SOZO Ramen Sushi in North York

The food was tasty, but the server ruined the experience. My friends and I came to eat, and at the end, we all tipped the server, which was an older Asian lady. However, the server thought she deserved more, so she approached our table and asked why we didnt tip more. Take into account that we came around lunchtime, so it was quite empty, and each ordered around $20 and paid separately, so what makes you think we would each tip around 50% of our total?? She was also very rude when asking us and ruined the whole experience. This was a while ago, so Im not sure if she still works there, but because of her, I havent been back. Tipping is a way of saying thank you. If you are mad about your salary, then go get a second job or smth smh.

Hey I had a pretty rough experience here. Aside from the food, I ve gotta say it feels like zero effort went into hiring the staff. They were rude and on edge, which is crazy since there were only two tables and four people inside when I was there, while everyone else was kept waiting outside. The servers couldn t handle it at all, seemed totally overwhelmed, and were even rude to people just picking up their orders. Anyway, this is the last time I ll be coming here, and I definitely wouldn t recommend it to anyone.

Love this restaurant ! The ramen tastes amazing and the sushi was so fresh. Tried their seafood don as well and seriously so good! It s great to have a local restaurant catering such good quality food. Also the staff at Sozo are always so nice and welcoming. I never feel rushed and it s always such a treat coming for dinner here. Sozo has easily become my boyfriend and I s local favourite. We will continue to come here and will forever recommend Sozo to family and friends.

Best Japanese cuisine weve ever tasted! Service and food excellent!

Came for lunch while my car was being serviced. Food was great, had the black garlic ramen and some uni . I would come back.

Ive been ordering from this place for years and it is one of the best sushi places in my opinion! The food is super fresh and mouth watering! It is pricer than alot of other places but you definitely get what you pay for! I highly recommend: - The salmon sushi pizza - Any of the sashimi - The hell fire roll (spicy) - The mango dragon roll - Tobiko salad - Any tempura - Miso soup Just about everything on the menu is to die for!

Great restaurant with amazing staff and phenomenal take out dishes. Only limitation is parking.

Came here for dinner tonight. Sashimi was very fresh and very much worth every dollar! The fresh wasabi was AMAZING! Service was amazing! Would come back again!

tried ramen and curry . They taste below the average.

Such an underrated place just needs some exposure. Sashimi was so fresh flavorful and thick. Curry katsu don was really good too and prices are really fair

Sozo is a hidden gem in a sea of sushi and Japanese restaurants - a literal one too tucked within the Consumers Road business park. I have returned a few times and with different friends; all who agree with me on this being a great restaurant. Parking can be validated if you park in the parkade. However, it is easier to park across the street where your parking will be validated by the credit card you used to enter. Theyre a small team as you are greeted with a warm, friendly welcome. Service is prompt and they are super attentive and look to provide a great dining experience. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate. It doesnt get loud and you dont have to yell over other people just to hear each other - which I appreciate. The food is the highlight. The sashimi platters feature some of the best sashimi I have had and at great prices. It is fresh and it just makes you smile as the sashimi melts in your mouth. Along with the sushi, it is prepared with care and the ingredients are of great quality. The rolls are done very well and portion sizes are great. Weve ordered other items such as the scallop wasa cup, soft shell crab (made very well), and chirashi don bowls. All of these dishes were very good and we would order again. If you are looking for great sushi and Japanese food, Sozo is a great place with excellent service. The quality and taste of the food is consistent every visit. Vegetarian options: Japanese cuisine provides for great tasting vegetarian options. Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating and knows their ingredients very well. Parking: We visit outside of office hours so plenty of parking across the street and in the parkade.

Good price

Always a friendly greeting and excellent customer service by Ivy

Excellent food, service and atmosphere was good. I usually go there for sushi but tried their Ramen which was really good. Food

Vegetarian options: Came in on a rainy evening for the black garlic vegetarian ramen. Very delicious, fresh and satisfying. The staff were also very kind. I m officially a regular. Recommended dishes

Excellent service, tasty food and great variety. Crab tempura, sushi and ramen all delicious

Great food and great service!

I ordered the ramen, it was pretty good. No complaints. Plenty of space at 7pm, which was nice. The restaurant provides free parking coupons upon payment.

We had very good experience. Server was kind and gentle, and food was amazing (My first one finished two California rolls and I have never seen her eating that much. She said it was very tasty). Updates: this time we ordered black dragon roll. It was disappointing that portion is small and eel is very thinly sliced so u dont really taste the eel. California roll is still good though. Updates: you have to try House Special Rolls and Ultimate big dragon role though they are expensive, they taste amazing. P.S. Ramen was bit disappointing though

Great sushi rolls and miso soup. Fast and helpful service. Awesome vibes. Got the lunch special take out and will definitely be back sometime soon!

