Sushi is an acquired taste and Mi Ne Sushi really delivers. The decor is minimal but really apt. The servers were very friendly and helped out with what to order. My favourite was the spider roll.
I tried one of their sushi, sashimi and rolls take-out platter from this place. The selection and freshness of the fish was very decent for affordable sushi. The raw shrimp tasted fresh, and the rolls were well made, although the fillings weren't as flavourful as I would have liked. Also, their spicy salmon was way more panko crumbs and sauce than fish. This place is certainly better than most sushi places in the city, but not a place I would deliberately go to unless its location happened to be very convenient at the time.

Stopped in on a Saturday night. Right away I loved the cuteness of this place. There are some little booths along the wall when you walk in that have privacy curtains. They look like they fit about 4 people but since we were just two and the booths were already full we got a table by the front window. This place is tiny and filled up very quickly.
We followed our usual sushi routine and split some veggie gyoza and vegetable tempura to start and ordered vegetarian maki rolls. We ordered two yam tempura rolls, one veggie roll and one asparagus avocado cucumber (AAC) roll. Everything was truly delicious. I was really happy to find veggie gyoza on the meu and they were nice and crunchy. I really liked the presentation of the yam tempura rolls, but the veggie roll was definitely my favourite. It had cucumber, avocado, pickled radish and squash. I love avocado, the cucumber made it taste refreshing and the radish and squash added a nice depth. I would say the only thing the menu is missing would be some kind of "signature" vegetarian maki roll and maybe a vegetarian spicy crispy roll. Otherwise it did seem like a great menu and there were a few things I would be interested in going back to try.
The service was pretty good despite the two servers being swamped with dine-in and take-out orders. Our water glasses were always promptly refilled and we were in and out pretty quick. We were also given fresh little oranges at the end of our meal which was a nice touch.
I've been to the Mi•Ne Sushi location near my house up in Markham, but this was my first time at the downtown Toronto location. I ordered take-out but the restaurant itself was packed with people inside and outside on the patio. I ordered their lunch sushi special D. It came with 7 pieces of sushi and 6 pieces of spicy salmon, along with a miso soup and salad. The soup was a little too salty, but the salad was good.

The only thing I was confused is why the dressing was over all the lettuce lol it was very hard and messy to eat that. The sushi itself was pretty good. I think they used a bit too much rice though, but the fish was fresh. The spicy salmon was my favorite and very delicious.
This place has such good sushi! I have always liked Moto Sushi at yonge and sheppard and since I started living downtown, I have only been dining here for sushi. The amount of fish they add in their sushi, I wonder if they even realize it. They are big chunks of salmon and you can taste them unlike other sushi places. I love their Orangeville sushi set but recently they have been very oily. It tastes amazing! Full of flavours and scallops and salmon. You also have to have it in bites of two - yeh it's that big.
A friend and I ended up at this place trying to get out of the rain while we waited for the Jays home opener to start. The original plan was to go to St.Louis, but the line up to get in was crazy, so we opted for the cute sushi place next door, and I'm happy we did.
This place is pretty small, about three booths off to the side and then maybe 7 tables. We were greeted pretty much right away, and even though it is small, we got a table right away too. We initially were just in for drinks, but the menu was just too tempting.
We both ordered a small Sapporo (I think the difference is small is a bottle and large is the big cans). My friend ordered the sashimi salad and a spicy salmon roll and I ordered the Orangeville roll. The salad came out right away and it looked fresh and tasty and my friend enjoyed it. The rolls were massive. I could barely fit one piece in my mouth, but as lady like as I could, I managed to cram each piece into my mouth whole, except the last, I would have chocked on it, and no body wants that. The rolls themselves were made nicely, fresh tasting, and not too spicy. I think both of us would have like the sauce to be a bit spicier, but we had wasabi so all was good.
The thing that made my night was the random avocado in the bathroom. Not sure if it was decor, or someone forgot some of their groceries, but it made me laugh (simple things make me smile). Oh and the bathrooms we really clean.
Overall I really liked this place, service was quick, food was good, and the place was clean. I shall return.
