I was expecting Kawa to wow me just a bit more, but in the end while their food was good and worth the money ($15 for a sushi combo featuring around 8 or so different types of sushi and a hand roll) I was not a fan of of simple things like the fact that the food did take some time to get to us despite there being only 1 other table before us and that it didn't completely blow me away. Make no mistake, Kawa is certainly miles above your average tiny sushi joint in terms of the quality so I would most definitely visit here once again especially given their convenient location to me. I was a big fan of their miso soup though because instead of having the same tried out formula you see in almost all other sushi joints, their miso soup tasted different and actually had a solid amount of enokitake mushrooms which I'm always a fan of. Their salad too was tasty and had a good dressing on it. A couple of things they could have done at their own expense to earn an extra star was to have brought me a glass of water as everyone else opted for water while I went for tea, and when one guy in our group didn't have soup and salad included in his meal they could have brought him over something at least. I know it seems a little harsh to criticise a business for not providing free stuff, but that sort of thing has happened to me in the past and could really enhance the experience. Overall, satisfied with the food, but they still have a few details to hammer out to be completely awesome in my book. read more

3.5 Very friendly service. Our server was kind and bubbly. Fun atmosphere with some cool murals. If you sit by the window, you can people watch and see some interesting folk! They have plenty of variety. We quite enjoyed the black pearl role, which featuref BBQ eel. We topped it off with some green tea ice cream. Good experience. read more

I have no idea why they did not anticipate a Sunday evening long weekend to be busy. It was horribly understaffed. We waited too long to get served and we weren't in the worst situation. A group of three people came in and sat at a messy uncleared table early on in our dinner. By the time we left, they hadn't even given in their orders. I understand this particular location isn't designed to be packed with customers but when you're the only sushi joint open after 11pm within a 5km radius on a long weekend, it would be a good idea to prepare for that... this place has been around for a while too so I don't know why they would still have a problem like this. The food itself is decent for the price. The sashimi pieces are a bit small but the fish was cold and fresh tasting. We ordered the 30 piece sashimi boat to share. read more

Came here with friends on a weekday evening and we ordered the Enter the Dragon, the spicy crunchy salmon, the Crazy tuna, the Fire Cracker Dream and the beef udon with soup, and the roll with the salmon wrapping. The portions looked huge and the roll with the salmon sashimi wrapped is not on the menu but DEFINITELY ask for it and they will make it - it comes in six pieces! This is a cute little place on Church St that serves fresh, tasty sushi and other entrees. read more

**Delivery review** Great sushi, it's not the absolute best but quality is good enough. Prices aren't too too steep by Toronto standards. Ordered from their website where there is no delivery fee, just gotta tip the driver with a $25 minimum. Delivery came half an hour late. Everything was packaged nicely. Just slight spillage from the miso soup, which had lots of seaweed, tofu and enoki. Chicken teriyaki bento box ($15): tempura was still crispy but lots of batter. I am saving the rest for lunch tomorrow so no comment on the rest of the box yet. Kawa combo for 1 ($18): large pieces of fish. The salmon avocado roll was stuffed with salmon which made me happy. Red tuna was fresh but had some chewy (impossible to chew) bits. Salmon sashimi had 2 bones in it sadly UGH. Shrimp and the seared white fish were good, nothing to write home about. read more

I wanted to try a different sushi place close to home so I gave these guys a try. They were very friendly and offered me a seat and some tea while I was looking through the menu to place my take-out order. The sushi was really good and the prices were reasonable. I probably won't stray from my normal go-to place but these guys are a good back-up option. read more

Kawa Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I am a very big fan of sushi so I have visited many sushi places throughout Toronto, but I usually end up dissapointed by the quality, quantity, or both when it comes to the sashimi. However, that is no longer a problem for me after I discovered Kawa Sushi. Earlier today, I ordered their salmon sashimi for takeout. I was immediately blown away by the portions. Compared to many other sushi places, the quantity was a lot larger for the same price. Aside from the quantity, the quality of the salmon was very fresh. It didn't have a dry or grainy texture like many of the "all you can eat" sushi locations. It had just the right amount of fattiness and was an absolute pleasure to eat. I am positive their sashimi reflects the rest of their menu as well and would highly suggest it to any lovers of sushi or japanese cuisine like me. read more

