The food is a solid 10/10 -- always fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. We've come in a few times over the past several months, and it's consistently quiet, clean, and pleasant. The service is amazing. The servers are very friendly and check on us frequently, and even the chef sometimes comes to the table to see how we're doing and tell us more about the dishes. Highly recommend! read more

Great service, affordable and delicious. Owbers are lovely. I like how quaint the space is, great to sit by the window.

After a good amount of day drinking, my buddies and I needed some food in our bellies before proceeding to start our night drinking. We picked this spot for its convenient location to all the bars we wanted to visit. First things first, make sure you check in here for a free sake offer. My buddies, who don't yelp at all, were impressed by this and have now become yelpers. For our appetizer, we decided on having spicy edamame. Served warm, it's pretty standard, pretty good. For my dinner, I decided to have a teriyaki chicken bento box. Chicken was good, not great. It was served with vegetable tempura, a California roll, rice, and pot stickers. The sides were again fine, not great. Prior to getting your box, you are served a salad with ginger dressing and a miso soup. The former was actually really good, great dressing. The latter was probably the worse miso soup I've ever had at a Japanese restaurant. It tasted like lightly flavored water and wasn't worth the calories. Employees here are super nice and the restaurant itself is quaint and decorated super cute. All that being said, I felt like the food quality was pretty average and I don't really see the need to return on my next visit to Toronto. read more

This was a last minute take out via UberEats. My go to sushi spot no longer offering the sushi set I am relegated to below average sushi (read a step above grocery store level) so tend to order filler items. They had a promo on the chicken karage and miso soup so added them as well to make a couple of meals out of the food. Hmm the spicy crab roll was OK kind of what I expect at this price point. Not a lot of kick to it. Karage was so so. Small pieces of meat with a forgettable batter and again a mild dipping sauce. Miso soup was also what I expected at this price point. Hmm not impressed 2.5 stars that's considering all the promo prices. read more

This is one of my go-to's for casual sushi in dt Toronto! The yellowtail jalapeño roll is my FAVOURITE I get it every time and I've never seen it anywhere else. Only thing is that sometimes the jalapeño is really spicy and sometimes it's not. The torched salmon aburi is also delicious. The salmon is soft, the sauce is so good and has just the right amount of spice Lastly, the prices aren't bad at all! read more

My go to sushi spot. Great prices and the location is super cute! I often do take out, it's 10% off if you pay with cash! I love the gyozas here, they also add some topping to their edemame that is to die for. Great spot for a date or a casual dinner! read more

I ordered from their express version on UberEats a few times, and true to its name, it's indeed among the fastest places to get its food delivered well ahead of expected arrival. The quality is pretty mediocre, which is understandable given the relatively cheap prices - but at least it's consistently mediocre (i.e., no really good or bad experiences). They often have buy 1 get 1 free deals offered which is nice as well. Essentially, you are getting what you signed up for so can't really complain. :) read more

Kawa Sushi - Yam Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Great service and staff. Quaint space but great area to dine. Food was excellent. Clean establishment.

There are a handful of Sushi restaurants in the area. Kawa is by far on of the better options and was one of our Go-To places during the height of the pandemic as we also wanted to support them during this challenging time. Some other Sushi places popped up (which we have tried) but we continue to rely on Kawa. I did not give them 5 stars as the consistency can vary depending on who is rolling. Nonetheless, thoroughly recommend for those looking for quality in the area (Village/Garden/Cabbagetown). read more

The place is small it has only four tables but the service and food was delicious. I'm hoping the Spring and summer bring the patio to life as the location is vibrant. The food was amazing and while I was there eating the place was super busy with people picking up food, in fact it was none stop. The prices are more than reasonable and hope if you are in the district that you will give this place a try. See pictures read more

Ordered a party tray online. Salmon and Butterfish were very obviously spoiled. Called the restraunt to have it corrected. Didnt want to eat anything after having rotten fish in my mouth (it was aweful). James offered no support except to call uber eats. Theyre closed (covid related no doubt). So now im out $60, have been turned off of food for the evening, played phone tag with James for an hour, and have to wait for this pandemic to be over before i can attempt to get my money back. Worst customer service ever. This place used to be good. But looking at other reviews it seems to have nose dived and i fell victim to it. read more

