Kinoya Sushi and Bar is a cozy downtown sushi spot that focuses on fresh seafood and a more…read moretraditional approach to Japanese cuisine. We walked into a warm, intimate space that works well for a relaxed lunch or dinner before a show nearby. The restaurant is small, but the seating is well arranged, and the low lighting creates a calm atmosphere that fits the traditional style of the food. The location in the Entertainment District makes it a convenient choice, especially for anyone looking for a sit-down meal in the area. The sushi is clearly the highlight here. We tried a selection of nigiri and sashimi and found the fish tasted fresh, with salmon, hamachi, and tuna consistently standing out for their clean flavor and texture. The cuts were generous and well prepared, letting the quality of the seafood speak for itself. Rolls like the King Crab Maki and Negitoro Maki were well balanced without being overloaded with sauces, and the rice had a good texture that held up against the fillings. The bento boxes and chirashi are also good options if you are looking for a more filling meal, offering a mix of fresh fish, rice, and sides that round out the experience. Service is generally friendly and attentive, though the restaurant can get busy during dinner hours. We noticed the flow of the meal was smooth, and the staff checked in at the right moments without hovering. Reservations are a good idea if you are visiting on weekends or before nearby performances, as the small size of the dining room means tables fill up quickly. The pacing of the meal was comfortable, and we never felt rushed even as the restaurant filled up. Pricing falls into the mid-to-upper range for sushi in downtown Toronto. Portions are not oversized, but the freshness and careful preparation make it feel worthwhile if quality is your priority. The quality of the fish and the attention to detail in the preparation justify the cost, and the overall experience feels considered and well executed. Kinoya Sushi and Bar is a reliable spot for fresh sushi in the downtown core. It may not be the flashiest sushi restaurant in Toronto, but the consistently high-quality fish, well-executed menu, and convenient location make it an easy place to return to when you are craving good Japanese food. The balance of freshness, atmosphere, and service makes it a dependable choice for a satisfying meal in the Entertainment District.

We all each got miso soup and a salad as a starter. I got the Maki Set B which includes the dynamite roll and spicy salmon roll ($15.95). My sister and I split the butterfish roll ($6.95). My brother got the bento box with shrimp and tempura veggies ($13.95). In terms of portion sizes, I have not seen a bento box with this much food and this great of a deal at other restaurants before. For the sushi, it was delicious and presentation was beautiful. The maki set was served on a wood board with ample wasabi and ginger. The rice to fish ratio was excellent and the fish tasted so fresh. I loved the dynamite roll and the tempura was still extra crispy. This was also my first time having butterfish. Not a sushi connoisseur so I can't eloquently describe what I tasted but I know it tasted great. The prices are fair and for what quality sushi you're getting, I felt it was worth it. Kibo Sushi also has a $5 and $10 cash and carry deal where you can purchase a small or large tray of their prepackaged sushi. It looked like a good deal as well.

And common sense would tell us that this place has got to be good, right? Unfortunately, reality suggested that this place is neither good nor authentic (I've been told by someone that this one is the better of the two locations). My review is purely based on a chirashi lunch that I ordered. The sashimis despite tasting decent, were cut into varying, but yet inconsistent shapes. The salmon which was the best tasting of all the fishes was cut into pretty long slices with a short width. I can't see why it's done this way. The tuna was cut into probably the most appropriate dimension. The one measly piece of hamachi was so thinly sliced and so small that they might as well not including it. The cooked shrimp and octopus tentacle didn't taste like much and the octopus was way too tough and chewy. The rice was equally upsetting. I like the fact that they were quite liberal with the tobiko, but what's with the soya/teriyaki sauce on the rice??? I know this place is Korean owned, but if they are branding themselves to be a fusion Japanese restaurant, I can sort of understand the sauce. But, that's not what they are purporting themselves to be. The rice was also too strong on rice vinegar Although there aren't many Japanese options in the area, I don't think I'll order from this place again.

What makes Tokyo Sushi great? The price! Me and my wife get food for 2 every friday and its 6.75$ for both of us insane deal. It used to be about 5$. That is just such an unbeatable deal. The sushi itself is good. Some days noticeably fresher and better than other days and usually when theyre very busy the fish is fresher which makes sense but we happily have this every Friday. Also the staff are very nice aswell and know her by name. We usually have spicy salmon crunchy rolls. Great deal.
