I'll start with the pros - we were warmly greeted upon entering and immediately seated. The servers were nice and friendly! The place was very clean and cozy. The whale chopstick rests were really cute. With respect to food, we weren't a fan. The Spicy Scallop roll looked great, but when you actually taste it, you'll find very little scallop and just lots of filling/crispy tempura bits. It's night & day from the one at Gal's where they actually put a good amount of scallop - it makes a huge difference in the texture. Udon was alright. Chicken was dry and broth was extremely salty. For ice cream, they offer Black Sesame and Matcha ($3.99 for a generous scoop). The Black Sesame was pretty good.

The rolls and individual pieces were excellent, soft and fresh. We were completely satisfied considering we trusted this place on Chinese New Years Eve 2026. It was an easy process to order, I thought there would be a massive wait. But upon calling was told 10-15 minutes to make the platter. So Good food, good prices and fast service. Can't beat that. An easy recommendation from me and I will be back for more of this deliciousness.

Ordered on the phone and said a 30 minute wait which we agreed to. Arrived to pick it up and still…read morewaited another 20 minutes after. The restaurant had patrons but it wasn't full as we saw empty seats. Perhaps they were back logged by having too many other take out orders. If that's the case, we expected them to have been able to plan around it as they committed to the 30 min window. We assume the delay may also be due to having only 2 sushi chefs were present so understand they need more time, but if that's the case an updated estimated completion time, an explanation as to the delay, or any type of communication would've been appreciated. Instead we were told to pay first before the additional 20 minute wait after. We got the Maki sashimi sushi combo A. 32 pieces. The best item was the spicy salmon roll. Nice crunch, good salmon to rice ratio, and the sauce was just spicy enough that those with a low tolerance could eat it and still deliver a kick to those who like spice. The sashimi was a little smaller than some other sushi take out restaurants, however. But the variety was wide. I'd come back for the variety in combo options, but not on a Friday or Saturday to avoid the wait times.

Here is a true gem that is easily overlooked but definitely worth a visit. We were at another…read moreJapanese restaurant and they had told us that their regular menu was only available for lunch. 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.

Their menu had some Korean dishes too like Bulgogi and LA galbi. I came for dinner with some relatives. We ordered a small combination platter for 4 and separate soba combo with tempura and sashimi. Food items: edamame - standard frozen stuff heated up. Needed more salt. 3/5. miso soup - watery, nothing in it. no tofu chunks, no green onions, etc etc. 2/5. Sashimi: atlantic salmon - pretty standard. some very sloppy knife work though, with uneven pieces and random thin belly pieces Tuna - looked like maguro, ahi, albacore - tasteless sadly. It had the right colors but the texture was somewhat mushy and didnt taste like much. Some pieces were semi-frozen yellow-tail - again, semi-frozen and tasteless octopus - a bit tough, really thick cut, served very cold and a bit off-putting Escolar - the "white tuna" that isnt actually Tuna and really just cheap Escolar that is awful for you. This is my tell-tale sign of a really low quality sushi place. sashimi overall - 2/5. At least nothing had gone bad. nigiri: atlantic salmon, maguro, albacore, and a mystery seared one with white flesh - I suspect this is Escolar. None of the rice was seasoned, there was no wasabi in any of them. The fish slices were sloppy too. One piece of tuna nigiri had 2 strips of tuna on it instead of a properly cut and formed slice. nigiri overall 2/5. green dragon roll - tempura shrimp inside with lots of avocado - it tastes the way you think it would. Heavy on the tempura batter though which got soggy fast. very one-dimensional. All you taste is avocado and mayo. 2.5/5. salmon lover roll - this is a bigger roll with spicy salmon inside and on top. Heavy on the mayo, also one dimensional. 2.5/5. Crazy Crab roll - this is a roll with imitation crab+mayo inside, then with a mound of more imitation crab+mayo stacked on top of each roll slice. This was just gross. You might as well spoon a jar of mayo and eat some imitation crab sticks. 1/5. Not a single bit of real crab in this. there were 3 pcs of california roll (with a chunk of more imitation crab stick in it typical of Toronto rather than the mayo crab salad in other places) and 3 pcs of spicy tuna roll. Both average for this type of place, 2.5/5. Soba noodles - the noodles were the dry kind they cooked and to my surprise it was not overcooked - texture was pretty good as far as dry noodles go. The sauce was served in a bowl made of ice. A bit of green onion and wasabi on the side. The ice bowl was the worst part of this dish - it just melted really fast and diluted the sauce to taste like nothing. Didnt help that their serve was so slow and it kept on melting while we waited. Tempura - 2 shrimp, 1 broccoli, 1 yam, 1 squash, and another veg piece i forgot. Thick batter, but crispy. Sauce was average. 3/5. free dessert of sliced (sour) oranges. Service: this was a huge problem. VERY slow. Each table has a call button but it was useless. Nobody ever came when we rang the bell (and yes it does work; we can hear the bell). We still had to flag them down. Even then half the time they forgot what we asked for. And we arent even being demanding. They completely forgot to give us utensils and dishes but brought the food out so we just sat there watching the ice melt into our soba sauce until they came after the 3rd reminder. They seemed overwhelmed and understaffed. Plenty of free parking out front in the plaza. The restaurant itself is clean enough but their seating arrangement is odd. They have dividers making it look like booths but really they are just chairs around a table. A bit awkward to climb in and out but doable. They do offer really big portions of food and you wont leave hungry. Overall, the quality here is severely lacking if you want decent quality sushi. It isnt dangerous though - nothing was foul or rotten/gone bad. Nothing about the sushi here is remotely authentic. If youve had good authentic sushi from Japan or sushi mecca's like LA or Vancouver, you will be appalled at what they serve here. But if you want typical "westernized" sushi then this place is similar to a typical AYCE sushi joint, except its not AYCE. I cannot recommend this place. I can safely say I will never be back here again.

Looking at the Yelp reviews, we figured it would be a decent place to get food from as the ratings were fairly high. However we were wrong. Upon scanning the menu, it seemed decent. Prices were a bit high but we figured it would still be cheaper than dining-out. We made a $50 purchase which included 5 rolls and a beef teriyaki bento box. The beef teriyaki bento box was $16.95 so we figured there would be quite a bit of food. However, we got about 7 small strips of beef drenched in sauce. The beef was chewy and difficult to eat. The amount of rice was unimpressive and the miso soup was grainy and unpleasing. The bento included 5 pieces of sushi (3 salmon and 2 shrimp) and a 4-piece California roll. The sushi was quite small and the salmon was cut really thin. It was nothing special. I don't like California rolls as I'm a fan of raw fish so I don't want to give a bias review on the Cali rolls. Overall, it was a pathetic amount of food that didn't even taste that good. We struggled to finish the food, not because there was too much but because we found it difficult to get down. The spicy salmon rolls we ordered didn't taste very fresh and we felt sick after eating the meal. We easily spend $50 when we dine out for sushi but the quality we get is so much better. I think I'd prefer just going out to sushi places I trust rather than ordering delivery from a place called Ume Fashion Sushi.
