Their sushi rolls were alright but their sashimi were terrible! Too thick and they didn’t taste that great/fresh either! I ordered shrimp tempura and I have to say, they were highly disappointing! For the price that I was paying, I wasn’t expecting the shrimps to be as big as my pinkies only!

Ordered chicken curry, and some rolls. The rolls were really yummy… but the chicken curry was bleh. The best thing was the very helpful, attentive waitress. but nahhhh, I won’t make that trek again.

Service was poor even though the store was near empty, food took far to long to be prepared, was some of the worst sushi I have had and they close from 2:30−5 every day without even posting their hours up on their window? My friend bought a groupon and against my better judgement I decide to tag along with him hoping I would have a better experience this time around, paid $ 5 for parking just to find out they were closed at 4pm? Update: Same story, friend brought a groupon and made me tag along, seated several people who came after us first and ignored our complaints because they«have to seat as many people as possible» and waited 1 ½ for our food and were then told to hurry up because they were closing.

Been here half a dozen times from last year to today thanks to Groupon and I’m surprised with the low ratings this place has gotten. Perhaps it’s because i come around 5 – 7 at dinner, but i always get seated immediately. I do agree it takes a while grab the waiter’s attention even though there’s two(about 10 min) but I’ve always found the sushi better tasting than other joints. Food arrives promptly. From what I’ve tried: The dons are always watery/soupy which i dislike but my boyfriend LOVES bento combos: average, the sushi is my only highlight Sushi(california, philli, green dragon) :absolutely amazing! Portions of rice to fish are good(not too generous with the rice) and the flavors balance out very well. Avocado is ALWAYS fresh here so any rolls with avocado as an ingredient tastes so rich and creamy. Yum! Definitely starting to transition to a regular here :) would recommend for sure

I don’t ever take the time to review restaurants but this place was exceptionally bad. The service was prompt and pleasant but the quality of the sushi and the bento boxes was just plain bad. Only came here because of the draw of the $ 40 Groupon but I wouldn’t come back.

Ordered the Seafood Tempura(came with 4 shrimp, 2 crab stick, 1 octopus, 1 mussel, 4 diff veggies), Special Spicy Salmon maki roll, Japanese beef fried rice, and a dynamite hand roll. Quality of the food is okay, pretty much like AYCE sushi. The«fried rice» was really just plain rice and stir-fried beef/veggies on top, but it was flavourful. Probably wouldn’t come back because quality of the food isn’t that great and their prices are pretty high(what we ordered was almost $ 50)

I came here for dinner with my boyfriend on a Groupon deal. The Groupon voucher was for dinner with a value of $ 40. We ordered Red Tuna sashimi; mackerel sashimi; seafood hot pot; and a rice dish. The location of this restaurant is very convenient to get to as it is close to the Yonge and Eglington subway station. The food quality of this restaurant was average. The ambiance of this restaurant was nice and cozy. I kind of liked the inside of the restaurant. It is not the most up to date décor inside, but I thought the seating was spacious. It was also nice and quiet too. I think this place would be a great place for nice quiet and causal meal with friends or even a date. Overall, my experience with this place was good.

Sushi Kai has become my go-to for takeout or sushi party platters. Chef Kai is friendly and has gone so far out of his way to fulfill big(300 piece) orders for our corporate events. The price is unbeatable for his party trays. The rolls are fresh and the fish is good quality. Staff is friendly. Haven’t actually eaten in but all our takeout has been pretty good. Keep in mind you get what you pay for. This is no 5 star restaurant, but for a local joint and a small operation we are more than happy to support Chef Kai. Love the spicy scallop rolls and the BBQ eel. Delicious.

Ups, I didn’t see my previous review here and came back… Bad idea(my lunch ended up in garbage). Not sure what happened! Did I order curry at the restaurant or some spicy sauce from food court? What a disappointment. I was hungry, got my Chicken Curry for lunch, tried two bites and threw the whole box in the garbage(and was hungry for the rest of the day.) The employees were friendly, and the Miso soup was okay… and maybe(?) some other dishes are ok, too, but nobody will convince me to order from here again. I ordered Chicken Curry to go(this lunch special came with miso soup). First, I thought that I got wrong order and I have some weird looking beef stew in dark brown sauce. The taste — very, very spicy… and simply bad. And the chicken pieces were even worst — just not a good quality meat, had to spit it out, so many crunchy stuff in it, yuck. I don’t remember when I wrote such a bad review before, but this dish deserves it.

I’m extremely disappointed with this place. I’ve been here twice and both times, they were closed! They don’t have their hours posted on their window either. I wasted my time commuting to find that the restaurant is closed.

