnor. The sushi was fresh, and their boba tea was pretty good too. Its a good spot for small groups, plus the staff are friendly. Prices are similar to other sushi places
Freshness!
The food is great and the servers are nice
Love the sushi; the service is amazing.
Good was overall good. The more expensive Bento box didnt come with shrimp tempura and stir fried vegetables but the less expensive bentos did... Which was strange. Great customer service.
Great local place
Great local place and reasonable prices.
Whether we do deliver, take-out or dine-in weve always had a good meal from Sushi Bay. There are a lot of places in Toronto for sushi, but its hard to find a place thats reliably good and reasonably priced. This has become our regular sushi place, and the same for people weve recommended it to.
Excellent sushi varieties and amazing service. We are glad that you are in our neighborhood. Thank you
Very good ramen
Food was ok. Service was cold!
gr8 Food
Ive never had sushi that tastes so fantastic every single time! This sushi place never lets me down and the staff are lovely people!
High C/P value. Sushi, udon, are OK but Ramen was so so.
Very poor service and quality of food was worse.
A nice no frills japanese restaurant with more than just sushi on the menu. Plenty of eel options if youre intonthat sort of thing (I am and i was not disappointed)
Very affordable with great specials. They dont skimp on quality to get the family friendly price point. Both sushi and sashimi combos are great. The bentos are super high value if youre a big eater.
Just ordered dinner for 3 of us and they gave me the wrong order for one out of the 3 which was no problem. I ordered delivery and gave them the wrong order back and was expecting my stuff to be delivered back to me. 15 minutes later I receive a call saying I wasn t receiving an order back because they made a mistake and didn t add it to my order and said they would charge me full price and plus delivery to send it back. Would not let me speak to the manager to compensate my dinner at least at a discounted price or at least free delivery while everyone else ate. Unacceptable customer service for a someone that spends a lot of money there. The lady answering the phone may be nice but has no skill whatsoever dealing with an error SHE caused. Too bad the food is quite good, but the incompetence while either eating there or ordering out has been dreadful.
Great food. Great service. Great price. Weve tried the Sushi and a variety of appetizers and Bento boxes and everything is always fresh and flavourful. . .it has become our go-to Friday night Family food option.
A nice selection of veg options --- including yam! --- in this little restaurant with very nice service. Their inari sushi style was a first for me.
August 26, 2019 On vacation in Toronto we went to eat with a friend at the restaurant, we made the order and asked if we could move to the terrace to eat, in a bad way they told us that if we walked we had to pay, if any problem we paid. When they took us the sushi, it was in bags (delivery) and 1 container of soy sauce, we asked if they had more soy and in a bad way they passed us another, Bad attention and very bad sushi for an order of more than 50 dollars.
Very average and mediocre sushi. The ramen has meat that is dry and like scraps. Honestly looked like dried dog food, we couldnt eat it (and my husband ways everything).
Good in taste plating was decent.
Great selection of vegan/veggie rolls! Fast service. Cute little spot!
$1 extra for tea, you will have to ask for if you want it. $0.50 extra if you pay by card. miso soup and salad that come with your meal are not to my liking. Mains are good, reasonably priced, nice staff.

Small, quiet establishment, good food, fast service
Very good sushi always fresh and well presented. Nice staff. Large rolls. $14/3 classic rolls or $13/3 veg rolls is a great deal.
So we decided to try Sushi Bay and man were we disappointed! The avocado rolls were mostly rice with a tiny piece of avocado (nothing like what their pictures show!), the sashimi was the smallest I ve ever had, and the ginger was tough! But what bothered me the most was that the online site said 10% off for cash pick-up, but when we asked about this were told that s no longer in effect...so change your online site info then!!! Over all very disappointed and will never order from them again!
Great portions and good prices! Wonderful staff really enjoy eating here!!
Great place to grab a bite. Food was made fast and of good quality. Will be coming back.
Their sushi was really good quality at a very good price. Their staff was also very friendly.
This place has decent sushi. Its not over the top fantastic but definitely does the trick. They have consistently been kind when calling to order and always seem to get my order right the first time. The girl on the phone is nice and patient
Got delivery of sushi. It was good. The spicy butterfish sushi was good. The steak bento box was also good. Good solid takeout sushi. The price is ok.
