The Best Cheap Sushi in Toronto

The best cheap sushi in Toronto needn't necessarily be an all you can eat place. While there are admittedly many AYCE joints that provide good bang for your buck (think of how low the price per piece is if you just order ONE MORE California Roll set!), there are quite a number of reliable sushi restaurants that offer a la carte dining at prices that won't break your budget.

Here are the best cheap sushi restaurants in Toronto.

Sushi on Bloor

With an extremely self-explanatory name, Sushi on Bloor is a long-standing institution which is a hit with the UofT and Annex crowd, and at prices starting at around $7 for a dozen pieces of sushi, it's not hard to see why. The interesting Spicy Oyster Mushroom Roll is a delicious surprise, and though it's often rammed during mealtimes, the food (and prices) make it well worth it. More »

Sushi Inn

You'd think that a sushi place located smack-dab in the middle of Yorkville would be outrageously expensive, but Sushi Inn provides a pleasant proof of the contrary. Though the seating can be a bit cramped, you won't mind as you scarf down their various bento boxes and sushi sets, priced from as low as $12 for 18 pieces of maki. The friendly service is always a nice plus. More »

Ni Ji Sushi

Tucked in a rather nondescript corner of Scarborough, Ni Ji Sushi has been a local favourite for quite some time. Their spicy salmon maki is among the best in the business, and the overall bright and surprisingly spacious feel of the restaurant certainly makes you feel welcome. And don't miss out on the usual assortment of Korean favourites such as bulgogi and bibimbap. More »

Gal's Sushi

This spot is one of the most popular sushi restaurants in Markham where lineups can almost be guaranteed during mealtimes. Service is fast and friendly and the unique Gal's Special Roll (featuring shrimp, salmon, and avocado with soybean paper) is always a crowd pleaser. More »

Mazz Sushi

This Bloorcourt sushi restaurant is almost the definition of neighbourhood gem. I've personally found that the sashimi cuts here are among the freshest around, and there's really no beating their spicy tuna and salmon rolls, which are pleasantly not too rice-heavy. With various sushi sets priced at under $15, it's a solid place to get cheap, but good quality, sushi. More »

To-Ne Sushi

Cozy ambience and awesome presentation in a cheap sushi restaurant? To-Ne Sushi (pronounced as two distinct words, and not "tone" like random rap reference Tone Loc) has them all. This small restaurant at Queen and Spadina provides inexpensive sushi paired with a surprisingly spacious and pleasant vibe. Try the Sunshine Roll for a delectable little blast of seared salmon on your sushi. Lunch specials start at around $7 making it a winner for your wallet as much as your taste buds. More »

New Generation Sushi

Despite a cringe-worthy name and a rather unfortunate knifing incident, New Generation continues to draw Annex crowds for those who crave large amounts of cheap but solid raw fish. Lunch specials include a dozen maki for just $7 and free ice cream makes tables worth lining up for. More »

Double Sushi

Double Sushi proudly proclaims itself as "the best sushi restaurant in Toronto" and offers discounted rates on home inspections services on their website. Nonsensical business partnerships aside, this Danforth east spot offers a variety of gargantuan set dinners at awesomely low prices like the classic tempura bento box for $11. More »

O Sushi

Despite being relatively new, O Sushi already has a steady stream of regulars in its Coxwell Avenue haunt. Featuring tons of cheap lunch boxes at around $8-$10 and some of the freshest spicy salmon rolls in the business, one could almost overlook the fact that the restaurant is about the size of your living room (if your living room had a dedicated sushi chef working in it). Portions are not the biggest around, but the quality certainly is one of best. More »