Love the Ramen and the amazing waitress thats always there when I go. Will be returning weekly

I have ordered sushi from Sozo multiple times and it was amazing each time! They never fail to impress with their quality and this place rapidly is becoming my go to sushi spot! I love this place!

Went for early dinner on a Thursday. We have 4 adults and an 8 year old kid. Ordered 3 types of Ramen, their house special roll, spring roll, and a salmon teriyaki donburi. Everyone in the group gave 5 stars to their chosen food. Highly recommended and will definitely go back. ps. Parking is good. Optio. To park in the same building their housed or on the parking lot across the street. They cover 4 hours of your parking which is enough time to eat and linger for a little bit.

We love this place. We ve been here for birthdays, any occasion, and always had incredible service. Staff is so friendly, and the menu has something for every craving- tempura, ramen, sushi, fantastic sashimi. We keep coming back!! Parking: Parking is covered by the restaurant if you bring your parking ticket.

Parking is a bit difficult. Sushi is nothing special. Ramen is okay. The rice dons use something similar to sushi rice so if you like that. The unique dishes are a lot better than the regular ones and the quality of the ingredients carry the dishes a lot.

The staff was so nice and the food was delicious. High grade wasabi was appreciated and they even had $1 for a dish promotion! Great value for the portion of food!

Went for lunch around 1pm, there was no one in the restaurant except us. However, the waitress greeted us nicely and even told us we can sit at a bigger table. We ordered the bento boxes and they were AMAZING! For that price, the food was fresh and delicious! I definitely recommend anyone who wants Japanese cuisine in that area to give it a try!

This is a hidden gem - sushi was amazing!

Sozo is truely a hidden gem! Food is so good with sushi being of a comparable quality to good sushi in my native Vancouver. The servers are friendly and the prices are fair. Also lots of parking which they reimburse.

THIS PLACE IS BEYOND AMAZING! Umami

Unexpectedly good.

The food was delicious, This place is so clean and the server was great.

Good food.

The best sushi and Ramen you can get in North York, Loved a lot and good atmosphere and great service.

Came on a Wednesday night for family dinner. It was not busy. The server is super friendly, the dishes came out quickly. Food is delicious. Sashimi is very fresh. Price is reasonable. There are also two rooms for small private parties. Parking is in a multilevel structure. There is complementary parking up to 4 hours. Just let the server know and you will be provided with a ticket. When exiting the parking garage, put the ticket provided by the restaurant into the machine by the exit gate first and then put in your own ticket next and the gate will open. We ordered: Pomelo Tea with Honey (HOT) Deluxe Sashimi 12pcs Supreme Sushi 16pcs Tender Pork Ribs Ramen Black Garlic Assorted Veggies Tempura Miso Soup Philadelphia Roll Would definitely recommend and return again.

Ordered take-out since it was in the area of where I was yesterday and it had a lot of great reviews and the pictures of the food looked amazing. The presentation of the sushi is beautiful and I love how generous they are with the ginger (and they give the good stuff too!! None of that fake pink-dyed ginger here.). But unfortunately, the sushi quality fell a little flat for me. The rice in the futomaki and the pressed sushi was cold like it was in the fridge. It was something that myself and my friends noticed right away when biting into the rolls/sushi. I also felt the rice could have more flavour, I couldnt taste the vinegar or that tell-tale umami flavour you get when eating sashimi or rolls. The sauces and the roll combinations were very impressive and I especially enjoyed the Dalmatian roll (a California roll with seared white tuna on top drizzled with eel sauce), which was enjoyable because the eel sauce and the torched tuna provided strong flavours that overcame the rice. The service is really friendly and the ambiance is really nice though.

Very tasty and great service

The service and environment are quite good. We ordered bento and ramen. Just doesnt like the taste of the food.

This was our first time here. We came on January 31st for my sons birthday. Everything was delicious The service was amazing and they even sang Happy birthday to my son and gave him a free dessert. Thank you SOZO!

Came in with no expectations, but was blown away by every facet of this restaurant. Had the smoked duck breast ramen with the spicy miso broth - the meat was delicious and tender. I dont eat duck very often, but I highly recommend it. The decor is simple yet classy, and the service was excellent. Ill be coming back. Also had their lunch special Maki which was great - they also provide real wasabi instead of coloured horseradish which a lot of other sushi restaurants use, so kudos to them.

The sushi was great and the employes are very nice

What a wonderful find this restaurant ended up being!! The food was delicious. We tried the duck breast ramen and veggie ramen - both were flavourful. We also tried the spicy salmon and spicy tuna rolls, both exceeded our expectations. The staff were love and service was great. I can t wait to go back and try more things off their menu!