Ive dined in this restaurant and also got delivery and I have to say the staff is friendly, the service is Fast and the food is delicious I recommend this place to all Sushi lovers
Just ordered delivery and didnt know the menu changed, we called and found out and just accepted out mistake. Then 10 minutes later there was a knock on the door and they gave us our proper order (and a new menu!) AMAZING!
second delivery order with chopstick missing, food quality is good, but eating it with bare hands sucks. The delivery took an hour and half while the place is located 8 km away from my home.
Good sushi , solid value - we found Sushi Bay to be very kid friendly which is great and the service was good.
My Go To... When Going Through East York Thank You, Sushi Bay!!!
Just enjoyed fabulous take out from Sushi Bay! Tempura veg, 2 styles or sushi and chicken karaage. Not greasy, very fresh and delicious. Sushi can be hit or miss sometimes, but this is a HIT! Plus free delivery.
To be honest, its not particularly delicious and I can just enjoy it on a regular basis.
Restaurant was clean, the aesthetic was lovely and the service was really friendly. The food was affordable, prepared really fast and tasted great !! Portion sizes were perfect too - could barely finish one plate. The server was lovely, and knew his food - he recommended I start with the handroll because it would only stay crispy for so long. Was our first time and we will definitely go again !!!
Its our go to Jap resto in the area. Food is consistently decent and so is the service.
Delivery was fast, food was delicious. Lots of food for the price, would recommend!
The wait staff desperately need training. Obvious customer needs - side plates, chopsticks, napkins had to be specifically requested. The food was good however. We often order take out from this restaurant, but the dine in experience is lacking.
Great sushi
Ive only know this place existed for about a month, and weve already been three times. The food has always been fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. One of the times the service wasnt great- a few things werent on the table, and we had to ask a couple times, but she was sweet and apologetic. We get the sushi & sashimi platter (comes with soup & salad) for $20. We both leave totally full. Great spot.
I HAVE HAD BETTER SUSHI FROM METRO......DONT GO!!!!
I eat here regularly. The food is great, the service is great and they re fast from delivery to table. A local gem for anyone in the Danforth area.
Thinly sliced and over priced sashimi. Super small bowl of soup and super small mochi serving. The latter smaller than picture. Service was friendly, but nothing exceptional. Average food, average experience.
Not bad for take out. The first time I had sushi here it wasnt the best experience, but Ive had sushi take out 2 more times here and it has been pretty fast and delicious.
Fast service
Love the sushi
Very nice always platter for 2
The salmin teriyaki was amazing and the staff are always nice.
Been here for couple of times,staff were all nice and food was all good,though salmon was a bit small.But over all,impressive!
Great place.
Fav sushi place, weve literally been to EVERY sushi restaurant in the city and no one has come close to Sushi Bay. Best tasting and best quality, the staff is always so friendly, and great prices. Also awesome vegetarian/vegan options. They never disappoint!
Okay food would give a second chance.
Ordered takeout twice; both times the bento boxes were disappointing. Tempura was greasy; chicken teriyaki was blend. Avocado shakes (both times) were tasteless.
Quick service, patient staff and most importantly, great food.
Really great food and price. Fast service, too!
Good good, good variety and quick turnaround time on takeout!
Love this place.
Excellent quality sushi.
First time there tonight, amazing and fresh sushi for fair prices. We ll be back.
The owner of this place is the most rude person Ive ever encountered! He yelled at me and my friend for making a remark on the seaweed salad. The roll and sashimi that I ordered were fine, but the seaweed salad had a funny taste to it, so I brought it to his attention, as one does when at any restaurant. He offered to give me half price discount, but then continued to yell over and over that I couldnt say that about the seaweed, how dare I say that?! I asked for him to please lower his tone which only enraged the guy even further as he kept yelling at me and then proceeded to remove the discount he had offered and I had to pay full price for a seaweed salad that had funny taste and I didnt finish. I paid for the meal because at this point I really didnt care and my review its not about whether I should get a discount or not, its about how poorly this man reacted to my comment, which btw was given in a very polite manner. Rude rude rude! Totally unnecessary behaviour from this business owner.
Great service. Quality fish. Was surprised at the food and service. Well definitely return.
