shunoko in Toronto

I enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. The chefs were very friendly and explained each dish very carefully and in great detail. Would recommend coming here.

Great food, great service, great environment!

I recommend sitting at the bar to see the chef in action. We enjoyed our time, the service was perfect and the fish was fresh. I will come back next time I visit Toronto

Did the omakase. Superb food and service. No crazy frills, just quality and taste. Will def be back.

best value omakase

Went here for omakase and it was absolutely life changing!! Extremely delicious food and very good serving amount for the price point. I definitely left feeling full and very very happy! Words cannot describe how euphoric the experience of eating the amazing food here was. Super stunning cuisine, would highly highly recommend to anyone and everyone and definitely worth doing the wine pairing as well! Exceptional customer service also! 1,000,000/10 stars all the way !!!

First omakase experience. Fantastic food and service. Dont hesitate to come and try.

Great experience, amazing curated omakase, fish was incredibly fresh and well prepared. Lovely service and ambiance, the music and wine pairing was fantastic. Classy, trendy, traditional, humble. Cant wait to come back.

Service and food were both absolutely incredible, obviously $100 isnt cheap for sushi but in my opinion the experience at least once is amazing. Specifically the otoro nigiri with uni was life changing. Highly recommend

Fantastic omakase experience, the chef was sociable, friendly, and had amazing stories of his travels to Portugal sourcing local fish, olive oil, wines etc. The fish was sublime, some were imported from Portugal too. Recommend opting into the wine pairing option as the chef had personally selected them for the nigiri portion of the dinner. By far one of the best omakase experiences, will be a returning customer.

An incredible experience from start to finish. The food was so delicious and fresh, and every plate was perfectly thought out and executed with much care. The chef is so friendly and engaging which made our dinner even better. The wine pairing was spot on and complimented each dish, highly suggest going with this option, and definitely try to book a spot at the bar. We will be back. Highly, highly recommend this lovely omakase gem.

I did the wine pairing and thought it was a fun selection overall. Really interesting to see sushi paired to wines. Value was good and experience was great overall. They were very attentive. I will definitely be coming back. Also great midtown location, I hate going downtown.

Delicious food, excellent service, very reasonably priced. Will go back again for sure

Very delicious for all kinds of fresh sashimi and chef provided surprise for birthday boy an extra special delicious piece of Toro with Uni, so yummy and amazing thank you chef

Not the best service here.. at least not as an Omakase Restaurant. The food is not the best but nice quality. Overall it seems like they don t care about your business. After we paid with the machine, they didn t come grab the machine back nor said anything to us or have any eye contact with us - even though the session for that time was finished. We stood there for a few minutes and still nothing, so we just walked out ourselves. FYI, tips % starts from 18% and higher, which also doesn t make sense as it was already priced at $100+ per person BECAUSE it is Omakase. No interaction from the chef either.

We did an omakase dinner and the fish was extremely fresh and garnished perfectly. The pace of service was also amazing and the ice cream was the best coconut taro ice cream I ve ever had!! Would definitely bring more friends and family

Quality beats quantity every time

I recently dined at Shunoko Omakase Restaurant in Toronto with my wife and our 7-year-old daughter, and it was fantastic. The food was excellent, with every dish tasting amazing. The prices were very reasonable for the quality. During our visit, our daughter accidentally broke a wine glass. The staff quickly made sure everything was safe and clean, so we didnt have to worry. Overall, Shunoko is a great place to eat. The food is delicious, the prices are good, and the service is excellent. Well definitely be back!

Amazing omakase in Midtown Toronto at a fantastic price point.

By far the best sushi in Toronto. We tried most of the fancy places and none was as good as shunoko. The Omakase is amazing with quality fish from Japan. We live in montreal and we look forward to going to Shunoko every time we re in Toronto. It s a must

Very nice sushi and service!

Nice sushi and services. 17courses, I love tartare tuna and oturo with urchin. $100 pp for dinner, worth it!

Great experience and interesting delicious flavours

I had the omekase dinner with my friend. My favourite sashimi was the kurodai (seabream). The hirame (olive flounder) sushi was also very refreshing and tasty. Service was decent. I appreciate that the server moved us from the table to the bar even though I booked the wrong table setting by mistake. We had a very nice experience and will come back again

Superb value for high quality omakase. The amberjack was to die for. A real treat in the neighborhood!

