Shiroshi Sushi

Shiroshi Sushi has expanded from its suburban roots in Mississauga to establish its first downtown Toronto location on West Queen West. Since its initial launch in 2024, the restaurant has gained a reputation for its premium fish selection and visually striking presentation. The menu focuses on high-quality nigiri, sashimi, and an extensive variety of aburi (torched) sushi, which features unique toppings and house-made sauces. Situated on a bustling block between Beaconsfield Avenue and Lisgar Street, the restaurant operates in a competitive culinary corridor alongside established venues like the Drake Hotel and Bar Prima.

For a first visit, expect a menu that highlights creative offerings such as the Aburi Shiro—topped with yellowtail and crunchy rice krispies—and the Aburi Honey Mustard roll featuring BBQ eel and butterfish. The restaurant is well-regarded for its luxury sashimi boxes and donburi rice bowls, which include premium ingredients like Hokkaido sea urchin and bluefin tuna belly. While the space is designed for high-end takeout, the soft opening in late May 2026 brought significant attention to the brand's arrival in the city. Diners should be prepared for a busy environment given its high-profile location and the popularity of its signature torched sushi preparations.
