Sushi by K — Restaurant in Toronto

Was walking in the Leaside area around 11:30am and was looking to get some food at a neighbouring restaurant. That restaurant was closed Monday’s and Tuesday’s and saw Sushi by K. Did a quick Yelp review read and decided to go in and try this restaurant for lunch. They had a bunch of chef sushi lunch combo specials as well as chef kitchen lunch combos. I ordered the Aburi sushi lunch combo special and my spouse ordered the teriyaki salmon lunch combo.

Let me roll it back to upon entering the restaurant, the posted hours of operation at the store showed it was opened, while google and Yelp was showing it closed, I suggested an edit and will see when it will be updated. Once we entered the restaurant we were greeted by our server who allowed us to choose any table we liked. We chose the table by the window. She asked us for our drinks order, and we decided to have the standard green tea offering which was gratis. We were neatly presented with the menus and went on to decide our above orders. We also added a order of gyoza and a order of the tempura shrimp on the side.

A short wait and we were both presented with our green salad and miso soup. The salad was very fresh with a generous amount of mixed greens and Japanese orange salad dressing. I really enjoyed the salad for the freshness with crisp greens.

The miso soup was presented in the usual black plastic miso soup containers with the lid. Upon opening, the miso was still perfectly suspended below the surface of the soup which was great! The soup tasted good and was what one would expect from a Japanese restaurant.

Now came my Aburi sushi plate which had a good variety of sushi’s and torched salmon on the one side. It was delicious!

The tempura shrimp was presented nicely, and tasted good. My spouse thought maybe there was a bit too much tempura batter but I was fine with it.

Gyoza was served hot nicely deep fried and had a nice beef filling inside. A choice of beef or vegetable filling is available for the gyoza’s.

My spouse ordered the salmon teriyaki lunch combo and she enjoyed the moistness of the salmon on a bed of cabbage with the teriyaki sauce.

Thank you very much for a very wonderful lunch, we will be returning! Highly recommend this restaurant for a affordable lunch with high quality ingredients that’s...

We came to Sushi by K on Friday evening for dinner. We got the Torched salmon, Green dragon and Mutsu Oshi rolls. The Torched Salmon was good and so was the Green dragon roll, but the Mustsu Oshi tasted like the eel sauce and had no flavour of butterfish at all. I'm not sure if they forgot to include it in the mix but the roll only tasted like rice and sauce. It wasn't too our liking at all. I forgot to take a picture of the Mustsu Oshi roll so I've attached one from their website. The food was good but nothing amazing, so for the price I felt like it wasn't worth it. After spending $35 per person for the meal, my partner wasn't full, so I don't feel like it's worth the price to be honest.

The staff are polite and friendly. However when it came to check out I had a negative experience. I went to the front to pay because my baby was tired and we needed to head out. I was asked to take a seat and the staff would come to see to the payment at my table. I waited and waited and no one came for 10 mins. I saw the staff member on the phone and she was taking a phone order. I don't understand why she didn't just perform my payment transaction while I was at the counter instead of making me wait and then take another order in the meantime. I was made to wait 20 mins in total while my baby was crying in the car. My partner had taken him outside to make sure the restaurant environment wasn't noisy for other customers.

Parking is a bit hard to find. We parked at the Canadian Tire across the street and...

My boyfriend and I decided to try this new restaurant for dinner tonight. They opened yesterday and it was a soft opening.

We ordered beef gyoza, fire bomb roll, and jackpot roll. Gyoza: The gyoza was deep fried rather than pan fried which was a little disappointing at first but the flavour made up for it. Fire bomb roll: The roll was very good, not overly spicy and surprisingly smooth. The flavours didn't overpower the fish. Jackpot roll: this was the star of the evening. The unagi (BBQ eel) was probably one of the best I've had in Toronto, the tempura fried scallops were perfectly cooked and not chewy at all, and the kimchi on top had such great flavour and complimented the others flavours so well.

The staff was friendly and very polite. They were very attentive and came by our table a few times asking how our food was or if we needed anything. The seating area is quaint and rustic. The lighting at the restaurant was just right...dark enough to feel romantic but bright enough to take pictures of the food. This place is not great for large groups but booths can probably comfortably seat 6 people (3 on each side).

I am giving it 4 stars because I feel like there's always room for improvement. My hope for this restaurant is that they create more unique items and flavour combinations in the future.

I would come back to this restaurant and recommend...