Lovely jazz music and more modern omakase and is amazing for the price. You get 2 appetizers, 12 pieces of nigiri, a hand roll, soup and ice cream. All the fish were fresh and a la carte is available too

This was my first omakase and definitely one to remember. I really loved trying all the different fishes that I d normally wouldn t go for. They started on time so make sure you re there early or it might take a while as it was taking quite a while for them to bring items to the table side. There was definitely a lot sushi so in my opinion it is a great bang for your buck. It was a really small intimate spot so it felt quite cozy . My favourites were the otoro and the taro ice cream I would ve came back just for the ice cream if they sold it separately!!

Best omakase and wine pairing experience we ve had so far! The chef and waitress provided friendly and excellent service. Similar to all the previous reviewers, this is the best value omakase. For a guaranteed great date night, this is the spot!

Affordable omakase in Toronto. The chef explains what you re eating and even where it is sourced from. Pleasant experience, took about 1 hour for 16 courses. Chef is super friendly and humble. Highly recommend!

Fantastic and one of a kind restaurant! Creative food and preparing process are amazing!

Shunoko is the next best thing for omakase in Toronto. I hate to say it but Shunoko can raise their price from $100 to $130 a head and they will still see me eagerly making reservations for their incredible omakase; for now, $100 for what they offer is simply a steal. Shunoko offers simple quality ingredients and expertly crafted nigiri. We start with a sample of sashimi, each one offering unique flavours that highlight the quality of the individual fish. Then a tuna tartare with puffed rice served on nori. After these appetizers comes 12 nigiri, most notable pieces are the kanpachi, botan ebi and the otoro, but honestly each piece shined in its own way. Finishing the meal off we have a small veggie handroll and a fish miso broth, ending with a taro ice cream that really emphasizes the taro. We also got a bonus kanpachi at the end and an unagi for the birthday folks. Wine pairing was also available for a measly $34 dollars for a tall pour of riesling to start, and a smaller pour of 3 other distinct white wines. The wine tasting (not pictured) was not bad but I would probably enjoy a sake pairing instead. As per any omakase, the bar seat is the best way to experience the restaurant ambiance and the chefs work. Make a reservation and you wont be disappointed.

My wife and I had dinner at Shunoko to celebrate our first anniversary and it was a truly memorable experience. Our waiter and the chefs made us feel welcome as soon as we entered and despite the strong recommendation to be seated at the sushi bar, we chose a table for the omakase for a more intimate celebration and they were happy to accommodate. The omakase experience was absolutely incredible. Each course was given an introduction to ensure we were familiar with what we were about to enjoy, and the quality of the fish and ingredients was top notch. Some pieces melted in our mouths, with the chefs allowing the natural flavor of the fish to shine through, while others had an accompaniment (garlic, or truffle for example) that allowed us to enjoy an explosion of flavor, but balanced in such a way that doesnt mask the fish. The chefs carefully planned the experience and orchestrated the ordering of course like a masterful conductor guiding a symphony of flavors. On top of the fantastic meal I couldnt possibly say anything better about, the chefs and waiter were thoughtful enough to treat us to an extra course of BBQ eel that came with a candle as a celebration of our anniversary and it was truly appreciated. It started to get a bit busy prior to us finishing dinner, so we quickly departed after finishing our meal and I regret not taking a moment to show my appreciation for the experience the chefs and our waiter have clearly put a lot of thought and passion into, so if you see this, my wife and I couldnt thank you enough for the amazing meal, thank you!

Amazing omakase and at this price, youd be losing money by not eating here. Almost.

Would highly recommend. Have had countless positive experiences.

10/10 experience, shunokos omakase value cant be beat

Most worth it experience, bang for your buck. Written by sushiGPT.

Very fresh and delicious sushi.

Fantastic omakase experience! For $100, the quality that you get is top-notch. Some of our favorites were the tuna tartare, botan ebi, otoro, and taro ice cream. Definitely recommend the wine pairing as well. Generous pours for $34. We ended up getting a couple of items afterwards as well and really enjoyed the Cant Go Wrong maki roll. Service was also great. Cant wait to go back!

The Omakase was absolutely phenomenal! I have never had such a flavourful meal in my life! Absolute perfection!

Best value Omakase in the city hands down. The quality and portion size cannot be beaten for $100. Every piece was fantastic and fresh. The flavours and textures were on point. I recommend Shunoko to anyone who wants to have Omakase without breaking your bank account.