Great food, even better service!!!

Tasteless ramen. The meat (pork) wasn t seasoned at all. Even for the chicken (breaded) the ramen as a whole wasn t very flavourful. Wouldn t recommend this place for ramen.

2023 March 3 On the weekends, youll find this place not too busy given its located in a business park and its tucked away with the highways surrounding it. Chef Recommendation Sushi Set $35.99 Chef Special Sushi pcs & Handroll 1pc House Salad, Miso Soup. The sushi was good. Probably the better option at this restaurant. Though the foie gras sushi was overwhelmingly rich. The salad was ok. Karage $8.99 This was ok. Though the batter wasnt traditional. Mango dragon roll $17.99 This was ok. While a bit pricier, it was a good size and portion. Smoked Duck breast ramen $16.50 The duck was good. The soup base wasnt traditional, but wasnt bad. Capacity of about 30 people. Free 4 hour parking within the parking lot.

Nice. Pork Curry rice

Despite a stormy day, food was still very good. More people should come give these guys a try on the weekend. Manager Jerry was friendly and attentive. Food was hot and tasty. Dont forget about parking. Give them a call for details.

Definitely dine in. The more I got to know the staff the more I liked the place. Really good chef and the waiting staff are great. 5/5

I stumbled upon this gem by fluke one day and have been hooked since. Im not fluent in Ramen but I know good food when I eat it and this place has it all. Fresh sushi, delicious Ramen and Great service. Keep up the good work.

The lunch box is a perfect option for a vegeterian person. You get all the variety in this. Not many other options separately for vegeterian. But the sushi is worth the try. Vegetarian options: Lunch box has the options including good set of sushi rolls.

There are no other drawbacks except that it doesn t taste good. Ramen has no taste And all the noodles my friend ordered were delivered to the wrong one.

Both rainbow dragon rolls and California rolls are great! Friendly people as well.

Food was below average. Curry rice - curry was watered down and bland The rice in general tasted off but I can t quite put my finger on it.

Went to SOZO Ramen Sushi recently. Cool modern vibe, friendly staff, and the food is spot on. Started off with some Salmon and Tuna sushi which were really fresh and tasty. Also, it was my first time trying Takoyaki and they delivered. For the main event, I went for their Beef ramen with Miso broth. The beef was tender, broth was full of flavor (just what you want from a bowl of ramen). Finished with their mochies for dessert and they were sweet, soft, and a great end to the meal. I even took some close-up shots because they looked as good as they tasted. The bill was about $50 each, but honestly, for the quality of the food and the service, it was worth it.

Very much enjoyed the ramen and service was great!

Best place in town, the Phoenix Roll is a killer

The food was done well. Very good service. The sushi was small but very fresh and executed well. Ramen noodles with a soft pork was presented. Done well. It was only three minutes from Fairview mall and the 404 DVP so getting out was easy.

Beautifully arranged dishes but the flavour was a little lacking on ramen.

Worst ramen ever

I got the Bento 5 lunch special which consisted of chicken teriyaki, tempura 2 pieces shrimp tempura (small) and 3 vegetable piece, 6 spicy salmon pieces with soup and salad. $20~ after tax. Chicken was bland and didn t taste like teriyaki. Comparable to off the shelf teriyaki sauce mixed with chicken that becomes watery with diluted taste.

Great place for a quick stop for sushi and more!! Greta service, no long wait time for food to come out, we ordered various sushi rolls and loved it!! The mango cheesecake was really good as well. Would definitely go back.

Our new favorite sushi + ramen place. Everything is fresh, and customer service is very attentive. They know wed like to share so they brought individual plates and bowls.

Food and presentation is always wonderful. Bit expensive to be honest but thr quality is there in the taste.

Portion of food not the best. Sashimi slice are very thin, omg better of buying at Loblows. Hot tea is half the cup which is tasteless , miso soup half the bowl. This place is rip off. Very Disappointed. Paid $ 33 and I am not even full. Not worth the price.

Amazing food taste and quality. Staff was attentive and met all our needs.

Excellent food and service every time we go. They overheard me wishing my friend an early happy birthday and surprised her with dessert. Really thoughtful.

Very friendly staff who provided great service. The food was also amazing to look at in regards to presentation. However, in terms of price, portion and taste I believe that is where there can be improvement. taste - 3.5/5, portion - 3/5, presentation - 4/5

Me and my colleagues had our launch at this Japanese restaurant today, it was a pleasant experience overall. The sushi and bento were delicious, but the soy sauce lacked flavor. The staff had difficulty understanding English and made a mistake with my order. However, the food was enjoyable, and the staff were polite. Some improvements in communication and soy sauce quality would make it even better.

