I have ordered here before and it was fine but black avocado and the entire meal rancid is unacceptable. The inside of the bag it was delivered in was soaking wet with water ? Hope so

October 27, 2024

Had to toss everything after finding a fly cooked into the rice. Picked up 2 bento boxes - one with pork katsu and one with teriyaki beef. The meats were both incredibly dry, hard and overcooked. Instead of using thin strips for the beef teriyaki, big chunks of hip, innards, and other tough cheap cuts were used. The pork cutlet was so dry the crust was peeling away from it. And to top it all off, we found a fly in the rice halfway through forcing ourselves through the meal. The miso soup and the tempura was also abysmal, the shrimp tail was entirely black and rotten - even if this was the last meal available on Earth, your digestive tract would never forgive you.

It's so tasty.. I tried it for the first time and loved it. fresh ingredients, quality and good flavour. good price, I paid 2 for 1. there are many promotions on uber eats..

February 15, 2024

The dining experience at this establishment leaves much to be desired. The food disappoints with its lackluster quality; the protein, ostensibly meant to be the highlight, arrives cold and lacking in substance. Even the tempura, a dish known for its crispy texture, falls short, arriving soft and devoid of the desired crunch. Service is notably absent, adding to the overall dissatisfaction. Customers are left to fend for themselves, with no staff present to attend to their needs or address any concerns they may have. The atmosphere only compounds the negative experience. The loud and incessant chatter of the staff disrupts any hope of enjoying a peaceful meal. Moreover, the tables are left in a state of disarray, with dirt and debris detracting from the dining environment. Overall, this establishment fails to meet even the most basic expectations for a pleasant dining experience. From subpar food to nonexistent service and a chaotic atmosphere, it leaves patrons feeling dissatisfied and unlikely to return.

Original review (5 stars): Food: 5/5 Ordered takeout from here, and honestly, I don’t know monkey sushi is consistently rated low on Yelp. From the sushi joints I’ve tried in Toronto so far, albeit not many, this is my go to. For the perfect balance of bang and buck, with their Uber specials, you honestly can’t go wrong. I ordered take out but the aburi salmon is so tasty, same with the salmon sashimi, and the salmon avocado roll. Not sure this is a popular opinion, but I do love this place! Edit on February 24th (3 stars): Used to love this place, but the last 3 times have not been the best honestly. Got it for takeout, so service and ambiance don't apply. Aburi sushi: 4/5 Spicy salmon: 3/5 Salmon sashimi: 3.5/5 The pickup / Uber deals are amazing and so worth it... so honestly, it's still worth it overall, but I feel like the quality used to be significantly better. Still going to order it once or twice more and post a follow up review, if it’s berter again!

Absolutely avoiding this place from now on. We have had their rolls and sushi before. It's not WOW, but it was good. We got a delivery and you can see yourself presentation can be misleading. This is what was wrong with our order: -First couple bites in, food tasted bland. -Started feeling full on a bunch of nothing. 70 percent of the rolls is tempura batter and more tempura bits. (Literally just fried crumbs) -Stomach was feeling icky. -Checked their shrimp inside rolls (they were undercooked) -Certain parts of the rolls felt and tasted STALE. -AGAIN, we got more tempura batter than shrimp.(Pictures as proof) TL;DR : Undercooked, stale food, filled with tempura batter to make it look appealing/larger size. Had to toss to the garbage more than half This wasn't a cheap meal either. $65

I had the pleasure of trying multiple times the sushi at Monkey Sushi and I must say it was good! The sushi was fresh and the quality price was fair. The staff was friendly and helpful always. The atmosphere overall is relaxed and inviting. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to have a quick and affordable dinner. The sizes are larger than expected. Quantity over fineness but I always enjoyed it.

