Gojima Restaurant in Etobicoke

Best place in Etobicoke for sushi!

the food is very delicious and the service is the best, definitely recommend

BEST service and food ever!

Excellent restaurant with the best customer service.

Overall, not the best experience. Went on a Friday for dinner and the restaurant was empty. The food quality was sub par. The aburi was just bad, it was just a regular Maki roll. I couldnt tell what was a regular/special or aburi. We got 5 rolls, so we really tried to give it a shot. The salad we get at the beginning was not fresh. They ran out of a lot of the items we wanted dispite no one being there. The staff was nice, but service was still bad considering we kept having to remind them for the basics.

Food was very disappointing considering all the reviews. We ordered a wide variety of sushi and sadly they were out of some of the dishes we wanted. We had the golden dragon, Islington roll 2 aburi rolls and spider roll . The crab in the spider roll was burnt. And overall the quality is not up to my standards.

Great taste and very welcoming overall ! Charlie was amazingly sweet and generous !

Amazing food and service. This spot is a community gem.

The waitstaff here goes above and beyond with their fun and thoughtful natures

Authentic, fresh, delicious Japanese and Korean food that genuinely blow me away. If they offer you anything for free/daily special, take it ... they are excellent for off menu items too. 10/10

Nicest Staff ever!

Best I sushi in Toronto. And Charlie, one of the owners is an amazing person.

I love the food here! Charlie is so friendly and always takes good care of us. Also spoils us with lots of freebies like cut oranges for dessert.

Wow! Charlie is so great. What a sweet man who genuinely loves his customers and wants to leave them happy :) We dined in and had the bibimbap so it was warm with beef. Charlie also helped me mix it all up properly haha so nice. Definitely will be back. Great experience. 5 out of 5 for sure!

Really great food and friendly service!

Islington aburi roll, soft shell crab roll and sashimi.

Our favourite sushi restaurant in the west end. Food always fresh and well prepared. Service very friendly and good

Food was fresh. The place is small but service was good. Not a fan of the green dragon rolls.

Amazing service and the people are super nice. Sushi is great. Recommend all to come

Weve ordered here a few times, and decided to dine in. The service was incredible and the food was delicious as always. We ordered Maki combo A and B and edamame. The fresh soup was great as well. Strongly recommend and we are self proclaimed sushi experts.

Excellent service, Good food, ready in a few minutes, faire price. I would def recommand.

Best sushi place ever.

Their sushi is so fresh!

Everyone who says the fish isnt fresh or the rice is bad is LYING and I will personally beat them up for lying. Their food is amazing 10/10 please go eat there

Great food combined with great service, well definitely be back !!

Fast and quick service. Nice bento box deals good for lunch :)

Amazing lunch menu! All good prices and been around for years! Good customer service. Quality salmon!

The best service and incredibly delicious food. My wife and I come here on a regular basis.

Flavourful and great service

The food is great and service is so friendly and kind. We ordered salmon poke bowls to go and while waiting we had tea and noodle soup that was so delicious. Just hit the spot. We enjoyed very much our poke bowls that came with small salad and miso soup.

Had the Korean Fried Chicken, Islington Roll, and Eel Donburi. Everything was phenomenal and the service was some of the best I ve experienced in the city. This will be my go to spot from now on!

Very good customer service, gave complimentary miso soup and were generally helpful

I went today for lunch, and Charlie is a gem. Such a precious little spot, all the food was amazing. I had the lunch special and was so much food and tasty! The katsu was thin and well breaded. The complementary side kimchi was to die for, I could taste the quality gochugaru. The whole experience was amazing. Don t go in a rush, is a place to take your time and eat your meal in a happy place and enjoy with friends.

Love visiting Gojima . Their sushi, customer service and atmosphere is top notch. It s the oldest and best sushi restaurant in Etobicoke for a reason. Thanks Charlie !

