Unfortunately, over the past year, we have come here less and less because of "shrinkflation". I understand the price of everything has gone up and I can somewhat stomach that but when I'm paying more and getting less, I struggle to justify it. Sadly though, when we came here last night to get a takeaway, we were really disappointed that the quality of food has also taken a steep decline. The fish was not fresh and the rice had a musty smell and flavour to it. Even the spicy salmon rolls and california rolls left a lot to be desired. Overall, everything just lacked freshness and flavour. Needless to say, I did not enjoy my meal and I will likely be looking for a new sushi spot. The owners are such wonderful people though and they have fed us so well over the years that it just breaks my heart to see this decline. I hope it can get turned around.

The owners were so nice and gave us lots of variety and even gave us extra pieces! We really enjoyed the different types of sushi like the seaweed salad rolls, eel rolls, surf clam sashimi, octopus sashimi and sushi. Everything was fresh and tasty. The restaurant probably has around 10-15 tables that can fit 4 people (more if the tables are combined). Prices are great and the customer service is excellent! Owners are super humble and were thankful for us supporting their business. So glad to have found a sushi spot in the area. We'll be back! Thank you Sakada Sushi for the great experience.

This didn't sit well with us, so we had looked to Yelp to find another venue and Nichiban Sushi 4 U popped up. I never heard of Nichiban before, but I instantly recognized the location as another favourite food joint is located adjacent to them (Fat Ninja). We decided to give them a try. I can't say we weren't a bit hesitant when we arrived as they are located at the back of the plaza, away from the limited street frontage the plaza could afford. However, I can say with confidence that we were very happy we ate at Nichiban! The service was great, the prices were excellent and most importantly, the food was spectacular! The ingredients were very fresh and full of flavour! The bento box I ordered was well prepared and the food was just right. The chicken katsu was extremely tasty and the gravy was delicious! I loved the tempura: just enough batter to be flavourable and not overwhelming. I could actually see the vegetables underneath the batter, unlike other restaurants that simply oversaturate the batter. The sushi plates were also very good; the sashimi was ultra fresh and the presentation was great! Someone ordered the beef teriyaki bento box and everything was just right! Overall, I would highly recommend Nichiban to anyone who adores Japanese cuisine - excellent tasting food and great pricing will make you a believer!

Tempura Bento - Came with miso soup, salad, California roll, 2 gyozas, rice, 2 shrimp and 4 pc veggies. They must have given more before because there was alot of empty space in this bento. Gyoza skins were hard pretty terrible to chew on. Tempura was nice, crispy and came out hot. California roll was pretty standard. In all a decent set. Torched sushi Unagi and hotate - 3 blocks of rice with a bit of unagi and scallop on top. It felt a bit unbalanced and expensive for what it is. Would not recommend.

I came in with a group of 7 friends and it wasn't too busy on a Friday night. The place itself is small and cozy but the service was a little slow (there was one server and one chef). My boyfriend and I split a sushi set and some rolls on the side but they had completely forgotten our sushi set. I understand it was just an honest mistake on their part, but the server didn't apologize or acknowledge that they had forgotten our order and simply said it's on it's way even though at this point everyone else at our table was long done eating. The sushi itself tasted pretty good and I appreciated the large portions of fish they give, but a few of us would have actually preferred thinner slices with more pieces (the pieces of sashimi were so thick that it was a little tough to eat). I have had better sushi downtown TO for the price and the value really wasn't up to par.

I ordered the eel over rice, basically I judge a Japanese restaurant based on this dish, and I'm very picky.

Tomo has been our go-to sushi place for more than 10 years. Their sushi is more like the sushi we…read moretasted in Japan than what you'll find at many other sushi restaurants in the area. The size of the sushi, the quality of the rice, and the freshness of the fish are all perfected. Some other sushi spots nearby are more customized to suit the local market. Tomo recently renovated the entire restaurant, giving it a more modern and stylish look. The prices seem to have stayed the same, but they no longer provide complimentary crunchy noodle soup or orange slices after the meal. We've been ordering their Chef's Choice Party Tray for years. Recently, they introduced an even more premium option above that. It's a bit too expensive for us, so this time we ordered from their seasonal Summerlicious menu instead. Every dish had interesting flavors and was well worth trying. The service is always friendly and consistent. We'll definitely continue coming back to try more of their menu.

It was 4pm so there were only one or two other customers. We debated getting a platter, but couldn't resist their signature rolls. I ordered the seafood yaki udon, while my boyfriend got the chicken katsu. We also got the volcano spicy salmon dynamite roll to share. My udon tasted great, but it was about three times too saucy (took some home in a takeout container and liquid oozed everywhere). The rolls are definitely larger than normal, and each sushi was a two-biter. Tasted fantastic, but not at all spicy.

I ordered a salmon teriyaki bento box with expectations that it would be very small but I was pleasantly surprised that the box was gigantic and I was so full after I finished eating it.

It took us about an hour to get our food and the restaurant was very small and not even busy at that time.