Food was delicious!! Totally worth your money! The restaurant has daily deals, when you spend $50 you get a $1 special, a steal! Alvis provided us with amazing service, she was kind and informed us about the daily deal which saved us some money and filled out bellys. Thank you again Alvis!!! We will definitely be back and will recommend this spot to friends and family.

My wife and I dropped in for an impromptu dinner on Friday evening. The people were really kind and helped us with the menu choices to suit our tastes. We had an assortment of rolls with spicy tuna, spicy crab, California rolls, and a special salmon sushi which was the house special of the day. The food and service was excellent, and we d highly recommend to sushi lovers in the GTA.

We ordered sushi and ramen. It was delicious! Service was also amazing!

Excellent service, very lovely and kind. Place is really nice and clean. Had ramen which tasted amazing. Definitely recommend.

Great experience! Decor was pretty, high ceilings, food was delicious. Service was friendly and accommodating. Wish parking was more convenient because it s an above ground parkade, but parking fee was waived from dining here. Recommended

Such a wonderful experience. Upon waking in, youre greeted with a friendly smile and seated. The server explained the menus and the $1 daily specials. My friend and I got the mango dragon roll (so fresh and yummy!) The hell fire roll (ask for more hot sauce if you want a kick) pork cutlet and 2x pork ramen. The food was so flavorful and the sushi so fresh it melted in our mouths. We washed everything down with some hot sake and 2x yuzu sake jelly shots ( Def must try!) Prices vs quality was on par. 4 hour free parking. Not crowded. Parking: Parking validation up to 4 hrs

The ramen with tender pork ribs could be a bit less greasy/salty, and the noodles could be tastier. The spider rolls were pretty tasty. The salmon teriyaki don could have a bit more salmon. The crispy chicken cutlet could be less breaded. Service was very good.

Great ramen, great service loves the pork ramen.

Really good food ! And customer service is the best - this is a gem and everyone should go here !

Taste good!

Delicious Food, a must try. Very Good Service

Good food

Small establishment but everyone has a positive vibe! We loved the sushi rolls they were fresh and delicious. The watermelon seasonal drinks are very tasty and fresh. The ramen savoury and felt like noodles were fresh.(unsure) The Takoyaki was perfectly done and had great presentation. Our family enjoyed this place, it s a hidden gem. Parking: Ask for the parking voucher ; found out on last visit.

Food was great. Service was even better and the music was peaceful. We came here for my birthday and we are so glad that we did! Our server Catherine really made us feel attended to and made our first experience here one that would make us want to return again. Amazing restaurant.

Good food, reasonable prices

Great food. Amazing deal as well, my lunch special even had toro in it ! We will definitely be coming back. Food : 5/5

Its a hidden gem in the business park area. Free parking. Great service, attention to detail. Fresh seafood at a very reasonable price. Would love to visit again to try other dishes. Parking: Free parking voucher given by the restaurant.

Overall, the food is average. . . However, the compulsory tip is shameless, and the service is average and unsatisfactory. Maybe it is about to close down and is short of money?

Absolutely outstanding food and service. A++++++++

Bad experience at all especially for the manager

Went here for ramen on a Sunday night. The ramen was ok. Nothing special. The soup was not that hot (borderline warm - not what I was expecting). Noodles look like they were bought from a store and not made (which is not an issue - just wanted to bring it up). Service was great though. The waitress was really polite and nice and very helpful. Parking: Free parking provided by the restaurant for 4 hours inside.

The restaurant was half full but the servers didn t come until we waved to get their attention. Only then when we placed our orders that we got water (had to ask for it). We had mains and appetizers. The mains came with miso soup. It is my first time to be served miso soup and apps after the mains arrived. Ordered torched sushi and torched salmon don but didn t look and taste torched at all. When we asked for the bill, the sushi chef noticed us before the server did. Pretty disappointed with the meal for the price paid.

An absolute delight! We ordered the Ume Sashimi 30 pieces and it came out in an attractive boat full of ice and a tasty fresh shredded Daikon, that white semi spicy translucent Japanese vegetable we are all familiar with. The waiter told us that they use premium fresh Wasabi and he encouraged us to try a small dash on its own. It was great! Not too hot and when we blended it with their soya sauce the result was a very tasty dipping dish for the super fresh sashimi. There was an extensive variety of fish each with unique flavours and textures that made the dining experience so pleasant! The side dish of seaweed salad was super tasty and had been mixed with a scattering of sesame seeds. I just had a Perrier water and on a whim I put a few slices of the homemade pickled ginger slices in my glass and was really surprised at how it gave the mineral water a nice slight ginger flavour. I ll definitely do that again and we ll definitely come back here!!