Pretty solid average sushi experience, service was fast and the fish was fresh. Got a complimentary noodle dish (don t know the name) so that was pleasant. Run of the mill, nothing terrible nothing outstanding. Would come again if in the area.

Can t say it was good or bad.. i was surprised my sushi roll tasted more like spinach than crab-based. My other order was replaced with another which I was fine with. At the end, I received no bill. Just a total to tap which I guess included the owner tipping himself. So I m not quite sure how much I paid for each item in the end but cost a bit more than I had in mind.

Good food for the price, good portions. Will come again.

We have been a customer over the years and the food continues to be fresh and amazing! Charlie is an incredible individual, with over the top service for all, he is the perfect example of how customer service should be. We love Gojima!! Vegetarian options: Many options available or made at request Dietary restrictions: Just ask. They will help you with choices Parking: Parking everywhere. Kid-friendliness: Charlie always remember our daughter name! They cater to whatever food needs of a child

Offered me tea while i waited for takeout. nobody does that anymore.

Restaurant is a la carte only however both fish and food quality were ayce level. Overall not worth the price unless youre dining for convenience. Owners were friendly and service was great

I loved the appetizers and main course. Shushi is a must try. Staff is really nice. Restaurant is clean and tidy. A gem of a Japanese restaurant. Recommended dishes Udon Noodle Soup

Just tried this place today. It was close by to where I was working and I would go here again. The food was good, filling and well recommended by the waiter. Why 5 stars, well because of the kind act from the waiter/cashier. He offer me an apron so that my white clothes don t get dirty.The food service was efficient and the restaurant is definitely a place to choose from for clean atmosphere. The workers are Korean, but the sushi chefs are very talented. My bento box was very satisfying. The waiter also offer bon bon (lollipop) as well. Thank you so much and I will definitely stop by again. Kid-friendliness: The waiter is observant and understanding of your selection and choices. Very kind and generous.

I have been going to this restaurant for 20 years because I work in the area. I have NEVER been disapointed. Food is delicious EVERY single time. I have visited other Japanese restaurants in Toronto and GTA but none of them can compare to Gojima. I hope they stay open for another 20 years.

Very delicious and fresh sushi! Their bento boxes are proportionately excellent. Service was on point as well. Will definitely go back.

The service was amazing and the food was delicious!

Great food and even better service!! Would definitely recommend.

Best Sushi in the City! Incredibly delicious, the green dragon rolls are a must try! When you walk into Gojima there is a welcoming atmosphere, where you are always treated like family.

Excellent service, so fresh!!

I only recently started going here and Ive been back 3 times. The latest one was for my birthday with a group of friends and the staffs service was beyond phenomenal that my friends still raved about their experience after leaving the restaurant. We ordered sake for 3 people and 1 person ordered beer, and the staff put a bit of extra sake in his cup and made a sake bomb. We also got the Korean fried chicken as a complementary dish, and lots of cut up oranges for dessert. The KFC was my friends favourite meal of the night. My friend told the staff it was my birthday and he brought out a little sparkler. When I was here the previous two times, the staff gave us aprons so we wouldnt stain our clothes.

Excellent hidden gem in Etobicoke. Extremely fresh sashimi.

Impeccable service and really really good food. The server is delightful and takes care of everything perfectly. The food comes with a soup and a fruit to sweeten the meal and is all free. Unheard of in todays world.

Absolutely my favourite sushi place in Etobicoke! Excellent food and service. Im there at least twice a month and it never disappoints me.

Gojima is one of the best quality sushi places in Canada.. a secret gem of gems....

Very impressed w service provided, we ordered 2 lunch special n the chicken karage appetizer....very good quality n portion. Server or owner was very generous w complimentary items...and detailed in service. It was our 1st time trying this restaurant. Thank you n we certainly will be back again in the future.

Excellent food and service!

Great sushi . Server is amazing super nice guy . The KFC was also really good highly recommend. Always a good time at Gojima

Amazing food! The owner gave us complimentary food. Perfect place to dine with a group of friends.

