Snug Japanese eatery featuring rolls made with haiga (half-milled) rice, hot dishes & bento boxes.
the food was so good we were gonna take a picture before but we couldn’t stop ourselves from eating the second it came. devoured in less than five minutes. very welcoming and zen #namaste #wlw
I love it here. Lots of room, it has 6 big tables. Washrooms are very clean. Food is delightful. Great menu. You won't be disappointed. Everything is fresh, and portions are large.
Kawa Sushi is my new favourite sushi haunt. This is my third visit here and the food, service, and price point is spot on. I highly recommend this restaurant to add to your regular dining out!
Was great, ate the Friday 2 x Dragon Roll special and it was delicious! Great service as well!
Cute and clean sushi place perfect for a quick lunch. Ordered the sushi and sashimi combo for two and came out great! First time having grilled eggplant and honestly it did not disappoint. The flavor is great and the eggplant itself was cooked just right! Def recommend this place if u r craving a quick meal of sushi without hurting your wallet.
I absolutely loved the plum wine. We ordered the takoyaki, edamame, volcano roll, spicy crunchy tuna roll, braised pork rice bowl, and the beef teriyaki. The portions were great sizes, the prices were fair, and the service was top notch. 10/10. If I come back to Canada again, I will def be eating here.
Arigatou ありがとう! A nice little sushi joint, the service was efficient and speedy, delivering real tasty grub from super friendly staff. The sushi tested fresh and was served quickly, whilst plentiful. Although it wasn't the yummiest sushi I ever had, it's certainly on par with others in the area and offers a great menu variety of hot and cold dishes with reasonable prices so I wouldn't hesitate to return when in the area. A yummy Salmon Bento and Salmon Combo, would definitely recommend. Support local businesses!
I usually never go online looking for space to leave reviews but this place deserves it all. A first time sushi explorer, I loved my dining experience at this place. The owner of the place herself goes around making sure you are taken care of. The energy she brings with the food is a game changer and you would rarely experience this warmth and amazing energy at most of the restaurants.
Amazing place
Awesome restaurant and food!
Very friendly staff , delicious food. Will come back again for sure Food
Friendly service. Portions were perfect... hidden jem on Church Street.

Great place!
We have been here several times and the food is always very good, the portions are good and we are always served very kindly. I highly recommend this place.
The owner is friendly and accommodating. Food is good. Food
I dont know what has happened here. I was once a regular and left a 5 star review. Last 3 orders, the quality was noticebaly lower, and now I receive orders with no soy suace, no chopsticks. Thats a basic fundamental. I hope I can return again and leave the 5 stars but after multiple issues, it will be some time, thats for sure.
We ordered delivery form Uber one time, and the food was terrible. The rice was hard, like it was from the fridge or something, and they used too much sugar so it tasted sweet. Some of the fish was okay but some of it was just barely fresh enough to be eatable. Also, the all the rolls were squished to one side of the container and like, deformed. That might have been the Uber drivers fault though.
We ordered late one night after just getting to the city after a long commute. They offer late hours which is wonderful. The sushi was great and everyone in our group enjoyed our late dinner. There was a minor issue with the order, but Ocean rectified the situation without hesitation.
Friendly staff and great portions & prices
Amazing, reliable sushi in the downtown area!! The sushi is always delicious & fresh & affordable. A go-to spot in the area for sure. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and pescatarian options
My favorite sushi in the city!
Nice boutique place with great sushi. Its been a few months since I was last here and they have added some nice specials. They have a edamame dish for free with a review
Nice and warm place to enjoy dinner
The food is amazing, great variety, super fresh and tasty.. Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian menu Food : 5/5 |
Good value for money
Great food
Enjoyed the food, server was really nice!
Great service! I made a mistake on my online order and then called the restaurant right after. They were happy to help me out and fixed my problem. The food is delicious too and I will continue to order from them!
Very friendly and helpful. I recommend the dynamite rolls!
