    Unique fusion flavors and textures! Beautiful specialty sushi rolls! Cool drinks served out of a box that releases smoke as it is opened and presented to you at your table. Quite a show. Friendly service. Overal enjoyable experience. Small but cozy space. Downside: typical downtown core parking.

    I came to Flame Sushi for my friend's bday, and left with a happy smile. They have chef's menu for 3 course and 5 course for $50 and we all chose the 5 course menu. I had: - peach whiskey crush which was amazing - miso soup - hamachi tataki - nice and light - soft shell crab roll - work of art!!! - Barack chirashi don - the freshest seafood - an array of desserts We all left satisfied.

    We had the opportunity yo try the Winter tasting menu last year and it didn't disappoint. The presentation is very pretty and the food tasted better than it looks. The front part of the restaurant is very busy and we absolutely loved the seating area at the back, it's perfect for groups or for a date night. We enjoyed some sushi, bao, tataki, fancy cocktails and desserts. The reastaurant has a modern decor and dim lighting. Parking can be challenging to find co it's on queen st. It's totally worth visiting if you're looking for a cozy date night spot.

    Ive been wanting to visit this place and try their course menu. Finally grabbed a girlfriend and checked it off my list! They offer a 3-course for $38 and 5-course for $50! And they change the menu every season, so there will be new items on the menu. Presentation was 10/10. Some dishes were above expectations. Overall, enjoyed it and will come back!

    They made the most of the place. Making an objectively small area feel open and comfortable with mirrors. I appreciated the effort they put into the menu... many unique item rather than standard fare you see at many other places. Kalbi was OK... flavor was too subtle. One of our favorites was the Snow Dragon roll... the beet sauce didn't taste anything like beets... but this is coming from someone that doesn't like beets. It had a nice flavor and the roasted sesame and garlic played huge supporting roles in making this a great dish. Another favorite of the table was the Salmon oshi... love the torched salmon it releases some smokey flavor. Buttery in taste and texture. Dynamite roll was also only ok... 5 pcs of deep fried roll with imitation crab and shrimp tempura. Service was just a bit on the slow side despite having what seems life adequate staff 3 servers and front of house manager pitching in and 2 chefs on the sushi bar with a non full capacity dining room. They were attentive watching it drink glasses and helpful with menu questions. Overall 3.5 but with some tweaks could be a 4. It's not cheap but not expensive. Almost has the value for flavor equation right.

    AMAZING! my friends and I went here for their 5 course + 1 drink spring menu for $50/person - everyone in your party has to get it I was satisfied with the food and portion sizes. The only thing I didn't enjoy were the tacos - didn't have much flavor for me. I felt the sauce masked everything. My bf isn't a sushi lover but he's keen on trying this place because of the other options that they have which were executed well imo The service was speedy and friendly, the decor gave off a romantic ambience. You wouldn't be disappointed dining here!

    Customers can enjoy the spring tasting menu at a more affordable price. Two menus are available ($38 / $50), and each is sure to satisfy your cravings for elevated Japanese food. Overall, I love the vibe, service, and their offerings. My favorites are the chirashi, risotto, yuzu martini, and dessert.

    Went for my birthday. They had a birthday special where they really pull all the stops to let you enjoy your special day. Singing, a big chocolate egg filled with treats, and if you bring 4 friends you get the 3 course meal for free . Very worth it!

    Oysters

    Flame Sushi had a special for TIFF where if you buy a drink, you were able to get $1 oysters. I am always seeking out new buck a shuck deals so I came with a few friends and were not disappointed. The oysters were nicely sized and came out quickly. We ordered a few drinks, though nothing in particular stood out. I also ordered some salmon oshi, which was delicious! The restaurant wasn't busy on a Friday after work, and the service was solid. Overall, we had a good time. I'd come back to try their other specials, as they certainly have good value.

    Very tasty! I love the presentation and smell when the lid is lifted from their imagined bowl. They have a tasting menu 3 courses with appetizer, main and a dessert for $38 and a 5 course tasting menu which includes a drink for $50. Quality and presentation is great and the price is reasonable. Would definitely recommend.

    This was a very delicious salad with different types of fish in it

    The food was extremely good I loved all of it the presentation it was amazing. Service was excellent I would like to point out Kate especially she was so happy to answer all of my questions and just seemed like a really nice person I definitely recommend her as your waitress. The environment of the restaurant was amazing was a busy yes but that gave it life.

    I've walked by Flame Sushi many times, but finally got an opportunity to check it out on New Year's Eve. We reserved for a party of 7, and were seated at a table near the bar. We were interested in the tasting menu, which was listed at 50% off for $50. I'm not sure when it is not $50, as many reviews mention the same price. Since we had 7 people, we decided to order as much variety as possible from each course. My favourites were the sous-vide duck breast and mushroom shrimp. I wish there were more mocktail options, but the drinks came out with quite some flare. For a restaurant that seems to focus quite a bit on aesthetics, I was pleasantly surprised that flavours were still up to par (contrary to some other places). At one point we felt like food was coming out too quickly, so I wish they saw the full table and slowed down service, but all was well after we requested that dishes come out after the previous set was completed. At the 'discounted' rate, I think Flame Sushi was well worth its value.

    Tried the 5-course Summer Tasting Menu at Flame Sushi for $50 and it was absolutely fantastic! Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour. The environment was clean with a lovely interior design that made the dining experience even more enjoyable. All the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Definitely planning to visit again, highly recommend checking it out before the summer menu ends! (Promo end likes end of June)

    This was one of those dining experiences where every detail felt intentional…read more The presentation was beautiful without feeling overdone, and each piece was balanced and fresh. You can really tell there's a lot of care behind every course. What stood out to me most was how calm and focused the whole experience felt--it made it easy to slow down and actually enjoy each bite. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I want something a little more special.

    It's been a while since I've had omakase. Yasu was easy to reserve and was under $200pp. The menu…read moreincludes 16 courses which includes 1 appetizer (containing 4 dishes), 12 nigiri, tamago, soup, and dessert. There were three add-ons (toro with caviar $25, uni with caviar $35, and caviar sushi). I opted in for the toro and uni add-ons. It was strange they give you the add-ons before any other nigiri. Everything was very good and fresh. Standouts for me was the appetizer, all three cuts of bluefin tuna, the lobster (by far my favorite), and the hotaru ika. I would've appreciated knowing that the omakase included or not included toro and uni before I decided on the add-ons but I don't regret it. It was a splurge night after all. Service was very attentive. Note that the dining space is very small. 12 seats around the counter and two tables. There was a very loud gentleman two seats from me who never learned to use his inside voice and totally ruined vibe. But that's not on the staff. Another note is that gratuity is automatic on the bill.

We were seated in a separate room from the regular sushi counter. The chef carefully prepared each course in front of us. The Kaiseki portion was served first, and after each course was given to us one of the servers described each dish and its elements. The sushi courses were served afterwards followed by some desserts. They also gave us an extra dessert for the birthday celebrant. Each dish was really thoughtful and tasty, and the fish was really fresh. The highlight was definitely the A5 Wagyu beef course. The beef was so buttery and melted in my mouth. They even explained the quality of the beef and showed us a certificate of the beef's grading. It was worth the splurge for a special occasion! The meal was amazing and the restaurant itself was welcoming and not pretentious at all.
