we have loved Toshi takeout since he was at Shoppers World. Always get good service and the food is unvarying plus the cost is reasonable.

Great lunch spot. Bento boxes are plentiful and flavourful. Ordered sushi platters several times and has been always a hit. If in the Brampton area this is one spot I would go read more

Sorry to report, but food wasn't the same quality as my last visit. :( I was in the area, remembered about this authentic Japanese place and good experience a few years ago - pre-Pandemic - got takeout and was sorely disappointed. Despite the variety and good presentation, sushi just wasn't good mainly due to the somewhat dried out, not properly seasoned rice. Some of the makis were also coming unraveled. Order was prepared in a timely manner, accurate, and pretty reasonably priced, but food just wasn't up to par. I prefer my usual spot. read more

The food was awesome! The dumplings are good, the service was THE BEST the girl who works there with curly hair is amazing, make sure to give her tips, the ambiance was nice and quiet, a perfect place to go and eat. (Also if you're feeling nice give the girl mocha iced latte from Starbucks) read more

This is a real gem in Brampton. This place is beyond amazing! The quality of food is always the freshest in terms of restaurant quality sushi and meals. Each item has it's own unique flavors and I never get tired of getting the same items (although, I do change it up for fun some times) Love going here for special occasions especially. The staff are super friendly, no matter who it is... Never had an issue with any of them! read more

It close at 10:30am on Saturday . We order Ramen quality and quantity was good. Really nice staff(sweet and polite). Food was very flavourful and definitely worth it. Ambiance was nice too. read more

Wow, I sure do love this place. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. I've been a fan of Toshi's since they were just a little place in the food court of Shoppers World many moons ago and I can't believe I haven't reviewed sooner. Service is always outstanding. Friendly, helpful staff that know exactly how to treat their patrons always offering the perfect amount of attention. Ordered agedashi tofu to start and it is absolute perfection. Ummm ya, those are bonito flakes in the pic! Fiiiiinally ordered uni sushi for the first time in my life and holy cow what an interesting experience! My main was my favorite thing to order from here. Nabeyaki udon. Perfection in a bowl. Ultimate comfort food as far as I'm concerned and the presentation alone makes me want to give a standing ovation. Please stop in if you are in the area and if you are not, make the trip to Brampton! You won't be disappointed. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for quite some time and finally went to go check it out. We came on a weekday for dinner. The place was empty. We got there around 6:30pm. Food: Cold soba with tempura, ramen, california roll, and takoyaki. The soba was great. Havent had cold soba in a restaurant before so was pleasantly surprised that i got to try it here. It was as expected simple but good. Also presented quite nicely. My cousin tells me her ramen was the best broth she's had. I could argue otherwise but i have my own preferences. The California rolls were good. Just enough rice to filling ratio. The service was excellent. They came to check on us just the right amount of times. They were polite and very understanding of my little 2yr old. Even when a group of patrons who couldnt seem to decide if they would stay or go, they were very patient and maintained their friendliness. I would recommend this place. It is a no frills high quality Japanese restaurant. Worth the drive north from Mississauga. read more

Best Japanese restaurant ever. I've been going here ever since I could remember, probably when it first opened. Their food is always consistent, sooo flavourful, beautifully prepared and the staff there is so welcoming. My favourite is the bento box, I've never had one better quality yet, everything is super fresh and their Miso soup and salad dressing just hit you different than other Japanese restaurants. Love this place & will always recommend it to everyone read more