Been to Kawa Sushi a few times now, and it s become a favourite for the whole family! The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming. The sushi is delicious, and quick service. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a warm, inviting dining experience!
Kawa Sushi is hands down my favourite sushi spot in Toronto! The sushi is incredibly fresh, and the rolls are always beautifully presented. The staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit enjoyable. Don t miss their signature rolls absolutely delicious! Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic sushi!
This has become my favourite Sushi Place in Toronto so far. The food is so good with a special chef Touch. Staff are friendly and very attentive. Oshim is so welcoming and attentive. Food : 5/5
Salmon and Hamachi sashimi and spicy salmon crunchy rolls were great! Large portions and the price was right!
Kawa is a staple to my Monday night dinner. I come here often and am always greeted with a smile and great service. A must try item is definitely the rainbow poke bowl or deluxe dragon roll! Kawas cute atmosphere is great for a date night and quickie next door at the eagle. The food is always great but the dessert is quick and close by
Good food and a great price. Nice big windows to eat in front of and people watch as well!
Great selection of tasty food for a great price!
Great yummy sushi at great prices!
Cute delicious sushi place
We had a lovely meal!
great sushi and a cozy atmosphere. i love sitting by the window. the sushi was well made and big!
cute lil sushi place :)
Second time eating at the restaurant and I come back for their aburi spicy salmon roll ! Quaint neighborhood worth treasuring !
Yummies edamames and super fresh and tasty sushi !
Great Sushi and couldnt resist posting this. Unfortunately it was a late lunch at 3.00 so no pictures... I didnt dine in but found the place, small and good. Thank you! Vegetarian options: Crunchy Avacado
I love this place! They have great portions, the staff is so professional and I m always happy about their promotions.
was becoming a regular and ordered take out, asked for something to be switched out with a cheaper ingredient which my girlfriend has ordered for me before. when i got the order there was a note that said it couldnt be switched, they should have just cancelled or not accepted the order, instead we got no notice or anything. it tasted awful. my girlfriend and i agreed that we wont be ordering or going back.
So good and fresh!
Kawa Sushi impressed me with its fresh avocado roll and crunchy salmon roll. The avocado roll was simple yet satisfying, with creamy avocado wrapped perfectly. The crunchy salmon roll was a standout, with a delightful blend of crispy tempura flakes and rich salmon flavor. Both rolls were fresh and well-made, making for a delicious sushi experience. If you re a fan of these classic rolls, Kawa Sushi is definitely worth a visit!
Good service good taste all good !!
quick delicious food
Ben here a couple times and will be coming back for many more delicous meals in the future. Fast & friendly service , great food -beautifully presented, and fairly priced overall.
Perfect work lunch venue! Delicious food and excellent service!
Great establishment. Staff is extremely kind and food was great quality!! Very reasonably priced for the large portion you got. Even got free chicken bites with our order! The picture shows my 18$ order. Was hard to finish as I got side salad and miso soup. Great ambiance! Definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for great priced great food in downtown Toronto in an inflated market look no further then Kawa!! Parking: Street Parking paid until 9pm then free after
Love this place!

Delicious!! And well priced
Small little place with great services They are a busy little shop so be prepared to wait a little during busy time Food
Best Crazy Tuna Roll!!
The food here is delicious and never disappoints.
Fantastic service and great quality sushi. One of my fave spots downtown.
My favourite Japanese place in Toronto!!! The food is incredible!!!
Love this place! I ve been coming here for a few years now, my favourite item is the chicken teriyaki. They always make it fresh if it s a walk in, so I suggest doing that if possible. Their sushi portions are great too, and I love their miso soup. Overall, it s a pretty solid sushi place if you re craving some, and it s open pretty late as well. It s a staple for me.
Great staff and food
It s a cozy and quite restaurant with chill vibes. It has friendly staff and good service. The price is good for college students. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options!
I ordered from here twice. The first time was excellent but the most recent order tasted stale and old unfortunately.
Great little sushi spot in the village! Great lunch specials.
