The Best Sushi in Etobicoke: Five Spots Worth Knowing

Etobicoke Lifestyle & Community Dave Dubbin August 12, 2026

Etobicoke's sushi scene runs from one of the most respected omakase counters in the country to the takeout spot that knows your order by the second visit. Our five: Sushi Kaji on The Queensway, Tobiko in the Kingsway, Kibo Sushi House in Islington Village, Shin Ramen and Sushi in New Toronto, and Sushi 4U in Long Branch. Yes, we probably left off your favourite. Read to the end before you write in.

Every one of these spots comes with a neighbourhood attached. Browse our Etobicoke neighbourhood guides to see which one fits how you live.

1. Sushi Kaji, The Queensway

Start with the heavyweight. Sushi Kaji at 860 The Queensway has been quietly serving some of the best traditional sushi in Canada for over two decades, and people drive in from across the region for it. There is no menu to agonize over. It is omakase, which simply means the chef decides and you eat what arrives, course by course. Dinner only, Wednesday through Sunday, about thirty seats, so book well ahead. It is a special occasion room at a special occasion price, sitting in a plain strip of The Queensway you would otherwise drive past. That contrast is very Etobicoke, and we love it.

2. Tobiko, The Kingsway

At 3073 Bloor Street West, a short walk from Royal York station, Tobiko is the Kingsway's date night sushi room. Dinner service only, closed Mondays, with a long menu that covers sashimi, rolls and cooked Japanese plates for whoever at the table claims they do not like raw fish. Book a table on a Friday and the room hums. It fits the strip: Bloor through the Kingsway does quiet luxury better than almost anywhere in the west end.

3. Kibo Sushi House, Islington Village

Kibo is a Toronto chain, we know, but the Islington location at 4925 Dundas Street West earns its spot the boring way: open every day, consistent fish, fair prices, and takeout that survives the drive home. For the growing condo crowd around Islington City Centre it has become the default weeknight answer. There is a second Etobicoke branch at 2945 Lake Shore Boulevard West if you are south of the tracks.

4. Shin Ramen and Sushi, New Toronto

On the Lake Shore strip at 3106 Lake Shore Boulevard West, Shin does double duty: proper tonkotsu ramen on one side of the menu, sushi and pressed aburi on the other. That combination makes it the rare spot that settles the argument when half your group wants noodles. Portions are generous and the room is casual. Closed Sundays, which has caught us out more than once. New Toronto keeps turning into one of the best main streets in the west end, and kitchens like this are why.

5. Sushi 4U, Long Branch

Further west at 3423 Lake Shore Boulevard West, Sushi 4U is the neighbourhood spot in the best sense: family run, friendly to a fault, and built for regulars. Fresh maki and sashimi, easy pickup, delivery when the couch wins. Closed Mondays. Long Branch has that small town on the lake feel, and this is exactly the kind of local business that makes people who move there stay.

The ones we argued about

Five spots means leaving people out. Momiji at 2955 Bloor Street West has fed the Kingsway for years and has its loyalists, and the sushi counters keep multiplying along Lake Shore and Dundas. Consider this list a starting point, and if we missed the place you swear by, tell us. We took the bakery complaints on the chin and we will take these too.