Kawa has been my go-to sushi place for years. After moving into the area a couple of years back, I found Kawa as a result of a serious craving for Japanese curry and I haven't stopped going since then. Deluxe Spicy Salmon Roll ($8/4 pieces), Deep Fried Potato Cake ($3), Chicken Cutlet with Curry Sauce Bento ($13), Kawa Combo for 1 ($15) and the Takoyaki ($5) are my regulars. The service here is great whether you eat in, pick up, or have it delivered. The food is always fresh and always delicious! read more

Kawa Sushi - Deluxe Spicy Salmon Roll ($8/4 pieces) - I ate one before I managed to take a photo! Highly recommended! :) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Ordered Kawa Sushi combo for one, which is basically an assortment of sashimi, sushi, a couple of pieces of eel sushi, and a salmon hand roll with miso soup and salad. This was $15. I wouldn't say it's cheap, but for the quality of food, it's very good value. When I was first walked into the place at 1 pm on a Wednesday, there was absolutely no one here. This scared me off. Luckily, when we saw some $6.99 lunch specials, this persuaded me to stay. People came in after us and they all seemed to enjoy the meal. I thought the salmon, snapper, and tuna were all very fresh and didn't have much of a fishy smell. However, what I really enjoyed was the eel sushi. It was BBQed to perfection. Definitely a hidden gem off of Church. So breakdown: Presentation: 4.5/5 Food: 4/5 Service 3.5/5 Decor: 3.5/5. Pricing: 4/5. read more

Friendly, welcoming service and delicious sushi. We had specialty rolls (crazy tuna and enter the dragon) plus two entrees (tofu and gyoza) all were equally tasty, highly recommend the crazy tuna. The shop is busy with take out collectors coming to pick up orders so clearly popular online as well. read more

Best rolls I've had in most restaurants in Toronto. The place has a small intimate feel and the walls have hand painted murals that are very beautiful. I'm usually a sushi snob and only go to Omikase restaurants, but this place could easily charge high end prices for the quality but the prices are quite low. It can be a bit quiet / they could use some music playing but otherwise it's a really nice place. Thumbs up. read more

so I recently ordered from Kawa Sushi through their online ordering system. After the order was confirmed, I was informed that the delivery would take 90 minutes. I called and cancelled the order, and they assured that a refund would be issued, 9 days later and no refund has been issued. If you want a new and interesting way to lose $43.17, I suggest you try kawa sushi. read more

I have been to Kawa Sushi twice, and it was always a great experience. The sushi here is consistently well made. The server is always friendly and provides quick service. I've tried their signature kawa roll and sashimi boat. The sashimi tasted very fresh with good quality. The kawa roll is my favourite here! Each roll is almost double the size of regular sushi. The crispy fried lobster combined with the tangy mango sauce comes together very nicely. The restaurant is good for both sit down and takeout. It's a must try if you are in the Church-Wellesley area! read more

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

I have gotten take-out from Kawa for years since it is conveniently located and decently priced, but the poor service and false advertisement on the website is frustrating. On my most recent visit, I tried to apply the 15% order code advertised on the website (pickup15). I met the order limit but it did not work so I called the restaurant to help troubleshoot. I was told that "usually" the website applies 10% off pick up automatically at checkout - which was also not the case for me (and also not the online promo). Person on the phone offered no solutions or explanation. If you decide to try it - beware the menu is hit or miss. I recommend the Takoyaki and S-4 combo. Stay away from the bento boxes and grilled items. read more

we ordered takeout, the sushi's shapes were decent but it was tasteless. I don't recommend this place or would eat again

The 4 is for speed. I had to suggest something for about 8 people to go to with 1 hour for lunch, and this was the closest sushi place that wasn't a 3 star. Everything came sequentially in 15 minutes. Salmon wasn't too fishy, and I'm not even a salmon fan. The group was from Vancouver; no major complaints about the sushi, but not blown away either. They offer your usual cliché sushi pizza and philadelphia rolls too. I was worried a gluten-sensitive coworker would be alienated, but luckily they had gluten-free soy sauce. The seared whitefish is good, but other rolls in the party tray and sashimi arrangements were pretty standard. read more

Great cost-benefit ratio :) I visit there quite often. Today I will visit there with my little brother!! read more

Had my first visit to Canada last week, and was very impressed with the food I got at Kawa Sushi. I ordered the special (green tea soba noodle) and was delicious. Also ordered the S4 combo it came with 18 pieces, miso soup and a salad. At a reasonable price of 15.50. For a quick dinner I thought of it being a very reasonable price. Overall this place is a little small but it clean and also the staff was very friendly! If anyone is near by this store I recommend to give it a shot. read more

