J-Town By The Sea

Busy place, lots of people on a Saturday. Good quality fish, we bought Salmon, Tuna and Toro sasumi. Crispy and fresh.

We went there order fresh make and told by staff will ready next 30mn, so we decide shopping come back take it , but when we bring it home the rice is cold and everything is not fresh, is like already sit in fridge all day long for display. Very disappointed , and it’s not waste $80 price !!!

reasonably priced sashimi rice bowl of great quality! the fried soft boiled eggs worth a try too. I will definitely visit this place again.

We went to J-town for the first time over the weekend and didn't expect that there were so many hidden gems in there. The J-Town By The Sea has so many different variety of freshly cut fish for sashimi or sushi. The prices are reasonable considering that's sashimi graded which means you are able to enjoy it right away. The environment is also very clean and all the fishes are well packed and preserved. The also have sushi bar that serves daily fresh sushi on the spot. Definitely will come back again.

Nice little shop focused on prepared Japanese foods and sushi items. One of the only places in the GTA you can buy real wasabi root/rhizome! Got that and a grater here. You can get all the sushi fixing here too, tobiko, pickles veggies and ginger, for your homemade sushi.

Great quality. My go-to spot for sushi, sashimi, chirashi, unagi don and onigiri in the area.

Japanese goods with lots of great options for great fish. If you want to make your own sushi this is the place to go. If you need anything else, the store across the street has it.

Love it here!! The people here are so nice and helpful. I bought a ton of sashimi here for a family dinner and the cuts were fab can't wait to come back again soon!

Their bowls are definitely on the pricier side but they have a great fresh selection of fish each time I go. Plaza is a little difficult to get into since the driving entrance is so narrow. Their hours are office hours during the weekdays so it's not as convenient if you wanted to grab something after work hours.

Can't seem to stay away from this place! I've been frequenting Jtown almost once a week for the past month or two because I can't get enough of their sushi/sashimi. Their fish is consistently fresh and I can't get enough of their "Special Sushi" four small pieces of nigiri sushi usually made with premium ingredients such as uni, roe, or toro that they only come out with on the weekends. For uni lovers, their East meets West Uni sushi $16.80 is a contrast of two different types of uni - Boston on one side and Vancouver on the other side of the nigiri. Another favorite is the the Sushi Supreme $13.80 with a mix of toro, ikura, uni and tobiko. But my absolute favorite so far is the uni-roe $13.80 because the combination of those two flavors is mind blowing. If eating in, I would recommend getting one of their 10 set meals which comes with a side of soup and veggies and is available throughout the week. You order at the counter and when the meal is ready, the girls will call out the number on written on the receipt and bring the bring the food out to you. I personally would recommend the Hokkaido don $12.80 with fresh salmon, uni, ikura and tamago on a bed of sesame rice. The Otaru Kaisen Don $14.80 is good too but is missing the game changing uni. Aesthetically, place is very humble and it looks more like a cafeteria. But the food is good, the place is clean and the people there are very nice and helpful... And that's what really matters. I left my phone there once and the girls kept it safe until I returned. On days that I don't have much time, I love that I can pop in here to pick up all the fresh ingredients I need to make my own Japanese meals at home. One of the things I miss most about Hokkaido Japan is their amazing kaisendon filled with ikura and uni. But at Jtown, I can get my own little taste of Japan by picking up one of their uni platters $30.80 and pair it off with some roe, some sushi rice and voila - the ultimate kaisendon.
