Lola Sushi

The service was quick, didn’t have to wait to be seated, neat and quiet atmosphere!! Cheerful and sweet server Food was delicious, right temperature, neither too oily tempuras and perfectly seasoned meats!! 10/10 The price paid for the food was worth!! We were content ☺️ Thank you Lola Sushi for a wonderful time

Absolutely outstanding. The sushi and Maki was wonderful with great presentation. But the service was even better. There was an old lady there who appeared to be trying sushi for the first time. The waitress took time to help explain the menu to her and even took a few minutes to show her how to use chopsticks. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Lola Sushi feels like being in Korea or Japan. It's the warmth of the place and the people. I enjoy my Lola bento. I had such a busy day and I'm happy to have a peaceful, delicious, and good portion lunch today. Thank you so much.

Such a hidden gem, only found about this place recently. Small sushi place that serves Japanese and Korean food. Lovely service and prices were reasonable. Def coming back to try the other menu they have 🙂

I’ve been here dozens of time and Lola’s never misses. Food never disappoints, always fresh and comes out quick! Service is always welcoming and friendly! Love this little mom and pop sushi spot! Thank you for always being lovely and being my go-to sushi spot!

Update (March 12) - went back and actually took photos. Again, very good! 😊 Very delicious and amazing portions for the price. I got the Lola Bento, and I admittedly ate it without taking a photo because it was so good. There can be a bit of a wait, but it is a kind couple running the shop so that is to be expected. They were both very friendly and courteous. I will definitely be coming back :)

very simple mom & pop sushi restaurant. they were definitely short staffed but the lady was doing a fantastic job of managing all the tables & being honest with new customers that came in that it would be slow. Once we ordered, everything came out relatively quickly. The water was infused with lemons! That was a nice surprise Miso soup was delicious - we ordered a sushi set which included it and ordered another. Veg tempura was good and great price - onion, sweet potato, zucchini, and broccoli The sushi set came with California and salmon rolls. I didn’t realize the seaweed would be on the outside for the salmon but it wasn’t too bad! The sushi was really good. The one thing we felt was a bit expensive was the edamame at $3.95 for the small plate. We would definitely come back!

The quality of the sushi is not the highest but the prices are decent, so you get what you pay for. The portion sizes were fair. The best dish we had there was the spicy udon.

You get what you pay for. Great price for lunch. Went with my friend on a Thursday afternoon. Staff was very nice and the food came quickly. The bento boxes came with a soup and salad. The fish was fresh and taste was ok but portions were small. All in all Decent for the price.

It's been a minute since I ate here and the quality hasn't changed! Of course items are more expensive due to inflation but you can expect the service and the quality of the food to still be top notch! I got their super bento set and was so satisfied at the quality of the food, and the different items that come with this set. Sushi was fresh and chunky, crispy temporas, fresh salad, and a delicious meal overall Will definitely visit this place more now that I will be in the area more often

I'm becoming a fan of these hole in the wall sushi spots that don't look too appealing on the outside but offer great value and quality. Came here on a weekday evening and it wasn't busy at all. Ordered the Super Bento (17.95) which came with Sushi (5pcs) + Sashimi (7pcs) + Tempura + Rolls (4pcs), along with miso soup and salad. There's a deceiving amount of food. Especially the tempura which definitely fills you up. I actually liked the rolls and the tempura more than the sushi and sashimi but it was still solid. You'll definitely be full from this! They also threw in a sliced orange as a little dessert which was nice. Great value overall!

Lola Sushi is my favourite local restaurant in the leaside area! The staff are super kind and helpful with a smile on their face. The sushis come in large portions and the salmon sashima always tastes incredibly fresh Get a lot of bang for your buck!

While browsing BlogTO earlier this week, Lola was on the list as one of the top 30 sushi spots in Toronto. Since I was in the hood, I thought I'd give it a try. I ordered the Lola Bento which comes with 7 pieces of sashimi, 4 sushi, tempura, rice, salad and miso soup. Because I ordered it for dinner, it cost $1.00 more compared to lunch. When I unbox the take out upon getting home, the tempura portion is huge! I got 2 pieces of shrimp, 2 pieces of yam and 1 piece of broccoli tempura. There's a total of 2 pieces of sushi, two pieces of yam tempura and 2 pieces of cucumber. It was actually a lot of food! I couldn't finish the entire bento, I still have the rice and the sashimi left. I plan put it together as a mini chirashi and finish it later. I'm look forward to try their other rolls next next time.

