I’ve been wanting to check this place out for awhile now, and tonight I finally had the opportunity to stop in for some take out. The place was some what busy and the lady at the cash told me that it would it might take up to 30 min for take out. I said that I could probably wait about 20 min and she said she would go back and talk to the guys making the food. She returned shortly after and said they could do it in 20 min and I said great. I gave he my order and sat at a table by the window waiting. The one thing that really stood out was that there were two table that needed to be cleaned off there were grey bins on the table stacked with dirty plates. My food came in about 20 min and the tables were still the same way i found them when I walked in. i grabbed my take out and headed home. I had the Dynamite roll and the chicken teriyaki roll with some edamame beans, the rolls were delish and I can’t wait to go back and try some more.

Ok, so it’s not the most attractive sushi joint. But it still has a decent offering, especially for this stretch of Eglinton, which is lacking in sushi spots. They have descent speedy delivery. They also have a reasonable all-you-can eat option, which they offer also at lunchtime. The risk you run is that you may have to pull a George Costanza and sleep under your desk when you go back to work.

We have been here many times and love it. For other commenters… First you need to understand that Just Eat has nothing to do with the restaurant other than delivering the orders. To rate this restaurant based on bad delivery or tips etc is unfair. Complain to Just Eat. We use Just Eat to order from other, totally unrelated restaurants and have run into these issues so it’s in no way directly related to Sushi Ocean. Sure some nights are better than others but of all the AYCE places in this price bracket we have not been disappointed. The sushi is good, maki and other dishes are good too. We have sometimes asked for alterations to a dish, such as less sauce and they have always complied without complaint. It’s perfectly good AYCE. The staff have been friendly on all of our visits and while the language barrier can be taken for rudeness we’ve NEVER had staff stand over us and watch what we eat. They have always brought us food without attitude no matter how many times we order food. We love this place and even though we visit other restaurants like Raw in Liberty Village for sushi these guys have been great as a local alternative.

AYCE for $ 19. I guess that’s a good deal in Toronto, right? Wrong. This place is really crappy. Just your typical Chinese operated Japanese restaurant wanna-be. The food is really sub-par but edible. The rolls were not authentic at all and they add crunchy fried bread crumbs to all your rolls, hoping to fill you up fast. They cannot make simple rolls properly. I ordered a spider rolls and instead of soft shelled crab, they placed a piece of fried shrimp in the middle. um, no? Besides the sushi rolls, there was not much to the menu. Most of the food was either, sushi rolls, sashimi(we’ll talk about the later), or fried stuff from the kitchen. We ordered chicken wings and it was fried to the point where it was dried up and hard. We just sent it back. When we arrived we were told to sit wherever we wanted. So we picked the seat closest to the entrance because my mom’s nose was very sensitive to the greasy stench produced in this restaurant. They just tossed us the all you can eat ordering ticket and left us with a pen. We placed our order and it came out and we indulged. Half way into our meal, we realized we had no water, because the waiter never served it to us. Then when we never had our water refilled… Sigh. The best part about this place is the sashimi selection they offered. You can have as many pieces as you’d like. Most place, at least where I’m from — NY, will never offer this on their menu. So props to these guys. TLDR: This place serves cheap AYCE sushi. Come at your own discretion.

Had take-out from here the other night and it was amazing! All veggie order, lots of variety, and we had way more than enough to eat. Will definitely order from here again and might go there to eat-in as well. Yumyumyum! PS. The spicy avocado roll is the best!

I love ordering from this place. The bento boxes are great. When I eat sushi, I do my best to try at least every roll on the menu once. I’ve never been let down(Spider roll is my fav.) I have also never tried Sweet Potato Tempura before, but it’s really good. The staff are really nice too. They seem to know me, because I made a mistake on an order once and they actually called to ask if it was correct. That was pretty great.

