Hub Sushi Japanese Fusion Restaurant

It’s my first time being here with my boyfriend’s family. We ordered two orders of sashimi salad and 5 special rolls tonight. We ordered Caterpilla, Ocean Dream, Energy, Hot Love and Spider Roll.
The sauce for the sashimi salad was very light and it matches with the whole salad. The sashimi includes salmon, white tuna, red snapper, and red tuna! Definitely order this to share with people! =)
The rolls are averagely big and would feed around 6 people! It tastes amazing and yummy! Very fresh~
Overall, the environment is really nice and would recommend this place to my friends! Keep it up!

Came here for lunch with my GF.
Ordered a sashimi lunch specials for two, which was very fresh and tasty. Came with soups and salads
The place is small but cute, service was quick and very accommodating.
Reasonably priced and I would go back I’m sure. This was one in a very few sushi places that has fresh good tasting sushi
Above average

The sushi here is decently priced. Fish here is fresh and really good, but i much prefer their sashimi than sushi. Their special sushi rolls tend to have the same cheese/​mayo sauce all over and can overpower any delicate fish.
Also the rolls are tightly packed and never fell apart! They have a good ratio of rice to fish and other ingredients. The wasabi here isn’t fresh though, most likely powder. Definitely get the following dishes:
–Salmon/​Tuna pressed sushi
–Sashimi
–Rainbow star + energy special roll.
Don’t get the lobster king and island roll as the lobster pieces were tiny, and that cheese mayo sauce was too overpowering,

Sashimi was very fresh. Service was good but food took a bit too long to come out. Would definitely come back to try their special rolls.

Firstly, I want to say this: I have eaten at Hub Sushi at least a dozen times in the past year alone. I must have credit card receipts to prove it lying around here. I have noticed that in the past half year, the quality of their sushi has gone down. It USE to be my go-​to sushi joint but something has changed recently.
My most recent experience was tonight. Out of nowhere, I had a craving for sushi (thanks Instagram feed), and so I ordered their sashimi/​sushi combo (¹⁵⁄₂₀ pieces) which came out to about $ 45 after taxes.
Upon arriving home, I unpacked the take out bag and realized they didn’t provide soy sauce. Fortunately, I have soy sauce at home but come on, sushi take out without soy sauce is like fish and chips without the tartar sauce. Inexcusable.
Finally, the pieces of tuna they provided were not just fishy. It was borderline rotten. Have you ever left a piece of fish in your fridge say past two or three days it’s fresh date? You know that strong smell? Well yah. That’s what I had AND I was stupid enough to bite into it. Look, I totally get that I’m not paying for Jiro Ono quality sushi at $ 45 but I’ve had experiences of sushi at places like T&T (keep your snickering to yourself: p) and Mac Sushi (end of day sale anyone?) where even they managed to not serve me fish past its due date.
Sorry but that straw broke the camel’s back. I do NOT recommend going there ever again. It’s sad because I’ve actually recommended so many people to eat here in the past. No more. I’m usually pretty easy going about giving places a few chances (which I believe I have done with this restaurant) because I can appreciate that sometimes, we just don’t have our best day everyday but my past few experiences here have exposed a serious problem at this place.
TheRealPY gives this place two thumbs down for now.
Happy eatings everyone!

Terrible service ! Waited over 45 min and no food yet. Waiter told us that he made a mistake and will put in the order again. No apology was made. I have been to this restaurant a few times already and it is the first time this happen, maybe they have changed management. Totally unacceptable, Will not come back.

Came here for dinner at around 8pm on a Saturday for 6 people, we waited for about 20 minutes without a reservation. The have a sushi roll menu with photos and lists the ingredients in each which is helpful. I opted for the sushi (4pc) and roll combo for $ 16. The sushi itself was good and the fish felt fresh and didn’t break apart when you picked it up. The roll I got was ok, the seared scallop on top was good, but it was drenched in mayo, it was very overwhelming and all you taste, a mouthful of mayo.
My friend got just sushi with no roll and it came with a lovely presentation with a glittery tree like decoration, it definitely looked impressive. My other two friends were also not full from their sushi roll combo order and had to order an additional roll, so their portions are too large or don’t come too too hungry.
The service was nice, we never felt rushed and we were there for a while chatting. They also play cheesy 2000s pop music there which is a fun casual plus.

