Issmi Japanese Restaurant - Toronto, Ontario

The meal’s highlight was the rice paper roll ($20), a great option for those watching their carb intake as salad greens fill in for sushi rice. Stuffed with crab salad, spicy tuna, and shrimp tempura it’s a surprisingly hearty and creates enough flavours that it didn’t taste too healthy. Pair the ... maki with an avocado salad ($9) and miso soup ($3) and you’ve got yourself a complete meal. I’m glad Issmi doesn’t skimp on the avocado, there’s plenty of it fanned across the simple green salad tossed with Issmi’s sesame and soy house dressing. And while the miso soup wasn’t overly exciting, it’s also not an expensive add on, arriving nice and hot. There are also several sushi dishes that don’t break the bank. The Matsu sushi ($25) contains a well stuffed dynamite roll that rival most in the neighbourhood and 10 pieces of nigiri. The nigiri was where Issmi falters a bit: the rice not seasoned enough and some of the fish felt a touch dry. Still, these are just slight nuances that could easily be overlooked. Read more

Ordered sashimi boat $59.99 and this is what came with it. The portion looks like $20 worth. I requested no octopus but asked for squid. They removed the octopus but did not add squid. No rice, soup or salad came with the order. Called the store to complain, the person ... said the manager will call back. Let's see what the manager says, I feel scammed Read more

The food is decent and the service is great, with nothing particularly negative to mention. While it may not have standout features, it is a good place to enjoy a meal.

Great place to have some Sushi. Good variety with decent hot food options. service is outstanding. Must try Mix tempura and Yaki Udon. One of the best Sushi in town.

Wish I came here earlier! Absolutely amazing food. We got the tuna tataki, salmon pressed sushi, spider roll, and volcano salmon roll. Everything was made to perfection and the flavours were outstanding. Good service and clean restaurant. Definitely check it out for some authentic Japanese food.