First time at Lola Sushi and I ordered California & salmon roll. It was good but the portion was on the smaller side, compared to the other sushi restaurants in the vicinity. Was able to pick up quickly but overall service and cleanliness was alright. Seeing great reviews, would give another try!

My friends and I came here last Saturday night because of the highly acclaimed Yelp rating and man, were we disappointed. We ordered the 55pc sushi and maki combo and asked to switch all the sushi to be salmon instead of the regular variety but we were told that we weren't allowed to make substitutions. I thought that was strange since most places will allow that accommodation as salmon tends to be cheaper than other fish (like unagi). But once the food came, I knew why. Not one piece within the selection of sushi was notable, with subpar salmon sadly being the "best one". While the portion sizes were fair and nothing tasted "bad", the sashimi was not fresh, the white tuna was served the wrong temperature, and the white snapper was very chewy. Furthermore, the maki rolls were very disappointing. Made with cheap ingredients with high rice-to-filling ratio, they were considerably low-quality rolls. I rationalize that the Yelp rating here is so high because there aren't many other sushi restaurants in the area, which is fair for the locals.. but coming from downtown Toronto and uptown GTA, let me tell you that there this is SO much better out there! Go out and explore the amazing sushi scene that Toronto has to offer!

After a string of visits to lousy sushi joints in the Yonge/Eglinton area (I'm looking at you, Sushi Rock), I was beginning to think I'd never get to eat some decent sushi in my neighborhood. Enter Lola Sushi. We were walking down Yonge and decided to take a chance on this place, which I'd passed many, many times without giving it a second thought. I was a little worried at first, as it seemed to take a long time for our waitress to initially visit our table. (The entire staff seemed swamped with take-out orders.) But show up she did and from that point on, the service was quite fast and efficient. We started with a Salmon Hand Roll each and I immediately knew that Lola Sushi was a cut above other establishments in the area. It was extremely well prepared with a generous serving of salmon. I can't remember the last time I've eaten a hand roll where the fish was present all the way to the last bite. Very impressive. Our next course was an order of tempura vegetables, which contained two of the following: sweet potato, broccoli, onion, and zucchini. They arrived to the table piping hot and crispy, and accompanied by a soy-sauce based dip. This was quite tasty and you can't beat the price. ($3 for all that!) Our main course was a platter that contained 35 pieces of sushi, including a series of rolls and nigiri. Again, the quality of the food was outstanding. The various sushi was all prepared extremely well, although we were a little surprised by the heavy-hand with which the wasabi was employed on certain pieces. Could Lola Sushi be the best sushi joint in the Yonge and Eglinton area? Based on just the visit, I'd be inclined to say yes.

This is now my favourite sushi spot in Toronto. I've been here a few times, mostly for take out. They have a great selection for combo dishes and specialty rolls, and everything tastes really fresh. My favourite roll is the Black Dragon, with tempura shrimp inside, topped with unagi and avocado. Great value, especially if you share a variety of dishes with friends.

I gave this place 5 stars for the price vs service and taste i had during my experience. First time to try this place, and i will come back for sure to try other menu items, or even repeat the sushi experience. The place is clean and tidy, the stuff are welcoming. The price is reasonable for the order and the amount of seafood presented. We had combo A, which is perfect for 2 persons, contained 30 pcs with good variety, 14 sushi and 6 maki, and 10 sashimi. The dish is delicious, the rice was cooked perfectly, sticky but not overdone. And the fish tasted fresh. The waitress brought 2 side salad and 2 miso soup on the house, the salad dressing is delicious, while the miso soup was light but freshly made. I would recommend you to give it a try, as myself will go and try other Korean menu items.

