Sushi Time Japanese Restaurant

The dynamic roll gave me food poisoning! Server brought me a cup of water stained with lipstick!
Sushi CRIME. This place is a pathetic waste of space!!!

The sushi pizza and the CN Tower roll were good. Very generous portions for ice cream, unlike many sushi restaurants that charge you $ 3.25 for two little scoops. Décor was really nice as well. Service could have been better. The servers were quite inattentive and took a very long time to get my orders (the restaurant wasn’t even that busy at the time!). It took me a while to get my server’s attention when I was ready to order and it took them even longer to come over to my table when I wanted to get a look at the menu again for desserts.

The quality of the food here at Sushi Time wasn’t very good. The Bulgogi beef was quite tough to chew through and wasn’t authentic Korean Bulgogi beef — I guess hard to expect much since we were at a Japanese restaurant and not Korean one.
The Green Salad was decent with the light dressing but the greens in it weren’t completely the freshest.
The tempura was good! I liked the shrimp and vegetable temperas as they were all lightly battered and fried.

This place was okay. I got a bento. It was a good price. I think its worth it. Things could be more flavourful though. When I went it was basically empty.

Wouldn’t have willingly gone here if it weren’t for the collective vote of team lunch. It’s fast and can accommodate large groups — that’s all it really has going for it. We sat in the back where it was dark, but not enough to hide that the tables weren’t wiped down yet from the previous diners. Sushi was falling apart and certain cuts of fish seemed discoloured/​not fresh.
The price isn’t even that much lower than its superior competition on Queen, and it’s not cool to take your chances with questionable raw meat.

We were supposed to eat at another sushi place in the area but they told us we were too late for their ayce sushi and ended up here.
The food is good with a reasonable price. Our favourite is the platinum roll, it never disappoints and we get it all the time. Service could use some improvement but overall, we always find ourselves eating here when in the area

Rude customer service and the salmon gave my friend diarrhea, but the sweet potato maki roll was good.
PART 2: PERSPECTIVE OF MY FRIEND, so when I first walked in, I thought it would’ve been better than their competitor, but no it wasn’t. FIRSTLY, they used tea from a wooden bucket and I saw them pour the tea that customers didn’t finish back into the bucket (very non-​sanitary!) So when ordering the food, the menu had quite reasonable prices but compared to the service… OH MY the service was HORRIBALE! The man that came to take our order seemed like the superior or something, he gave many death stares and it made us feel really uncomfortable! He asked if we were ready and we were, so ordering was a hassle because we had many allergies but, he said we couldn’t change unless we paid, which we agreed! But, he didn’t end up changing, and it was quite rude because my friend was severely allergic to avocados! Going on to the food, we found curly hairs in the rolls! Is that normal??? NO! THE CHEF MOST likely had been scratching his pubic region and hair got on the rolls and we did not eat them! Them the spicy salmon was the worst since the salmon had a bad smell like when someone has a UTI! The fish was out of date!!! Didn’t eat + the soup tasted like bleach and salad was saltier than the server himself! Surrounded by a group of Asians talking in a foreign language and pointing at us made us feel SEVERELY uncomfortable! Never go to this restaurant! Had only a few pieces of the spicy salmon and a sip of soup and now been stuck at the toilet for 1 hr! This place is horrible and will never go again!

I used to come here all the time but I will never go again.
I’m at work and went to get takeout for dinner.
I ordered the makimono set B which comes with dynamite, spicy tuna, and cne which is salmon and avocodo.
I brought it back to work and was very much looking forward to the spicy tuna as it is my favourite roll. It was salmon…100%…I’m a girl who knows her sushi and I never order spicy salmon because I find it too fishy.
I was gonna say screw it but decided to go back. I told the man it’s not tuna it’s salmon and he looked at it in the light and said it’s tuna. I said no it’s not I tasted it, and it’s pink not red like tuna, I eat sushi all the time. So the sushi chef took it back and made me a new roll.
Well guess what?
I brought it back to work and it’s salmon again. I’m not going back because there’s no point but this is the definition of getting scammed. Everyone knows salmon is cheaper than tuna and they probably think I’m some stupid white girl who doesn’t know the difference.
I will NEVER go back. They are thieves.

Sushi time is the right balance between a decent sushi and a fair price. It’s been around for quite some time now, which in my opinion means only one thing: business is good like the food it serves.
The menu is nothing too fancy; it has whatever any other sushi place has but thank god it doesn’t have all you can eat so you get a bit more variety and with a higher quality.
The service is prompt and courteous but it could surely use a bit more «be warm and smile» type of attitude. However, that’s not a critic: I’m just thinking out loud as long as the service keeps the standard it always provided since I started to come here back in 2005.
Price wise the restaurant is reasonable. You can have several portions and a beer for a mere $ 20/​$ 25 dollars.
If you happen to be on the Queen strip between University and Spadina where it’s getting harder and harder to find a decent food joint (Stelvio is an exception of superb Italian restaurant), stop by: I guarantee you that you won’t be disappointed.