It was my second time Omakase with my husband. I found four fishbones from one piece of sushi. We ve tried few omakase places in Toronto but never experienced fishbones. I was very disappointed by the owner s attitude. There was no apology, he didn t even come to our table. The server just brought us a free sashimi plate. I was so satisfied with the first omakase that I returned with my husband. While eating, I was very surprised to see four thorns coming out of one piece of sushi. It looks small in the picture, but it was a very thick thorn and it pierced my gums, causing it to bleed. It could be really dangerous if a child swallowed it. When I told the server, there was no apology and he didnt seem surprised. After a while, he brought me a free sashimi plate, saying it was the chefs service. I had already lost my appetite, so I gave in to my husband, and what we wanted was not a free service, but an apology. I paid $300, including tip, and the chef didnt even look at me until then, which was very disappointing.

It was an unbelievable experience at Shunoko Toronto. Thank you so much for all your sharing and kindness. The best of best omakase

Its restaurants like Shunoko that remind me how truly amazing the Toronto food scene is! Without flying to Japan, we can have a top notch omakase menu. We sat at the bar in front of the chefs. In my opinion the bar offers the best seats of the house. Our chef was so friendly and he made the experience special for us.

Amazing sushi! And their home made soy sauce is the best.

I used to be a regular at Sushi Nomi. It was one of my faves. They have really outdone themselves with this place. Fish is perfection. Service polished. Everything is great.

Everything here was incredible. This place is easily the best Japanese food on St Clair (sorry Nama, Kibo, etc...). The rolls are out of this world (omg the toasted coconut one) and the sushi... my word. You know its good when the server tells you not to add wasabi or dip it in soy. Loved it!

Had the chefs choice platter; expensive but DELISHIOUS! worth it, worth it, worth it!

Outstanding sushi! A true gem Im corso Italia. Definitely pricey but worth it for the quality

Wow. Amazing experience. I cant believe I have a legit omakase so close to home. Very cozy place with friendly and attentive staff. Food was very fresh, high quality and delicious.

This is the evolution of Sushi Nomi. The original spot was a super small take out counter at the base of Roncesvalles. It had its following and a constant flow of people purchasing their platters and maki sets. It was one of the rare places where you can find interesting fish beyond the typical tuna, salmon, and red snapper AND it didnt cost you a fortune. This new spot on St.Clair is quite a bit bigger than the previous spot. It has at least 10 tables of varying sizes in addition to the sushi bar in front of the chef. It is quite spacious and if they really wanted to, they could squeeze in a few more tables. Thankfully they didnt and they let the minimalist zen like decor also be held in the atmosphere. Soft jazz plays in the background which just adds to a nice soothing night. I highly recommend doing reservations. When I was there, it was a constant line up of walk ins hoping for a table. As for the service, we lucked out and it was very good. There was the primary hostess who also did triple duty as main waitress and food runner. SHE WAS BUSY but she also super sweet, thoughtful, and attentive. She either cleaning, speaking to different tables, or checking in on those who already received their dishes. There were a few others helping but no one was the star player like her. Their menu is easy to read but definitely ask for the daily specials. They regularly have fish flown in from Tsukiji Market in Tokyo. Sometimes theyll have a lot of varieties and theyre so unique to 95% of what Toronto sushi spots offer. Sashimi B set - For only $35, this sashimi set has 24 pieces of 12 different fish. That is so rare in Toronto. Usually theyll only say 7 types of fish ... 8 if youre lucky. So when this platter arrived on the table, it was beautiful. Not only were the slices clean and well portioned, the colours and different sauces they added to the fish were just a great touch. We were also blessed to see we got 30 pieces of 15 different fish! This was just unexpected and we were very grateful to try even more. Of the 15, only 5 were common (salmon sake, tuna maguro, fluke hirame, black sea bream kurodai, and yellowtail hamachi). We also got sea bass, spanish mackerel, horse mackerel, red sea bream, striped jack, amber jack ... and others I cant even remember. Many of the fishes were really good. Some were supple and smooth... others were meaty and had a rich bold flavour. There was only one was just a bit unusual for me. I never knew a fish could be crunchy. Not my favourite but appreciated that I got to try it. I loved this set especially for the price point. Just well done overall. 4.5/5 Coconut Spicy tuna roll - This was a fun and interesting roll. If you love textures, this one youd might like a lot. It has finely minced tuna in a mild spicy sauce with avocado. Then it is finely rolled up altogether and then covered in crispy popped rice and roasted coconut flakes. The added crisp and crunchy pieces kept it interesting. Flavour wise, I liked how their spicy tuna wasnt mayo filled but the roasted coconut was distractedly sweet. Im not sure the added sweetness worked for me. 3.5/5 Afterflood roll - This is a solid choice for anyone who likes maki rolls. Filled with asparagus, cucumber, creamy avocado, and spicy crab, its then topped with 7 types of fish and avocado. It is a pretty looking roll with lots of colour and the addition of the green onion. Its not as spicy as the spicy tuna filling... just a hint of spice. I think this worked well overall. 4/5