Love the salmon teriyaki bowl, its my go-to

Food was ok. Staff was nice but absent during a time that was not busy. Too expensive for what you get. Food : 4/5

Excellent service and atmosphere, sushi is good but rice for dons were really bad. Ramen was good but just a step away from great. Parking: Restaurant will cover 4 hours to park at the nearby garage

Gloria, our server was absolutely incredible!!!!!! She made our experience truly special. We would visit again because of the service. The ramen was delicious! The miso soup and the tempura were also incredible. Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian option for the Ramen!! (Not on the menu).

Food was delicious Staff was very helpful friendly n professional Only thing I didn t like was the location of parking!!! Food : 5/5

It s ok

I ate a lot of things. The sashimi is made from high-quality fish and is quite fresh, high quality, and delicious. , Sushi, chicken karaoke, etc. are delicious... The service is also great. It s been a while since I found a good restaurant near my house

Very delicious Sushi for a very good price! Very fresh. Staff was also so welcoming and sweet! They also give you a 4 hour free parking coupon which was nice! Highly recommend this place.

Bento Box Lunch is decent.

Our second time here and it was just as amazing as the first. We got the chicken ramen (photo) and duck ramen with the phoenix roll (photo). Everything was amazing, you cant go wrong with this place!

Sushi is not fresh, maybe pandemic related. It is also bland and because of those two reasons not worth the price. Rude Management needs an overhaul. Save your money and save yourself a headache. If you want sushi look elsewhere like Gonoe sushi on don mills. Extra star is for the friendly FOH staff.

Just amazing. Placed an order on Valentines and asked the manager/head chef to valentinify the order and he went above and beyond! The quality of the food is unparalleled and the customer service is just amazing! Will definitely recommend this to everyone!

Very good! Get the black garlic.

Amazing food and service! Seafood is very fresh. Sushi well presented. Ramen also on point.

Everything we ordered was delicious. We cant wait to return. I recommend the black garlic Ramen.

The food was great. Especially the sushi rolls - we ordered chicken and pork noodles both and they were delicious. The staff was super friendly and helpful even when it was almost closing time

Excellent spot, highly recommend.

Had a wonderful dine in experience at SOZO this evening. Staff were amazing, and attentive while taking care of all our needs and suggestions. Food not only looked amazing but was very fresh and delicious. Our party felt safe with the cleanliness of this restaurant and I highly recommend the K10 - Spider Roll on their menu.

So delicious, quality is $$$, with a price of $$. Will likely be a new regular spot for us.

I can certainly say, they are one of the best Japanese restaurants of Toronto. Quality of their food and customer service are above and beyond. Definitely my go-to restaurant.

Ramen needs to be improved. Kind of disappointed. Sashimis were okay. Service was nice.

Been here twice, lunch and dinner. Sashimi is surprisingly good, fresh and many variety. Price a little bit high and portion a bit small but will definitely go back.

Much care is put into the food and the staff is extremely friendly. Price is also very reasonable.

Went here since it had great rating around my area. Service was great & friendly. The fish and seafood was fresh but just the sushi rice kinda dry and not enough flavour. They need to use a better grade of sushi rice and season properly. Price of the food is not bad but you must try the foie gras sushi. But will come back here again to try the other stuff on their menu.

Service was quick and the food was good. A hidden gem in the Consumers Road area. (Update 08May2022) Went there for my mothers day dinner with my family. Service was excellent as usual. Had ordered the phoenix roll and it was not only pretty to look at but also flavorful.

Came in for Saturday lunch May 22, 2022. Place wasnt busy. Party of 5 adults. Ordered both Ramen and sushi rolls. The dynamite roll was smaller than all other Japanese resto. Original broth Ramen had so much onion. Almost tasted like French onion soup. Spice miso broth was good. Spicy and tasty. Ramen noodles was a bit undercooked. In all, it was OK. And since the customer service was bad. Theres really nothing enticing to go back to.

The food was great and the staff were super friendly. Highly recommend visiting!

Amazing food, Absolutley Exceptional Staff.

Over priced

Ive been to multiple Japanese resto and so far Sozo is one of the best. The food is already great but the level of how they preppare and the presentation would show the talent and beyond the price. There is parking fee for the building but you can get a discount coupon from them. Also and not the least, staff are really friendly and very nice to interact with. This Japanese resto is highly recommended!

Staff was super friendly, very relaxing atmosphere, liked their background music. Free 4-hour parking.

Had a wonderful Friday dinner with friend and fiancé! Will definitely visit soon in the future!

Amazing taste, too small portions!

Excellent service and the food got to our table quickly in spite of the restaurant being busy. Everything was very fresh and very flavourful. My family wants to go back again.