Parking: There is a Green P behind it. Food

Love the food and the staff. Everything is so good here.

delicious kind amazing clean fresh satisfied

Great food and excellent customer service.

Amazing food along with terrific service highly recommended

Man oh man this sushi was incredible. The older gentleman chefs are masters of their craft. Charlie the owner is extremely dedicated to ensure your dinning experience is a great one with the little details. The little details matter! Overall a great experience wish it was open on Sundays because I would go everyday! Thank you Gojima

Some friends recommended this restaurant so I tried it and it was worth it. I ordered the Vegeteble tempura as a main dish and it came with 1 miso soup, 1 noodle soup, salade and rice. It was tasty and the portions went along the pricing. I had more than 10 pieces of vegetables. The waiter was the best! He was very caring even though we did not communicate much. I wanted to leave more tips but he refused even though I insisted! He was very nice! I recommend this restaurant, the energy is good.

Awesome sushi! My wife and I have been going here for about 15 years. Our first date spot and favorite sushi for delivery. Never a disappointment! They treat you like gold. Very reasonable for the quality you get. Their sushi goes down like butter. Super high quality.

Ordered maki rolls for lunch take out. Friendly owner and generous portions. However, can t say it s the best quality. Sushi rice was too soft.

Been going here for over 20 years. Food quality has been steadily declining. Today was the first time ever visiting this restaurant that I couldnt finish the meal. Unappetizing.

Went to Gojima because of the great reviews. The reviews dont lie. Excellent sushi! Ordered the love boat and tuna tataki. Excellent quality. The love boat had both atlantic and pacific sockeye salmon. Delicious! Will definitely go back..

I tried it yesterday, super delicious sushi and excellent service

The most delicious sushi I have ever had. Unassuming location but the service and quality of the food is worth finding this spot.

Great service, they really go above and beyond. Great food!

Great lunch deals. Food was scrumptious and well worth the money. The space is honey and the service felt very warm and genuine.

Thank you to Charlie and the staff for always providing us an excellent experience when we visit. Their salmon poke bowls are one of our favourites in the GTA! Can t wait to continue to dine here and wishing Gojima all the best this upcoming year. Please eat/order from here if you have the chance. :)

Amazing food and friendly staff. Have been in Etobicoke over 20 years. A staple

Amazing food and presentation, and they sent some extra goodies (delivery). Highly recommend!

Great local place, very clean and friendly... family owned. Also good eats

Very delicious sushi and great value. Owner is so sweet, he gave us a free appetizer and hot sake to warm us up before we left. Well be back!

Best maki sushi in town! Love the Valentine and the Rockstar rolls

Excellent quality sushi for take-out, probably among the best outside of a fine dining sushi restaurant. A great vibe inside the restaurant and incredibly friendly service we even got some free dumplings for having to wait a bit on our order. A must try.

The Best sashimi/sushi in the west end Charlie & Paul are the best.

Wish they had more vegetarian options

So sad that I waited so long to try this place, because its AMAZING. Everything was perfect, wouldnt change a thing.

Excellent service! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area looking for sushi. Owner is super friendly and we were provided with a complimentary mango ice cream after our meal. 10/10 would recommend.

Best sushi in Etobicoke hands down.

Excellent Sushi

Gojima is the best. I always go there. It makes me smile. Thank you for the meals. Price are goood and great. It makes me smile.

The Rockstar roll is my favourite.

I was so refreshed after eating here. The staff are the original team from when they opened over 20years ago in this location in Etobicoke! I ordered the karaage, which was really well made and juicy. The Canadian roll, which comes with a special garlic-heavy soya mixture that was refreshing - the waiter even came by to explain the best way to eat the roll. I had another roll which I forget the name of, but it was deep fried well and not greasy at all. The side salad that had some chicken in it was a real surprise (it came as a complimentary item) and had an interesting kick to it. I hope to come again soon, and you should too!

Never had a bad experience here. Food is always fresh. Owner and staff are always attentive and kind.