★★★

Unbeatable value for mediocre quality. My judgement is based on one-time UberEats delivery. Price-wise, the quantity of food for the price is absolutely unbeatable in the Yonge/Eg area. However, quality-wise, their rolls are mediocre at best. Salmon tastes weird and their rice is not good-quality. As is the case with most things in life, you get exactly what you pay for. If you want better quality maki and sushi, you'll have to pay more. Personally, I recommend either Fukui Sushi (1612 Bayview Ave) or Kintako Sushi (214 Laird Dr #101)

we ordered salmon lovers poke bowl and spicy salmon and loved the taste and quality at a good price! Also loved the rice options--I ordered half brown rice and half sushi rice.

I order the salmon teriyaki at the Bloor West location as well as here, and there s a world of difference between them. I have to say, the one here has a strange smell.

WORST TERIYAKI CHICKEN EVER! The chicken felt like it was a few weeks old. Threw after one bite. Dont risk your life here

Food was horrible! We had chicken fried rice and Teriyaki chicken. Chicken was so bad, it had a fowl smell. We believe it to be very old. Sushi was okay though. My advise: Please don t go there.

Sorry but that was the most bland meal I have had. The tempura tasted like the oil was old and needed to be changed. The tempura sauce was brown water. No flavour. Annoyed I paid for it when we threw most of it out.

Terrible sushi. No taste whatsoever. There s a reason they re doing buy one get one, it s the only way anybody could be convinced to make the mistake of having this wretched, torturous sushi

Great for ordering in but not a sit-in. They don t serve in plates (it just comes out in takeout bags) and there aren t even customer washrooms (refusing even for children) Pretty misleading to call this place a restaurant. It s more like a ghost kitchen useful for pickup or delivery only. They should probably just close the seating area if they aren t going to treat it like one Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly at all since there aren t any washroom

Ordered sushi from here and all of it was spoiled, getting both me and my girlfriend really sick. We ordered eel rolls and they were burnt and had a strange, bitter taste. Tasted almost like liquid smoke and butane. The salmon we ordered was pale and had weird grey streaks in it, and had an overwhelmingly fishy taste, and the tuna was mealy, and had an even stronger fish taste Their shrimp tempura was undercooked as well After eating, the entire room stank like dead fish, and my girlfriend started getting sick miso soup was ok tho Do not buy from here, they will sell you rotten fish.

Ordered $50 worth of food using uber eat. They goes straight to the trash. Its so painful to do that in this economy. All the salmon are spoiled, they taste sour. Reading the reviews here it seems like this is a common problem. I would love to support local businesses but food safety should be taken seriously.

Ordered $100+ worth of food from this place (monkey sushi castlefield) Sushi rolls were ok. Ordered 2 salmon poke bowls. On mixed greens. With 8 choices of toppings, all I got was a bunch of mixed greens, lots of onion. Almost no salmon and very little avocado as well. HUGE RIP OFF! Do NOT order here ever!

Rice with salt water instead of soy for $50, plus they gave a package P.S there is no toilet

Used to be a good value, but their prices have continually gone up the last two years, with no end in site. Theyve gone up about 40% on their party trays, and the amount of fish used has gone down.

February 22, 2024

All is good except for the customer service. I clearly said NO cucumber because I m allergic to it and half my order is full of it ! I said it twice!!!! And this is not the first time that happens. Was on purpose!

Decent if youre looking for an affordable quick meal. their strength is in the tempura, and im not the best judge of this but the fish tastes good and fresh. the rolls are decent but the avocado is very obviously not fresh, i ended up poking them out of my food.

January 22, 2024

***!!!AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!! *** This restaurant gave us spoiled fish. We became very ill and we cannot receive a refund although offering to provide the majority of the food as proof. (Atleast 90% if not more) Food : 1/5

I used to order all the time from this restaurant, but my last order was HORRIBLE! The miso soup was clearly gone bad, as it did not taste right. I called the store and the girl who picked up said there is nothing she could do.

