This place is my fourth fave sushi place in Toronto. We discovered it during pandemic and been going there since 2020. Clean place and sushi is fresh. Taste: fantastic Price: not cheap for the portions Quality: amazing Customer service: good Atmosphere: nice What can they improve? Maybe increase their portions or number of pieces in their rolls. For example fire roll is on signature page but only comes 5pcs. Or Russian rolls that’s on the same page isn’t as big. Usually we expect signature rolls to be bigger but can’t say the same for this place. We usually get Miso soup, crunchy noodle, avocado salad, spicy salmon, spicy scallop, spicy lobster, Russian, yam, spicy California and deep fried tofu. The design of the sushi are adorable.
This is a review for delivery: When you head to Rollian Sushi, stick with menu items that are in their name - maki rolls - as the chicken karaage $10 was probably the worst rendition I’ve ever tasted: there was absolutely no seasoning the chicken not marinated and the batter tasteless; and it was so soft that it tasted more like a chicken beignet that karaage. It wasn’t until a second reheating in the toaster oven that enough of the oil escaped to create the crispiness you’d expect from the dish. Their aburi maguro $7 for two pieces were literally pieces of tuna blowtorched for a few seconds - there’s no kewpie mayonnaise or much of a garnish. To be fair, my husband noted he preferred the tuna plain, but the dry papery texture of the fish was a turnoff for me. To make matters worse, we had also ordered the aburi salmon, but what arrived were three plain salmon sushi. While I appreciate Rollian trying to make up for it by giving us an extra piece, it’s not the same. Moreover, since their aburi sushi is simply blowtorching fish and then sprinkling on Old Bay seasoning and scallions, how difficult would it have been to just do the same with the salmon? The meal improved once we tucked into the maki. Their kalbi roll $12 is an interesting idea and incorporates a lovely combination of flavours – finally something that has seasoning! The chewy grilled short ribs aren’t necessarily the easiest thing to bite through without causing the rice, avocado, cucumber and masago to fall apart. These are best enjoyed in one massive stuff-in-your-face bite. Given the deep-fried shrimp in the dynamite roll $11.50 was slightly warm, it leads me to believe these are made fresh. It’s traditionally prepared, combined with California roll ingredients avocado, cucumber, imitation crab, and masago. This would have been even better without all the tempura bits mixed with the fish roe on top, which made it too mushy and took away from the shrimp’s flavours. In retrospect, we should have skipped the dynamite roll as the spicy trio $27 already includes a “spicy” dynamite roll that didn’t have a lick of heat. The spicy salmon and tuna also lacked chili flavour, and the filling was the pulverized fish with lots of tempura bits combination that I detest. Furthermore, the bowl of miso soup that comes with the spicy trio set was also missing.
Very good japanese restaurant. The gold dragon roll was excellent, and the spicy salmon salad was amazing! I really loved their sushi, it was delicious. The prices were very good, I highly recommend it!
Was coming here to get their Uni, but unfortunately they dont have it at the time. Instead, ordered a sashimi boat requested more salmon and fullfilled and a roll not sure what the name was but it has a torched salmon. Sooo soo good! With the price its very worth it! The interior is kind of like a modern instagrammable cafe and its somehow makes it fancy. Staff and chef is super nice too, we got a complimentary guac and chips which we ended up buying it to go even tho its not on their menu. Will come back for sure.
I have been a regular since they opened in their first location Bayview and Eg. The fish is very fresh and the plating is always very creative, making for a lovely presentation. Staff are gracious and chef Daniel is wonderful. Now, on a busy evening, you may have to wait a bit once you place your order as it is a small place and they do a lot of take out, but it is worth it!

first time ordering from here… went in for takeout and the place is really cute and decorated nicely. Ordered miso soup, spicy salmon, California roll and veg gyoza. When we got home and bit into the “veg” gyoza it was actually chicken??? I called to complain and the lady said she’d offer a vegetarian gyoza complimentary for the next time. good thing I wasn’t a proper vegetarian as that is a very bad mixup….
I visited this restaurant for lunch with my friend last week. Of all the sushi restaurants I've visited in Toronto, this place was the best. It was a beauty comparable to many sushi restaurants that I tasted in japan!! I recommend you to have sushi lunch. It looks fancy, and delicious. I will visit this sushi restaurant often. Thank you.
This is a great japanese restaurant. The place is nice and cozy, the food is delicious, good service, and the prices is very good, I highly recommend it.Food: 5/5
I am disgusted with hearing that my favourite sushi place does not have the respect they should for their employees and contractors assisting them in operating their business. As per the OHSA: Duties of owners — washroom access 29.1 1 Subject to subsection 2, the owner of a workplace shall ensure that access to a washroom is provided, on request, to a worker who is present at the workplace to deliver anything to the workplace, or to collect anything from the workplace for delivery elsewhere. 2021, c. 35, Sched. 5, s. 1. You are required BY LAW to allow delivery drivers access to your washrooms. Do that!
One of the best sushi places in Toronto. Everything was super fresh and tasty! Ordered the chicken karage, salmon sashimi, dynamite and Snow White rolls. The crunch soup was great too! And wonderful fast costumer service. Thank you!