This is my favorite sushi in Toronto! I recommend it to all my friends! My absolute favorite is salmon sushi with avocado and Philadelphia rolls! Although the other dishes are also great! Clean and friendly!
Beautiful spot, with good service and good food!
One of the best sushi places weve found. We particularly enjoy their vegetarian combo. The sweet potato roll and the mushroom one, included in the combo are delicious.
Love the avacado salmon roll! Service is great.
I saw a promotion from the app and ordered the takeout, the sushi was awesome, good quality and portion. Definitely will come back to dine in.
The food and service here is excellent! It is always fresh and the service is met with very pleasant interaction. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a friendly, down to earth restaurant with yummy food.
Great sushi love this place very high quality of ingredients best sushi with reasonable price really recommend it to friends and family.
I had a business meeting and we had amazing sushi and sashimi. The rolls are so good and exactly how I like them.. less rise and a lot of salmon and avocado inside! Its ine if the best I had. Will defiantly return. Vegetarian options: Great vegan options!
It s not really two for one on Uber eats if you put one container worth of miso soup in two separate containers. They were only halfway full
Ordered takeout. Packaging was good. Food was OK.
Quality sushi and prompt service for pick-up
Best Sushi stop in downtown Toronto. Must try. 10/10
Good food and great place to people watch
Nice small place, I come here often!
Ordered a party tray and was do delicious.
Best place for dynamite rolls on a tuesday! And the chicken karrage... omg... yum.

10/10 sushi, 10/10 service <3
great katsu and bento boxes. the rice bowls have really big portions. i really liked the salad (which is very rare for me) and the edamame and great service
Kawa is my go-to spot for sushi in the village. Very straight forward menu with lots of variety and everything you could want from a Japanese restaurant. The staff are friendly and kind providing efficient service.
Great food, great service and quick!
Cute place, good food, nice servers!
Wonderful sushi spot! Food is fresh and delicious
Really great homely spot for sushi with many veg options.
Cozy place. Friendly service. Very good sushi. Reasonable prices.

Crazy tuna roll changed my life forever !!
Restaurant Review: Kawa on Church Street When in the village (or anywhere downtown), my go-to sushi spot is always Kawa on Church Street! The food is simply delicious, especially the incredible edamame that I get without a doubt every single time I visit the restaurant or order take out. The staff here are amazing always on the ball & even remembering my order before I do! So friendly & definately adds to the experience 10/10 recommend trying this restaurant out! You wont be disappointed! Dietary restrictions: Great options for gluten free & vegetarians!
Our neighbourhood sushi hangout in the Village. Sushi&sashimi super fresh. Cosy resto dine in... Vegetarian options: cali roll is always a fresh choice
Amazing deals everyday, friendly service, delicious food!!!
Worst place
Visiting country and city, ordered to hotel via Uber Eats Didn t provide chopsticks. Nowhere on the ordering process was there a question of do you need cutlery . So now stuck in a hotel with no way to eat this sushi properly. Called and asked them politely to deliver some and they were rude and unhelpful, stating it s a new policy to not include unless requested and they would not. So once and last time ordering from here. Simple enough to send with delivery courtiers and ask the customer do you need utensils as well? Edit - food is actually not that good. Rolls fall apart with the slightest touch, not well put together at all. And barely any ginger - I don t have much and it ran out 3/4 way through meal
Its alright... Rolls are on the smaller end. Taste can be hit or miss at times. Food : 3/5
The salmon set of sushi was amazing! Great customer service as well!
Awesome service and a great location! Good specials!
Just moved to the village and this is our new sushi go-to! Great food and attentive service. Highly recommend.
The Sushi and service was quite good.
