The food here is fresh but this place pisses me off all the time in take out service . They tell when to come then you end up standing around for 35 minutes watching them frantically packing food or answering phones without even checking up front With customers picking up. It's like watching a game of Overcooked. I get that it's busy but I don't appreciate being made to wait next to other people in the same situation during a pandemic. And my food is cold. read more

Love this little gem of a place! Excellent addition to the east Danforth neighbourhood. Fresh fish, fair prices, good portions. When I asked for no surf clam in my sushi boat, the server kindly accepted my request and gave me an alternative. Service staff was nice and brought out the food in courses (miso soup first, then salad, then sushi boat), which I appreciate. Excellent timing. The only thing I wish this place had was a patio, but the indoor is comfy and inviting. I will be returning for quality and value! read more

Yanagi Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Was pleasantly surprised by this spot. Ordered rolls, nigiri and some fried chicken. Presentation looked great, tasted great.

Have tried a lot of their dishes. Their food quality never disappoints me, their sushi or even bibimbap is always superb. Price reflects exactly what you get, so it's worth. The best thing is their food presentation in my view, which is always beautiful. The restaurant is packed almost every weekend, so service is a bit low, but staffs are nice and friendly. read more

The rolls we're really disappointing. For the price we expected something on par with Mi.Ne. It was ok. Not bad. But certainly not good. The reviews were very misleading and set expectations too high. Would not go here again. read more

Service was very slow so don't eat here if you are super hungry or in a rush. It was bad service just slow. But the sushi was some of the best sushi I have it had. It was really good so I couldn't be too mad about the wait. read more

Fresh and delicious. Good service. Price for two + 1 drink each with tip is about $70 to $80. Will go again.

Best sushi on the Danforth! Love this place, the sushi is always fresh and their maki rolls are delicious.

Another very mediocre sushi place.. fish wasn't fresh night I had it probably 3 days old or so, and was of poor quality. If you like rolls the California roll that came with it was edible but my review is on the sushi and sashimi. It seems as though people leaving reviews that this is great sushi are Eating it for the first time or perhaps haven't tried good quality authentic sushi read more

Rolls were delicious. Loved the Maple Roll. Sashimi was fresh. Can't wait to go back! Hopefully tonight :)

Just tired this place for the first time. Amazing! Did takeout, fresh and perfect execution. Not overly ricey. Green Dragon,Spicy Salmon, Tuna Lover are all great rolls. This will be my new place if they can be produce like this every time.m read more

The quality of the sushi was good, I've just had better. The golden dragon roll was really good though. Agree with some other reviewers, service is slow, but friendly. read more

This place is terrible at Uber eats. We did not get our food until more than an hour after we delivered. It was a long waiting period to begin with and then our delivery guy would not come in the rain. Do not order Uber eats from this place unless you want to be waiting and frustrated for an hour. read more

Excellent sushi! Placed a pick up order for Medium tray (44pieces). Took about 40 minutes. Sushi was fresh and delicious. The rolls were well made with lots of ingredients. Very happy to find another good sushi place on the Danforth. Would highly recommend to others. read more

My favorite sushi place eastern toronto. The food is so good, really well made. The rice layer is really thin and the filling is more than what you would expect. I always had excellent service both when I dine in and when I take out. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone looking for great sushi at a reasonable price. read more

Tried it based on the Yelp reviews and was not disappointed! Reservations recommended on weekends (for good reason). Sashimi quality was amazing and special rolls (Tiger, Maple & Crunch at this seating) was outstanding. read more

Excellent sushi! Just picked up the Danforth Sushi for 2 and it's delicious! The take out platter offers a very good selection of sashimi, sushi and a large maki roll. The fish is extremely fresh and the nice touches such as the flower and Japanese maple leaf make this place stand out! Most sushi places can learn a thing or two from Yanagi! The decor is very nice and welcoming and the staff are very courteous and professional. We'll have to come back to dine at the restaurant soon. This is our new go to place for sushi take-out night for the wife and I. read more

Went here for a friend's birthday. It was a little out of the way but since we already had plans on the Danforth, it worked out. Now, we usually eat ayce but thought we'd give this place a shot and unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures. We had some salmon, surf clam and shrimp sashimi which were all pretty standard. An order of the japchae, I think that's what it's called (glass noodles), gal bi, a dish that resembled beef bulgogi (but wasn't) and assorted tempura. Food came with bowls of rice, salad and miso soup. All the food was delicious. Our waitress was very attentive and the chef even sent out a complimentary salmon carpaccio, which was very tasty. It was about $90 between 3 of us, so price wasn't bad at all. And we got some delicious orange slices with the bill. I would definitely eat here again if in the area. read more

Another high quality dinner at a reasonable price. Fish is fresher at Yanagi, great attention to detail. Enjoy !!