A true 5 star! I made a reservation for a Friday night and it was needed. Restaurant has minimal seating and fills up quick. Servers are prompt and are open to talk about the menu. We ordered 10 pieces each of the chefs choice, salmon sushi, house rolls, and some sashimi. The chefs choice is beautifully served a few pieces at a time. Each fish is named to you. DELICIOUS. Such high quality and really enjoyable. The price point is also amazing! We both walked out stuffed and had a beer each for under $100! I cannot reccomend this restaurant enough. I live across town but I will keep coming back!

Had an amazing time with friends here

Omg the food was to die for!! Im not a huge fan of rolls but on a recommendation from the server (who was lovely) we had the cant go wrong & coconut spicy tuna... Outstanding! We also had salmon and tuna sushi and they were both like buttah!!! Its NOT expensive for what you get.. The only drawback is their location but hey Im just glad they exist!!!! Xo

Im feeling very lucky a friend recommended Shunoko, so so fresh and wonderful and reasonably priced. The quality to price ratio is of the charts! I know, hyperbolic but its truly the case. A must visit!

A step above the other sushi places on St Clair

Simply amazing. Must try for sushi lovers.

Wonderful addition to a fantastic neighborhood

Its usually a hyperbole when someone says it, but definitely the best Sushi Ive had in my life. Order Omakase, dont bother with the menu!

Best sushi Ive ever had in Toronto! Unique flavours, fresh fish, and a lot of care put into the sourcing and preparation of the food.

Best sushi in the area by far

Absolutely outstanding sushi, impeccable service, in delightfully cozy, new digs. They clearly put careful thought into the handmade ceramic serving dishes, the sleek sushi counter, and the interwoven unfinished beams overhead - so many tasteful details in this new location. And again, thats on top of really, truly incredible sushi (outstanding rice, I gotta say... the mark of really great sushi). Vegans will also be pleased with the number of unusual veggie rolls (much more than just avo and cucumber!), like the roasted veggie roll and the shiitake roll. If I lived in Toronto youd find me here weekly.

Great sushi, spacious hang out. A vast variety of sushi, sashimi and rolls to choose from either staples or seasonally available. Each visit is a different experience. Be sure to make a reservation.

Amazing omakase selection and super friendly staff!

Heard of this spot on BlogTo and being a huge sushi lover myself decided to pay it a visit. I went on a sunday with no reservation and was able to get a table in about 10-15 minutes. The place inside was very nice and lucky for me we were able to get a table at the sushi bar. We ordered the Sushi Saiko set with 9 piece sushi and spicy tuna roll. The selection of fish was super fresh, garnished very nicely and I dont remember the name, but the last piece of sushi in my picture was very unique and and probably one of the best sushi pieces I have had outside of sea water eel and toro. The spicy tuna had lettuce in the roll which was not expected but still was good to finish off the set with., One thing preventing the place from getting a 5 star review was the service, the chef was super friendly, but the servers seemed to move very slowly and were not customer centric. They served us our miso soup and salad without having utensils set up on the table. Overall, great sushi spot and for the price it was definitely worth it given the freshness and quality of sushi you are getting, would definitely got back.

Excellent sushi at a reasonable price.

The food is very fresh.

Made a reservation for their special omakase ($90) - great value, and so many varieties of fish served. Highly recommend!!!

The food was very good. The quality of the fish was excellent. The service was also very good. We had omakase and the chef was very attentive. The food came out steadily. I would give it half a star less but theres no option because they do not serve alcohol at this restaurant and it was very bright inside.

Incredible fish quality!

Omakase top notch. Delicious and fresh. Very reasonably priced compared to other omakase in the city. Great experience.

Best sushi place in the neighborhood for sure. Best sushi I had period since a long time. Very pleasant and elefantly minimalist setting prone to the relaxation and enjoyment of their delicious food and service.

