Wind Sushi

I love Wind Sushi! I live and work downtown Toronto and have had a lot of great sushi and they are definitely comparable. I would recommend going during lunch time instead of dinner as it seems like a pretty steep price, lunch is more reasonable.
I visit this place almost every few weeks when I visit my family and everything I’ve tried (including the fish) on the menu was flavourful and always fresh tasting, not once have I ever gotten sick from their food! I’m reallly confused about the two 1-​star reviews, but to each their own.
My only complaint is that when they get a little bit busy they sometimes mix up orders (bring someone else your food, or you someone else’s). This has happened to us maybe 2 out of the dozen times we’ve been there and we always keep track of what we were ordering, I noticed that some of our rolls weren’t coming even after 20−30mins. Asked the waitress if it was on it’s way and when she checked she apologized and said they gave it to another table. They did their best to rectify it by sending the roll out to us asap and were very generous with the portion size.
Can’t wait to go there with my sister this weekend!

Love this place come here with my friends all the time, they are awesome because of there location an they have the sushi items that other all you can eat sushi places have but they also have more. The only downside is the how you order I prefer the checklist kind of ordering for all you can eat sushi, not the write down «F69”“x3» type of ordering

Decent for being a sushi place in keswick. Service needs some attention as staff were not so friendly.

We thought to order light sushi takeout for dinner. Some of the dinner party does not like to eat shrimp, crab, or any shellfish. So why eat sushi you ask? Well, one, I can my kind of sushi next time; two, they still want their sushi cravings to be satisfied; and three, I was not that hungry, so I didn’t mind not having my sushi galore moment.
What did we order then? Eel sushi and white tuna sushi; spicy and original tuna and salmon rolls; wontons and vegetable tempuras (broccoli, yam, eggplant, mushrooms, and onion).
The fish were fresh. The spicy rolls were tasty, of course, not as spicy as I would like, but it’s doable. The rice portion is okay for the roll. The rice portion for the sushi pieces were a bit more than I usually get from other restaurants. I like the fish portion to be 3 to 4 mm thick as supposed to 2 mm. I know this sounds silly since the difference is only 1 mm but when you see the difference, then you would be nitpicking it, too. The rice is just to balance the taste, lol, that’s why I don’t want it much. Yes, I know there is sashimi, of course, but I didn’t order this time.
Over all, I give this restaurant a four because I’ve been to worse restaurants but Wind is better than most sushi restaurants operating in smaller town/​city outside of the GTA. Fresh fish, check. Rice is plump and soft, check. Creativity in preparation of the rolls, half-​check. Way edible, check check. Would I go again if I’m in the area, yes and will be checked.

I was sceptical at first as I read reviews being not so good, but I must say when I went there the service was excellent and the food was very good for an all you can eat sushi restaurant. I definitely will go back atleast one more time to see if it is exactly as it was the first time!

It’s hard to get horrible sushi and if I could give a 2.5, I would. Too much emphasis on the mayo in the sauces and not enough on the fish. The seaweed salad was delicious and their simple one piece items we’re pretty solid. Service was poor at best considering the place was almost empty. Waitress had to wait for me to get her attention and didn’t warn me that I was finished through my first round. Wasabi had zero kick, was almost dry and offer you so little that I had to ask for extra twice!
Bottom line, if you really crave sushi this beats going to a grocery store, but not by much.

