New Generation Sushi

Here sushi equates to much ice-​cold rice with very skimpy bits of fish on top. Had to ask waitress for wasabi and ginger and given inadequate amount.
Salad floating in dressing, bland miso soup.
Slow service.
A year or two ago one could get a decent lunch here.

I was there on MonJan 11 ’16 for dinner solo.
Solo diners seem to get seated by the door where it’s really cold! I kept my winter jacket on the whole meal.
My order was the Sashimi Ruby (3 pieces of salmon, red snapper, tuna, and butter fish) with a side of sushi rice, soup and salad for $ 12.95+ tax.
Everything was good except the tuna. Also they didn’t give enough pickled ginger or wasabi on the side so I had to ask for more. In addition, my sushi rice came about 5 – 10 mins after my sashimi came out, after they asked me if I wanted it, and after I asked a 2^nd server where it was. I wonder if they ran out? It was odd but once I got it — it was perfect.
They were attentive in regards to filling up the tea (although I had asked for water and never got that).
I enjoyed the free ice cream at the end. And I ate it even though my hands were frozen. I noticed quite a few people getting take out.
Tax & tip it all came to about $ 17 for 12 pieces of sashimi + sushi rice, and soup & salad.

This is my daughters favourite place, and given the competition all around, manages to stand out.
The spicy vegetarian Macki is particularly pleasant. Bento boxes are ample .
All the staff are friendly and efficient and the service is swift .
This is fairly reasonably priced — for example dinner for four was 80 bucks all included .
They don’t take reservations, but if you’re a regular they will hold the table for you.

Full disclosure — I’m not the sushi connoisseur that many who have posted before me may be, but I’ve had my fair share of mediocre sushi and I think this place provides anything but! On a busy night I was seated within 5 – 10 minutes and was served promptly (miraculous for AYCE — no missed orders either!) The server was very polite and never allowed any water glass at our table to go empty. I’m not a vegetarian but I still enjoy vegetarian sushi and there were veggie rolls aplenty. I had the spicy vegetarian roll, the spicy salmon hand roll, shrimp tempura, yam tempura roll, mango fusion roll, grilled chicken roll, vegetable fried noodle, and red bean and mango ice cream (I was hungry…). The grilled chicken was a bit plain, but otherwise nothing disappointed! ⁴⁄₅ because it was so busy that I almost felt a bit pressured to eat fast to free up the space (also a little pricey for AYCE — $ 20.95 a seat on a weekday night, which I think can be beat in the area) but overall an excellent experience. I can’t wait to return!

3.5 stars
The fact that this place always has a line up (of at least 3 tables) speaks about popularity by itself.
The place is small, cozy, and if you don’t know it, could be difficult to spot because the entrance is narrow.
One thing I don’t understand about the management is why they make reservations if they always lack spots. Waiting 15 min. for a table (while 3 or 4 empty ones have the reserved sign) when you are hungry is like a culinary harakiri. Don’t join the conga line if you are starving, you will give dirty looks to the people eating hoping to scare them away.
Once seated the service was really fast. I think that the quality of the seafood over passed the beef’s one. The salmon sashimi was really fresh, buttery, and colorful; I recommend it 100%.
I also liked the spider, spicy tuna, and dragon rolls.
The beef tataki was dry and chewy, so do the short ribs, as well as the beef slices on the pad thai. On the other hand, I tried a bit of the chicken teriyaki and it was juicy, tender, and crispy.
The unagi, ebi, and salmon teriyaki were perfect.
I liked that they kept asking us if we wanted more items, and whatever we asked in spare of the main order came right away, they didn’t «forget» like in other AYCE joints…

First time coming here. The staff were nice. The food was good. It’s really small in here, definitely not good for parties. They were generous with their sashimi slices thank god. I ordered California roll, salmon sashimi, tuna sashimi and bbq short ribs and I am 100% satisfied

12 am and me and my boyfriend were craving sushi. We were walking along Bloor and noticed this place closed at 2am on a Saturday! We both got the tempura maki and it was so good. Fresh and flavourful. Defiantly coming back here within the late hours to satisfy my sushi craving

you dont come here for top-​tier sushi. you come here because it’s past midnight on a weekday and you’re craving them dragon rolls. the ingredients aren’t the freshest but like i’ve never gotten sick. i prefer my eel very fresh so i dont generally order that here. all their meals are okay-​ish. portions are generous. rolls aren’t messy or anything. miso soup is basic. and comp ice cream after the meal — get the green tea obviously. and it doesnt kill the bank.
if you come here later, there will be a decent amount of tipsy and/​or drunk ppl here, but they arent messy so it’s fine.

I was craving yam tempura and dynamite rolls. And that’s exactly what I got.
Don’t come here expecting the best sushi and Japanese food of your life, you’re not going to get that at this price range. But if you’re looking for a satisfactory meal at a good price, then this is the place for you.

I thought New Generation is one of the «best» sushi places I’ve had since coming to Toronto. I ordered the beef bento box (cost approximately 22 dollars). When the bento box arrived, it came with chicken and beef… I guess I didn’t catch the chicken part in reading the description.
I like the california with salmon sashimi roll. I thought it was very tasty and the sashimi was quite fresh.
The disappointing part was that one of my friends found a fly in his donburi and told the waitress. They told him they weren’t able to re-​do the meal. Kind of disappointing since what anyone would expect them to re-​make the meal.
They gave us ice cream in the end of the meal. Something i don’t normally see in other sushi restaurants.
I would come back again to try other rolls.

