Rainbow Sushi

I just can’t believe this place.
Got food poisoning, call for my money back and they are avoiding my calls.
Ordered two bento boxes w/​Salmon Teriyaki
I got take out from here on Saturday (3 days ago) and me and my girlfriend got food poisoning. Upsetting, but nothing crazy. So I called the next day to try get my $ 50 back. I called during dinner time and a girl answers and says there’s no manager or boss in. I leave my name number and complaint with her thinking someone will get back to me by the end of the night.
Call the next day during lunch, same thing. Personally, I work at a restaurant and find it extremely hard to believe that a manager wasn’t in during a dinner rush let alone SINCE SUNDAY!
Called back every day and finally received a phone call from a manager. Apparently the north york one doesn’t have a manager for a month because he’s in china?
This man told me there’s no way it was from his food because all the food I received was cooked and kept asking me if I had a bleeping doctors note? WHAT?!? He laughed when I suggested it was the salmon teriyaki, saying they get their salmon everyday. He also said he doesn’t care if I call food inspection or the cops (why would I call the cops on them?), because we were the only ones to complain about the food on that particular night, his restaurant has nothing to hide. Like I said, it was $ 50 bucks, so he offered me a $ 30 gift card explaining the money would come out of his pocket and he already paid the delivery person. I refuse to eat there again and insisted I get my money back. He got upset and told me he wasn’t going to give me anything and hung up.
Like do they just not care? I can’t believe this place, how could they not rectify this situation?
Boycotting this place. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!

I went to this sushi location with my cousin on a Saturday at lunch. The AYCE price is pretty standard but the quality is pretty bad. The shrimp tempura was pretty stale and the rolls were quite dry.
The service was horrible. The waitress assigned to our table was rather rude to us. We weren’t at all demanding and always said thanks to the staff; she kept on glaring at our table. This made the experience really unpleasant. Furthermore when I went pay, I punched in my credit pin number wrong once, and she kept telling me that the card did not work and shook her head when I switched to my debit card. How rude can a waitress be?! I regretted tipping her 10%!
Although this place is the closest sushi restaurant in our neighbourhood, we will not come back.

We ordered from here for a business Lunch/​Dinner. The quality of the lunch was barely passable and you can definitely tell there a lot of corners were cut. To name one particular fault, we ordered the tempura don meal. It came as a box with 4 tiny pieces of tempura and two pitiful sized shrimp. The whole thing would barely amount to a side order. The rice was also small. For the price-​tag I would advise to go to the supermarket and pick-​up a 4 boxes of McCain’s Deep and Delicious Cake (which is actually delicious by the way) and then going to the humane society and picking up a new pet. This way you and your new friend can enjoy many slices of yummy goodness together. On a side note if you chose to adopt a dog, it’s a better idea not to feed it chocolate. In any case, you would feel better setting your money on fire than letting this place rip you off.
All in all, with the options we have in Toronto, it’s a better choice to hit up somewhere else for your food. If you happen to find yourself stuck outside their front door with no legs and/​or the ability to call a friend to help you get to another sushi place and you absolutely have to have something to eat then maybe, I MEAN «MAYBE», go inside and get something to eat. Just don’t order the tempura. For this reason, I would gladly give them 2 stars on the premise that no one suffered from food poisoning. The delivery driver was friendly, he smiled, said «thank you», and didn’t steal anything.

For the price of AYCE, this place is awesome. The sushi was delicious, staff was nice. It’s MUCH cheaper than any other AYCE sushi restaurant.
The restaurant was a little hot, started to sweat a little bit.
The dessert was fantastic, deep fried puffs are my new favourite.

REALLY bad and I wanted to like it, as it is directly on our street would have been epically convienent wasn’t expecting much either just a solid Korean sushi bar with the usual menu. Well this is no sushi on bloor or sushi one at yonge and sheppard. It is first and foremost absolutely filthy which there is no excuse for. It smells terrible like cat pee and there is just dirt and mess everywhere. I know I have probably eaten at some places with kitchens like that, but this place lets it spill into the restaurant and sushi bar, its horrible I felt so uncomfortable. The food was really bad too, such a small menu compared to most sushi bars yet it seemed like nothing we ordered was ever ordered they were running around out of things and everything tasted like it was borderline off and or defrosted. feel bad they really try but I think this place is too small with too little turnover and trying to do too many takeout orders to be good.

The weather outside is ALL KINDS OF frightful and I cannot garner sufficient willpower to go grocery shopping in these wintry conditions.
Yes, I’m complaining.
Sushi-​me!
I decided to try a new sushi spot today. I ordered from Rainbow at 21:05 through JustEat with an expected delivery of 21:45pm.
I ordered
–Shrimp skewers (appetizers)
–Hotate Butter Yaki (Scallops in Garlic Butter) — also an appetizer
–Green Dragon roll (with extra soy sauce and spicy mayo
The delivery was on time, arriving at ten minutes shy of ETA.
Prices were ok, not super reasonable but not crazy. In total I spent $ 28.
The delivery guy was also kind of rude; he asked me for an extra tip (on top of pre-​paid tip and delivery fee). I thought that was so ungracious and it put me off instantly.
Now for the pudding-​proof, the matter of taste…
The skewers were… meh. Bit overcooked. A total pass for me. Esp. portion wise. ⁵⁄₁₀.
The Yaki was yummy. I think I could have eaten 10 of these. Think buttery, textured scallops. ⁹⁄₁₀
The roll was totally underwhelming. I feel like zero effort was put into it. ⁶⁄₁₀
I was happy for this find because my last sushi delivery experience goes back months and it was not a pleasant experience. This one came better recommend by just-​eat ratings and Unilocal ratings but it is NOT THAT MUCH BETTER. La lutta continua.
I RECOMMEND: Trying the scallops. They are bite-​size pieces of heaven.
EXTRA TIP: The minimum delivery order is only $ 15 (as opposed to $ 30 at many of my favourite eateries), but a $ 2 delivery charge applies to all deliveries

I’m sad that they moved further up north. I was a frequent customer when they operated out of their old location in Bathurst & Lawrence. Average restaurant experience. Sushi is okay. Location was convenient for me. Delivery service is excellent! Literally ordered my food at 6:30, food came in 20 minutes.

