Nigiri-Ya (Leaside) in Toronto

Fabulous sushi, our main go to in midtown

Best sushi and sashimi in the leaside area and Danforth area...and better than most beyond. True Japanese.

Parking: Food is fresh and delicious. People are very nice and efficient. Thank you! Recommended dishes

The signature roll platter is so good!

Good quality sushi in Leaside. Quick and friendly service

The best sushi in my neighborhood. I believe this place is run by Japanese people. Very authentic. Sushi is extremely fresh and savory. I always take out so I can t tell you about dining in experience. Highly recommend this place. I m a happy regular customer.

Fresh sushi and rolls. Take out - so no rating for atmosphere.

Loved the party platter! Fresh and tasty.

I think hands down this is probably the best sushi shop in the entire Leaside neighourhood. Dont be taken back by its small and unassuming shop front, the sushi here is absolutely top class, in particular the torched Sushi. Every item is lovingly hand made and the chef has spared no expense to ensure that he provides you with the very best. Dont forget to try out their takoyaki as well, truly outstanding.

Probably the best sushi place in the city. So fresh and super tasty. Its a little bit pricier than other places but you will definitely get what you pay for!

Great take out/delivery Japanese food. Much better than many dine-in restaurants. They actually have a few tables, but limited sitting. My Japanese food of choice for now.

New favourite sushi spot! Fresh and quality rolls. Great prices as well. Fantastic service as well! Would recommend.

Have only done takeout here so can t speak to service or atmosphere. But the rolls are super yummy, the coconut shrimp roll in particular is a win. Good fish to rice ratio. Would recommend

It s the Best sushi I ve ever had

Cozy ambiance and delicious sushi. I recommend it

I think here is one of the best sushi restaurants in Toronto. I came here two days in a row. Food

I ordered Sushi Platter. In a word, it was magnificent. Every detail has been carefully crafted. I would definitely recommend.

Great service from staff

We love these guys- we have been exclusively ordering sushi from them for years. The food is excellent. Tonight, when we ordered our pretty substantial order, the woman who took our take out order was really rude. She even hung up on me. I feel like it was a normal and pleasant order? I get you are busy, but it was 4:30pm. Nominal courtesy goes a long way.

Food is good, but the place is seriously lacking in cleanliness/ hygiene. Especially the washrooms.

Delicious food, great menu, will be back for sure!

Great local spot. Food was very fresh and tasty. Service was good as well. Its a very small place with only a few tables. Will definitely be back!

It had a small number of tables (I could see lots of packed foods for deliveries), but we enjoyed its clean and cozy environment. The service was excellent (served by a very kind and thoughtful lady, Min) and the foods were amazingly tasty. Very generous portion of foods which were served in beautiful plates and bowls. Price was very reasonable. We felt very happy to find this top quality Japanese restaurant...nowadays, its truly hard to find the good one. Thank you Nigiri-Ya team, keep up the great work!!

The best sushi in town. Love this place Never Disappoints. The Food is always SO fresh and delicious. Their prices are definitely reasonable and service is awesome!

With only 2 hours notice they were able to customize a sushi platter for me after I gave them amount I was looking to spend and what I wanted! Sushi was delicious, fresh and everyone enjoyed it. Great customer service, great value and great taste. Will be back!

Always wanted to try this sushi restaurant in the neighborhood and finally popped by this past weekend. Definitely good quality sushi. Ordered 3 lunch menu items and they were all good especially the bugolgi bento box. The aburi sushi was very tasty too. Happy to add this as one of my favorites now!

Its delicious, fresh food. Staff are friendly and professional.

Top sushi spot in Toronto - amazing nigiri. And the cutest place mats that describe how to properly eat sushi! Will definitely be back.

If I could give them no stars, I would, but I was forced to give one so that I could leave a review! I clearly listed I am allergic to all nuts and sesame! on each item I placed in my cart. When it arrived, everything I ordered was covered in sesame seeds. If I opened the package, I would suffer an anaphylactic reaction and require medical intervention. When I called the restaurant, the woman who took my call said, we are short-staffed and didn t pay attention to your note . Careless. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!!

Finally found a decent sushi at a decent price in the neighborhood. Great staff too.

Great fresh sushi and very friendly staff! We loved it.

Fresh fish doesnt smell fishy at all, and the rice seasoning are perfect. It tastes perfect I think it was the best sushi I had. It was a perfect dinner. Thank you

Loved the sushi here! Very attentive service too. Popular in the area for take out too.