Food 3/5 Service 5/5 The portions were too small compared to the price as well as the bowl being much bigger than the amount of ramen served. Taste was alright but nothing really stopd out. The soup just tasted like any other ramen and the sauce on the roll was bland. Overall the food wasnt bad but just not what id pay $30 for. However, service was great, almost phenomenal. I didnt need to ask for more water, they checked up to see if food was okay and eye contact basically was all that was needed to let them know I needed the bill. All of my plates were cleared soon after I was done and honestly enjoyed the service. Thank you.

The place is okay but the food was not delicious. Parking: There Is free parking in the car park structure next door.

Sushi is delicious and the gyu don is amazing.

Great food, great service, nice ambiance

This place was great! We ordered Gyoza for appetizer, which was lovely. It was crunchy and the filling was delicious. We came here for the ramen and ordered Smoked Duck Breast Ramen (with Black Garlic Oil broth) and Seafood Ramen (with Spicy Red Miso broth). The ramen were both good and creamy. I would suggest getting a lighter broth if you re getting the Smoked Duck Breast since the smokey flavour is quite rich already. It sort of competed against the Black Garlic Oil soup so the overall dish was quite strong. Overall we enjoyed the food! Service was amazing as well! They were very attentive and helpful. Would recommend!

Food: 5/10 Service: meh The girl that helped us was really nice. I think she was new on the job. I m giving a low rating because I was practically asked to tip more than I had already given, and I don t even think that girl will get the tips as a different person handed me the POS.

Average nothing special

I go there basically every Wednesday and am considered a regular customer. I really like his dining environment and service quality. The part that surprises me is that the store listens carefully to customers opinions and improves them later, which is what attracts me to come back often. It is a place worth recommending

Always amazing service and a wonderful atmosphere. Food is amazing and is now my new favourite. My boyfriend and I keep going back.

Got the amazing Sliced Beef Ramen with Spicy Red Miso, and it blew me away. Would recommend, will come again.

Ordered Bento box 5. Not the best sushi, but okay for the locality. The prawns were good.

The first time I visited this restaurant I had dinner with a friend. We didnt order much but we thought the food was descent but the service not the greatest. Second and probably last time I visited for lunch but the server got most of the order wrong, I had to wait for a long time until I got what I had actually ordered and for some reason the sushi was tasteless.

Nice spot for some simple dishes

We ordered Sushi and Octapus and it was decent. What really impressed me was how courteous and professional the staff was. We were the only ones in the restaurant and it was closing time and all the staff left except one guy and he would have waited if we didn t leave.

Comfortable spot for a nice family Japanese meal. Kids friendly and staff are great. Food is decent and especially enjoyed their yakitori

Probably one of the most disappointing meals Ive had this year. I ordered the Sliced Beef Teppan rice, for an $18 dish, it had an underwhelming portion. The meat was burnt and the vegetables were cooked to a crisp. The ramen we ordered was also very small in portion, and the broth was subpar. We ended up having to find somewhere else to eat afterwards because we werent even full. The other table ordered sushi and that seemed more appetizing and portions more reasonable. Too bad Ive lost interesting in the place and will not return again to try the sushi. 2 stars for the OK service anyway.

Food was good. Nice to experience different tastes.

Staff were super attentive and nice. Followed up with my order and made great recommendations. The decor are pretty and there is a coat rack for the winter time. The ramens that I have had there has been pretty good. (Usually go around lunch time and the staff always ask whether we needed something for the parking). Update from last time, the staff seems to have changed and are a bit less attentive. Food quality for sushi is okay.

I had never been a huge fan of ramen until i tried theirs!! The only thing better than the food is really the people that work here. I found this restaurant when i was on a walk around my neighbourhood and I ve been hooked ever since. They went the extra mile to continue to offer an item that had been taken off the menu until they ran out of the ingredient! 10/10 the best place and people. Thank you Ivy and everyone for always making me feel welcome :)

I was super surprised at how great of an experience I had at SOZO Ramen Sushi. My friend and I were one of the only groups eating there, so it was a very peaceful and private experience which you dont get at busier places. I ordered a lot of stuff for myself since everything was so good - including the picture Hell Ramen, a roll, and some chicken skewers (not shown). Everything was amazing and totally recommended. The Hell Ramen was tasty and I had no problem finishing it, it wasnt spicy to the point of being inedible and had great flavour and toppings. The skewers were probably my favorite item, they were juicy and perfectly grilled. Id definitely come here often if it were closer to where I lived. Theres a big parking garage beside the restaurant so that was no issue.

Very poor quality of sushi. Mayonnaise covered everything. My expectations were low, and yet I was still disappointed.

