The aburi sushi was such a rip off. Some of the salmon and shrimp were paper thin and didn't even cover the whole piece of rice. I didn't move any fish, I scraped the sauce to show that there was no fish underneath some of the sauce. I asked the server who asked the sushi chef who said that's just how they make it, and that they will take my feedback to improve for the future. About 5-10 min later, not sure if it's because they saw me take pics and write on my phone, but they came back offering me 15% off my bill. Nice gesture but not enough for me to recommend this place or ever return. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A cute sushi spot by Yonge and Carlton with rustic traditional Japanese decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff here were friendly, and the service was efficient. In addition to physical menus they have tablets attached to the table where you can order from. The sushi was very good for the price. However, I would have preferred 13 different nigiri pieces in the dinner set rather than multiple pieces of the same type of fish. Additionally, the salad could have been fresher and crispier. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall a great sushi spot for solo diners, and casual outings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Solid sushi and sashimi set for 2 for just under $30 per person+tax/tip (included soup and salad). Sashimi and sushi is fresh though maybe one small piece of fish was slightly fishy but overall it was a satisfying meal. I would be happy to return when I'm in the area for a sushi fix. It was easy to find a seat around 6pm walking in on Saturday.

Ok, I was skeptical when I only read 4 & 5 star reviews, but tonight's dinner made a believer out of me. We dropped in for a weekday dinner as my sashimi loving daughter requested Japanese for dinner. We ordered a dynamite roll (10/10), 18 pc sashimi dinner (15/10), 8pc scallop aburi hako (8/10), 9 pc sashimi appetizer (12/10), veg tempura (not pictured but 8/10) and 1 order each of Madai and Escolar a la carte sashimi. The variety of fish was great and the quality was ridiculously good. Most of the sashimi came topped with extra garnish that added so much extra flavour and truly elevated Gurume to a 5 star place for me. This is not your run of the mill korean/japanese restaurant as their sashimi & sushi are at par with even the highest end sushi shops I've been to. We left the restaurant with full bellies and happy to have found a real gem. Looking forward to returning to try their other offerings! read more

I ordered the Combination Tray M for pickup. Friendly lady on the phone. Keep in mind they open at 4 pm Mon-Thurs; 12 pm for Friday and the weekend. The platter was a hit! My family enjoyed it. The variety was what was really nice; as you can see, there's many different cuts and choices. I think the 3 rolls they picked were spicy salmon, shrimp tempura with cucumber, and a crab roll. All were good! The slices of salmon belly were a welcomed surprise. Excellent wasabi. At a price of ~$118 after tax, for the variety and quality, it's a good deal! I'm from NJ, USA, and $118 CAD (~$87 USD) cannot get me a platter like this at home! read more

Monday 12:30pm I was starving and had to eat something light before my meetings . I opted for the salmon lovers lunch special. It came with 4 nigiris , sashimi and 6pcs salmon maki and soup . There were a lot of options on the menu but had to make a quick decision based on timing ( what's the fastest best thing to order ). When I walked into the restaurant, it was a good surprise , love the feel of the place , it reminds me of the show Tokyo diner , its small, cozy , well decorated Japanese style with loads of bamboos . I was welcomed by a nice hostess / waitress . While waiting she offered and served me water ( that's what you call customer service but maybe only in Canada haha, it's not a common occurrence in nyc ). The place looks inviting , simple , clean ( though I didn't use the bathroom which is a good gauge of a restaurant). Summary - happy with my order but wished the rice was a bit more soft. I'll definitely try to come back before I leave to try the other dishes if I have time . read more

Gurume Sushi is conveniently located steps away from Yonge & College subway station, and right across from Toronto Metropolitan University. I love the ambience of this restaurant - it has a wooden accent interior and Japanese booth-style seatings which make it more intimate when dining for two or with a small party. Inside each booth, there are hooks where you can hang up your jackets. You can order from the touch-screen tablet at each table, or regularly from a hard-copy menu. All the food came fairly quickly and they were all fresh, high quality, and tasty. I could see why this place got into "Yelp's Top 25 Places to Eat" in 2023, and why it has a high average rating among Yelpers. I liked that the Garden Salad contained mostly dark green leafy vegetables (including spinach) instead of iceberg lettuce. The dressing was typical but pretty good. The Rainbow Roll was average, but the Sashimi Dinner (salmon, tuna, yellowtail, scallops, and a few other fish types) was excellent. It came with a small salad and miso soup. I liked that some of the sashimi had fried onions and a bit of garlic sauce as topping. Aburi Saba was disappointing - mostly rice with only a very small and thin slice of saba (mackerel) on top, and an even smaller piece of shiitake mushroom that you could barely taste. Unagi Donburi was okay... very thin slices of unagi on top of rice. The Bibimbap was good with a decent amount of vegetables (lettuce, shredded carrots, zucchini, bean sprouts) and shredded egg omelette (instead of sunny-side-up fried egg like in the bimbimbaps in most Korean restaurants). You can get the Bibimbap to be vegan / vegetarian by ommitting the meat or ordering the tofu version, and you can also get the spicy sauce on the side. All the rice bowls (including the Donburi and Bibimbap varieties) came with miso soup. read more

Maybe the best sushi I've ever had in Toronto... atleast the best I've had recently. I ordered the miso soup, and aburi salmon hako for lunch and both were amazing. A little heads up in case you're trying it for the first time: aburi salmon hako will have a little smoky taste due to it being torched! The service was friendly and incredibly, impressively fast. The interior is decorated perfectly with little Japanese style booths and wooden tables. Would be happy to come back here. read more