Tried this place out for takeout. Ordered 3 specialty rolls: black dragon (unagi), white dragon (snapper), and spider roll.
The rolls were mediocre at best in my opinion. The roll portion was average, the fillings were underwhelming, and the rice were a bit too mushy for my taste. I tried it using Tasteaway so at least there were some discount on it so I didn’t feel too bad.
The restaurant was decently busy though, so perhaps people were there because apparently their prices are cheap.

When it comes to All You Can Eat, this is one of the more value-​priced options in the area. Quality of the food is always fresh and tasty — certainly not the best sushi you’ll find in the city, but for the price I would implore you to find better value for the money!
Lunch and dinner are all great value, and the rolls and sashimi are always very fresh and delicious.
I agree with other reviews about the temperature in the place — it is very cold! But the attentive service ensures that your mug of complimentary green tea is always full and hot.

The sushi taste amazing and the price is unbeatable. what more can I say.
One if the best sushi place you can find in this area.

OK but nothing amazing.
Main annoyances is the way they nickel and dime you as you can see when you read their menu.
They arbitrarily add 10% to your bill if you get dinner all you can eat (this is a recent addition). May apply to lunch as well, I don’t know. But as a fellow annoyed customer pointed out, this 10% will also apply to things like drinks that your ordered, which is *definitely* unfair.
The base price for the dinner all you can eat is OK but after adding 10% it’s right at par with other restaurants. The food quality is fairly good but nothing mind blowing.
My biggest annoyance: They do not have sashimi or unagi on their dinner menu. You have to pay an extra amount to get some BS VIP menu or something if you want sashimi.
They don’t have seaweed salad, which was sad. Another weak point is the seaweed they put in their handroll is super tough, making the thing hard to eat.
I want to come try their lunch special and see if it’s worth the price but I definitely was less than satisfied paying $ 45 for this meal based on how they tack on the extra 10% cost.
Better worth your money to transit downtown and go to one of the famous places.
Waiters were friendly attentive, but I need either way better food quality, or decreased prices if I’m going to return.

I’ve ordered take out twice from here. They got my order correct on both occasions, which is a lot to say for Toronto. I find there yam tempura maki rolls AMAZING and huge.
We ordered:
Veggie tempura
One miso soup
Kappa maki roll
Yam tempura roll x 2
Unakyu maki
Spicy salmon
Green dragon roll
Dynamic handroll
$ 53.62
Came in twenty minutes !! Take that magic oven: P
We order through
Anyways, great sushi.

This place deserves better. The price is very cheap for AYCE, and the waiters are fine.
Try their Salmon Kama (salmon neck has the best meat) and don’t get so many damn rolls which will stuff you with rice

I have ordered both takeout and had the sit-​down all you can eat, I’ll address both seperately.
Take-​out was great, I ordered a few pieces of sashimi and a rainbow roll. The presentation was nice and the sashimi cuts were nice and thick — VERY important. They didn’t forget a single item, I had plenty of soy sauce, ginger and wasabi included. Was pretty quick too, about 7 minutes from ordering to receiving my take out.
Tonight I went for AYCE. The menu gets a bit bigger at night, and at 17.95 (15.95 plus 2 $ extra for weekend) it’s priced below most AYCE restaurants I’ve been to for this time of day and the day of the week. I ordered miso soup, shrimp tempura, spicy salmon, rainbow roll, BC roll, salmon sushi and red bean ice cream. I was eating by myself. They were pretty diligent with refilling the ice water and tea. My gripe is that they’d bring out one sushi order at a time, so I had to eat all of one before I’d get another. I personally like to pick off each one. I suppose I could’ve asked them to bring out more than one at a time, but oh well.
The environment is laid back. Lots of small groups of friends and families with young kids. This would be a good place to bring the family for dinner. The music isn’t loud and is inoffensive.
Certainly not the BEST sushi place I’ve been to, but given that it is very close to where I live, it’ll do in a pinch. Plus, you get free AYCE on your birthday, how cool is that?

I’m so surprised no one’s reviewed this place yet! I’m happy to be the first.
My friend and I found this place on a whim after a day at Yorkdale. We had no idea where we could find good sushi in the area, so I Google-​mapped sushi and found this place. My friend said «anything with Rainbow in the name has to be solid».
Turns out she was right. It’s an all you can eat place, which I generally find to be either gross or too expensive but this place is neither. On weekdays other than Friday, you pay 13 or 14 bucks for pretty good sushi. It’s not presented as anything luxurious, but it tastes really good. Weekends it’s 15 I think, still reasonable.
The service is good, besides this one waitress who means well, but isn’t very good at her job. Can’t hate her, she’s adorable, just not meant to wait tables is all.
We come here regularly now, few times a month. I wouldn’t recommend this place for a first date or anything. It’s super casual. But if you’re in the area looking for sushi, I’d say this is where it’s at.