The CHIRASHI was delicious

Good value for what you get

this owner use to owned sushi nomi before opening this restaurant, i use to go there alot, becuase the quality and the taste of the sushi and sashimi was top of the class, and also they made right away for their tamago, and even the owner knows who i am. i am writing this bad review because after he opened his new shop call shunoko, everything was horrible. especailly there sushi saiko! they had good flavor and freshness and it was such a good food, however, there sushi got smaller and the quality was horrible, i could smell rotten fish inside my mouth. there shrimp tempura was so tiny and its actually different visual than other place. The tamago i ordered was so cold! they use to make right away for you. so it was fresh and make me think to comeback again. i asked the waitress about the tamgao, is it suppose to be this cold? i told her about i came here because of this food. She talked to the owner and camback saying as a new restaurant, we dont serve fresh tamago no more. and eventhough the owners knows me, he didnt bother look and me.THE OWNER BECAME SO GRUDGE WITH THE MONEY, HE NOW DOESNT THINK ABOUT THE TASE, QUALITY AND THE SERVICES! I WOULD NEVER GOING TO THAT PLACE! THERE OTORO WAS $12 A PIECE AND TASTE AWFUL AND I THOUGHT I WAS CHEWING GUM BECUSE THERE WAS SO MANY TENDONS . PLEASE DO NOT GO THERE! I RATHER YOU GO TO OTHER RESTAURANT THAT I HAVE IN MY REVIEW PROFILE. (near bay and dundas call yu**ka)they use sam fish but everythings better there! P.S. THE WAITRESS DOENST EVEN KNOW WHAT FISH SHE IS SERVING, SHE EXPLAIN WITH THE PIECE OF NOTE AND CANT EVEN EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS

Meal was good, the rice didnt seem quite right. The fish balls were great and I think the sashimi plate was great value. I wasnt really into the black cod but my gf enjoyed it. Worth another try in the future .

Ordered: Miso, Edamame, Spidey Roll, Sashimi, Steamed Rice, Kappa and Dynamite Roll. The Spidey Roll is remarkable and a great option for sushi-lovers as well as those who are unsure or trying it out for the 1st time. Sashimi is stellar. Some have a subtle fine citrus, others have a perfect hint of smokiness. It is not fishy in aroma or flavour. The texture is clean and smooth. The vibe of the space is fitting for a nice date. My only feedback is that the combination of the floor and table legs is terrible. The slightest lean on the table sends it rapidly sliding forward, requiring one to constantly pull the table back into place... or anchor the table in place with one foot. Other than that... Shunoko is as close as I can get to tantalizing sushi gratification in Toronto. First time in 5 years I have found sushi that rivals my Vancouver-sushi experiences.

This is one of the few Japanese sushi restaurant that has real wasabi from the wasabi plant. Actually, first we came across in Toronto! We ordered Cant go wrong roll--which was delish--sashimi set that had very fresh smooth and tasty sashimi, avocado roll with fresh avocado, and otoro. Everything tasted good and service was excellent! Definitely not the cheapest place but you get what you pay for: good service and great sushi! (We went with our kids and there were few other tables with young ones...tho we want to try going by ourselves next time.)

Best sushi restaurant in Toronto! Enjoyed tasting every piece by piece. You must try its Omakase!!:)

Wow. Hands down one of the best sushi in town. Freshness is beyond belief. Prices are reasonable considering the quality of fish we are being served. Barracuda, Otoro, blue fin tuna, uni,.... Umm.... Not the usual sushi dinning experience in the city. Thank you for the delightful menu!

This restaurant has top quality sushi. The venue is very pleasant and simple.

They carry many types of fish. Good value for the $25 sushi set. My friend ordered the $35 sashimi set but small slices portion. The popular deep-fired fish balls were over cooked a bit. Cozy place for friends gathering lunch & dinner.

Sitting for 30 minutes without food

They have become my benchmark . Ive yet to come across sushi with their freshness and quality. Homemade wasabi and soy sauce play a part, i am sure.

Very happy to find a local place that focuses on sustainable fish at a good price. Look forward to trying out more different kinds of fish the next time

Excellent. I ordered Inari, ume shiso, unavo ans octopus sashimi. Inari was sweet and delicious. Ume shiso was the perfect summer flavor with sourness from the plum and nuttyness from shiso. Unavo was flavourful and delicate. Lastly, the octopus was tender and soft. I can never go back to eating waxy octopus sashimi.

Top notch. Best Ive ever had

Delicious, fresh, local and excellent selection!

I grew up in Vancouver where quality sushi abounds. This is by far the best sushi Ive had in Toronto, and among the best in my life. It was very busy when I went, so make a reservation!

Best sushi west side thus far. Finally. Creative rolls, fresh ingredients and a solid menu for a small restaurant that only has a few chairs for the dine in option. All its missing is a beer and wine option.