The service leaves much to be desired. The waiter did not bring water to the table and did not ask if we want any. I had to go to the counter myself and ask for a glass of water. The food is good but not amazing. I ordered teriyaki salmon, and there was no teriyaki sauce in it.(Maybe they marinated the fish in it before frying but there was not even a trace of it in the dish they brought me.)

Literally the worst sushi I have ever had. We ordered delivery and we threw out most of it. The fish was not fresh and the rolls were poorly constructed. I would not recommend this restaurant as there are several better options in the area.

We’ve been here twice — both times with the Groupon. I think it’s a fantastic value with a Groupon, but not sure if I would come here on the regular — maybe for takeout. But food was good — sushi rolls could have been a BIT tighter — but it’s honestly your most basic sushi restaurant — they have all the popular rolls, nothing special or «mold-breaking» about their selections, but it’s good if you just want a sushi fix. The server we’ve had both times is a super nice guy — I think sometimes they may only have one server and a few helping hands working, which I can see how most people would get annoyed with slow service or unattentiveness — I think they are trying their best with what they have — it’s not like The Keg — you really can’t come in with high expectations. Not the best sushi place ever, but not the worst.

2.5 star + 0.5 star for the Special Spicy Salmon Roll I have realized Sushi Kai has been changing owners a few times. Compared to my first visit, the menu options has decreased alot — no sushi, no sashimi, only rolls. Food : 1. The Special Spicy Salmon Roll — salmon are thick sliced, fat of salmon is evenly spread, the balance of avocado, salmon and their spicy dressing is excellent. MUSTTRY! 2. Red Dragon roll — decent, just another option of rolls 3. Chicken Sukiyaki — it use to be my a favorite but it doesnt taste as good now, needs more flavouring 4. Chicken/Steak Bento Box — decent, but the chicken needs to be marinated more. Service: — the korean waiter is very welcoming and friendly but i dont seem him as often now — used to be quick service but it now takes FOREVER for them to make rolls and food — they offer a healthy option of less-salt soya sauce to decease you sodium intake If you are looking for a nice environment to dine this is not the place because the restaurant is small and pretty ugly looking, if you are looking for a fast meal this is not the place due to the slow service… I would come here just for the special spicy salmon roll though!

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The Good: reasonable pricing. This is especially true of the lunch menu. The soy sauce is so old it has actually started to ferment. I’ve decided to put that point under the Good category. The Bad: The quality is not so great. The tea is usually cold and the soup is actually watered down at times. The waiting staff look like their loved ones are being held hostage in the back and management is forcing them to work… as sloooooowly as possible. A smile is usually extra. The Ugly: Wow. It takes FOREVER to get your food. Seriously. Ordered at 11:55am. The food arrived 12:55! I had to convert my order to a take-out. This place is ok for the price but make sure you take an executive lunch. 60 minute wait for food.

I have passed this place several times and my friend did order takeout for us once from here so this is my second time eating their food. I had a Groupon(someone seriously call for help — I have an addiction). For 20 I got $ 40 of food. Seems like a good deal. So me and my friends decided to have a Friday night Sushi and Bitch session here(that’s a thing right?). We ordered multiple bento boxes, sashimi and some bbq eel. All were decent, filling but nothing to make your mouth have orgasms. The service was a bit all over the place but in fairness they are slammed with takeout/delivery orders.

I went there because of a Groupon I purchased. The service & ambience were mediocre. The sashimi was expensive and the specialty rolls were disappointing(eg Rainforest roll). Even with the Groupon I wouldn’t recommend going here.

Sushi Kai is a small business located just on the east side of Yonge and Eglinton. We entered the restaurant and it seemed pretty busy for a Monday evening. It was a mediocre atmosphere, and the washrooms weren’t very clean. Then again most washrooms downtown are pretty run down. What they lacked in the environment category, they definitely made up for in food and service. Sushi Kai did not offer all you can eat. From the a la carte menu we ordered a Salmon Teriyaki and Shrimp Bento Box, and an assorted Plate with California Rolls, Shrimp Tempura Rolls, and Spicy Salmon Rolls. The food was perfect in terms of the amount and softness of the rice, and more importantly the fish was quite fresh. I thoroughly enjoyed the shrimp that came with the salmon teriyaki. I was surprised as most places don’t offer shrimp with salmon for the bento boxes. I would come back again if I was in the mood for a la carte sushi over all you can eat.

Every time we order sushi for corporate lunch, this is our go to. We’ve tried others, but nothing compares to theirs. Their sushi is made in big sizes and so much filling. Some maki rolls are like 30% filling and 70% rice lol. When we don’t order from them for lunch, I sometimes do the maki lunch special. This is 18 prices of maki roll for $ 12. This place is pretty good.