My favorites are black garlic Ramen and their pento boxes

Absolutely Excellent in every way. The homemade broth for the Ramen was complex, aeromatic, and satisfying. The fresh Ramen noodles just added to the perfection of the dish. It is the small details that make a good restaurant really stand out. Sozo ticked all the boxes. The service was friendly and informative. Prices did not break that bank. Parking is everywhere. Highly recommended indeed!

Just had a dinner at SOZO. The servers were amazing and taste is exquisite. I had Takoyaki, Smoked duck Ramen in Hell Spicy broth along with Crème Brûlée. The presentation was beautiful and tasted delicious. I have tried Ramen at many restaurants in Toronto, but this was above all. If you are driving, they have free parking for 4 hours on the first floor. Definitely, visiting again!!

Spacious interior and very accommodating staff. So she was delicious and a ton of variety, I ordered the platter ($68) for two and it definitely could have fed three people. The sushi pieces itself are larger than what I have eaten before so felt more filling.

If you want the authentic Japanese ramen and sushi, this is not the place. Broth is so so, like soup paste, not real bone broth! Seafood ramen has only two tiny shrimps and fake crab meat and one piece of cooked salmon? Never heard about this kind of seafood ramen! All other food is really not good quality. Respond to the owner: i believe people would appreciate the owner is honest and direct to the feedback about food quality. It is not smart to try to distract other customers by questioning the intentions. We don t have any intention, only want to give other people fair reference. We finished all bc the portions was small and we didn t want to waste food! Did you suggest us to just leave the food and pay the bill if we don t like it?

First & last time trying this place. Came here based on the amazing reviews & was extremely disappointed. Normally, I don t write negative reviews but the rating is too high on this restaurant & I don t want others to be misled like me. Ordered 4 dishes & 2 of them were bad. I ve been to many Japanese restaurants that serve similar dishes as Sozo & they are much better. Starting from the worst to good. Chasu Pork Belly Ramen - Worst ramen I ever had in my life. Soup was rancid smelling & tasted nothing like Shoyu soup flavor from other ramen places like Kinton, Konjiki. Pork belly was also flavourless. For the price, I was expecting similar quality & it did not meet expectations. I think the soup went bad & it was served to me. I felt sick immediately after eating it. Do not order the Shoyu ramen! 0/5 Chicken Curry - Not enough flavor. Very little chicken. Mostly bland curry sauce with rice 1/5 Salmon Teriyaki Don Buri - Ok. Tasted as one would expect from a Japanese restaurant 4/5 Deluxe sushi platter - Good presentation. Good flavor. Fresh fish. 4/5 Service is good here, but it cannot make up for the bad food & price point. I will not be returning. Staff, please kindly smell & try the ramen soup before serving it. I am 100% certain the soup had already went bad when it was served to me. Response to staff: I compared your food to other popular Japanese restaurants who make amazing ramen for similar price. Sorry I didn t bother having a big discussion on how your chef shouldn t serve me rancid soup but does that really need to be said?! The fact that your chef willingly served me rancid soup shows: 1) He/she does not care about food quality 2) He/she is missing a nose. The soup smelled terrible & tasted nothing like Shoyu ramen from other amazing chains such as Konjiki & Kinton Ramen. I felt a review was more appropriate for this situation than an in person complaint/discussion. Your food does not meet the standard for good Japanese food. Period.

It has always been a pleasure to dine at Sozo! The service is excellent and friendly, and the food is always of high quality.

The food was SOO good there. The staff were really sweet and gave great service. I 100% would go there again.

The experience is nothing short of exceptional, definitely a must try if youre in the area. The last time I was there, I had a black garlic ramen, salmon avacado roll, aburi sushi, and in house japanese cheesecake. The dishes were served in a timely matter and of remarkable quality: I highly recommend the aburi sushi in particular. The cheesecake was light, fluffy and not too sweet. The menu is rather extensive so theres always something new to try for the next visit. The service here is unparalleled. The staff was friendly, swift, and attentive. Compared to other restaurants where its a struggle to get the attention of a server, table service here is effortless; the waiting staff attended to our needs after a quick glance or even unprompted. There was always water on the table and empty dishes were cleared swiftly. Overall, a fantastic choice for both Japanese cuisine or a smooth dinner out.

Google d Sozo and decided on it after reading reviews and looking at photos of the food/decor in the restaurant. Met a girlfriend who had never been as well and we highly recommend it. I ve eaten at some bomb sushi restos, from Katsuya & Sugarfish in LA to Minami in Vancouver and this sushi can hold its own. Ordered salmon and tuna sashimi and they brought out toro sashimi which was great. The sushi rolls were fresh and the service was great, notably the server Ivy s attentiveness. Also, the presentation is IG-worthy. Go here, you won t be disappointed. Parking: In parking structure and the restaurant will validate it.