Good place for sushi at reasonable price. Tried maki combo two here and no complaint for the freshness and the taste. The portion is slightly smaller than their neighbour SOB, but I can live with that. One thing I’d prefer this over SOB is the service. Both are efficient and quick, but I think New Generation is better at least during my visit. The manager is friendly and is helping all over the place. They also offer me complementary ice cream after the meal, which their neighbour neglected in doing. As far as raw fish goes, quality is pretty much the same as SOB, maybe there will be difference in hot meal. But since I’m only interested in raw fish when visiting Japanese restaurant, experience will mainly base upon that.
Overall experience is good, but don’t expect anything too extraordinary or authentic. After all it’s a Chinese run spot and ideal for those who crave for sushi but don’t want to break their bank for it.

This location often gets confused with the other «New Generation Sushi» on Bloor Street however, I usually do take out orders here. They have really good options for lunch specials and they’re very friendly. Their take-​out takes about 15 minutes depending on what you order and how much but overall, I really enjoy how fresh their sushi is. My favourite there is their Salmon Set!

Out of all the sushi restaurants I have been in the GTA, New Gen has the best quality sushi at a decent price.

This little hole in the wall restaurant can easily be overlooked. The restaurant is small, and it looks really dated. However, I learned very quickly not to judge a book by its cover.
I have been here several times. The bento box for lunch is $ 6. The dinner portion is $ 11. I am very satisfied with my meals there. A good sign of a good Japanese restaurant is their tempura shrimp. The batter is light, crunchy, and not greasy. The rolls are decent size, and the fish is fresh.
I love the Fusion roll. It is my favourite roll at this restaurant. When my friends say that they want sushi, I tell them to come here. This particular location is a la carte. The location across the street is AYCE. However, I have taken left overs several times, so I don’t do the AYCE, but I am sure that it is excellent.

This place is DOPE. The best AYCE sushi place in the city. It’s a little on the expensive side but totally worth it. Show up starving and stuff your stupid face.
Apparently there’s a regular menu too but who cares.
If you’re still reading this you should just go there.
Stop reading; go.

I come here all the time, I love this place. The food is good and the ume box is best for price, quantity and quality! The service is pretty good; friendly and nice.
Great place to eat!

It is a bit pricy than other all you can eat sushi places at lunch time but quality of sushi is good and also appetizers are tasty. This place offer unagi and maguro (never seen other places!) I enjoyed takoyaki and yakitori very much.
I would go back again when I feel like sushi next time :)

Decent, good quality sushi — I had the spicy tuna set which was tasty and fresh. Great lunchtime prices. I want to try a bento box next time. I’ve heard a lot of comparisons between this place and Sushi on Bloor and although SOB do great salmon teriyaki I can’t seem to ignore the persistent stench of bleach in the restaurant. Really gross. For this reason I think I will be coming to New Generation more often.
Ok, so I did try the beef bento — delicious, generous, steaming hot — but I really don’t get the deal with the ‘salad’ at this place. It’s basically lettuce with runny mayonnaise. That weird ‘salad’ is the lowlight of this whole experience. I recommend either changing it or going without it altogether. Just don’t do that and call it a salad.

I’ve eaten in and taken out a couple times each now, and it’s a relatively standard cheap sushi joint. You get what you pay for. Their lunches specials that go till 3 in the afternoon are around $ 6 – 7 and there is a fairly wide variety of options from sushi rolls to udon to bento boxes. Although the quality isn’t amazing, it is acceptable and the fish is generally fresh. The udon/​bento boxes are too salty and their tempura batter is actually decently done. Unlike some other sushi joints, their terriyaki chicken isn’t just drenched in the sauce, the meat does is flavoured and textured well.
Service is fairly good, the servers are attentive and refill your tea/​water without asking.
All in all, not a bad place to visit to fulfill a little sushi craving.

An old stand-​by, obvs. As far as «cheap» sushi goes (meaning about on par price-​wise with any other non-​fancy sushi joint downtown — about $ 35 all-​in for dinner for two), the quality at New Gen is better than many, plus it’s nice and clean. I have no complaints. Super polite, efficient, pleasant to be around at mealtime, music playing softly — basically, the opposite of the actual new generation. *shakes cane*
I’m sure previous reviews have covered everything you need to know, so I’ll give you something new: the doubt-​inspiring Cheese Unagi Roll (with eel, avocado, cucumber, tempura bits, and some sort of fluorescent yellow Kraft-​esque fromage, $ 7.95) is GREAT. Try it if you’re adventurous. If you’re not, a) let’s not hang out, and b) everything else is fresh and tasty too. Lucky you!

Nouveau spot à Sushi sur bathurst et Bloor. Beaucoup moins bondé que son voisin le Sushi on Bloor. La présentation des plats est nickel et le service rapide. A recommander!
/​/​New sushi joint on Bathurst and Bloor. Much less crowded than his neighbour Sushi on Bloor. Presentation of the dishes is neat and staff is quick.
Definitely a place to try!
