Sushi California: Fresh, Generous, and Flavorful Sushi in Toronto’s St Clair West

This sushi spot is spectacular Start with the miso soup, perfectly balanced and soothing before the main event. The Smoked Salmon, Rainbow, and Philadelphia rolls are my top three must-tries, each with its own standout flavor. If you still have room, the Cowboy roll is the perfect finisher. Don’t skip the salmon sushi pieces either—super fresh and melt-in-your-mouth. The staff are friendly, quick to recommend rolls, and make the experience even better. Beautiful presentation, fresh ingredients, and consistent flavor every time. Definitely my go-to sushi spot

Amazing sushi, fair prices, kind staff, and comfy. They have private tables that are great for a work lunch or family dinner. Super recommend!

Prepare to have your expectations gloriously shattered at Sushi California. Honestly, the quality of sushi you get for the price here is nothing short of astounding – in the best way possible! The sashimi was incredibly fresh, practically swimming from the ocean onto my plate. And the rolls? Oh, the rolls! They were so absurdly generous, you might think they'd had a growth spurt – prepare for a delightful challenge, perhaps even requiring a two-hand grip! My friend, who actually owns a sushi restaurant back in Montana, was equally floored, genuinely questioning how they manage to sell such fantastic sushi at these prices. It was quite a spectacle watching him try to decipher their secret. The place itself was buzzing with energy, packed with a diverse crowd of patrons from all walks of life, including many fellow Asians, which is always a good sign. The vibrant atmosphere just added to the experience. A quick tip for your visit: Parking can be found affordably on nearby streets or at the 91 Via Italia parking lot. All in all, it was a thoroughly satisfying meal that left both my taste buds and my wallet surprisingly happy. If you're looking for an incredible sushi experience that punches way above its weight class, Sushi California is definitely where it's at!

Sushi California is definitely my go-to spot for sushi! The place itself is quite small for how popular it is, and to be honest, it’s not the most attractive restaurant inside or outside. It’s always full when I go. But honestly, it’s absolutely worth it because the food is just that good! The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and everything tastes fresh and delicious. I usually start by sharing the fried shrimps—they’re big, crispy, and super tasty. For rolls, my absolute favorite is the Double Dynamite Roll (I order it every single time!). I also really enjoy the Green Dragon Roll, and I’ve tried both the Malibu Roll and the Cowboy Roll, which are also delicious. All of their sushi rolls are flavorful, original, and different. This spot never disappoints—it’s always my go-to sushi place!

Sushi California is the most reliable sushi joint on St Clair west. It’s really this place, or the Kibo Sushi by Christie (which is a pretty mid Kibo experience compared to others). This place has really tight seating for the main tables, but if you can snag one of the booths, you’re gonna have a very chill and relaxing time; spacious and quiet! Ordered the Sushi California Boat + a few other things, and I was so surprised by the size of these sashimi pieces… absolutely massive! For $35, we were pretty blown away by how liberal the slices were! Fresh salmon, and a nice variety on the platter. Tuna has a little bit of a fishy vibe, but it wasn’t too far gone. Definitely worth ordering this; great for sharing. Servers were super speedy and kind, food arrived promptly! This place is consistent and reliable… it’s not the fanciest sushi you’ll ever have, but you’ll be satisfied if you’re looking for that perfect mid-tier casual sushi experience! P.S. Eliza Niemi’s song "Sushi California" is, in fact, written after this establishment’s namesake. Legendary; look it up

The first time I ate sushi in my life was here and I can say that it left a very good impression on me because it was really delicious. I tried two models, the cowboy roll and the Chicago roll, and I really liked them. The staff was also very respectful and nice.

One of my favorite sushi places. The quality is great, and the prices are very reasonable. I’d love to come here every week!