The staff was so friendly, the sushi was delicious! The atmosphere felt so cozy -and made my get together with my friends so lovely! It had the best customer service. The staff gave my friends and I complementary salad and dumplings.

If I could give 6 stars, I would. Delicious food, reasonable prices, big portions. The service is exceptional, friendly, amazing attention to detail. I couldnt finish my udon soup (bowl is huge!), I asked it to be preped for take home. The server separated the noodles from liquid so that they wouldnt get soggy. He explained how long each can last in the fridge. My husband got extra rice in his take home portion so that it would be a full lunch serving next day. We tried sashimi, tempura shrimp, dumplings, teriyaki beef and sea food udon - every one was amazing. As an extra we were served some pieces of deep fried roll. This will be my go to Japanese place in Etobicoke

The food and service is very good. Charlie will take good care of you.

Delicious sushi owned by the sweetest gentlemen! Whenever the restaurant gets too busy and hes unable to pick up the phone, he ends up calling you back! This is my familys go to local sushi spot in the area. Highly recommend

Was busy on a Monday night. Food was generous. Bento boxes had a lot of variety. We saw several sushi boats that looked great as were eating our meals. Friendly staff that gave us some snacks because we were waiting a little. Would not hesitate to come back. Parking: Street or Green P lot behind restaurant

Great food and amazing service. Would return anytime.

Great place for Japanese cuisine. Good selection of tempura and chicken Teriyaki. Excellent service.

I m flawed by their customer service and the delicious food. Tried the tempura and the vegetable roll- both tasted excellent! Mainly though, we were filled with warmth when we left this restaurant because their customer service is beyond anything I ve seen in Toronto. So thoughtful in every step- whether it was personally putting the apron on me since I was wearing white or giving us extra candies at the end, or packing a side of noodles for the to-go box- absolutely heartwarming. Hope every restaurant in GTA can learn from them and treat customers so graciously.

I was amazed by the owner of the restaurant by how nice, thoughtful and friendly he was to our family, especially my 10 months old daughter. We sat at the long table where we can see the chefs work therefore my daughters head was about the tables high ( we insisted to be seated there). The owner came and put some folded napkins and tape them on the table edge just about my daughters head to make sure even she bang her head to the table, it wouldnt hurt her. The food is absolutely delicious.

Best sushi in town and Charlie is the best!

Such an incredible experience. The food was delicious, some of the best food I ve had in my life. I m a sushi connoisseur and I ve tried all different places, and this is the best I ve had. I tried the Islington roll and chicken katsu and it was amazing! The service is also great, 10/10 experience. Definitely coming back.

The best sushi restaurant in Toronto

Excellent service! Delicious food! Very fresh and tasty. I would highly recommend.

One of the best sushi places in the city and Im blessed to live so close to them.

We love Charlie! Great service and food all around.

Always great

Ordered takeout here for the first time and it was fantastic. Fish was super fresh, sashimi and maki were fresh and the rolls were delicious.

*BEST SUSHI EXPERIENCE IN TORONTO* Thank you so much for a wonderful birthday dinner experience!! The sushi was fresh, delicious, and served in the gourmet method for a good price - with a bit of wasabi in between the sashimi and the rice! The rolls were a generous size, we ordered too much and they helped us pack it away for us! The server saw that I was wearing a fancy dress, since we came for dinner after an event, so he gave me an apron to cover my dress! He also gave us a complimentary appetizer, and had such cordial service all throughout the dinner! There were regulars next to us who made it an even warmer atmosphere, and we could see the sushi chef work their magic, so it was an overall lovely vibe! Looks like the reviews say that ordering based on the chef s special, instead of selecting our own plates, is a great recommendation, so I will likely try that next time! Hope to be back soon and we ll definitely tell our friends :) we got the mini boat and green dragon roll!

Its been a neighbourhood staple for as long as I can recall. Delicious sushi thats hard to beat in the area.

