This is legit! Owners are Japanese. We weren't that hungry and ordered only 3 dishes but I wish I could go back. The Nabayaki Udon was the best I've ever had. The broth was so flavourful. You felt like this is how it should taste with lots of mushrooms. sui choy sweet not bittter and shrimp tempura was spot on not greasy. Not tons of onion like some places like to give you. It was 16.95 but worth it and more. The sushi roll was fresh and tasty but the deep fried boneless chicken pieces fried perfectly with some kind of seasoning was unbelievable. In total is was 50.00 but I'd still go back for the quality and integrity of the food. You feel like you are in Japan!

I'm Japanese and I would say you can have authentic Sushi here. Miso soup here has a rich flavor of dashi which make me wanna go back to Japan.
It's a bit pricy but definitely worth it.
Also waiting time is a little bit long so you should go there when you have time. Don't go there when you wanna have quick dinner/lunch.
Will visit soon. -

I have to say the more times I come to this place, the more I really like coming here for good Japanese food. The quality of the food is always there every time I come. The service is the same. The service level and the food quality level is immaculately maintained. The server there is nice and friendly. The Japanese food you get is like getting a home cooked Japanese meal - very homey and warm. The most recent time I came here with D and another friend for dinner I ordered one of their dinner options. The dinner options comes with a salad and a miso soup. The dinner option that I picked the bento box had a little bit of everything - it was the perfect portion size.
This is the place to go for Japanese food if you appreciate good Japanese food. It is a bit on the pricey side, but for the entire experience definitely worth it. -

What we ordered for two:
-2 spicy chopped scallop cones
-edamame
-sunomono salad
-tempura
-avocado cucumber roll
-spicy salmon roll
-salmon sashimi
We dined on a weekday evening around 6pm. The restaurant was empty when we arrived. The restaurant felt authentic with its decor, music, and overall ambiance.
Service was great. Our waitress was friendly, checked up on us often enough and made sure our water was always topped up.
The food was really delicious and fresh. One of the best sushi restaurant I've come across in Toronto yet! -

No sure why people mentioned their sushi is fresh. I ordered three sushi a la carte and nothing I found within three items considered as fresh. The uni tasted bitter and the scallop has some sand in it.
The only item I would recommend is the rolls. They have a different ratio of sashimi and rice portion compared to the other store. This gives a different taste but it wasn't the best. However, it is cheaper than other sushi place and might be a good place for students to hang out.