I've been here a while back in their take out section for a Maki party tray. I remembered the maki rolls being good then, but I've had better so I never really went back until recently. We decided to stop by in the dine-in area. We were seated quickly and there were a few tables occupied for a Tuesday night which was a good sign. I was craving udon & noticed that their yaki udon has chicken and shrimp in it... not a super fan of shrimp so I asked for a chicken yaki udon but still ended up getting shrimp too. Wasn't too upset because maybe I could've clarified better and tbh it looked delicious and the portion was huge! Sadly.. it looked better than it tasted. Well, I didn't even taste anything ... there was not enough flavour or seasoning it felt like I was eating udon with a light drizzle of water .. I was so sad because I'm a huge udon fan and given the ratings I expected a lot more. We also got an udon hot pot dish (forgot what it's called)... the portion was so small compared to mine and it was the same price ($14). It wasn't that great either ... like the yaki udon the presentation was nice but the taste was lacking. It was like udon in asian herb broth .. I can't lmao We also got two rolls... spicy salmon and I forgot the other one. They were good but smaller than most sushi places. We tried their takoyaki which was good! $5 for 5 too so cant go wrong there. But the octopus they put in the centre is smaller than other restaurants. Service was just average and typical. They'll seat you, take your order, drop off your food and take away your plates when you are done. Nothing above and beyond but nothing to complain about either. Overall my experience was just ..meh... I'd only return for their maki trays but even then that's not going to be often. read more

The most boring, overpriced Japanese spot in the city. The menu is tiny, and the quality has gone steadily downhill over the years.

I really enjoyed their restaurant before covid was a thing. Really hope they open again to eat in but for now they're next door in a smaller takeout place. Little limited menu but still awesome I got the miso ramen and the ramen there is always great. Def recommend this place. read more

I was in the Brampton area and my daughters wanted Japanese! So of course I used my trusted Yelp app and came upon a high rated Toshi Japanese Restaurant. This is the cutest place. It's owned by a Japanese family. The decor was nice and they service was amazing. Whatever ok need they're there to help and very friendly. We had tempura to start with edamame. Our meals came with soup and salad. The kids ordered their kids teriyaki chicken dinner and the portions are huge. An adult can eat that meal for only $8!! It comes with soup, salad and ice cream. Amazing. I had the udon fried noodles with chicken. The food was delicious I will definitely come back again. read more

YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE! I have been ordering from this restaurant for over a decade, and it's still my go-to! They are always so quick, and the food is always so phenomenal. THEIR SAUCE IS TO DIE FOR! I can't rave enough about this sauce! I always get take-out, so I don't know what their atmosphere is like in their restaurant, but I'm sure you won't be disappointed. This place is fresh, delicious, and so quick. I always have their teriyaki - and their sizes/prices are perfect. read more

Toshi Japanese Restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

The #5 shrimp and ginger beef is really good and the portion size (large) is huge! I have had a part my tray, which was good, but I really go there for #5 most of the time. read more

Just got a takeout from here a few days ago, so can't comment on the service, ambiance yet. I tried two different maki rolls - spicy salmon roll and salmon skin roll. They both were delicious. Salmon skin roll wasn't particularly a healthy choice as it was oily, but that's on me. And like every thing unhealthy, it tasted pretty good. read more

I get take out only here. Their Spider roll and Salmon roll are the best. Tempura udon is really good too. I dont like wasabi or ginger... when I request this upon placing my order... its a hit and miss. I have ordered here 20+ times. Only one time the rice was not cooked in the rollls. When I called to complain, the owner could care less. For that they lose a star ranking. Otherwise it would be a 4. Service is not good in the dining area... hence the take out only. read more