Here is how i would rate this place:
The atmosphere: 4.5
Service: 4
Food quality and presentation: 4.5
Price: 4
Overall: 4.5
We ordered a variety of dishes and sushi and everything was good. I specially liked the yams spicy rolls.
I would definitely go there again. We are lucky to have so many great sushi restaurants around us and Hub is one of them.
We had a Unilocal coupon for 20% discount on a special roll but they said we couldn’t use it even though we did order a special roll.

Amazing little cozy place:) very tasty food with amazing presentation and great service to go with it;) what more can you ask for;) ¹⁰⁄₁₀

Waited sooooooo long for our food! Don’t come hungry! We did come during peak hours, but being a relatively small restaurant with at least three sushi chefs, I really think they need to streamline these sushi making.
So we ordered the BBQ combo which consists of the sunset roll, Fantasia roll, island roll and lobster King roll. And a salmon sushi pizza and an udon. So I think from the time we ordered til we got any food it was about 45 mins. I was thinking maybe we will get the sushi pizza sooner, nope. Or maybe the udon since it’s not made by the sushi chefs because that must be what’s holding up the line, nope. Of course the rolls did come even later and by that time we were starving.
The sushi pizza was much smaller than what I had expected but the presentation was nice. I guess what we had failed to notice when we ordered this BBQ combo was that all the rolls in this combo were drenched in this special sauce plus mayo. Which was kind of sad because we never really got to taste the ingredients in the rolls and they basically all tasted the same. I really don’t remember what the menu said at this point perhaps I didn’t pay that much attention cause I was hungry. Don’t be fooled by the lobster King roll’s name because I really didn’t find anything «King» about it but it had a small piece of lobster in it, deep fried.
Overall I thought the sushi quality was good just don’t order the BBQ combo unless you have at least 10 ppl! Also if you come expect to wait long for your food and the place was really small and it was hard to get the attention of our waitresses at any point, to order to get tea etc. Other than that it was okay. I wasn’t too impressed.

Their lunch and dinner combos are both very well done and reasonably priced. Service is generally attentive. They got my order wrong once but were quick to fix it. Most importantly the food quality is great and the plating is always so nice. Almost too pretty to eat! Will definitely be returning!

Hub sushi is now under new ownership and the quality and service has really gone downhill.
When I called in for take out, the attitude was very dismissive and she kept telling me to «give her one second», probably like ten times. When I asked to order the sashimi and sushi combo that came with 2 special rolls, she said I did not have a choice on what rolls I want. In the past, I had always ordered Island and Hot Love rolls, and now they are forcing you to get Washington Roll and another roll I have no interest in.
The quality of their platters are significantly lower — I used to get more premium quality sashimi (ie. actual tuna, instead of white tuna) and the presentation now reflects the carelessness of this new management. Some sashimi were not thawed properly and cut roughly in chunks.
Life is too short to have bad sushi? I’d say bring back the previous owners who knew what they were doing.

Pretty good. The quality was good. Came here for lunch and ordered the sashimi combo. Presentation was beautiful. Reasonably priced for the quality. Just wish that there was more as I finished still a little hungry. Overall very good. Cozy little restaurant on Yonge uptown. Convenient location. Will come back.