Really exceeded my expectations. For an unassuming place in the heart of the busy city. I had my doubts, walking in. Is it a tourist trap? Turned out to be a fantastic sushi spot. The tables inside are separated out like traditional Japanese rooms, that give group diners a great level of privacy. The establishment may not be Japanese owned but the food is certainly delicious. The service was good as well. Since being here the first time, I've ordered delivery as well. I can count on this place for a sushi fix. read more

Had lunch here during the week, and it was pretty quiet when we first walked in. The server was friendly and the food was brought out in a fairly short period of time. I tried the sushi & sashimi platter for two, and it wasn't bad in terms of quality and flavour. However, the portion size was quite small for the price (~$55). Overall, this is a pretty decent spot for sushi in downtown. read more

This might be my favourite sushi spot. As others have said, it exceeded my expectations. I realize that I'm a pretty big fan of the really smoky style fish. Ordered the Sashimi Sushi for Two (53.95) and everything was just excellent. The rolls are pretty big and they make big slices for the sushi pieces as well. The quality of the fish was fantastic. I really mean it when I say I liked every piece on that platter. The decor in there is also really cool, a bunch of Japanese decorations making it feel very authentic and traditional. There's a good variety of fish here and value wise it's very solid too. Will be returning. read more

As soon as we walked in we were cheerily greeted by all the employees. The service was amazing. The staff worked together to clean up everything as soon as you were finished with plates or needed water. The ambiance was romantic and friendly. The booths were enclosed against the wall, which was intimate and great for conversation. You ordered directly at the booth on a screen whenever you needed anything and paid at the end. The sushi was very filling. The best miso soup I have ever had was from here. The beef gyoza was also good, especially the sauce it came with. Perfectly cooked and breaded chicken katsu. Great time! read more

Great tasting quality sushi and wildly inexpensive! The service... hmmm, maybe the server was having a bad day?

I don't usually associate Japanese food with strong flavours, but Gurume somehow is strongly tasty. My wife and I stopped by for dinner and shared the tako wasabi, aburi scallop hako, torched rainbow dragon roll, bulgogi bento and sashimi dinner (yup, we were hungry!). While we would've wanted just a bit higher quality for the price, everything was pretty good to great. Especially liked the bulgogi (perfect blend of salty sweet) and dragon roll (good torch, huge serving). Of note, the Tako wasabi was strong on the wasabi, if that's your thing. Place had a good vibe to it and the service was quick. I get why Gurume gets all the praise. read more

Honestly a solid little spot for sushi. The atmosphere was nice and the servers were incredibly attentive! We shared the salmon lover combo and the spider roll. The spider roll was amazing and they did not skimp out on the soft shell crab. The salmon tasted fresh and the quality was quite good. The portions are decent, the price is reasonable and the food is good! Would recommend for a no fuss sushi meal in the city. read more

Atmosphere 4/5 Service 5/5 Food 4.5/5 First time trying Gurume Sushi after walking by this place many times! Definitely had a great experience here from the friendly and quick service to the delicious food. This place was pretty packed for a Sunday evening but we were seated pretty quickly at a spacious booth with lots of privacy! My boyfriend and I split a Sushi & Sashimi platter ($52) and a creamy kimchi mentaiko udon ($16). The sushi platter was amazing and honestly a great value for the quality and amount of fish we got. My only complaint would be that they gave us the same types of fish for the nigiri and sashimi so we didn't get to try as many variety of fish as we would have liked. The creamy udon was also really yummy with a good portion size. Would highly recommend this place for an enjoyable meal with friends and family :) read more

Came here after work with some co-workers on a Wednesday evening. The restaurant is located near Yonge-Carlton St. We came right before dinner hour (~4:30pm) and it was pretty quiet as expected. We had a group of 6 people and were able to order on the tablets that are installed at each table. This made it very easy to look through the menu and pick and choose what we wanted. I love torched sushi so I opted to get the Aburi Scallop Hako. I really enjoyed the taste of the creamy garlic mayo on top and each sushi had a great warm temperature when putting it in my mouth. The servers always refilled our water/tea and provided excellent service. I'll definitely be back in the future for more delicious sushi in downtown Toronto. read more

I was very surprised by the quality of sushi relative to the price. This place had great variety of rolls, sashimi, appetizer, bento sets and bowls. We ordered the chicken karage, salmon roll, tuna aburi, sashimi dinner, Orangeville roll, and torched dragon roll. The chicken was crispy, flavourful and perfectly salted. The sashimi has great variety and was very fresh. The salmon roll had a great fish to rice ratio, amazing value for the price. I really enjoyed the torched dragon and Orangeville rolls. They were flavourful and filled with a variety of textures. I would highly recommend this place! read more

I think this is really a spot that is underrated in Toronto, and has great quality food items while it is not very well known. It has the traditional sushi environment with some booths, that are hard to find nowadays. Given the environment with a booths, it means that there is some less seating available. I find that all the items are incredibly fresh, and it's made the quality of a superior Japanese restaurant where the items would surely cost more. It has a great central location in downtown core near Carlton and Yonge street, adjacent to many busy streets, still has a relaxed vibe given such a central location. The menu has lotta items, including Bento boxes, some Korean food, and of course sushi. They also have a variety of cocktails that are all very surprised at around the $10 range. Would easily come back. read more