If you need a meal to sustain you for a long period of time. Go for the Curry Beef or Chicken Don. It’s served with miso soup and a salad. It’s affordable and the portion of food served for eat in our take out is amazing! They don’t skim! I appreciate that the most next to the fact that the food is consistent and mouthwatering!

Just your typical sushi place. Nothing too special here. The teriyaki sauce is nice. The lunch menu is a little lacking. Prices are average for downtown sushi.
Nothing bad really, just nothing great either.

Nope. Just, no.
My miso soup bowl was dirty, there wasn’t a clean spot to hold the bowl.
The broccoli tempura went bad and they still served it — the broccoli was a mud-​ish brown.
California roll was okay, the Dynamite roll was uneven — some pieces just had shrimp tempura.
Service is hella slow. They will blatantly ignore you when you wave them down and keep on walking.

I am so not happy because the food was undercooked, the salad and vegetables tasted like water without the in H2O. I asked for a fork and the guy as playing with it in his hands before he got to my table. The reason why I gave 2 stars is because the ice water and water was good!!! Nothing taste good

I used to always go here. It’s one of my favourite dine in menu sushi place. Service is always good. Food is yummy. Sushi pizza is a must try.

It’s such a shame because if it weren’t for a couple of things, this place would be getting a five star.
First off, the waitresses. They’re kind of bad at their job. I’ve been served by the same waitress twice and she was rude both times, clearly was not having a good day and both times just disappeared and never came back.
Also, sometimes this place has a weird funky smell. I can’t really place my finger on it, but it’s weird.
The plus side, the interior is pretty nice and the lunches are ridiculously cheap and pretty good.
I’ll come back, but only for the lunches since they’re so cheap. Other than that don’t come here expecting great customer service. Come for the cheap sushi deals during lunch. And DEFINITELY don’t bring a date here.

First time coming here. Came here for lunch.
Environment: great ambiance. Cosy. Not too busy.
Service: overall good and moderately fast. I didnt have to wait very long.
Food: ordered the «basketball» bento box. It was great… much better than other similar chicken terriyaki bento boxes I have had at the other restaurant. Presentation was good with a good mix of different tempura. My partner ordered the vegitarian bento box and she was also enjoyed her meal. She liked the tofu which was smothered in terriyaki sauce. The vegetables were cooked well but could have had more flavour. See pictures.
Overall impression: I would come back here when im in queen west again.

I’ve been going here since high school and I must say this place has gotten better and better over the years. I don’t quite understand why the reviews are so low, as this place offers very well priced sushi and is quite good for the value. I used to always order the Basketball or Hockey bento box and they never disappoint. I ask anyone on Unilocal to try and find a better price for a bento box with a side of sushi in Toronto!
The servers are always friendly and after the revamp of the restaurant the place looks a lot better than it did before. The owner seems to be a great guy and he is often seen working as a server or helping out behind the sushi bar as well. He always thanks the customers and sometimes comes by to ask how the food and service is.
Overall I will continue coming back here as long as they keep up the great service and sushi prices!

I was here for a business meeting last week during TIFF, and I found it to be a solid experience and a refreshing change from my usual go-​to sushi place in Toronto (Oniwa, across from Roy Thomson Hall).
I had the Ski Bento Box (chicken), which took some time to actually arrive at our table, but was well-​made and tasty. I wouldn’t call it amazing, but it certainly got the job done, and the portion size was about in line with what I expected.
The ambience was quite nice, and it was fairly subdued for a Thursday evening (and with every table filled, no less). The service was somewhat slow, and I had to go up and ask for our bills to be delivered because the waitress looked distracted.
Other than, I was quite pleasantly surprised by the experience, and I will certainly visit again in the future.

The food is plentiful, but the service is excruciatingly slow. During the office lunch hour, restaurants around the area are consistently fast — they have to be, given their principally corporate clientele. Sushi Time, however, gets their Bento boxes out slow, and while they’re a fairly good value; most people in the area don’t have the luxury of waiting thirty minutes for food to emerge from the kitchen.
Food quality was par for the course — but Ho Su Bistro is right down the street, and while it isn’t spectacular either, it’s at least fast.

First off, service deserves a 1-​star. Just outright awful. Our waitress had no patience when taking our orders.
W: «Are you ready yet?» (stone-​faced)
Me: «Can we get the Wednesday lunch special?»
W: «Not available»
Me: «Oh. then. *flips through menu again*»
W: «Ok, you’re not ready then» and walks off
Her attitude was so horrible I don’t think she’s on the right career path. Unfortunately Sushi Time does not have quality food to make up for the bad service.
We went home and had a stomachache. I don’t think the tuna was fresh. The sauce on our salad starter was sour, and did not look or taste fresh (the lettuce was soggy instead of crispy).
I wouldn’t return for the above reasons. You’ve been warned!