Best experience at a sushi restaurant ever ! the employees were super friendly, and the quality of food for the price was fantastic ! very impressed
The BEST sushi ever!. I love sushi and have tried many places in Toronto, Ottawa, Oakville, Montreal... and this one is the best by far. A little on the pricey side but totally worth it! I try to go for dinner anytime I can.
Fantastic fresh sushi with great service. Presentation was phenomenal and the value is there with very generous portions. Best in Aurora by far.
Been here numerous times and, in my opinion, this place has the best sushi in the city. I know that's a bold claim but the quality of the fish and the freshness of each entree cannot be matched by any other sushi joint.
Mmmm.. sushi!. A regular spot for me and my friends. The sushi is great, and we've always had good service! More expensive than other sushi places, but understandable given its real estate. It's worth it! Also good for take-out!
Fantastic quality fresh fish with a good value for (a bit more) money!. I have always left Mi Ne downtown with the hope to return very soon because of how much I have enjoyed it! I admit I have never done take-out or lunch here, so I can't compare; though am surprised by the negative comments. As of now, this is the place to which I would most like to return.
The 4 times I have been, we have ordered a filling combination of dinner and a la carte items for 2, including one of the sashimi dinners (comes with miso soup and basic garden salad), some sushi rolls, choice sashimi pieces, and an extra (wakame) salad and miso soup. I have yet to have a bad bite. The wakame salad is one of the best I have sampled. The service has been friendly and prompt; the tea is really nice and attentively refilled; and the mood is casual and relaxed, yet professional. Your meal at Mi Ne will cost more than at the average downtown Toronto sushi place ($50 - $80 range for the 2 of us with no alcohol), but it is well worth it! Compared to a similarly priced restaurant, I find the food here is similar in excellent quality, prepared beautifully, though with a little less creativity, and is far more satisfying in quantity.
Unfortunately we don't live close to either of the Mi Ne locations, so this is a treat for when we have a reason for a longer drive.
The Bluefin menu displayed at the time of this post is certainly not correct.
Menu shown here is incorrect, i think. Mi Ne sushi has a different menu, not bluefin.
You will definitely pay a premium here but it is well worth a few extra dollars!
The sushi is very good, but a little overpriced for the portions.
The food was really good; though not the best sushi I've ever had, it's in my top ten. The value was not bad. The dinning area is small, with only 7-8 tables, but it's cozy with an almost romantic atmosphere. On my first visit they threw in extra miso soup in my order... Overall, 7/10
The place was rammed full of people ordering to eat in house as well as takeout despite the rainy weather. We watched the workers bring out tray after tray of baklava from the back, so you know the turnover rate must be insanely high and there is no chance of getting stale or old baklava.
So the first thing to do is get a baseline. This is the CEVİZLİ Baklava, which is baklava with walnut (38 TL / kg). It's so simple, but it was my favourite one. Such a perfect combination of flavours, the exact right balance of sweetness and the precise amount of crispness and flakiness of the pastry. Don't get me wrong, it was very sweet, but it was still balanced and tasted incredible. OMG, soooo goood!
One of the best sushi place I have been to in Toronto. It's a small restaurant located near the Rogers centre, with simple decor, friendly staff and fast service. The food is great with a vast menu, meaning everyone can find something they like.
If you are in downtown Toronto, definitely try this place out.
Food: 4/5, Ambience: 4/5, Service: 4/5
Service is good and the sushi is great. A bit on the pricier side but one of the only restaurants around where I live - cityplace. Would definitely recommend but not a great place for groups of over 4 people.
I liked my selection of sushi since the assorted nigiri sushi was soft and fresh. The spicy salmon rolls were huge! It was still possible to fit a whole one into your mouth but you really had to make sure your mouth was kept closed to chew it all down. This provided lots of breaks and pauses during our chat to allow the big sushi rolls to be devoured. Everything was really fresh and presentation looked great too.I tried the California roll from Jenny’s lunch and it was really good! The ingredients are yummy and fresh.
All in all, Mi-NE is a nice Japanese place for sushi and rolls.
