Happy Sushi

We’ve ordered here twice, once in restaurant and once a party tray for my fiancé’s birthday. Both times the sushi was just OK. You can taste something off about it — freshness, quality — something. It’s still good and the price is decent. I wouldn’t go here for a date or special meal, but Tuesday when you’re craving sushi after work — go for it.
I do have to mention how very sweet the waitress and chefs were to us on each occasion we’ve been there. All smiles, great service. Just a joy to be around.

I’ve been coming here since they first opened and is definitely my favourite sushi in the neighbourhood! The tempura is always nice and crunchy and is not over battered, and the sushi is always fresh.
I always order the Vegetable Bento Box and the quality is always to my expectation. I find when I try a new restaurant I am usually disappointed, the quality isn’t as good as it is here.
The sushi is always nicely rolled and does not come apart like at Double Sushi.
Great sushi for the cheap price!

Probably my favourite sushi place at the moment for cheap good quality. Their lunch specials are delicious and an amazing value. Go here if you find yourself by Woodbine!
My favourite is the grilled salmon roll — incredibly rich flavour wise, high quality salmon, delicious!
Also from coast to coast, they probably make the best yakitori I have experienced.

The food is decent, the music is relaxing, the prices are reasonable, the restaurant is quaint and the service is excellent. Perfect date place.

I randomly came across this place walking in the neighbourhood today. I am happy that I came because it really did make me feel welcome and happy there. The server host guy was very attentive and welcoming during my stay. I would totally return to the neighbourhood and eat at Happy Sushi :)

Good sushi place, The rolls are a bit expensive in my opinion but the size of the roll is acceptable. Overall not a bad sushi place at all.

NOT impressed by this place at all. The food is on par but the service was very bad. There were 5 adults and 1 child in our party. We ordered 5 dishes. They brought up 4 forcing us to share and finally, when we were all done they brought out the last dish. There were also lots and lots of flies in the back near the washrooms. Disgusting !!!

Food is on par but service sucks: we ordered 5 dishes and they brought out the 5^th dish after we are already done. There were lots of flies in the back near the washrooms — rather disgusting !

To start the food is somewhat on par with other sushi restaurants. I had very rubbery sashimi from here the other day. My wife had undercooked vegetarian sushi. Although I will say the staff are friendly, the restaurant itself is disgusting. You can smell the mold. It seems very damp in the restaurant. The décor hasn’t been upgraded since the 80’s. The restroom is also pretty gross. Head east to Double Sushi, they are great. Sorry guys.

I invited my friends over to celebrate my birthday
We had a WONDERFUL time.
The staff has charm and is really pleasant.
They really went out of their way.
My friends were surprised how often I go there.
This is a place I feel I can just relax and stay
a few hours to rest and rejuvenate
the food is consistently really good too in my experience
I REALLY like the staff, be sure to say hi to the chef,
he’s a really nice guy

Wanted to get take out tonight after work and since I work so close to Happy sushi decided to try it. The staff was very friendly and took my order very quickly. Ordered the tempura tofu, tempura veggies and the the vegetarian sushi combo. When I got home was impressed of how much food I got for $ 20! Everything was great (Only problem was my tempura wasn’t hot anymore but that’s cuz it takes me over an hour to get home lol). Will definitely go back!

I have visited Happy Sushi at least 30 times– maybe more — primarly eat-​in and also take-​out. Happy Sushi is not the best sushi restaurant that I have visited, it probably mediocore overall, however, they offer very good value, good and fast service and very fresh fish and thus my 4 star rating. As well, the area is a relative void for restaurants, so this place is valued in our neighborhood. The ambience is relaxing, cozy and comfortable, service prompt and friendly. Recommended.

