One of my favourite sushi joints in Toronto! What I like about ND Sushi: — High quality sushi(warm rice, fresh fish, need I say more?) — Rolls are not too expensive(other items on their menu are somewhat pricey… though probably standard) — Great location What I don’t like: — They don’t always have the spider roll, which is a shame because it’s delicious!

Amazingly fresh. Great service and very authentic. I will definitely go back here anytime I’m in the area. The chefs recommendation is where it’s at!

Had a sashimi craving so called and walked over for some takeout late night on a whim. 1) They don’t take credit card even though the Unilocal page says that they do & I had to go back to grab cash. Would have been nice if they gave me a heads up over the phone when I ordered. 2) My sashimi platter was actually quite disgusting. It wasn’t fresh at all and even tons of wasabi and soy sauce couldn’t save my meal — I ended up throwing half of it away because it was making me gag. I love a good piece of fish, but these pieces were so thick it was practically a cube! It wasn’t cheap either(~$ 30 after tax), so that was extremely disappointing.

I was once a superfan of this place; however, the owner and her version of customer service is horrendous and rude. My husband and I went in and there was a table that just got their bill. Guy server said it will just be a few minutes which was great and the owner came to us and said it will be about 10 minutes. I asked if it will be actually 10 since we did not have reservations and it was okay if it wasn’t, we were going to grab a drink first and then come back. The same lady(owner) was so snarky and frankly, bitchy and said that they just gave the bill to the table but now, it will be at least 20 minutes. Okay… and then she proceeds to sit at the said table and started chatting with the people there(clearly was her friend). I don’t care if she wanted to do so, but at least be honest and let us know. She gave us the staredown while she chats away and the poor guy server was just appalled by this whole situation. I loved this place but from now on, will go somewhere else. The service is terrible and we always tipped generously. Not worth it. Looking back now, sushi is mediocre.

Food: Chirasu: the bowl looked pretty small but I was really full at the end. Fresh and nice variety. Sushi Dinner: one of the best in town. Thick and fresh nigiri. Very satisfying. Service: Most of the servers were very friendly. Food also came pretty fast.

Best sushi in town. I love sushi. I can eat the stuff 7 days a week no problem. Growing up as a kid I visited Tokyo many times over the years. For me, it’s freshness that beats everything else. I don’t need some crazy combination roll if the fish itself is lousy. Unfortunately this is the plight of us Torontonians as we do not generally get fresh seafood. I’ve been impressed with ND Sushi & Grill since I was introduced to it when I moved to the city and have been going back non-stop since. I’ve tried dozens of other sushi joints in the city but have yet to find a place that has such fresh fish. The tuna and salmon sashimi is incredible. Tip — go at lunch because you cannot beat the price of the lunch combos.

As great as their sushi tastes, their service and the wait were not worth the experience. We have a medium size party of 7 people. We ordered quite a few dishes and the restaurant was pretty full. Understanding that they only have 1 chef, we were expecting the food to come out slowly. But the wait was 20 minutes between every other roll. The table next to us who came much later got their food much faster. It is 2 hours after we have arrived by this time. We then asked the waitress whether we could have our food served a bit faster because we were so hungry after the long wait. Then the owner came out to argue with us telling us we are a big table and we have to wait. We were left speechless. They did not understand where we were coming from and instead of offering a simple apology, they decided to argue with us. We understand that they want to turn tables but the wait was way too long. Probably the best sushi I have had so far but the worst experience also. If you have a small party of two, this probably won’t happen to you. And the strategy is to say you are ordering your food separately. That was her rationale behind the delay. Because we were sharing …

This is a small joint close to U of T. The quality of food and service was extraordinary! We had the spicy salmon rolls, spicy rainbow rolls and chirashi sushi(assorted sashimi). I was a bit hesitant about the spicy salmon rolls because they are made with salmon as well as avocado, but they ended up being the best I’ve ever had. The salmon was fresh and melted in my mouth! The spicy rainbow roll was flavourful. I usually don’t like sushi with a cooked component, but I did this time. The chirashi sushi was incredible. It was composed of fresh assorted sea food. Don’t know what half of it was but it sure tasted great. Good stuff ND! Will definitely return.

*A tiny shop located next to McRamyun. *Staffs are Japanese and really attentive. *The decoration was modern and chic. *There is also a patio at the front *Def make reservation as restaurant was slowly filling up after 5PM. Chirashi is usually my first choice when I go to a sushi restaurant, as I believe that is the best way to check the freshness and quality of an establishment :). Usually restaurants tend to give cheap fillers such as tamago or imitation crab in a chirashi, and if I have to pay $ 20 for that, it’s a rip off. However I was impressed upon receiving my chirashi don at ND Sushi as I saw some good cuts of fish :). For my bowl of Chirashi don, I received tuna; salmon; sweet shrimp; squid; salmon roe; eel; escolar. For $ 20, I wished they have given me more tuna or sweet shrimp instead of salmon(or eel). With that said, all the fishes were fresh, soft and you can taste each of their distinct flavor. The rice was surprisingly good as well with a perfect consistency, and had a nice balance of sweet and sour. For some reason, the salmon fish roe had a strong fishy smell to it, as if it wasn’t fresh anymore.

