Amazing sushi! The little hole in the wall is accessible through a lane way with their blue sign barely visible from College St so drive slowly so you don't miss it! To access the pick up location you need to climb two steep steps- so it is definitely not wheelchair accessible. Once you enter the interior you are greeted by large, glass pane refrigerators holding huge fish. Behind the pick up counter numerous sushi chefs are hard at work preparing multiple orders. There is no seating and expect to plan your order at least one day in advance of you want to have your choice of pick up times. The fish is very high quality, expertly cut and the rice is good. What's most amazing is the prices! Good sushi is becoming more and more expensive in Toronto and this price point is affordable for more than once a year experience. Love this new place! It's a fast favourite and I will be returning to get the omakase again!
Quite happy with the Omakase set I ordered! I was able to order on the same day for pick up with a bit of selection in time. I was quite curious to try this sushi with the classic aging process and I’m a fan! This was really good for the price in my opinion, and I’ll definitely be returning to try other items. They also have a variety of pantry items for sushi mainly and a couple hot sauces. I was also quite pleased to see that you can buy whole or half fish from them that they’ve prepared and aged.
Honestly, this excellent fish market is pretty much the ideal stand up sushi bar. Please take your sushi and run before you notice just how passionate and happy the sushi chefs are - conversing & grooving to their happy beats! Once you zero in on them, you'll wish you could spend a whole afternoon with them just feeding you. I tried my best to ignore them so I wouldn't feel like I was missing out. Sadly, it's take out only right now. But still super delicious! Feels like a love project between chefs Jeff & Ed from Omai. If you've been to Omai before, you can count on the same excellent temaki handrolls. Their omakase set is really good and I'd be surprised if you found much better at their price point. Can't wait to try more!
Quick hole in the wall sushi spot! The fish was really fresh itself, we had the premium sushi set and regular and they were both delicious. The rice is different than the typical sushi style rice, so if you aren’t into brown rice style sushi you might not love it.
Sushi quality was pretty fresh. The selection was nice and totally satisfied my cravings. Bonus points for cute tiny soy sauce bottle that was equally efficient and aesthetically pleasing~
We order one premium omakase set to try it out. The flavor is good. But the sushi rice is very disappointing. it doesnt seem fresh at all. the texture is very hard and dry. almost half of the sushi rice splits into 2 pieces. Not worth the price.
Came here twice during my week in Toronto! Difficult to find aged sushi in the UK, especially at this price range. Both the nigiri and sashimi melts in your mouth, and I really appreciate the cutting of these delicate fish. My favourites were hotate the scallop and ika the squid. Temporarily satisfied my cravings for sushi back homeRecommended dishesOmakase Set
Such a cool takeout location. Got their premium sushi set and while it doesn’t come with a lot of varieties, the fish was high quality and tasted good. It also came with fatty tuna and I don’t usually see that included in reasonably priced sets often. The crispy nori on the hand roll was a nice touch. Definitely recommend!
Tried omakase at a Michelin spot in ginza/Tokyo so I expected that I would be paying more for the food and experience. Went to oroshi and saw that there omakase was 50 before tax. I figured it was quite a deal compared to what other restaurants in the Toronto area that did offer omakase were charging. Also found it weird, the iPad was asking for tips in bright lettering. I obliged and tipped on takeout at a restaurant that I'd never been to before. Wasn't impressed. Maybe for 25 bucks but definitely not worth 50 + tax and + tip. Friend that works as a chef that came with me gave it. 3.5/5 stars We both thought it was cool that you were provided with the ingredients to make your own roll and a cute bottle of soy sauce.
This is a take out only, sushi market. Within 2 weeks of their opening we have visited twice! We like the premium sushi set and sashimi platter. There are lots of options to add sushi pieces as well. Quality is excellent, portion size good, price is also fair. Only comment is that the California rolls tend to stick to the container slightly. However, that is due to the material of the container. Most of the packaging is recyclable, which is very important to me personally. No black plastics! Oroshi is available on Uber, but we chose to pick up. Ordering directly on the website is more convenient and cheaper than Uber. You can select the time for pick up and receive an email/text confirmation immediately. The order receipt is proper and good for expensing! This will be my go-to sushi place from now on.