I ordered Red dragon role on Uber Eats. In all other places it always comes with a salmon on top, but here they put tuna on the top of the rolls. I can t stand tune, so had to throw my order into the garbage bin. They didn t put any description that it supposed to come with tuna. Also the delivery guy told me that he was waiting a long time for the order that s why he delivered the ordered only in 1 hour 30 minutes

I ordered pick-up tonight. I got the Sushi & Sashimi Diamond (28pcs) combo. The pick-up time was super quick and the service was nothing above and beyond, but they were nice. However, please do not make the same mistake as I did, ordering late on a Monday night because the food was terrible. I hate to say this word, but the fish was rotten, tainted, spoiled. Whatever word you want to use to describe the type of fish you should NOT eat. It was a long day and I was hungry, so I ate a decent amount before realizing that it was the quality of food that makes you write a google review perched on the toilet at 1:29am on a Tuesday. I have ordered from Monkey Sushi Bloor many times and I have always loved the level of quality and service I have received. I am honestly surprised that there is such a difference in quality between same city chain restaurants. Truly disappointed and I will not be ordering from here ever again.

Their paper thin salmon sushi is not worth it. You can see the rice doing a peek-a-boo act. Rice is also plainly flavourless tasting...

All around a really good place. Eat the sushi though. I had some teriyaki salmon and I regret it, it was pretty tasteless. Despite the teriyaki, Ive had so many good sushi experiences that Im giving them 5 stars all around. Eat the sushi and youll be fine ;)

Tonight, I went to pick up my order from Rock Sushi, but the store was dark and vacant with a piece of paper on the window including a phone number and the new address. When I called, no one answered me and when I followed google map to get the new location, there was no restaurant there, it was actually a police station. I got very confused, and I tried again by entering the zip code to get the restaurant. Finally, I reached Monkey Sushi restaurant and my order was there !!! I told the lady about the unanswered phone call, the wrong address and the amount of time I had to spend to get there, but she rudely asked me to call Uber and tell them about the inconvenience. The answer does not make sense to me, and this dish was not worth all the confusion and time.

Here I got the Monkey Special Set 3 of salmon sushi, premium nigiri and eel sushi. Got miso and seaweed salad (free). Tasted great! Rice-sushi ratio was good and sushi rice was perfectly soft. The party tray salmon sushi quality is meh but the salmon sashimi are good. As seen below. Got free fish roe sushi :)

EDIT: I hate to edit my 5 star review, but this place has really gone downhill. The last 5 or more times that Ive ordered from here have been unpleasant. Spring rolls are ice cold and soggy and Ive never gotten a yam tempera roll that was crispy or warm. Everything is usually cold and soggy. The sushi always looks sloppy and falls apart. Whenever I order any veggie rolls, theyre almost always contaminated with Tobiko. The miso soup tastes weird. I dont know what happened to this place. I only order from here because of the price but I have to stop. Its not worth it. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Original review 2 years ago: Just tried this place for the first time last night. It was AMAZING! I ordered the Veggie Bento Box and some other rolls. The prices are great, food is fantastic, portion sizes are awesome, presentation is beautiful. I hadnt had sushi in a long time due to every place in the area being too pricy for me. Very thankful that my friend recommended this place. This will be my new sushi place from now on.

More likely a miss than a hit. -If you order on Uber eats, expect to regularly wait at least an hour for basic avocado and cucumber rolls. I dont believe they have a customer washroom so I never go there to sit down and eat. Its affordable tho....

Ordered a sushi set there was hair in my food, I call for assistance and I m told they don t see my order, absolutely disgusting.

Incredibly poor customer service by the manager, placed a larger order for pickup, forgot to check the bag before leaving the restaurant (My mistake) but once I got home and opened everything up they had forgotten to include two rolls. I called the restaurant to try and correct the issue but the manager angrily insisted she had packed the rolls herself and they would not remake the rolls for me to pickup. Thankfully I had placed through Uber eats and was able to request a refund through their portal, manager was hostile, rude and quite frankly dense. I highly recommend you order from other sushi restaurants in the area before Monkey Sushi, if you must order from them check your bag immediately upon delivery or at pickup before leaving, and use Uber Eats, at least they will help you correct the issue.