I've been coming to Lola Sushi for a few years now--it's still my favourite spot in Midtown for an affordable, tasty meal in an unpretentious setting. My go-to is the Super Bento ($11.95) - which includes sushi, sashimi, tempura, and 4 veggie rolls, along with a salad and miso soup. Seriously, you can't really go wrong with this - you get 3 types of fish plus shrimp, deep fried goodness from the tempura, and variation in texture. I've also tried their special rolls and they're good - I love Dynamite Roll and Black Dragon Roll ($8-9.95). Their appetizers are cheap and hit the spot - $3.50 for 6 piece gyoza and veggie tempura for $3.00. The sushi pizza ($7) is worth a try if you want something new. Their bibimbap w spicy chicken ($9.95) is generous with the meat compared to others I've tried. They've got a couple Japanese beers on offer in can/bottle. It's cozy and clean inside and they play jazz music. The service is super friendly every single time. If you're looking for some fancy trendy place you better head to some overpriced joint -- but if you want reliably awesome and affordable sushi in a cozy laid-back atmosphere then def give Lola a try.

I'm not usually a fan of getting sushi in the city as restaurants are usually over priced, small portions, low quality, etc. But this place is reasonable for being in Toronto. They have many options and different combos for sushi, sashimi, teriyaki, tempura, rolls, etc. (note that dinner prices +$1 from lunch). The prices are what's preventing me from giving this a fifth star. But I don't think it's overpriced, just average and not a great "deal" I love how they have a korean menu as well. Just in case you and others in your party are feeling different cuisines. My favourite thing is that they don't cheap out on quality. Pieces are just the right size and super fresh! The server's are super nice, which makes up for the small and almost squishy seating.

Please service with smile Tasty sushi with lots of variety on the menu I ordered a platter, was decent size for price. Dined in and environment was clean.

Best Sushi in the area by far. Consistently good. Lovely family run restaurant. excellent value

Great prices with good variety. Went here in the evening on a weekday as a party of 3. The restaurant it self is quite small but I think the decor really makes it seem quite cozy. I ordered the super bento combo which came with sashimi, sushi, and tempura. Which I think with the addition of $2 for dinner was $14? Very reasonable. The fish was a bit hit or miss. I find it very difficult to find good tuna here in the city, at least at these price points, but the salmon was generally ok. Some pieces were better than others. The tempura however in my opinion was battered too much. While the outside was crispy, the inner layer was still a bit soft. Overall, for the variety you get it's a great deal but you get what you pay for in terms of quality.

No complaints. Never fails. All rolls clean and fresh. Fish melts in your mouth and great quality. No weird chewy pieces. Def my sushi go to. Yummy yum.

Had the super deluxe bento and thought it was great. You won't go hungry, even if you normally would at an a la carte sushi place. The bulgogi was soft and tender. I wish it came with more sauce but the bulgogi was satisfying mixed with rice. The tempura was oily. I quite liked the sashimi and found the fish very soft and they were very thick cuts (so 9 pieces was more like 12). The rolls that people ordered at other tables looked very impressive as they were carried past. Service is a bit slow. It was difficult getting a hold of them to place our order, or run up our bill. They're very busy at lunchtime, so you might want to make a reservation or risk having to stand and wait. They have 10% off cash, if you buy more than $20 for takeout.

Lola is our go-to order-in sushi in the neighbourhood. Is it the most special, gourmet sushi you can get? No. But it is definitely at least a few steps above your average take-out, quick sushi place. And the staff are very friendly here. Our favourites include the dynamite roll, the yam roll, and once in a while we'll go for the sakura--the outside is deep-fried and it's delicious, although I find it's heavier than a normal sushi roll, which is why we don't order it all the time. Other suggestions: if you're getting a mix of rolls and sushi, the sushi appetizer offers a good variety for two people to share. The tempura is also quite tasty. We have dined in, and it's fine--unpretentious, usually quiet. Normally, we get take-out or delivery. Pro tip: Tip the friendly delivery woman (who is also the server in-house) generously--she will always bring your food fast so even the tempura is still hot and crispy! (and also, this is the decent thing to do!).

Chirashi bowl: good Galbi: good, but needs more marinade Dolsot bibimbap: average, sauce is too sweet and not spicy enough Nothing was done wrong, but nothing was extraordinary.

B3. Sashimi bento is the best bang for your buck... sashimi includes red tuna sashimi which is quite rare. only downside is, its not the most filling meal.