Toshi Japanese Restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

Toshi is quite a blessing. It really is. It is the only Japanese owned sushi and yoshoku restaurant in Brampton. When you think of it and given that there is no other authentic restaurant in Mississauga, Georgetown, Caledon or Vaughan either, it makes Toshi a gem. With that said, there were problems with the food today. Toshi's specialty is aburisushi (blowtorched sushi). I had the hotate (scallops) which comes as two pieces and Pacific (which is tuna) roll. The fish was good and was slightly seared. Aburisushi is rare so theirs is appreciated. Strangely, the aburi is not on the menu. It is only advertised on a sheet of paper at the entrance. We ordered the saba battera and the waitress returned to inform us that they were missing a key ingredient, konbu, which is the thin slice of seaweed that covers it. We persisted and it was good, but clearly missing the konbu of course. The nigiri sushi itself good, but not very good. Frankly, the rice (Shaari) was too hard. The sushi rice needs to be softer. All in all then, a few missed today, but still they have a wide and authentic offering and are still above average for sushi. I just think they can do better and should be better. On the other hand, given the area and demands of the customer base Toshi may have been swayed by the pull of clientele who wants inauthentic items like Vulcano roll or spicy this and spicy that. Who knows? The owner is Japanese, but the waitress and second chef were speaking to each other in Chinese. Finally, they have created a nice atmosphere with Japanese decorations, lanterns, boys and girls' festival dolls and zodiac figurines. Nice job which lends itself to an authentic setting, but too bad that they have a TV hanging from the roof, which is never a good sign for food. The washrooms were clean which is important and a good sign. read more

Looks can be deceiving. Exterior mall and interior decor are not the greatest looking but worth the dine in. Started with fresh garden salad, octopus deep fried balls with teriyaki sauce ( really good ), cold soba thin noodles in fish sauce ( will stay with hot next time as I'm not a fan of their cold broth) and large tempura ( shrimp is really nice with light batter). Main entrees were ramen with pork tenderloin in a savory hot broth and bento box with sushi ( very filling and well portioned). Great friendly service. Will be back. read more

I had sushi set. The fish was good and fresh. Miso soup was great. But the rice and wasabi was poor. The portion of fish on each sushi could be larger, it make better taste. In brief, this is my second time having Japanese food in Canada. Will come back and try the hot plates. Great services from lady read more

Toshi Japanese Restaurant - Sushi lunch set - Japanese Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

Came here for lunch by myself after work, The restaurant is nicely decorated, very japanese feel. The service was good, but the sushi was lacking. Rice tasted plain as if it wasn't seasoned and a few of my sushi rolls kept falling apart. It was a long wait for the food and it wasn't busy. Their nigiri is over priced as well. They don't do ayce which I knew already, but the reviews were pretty high so i wanted to try. Wont be coming back, youre better off going to 168 sushi down at Kennedy or another AYCE place. read more

Toshi Japanese Restaurant - Yam roll, dyanamite roll (JUST SHRIMP TEMPURA AND LETTUCE??) , alaska roll - Japanese Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

treats u the best been going here since i was young and like its my fav they so cute and they greet u with the brightest smile

I have been coming to Toshi for the last 10 years and today was the last time. The service has totally ruined any possibility of me coming back. The cheap people working refused after ordering $100 worth of take out to provide a packet of hot sauce. They wanted to charge $0.25 for a small empty container which I would fill with hot sauce from the self service area. After ordering at least several hundred dollars worth of takeout over the last few years they rudely refuse to give treat customers fairly. Very cheap and rude family working here. read more

Whatta gem in Brampton. If you're craving authentic sushi this is the place. Quality over quantity, that's why this place is not AYCE. Try the uni, extremely good quality in the middle of Brampton. (Even some Toronto restaurants don't supply good Uni like these guys) read more

Ordered the salmon teriyaki dinner (only have medium size) for take out it was surprisingly exceptionally good for $10. Skin on it was really tasty! Yam Tempura rolls just ok... huge thick chunks of sweet potato just meh. Not consistent because I ordered two orders and the other roll was thin deep fried yam roll which was good! Dont bother ordering spicy salmon roll its super tiny and minced with spicy mayo.... but the roll is teeny! read more

CHECK YOUR FOOD! Questionable customer service. Ordered take out because I was in the area. Ordered $40 worth of teriyaki ( one yakiniku/ shrimp and one chicken/ shrimp both with noodles) was given the wrong order (rice and vegetables and rice and chicken). After driving back 30 mins roundtrip all that was said was sorry and next time check your order. Although I should've checked. It should not be the customers responsibility to ensure the order is correct. Was not even made a fresh order but the one that was sitting on the counter for 30 mins. read more