Easily the best bang for your buck when it comes to Sushi. Uber eats always has promotions for this place which makes it cheaper to order on the app then calling the place. Seems odd but its true, even with their fees. Portions are reasonable and sushi is cheaper than most other places. I wouldnt say its the BEST quality, but Im quite happy with it. If Im looking for a nice date, I wouldnt come here, but its a great option for lunch.

Not taking to count that it took them a very long time to prepare our small order, the chicken in the Ume box smelled off and upon closer look the chicken was raw! So did the fried golden sushi.

I ordered the Teriyake Beef Don. The teriyaki sauce was not flavourful at all and the worst thing was that most of the beef wasn t thoroughly cooked. Only 30% of the beef was cooked. Also, the portions were not great since it was 70% rice and 30% meat. Was really excited to eat here but now I m utterly disappointed.

Awesome! I just ordered for the first time. Well packed, quick, hot food came hot. Very fresh, properly prepared and tasty! I will definitely be ordering often. As of today, I now have a new place to order from. I needed this new change. Thanks Monkey Sushi! Were in a relationship now

Miso soup gone sour, tako sashimi definitely not fresh anymore. Strong fishy smell just like dead fish from many days ago. Worst sushi ever! Very disappointed. Complaint to Uber already

Update: the food quality has declined over the last few months. Salmon feels like it was just frozen other fish does not taste fresh. Miso soup is bad. Great sushi for this price point. They have good combos and specials and the food is great.

I think for the price of the party tray, it was ok-worth it. But the sushi were really mediocre, and you can tell that they dont really pay much attention to details. The unagi was kind of fragmented and ripped. The tobiko were dumped on a few maki instead of spread out nicely and evenly. In short, the sushi werent wrapped nicely, as if an amateur did it. Its a good place to fill yourself up, but Id rather spend my calories quota elsewhere.

ordered sushi and a rice dish that both tasted very off, and became violently ill an hour later. their prices are cheap but comes at a huge cost. never again.

Delicious. We always order green dragon rolls, our last order wasnt very good but we decided to try again. The staff are always polite and friendly, I wish they had a system that remembered our previous order, other than that its a great spot for Sushil.

Incredibly small portions and tasteless. My dragon roll came with dime size portions of salmon on top

Stopped here on a whim and was absolutely delighted by the vast menu, friendly service, and great prices!! Lots of vegetarian options. The rolls were very fresh, and we got quite a lot of food for what we paid. The place was clean and very nice inside. I will definitely be back!

It was just ok, nothing exceptional. No vegan dedicated items but only vegetarian portion of the menu. I generally just order sushi else where if they have dedicated vegan menu, but was not within the reach of that other Sushi restaurant.

Don t waste your money here to make you sick. There is a reason for lots of negative reviews. All of them are 100% correct. Worst of worst sushi in my life!!!

December 22, 2022

Worst sushi/roll/maki I had in years!!! DO NOT go there. Don t waste your time or money. Never going there again. Too much rice compared to any other ingredients. Some didn t even have salmon in them. The maki was empty when you turn it upside down and see from the bottom-up. Fried dumplings were souggy and hard to chew. The tempuras were hard and tasted stale. Found fish thorns and skin in between the sushi.

The quality of food is not very good. Their torched rolls are cold and not very good. I asked for extra ginger and they gave me a ketchup pack of ginger and they did not want to provide without extra charge. I also noticed that on 2 occasions we had missing rolls and food. The staff at the restaurant were friendly though.