3.5÷5 ND Sushi and Grill is another sushi restaurant in the Baldwin Village strip, where U of T students seem to love hanging out due to its proximity to the campus. It’s a small restaurant without much decorations, but I found the food here to be reasonable for what it’s worth. I ordered the sushi lunch, which came with a salad and soup. The salad was good, but the soup came out blazing hot. I had to wait about 5 – 10 minutes to cool down for me to finally drink it. The sushi lunch had many unique fish, usually consisting of whatever fish special there are today. I had sockeye salmon and olive flounder in my set, which both tasted very nice. The regular salmon and tuna were also quite good. The rolls, unfortunately, while they tasted okay, were clumsily put. Service was mediocre, and it was made worse with the fact the air conditioning was not working that day. The employees shrugged us off when we asked them whether they have a fan in the restaurant. To be fair, we probably could’ve eaten outside, but if we were told ahead of time the A/C wasn’t working we would’ve requested an outdoors seat. I will likely return because the food was indeed good, and hope by that time the A/C would be fixed. Heh heh.

One of the greatest Japanese restaurant in the city! We try lots of Japanese restaurant then always come back here. Amazing quality, but not costly! Fish is fresh and lots of variety. Cooked dishes are tasty! We love house roll! 3kinds of fish, avocado, egg, fake crab meat and more! Chirashi-sushi is a bit expensive, but worth it. Services is good! Nice people and free tea! Hope they can increase portion of rice when we order a bowl of rice or lunch menu please.

By far the best omakase I’ve had in Toronto so far, although I’ve not had too many. The dishes are creative in both their presentation and flavour pairings. The ingredients are all especially fresh. Uni didn’t taste smelly, fish was top notch. Service was a little slow but nothing unacceptable. Portions are a slightly on the small side, so you maybe hungry after if you tend to eat a lot. But each dish raised the bar and kept you in anticipation for the next one.

If I vote for this place, that is only because I love the fish species themselves. The ingredients are prepared dry, so it feels sticky with the rice in my mouth. And the sushi rolls were the worst I’ve ever had. Well, since I’ve been to Japan I lot of times, I am a little picky about japanese cuisine. But the seaweed wrapping the sushi was too wet, usually when the cook prepare it fresh, it should be a little bit crispy instead of what I got. I read the reviews on the website before I went there. I have to say that I was disappointed.

Hands down one of the best sushi places in the city. Their fish is always super fresh and delicious. You really can’t go wrong with the sashimi or the sushi plates. I’m usually not the biggest fan of rolls, but the house roll was on point and really filling. The service was also great. The waitresses are all very attentive, and the manager was very accommodating to requests. Overall, a great experience. The prices are a touch higher than other sushi places, especially if you’re going on all out on the sashimi. Make sure the to reserve a table for Friday or Saturday night. The restaurant is tiny, so they’re generally full for dinner.

Great place and quite hidden along Baldwin street. Perhaps its the first few restaurants on that street, people can easily walk past it. ND Sushi is a small Japanese restaurant that’s pretty dim yet cosy. They have limited seating so reserve if you can. The service was quite good, waitress came by few times for water refill. The food came out very quick too, possibly because it was sashimi and raw dishes. I ordered chirashi sushi meal set that includes salad and miso soup. The salad sauce was nice, brought more appetite on me. As for the chirashi, I can’t name you the specific fish types but it was really delicious and fresh. There was salmon, tamago, salmon roe, eel, salmon belly, and others(sorry that’s all I know!). My bill came up to around $ 30. Overall this place surprised me in its quality. It was quiet pleasant restaurant in a quiet neighborhood.

Great service along with a great meal has left me impressed and pleased with ND. I had the Sushimi Bento Box and the Salmon Skin Roll. Both were delicious! I don’t have a taste for tuna which was a piece of the box, but that’s a personal dislike and wouldn’t effect anyone who enjoys it. The box came with tuna, salmon, fried fish, grilled chicken and of course miso soup, tea and a salad as the apps. The miso was of note, it was full flavoured and not watered down. Overall, I thought it was a great meal and I’ll be back. Thanks ND.

They are the most unique sushi place when it comes to vegetarian sushi. Their roles and appetizers were so playful, interesting and delicious using only veggies. The agedashi tofu was light yet crispy and perfectly served. All the ingredients were very fresh. The outdoor seating was cozy, quiet and intimate. The staff was attentive and kind. I really enjoyed my visit here! Only problem was they were cash only which forced us to hit an ATM. Not the worst problem though.

Came here on a rainy day, and was the only table for a long time. Ordered a few nigiri pieces and a dynamite and spicy salmon roll. Overall, a pretty mediocre sushi place. Again, the price of the sushi didn’t quite match the quality of it. Though the fish quality was really good, the sushi pieces as a whole were only ok. Considering that I was wowed by the sushi at Wow(no pun intended), and at a slightly lower price no less, I find it unlikely that I will return here especially since it’s not too far from Wow anyways. In addition, my bf ate the spicy salmon roll on his own, and he found that the spicy sauce wasn’t very good in his opinion. Something to keep in mind for the spicy salmon fans out there! However I will point out that service is very good; very attentive waitress. And one of my favourite aspects was the frosty cold water bottles that we poured our water from. I love drinking really cold water, and I can only imagine how refreshingly awesome that would be on a hot summer day. Also their dessert menu does sound interesting though I haven’t had any. Had items like green tea crème brûlée and a panna cotta with a japanese twist. Maybe I’ll return just to try the desserts?

AMAZINGOMAKASE! I have not tried the a la carte here, but the Omakase is really good. It’s $ 50 and that is hands down the best bang for your buck for any Omakase in Toronto. I’ve had more expensive ones that don’t compare. Their dishes are very simple letting the flavours of the fresh fish and subtle sauces speak for themselves. Amazingly fresh sushi and sashimi here. Highly recommended!