My name is Kate. And I am addicted to Kawa Sushi. I remember when I first moved into my apartment my landlord mentioned Kawa. "Oh that place is good! It recently opened so it's nice to see they have business," he casually stated. Little did I know, this was only the beginning. Fast forward a handful of months. Kawa Sushi and I are now the best of amigos. Am I feeling lazy? Craving sushi? I can simply call and place an order and in 10 min it's ready. I have become a regular and the adorable staff laugh at my love for their salmon sushi pizza. Now and again they'll even throw in a free miso soup, because they're just that delightful. Care if I list a few more reason why I love it so? - The price! $4 Salmon rolls! $7 for a giant (and I mean giant) Green Dragon roll! Yummy combos! - The staff! They are so so nice! It's a family business, and sometimes you'll spot they're young lil son (who is basically twins with that kid in Up) playing on his game boy. When my friend Amy and I stopped by for a snack on Halloween he even shared some of his Halloween candy with us. And he was dressed up as Buzz Lightyear. And it was so cute. - Did I mention the sushi pizza? Sushi pizza. Kawa makes giving into my sushi cravings way too easy. And delicious. Go. read more

After reading reviews on Yelp I was hesitant of ordering from this place... it was 10:30 and unfortunately this was the only place that was open that had higher stars than the other restaurants. I took a chance and ordered salmon sashimi, Philadelphia roll and spicy salmon hand roll. Delivery was only 20 mins and the food actually tastes pretty good! I am really satisfied and is glad I took a chance with Kawa! I will definitely be ordering from you guys again. 5/5 for the quality of the sashimi read more

Ordered a sashimi combo, it was gross. The fish smelled 'fishy' and half of it was actually still frozen when I got it (tasted awful), and really bad presentation, the cuts of fish were stringy at the edges and jagged (maybe they forgot where all the sharp knives were??). I wish I could give a more detailed review, but honestly the look and smell of the fish convinced me one bite was enough. This isn't a premium susholi location but it's also not a bargain restaurant or an all you can eat, way to expensive to be serving people that quality of food. Easily some of the worst fish I've had in the city... I will say the service was prompt and courteous though read more

Tasty and decently priced sushi. Great service and convenient location. I will come back to this place next time I'm in town.

3.5/5: Friendly service, and we got to use the check-in offer for some free sake! Overall, I would say the restaurant is pretty standard in comparison to other sushi restaurants around Toronto. Nothing outrageous that sets it apart, but still tasty for the price! We got the black pearl roll and I can't remember the other one - but it was fairly tasty! Pretty good if you can't figure out what to eat and you're in the area. Would go again for a quick fix! read more

Pretty good when you're trying to escape the busy dt eats on a Saturday night. I came with a group of friends, 7 of us, at prime time and we didn't even wait. It was a tad slow for some foods but to be expected for unagi. One thing I can say for sure, they properly season their sushi rice for the dons. Also if you write a yelp review, you get a free ice cream. read more

Delicious sushi! Friendly service (in-person and via delivery). They do the best edamame I've had. They put this black delicious, salty, what kinda looks like tea leaves on them and the salt from that takes the edamame to another level. I wish they had more hand roll options (like yam avocado!) but that's just me being annoying. This place is awesome. read more

Since I learned of the demise of Sushi 67 (*tear*), I've been hoping to find another creative sushi restaurant. I'm not a stickler for traditional sushi, I love when they try something a little different. And we found it in Kawa Sushi! We unfortunately ordered way more than we could eat. It was very, very sad. Our eyes were simply bigger than our stomachs. BUT, at least we got a taste of everything we ordered. We started with edamame, which was delicious and salty. We also had the Crazy Roll, the Green Dragon Roll, the Moscow Roll, and the Salmon Kamakachi Roll. Moscow was probably my favourite, even though I couldn't fit it in my mouth in one bite. I made a failed attempt, then had to bite it in half. It stayed together though, and was absolutely delicious. Most of the rolls didn't even need soy sauce! All in all, a great little sushi place that I will definitely be back to. If only there was a place like this on the Danforth! read more

Wait staff were great and friendly but the chefs in the back need to step up their game. The food wasn't good. Tempura wasn't crispy or flakey at all. The sushi and tuna sashimi weren't fresh. Price wasn't too bad. But then again for the quality of food, I would've spent that money elsewhere. I wouldn't come back. read more