Amazing place. Great ambiance. Really amazinggggg and fresh food. Very friendly service. Absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back! We ordered a maki set and a bibimbap. All was very fresh and the bill was about $20 for two people. And it came with miso soup and salad too!

If you're looking for a cheap and filling sushi lunch you can't go wrong with Lola. Bentos start at around $8 and have all the standards you'd expect... Sushi, sashimi, bulgogi, etc. As an added bonus, they also have Korean food such as BiBimBap. They might not look like much, and their sushi wraps might not always be perfect, but this place is packed with good food and value.

This place is amazing! I had the pleasure of trying the Lola Bento and the Super Bento (on separate visits). Both came with sushi and sashimi that was incredibly fresh! The tempura was nice and crunchy as well! Overall a very pleasurable dining experience!!! (The rating is simply for the food, as the interior is quite simple, and the layout/floor plan is not the best, but that is all secondary when looking for a good meal, right?).

So this place for really high ratings and I decided to check it out. I don't know if it was an off day but it was awful. We ordered two different bento boxes. The rice was a small amount but what made it most unpleasant was the non crispy and very stale tempura batter. It's unfortunate that both our bento boxes had tempura shrimp and our sushi contained it. I always order spicy salmon at new places to see if they can make a decent roll. It was so underwhelming and the crunchy stuff in it was staleeeee. We were both so disappointed that we couldn't finish our food entirely. Never coming here again.

2.5/5, +.5 for service If this is the best that the Yonge-Eglinton area can offer in terms of sushi, I probably will skip this neighbourhood if I'm looking for a balance between good quality sushi and good prices. The first thing I realized when I arrived for lunch was the lack of lunch specials. Although there are plenty of options available (such as maki sets), I expected a separate menu for lunch items, similar to pretty much every single Japanese restaurant I go to. I ordered the SM-1 sushi/maki set, which came with a soup and salad. The soup was okay, though the salad quantity was lower than I expected. Not a huge issue; it's salad after all. The actual sushi and maki had a couple of issues: The maki pieces (california roll) did not stick very well. Two of the six pieces fell off immediately after I grabbed it with chopsticks. Also, I found the raw fish/rice ratio to be too high; there was a lot of rice with not a lot of fish, and I found myself quite full at around 75% completion (though I did manage to finish the set at the end). Also of note, their wasabi is very strong, so if you're weak in wasabi tolerance like me, ask them to not put it in. You have been warned. For $12.95 plus tax it was definitely one of the higher end prices for my sushi lunch explorations, though I did get a few more pieces than usual. If they had a lunch special that was around $10 with two less pieces I would consider giving this place a second try. Service was good though; I didn't need to call any employees for them to take my order, refilling my tea, or asking for the bill.

Wow! Thanks fellow Yelpers! Based on your recommendations my family and I ate here tonight and it was great! We ordered beef udon, California roll, sushi pizza and the Lola bento box with sashimi - there was salad (dressing was tangy and zippy) and miso soup. There was one waitress and she did a great job maintaining all the customers and refilling water. She was also very kind and helpful, like when we needed a smaller bowl or extra napkins. Fish was fresh and texture smooth like butter. The udon is one of the better ones one could have at a sushi/Korean resto. Nice flavored broth. Wasn't too salty. And the price point was perfect. Highly recommend this little gem along Yonge Street.

DO NOT GO HERE. FOOD POISON. I wish I went with my gut feeling when we walked in and I smelled mold. Yelpers- you have disappointed me. I have no idea how people could have given good ratings to this horrendous place. The place was falling apart (the decor), but we chose to ignore that. The waitress was wearing short jean shorts and that was pretty damn weird, honestly. But again- whatever. Maybe the food will be good? No. I had the chirashi and my boyfriend had some sushi combo. The fish tasted weird. Not smelly but it didn't taste good. The texture was off and grainy. Wtf? On the drive home, I felt the bubbles in my stomach. Food poisoning all night. Both of us. There's a better sushi place down the street. Go there instead.

Came here for lunch and ordered a bento. The sashimi was okay. It was what I expected and the prices are reasonable. Service could have been more attentive.