Never had their food delivered but no review can tell you how great this place really is. Cheap! And food that is FRESH. Go around to other AYCE spots n its not nearly as fresh as this, its like every bite feels different. Ive had all the special rolls(i avoid mayo ones but ay, everyone ive gone with loved them), and their salmon sashimi is something i could eat for hours. Miso soup or salads are awesome, and the chinese food they offer is actually pretty great too.

This has been my go-to place for a year or more while visiting Toronto and now that I live there I probably eat from Sushi Ocean more than I should admit(more than three times most weeks). I keep going back because the place is clean, the service is fairly efficient, and the price is cheap. Oh, also the nice washroom, a rare treat in affordable Toronto sushi places. I find the quality of the AYCE is on par with the a la carte menu. Dinner has all the standard options, pretty diverse menu, and is something like $ 17 on a weekday. The lunch AYCE is a little smaller and has less fish but still has plenty of options. When it comes to delivery they are pretty quick. I live and breathe for the enoki mushroom maki. It’s enoki tempura and spicy mayo. How can you go wrong with that? I need it delivered twice a week or I can’t function. My delivery order has only been screwed up once out of dozens of orders and the next time I ordered they remembered and sent what they had forgotten the time before. Top notch customer service in my opinion. The service isn’t terribly personable, but it is efficient and polite enough, so no points deducted. If you’re looking for fine-dining sushi this obviously isn’t your place but if you want cheap and bountiful food that is tasty, hit this place up.

Ordered from this place a few times through just-eat. Food is not bad but their delivery sucks. Usually late and very often cold. Ordered food yesterday and this time the driver asked for a tip after arriving half an hour late and with cold food! I prefer Hokkaido sushi on Mount Pleasant.

Ultimately its too expensive for this restaurant to have a regular customer that eats too much AYCE. So what ends up happening is that they simply make the experience so unpleasant that you never come back. The waitress stands over you and watches you eat, antagonizing you if you overstay your welcome(I’m not kidding). Every AYCE sushi place gets unfriendly after a point, but this was actually insane. Every table in the restaurant ended up getting in an argument with the staff, because they pretty much said«get the fuck out your eating too much». There are an insane amount of AYCE sushi places in this area, do yourself a favor and pass on this awful awful restaurant.

Was hungry and decided to order sushi via just-eat and selected sushi ocean. What a bad decision, the fish tasted like day old sushi. And funny enough, the driver actually ASKED for a tip. Jeez. That’s what I get for sushi delivery.

I ordered delivery from Sushi Ocean on Just-Eat. The food got to my place relatively quickly, definitely much faster than most take-out places in Toronto. I got a Miso Soup, Edamame, a Spicy White Tuna Jalapeño Roll, a Spicy Salmon Roll, and a Rainbow Roll. I thought the food was hit-or-miss. The miso soup was very tasty. The edamame was alright. I felt it wasn’t salty enough, but at least the portion was huge. As for the sushi, I wasn’t a fan of the Spicy White Tuna Jalapeño roll as I found the taste of cilantro too overpowering and the uncooked jalapeño on top really clashed with texture of the tuna. I would have preferred for the jalapeño flavour to be integrated inside the roll. The Spicy Salmon roll was a bit too bland and the roll was kinda messy. I didn’t try the Rainbow Roll(allergic to cucumber), but my boyfriend said it was pretty good. The food at Sushi Ocean is rather unimpressive. If you want memorable sushi, go somewhere else.

I’m starting to get it: if it’s «AYCE», NEVER, EVER ask for the AYCE. I had just biked to this neighborhood and there’s the most evil hill on Bathurst St. I was desperate to have food. I found a little sushi place and asked for their a la carte menu. Awesome misoshiro, tasting fresh and with real tofu and green onion inside. I was so amazed with the misoshiro that my server offered me another bowl at no cost. I ordered an 8-piece sashimi, and had a nice conversation about what fish I should have instead of crab, that I don’t like. The sashimi pieces are BIG, again FRESH and very well cut! I was well served, had good food an the price was awesome. I left a good tip for them and left feeling so happy! They seem new and offer 10% off if you dine-in or take out.
