Osaka Sushi Japanese Restaurant

The the sushi was amazing. I got the dragon roll which came with soup and an amazing salad. I loved this place will defiantly be going back.

I’ve lived down the street from this place for years. Super friendly staff and its a nice little intimate place that never gets too busy but still seems bright and lively. I lvoe catchign up with friend i none of their large booths. A tiny bit on the expensive side but nothing crazy but definitely worth it. I lived in Japan and in Northern California by the bay =and have eaten sushi since I was a kid in this city (If that means anything to anyone? haha) and have developed a taste for good vs. ok vs. bad sushi. But this place has the best sushi I’ve ever had in the city and its consistently good. the Rolls are huge so maybe the price isn’t as much as it may seem. Best Roll: Chef’s Roll a full meal on its own. Also you should try the Hawaiaan Volcano roll… why? just try it. You’ll thank me. Tried it? Your welcome. Don’t tell your friends about it util its brought to your table.

Everybody get your roll on, everybody get your spicy salmon roll on! Yes are you near the Junction and looking for a place to fill that Japanese void in your belly? Well this is the place! Osaka, is a cute little Sushi restaurant that has a nice little vibe, friendly staff and great food.
I come here for lunch often, and the daily lunch specials are a great deal! For $ 15 you can get your roll on, along with a nice variety of sides, salad and soup with your meal. The food comes out pretty fast and furious and it’s always super fresh. I’ve never had a bad piece of sashimi here, which is a bonus because you can’t say the same for a lot of Sushi places in the Six!
This place is great for privacy as well, the booths are clean, tidy and make you feel like you’re in an important business meeting. Staff definitely make you feel welcome, and they don’t charge for smiles, they’re free! Bonus: They have punch cards as well, so you’ll get a free meal for all your loyalty. These rolls ain’t loyal!

nice atmosphere, good service, good portion.
the salmon tasted great and the size of the sushi and sashimi are generous.
Will go again if I’m anywhere near.

I am very disappointed by this restaurant today. The chef has changed the rolls to oversized creations with way too much rice and very little fish. The spicy choices aren’t spicy at all. The edamame was prepared as if it came directly from a frozen package. I won’t be going back.

This place is great! Very cozy atmosphere and the staff is very nice. The food is delicious and you get a really cute ½ an orange for desert. I especially loved the «tuna lover’s roll» and the «chef’s roll» and my daughter loves the «agedashi tofu» appetizer. We tried their new «stuffed jalapeños» and they were pretty good too :) We came here just as they were closing up on a Friday night and they were more than happy to seat us and take our order even though no one else was there! The prices are very reasonable and I am happy to say that they serve wine! Some sushi places don’t which just boggles my mind!

Really high quality fish. Nice, large rolls. Nothing bad about it!

Get the spanish roll and the vegetable tempura. Some of the best sushi I’ve had. Brought a friend from the States recently and they couldn’t get enough of this roll. The salad it comes with has the best dressing.

I’m a regular here. I always enjoy their rolls! And I love that they’re not the tiny sushi rolls, they’re pretty big. Also, the staff is amazing! Always friendly and attentive to your needs. This is probably one of the best sushi restaurants I’ve been too. Must try: Spanish roll! So amazing!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for sushi. SUSHI!
OK, my creative juices are drained today, and that’s not my best intro, but I’m full on delicious Oasaka Sushi, and I want to tell you about it. I had California rolls, small green salad, salmon sashimi and spicy tuna rolls and it was delicious.
The way they do the spicy rolls is the chopped-​up-​and-​shmooshed inside the roll thing, which isn’t my favourite, but really it’s a small price to pay for tasty treats from the sea.
Little Lady Lazy likes: They deliver with Just-​Eat. Even at lunch time.

4 stars for the décor and the service.
The only issue we had was the rolls were HUGE. I couldn’t fit them in my mouth, and we all know how biting half of a sushi roll goes…

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this sushi restaurant. It is owned and operated by a Japanese family. The décor and atmosphere is authentic Japanese. The kitchen is open to customer view and meticulously clean. The sushi is fresh and the presentation of meals makes for an excellent dining experience.
You can also call in an order and pick up to take home which is nice after a long work day.