Just as the rating explanation says, «Yay! I’m a fan.» It’s not «downtown» sushi, but it does just fine for a night in! We’ve done both pick-​up and delivery.
Happy Sushi has the best prices for sushi delivery in my area — and that is often the deciding factor on busy/​lazy nights. Food is delish, delivery usually takes between and hour and an hour and a half (which is the same as every other kind of delivery we get except sometimes big chain pizza).
You could think of it more as an «Asian Fusion» joint rather than strictly Japanese (i.e. the fortune cookies, curry category on the menu), but it does offer MANY more Japanese selections than any other specific Asian cuisine.
Speaking of the menu selections, there are A TON. Huge menu. Lots for vegetarians, and lots for those who are NOT sushi fans (Teriyaki, Kara Age, Tempura, Donburi, Ramen, etc.). And YES they have all your sushi favourites, and a great selection of unique offerings.
The miso soup I mentioned in my last review must have been a fluke — we’ve ordered 3 – 4 more times since then and every time has been FAB.
My fave = yam tempura/​avodaco roll. Mmmmmm…

Don’t let the dive-​y interior fool you. Happy Sushi offers larger portions of great food, friendly service and reasonable prices. So happy to have found them in the neighbourhood. I will become a regular!

Excellent. Great service, tasty food. Veg options on the menu that they’ll make vegan if you ask.

Live nearby and have been a handful of times for one reason and one reason only…
The people in this neighbourhood who love their sushi REALLY want this place to work out. But let’s face it folks, this place is less than mediocre at best. I agree with most of these reviews (good and bad), but in the end, what you should be doing is getting your lazy ass in your car or hopping on the subway to head somewhere else cause this place is simply NOT GOOD. All I can do is keep crossing my fingers and hope that gentrification speeds up a little around here!

Customers walk in to an enthusiastic «HIIIIIIIIII» from the entire staff and are shown out in the same fashion. Sometimes the customers join in! This is a quirky sushi restaurant with really friendly owners/​staff. My husband and I go in here a lot. If there is ever a problem (we go in often enough that this is bound to happen) the team at Happy Sushi is quick to fix any problems. It’s not unusual to get a free miso soup, tea or sample maki when they have something new. In my opinion, some of their highlights include a sweet potato tempura and avocado maki and mango maki. There are plenty of options and they are all well priced.

I have been a customer of Happy Sushi for a few years. Not because their sushi is particularly good; it falls firmly in the mediocre category. But, the ingredients were always fresh, it was nearby, and it was cheap. The lack of any better options made Happy Sushi win by default. Until tonight. We ordered the Green Dragon Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll, Yam and Avocado Roll and some Chicken Katsu. We placed our order at 5:45. Our food arrived at 7:10, a full 1 hour and 25 minutes later. The delivery driver kept blaming the restaurant. And then — get this — he gave us the bill and pointed out where to write in his tip! Major balls, dude. I don’t care if it was the kitchen’s fault or your fault, you will not be receiving a tip for delivering food 1 h 25 min after we ordered it. You know what else Happy Sushi won’t be receiving? Any further business from me!

Love this place! Great to find such a good sushi locale so close to home. t

I was absolutely surprised by this place. I was aimlessly wandering the danforth on a day off and happened to see their lunch special sign. Woodbine and Dan isn’t a place that usually crosses my mind for sushi. Bored and hungry, I went in anyway. The place looks like a hole-​in-​the-​wall pub back home but I did notice even though it was ugly it was very clean. I couldn’t clock a single stray grain of rice on the carpet. Stuff was about a dollar more than the budget sushi places downtown or in the annex which put me off for a second. I ordered a lunch special with california roll, spicy salmon roll, soup, and salad ($ 7.95) with a yam tempura roll on the side ($ 4.95) thinking the special would be too small. This was waaayyy too much food. The extra dollar apparently goes to mega-​sizing your portions.
The soup and salad are both bigger than other places. The salad has cukes, tomatoes, and carrot. The miso soup is the super salty kind I love but some others might find over salted. The rice in the rolls was well seasoned. The rolls, despite the 6 pieces in the special pictures, were 8 huge pieces. California was on the tasty side of average. The spicy salmon had the most salmon I have ever seen anywhere in a salmon roll. It was a whole lot of fish. They also stuffed in avocado, spicy mayo tempura bits (the crispiest I’ve ever had in a roll), tobiko, and lettuce (wtf?). It was kind of like a kitchen-​sink roll but it was great. The yam tempura roll was also on the tasty side of average. Tea was free and at the end of my meal I got half an orange and a fortune cookie (wtf?). The server was super nice and attentive while I was eating. She sucks at math and brought me a bill for $ 23 for the above (wtf?) but after I corrected her math she was very apologetic. This place is a solid 3.5 stars. Rounded up to four for being close to home. I’ll go back when I’m too lazy to hit the Annex.
