Reviews for Umi Sushi Express in Toronto, ON
I've had a few poor experiences and won't be going back. Quality of fish tends to be very low and you can taste it. It's too... bad they are trying to keep costs as low as possible by using cheapest raw materials as possible. Read more
I wish I could give this a 0. I ordered the chicken bento box and I am not even sure if it contained real chicken meat. Also, my... yam tempura was made with rotten yams.The side salad had a weird tasting dressing. The bento box was also so expensive( 14.70after tax) and it did not even come with miso soup. I haven?t been this disappointed in a long time. Good thing is that theyrefunded me the money when I showed them the rotten yams. Read more
Went for being my favourite place to being ok. The bento box has too much rice in it, asked half rice twice and nothing was done... differently. Asked for brown rice today and got white rice. The vegetarian bento (with avocado rolls instead of shrimp rolls)has been the same price, but now it's $1.5 more. Requesting less rice now also costs more ($0.5). Not really sure what happenedbut they got worse rather quickly for my opinion. Edit: avocado rolls now are 2$ more, basically for removing a higher pricedroll in favour of a cheaper one. Brown rice now costs more too. Lady at the counter has a good attitude towards customers so atleast there's that Read more
This place used to be good but then the bento box changed. I used to buy a chicken bento box at a flat price and you would then... choose what items you wanted in the box (i.e. brown rice or white rice, salad or edamame, and one type of california roll from 2or 3 choices). Chicken used to be actual chicken that you could actually discern was chicken. Now the bento box is made in thebackroom rather than in front of you. There is an additional charge for brown rice that they don't tell you about, the chickenis rubbery and I'm not sure if I was actually eating shrimp or chicken. Not even sure if it was cooked properly. Rice wasoverdone and there is no choice for the roll. Finally, I used to love the bento box for the edamame and while they're still onthe photo above the cashier, all the boxes now sport the lousy salad that no one ever opted for before. Also the price went upfrom $9.99 to $12.99. This used to be my favourite place but now I will avoid it like the plague. Read more
Cashier asked me with white or brown rice, but she didn?t tell me there?s an extra charge for brown rice. They did not charge... more for brown rice before Too much teriyaki source dressing, so too salty to me. Also, the sprouts not fresh. I normallyspend $10 after tax for lunch. The mini bento box before is good. Now I do not recommend this one. It does not worth $13. Read more
The bento boxes they have here are arguably some of the best in downtown Toronto. You can't go wrong with any of the options,... really, whether you get the chicken thigh or breast, bulgogi beef, shrimp tempura, or inari (tofu); the yam tempura or mixveggies tempura; and the salad or edamame. Would highly recommend! Read more
Got the mini bento via a food ordering app. Super fast service. Good food. Salad was well dressed. But was hungry after 2 hours.... Will consider getting the large one next time. Read more
So if you're looking for authentic sushi and Japanese cuisine... this is not the place. Having said that, their portions are... gigantic! If you're looking to stuff yourself at lunch with some generic Asian food, this is the place. The taste is 3/5 but ifyou're not picky and care about quantity, then it's 4/5. Read more