One of my favourite low-key sushi spots. Not only for the sushi but also for some of the Korean dishes that can be found on the menu. I'm there at least twice a month for the seafood soon tofu chigae which is piping hot (spicy and temperature) and absolutely delicious. Come summertime, I'm usually ordering up the Hwaedupbap (sashimi with rice, vegetables, and a Korean chili sauce). The spicy rolls are great (and come out in huge portions) and the sushi pizza is probably one of the best I've ever had in Toronto. The pizza base of rice is always fresh fried and crispy and the raw salmon and avocado piled on top is tasty. It's easy to blink and miss this restaurant but go looking for it and you won't be disappointed!

Ok so what's good about this place is definitely their prices - very good value for money here. But you get what you pay for - it's not super high quality. But hey, you want good sushi go to izzu at davisville and you'll double your bill. The portions are generous and a must order is the spicy tuna rolls or spicy salmon rolls. They top o the rolls with more deep friend tuna or salmon in panko. Great touch and only for $6. The interior is not the greatest, but it adds to the experience. The menu has both japanese and korean (since it's owned by koreans). But you're not getting the full service here like bibimbap in a stone bowl, etc. I do have to say one thing though, i came here with four friends and one of them said he got food poisoning that night. I don't know if it was from Lola (we did have gelato next door after dinner) but it's worth mentioning. I'm definitely going back though next time i want a cheap sushi night in the area. If someone gets sick again, then i know to keep away.

If there's one thing that's intolerable, it's being served food that's gone bad. Unfortunately, my boyfriend consumed some bad tuna and was sick for most of our vacation which we went on the following day. EEK! The rest of our food was fine, but he got sick from the Spicy Tuna Roll (we're 100% certain as I didn't eat any; I'm allergic to the tempura inside). 10/10 would not risk it again.

Sorry to have to reiterate Millie S' bad review based on food poisoning (also mentioned in Imran N's review), but I had the worst case of my life after eating at Lola. I think it was bad shell-fish in the spicy-tofu soup rather than the sushi (which was shared) - but I was dehydrated nearly to the point of hospitalization after expelling out of every orifice for six hours. Consider yourself forewarned.

Was recommended to me and we tried it out. Big mistake. Sushi was just ok. Fairly bland and not all fresh. The worst part is I called ahead and was told the food would be ready in 30 minutes. It was not ready until an hour later. I was left waiting in the restaurant with tired and hungry young kids in the car. And for a sizeable order all they gave me for the delay was free miso soup - for having to wait over 20 minutes. I indicated to them that had they told me it would have taken 60 minutes for a pickup instead of 30 minutes, I would have gone elsewhere. Nothin wrong with being honest as opposed to just trying to get one more order on a Friday night. Going forward I will just go somewhere else and will let friends know of my experience.

Recently tried Lola on a year long tour of Toronto sushi restaurants, here' s my review: Ambiance: Warm and charming atmosphere in a long, narrow space. It's also decorated with a touch of shabby chic that is uncommon in sushi restaurants but suits the area and floor plan well. Service: Good, no complaints. Price: You really can't be beat-- this is probably the most bang for my buck I've EVER got at a decent sushi restaurant. Definitely THE choice if you're looking for a filling meal. Food: As far as budget sushi goes, this is good, and VERY filling-- I especially enjoyed the spicy rolls. Is it excellent? No. Does it have any 'wow' factor? No... but it tastes right and is decently made, and you can enjoy complimentary tea and miso soup, which is always nice. In sum: I enjoyed Lola as a sushi option and can definitely see myself bringing friends to introduce them to sushi in a warm, charming restaurant. Otherwise, it's also a great restaurant to keep in your back pocket if you're looking to satisfy a sushi craving without breaking the bank.