A great spot to grab some delicious food in a welcoming and warm atmosphere! I enjoyed the friendly service and delectable sushi and ramen (especially the black garlic ramen!) and would definitely recommend dropping by to have a lunch or dinner

We had assorted sushi and tempura, every bite of everything was delicious and high quality. I especially liked the aburi (torched) and pressed sushi. Service was nice and place is clean and modern. I would go back to try the ramen, although sushi that good is hard to pass on.

Sozo Ramen Sushi one of the best sushi restaurants in Toronto. Quiet and nice place, excellent costumer service. my wife and I adore their amazing sushi menu, specially their thorch options. fully recomended

Delicious food & wonderful service. A must visit.

Went during busy lunch service, but didnt have to wait for table. Had ramen, karaage and soft shell crab. Food was hot, served quickly by Jerry. Will be back. Parking: Validated parking, need to obtain validated ticket from restaurant, use it WITH your original entry ticket when exiting covered parking lot.

I went there on Saturday, wanted to order Bento Box, unfortunately, there is no bento box on weekends. So here is my order, tastes good, amount small, price fair.

Great food and customer service! Highly recommend.

The black dragon roll was delish but their ramen broth is too light in flavour, the egg is not marinated and the texture of the noodles do not feel authentic

Amazing sushi, soup and salad! It was all really fresh and our server, Ivy was awesome!

Slightly overpriced Fish not very fresh Other dishes we tried also didnt taste very well

Friendly staff, tasty good. Would recommend.

Food was absolutely delicious and the customer service is the best! Parking: Free 2 hour parking in the parking lot at back. Just ask them for a pass.

My partner and I frequent Sozo and always get familiar greetings from the great staff. I get the Chashu pork belly ramen with Black garlic broth and it is delicious everytime!! The interior is beautiful and not too busy :) a gem ! Parking: Get a parking voucher!

Very good place! I always come here!! Haven t been here for a while but will definitely go back

Came here after seeing some great reviews and the service was impeccable! Loved the servers kindness and grace. The ramen we got was especially tasty as well for a great price. The sushi was a little more on the pricy side so we strayed away from that but the ramen was a good size for its $10 price point!

Great Service, food is ok.

Absolutely fantastic. Definitely worth five stars. They have a wide variety of sushi sashimi and the Maki sushi was a really good. A big thank you to our amazing server named Ivy. Her pleasant and cheerful demeanour was an absolute delight. I had the curry and it was really delicious thats what I would personally recommend if youre hungry. And hopefully this information is helpful did you know that you can actually Park their for free in the underground parking... The waitress will take care of your parking and validate for you after youre finished eating your meal. Also very good prices. We fed a family of four for about $60

We tried this restaurant today and ordered three different ramen noodles, sushi combo, three different rolls, and a salmon, uni donburi. The food was okay, quality is not bad, service is good. The reason it has only three stars is because the size of the sushi is so SMALL!! For the price we paid, the portion was too small...we will not go back.

I love to look around and find a good but not too expensive places to dine, so I try this one out, came in from a cold winter night and the warmest staffs greeted me, sat down , the place is beautiful and quiet, music was soft, food price is not too expensive , but the decoration tell me it should be, turns out the fish so fresh, salad and the soup not bad at all, the rice were mixed with sesame taste , that more you eat more hungry you get, and at last the green tea yogurt , was awesome and the manager Jeany was sooo nice, definitely come back and recommend for everyone. Come back after the pandemic, the place still wonderful, added ramen is also great

I tried their miso ramen and i thought it was ok, the noodle was a great texture. The soup base was mediocre, not very rich and did not have a lot of distinct flavours. It was also a bit too salty for my preference.

Great service, great food, cant go wrong at Sozo

Food were soooo delicious, staff were soooo good too...also parking is easy they will just validate your ticket for free. Highly recommended

This is my favourite restaurant by far! The staff are so friendly and welcoming, more so than ANY restaurant Ive ever been to. The sushi amazing, the ramen is heavenly, and the pork belly is to die for. If youre reading this, do yourself a favor and go treat yourself to an amazing meal here. 6/5 stars

I tried Chicken Ramen at this place, and it was very very tasty. The soup was so rich and tasty with thin noodles? (cant rate them myself) and chicken was not just raw chicken, it was cooked properly. Definitely would come again

Super fresh and delicious. Will be coming back again!

A bit pricier than expected, but nonetheless, very fresh and delicious.

First time to try this place and didn t disappoint The chicken ramen was good, tasty and generous serving. Our server, Amy was helpful to suggest items on the menu. Parking can be tricky, no side street parking but 2 hrs free indoor parking for customers, get your ticket validated before leaving.

Fantastic experience just getting takeout. Our new favourite.

Good meal & service
