5 Best Sushi in Toronto (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Thorne Savarin, Culinary Explorer · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

Sushi in Toronto ranges from all-you-can-eat grill halls to tasting-menu tapas rooms, and the reviews prove just how differently people eat it. The name below has logged over 12,000 Google reviews on its own, more than the other four combined, while a smaller Dundas West spot with under 700 reviews holds a 4.8 that rivals it. Volume and rating tell two different stories here, and both matter.

Short answer: Gyubee Japanese Grill (Dundas) leads by review volume with a 4.9 rating across 12,242 reviews, an all-you-can-eat grill with sushi on the side. The Kings Sushi Bar (4.9, 1,189 reviews) and The Katsu and Salmon (4.8, 628 reviews) round out the strongest performers. Expect to pay roughly CA$30 to CA$60 per person for dinner at most of these spots, based on reviewer-reported price ranges.

Watch: 5 Best Sushi in Toronto (2026)

How we score

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers actually left a review, ranked against the other sushi restaurants on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from thousands of reviews counts for more than a 4.9 from a couple hundred. Recency checks how recently people are still reviewing the restaurant. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does sushi cost in Toronto? (2026)

Reviewers on this page report per-person spending mostly in the CA$20 to CA$60 range for dinner, with tasting menus running higher, over CA$100 per person in some cases at Minami. All-you-can-eat formats tend to sit at a fixed per-person rate that covers unlimited ordering within a time limit.

Job	Typical price
Casual dinner (a la carte)	CA$20 - CA$40 per person
All-you-can-eat dinner	CA$40 - CA$60 per person
Tasting menu / special occasion	CA$70 - CA$100+ per person

What to ask before you book a sushi dinner

Is this an all-you-can-eat format or a la carte pricing?
Do you take reservations, or is it walk-in only?
What’s the time limit on all-you-can-eat, if applicable?
Are there vegetarian or cooked options for guests who don’t eat raw fish?
Is there a corkage or water charge not listed on the menu?
What’s the best dish to order for a first-time visit?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these sushi restaurants?

We pulled real Google Business Profile data for sushi restaurants in Toronto, including ratings, review counts, and review text, then ranked them on that public record.

How often is this list updated?

This page was last verified in July 2026. We revisit ratings and review counts periodically to keep the rankings current.

What’s the difference between all-you-can-eat and a la carte sushi?

All-you-can-eat charges a fixed per-person rate for unlimited ordering within a time limit, while a la carte means you pay per dish. Both formats appear among the restaurants on this page.

Do these restaurants take walk-ins?

This varies by restaurant and by day. Reservations are recommended for busier spots, especially on weekends, based on reviewer comments.

The bottom line

Gyubee Japanese Grill is the safest default pick, backed by the deepest review history on this page and consistent praise for both food and service. If you want a purist sushi experience instead of a grill buffet, The Kings Sushi Bar is the closest match with nearly the same rating.