Very good

Provide tiny dinning tables/chairs and free self-served green tea and water. Price is above average for the similar restaurant category. No washroom provide. Cash or debit only.

A minimalist setting with clean, fresh architectural lines. It only recently opened, and when you walk in you can still smell the new wood, but it quickly recedes into the background. The service (read server) was demure, attentive and efficient. The food was definitely above average, and the ingredients were very fresh. For other parents, my preteen really enjoyed it, and well definitely go back to explore more items on the menu.

Authentic, ultra fresh sushi. Best sunomono salad I have had, including real crab and octopus. Charming staff. Highly recommend.

quiet, clean, delicious food and excellent service! parking wasnt hard to find and had overall great time.

This is my personal favorite sushi place, they use finely diced lettuce in there rolls instead of cucumber which appeals more to me. Also they make a killer soy sauce.

Recently went to Shunoko on St. Clair and their sushi was so fresh and well made. You can tell the ingredients and fish are of high quality. Were so happy with this new restaurant addition on St. Clair!

A small but a relaxed place to enjoy sushi. I had 2 orders of spicy salmon roll and it was amazing. I dont feel being hurried at all while dining here. Staff are friendly and accomodating. Prices are just right. May i say that it felt i had an authentic sushi. They offer wide variety of sushi which is great.. Will definitely come back here..

Outstanding sushi place. Mostly set up for take out, but there are a few seats for eating in. Real cozy. I had the sushi sekai set. This is really good sushi. This is the kind of place where the chef has applied the correct amount of wasabi to your nigiri and brushed it with the perfect amount of shoyu, then topped with a few flower petals, or a piece of shiso leaf, or a few tiny slivers of red onion. The kind of place where they care about the balance of flavour in every bite. Fresh fish from Tsukiji is sometimes available too. Friendly casual vibe, really good execution. Its a good time.

Best sushi in Toronto with reasonable prices

Quality ingredients and excellent service . Selection was impressive carrying several unique offerings. Will be back again.

I know this restaurant is one of top sushi restaurant in Toronto. They recently moved to st clare west from Roncesvalles. This is one of new dish black cod is marinated by miso and finish with their special sauce. Highly recommend!!!

They have some very budget friendly sets. However I ordered from their a la carte menu. It worked out to be not cheap but the quality is superb. I will come back again to try other items. Their prawn tempura rolls are must-try.

Very good

Always amazing. My favourite sushi spot in Toronto.

Sad to discover this place knowing its location is changing. I was able to change the toasted coconut spicy tuna to spicy salmon and it was delicious.

Very high qual

Best sushi place on Roncesvalles.

To much veg in many rolls. I didnt realize lettuce had a strong taste until I found it in the sushi at nomi

Very cozy space, with seating for 4. Advantage to this is that the chefs can focus on preparing your meal expertly. Nice variety of fish to satisfy. Get the Sushi Saiko set- best bang for your buck.

One of the top sushi restaurants in the city, now at a new location and name change from Nomi to Shunoku Sushi.

Toronto s best sushi. Fresh fish and great selection. This former hidden gem on Roncy is even better as a full restaurant on St. Clair.

This is a take-out sushi restaurant with only a few seats by the window.

Best sushi in TO. Served with real care.

The sushi is okay. I only had the pre packaged sushi, so I wasnt expecting much.

Definitely some of the best sushi Ive had in Toronto. The fish seems very fresh and all of the dishes are very well balanced. The price is fairly reasonable as well. No alcohol is served (maybe coming in the future?) The space itself is very minimal and aesthetically pleasing. It was very busy when we came. Would definitely recommend making a reservation and be prepared for a slower, more leisurely meal.

The time I went, I was very disappointed, the sushi was not fresh and their tea was horrible.

Saiko special is the best value and top quality omokase Ive had other than at Zen or Kaji etc, at a fraction of the price- I hope they still offer it once they move to St. Claire

Best sushi on the west end, fresh fish, expertly cut. Delicious and reasonably priced for the quality. In comparison to the other sushi joints around this place blows them out of the water. If you want massively better fish for maybe $10 bucks more head here, if you want junk fish and want to save $10 bucks head elsewhere.

Really great quality and choices! One of the best places for sushi in the city. I ordered the spicy salmon roll and mackerel roll. Not too much rice, which was made well, and the filling was flavourful!

Super tasty and fresh.

Excellent quality sushi. Fresh sashimi from Tsukiji, Tokyo. Real wasabi stem and homemade shouyu. Sugoi oishiikatta! The owner was very generous to us.