Just got a lunch takeout - maki lover B. It came with more than I thought like salad and soup it s was priced great and it was really good!! I will definitely go back and the staff was super nice

This is the best sushi in the city. Fresh as can be and very authentic. Love it.

Great service Great Food!!!

Gojima is absolutely amazing. The manager is so friendly he offered us free Sake bombs when we came in as well as coaxing us to try their super spicy sauces. The food was beautifully displayed and tasted amazing. Ive been several times with my friends pre-pandemic and when there was still indoor dining. I will continue to support Gojima as they are my favorite restaurant in Etobicoke and always an absolute pleasure to go to. Thank you for everything you do and for being such a joy to visit!!!

Came here as the place I wanted to go to was fully booked for the night. Turned to be a pleasant experience. The sushi and sashimi were quite good. The portions are huge. I got the platter for 2 people and two rolls which were more than enough for 3 people. Service was good. The decor is a typical sushi restaurant with bar seating and tables for small groups. Not sure if I would return as this is a bit out of the way for me, but if Im in area again, why not.

I decided to try Gojima for the first time today as its a short walk within my neighborhood. Unfortunately, to my horror, I had found a piece of (what it looks like) fabric in my Poke Bowl...... I never post reviews but this was extremely unpleasant to find in your food.

Thank you so much for your review anica pejanovic.. i love your review post for other restaurant and car wash. I can see you never post it.. im apologize what happened. Our poke bowl rice underneath the alk ingredient.. all mix with sesame oil and full of poke sauce.. i can see that fabric dry even found in the bowl .it our fault.. sorry and millions of our apologize. Our kitchen towel is white and no idea where that piece canme from it..

Owner is the nicest human, sushi is excellent, and the service (even for takeout) is always top notch. Our go-to for sushi in the area.

Not fresh. Very small sushi. Deplorable quality

Food was amazing! Staff were also kind and gave us extra biscuits and vegetables.

I have been going here for 5 years, it is incredible. I try sushi all over toronto and I must say this is the best sushi in the city. Its so fresh,authentic and tasty. Service is amazing. Im just always happy going to gojima and even happier leaving it

Amazing cuxstomer service!

Very satisfied with out order. Will indeed order from here again.

Authentic Japanes

Great service, great sushi, great prices

Wish I could give even more stars. The food was amazing, and staff were very welcoming and friendly. We were given a complimentary appetizer, and complimentary sushi in celebration of a fellow Chefs birthday. Such a great atmosphere and fulfilling dining experience!

Honestly, this is the best sushi my husband and I have ever had. And the best service. We sat outside and ordered 2 Sapporos, a poke bowl, the spicy roll platter and the spicy scallop roll. Our server was kind enough to surprise us with edamame, dumplings and Sake on the house. He was very attentive and kind. And the spicy rolls were ACTUALLY spicy, which was very much appreciated. This is 100% our new go-to sushi place! Cant wait to go back!

awesome service

I love their selection of sashimi/sushi where you can find more rare ones such as tuna belly, sea urchin, scallops, squid that are usually not as common or available at other restaurants in this area. Server is always super nice and gives us complimentary food. I will recommend this restaurant :)

Very nice people good food

Excellent sushi, and very friendly service.

Best sushi place around and the best staff

My absolutely favourite sushi ! I m obsessed with Gojima, definitely a must try.

Always such an amazing experience. Hands down the best sushi restaurant in Toronto. Super fresh and super friendly. Charlie and the staff always provides that neighbourhood community experience.

Great, long standing authentic restaurant with great food and a very kind owner whos very hands on and helpful. Highly recommend you check this place out cause the food is some of the best Ive tasted!

The food here is so far above any other sushi place weve ever been to. The atmosphere is great, and the staff are so excited to share the amazing food with you.

The staff is amazing and food fresh and amazing. We love that place, we recomend for all our friends.

Lovely local place.

Some of the best food Ive had. I come for lunch regularly, and its always a treat.

1st time ordering from this place and it didnt disappoint, sushi was fresh & tasty,portions & price were fair too. Will order again.