Food is amazing!!!! Staff is extremely friendly

Quiet little sushi restaurant hidden on a small street (for someone that ain t from the area). There are only two tables that seat four people and four additional seats that face the street. We ordered the a sushi platter to share between four adults. Everything was nicely presented and tasted great.

High quality sushi and sashimi for the reasonable price. Very nice service too! Strongly recommended!!

Great Japanese food The chef is great The sashimi is delicious Everything is great. The attention to the details WOW The waiter gives you a special attention

We ordered the signature roll platter as take-out from Nigiri-Ya. The platter came with a side of miso soup and salad. The sushi looked pretty and tasted super delicious! The ingredients were fresh, the soup was hot and the mix of flavors was good. Ive tried soft shell crab roll in many sushi places but this one is the best! You could actually taste the crab and the roll wasnt overstuffed with lettuce like they do at other restaurants. We enjoyed the food so much we completely forgot to take pictures! Definitely going to order from Nigiri-Ya again!

Love their veggie options

I like their rolls. Excellent presentation and delivery. Great value for the money.

Best Sushi in midtown. Consistent quality every time. 10% off if you order one hour ahead. The sushi is very authentic and fresh!

First time buying here and while price can add up quickly it is delicious

Quality food despite being a small neighbourhood shop. The eel rice bowl was fantastic (nicely balanced fattiness; rich subtle flavour, no need to slather sauce to hide anything) and chirashi don rivals more upscale places. Must have good suppliers because each piece was delectable... and thats usually only the case if you pay a high premium. Bowls seem to all come with miso soup and salad.

End

The best in the area... Highly recommended..

Unfortunately , I cant choose zero rate!!! Just placed the big order, relied on theirs rating on Google. So , fried california rolls , torched salmon roll and lobster rolls all of them had almost just only rice!!! And consequently wasnt tasty at all. We will never order anything from this place!!!!

Wow ! You know how when you get turned on to a new place the food is amazing and then slowly over time the quality goes downhill.. Well not this place !! The food is awesome ! Fresh and delicious

This place never disappoints. The fish is fresh and the sushi, absolutely melt in your mouth delicious. Definitely one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants with a lovely accommodating staff.

Super tasty and fresh rolls, the best I ve had in the neighbourhood. The service was excellent as well.

Best sushi place!!!

Yesterday I ordered catering for 17 people, and it was a happy time when everyone was satisfied with the quality and quantity of sushi. I want to order again for the year-end party

The food is very fresh and excellent quality. Always very good food, never regret.

Unagi was so good

Good quality of sushi and sashimi for reasonable price. I would definitely visit here again

It was very delicious. If you have a chance, I would definitely like to visit you again. Thank you for the meal.

Amazing sushi and friendly staff. Reliable and Tasty!

Was excited to try this place that is so close to our home, unfortunately it was terrible. The only bright spot was the miso which was good and the edamame, which are kind of hard to mess up. The actual sushi we ordered was basically rice. Any other ingredients were so thin as to be almost nonexistent. Such a letdown on Valentines. :(

The most delicious sushi in this location! Thanks you!

Good spot for takeout Sushi

Excellent Japanese dishes, prompt service and accessible location.

Great food and service!!!

Great neighbourhood sushi. High quality, premium takeout. Authentic.

Ordered takeout spicy salmon roll with miso soup. Very satisfied with the quality of what I ordered. Salmon was very moist and fresh, miso soup full of flavour. Service was kind and food was ready quickly after I had ordered.

Always great quality!

The food was delicious but the location was a bit small and got cold whenever anyone entered. Would 100% get take out or delivery though.

The Sushi here was phenomenal and the customer service was good. The fish was quite fresh and everything was made and presented with care. The food was also reasonably priced. The scallop roll was amazing.

An awesome sushi joint! Not only fresh food but also the place is run by awesome people with exceptional customer service. It seems be mainly functioning as a take-out place but there are 4 tables and we sat down to enjoy delicious sushi. They were super kids friendly and accomodating allergy related request very readily.

4-star as I was looking for a place to sit down and eat, which we did, and the service and food was amazing, but the place was set up as a take out place. It was freezing dining in, but no complaints at all since we understood the set up. Service was 5 star. Ordered chicken teriyaki, bulgogi and spicy salmon rolls. They all came with salad and miso soup and rice as stated on their menu. Prices were a little in the higher side for take out. But will definitely come back here for take out sushi due to proximity to our house and quality of food and service.

Good quality food. Very professional.

Really enjoyed the sushi and the presentation. Note that it isnt a licensed establishment, so no sake or alcohol.

Unique rolls, always fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!

Children