The chicken karaage portion was really big. The sashimi was fresh and the service was really good. Vegetarian options: Salad
Terrible sushi, no soy sauce, no chopsticks sent with order. This place is garbage. Go anywhere else for sushi, I know I will.
best restaurant in Toronto! We cant be without it! top marks in everything Vegetarian options: Everything 100% perfect Kid-friendliness: 1000% We love coming here with family, friends or alone! Its absolutely comfortable
best restaurant in toronto! excellent food and perfect service Vegetarian options: extremely tasty Food : 5/5 |
Have been coming here or ordering from Kawa almost monthly for 7+ years now and the food and service has always been so special. Delicious and so comforting, the sushi is always fresh and the curry feels like a home cooked meal. Get the garlic broccoli.
Amazing service & great specials, highly recommend
I have been taking out from Kawa Sushi over the years. The food is superb and always fresh. The staff is very attentive. I have never had a bad experience and would highly recommend if one is looking for a quick sushi/sashimi/Bento box fix.
Always quick, friendly, and attendant service. Food is amazing, and the lunch menu specials are always worth it Vegetarian options: Options for each menu
Great prices and combos! Friendly staff.
Lovely staff, the shrimp tempura bento box is my favourite. Will definitely return :)
Super tasty! Great affordable sushi at Church and Wellesley!
Amazing quality compared with all other sushi spots Ive tried in Toronto. Everything was fresh. We order regularly. Love it.
Kid-friendliness: Staff is nice. Food
Always consistent and tasty!
Great food, great service
Wow!! What a great food Salmon salmon salmon is really awesome Love it Food : 5/5
Had a few different dishes tonight. Deluxe, green dragon and salmon sashimi was amazing.
Great food and service. Portion size was generous too! Staff were super nice and accommodating and even picked up the phone after closing to answer a question about the bento box we ordered Will def be visiting again for late night cravings
Great place! Great staff! Great price!
Ordered it on Uber Eats first so I had to come back in person because it was that good. #supportlocal
Amazing food! U can get brown rice sushi! For ppl with is sensitive to carbs.. this is amazing choice! The steak beno box is great!
I like how they bring the food flavours together and it s nice portions. The server was nice too.
Affordable price, 15 minute wait. The sushi and rolls are delicious.
Went there at 10pm in the night right before closing. The service was surprisingly good! With the restaurant very clean. The sushi rolls could be more fresh and less mushy, but the cost is low for sushis, so cant complain!
Consistently great!
Got a party tray there with crazy tuna roll, sushi sandwich, tuna avocado roll, big portion size very fresh and tasty, definitely come back again. Services are great too polite and efficient! Love it!
Great place for sushi
Great place!
The place is great super good food and fast service
Great service and fresh sushi will be coming back forsure! The miso soup was tasty.
Everything very delicious and good service. We will definitely come back
Very good deals and promotions. Dine in experience is great. I recommend it!

Great service & atmosphere with delicious food
Most amazing service, very accommodating! Will be back again!
Convenient location with friendly service. The prices are also pretty good for the food
Cozy sushi place with high quality sushi that doesnt try to fill you up with rice.
The experience is very great . I came as a uber driver to pickup the order , service was excellent . Overall a best place to hang out
Ordered online this evening and not impressed. It was a buy one get one free and I have never seen rolls this small before. It as if they packed the same amount of crab into 12 rolls that they d typically put into 6 so you think you re getting double but really you re not because the roles are half the size. They also did not include utensils, and the wasabi was extremely minimal. First and last time I will ever be ordering from this restaurant. You can get the better bang from your buck at monkey sushi or honestly any other place around Toronto.
Amazing taste and great, kind staff!
Great food and great service! Would recommend the crazy tuna roll! 5/5 for people that love sushi
Customer service here is great and the place is cute and organized
Great food and service!
Fresh sushi and good service. Bento box was delicious
Very nice and kind servers. Food price is a tad pricey but understandable under inflation. It has very hearty meals like chicken teriyaki bento sets and refreshing sushi sets. Good place for students and people getting off of work.
DO NOT ORDER FROM UBER FOR THIS RESTAURANT. THEY ARE COMPLETE RIP OFF ARTISTS. On Uber they advertise Buy one get one free offers and then don t send them.