Delicious food and top notch service! They always seemed to have what i asked for before even asking and were very nice bringing a couple items on the house.

Amazing place! Great food great service and a nice enviornment. They even went to the trouble to bring us some food on the house. Will certainly return!

Slow service, below average food.

Best sushi in etobicoke. Charlie is amazing! Always delicious.

Amazing place!! Since you enter the vibe is really local, food is delicious and prices are sooo fair! But whats really outstanding is the service omg, the staff is so polite, attentive and is always looking to make your experience better!! Even they give u some delicious free samples!! This place totally worth it!

Good food, nice atmosphere. The server was incredibly friendly and accommodating, gave us multiple free dishes on the house. Recommended!

Sushi was pretty good, but I did get food poisoning. Also, the service was excellent, so I cant give it a 1 star

the spicy sishi are really good . Super service i will go back again!

Probably the most friendly restaurant in the neighbour hood. Honest and rewards loyalty. Even when I don t get anything Charlie, the owner, still waves at me when I walk by. Quality is higher than the other sushi places of similar prices in the neighbourhood. Lastly during COVID the place was very hygienic. From my experience no one is dropping their masks to talk.

Was recommended this place by a friend and needless to say, I was not disappointed! Very friendly staff and the food is amazing! Will definitely be coming back!

5 star sushi. Best in etobicoke. Highly recommend! Friendly people and quick service. My go to for take out and eat in.

Really good food and superb service

Excellent sushi and warm,friendly service.

This is my favourite sushi place in the city, and my go-to for delivered lunch. They always write kind notes and send treats as well. All the rolls are fresh and authentic. I could probably eat here every day...

Best sushi restaurant in Etobicoke! Their fish is fresh and rolls are yummy. They have various roll combos at a reasonable price! The owner is very friendly and service-oriented. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a good quality sushi, sashimi, and rolls in the area.

Best sushi in the west end ! Fresh and delicious rolls. The owner Charlie is very personable and always takes the time to get to know the customers.

Grand opening since 1995 I just have realized that. Maki platter is $25 plus taxes. This platter is pretty decent for two people. Sushi rolls are fresh and authentic. Yes, I have become their regular.

This place is amazing and very authentic. Very friendly staff. You can tell this place is quality since its mostly regulars and locals...been around for 25 years. When i want real sushi, I come here. Well done

Excellent food. Nice service. A++

Good neighborhood sushi place, probably one of the better ones in this part of town. They included few extra pieces which was a nice touch. Side note, if you had a bad experience with a Skip the Dishes driver, follow up with Skip the Dishes. Its just the delivery service, they dont work for the restaurant.

Very good sushi and Charlie is a great host!

good quality

The best sushi restaurant in Etobicoke. The staff is really nice and the food is amazing and fast

Happy greetings, delicious food, and price

Amazing service, delicious food and excellent staff. I recommend trying their poke bowl.

Best sushi ever! Great friendly service

Food was awesome! Super fresh and unpretentious. I would most definitely return!

All I can say is terrible Customer service in the sense that what we ordered wasnt brought to us even a simple miso soup after we told the waiter twice in which he once responded that the chef only had 2 hands.... trust me I understand when a place is full and packed you gotta understand and be patient but when you wait almost 20 min and have to ask for water and the place only has 3 tables full that is just not proper customer service at all.....the appetizer came after the main sushi we ordered and till now nooooo miso soup.... never coming back for sure very unfortunate for the potential it could have!!!!

Best Japanese restaurant in a long time. I m new to the area and I had the unexpected surprise when I found this restaurant. It feels very authentic and the food is fresh. The best Missusoup I had in years. Sushis are very tasteful as well. I have been there a couple of times now and I thought it was time to add a review.

Great service and very tasty food! A friend of mine told me how good this place was and I was certainly not disappointed. Definitely planning to return to try some other items.

Very good food, pleasant family-friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic service, great food, very friendly staff
