    I can see why patrons are drawn to the restaurant. It's a cozy place that seems more at home in a suburb than amongst the Yorkville set. Their menu's extensive and prices are very reasonable, especially given its location. Five large prawns arrive with the shrimp tempura ($12), freshly fried so it's wonderfully hot and crispy. While it could have benefited from being drained a bit longer and the dipping sauce less watered down, it's a great way to get the meal started shared amongst a table. I was astounded by the size of the hamachi kama ($9) given the bargain price point. Sadly, you get what you pay for as the generally tender fish jowl was overcooked leaving the dish too dry and a bit chewy. Always go with a restaurant's namesake menu item as the Kiro roll ($15) was my favourite bite that evening. The rice was pressed to a cardboard thinness, the California roll base (imitation crab, avocado, and cucumber) topped with salmon, scallop, and tobiko before having a light torching. Try as I might, I could not get the entire bite into my mouth in one go. There was a great number of toppings and the julienned cucumbers so crispy and fresh that it brightened up the entire maki. If only the spicy mayo had some heat, this would have been perfect. If you're not a fan of oily aburi, you'll love Kiro's ebi pressed sushi ($16). The shrimp topping didn't have an ounce of mayo instead relying on tobiko, scallions, and furikaki (a rice topper) to give it texture and flavour. Of course, that dryness doesn't lend itself to capturing that smokiness and caramelized colour you'd expect from a torched sushi but does create a lighter bite.

    Wanted to like this place. It's rather affordable for the style of food which is sashimi dons. Got the Tuna and Salmon don which was loaded with tons of sashimi. Tasted fresh and was topped with some furikake seasoning for some extra flavor. I thought it was great...until I went home and had an upset stomach afterwards. Needless to say I had to take some stars off but it would have been an easy 4 stars.

    Kiro Roll, Salmon Fusion Roll, Spicy Salmon Dragon Roll and the Crispy Spicy Tuna Roll.

    Was heading to a concert and decided to try Kiro Sushi since it was nearby. I tried the Spicy Salmon Dragon roll, Crispy Spicy Tuna Roll, Kiro roll and Salmon Fusion roll. All were really good and tasty! You can see that the staff took their time with making the rolls and they were presented so nicely! The rolls were decently priced as well! The ambiance was nice and cozy and filled up quickly! The only downside was that we had to wait a long time to get staff for the bill. In the end, since we were running late for our concert, we decided to go up to the counter and pay there. Otherwise, would recommend for people who like sushi and want to try a variety of different rolls!

    Sashimi Don

    Absolutely wonderful. My favourite sushi spot in Toronto. Kiro Sushi consistently delivers an exceptional dining experience that keeps me coming back time and time again. The fish is incredibly fresh, with each piece expertly prepared and beautifully presented. The rice is perfectly seasoned and the temperature is just right. The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is attentive without being intrusive. Whether you're ordering traditional nigiri, creative specialty rolls, or sashimi, everything arrives with remarkable quality and attention to detail. If you're searching for authentic, delicious sushi in the city, Kiro Sushi is an absolute must-visit destination.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    I came for lunch with some friends, as one highly recommended this spot. We were quite hungry coming in, and left full and happy :) I got the Roll Set #1 with Dynamite and Spicy Tuna rolls, both of which were fresh, tasty, and quite filling! Miso soup and salad were provided on the side as well. Although there was only one waitress, the service was very efficient. Overall, this is a solid spot for sushi in the city. I'm excited to come again!

    I've been here a few times for takeout and love coming here. There are big pieces of fish in the sushi, and it's always fresh. Even the tempura is always crisp, not soggy. Love Kiro!

    A bit of a hidden gem in this area! Located right next to the Toronto Reference Library, this small, unassuming restaurant has a mellow, sedate vibe with comfortable private booths - perfect for a relaxed evening. The menu is quite extensive, but we decided on the sashimi don and zaru soba. Both came in beautiful, delicate bowls - the stunning presentation was better than shown in the menu pictures! The sashimi was extraordinarily fresh, especially the amaebi (sweet shrimp) - I almost moaned as it went down my throat. The other thick slices of fish were delectable as well, and the sushi rice was well cooked to great texture and just lightly seasoned. The soba was also enjoyable, paired with a subtle dipping sauce and crispy, savoury tempura. As expected, service was excellent and our waitress was kind and warm - the lovely Japanese hospitality we recognize. Menus, tea, and food all arrived promptly, but we were never hurried. Although prices are slightly high, it's quite reasonable for the area and is assuredly compensated by the superb quality of the meal. I will have this place earmarked for future visits!