Dropped in here for dinner last night and ordered their assorted sushi. Whomever the chef is made the sushi so it fell apart before you could even dip it in soy sauce. The portions were not what I would call generous and the quality was decidedly below average. read more

I like the neighbourhood this sushi restaurant is in, and the set up of the restaurant is nice. It is a small place but has a coziness to it. The service was very quick. I enjoyed the spicy salmon crunch roll that I ordered. The fish was very fresh, so important with sushi. If I'm in the area I'll come back as the prices were affordable. read more

I order sushi from these guys about 4-5 times a week (via skip, foodora & ubereats) (yeah I know... Weird lifestyle lol) and they are usually great. But today I have received the worst sushi I've probably ever eaten in my life. The rolls are not even rolled properly, the all have stained rice (I guess from soy? I don't know...), Avocado Salmon with a hint of Avocado, and disgusting pieces of extremely chewy salmon as if they managed to combine this roll from garbage leftovers.. I'll give them a try again, hopefully this won't repeat because they are usually great Fire the person who made these today (trust me, you won't be regretting it). read more

I came by during a visit to Toronto, as I had seen some good reviews. I was immediately greeted and seated, and offered the full menu plus the lunch special. While I did intend on having sashimi and nigiri, the lunch special of 3 rolls plus miso soup couldn't be beat at $13. I selected the salmon avocado roll, the pepper tuna avocado roll and the jalapeño hamachi roll. All were great, with fresh ingredients and good rice (amount and quality). The miso soup was superb, and included enoki mushroom. Bonus for YELPers!! When you check in and spend more than $20 before tax they give you a free small hot sake. Highly recommended. read more

The food is good and the price is right. This restaurant is pretty casual and gives out a diner vibe, nothing fancy. Don't let that fool you, though, cuz the food is fantastic. I came here for dinner on a week night and it was pretty empty. We got a nice seat by the window that overlooked Church St. The waitress was nice and friendly. There were many options on the menu, including scallops! Here's what I tried: Seaweed Salad $4 - Pretty good and nice size. Deep fried beef dumplings $4 - I would order these again. Fire Cracker Dream $5 - Scallop, tempura flakes, spicy mayo. This was good, especially since I was in the mood for scallops. Moscow Roll - $8/5pcs - Salmon, tuna, hamachi, green onion, cream cheese deep fried w/special house sauce. MAN, this was DELICIOUS! The cream cheese thing is not for everyone, but I LOVE IT! The texture was great (crunchy and creamy) and the sauce was fantastic bursting with flavor. I would come back for these in a heartbeat. Just for this, 5 stars. Large Hot Sake - $7 - Drinkable :) My vegetarian friend was happy because there were more vegetarian options than just salad and edamame. They have several vegetarian sushi rolls on the menu (e.g. Asparagus Roll, Deep Fried Sweet Potato Roll, Shiitake Mushroom Roll, etc.). read more

I was on a mission to get gluten free Japanese. I tried my best but still received imitation crab in the eel roll though I stayed an allergy. When I spoke to the restaurant they said there was also gluten in the eel. So no go there, but it's he great thing about the roll was it had more goods than rice! So if you don't like a lot of rice in your sushi, I totally recommend this. The grilled squid was GF as I asked for no sauce. The thing is it didn't taste grilled but kinda steamed. Not like calamari at a Greek place. There were no grill lines and this no char broiled taste. Otherwise, decent slightly spicy squid. The eggplant was good though I'd put a bit of rice miso for more umami and salt flavour. The sashimi salad was nice and fresh and GF if you don't add the dressing. There was a light flavour to all the dishes which may lack flavour but shows their food as more health conscious than most take out. read more

We arrived shortly before 2pm; although the lunch menu is offered until 3pm, we were not given the lunch menus to start with. A fellow patron told us to ask for a lunch menu. I wish it was offered to us when we walked in, I didn't like having to ask for it. Otherwise, the food is excellent and the service is great:) PS: I did this for the FREE SPRING ROLLS ^_^ read more