I've been to a lot of sushi restaurants but the quality and freshness of the fish not to mention the overall balance of flavors and textures in the rolls and other dishes is outstanding. Just wow. read more

Wow. Words cannot describe our disappointment in this restaurant. We tried the old restaurant and were underwhelmed, so decided to give the new owners a chance. It was a disappointment from the get go. This was our experience from February 2016, but only getting a chance to post a review now. Phoned in for a take-out order and were told it would be 40 minutes since they were a bit busy. We were a bit shocked at that but gave them the benefit of the doubt since it was a Friday evening. We went to the restaurant to pick up our order to find only 4 or 5 tables. We ended up waiting an additional 20 minutes. Really? An hour to get a take-out order at a place that wasn't even that busy? An earlier review also commented on understaffing and slow service. Is there only one chef running between the kitchen and sushi bar? They could see our obvious annoyance at having to wait and were nice enough to offer us a 10% discount on our next visit. Next visit? How about something for this visit?? Food was average. Nothing to write home about. The aftermath is another story. Our weekend was a write-off. I am talking severe food poisoning here. One person recovered by Saturday evening. The other by Monday. Never in our lives have we experienced food poisoning this badly. We both work in healthcare so we knew this was bad and never have we ever been more tempted to go to emerg. After a phone call to the restaurant to inform them, they were both sympathetic and apologetic. Still not enough to get us back into this establishment. read more

Understaffed and slow. Ordered twice from this place, first time they added an extra order to my bill which I didn't see until after. This used to be the Signature Kitchen, which was pretty good as far as Japanese places go. Not sure what happened. read more

Amazing food and wonderful service. The atmosphere is quiet, clean and private. Prices are a bit higher than many sushi restaurants, but well worth the few extra bucks. The only issue I might have is the tempura... A we bit on the greasy side the two time sthat I had it, but the rolls, miso and salad are spectacular. read more

Great food, I recommend picking it up instead of using UberEats as there seems to be a consistent issue with orders being delayed.

We did takeout. It's not a place for cheap sushi, but you are clearly paying for quality, care and skill. Green Dragon rolls - the avocado was so creamy and so filling. The sheer mass of such a pricy ingredient was impressive! No skimpy bits of underripe avocado here! Everything was exquisitely sliced, arranged, presented, even for takeout! Usually I laugh at people who take photos of their meal, but it felt almost wrong to bite into these creations! This is likely why others claim service is 'slow' - they're not making mall or fast food here, they're taking time FOR YOU cos you're worth it! If you need fast & cheap (who doesn't sometimes) there are more appropriate places. read more

Love this place! The atmosphere is so chilled. I love the music they play. The server is fast, super friendly and such a sweetheart. The food is great too. I love it. read more

This place has much higher quality fish than its competition on the Danforth. It also serves raw oysters, sometimes! And somehow their avocado is always ripe and soft but never spotty. My only wish is that they had a real website with a complete menu available; having JPEGs of the menu on FB doesn't work very well. Similarly, we ordered takeout and received no menu with the order, which makes future ordering a tad more difficult. But everything we've eaten there has been quality, and I can't wait to try more! read more

Not a good first experience. I was new to the neighbourhood and this was the first restaurant I went to. Not only did we have to ask for menus, but had to call the waitress to take our order - note the restaurant was not busy whatsoever - after waiting over close to 20 minutes. Service was incredibly slow and unaccommodating, not to mention the food is quite pricey. Yes the sushi is of good quality but there are many places you can get the same quality for less. Would definitely not go back here again. read more

Very fresh sushi, but always understaffed and slow. Rolls take 1 hour to make. Even calling ahead for pick won't be punctual, I'm now waiting another 30min on top of when I called in 30mins ago. read more

My absolute favourite new sushi place. Every bite is delicious. I drive 45 minutes from the west end almost every week just to eat here. Gets busy and service can be a little slow but worth the wait. read more

Freshest Sushi in Toronto!! We tried their Sushi boat and some rolls and the place was phenomenal. The reviews were great, and the pictures looked good, so we stumbled into the place. Staff was friendly and always attentive and decor was great too. Really good atmosphere. I must emphasize... The best thing about this place is their food, and I truly think this is the best Sushi restaurant in Toronto. A try is a must!!!! read more

Mediocre sushi and priced bit high as well. Nothing special and rolls are somewhat irregular. The environment is pretty cozy with good sake/beer/wine choices. Unfortunately kind of resort to this place due to lack of good sushi choices in the neighborhood. read more

Good food but the service is REALLY SLOW!!! Waited for more than an hour just for the food to come. They should hire more staff specially their kitchen staff instead making costumers wait. read more

Small a la cart sushi tucked away on the danforth. Nice atmosphere and the sushi was excellent. Meat to rice ratio spot on and service was good. A bit on there pricy side but is definitely worth it. read more

We order Danforth boat for two every Friday and the quality is very good at all times. Unfortunately their prices went up. Danforth boat was $42 and now $48. read more

This is my go to sushi place on the Danforth. Fresh and so yummy every time! Good variety of rolls and their sashimi is excellent. I would say it's mid-range price for sushi in the city but the quality makes it worth it. read more

This place surpassed my expectations by a mile. Very decent meal, the sushi rice was flavored very well. The sushi rolls and bibimbap were exceptional for the neighborhood. This is a huge step up from the previous owners IMHO. The Servers were accommodating to our two little ones. We will definitely go back. read more

This is our 'go-to' japanese place in this neighbourhood. There are other cheaper japanese restaurants in the vicinity but the quality of the food here is superior and keeps us coming back, despite higher prices. Pretty much always fairly quiet but caters to neighbourhood families. read more

So glad we have a great sushi place in the hood. Wish I had discovered it earlier. I visited midday so had one of the lunch specials - spicy salmon and spicy tuna rolls, comes with soup and salad. Everything was great, and the rolls were a great size. Just a note for anyone who isn't a fan of spicy - these were probably the spiciest sushi rolls I've ever had (which doesn't bother me) but just a heads up if you're not a fan of too much spice. Can't wait to go back! read more

Great food! We had some specialty rolls, some classic rolls and some sashimi. All was fresh and tasty with nice presentation. We took out but the dining room was clean and they staff very friendly. We finally found a great sushi restaurant in the Coxwell / Danforth area!! read more