Excellent

Great place for takeout.

This place is a gem. The freshest, highest quality sushi Ive had in the city. Sushi lovers rejoice!

Some of the best sushi I have had in the area and the homemade wasabi is delish. Only downsides are that its a tad pricey and there is very limited seating. Even so, I couldnt bring myself to remove a star because the sushi is bomb.

Amazing sushi thats reasonably priced. Not your typical neighborhood take out sushi place. The selection of fish is comparable to the fancier sit down sushi places in Toronto. Plus the wasabi is fresh ground. How can you beat that?

Incredible sushi spot. Fish is extremely fresh, service is great and the value is incredible. Highly recommend the Tuna Tataki starter and the Sushi Saiko - 9 pieces of different Nigiri along with a spicy tuna roll. The iceberg lettuce in the roll is a different but welcome change from the typical avocado. Comes together perfectly. I generally avoid eating Mackerel given it can be a bit overwhelming, but the mackerel here was some of the best Ive ever had. Kanpachi, Tuna, Seabream were also amazing... The Butter on fire roll was excellent but they are a bit heavy handed with the garlic/butter sauce that goes on top, IMO. If you have a group, this is a great roll to get, but I wouldnt want more than a couple pieces given how rich it is. You arent going to get Yasu level quality, but you also are paying waaaaaaay less. Shunoko is the best bang-for-the-buck sushi spot in Toronto hands down.

I came here with a few friends on a Wednesday night. It is a cute small cozy place. The food was not bad. The price was fair for the quality that you get. However, I rate this restaurants 3 stars only because of the poorly run operation. We waited nearly 40 minutes for our food even when the restaurant was not very busy. We had a brand new server who didnt seem well trained. Our orders got all mixed up, more than once. In fact, the chef had given me the the wrong item 3 times in one night. Our server was very apologetic with all the mishaps, but I expect more from a restaurant. Although food was good, I would not come back due to the headaches.

You have to visit it!

Wow this place is AMAZING! The fish tastes so fresh, and the coconut spicy roll is hands down the best sushi roll Ive ever had! Im a California native, and as a west coaster Ive been very finicky with sushi and disappointed by most places Ive tried, Im so happy to find shunoko. Check it out, you will not be disappointed!

Best sushi in Roncy. The homemade soy sauce is incredible so ask for extra.

The best sushi Ive ever had and impeccable service from the sushi chef. Its so delicious that I came back twice in one weekend!

Fantastic sushi for the price. Probably the best value for sushi in the city. We got the Sushi Saiko that included 9 special nigiri and a spicy tuna roll. The speciality fish are more unique types depending on the season and straight from Japans Tsukiji Market. We also got the Rainbow Roll which was full of flavour and a really good portion. The place is very small, but quaint so mostly focuses on take out. For such a small hidden gem they provide a pretty authentic experience.

Had an excellent experience ordering sushi delivery from Nomi. Fair prices, fresh fish, and tasty rolls. The tuna roll with coconut was unique and we really enjoyed it. This will become my go-to sushi delivery spot.

The freshest sushi I have ever had. Insanely delicious and the chefs are sushi artists! Would definitely come back to get my sushi fix. Service was incredible as well. So happy to have found this gem!

Holy moly. Very tasty. 5 stars!

Fresh, high quality, well priced sushi. Beautiful new restaurant - this used to be called Sushi Nomi which was located in Roncesvalles, and it has now evolved into a beautiful sit-down restaurant. Gorgeous minimalistic decor in a cosy but bright space. Staff are very friendly. This is one of the best sushi restaurants in Toronto. If you re looking for well priced, high quality sushi with a diverse variety of fish, then is the place to go. (They even fly in fresh fish from the famous Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo!). I will be coming back regularly.

Honestly not great sushi. It was not fresh, and they used lettuce to fill the roll instead of avocado and cucumber... A little odd if you ask me.

Quick service, good sushi.

Come here every other week, love the staff here they are amazing love the food!

Among the best sushi restaurants in Toronto

For the price, Shunoko is an absolutely amazing omakase experience. I especially loved the mackerel, scallop, king salmon, and the chicken grunt nigiri pieces. The fish was so good that we ordered an additional sashimi platter, which was fantastic. Really liked how the meal ended with the umeboshi - which was great palate cleanser before the tamago (delicious) and scoop of ube ice cream (amazing). Thank you chef and staff for a great meal. Shunoko is now my go-to spot for sushi. Well definitely be back soon!