It's rare to find a japanese-owned and operated restaurant and it was great to finally try it. I've always heard of Toshi but never got around to trying it as every time we craved sushi, we would usually go to a local restaurant or AYCE, rather than venture out for a la carte. I ordered the premium nigiri combo while my fiancé ordered the ebi fry curry and a spider roll to share. The premium nigiri combo came with 15 pieces of premium sushi. The fish was very fresh and they give you very large cuts per piece. The salmon and red tuna were my favorites in particular. My fiancé loved the ebi fry curry as they give a lot of pieces of deep fried shrimp, smothered in Japanese curry sauce. The sauce was very flavourful and had small pieces of meat along with soft potatoes and carrots. The spider roll was good as well, large pieces of soft shell crab that were delicious and fried perfectly. We probably shouldn't have ordered the roll as the entree servings were plentiful so we ended up consuming a lot of rice. The service was quick and attentive, although we noticed there was only one server for the entire restaurant. Nonetheless, can't wait until our next visit to try what else is on their menu. read more

Despite the raving Yelp reviews and a friend claiming this was the BEST sushi restaurant in the GTA, I was a skeptic coming here to set the record straight. I mean, 1) there is some pretty fierce competition in the GTA and 2) let's face it, it's north of B-town.... Well, it turns out that stereotype was wrong and I was the one in the dark the whole time. This place is truly a hidden gem. It is definitely authentic - it is Japanese owned/run and them speaking Engrish is good enough to verify that fact. The sashimi here is to die for - it is extremely fresh and has that natural sweet taste. PLUS they have torched salmon/tuna rolls here. SAY WHUT. That reason alone makes the trek to Brampton worthwhile. Highly recommend their specialty torched rolls. Tried the spicy mayo Aburi Pacific Roll (torched tuna roll with a touch of green onion) - um, need I say more? Melt-in-your-mouth refreshing goodness and lots of flavor! Order SASHIMI! As much as your wallet/budget allows! Got their combo with 3 of every type of seasonal fish and loved EVERY.SINGLE.PIECE. Even the ones I usually dislike at AYCE or sashimi platters. Plus all the slices are jumbo sizes. Not just thick, but REALLY thick. Note that the sashimi combos (excluding bento) don't come with rice! Ordered udon hotpot which was very, very good too.... so it's not just sushi! :) The lunch deals seem like a fantastic steal. This place will probably be the only place I wish I lived in Brampton just so I could go for lunch. I was wrong about Brampton and Toshi has definitely topped my list as one of my favourites for REAL sashimi/sushi. Only thing is it's a tad more expensive.... will come back when my wallet has refilled. read more

Worked here for almost a year. I had to say that everyone was like a family! Even though I read a review (SOMEWHERE) about saying that Toshi (the boss) yells at his waitresses, I think people need to understand that he is the one on the grill everyday cooking them teriyaki's!!! There is only so much he can do for Take-out AND dine-in. Most of the people who worked there have been there for many years. I regret quitting but I had to :( after eating the japanese food & sushi here, I have high judgements when I go eat at other sushi places. :) read more

Always a wonderful experience! Their dinners are also pretty authentic! My friend is Japanese and she can't get enough of this place! I recommend the jumbo dynamite roll with spicy mayo and the abruri sushi read more