First time in my life I couldnt finish sushi . The quality of the rice felt like too much water from a rice cooker and wasnt the appropriate grain. The salman was sad. I cant explain how the salmon sashimi presentation looked very handled and unappetizing. The rolls were ok. The salad and miso soup were ok. Ended up throwing out 3 pieces of sushi sadly .

This place is not the same anymore. 2 weeks ago, we found a piece of metal in our miso soup, and today we found this extra protein layer. Weve had enough!

The worst take out from Monkey sushi outlet. I usually like the quick take out from Monkey sushi and I order the usual salmon lover and specials. This time, they really downsize the portion of their salmon and cut it so thin and small. The miso soup is so bland and also the roll isn t torched properly. It s not worth the money anymore.

I want this place to be my go-to favourite place... But I wish they properly make their rice. There is no seasoning in the rice. It is so poorly balanced when it hits your palatte...your tastebuds get coated with a mush of flavourless mush and it sticks to it so you cant properly enjoy the other flavours of the fish or toppings. Their sashimi is sliced thin and small...what would typically be the size of what you pay for 1 piece is cut into 2-3 piece. Overall, this entire party tray is super overpriced and not worth it. The party tray was $60. If you want a quick fix for sushi, dont bother getting anything with rice. But you end up paying huge premiums for their sashimi.

December 22, 2022

literally the worst sushi i have ever had do not order from here

Local Guide
December 22, 2022

The rice was soft and overcooked. The salmon in the maki was basically non exisitant. Very skimpy on the fish, which was also poor quality (or old?). They also had a buy 1 get 1 deal on uber eats. Which was double the price of the a la carte. But because of the buy 1 get 1, it looks like a good deal when in fact you are paying regular price. Very shady. Awful sushi. Please work to increase your quality and stop trying to scam your customers.

Pretty good sushi for a good price. I used a buy one-get one deal from Uber Eats to get sushi. It was a lot of food for a very good price for sushi. If I had paid full price, I dont think I would have been as pleased since the fish looked strange but it was a good deal for the price and tasted good. Id eat here again with another good deal.

Price is super cheap in terms of what you are getting. $18 for a full-sized bento, free gyoza, tempura, miso soup, salad and 5pc nigiri, dragon roll and sashimi set is just a fabulous deal.

I ordered it via Uber a while ago... I usually dont leave restaurant reviews, even if its too annoying, but this one... The salmon wasnt bad, but the miso was too bland, probably because it was just colored, and the beef and broccoli werent seasoned well. All the dishes were not seasoned at all. The beef is so tough that it hurts my jaw. I asked for chopsticks as well, but there are two dishes, so why did they give me only one chopstick..

I got takeout lunch specials here twice, two weeks in a row. Service okay. Prices pretty cheap. Quality meh. The first time, the rolls were decent and the sushi was just okay as the rice was a bit dry, and unseasoned and the rolls as in plain as heck. The rolls are not great quality, but okay for the price if you want plain tasting. If you want tasty sushi go elsewhere. Second time, same as above except they messed up my order. I ordered the exact same combo, but they gave me a different roll, but when I called to advise they immediately took action and advised that I d get a replacement on my next visit so that made up for their error. The rolls however weren t that great this time. Normally, food is good in quantity, but the rolls were too enormous stuffed with rice that it took away from a good quality roll. Rolls have too much rice and are too dense, not flavourful, and it makes me wonder if they re not using sushi rice or mixing sushi rice with regular rice...something is not right. This place seems okay if you re not looking for amazing rolls and want to be cheap, but you won t feel satisfied you were stingy. Update: I got my replacement today. It is only a replacement of the roll that they messed up. Again quality is meh AND based on my last experience, this time when I called to order pickup and they said it ll be ready in 10mins, I told them that I ll be later. I wanted my food to taste fresher, but it didn t seem to matter for the quality and the girl also didn t ask them to delay making it. They still made it quite early so if ordering do not order too early. I ll go back to my regular sushi joint (more satisfying!) unless I want a cheap lunch special.