We visited late on a Thursday and ended up being the last table there. The food was great, the service was great, and the atmosphere was great. It was just an all-​round home run to me.
We ordered…
— Special roll + 4 sushi combo (lobster roll being the special roll) [$ 16]
— Sunset roll ($ 12) — Scallop and stuff. Can’t remember what else was in it.
— Uni (one order of sashimi $ 6.99, two orders of sushi $ 13.98)
— 12-​piece sushi ($ 16)
— 15-​piece sashimi ($ 18)
If you check in on Facebook or something, you get 20% off one roll.
For three people, this was wayyyyyyyy too much food and we should’ve known, but we were also hungry when we ordered and wanted to try everything. Everything I had was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. Except for the uni, because I don’t like uni at all, but at least I could admit the presentation was very nice. The rolls were some of the best rolls I’ve ever had.
The service was exceptional. Super friendly and quick. At one point without us asking, they raised the brightness of the lights at our table because they saw us taking pictures of the food. It was funny and slightly embarrassing.
On a final and peculiar note, I love when restaurants have mouthwash in the washroom. When I saw it, I knew I was going to like this restaurant.

TL;DR — Great set dinner meals and fresh, high quality fish. Good assortment for sushi/​sashimi and large rolls. Highly recommended if you don’t have to wait and/​or make reservations (and are uptown).

Not the biggest sushi restaurant in the area, but definitely popular in its own right, Hub Sushi has been on my to-​go list for a while now. I stopped by on a Friday night at 7pm with reservations for a table of 3 and not only was it decently full, but I found parking right away! There is a parking lot (although not huge) dedicated just for the stores and condos in the area. The inside of the restaurant is quite modern, very cozy and seats a bit over 30 people I believe.
A lot of people have already mentioned, but there’s set courses on the place mat for dinner time and that’s exactly what my group and I ordered. I looked at the menu briefly and besides the set courses, I can’t say that the a la carte menu is terribly worth the price. They’re decently priced items (rolls, sushi and hot food) but the set courses are probably the best bang for your buck.
Our order:
As we were a group of 3, I asked if I could make the «Special Dinner for Two» to three people and the waitress/​chef happily obliged! So in case you were wondering, yes — you can do that!
Soup & Salad — Very standard. Salad was overdressed and that’s about it.
Tempura — Came with an assortment of vegetables and 1 shrimp + 2 veges each person. HOT tempura sauce is a plus!
Sashimi — There were 3 pieces of each sashimi for all of us but the sushi pieces only came with 2 each. Luckily we’re not HUGE eaters and we had problems finishing what was there already. Fish was fresh and longer, flatter pieces than your typical fat piece. Great assortment (with tuna, Hamachi, eel, etc.) and display.
Sushi — We got TWO rolls because we missed out on a piece of sushi for the third person. We got one classic roll and one special roll (the House roll #2 and Kamakaze roll respectively). Large rolls (hard to pick up) and lots of rice but still delicious.
Seafood Udon –Not a lot of seafood for a «seafood» udon but decent sized considering how full we were.
Mochi Ice Cream — Got both the green tea and mango and it was alright. Tastes like the ones you buy frozen at the grocery store.
In total, we spent $ 23 per person before tax and tip for the entire special dinner. It was a decent price for the amount of food we got (which was a lot) and we were stuffed at the end. I would definitely come back to try their other rolls but still stick to their dinner courses since I can probably get something around $ 16 – 20 myself and still be satisfied. All the other «stuff» outside the sushi and sashimi weren’t outstanding, but they were standard and just compliment the meal rather than being the star. If I had to wait, I probably wouldn’t bother but if you get a seat for early dinner or make resos, then why not? I wouldn’t make the trip purposely uptown to eat here, but out of all the neighbouring a la carte options, this is preferred.

Very nice plating… attentive service… food?! hmmm… sashimi wasn’t chilled and they were in room temperature. They have lunch sets ranging from $ 10 — $ 15 which include miso soup and salad. The best dish of the day was, the salad, it was fresh and it was chilled! But I won’t go back for the salad: (

We waited a while for our sushi (close to 40 mins after ordering!) but even still, I was happy with the experience at Hub Sushi. The waitresses were nice. Our order for some reason took a while… and they gave us some comp appetizers (fried dumplings & soup). We were so hungry and ate it all.
Absolutely loved the special rolls! However, after consuming them all I was wondering if they didn’t have mayo on them would I still like them? hmm something to ponder on for next time? Ordered the Black dragon, Island and Sunset. Wanted to order the Salmon sushi pizza but it was sold out for the evening! Bugger! Next time.
Would love to be back but not sure if I would order take out as my hubby noticed they put some of the takeout boxes in the men’s washroom… So much for ordering takeout in the future!
20% off one special roll if you check in w/​Yelp! Pretty busy restaurant so come early or come late for a seat.