This place is amazing! I order 3-4 times a month and it s always 10/10
I am a regular at this place and aside from the amazing food (I usually get spicy salmon roll + chicken karrage + miso soup) the service is always great. Their sushi is better than most in the city! Don t sleep on this gem. Food
Dietary restrictions: Not fresh sushi Food
Great!
I always love the sushi every time I come here, the fish is fresh & at a very reasonable price. The service is quite attentive & I am always satisfied!
We ordered from this sushi spot and enjoyed every bite!
Great sushi!
Good value for the money. Recommend
Such a nice sushi spot in the village. Cozy and the party platter is so affordable and delicious. Highly recommend.
Good food at a good price.
Excellent experience! I would go back.
Hidden gem, local favourite
Excellent value and atmosphere, always fresh and delicious. My favorite is the yellowtail jalapeño roll
Fast and friendly service. Quality food. Always a go to in church st.
My girlfriend and I order food from here often.. Their prices are great and their food delicious. The staff are always very warm and have a smile on their faces. I would recommend
We ordered Sushi and Sashimi combo, shrimp tempura, black dragon, chicken teriyaki roll as well as spicy tuna roll. Everything was amazing, all fresh. The service was fast and we got our food immediately. Thank you for the service
Great food! The service and chicken teriyaki bento was excellent. Would recommend :) Food : 5/5
Very great experience here. My favourites were the crunchy spicy salmon roll and seared tuna roll. The Chicken karrage also hit
Scam they tell you buy one get one free and in the end when you receive your order you only get one
Amazing crazy tuna roll, very original
Been coming here for years. Great food, wonderful service.
good
The service is not good. The management is very rude when I had to pick up an order. They do not know how treat people respectfully when there is an issue. The food is ok but with bad service, I would not recommend.
Great food options, value and service!
Great food and great atmosphere! The servers were lovely and very friendly. I highly recommend it! Vegetarian options: There is a great choice of vegetarian options!
Quick and delicious
So yummy!!!
Amazing atmosphere and the server was very kind and happy to serve us! Food came out quick and was delicious ! Would definitely recommend!
Great food, clean tables and friendly service. Fav quick meal spot when working. Fresh and worth it ! Kid-friendliness: Quiet, clean and friendly.
Great deals, great service, one of my regular spots!
Came here for the bentobox lunch and sushi lunch! They were both great, service was amazing and food was tasty!
My first time here with my husband and it was a sumptuous food and stellar service from Oshin. I love the ambience of the place. I would recommend the braised pork , mushroom , takoyaki and sushi combos. We would definitely bring our friends next time we visit. Shout out to the kitchen. The food was great!
What on earth. On their website it says brown rice is an additional $0.50. So tell me why they charged $2.50 for brown rice for ONE 6-piece roll? The price was so high we thought they had made a mistake with the order and given us brown rice on all of the sushi rolls. An additional $2.50 for brown rice is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!
If you want to have worst sushi on Church st go here. The staff does not know how to handle the complaint, the owner just walks away in the middle of the conversation, and food quality is terrible.
I had lunch here. Sushi , Sake and Tuna handroll. The service was friendly. I would go back.
I work in Uber and Doordash, and every restaurant has a good taste in food, but this restaurant is my favorite restaurant and I always go to this restaurant. The team is clean and good, they deal with high ethics, and their food is very delicious. I love them very much
Fresh rolls. Really good sushi. We came in at 11pm and ordered 3 rounds. Food was served fast as well.
The service was amazing. The sushi and rolls were great and tasty. Especially off the menu . Great price for quality
delicious every time! the waiter Ocean is so sweet, kind and thoughtful she deserves the whole world. love going here for an affordable date!
Definately the best sushi we ever had!

This will be my go to my placee from now Really good service. Just love this place.
wanted to have something light. Ended up having their mango salad with addition of avocado. It was very fresh and flavourful. The service was very nice too. They gave me their chicken karage to taste on the house, that was very good too. Will definitely order it when I go next time.