Should I hold sushi restaurants uptown to a different standard than downtown? I thought about this for a while but for consistency’s sake, I really shouldn’t. I came here for a family dinner because my boyfriend’s cousin recommended this place. I don’t want to sound like a sushi/​ramen snob but I did not enjoy the dinner. The slices of fish on top of the nigiri sushi were really thin, the tempura batter wasn’t fluffy or light, and the ramen was overcooked as well as lacking in flavour. The maki rolls were alright for their prices. There’s really nothing more I can say about a place that’s obviously not authentic without sounding overly critical. However, even for its own category (well priced Korean/​Japanese hybrid), I’ve had better.

At first glance it seems a little pricey, but good quality sashimi and huge portion sizes — the dinner bentos have a lot of food.
Not impressed with the tempura — dense and soggy.

Osaka Sushi… I grab lunch here about twice per month. The dining room is very zen and peaceful and the staff are extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.
Their fresh and delicious maki rolls are my usual go-​to, but I’ve also enjoyed their Teriyaki, Tempura and Katsu entrees. I’ve always had a good experience at Osaka with their food and service, but one thing that I must say, is that they are rather expensive. Being one of only two sushi places in the immediate area though, I guess they can get away with it. They serve large cans of Sapporo!

Definetely best rolls in the neighbourhood!
Salad sauce is delicios, too

I truly love Osaka. I was extremely please when I discovered it had reopened after a fire. It’s close to home and you get a complimentary, wickedly peeled and presented orange at the end of your meal to cleanse the palate.
I always get the same thing here… miso, wakame, tempura and the Hawaiian Volcano Roll (see my pic). Yup. It’s on fire! It’s warm, crispy and covered in that Japanese mayo stuff. And it’s on fire!
Hint: Don’t eat the Hawaiian Volcano Roll too quickly. Because… well you already know.

The modern Japanese style semi private booths at here aren’t something you come across often in Toronto. However, despite the more ornate (albeit somewhat sterile) furnishings and the very pleasant service from the friendly older couple, the food is just okay for their considerably higher price points. However, considering that this isn’t sushi row in the middle of the Annex, Osaka Sushi offers a good product with little competition, so can understandably charge more.
On my maiden visit, I conducted the good ol’ chirashi test and was satisfied with the large selection of thinly sliced fish, traditional (layered v.s. chunky) tamago, and avocado atop properly flavoured Japanese rice. The salad dressing on the appetizer greens was also notably flavourful and the miso soup light.
During the initial run through, I found the DVD special on India (in Japanese with English subtitles) interesting, but when I realized that it was on a loop, it began to lose it’s appeal.

Osaka has been around for a few years, but closed a while back due to a fire. They re-​opened recently, after extensive renovations, and I’m very glad they’re back.
I go over once every week or so. The food is always fresh, well prepared and gorgeous to look at. The sushi is amazing. The entrees are always brought to the table very quickly. There is an extensive menu, with many options for people who don’t like sushi. There are lots of noodle dishes, tempuras, BBQ’ed meats, vegetarian dishes, soups, dumplings. The list goes on. The bento box meals are one of my all-​time faves.
The service is quick, and friendly. It has a very relaxed atmosphere, clean and tidy, and the new décor provides booths with some privacy as they have large partitions between them.
This restaurant is one of those hidden gems that you need to experience. The price might be a bit higher, but the food quality is excellent every time. I’ve never had a bad meal here.

Reopened recently (I guess less a month or so) after a fire, as far as I know.
Nice traditional look, quite expensive, I’ve had better sushi. I like the service, though. I asked what fish they had for sashimi and my server knew exactly the fish they were serving that night. I didn’t like their red snapper, but the salmon and tuna were nice and the butterfish was delicious.
Miso and green salad were ok, and I like the complimentary orange. The price was a bit expensive for what I had.