I haven't spit out food in a long time. I ordered via Foodora, and the sushi looked disgusting and tasted like someone had chewed it already and rolled it up to serve - Spicy Crunchy Tuna Roll. Meh. Two stars for the Shrimp Tempura as it was edible. Only thing was the styrofoam had melted on top so took a star away. Pork cutlet meal was alright but needed sauce which we assume was in the accompanying little container. Waste of $ for sure and will not be ordering from here again. Delivery driver was very nice. read more

Kawa Sushi is a place I'd go to if I wanted a quick bite for sushi, but don't really care about the quality and just want something that is filling. When you walk in, the lighting is a bit dark, but it does feel a bit dirty inside. I was seated besides the heater and there was absolutely zero gap, and it became extremely uncomfortable. Both times I went, there was a fly that was buzzing around me and there was only one girl on the floor and I felt somewhat bad for her because she looked overworked and there was a lot of trouble with just giving the bill. Food: 2/5 Service: 2/5 Price Point: 1/5 Overall: 2/5 read more

THE WORST RESTAURANT EVER!!! I wrote my phone number wrong, and I admit that its my fault. I could accept if they asked for extra delivery fee, but THE LADY YELLED AT ME!! SHE YELLED AT ME LIKE I SLEPT WITH HER BOYFRIEND!!! 20min later I got my order.I only took the photo of terriyaki, which is the MOST DISGUSTING ONE!! I also ordered shrimp tempura udon and spicy salmon roll and everything is THE MOST DISGUSTING FOOD I HV EVER SEEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE!! The salmon and shrimp are both STINKY! And the tempura still has shell!! Shrimp with shell all over it!!!!!!!!!i am not gonna order it again and i hope the store would shut down tomorrow! the food is just disgusting!i hope no one would ever order it! read more

Stopped in while visiting Toronto for the day, and very happy that I did. Excellent quality sashimi, and the "Enter the dragon" roll was delicious. Perfectly topped it off with a glass of plum wine. Great presentation and the service was pleasant and friendly. Not the best picture (my fault), because I realized halfway through the meal that this place deserved a good review. read more

I'm actually fairly disappointed with my takeout platter that I ordered from here. Judging by the high rating and the seemingly delicious looking photos, I was pretty excited to get the regular party tray (which contained sushi, sashimi, and maki rolls) so I could try a little of everything. It was $45 for 45 pieces (plus tax), so essentially a little over $1/pc and let me assure you... for the quality of what I got, I would definitely not order it again. Albeit the rolls were fine (good salmon to rice ratio), the cuts of fish from the sashimi/sushi weren't that fresh, the variety was very limited, and I nearly sliced my mouth from a fish scale that I found in one of my pieces of sushi... Overall, the platter was just disappointing. Not worth the money. Would not recommend. read more

Another great visit at Kawa Sushi Service was quick and sushi was really fresh. We ordered a mix Sushi and Sashimi plate. Beef enoki roll was tasteful. We stopped by for a quick bit before heading to a concert, parked on the street, in and out within 45mins. Speedy service, just wonderful every time. The owner recommended a new sparkling grapefruit jelly SAKE !! It was unique and delicious for a hot day. Go try it out, you cannot buy at LCBO. Highly recommended read more

I ate here two days in a row, doing take-out each time. I am a fan! Not too overly priced, they have it ready quickly, and I think it was pretty yummy. Day 1: I ordered the Green Dragon for lunch - they had it ready fairly quickly. Loved the taste, and the portion size. Day 2: I ordered the Crazy Tuna roll (Spicy crunchy tuna avocado top with seared pepper tuna steak served fried leek & wasabi mayo) this thing was so good! I've never had fried leek before on top of sushi. I highly recommend trying this roll. read more

Very poor food preparing and delivery handling. Part of the sushi isn't cut though which leaves a very thick piece. On the other hand, the soy sauce was spilled everywhere, on the napkins, the chopsticks and on the sushi. The overall presentation is a total disaster. This is unbelievable. It's the worst takeout experience that I have ever had so far. PS: I will post the photos. read more