    Decor: Small restaurant with four booths alone th side wall & some 4 seater tables. Wooden tables, fabric covered seats in the booths. Modern light fixtures. Food: Delicious Japanese food! Some rolls unique to here that I haven't seen elsewhere. For appetizers we had the beef short ribs & chicken karage. I had the pink lady & salmon Aburi dragon. So yummy & presentation was top notch. Clean, minimal & the food is the star. Hubby had the yam & avocado roll which was bigger in size than I'd anticipated. I couldn't finish my rolls so I boxed them up to go. For dessert they only have ice cream (3 flavours) or cheesecake (2 flavours). We had the black sesame ice cream. Again, quality was great & the ice cream was scrumptious. Service: When we came in there were only two waitresses. Probably there isn't room for more waitstaff as it's a small place. The restaurant wasn't full but it seemed busy. There were plenty of people picking up their take away orders. Washrooms: This is important. In my opinion if you run a restaurant the washrooms must be clean. I don't care how nice the decor is if the washrooms are dirty. There were 2 stalls in the ladies washroom & it was clean. Hubby said the men's washroom only had one stall & their washroom was clean too.

    Kiro Sushi, located at the back of the Toronto Reference Library, serves amazing quality sushi and sashimi. Our fav is their takeout platter. The sushi chef plate it so nice on their circular tray, and it's ready to serve at our dinner table. Bonus: Take-out cash order is 10% off.

    Very disappointed in Kiro. First of all have to say I ordered with Uber so maybe things would be a little better at the restaurant but I doubt by much. The presentation was extremely messy sushi pieces in oversized packages and moved around and rolled around. The amount of rice provided in the sushi was the least I have ever experienced with sushi. Rice is the cheapest ingredient so surprised they would be so stingy on it. Lastly the sushi tastes a little weird, not fresh, and I just hope I don't get sick from this dinner

    tempera udon $16 but comes with three Shrimp tempuras and vegetable tempuras

    The best original Japanese food you will get in downtown Toronto without being ripped off. Amazing Udon soup with massive amounts of shrimp tempura for 16$ Sushi and rolls are so fresh Miso cod was one of the best I've tasted Very undervalued for the amazing food and service. And 10% off just ask the server My new favorite yorkville restaurant Not pretentious

    one of our favourite places for sushi in downtown with its affordable sashimi sets. there were a lot of different varieties in sashimi and it was all very fresh!

    Pork Katsu Bento Box lunch special 12.95
    Chris C.

    While the prices have gone up since my first review, less than a year ago, the food tastes very good and the quality has remained consistent. Consistently good! While working in the neighbourhood, Kiro Sushi has been one of my favourite lunch spots. I've tried many places in the area and this represents one of the best values and the food is very tasty and plentiful. I had the Teriyaki Chicken Bento Box, also the first meal I had here. It's served with rice, Japchae (noodles), Gyoza (dumplings), California Roll, Miso Soup, and Salad. That's still a lot of bang for the buck! As with every meal I've had here, it tasted pretty darn good and was very filling. I've also enjoyed the chicken katsu, pork katsu, and the beef short ribs. Sadly, with my office closing down shortly, this may be my last meal here. If you work or live nearby, drop in for lunch!

It's my go-to spot to get my don fix - I love the wide variety of dons (rice bowls) that they offer with various fish and seafood combinations. There are also unique appetizers in the menu, such as Purple Yam Croquettes, Crab Crackers, Braised Bamboo Shoots with Shirasu (immature whitebait fish), and Takowasa (marinated raw octopus pieces, to be eaten with or wrapped in nori / seaweed). Although the dons are the main highlight of their menu (hence the restaurant name), they also offer traditional sushi, sashimi, sushi rolls and sets (similar to other Japanese sushi restaurants). Miso Aburi Scallops were very flavourful - nicely torched, giving the scallops a nice grill / char taste. They came with red and green seaweed, and a bit of fish roe. Large Premium Hana Don contained a good amount of fish and seafood, including a whole abalone, uni, shrimp in the shell, aburi salmon, ikura (salmon roe), salmon sashimi, tuna sashimi, yellowtail sashimi, other various fish sashimi, tamago (egg), and a few slices of cucumber on a generous bed of rice. I liked that the rice was a mix of white rice and some type of dark-coloured grains. Unatama Don came with a big piece of unagi and tamago (egg) that were both excellent. The sashimi were all fresh. Okonomiyaki was disappointing but it was sort of expected... for only $9, it was about 99% just flour pan-fried in a patty, without any substantial fillings (unlike real okonomiyaki, which usually contains protein / seafood, cabbage, eggs, and other ingredients).

The fishes were plated very pretty and because it's sushi of course it tasted good. But I was surprised at the level of wasabi that was plated. Cleared up my sinuses for 30 seconds. The establishment is very clean and bright and a great place to head to if you're in a rush.

I ate a couple of pieces and the crisp texture and flavor was wonderful. I had a bite of rice and when I got to the cabbage to my dismay I found a long piece of hair in it. I immediately lost my appetite and all I could think about was how great the two bites of chicken was. I gave up the plate and showed the staff what I found.

I'm struggling to hold back the tears now as I write. I did get to try the parmesan fries which were ok. I also tasted the udon which is not one of their stronger dishes. This probably would have been five stars had it not been for the hair. I know this happens on the rare occasion but probably shouldn't if hair nets are worn. If you do try out this place, expect great katsuya.