A great casual omakase experience. The food was great, the service was nice, and the value for quality is honestly one of the best you ll get in the city ($100 each). All the fish tasted fresh and tastings were charming and delicious. It s not the same as a higher end omakase in terms of unique dishes or atmosphere. However I d absolutely come here more often than a fancy one just to get a really enjoyable dinner without the stuffiness. I would ve preferred not sitting with children but parents need to eat too :)

First time dining. Blew my non existent expectations for this place. Truly an amazing dining experience if you focus just on quality ingredients and execution in the omakase. Makes me miss the subtle dining experiences I had in Kyoto. New go to spot in North York area.

New to the Lawrence Park neighbourhood, but was previously a great establishment at St. Clair West. Food is fantastic, we had the Omakase with wine pairing. Incredible value, and Im sure it will become increasingly more popular in this area.

The freshest sushi in all of Toronto. Nothing makes me happier then having the opportunity to dining in. Brought my kids this evening and they welcomed us and took such good care of us. Restaurant is small so always make a reservation. Be prepared to be blown away by the quality of all of the food. Favourite restaurant in Toronto.

Was our families favorite sushi spot at their old location on St.Clair and we re thrilled when they relocated to the Bedford Park neighborhood. The fish is so fresh you cannot compare Shunoko to the other local sushi spots. It is beyond them by miles in terms of quality, presentation, freshness. The quality is more comparable to the neighboring Shoushin but for a fraction of the price. We generally opt for ordering a la carte though the omakase is great value. Highly recommend!

Light jazz in the background, friendly and relaxed service... good omakase with high value and a generous alcohol pairing. Great for a nice date. Dont sleep on their rolls (great maki with higher end ingredients!) -- the Cant Go Wrong Roll was scrumptious. I recommend the $30 alcohol pairing. Loved the iwashi! Its hard to get this quality at this price point in the city.

We had a lovely omakase dinner at Shunoko at the sushi counter. The chef was great always introducing the items and we did the wine pairing which was great. Standouts were the scallop with truffle, sardines, mackerel and otoro. Definitely would go back.

Best sushi i ve ever had in my life

Don t walk, run to this amazing experience where the food is sublime and the ambiance is light, relaxing and as pleasant as a warm summer evening.

Great food and service

Highly recommend this omakase experience especially for the price! Sit at the bar to watch the chef cook. The fish was so fresh and the wine pairing was phenomenal!

All great except for the chairs. Highly uncomfortable, it needs to be changed.

Incredible value for omakaze

Hidden gem of an omakase experience - each piece was fantastic.

The beautiful taste of simplicity To take that which is simple, basic, pure and to bring out it s most subtle yet profound flavors is a difficult task. As ironic as it sounds, simplicity is truly a difficult element to tame, nevertheless, it is an element which this chef has mastered. To take something as simple as rice, and bring it to its height of flavor. To take an ordinary fish and reveal the panorama of aromas and savors that lay inside. And to then make all these elements dance on the tip of your tongue. From something as basic as the soy sauce even to the most delicate fish each and every ingredient chosen with care, and, more importantly, with purpose. I highly highly recommend this place.

Excellent from start to finish. Incredible value for an omakase experience, you won t find a better omakase for less money anywhere in the city. Fish selection was fresh, varied, and expertly prepared and the rice well-seasoned with perfect texture. Highlights were the ishgakidai, sardine, and botan ebi with a house-made dehydrated powder from the shells and head. Clean and unassuming interior and service. Will not be surprised if prices go up quickly - incredible omakase value here for $100.

Tried the omakase menu here. In terms of value its probably one of the best in the city. Everything was well made and fresh with meticulous detail and attention. Some of the pieces were not to my taste and some were excellent and delicious but overall it was an interesting experience trying uncommon fish and ingredients. Their pricing is fair and its quite a lot of food. The whole service takes around 2 hours so schedule accordingly. I dont know if that is slow or fast for an omakase menu.

We were regulars at their old location on St. Clair, and are thrilled to see the new space. The sushi was phenomenal, just as we remembered it to be. We ordered the nigiri 10 + a few a la carte pieces.

Not a fan of this place. Overpriced and very mediocre. Service is lacking. The decor and atmosphere are very underwhelming for a restaurant that is supposed to be higher end. There s way better sushi in the city. Their hand rolls are average at best and their sushi rolls are poor quality. I don t think the chefs are good enough. I m surprised they are still in business to be honest with the price they charge for the experience they give.

Fair price for omakase. The chef selected sashimi from different countries and added a touch of flavour so that the freshness and original flavour can be savoured.