I've ordered large sushi platters a dozen times since discovering this place about 10 months ago. For GTA West, this place gives great value while still delivering tasty and quality sushi that is above par in the GTA West and GTA North. Most places give you mediocre shari (sushi rice) that is either underseasoned, sloppy, or mushy in the sushi or maki rolls. Not Toshi! It's well suited in size where it doesn't overwhelm the sushi, it's nicely seasoned so it has a flavour profile (just the right amount of sweet and tart from the rice vinegar), and it's well cooked so it has a mild chew. In the sushi platter and take out platters, you get a larger variety versus other restaurants. You have items such as sweet scallops, true ebi (sweet raw shrimp) in addition to the cooked shrimp, large succulent pieces of eels that have the perfectly roasted crisp skin (and not drowning in brown cloying sauce), and a variety of fresh (not frozen) fish. The sashimi pieces are always generous and worth every penny. I really love the care and details taken into the presentation as well. Everything is always well laid out with nice little decorative flourishes. As for the restaurant, it's a nice open and clean zen like atmosphere that isn't too homey like other Japanese restaurants. It's a bit more modern than most. Service is quiet and unassuming but still very attentive. I never have to ask for a refill on the green tea. I think this is possibly one of the best Japanese restaurants in the Brampton/Mississauga/Oakville area. I highly recommend you to try it out! read more

I know the owner personally as he is a customer of mine...not to be biased, I got to know him after eating his fantastic cuisine... I'm not a sushi guy, but the sushi is fresh and the people that eat it say it is great. The teriyaki is awesome, if you go by the take out area the owner is the actual cook, who is almost always there as he runs a tight ship and takes pride in his work. Nevertheless, the take out prices are so cheap, made to order right before your eyes, the place doesnt have all the pizzaz of some restaurants, but the quality of food and the prices are awesome....give it a try... trust me you'll be sold... read more

Average tasting sushi. Good place to go if you are craving sushi but not die from all you can eat. I think I might've gone when I was TOO hungry and felt like I didn't get my money's worth. I tried the aburi specials (blowtorched sushi) because this is the only other place I've heard of having aburi. Why are they at the front door only though?! Could not find it in the menu!! The pictures were when you walk in and when I ordered, it wasn't even in the menu for me to point at and of course there was miscommunication and I got the wrong thing. Still really wanted aburi though because All you can eat definitely does not have it - and the only other time I've tried blowtorched sushi was at a high-end, modern Japanese cuisine place. So there is a bit of a bias. The fish is much fresher than your typical all you can eat (not frozen) but the flavour is overpowered if you choose to get it with wasabi mayo. I chose this option (between Japanese mayo and spicy mayo) because I wanted to taste the roll without overseasoning it myself with my own concoction of wasabi and soy sauce. I ordered 4 things but got 3/4 right: Pacific Aburi roll ($11 for 8? pieces) - it was pretty much tuna on top of an avocado roll with a little too much wasabi sauce and some scallions thinly chopped for garnish. My high expectations were disappointed. My own fault though. Salmon sushi aburi ($5.75 for 2 pieces) - instead I got the salmon sashimi aburi ($6.75 for 3 pieces)because of miscommunication. The older lady who was serving us was extremely sweet and allowed us to keep it and didn't charge us. This was probably my favourite because I love my salmon medium rare. I wouldn't have ordered this in the first place though because I could've gotten an entire filet of salmon cooked like this for that price. But I got to give them credit where it's due. The sashimi slices were THICK. Still super tasty. Hotate aburi (scallop) ($5.75 for 2 pieces) - never got this order. I'm pretty sure she forgot. But I thought I was already paying for the salmon sashimi so I didn't bother correcting her. She did however, end up bringing me the salmon sushi aburi ($5.75) I asked for. The salmon laid on top of the rice were thick and long pieces. Not sure if this was done because it would be blowtorched, but the pieces were impressive. Not what you'd see at all you can eat. Too much wasabi on this though. There was wasabi tucked in between the fish and she put wasabi mayo on top as well, not asking me if I wanted to try a different mayo on a separate dish. Green tea cheesecake ($6) - got this to go. Wish I ate it when it was colder. But even at room temperature this was my absolute favourite! You can taste the matcha and the cheesecake was a great texture. Not too dense and not too fluffy (at room temp). For $6 a slice though, I really want an entire cake from Uncle Tetsu's. My friend got the banana tempura and this is what I highly recommend! Fluffiest banana tempura I've ever had! It was delicious! Around $5-6 as well. read more

