sushi 4 u lake shore — Restaurant in Toronto

AVOID - UPDATE JULY 5 2023

Change of ownership? What happened? This place used to be amazing - one of the best in the city, now we will never go back.

Ordered our usual - 32 piece combo maki, sushi and sashimi - and it was INEDIBLE! Never in the 30 plus years of eating sushi and sashimi have we ever had to SPIT OUT FISH that was not edible.

Please disregard our previous review as it reflected the previous owners who were masters of their profession. As with a lot of things these days, that too is no more.

The current sushi chef has no idea how to properly cut fish. The pieces were slabs not slices. There was no love of craft present at all. We actually had to throw out our meal. What a waste of $50.

The prices have increased, the quality has evaporated, and the experience is nonexistent.

We are very sad to have lost another of our favourite places.

My wife is Japanese. We just moved from NY about a year and half ago and have been looking for a really good (while reasonable) Japanese restaurant. Our search is over.

Sushi4u at this location beats the socks off any of the competition. We sit here stunned how good everything we ordered was.

The owner is extremely knowledgeable with regards to the fish he serves as well as the quality and type of fish he offers (there are many different kinds of salmon, tuna, etc that sushi places can look to serve). This is someone that tried selling uni from hokkaido and fatty tuna a few years back, bringing the best stuff. I'm a bit sad a lot of those things are no longer on the menu simply because folks weren't ordering them but he still insists on quality for the things they do sell. It shows.

Our shock came from the quality vs the price point. No one is beating this place. We can't wait...

I ordered from Sushi 4 U, take out, for the first time and used their online ordering system which was very easy to use and had lots of options. I had a special request for my toddler’s meal; that they include mostly one type of vegetable as he won’t reject it lol - they were so kind and accommodated my request which I really appreciated. Entering the restaurant to pick up my order, I was greeted very warmly. It’s very pleasant and charming inside and I will definitely be back for indoor dining. My husband and I were very impressed by the quality and quantity of our order. Everything was delicious. Our toddler also loved his udon meal. We were very pleased with this experience and are so glad we have discovered this wonderful local restaurant. We will definitely be ordering from here again. Thank you for such a...