With a heavy heart, the Hub Sushi I used to know and love is gone. To my discovery from my recent visit, ownership has changed, menu has been slightly updated, prices increased and service has gone downhill.
It took over 10 minutes to get water as our waitress never actually came to our table. We had to constantly flag her down.
Ordering food was also somewhat of a disaster… We ordered when we got our water and our waitress came back 10 minutes later to confirm what our order was… Wait? You didn’t put our order in when we initially ordered? Also, she never bothered to take away our menus the entire duration… Table space is pretty limited already lol.
Food wise, it’s still ok but not like it used to be. The sashimi/​sushi doesn’t seem the freshest. I had the Ocean Dream specialty roll which was similar to a California roll topped with salmon, cucumber and tobiko. The salmon was a little slimy and the flavour of the roll just wasn’t the same. Portions are also noticeably smaller across the board.
It was pretty disappointing coming back today. I might give this place another chance later on. Maybe it needs some time to ramp back up to the way it used to operate.

As far as sushi restaurants go, and fusion restaurants go, this place hits the mark on both fronts.
Food is well presented, and put together very well. Not only does it look great, but it tastes great too. On top of the quality of the food, they have a unique menu with some items I haven’t seen at other sushi restaurants, and it’s also a plus that they are delicious. Put all these things together for reasonable prices, and you have a winner.
The pressed sushi is a definite try. Never had sushi pressed into blocks like that before, but it was delicious. It made the sushi more cohesive, and makes it next to impossible for the fish to fall off the rice. I preferred the pressed salmon over the tuna because the salmon had a crispy textural element, while the tuna overall was mostly soft.
A lot of the rolls here look fancy, and also pack a lot of ingredients. I tried the Island Roll to start, and I have to say it was pretty delicious. It had tempura shrimp, yam, avocado, and bbq scallop. There was also the same delicious sauce on top that was on the pressed sushi. This roll comes hot though, so if you don’t like the idea of hot sushi move on. But I loved it.
I also tried some of the udon soup, and it was very clean and refreshing. The veggies/​cabbage in it had a nice bite to it, and still had some integrity.
I would totally return to this restaurant. To be honest, it reminded me of when I went to Vancouver and sushi here was ruined for me because I couldn’t get wild salmon anymore. Now that this place makes such tasty well put together rolls, it’s going to ruin all the other sushi restaurants for me.

Love love love this sushi place! This may be my new go to sushi place as there used to be a few others I used to go to near my hood, but this location is good enough. I really have to start exploring some new restaurants around here.
Overall, 4.5 stars. Only because of forgotten orders for my fellow vegetarian friend and the fact they added a fish cake in the veggie udon.
My friends and I pretty much hoarded on all the social media deals we can get. This includes
–Posting a photo on instagram and tagging it #hubsushi for a free ice cream mochi
–Checking in on Unilocal for 20% off a roll
If your combo you chose has a «special roll» keep in mind if you want the Lobster roll which is originally $ 14, you’d have to pay $ 2 more.
When I was reading the tips/​reviews on Unilocal,I thought we could get free tempura by checking in. However, this was a year ago my friends but the free ice cream mochi was good enough for me!
The cut of the sashimi and filling of the sushi was amazing. I’m always up for trying new food and loved their special rolls.
If you order to dinner set for 2, they’ll give you two separate udon bowls, but as for the tempura, just a dim sum holder to share your tempura. They’ll give you plates don’t worry.