*Please keep in mind that I can no longer eat here because of a severe allergy to gluten, but before this I was a regular at Toshi's - Meaning, I know what I'm talking about;)* This place ... What can I say. Amazing, authentic Japanese food. Their teriyaki sauce is INCREDIBLE. I swear, if I could I would drink the stuff. The udon noodles ... The kappa sushi ... The tempura banana with ice-cream. Need I go on? Personally I preferred take-out - the inside restaurant is very quaint and peaceful though if you're the dine-in type. The servings were a great size - I eat like a truck driver and I was usually full to bursting when I was done. Prices are fair - not too expensive. Probably around $10 (or less) for a giant plate of food. They're great with preferences - if you don't want onion/carrot/whatever in your stir-fry they have no issues with cooking without it. Food was always perfectly cooked and flavoured. I miss this place and their sauce ever so much! read more

Very disappointed I don't write reviews at all but this place was bad enough that It got me to write one. I Been going here time to time over the years and haven't had bad experience but this is it. I'll not be going back for anything. Waste of money. I Tried to support the local restaurant during this covid and ordered a party tray A. Where do I start? Fish was butchered and ripped apart. Rolls wasn't rolled properly ripped apart as well. It wasn't even cut into even pieces. One big one small, another somewhere in the middle. One piece of sushi has so much wasabi another barely has any. Oh and the Rice was hard and chewy! If I could give this place no stars I would. You are better off going somewhere else. Even cheap all you can eat sushi place would be better than this. read more

They've got the tastiest and most generously-sized teriyaki rice dishes. They have a separate area for takeout which is convenient but what I'm not a fan of is how limited their takeout menu is in comparison to their in-dining. I really wanted ramen and their green tea cheesecake but, alas, it's not in their takeout menu so unfortunately I couldn't order it. I really wish they would accommodate and merge the menus -- I'm certain it would be a smart decision for their business and there isn't any Ramen places at all in Brampton. Aside from that, I always grab the chicken and beef teriyaki for my family or chicken and shrimp with a added broccoli. Their teriyaki sauce is so good! Small tempura and their house Salad is a must too. I wish they added avocado to their regular dynamite rolls like they usually have in all other Restaurants. read more

Read the review of Toshi, and felt it was worth the drive to try out. I ordered the Dragon Roll - eel and asked them to make a roll that wasn't on the menu. I call it a Spicy Tempura - Shrimp Tempura with Spicy Tuna. It confused them dramatically! But after they said it would cost $3 more, they made it. Both rolls came out great, fresh, and presentable. Ran out of Wassabi & Ginger. I had to wait till I got my bill to get my first refill on my water. Nice, clean place. All the dishes I saw coming out to the other tables looked great. Everyone looked very pleased with their meals. Very pleasent wait staff. read more

Looking at the reviews for Sushi places in Brampton, I really find it difficult to believe that 'all you can eat' places can get higher ratings than Toshi. Personally that is not possible. The fish here is top quality and fresh - not chemically treated like the a-y-c-e places. Service is fast, friendly and efficient. And in the end, unless someone has a gynomous appetite, the price isn't that much higher than at an a-y-c-e. That is what I come here for (please pardon me for ending with a preposition). read more

Actually this is a 4.5 star ...missing half star for a full 5 because they don't offer fresh oysters or beef sashimi/tataki. Why is that??? Is that the norm for sushi restaurants in the Peel Region because it's illegal or something?? Anyway, I really liked the service. The servers are so very polite and pleasant. They check on you every 10 - 15 minutes. The sashimi is fresh and the cooked stuff is pretty good too!! The portions are really quite large for the price. We didn't try any special rolls though. I would definitely go back when the sushi craving hits me. :) Oh, and good for kiddies too!! They have kid's meals that include a salad and icecream! read more

excellent teriyaki be sure to get the extra sauce and the broccoli as it's so fresh and delicious. prefer the noodles as the rice is a bit too bland. exceptional prices a Medium container will feed 2 adults for dinner if their portion sizes are correct read more