Wind Sushi is very good. I went recently for the… 5^th or 6^th time? Always been a fan. I’ve never left disappointed.
The basics:
— The lunch menu and dinner menu are almost identical. From about 68 items to choose from for lunch, it goes up to about 72 for dinner. And those 4 (or so) extra choices are nothing special. In short: It is NOT worth the large price increase for the extra items on the dinner menu. Going around Noon or 1pm is perfect. Even if you can’t due to work/​school, still worth it to go lunchtime on the weekend for a minimal $ 2 more.
— Seating for about 30 overall. It has never been too full, and the service is quick and friendly (they accommodate larger parties, but call ahead if so)
— Many different payment options, and no errors with our bill (although it’s hard to mess up «all you can eat» on a receipt) and they have no issue with paying together or separately.
Prices (adult)
$ 11.99 lunch, $ 18.99 dinner (+$ 2 for Fri, Sat, Sun, holiday)
(I don’t know child/​senior pricing, sorry… all I remember is that kids 0 – 3 are free)
Now to review some of the food:
— Their miso soup is good, although about the same as you can get most anywhere else. I find it never really changes from one place to another. Their «spicy miso soup» is too powerful for me… I could barely taste the flavour over the spice.
— I like their spring rolls. They are nice and flaky with a good taste and texture
— The general tso’s chicken is tasty, juicy, and the sauce on it has just the right blend of flavour and spice
— I really like the beef teriyaki — it has a really nice taste and pairs well with some of the other dishes. The portion is tiny, but you can simply order as many as you want
— All of their tempura is awesome. We’ve gotten shrimp, eggplant, pumpkin, broccoli, and sweet potato and enjoyed it all. Comes with plenty of tempura sauce
— The chicken pad thai is pretty good. It’s not mind blowing, but we like it
— I totally love the mango roll maki. It comes with some mango and avocado, and this delicious mango glaze on top, almost like a mix of a savoury dish with a dessert
— We tried the mango banana maki this most recent visit. It didn’t have that mango glaze on top, but it was really good! A nice mix of mango and banana flavour!
— The «dynamite roll» maki is quite interesting! It is shrimp tempura + avocado + cucumber + mayo + tobiko, and it’s a great mix! We will get it again, maybe getting the «spicy» version of it next time
— My friend ordered several of the «bean curd sushi» item. I tried one. It was great so I ended up getting many myself. As he described, the tofu itself is really sweet, like a sweet bread basically — I’m a fan of it
— In terms of their hand rolls, I actually really like their «sweet potato hand roll». It’s big and full of flavour
— For dessert, I make sure to always get a deep fried banana. It’s awesome. The chocolate drizzle is yummy…
I actually don’t eat fish myself (I know, it’s therefore odd for me to go to a sushi place) but I do eat crab/​shrimp, and I love that the menu has so many options that even a non-​fish eater like me is never limited by the selection.
For those who love fish: others with me have gotten various tuna, salmon, and mackerel items and they said most of it was very good, although the mackerel was too strong.
The main reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because I think their dinner prices are too inflated for the minimal menu difference. Honestly, if I could order just from the lunch menu at dinner time, I’d give this place a 5. There isn’t anything special on the dinner menu to justify the 60% price increase. Another reason is that some of the items aren’t anything special, but I think a ⁴⁄₅ is a very favourable rating!
Either way, we will keep returning for lunch. One of Keswick’s best restaurants and I hope it sticks around. Whenever I visit family up north, I enjoy going to Wind Sushi.

Terrible…
I’m always skeptical of fish away from big cities or water since I got food poisoning before from bad fish in the middle of nowhere — and good thing I was paranoid.
The tuna sashimi came out looking dried up and smelt like a combination of rotten fish with mouldy cheese and sour milk. HOW do they Even think this is acceptable?! That piece of raw fish must have been a month old! Good thing I smelt it before eating it.
On top of that, here’s a list of crap items we tried:
Chicken teriyaki — crap
Popcorn chicken — crap
Salmon roll — crap (who puts avocado in salmon roll??)
Chicken skewers — acceptable
Edaname — crap (not fully cooked)
Seriously, how do you screw up something as simple as edaname???
Never coming here again, and I recommend that if you’re reading this, stay far far away unless you want to gamble with a risk of diarrhoea.

I have been to Wind 2 times now and both times I was very disappointed. My first visit with my family was a huge let down. We ordered several items from the menu and then waited over 45 min to get anything. We order things that were simple like miso soup and sashimi. The whole meal went on like this. When we questioned the manager he told us that they had give our oder to different table. The second time the place was dead and I still waited over 10 min for soup and sashimi. both times the kept brining things we didn’t order, and not bringing what we did. The place is so small it should be easy to get right.
The décor is surprisingly nice considering the outside looks like a run down shack. I’m pretty sure it was a old run down Chinese restaurant before.
The food is hit and miss. So items are good and some like the garlic beef is awful.
The sushi is low quality… I don’t care if you have been to a fancy place in the city. The white tuna is butterfish and the salmon is B quality at beast. They have a very small selection of sashimi to chose from.

What a wonderful sushi restaurant. There’s not much selection in the area but this is by far one of the best sushi joints I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to a lot!

One of the best Japanese restaurants in their Georgina area
