Sushi Run

What is Sushi Run? Situated along Bloor Street West near Islington Station, Sushi Run is a neighbourhood Japanese staple run by owner Annie, a former longtime server who took over the reins to build a beloved local dining room. The cozy interior features warm wood accents and private, booth-style partitioned seating that provides an intimate, comfortable setting for casual lunches and relaxed evening dinners.

Sushi Run Menu & What to Order Generous portions and fresh fish define the kitchen's extensive offerings, spanning classic nigiri sets to elaborate specialty rolls. Crowd favourites include the flame-seared Aburi Sushi, the crunchy Fire Dragon Roll, and the hearty Salmon Lovers Combo, flanked by hot appetizers like sweet-savory Crystal Noodles and crispy gyoza. Vegetarians and vegans are exceptionally well catered to with an expansive lineup of creative veggie funky rolls that go well beyond basic avocado maki.

Know Before You Go Walk-ins are welcomed, though calling ahead for a table or booth is wise during peak Friday and Saturday dinner rushes. Located steps from Islington subway station, the restaurant is easily accessible by TTC, with metered street parking lining Bloor Street West. Takeout and party platters are hugely popular here, so order ahead online if you are on a tight schedule.