Story time! A long time ago back when I was still just starting my sushi escapades (read: ~30 pounds lighter), there was a family owned sushi restaurant located in a very convenient location for me and my friends. We would gather there, get familiar with the owners, eat to our hearts content, and always have a great time. One week, we headed there to find that the restaurant had in fact closed down without any prior notice... it was a sad day for us all. The restaurant was unique in their dishes, especially their spicy salmon roll. Simply put, to this day, there has only been one place that has able to stand it's ground against it. And the only reason it can is because of the fact that they are(were) sister restaurants, owned by the same person. If you haven't guessed, Lola sushi is said restaurant. To this day, Lola has been the one restaurant I've found myself willing to drive over 40 minutes to get to. They have the sushi rolls that no one has come close to competing with, for one main reason: they don't skimp on the ingredients. Time and time again, sushi restaurant after sushi restaurant will find a way to maximize their profits: whether through increasing vegetable-to-meat ratios, over-packing the rice on the rolls, or just simply providing little/no meat to their rolls. This is not the case with Lola. If you haven't already taken a look at the gallery on here, you can tell. They add gratuitous amounts of filling for the salmon rolls, their lobster roll actually has a good amount of lobster in it, and their sunset crab roll is simply extravagant (these are my top 3 rolls at this restaurant by the way). While I'll admit that their decor and service is somewhat lacking, I find myself biased in my review this time around because of the fact that it their rolls are simply on a whole other level than other places. With rather attractive menu prices, you can have yourself a grand feast and then some for much less than you would at other restaurants. At the end of the day, Lola Sushi brings me back to a younger time back when I was just discovering Toronto/GTA's sushi. And it'll probably remain on the top of my a-la-carte restaurants for a long time to come. This place is a definite try. Please go!

I held of for a few days...deciding whether of not to join the throngs of people praising this restaurant for its great food and superb service.... But... in the end I couldn't hold back, Lola Sushi should not be selfishly kept a secret from Torontonians deserving of a mind-blowing food experience. Readers should know that this Kor-apanese hybrid restaurant serves up some tasty meals, at even tastier prices! I had the Bulgogi bento (8 bucks) and my food partner in crime had Salmon Maki (4 bucks) and Tuna Maki ( 4 bucks). Stepping into Lola's makes you feel quite warm and cozified. It's a small little restaurant about 5 mins walk south of Eglington station. I live downtown, and I think Lola's is worth going uptown for. Rice paper screens partition the restaurant into enclosed cubicles, making dinner a pleasant intimate occasion for couples or a small group. The service was friendly, and the food arrived promptly. When my dish came to the table, at first I felt my heart sink a little because the portions were a bit on the smaller side. In comparison to the gargantuan bentos you get at Sushi on Bloor, the serving size of the bento's at Lola are much smaller. But Lola's gets a big gold star in my book for full on flavor. Overall the bulgogi was succulent, well spiced, and cooked with a nice assortment of veggies (not too many veggies though, bulgogi is a meat dish after all). The bento box included cold noodles, premium Japanese rice, a fresh salad with a really good dressing, miso soup and an orange. I give my meal 5 stars. I was so engrossed in my meal, and I don't eat much raw fish, so I cant directly comment on the sushi platter my husband ordered, however he said that the fish was very fresh, the rolls were plump, the fish looked great, and smelt fresh. Lola is lovely. Check her out!

The kind of place you will grow to love unconditionally within their humble interior and hardworking people. I keep on visiting them, craving for the fresh salmon that melts in your mouth and majestic rolls. I go for Lola's sushi with my boyfriend and we splurge as if there was no check in the end, we have our appetizers, miso soup, hot sake on the side, numerous rolls and a dessert for sure and end up paying $38 for both, buttons loose and happier than ever. They well deserve our money, so we keep going back on regular basis. It's not even just another sushi place, it's kind of a happy place, mellow background music, incredibly tiny yet efficient use of space and servers with smiles that never rest.

I tried out the sashimi bento at lunch time and the small sushi party tray for dinner. Both meals came with one of the freshest salmon sashimis I've ever had. The tuna sashimi was kinda tough so I'm not sure about the quality of that. unfortunately the meals weren't filling enough. I think it's a trade off between quality and quantity. also the restaurant smelled kinda old so I'm glad I got take outs instead.

Me and my colleagues LOVE this place and get food from there often. Everything is fresh, delicious and generous. Must try if you like sushi. Only thing is, the service can sometimes be slow and the seating is cramped, so we prefer to order in advance and pick it up. While initially I loved the fact that they sprinkle a generous portion of tempura with fish bits on their spicy rolls, I now think it is a little heavy for lunch (too much fried stuff), so I ask them to leave out the tempura when I order. Either way it is delicious!

Vegetarians/vegans: menu items marked as vegetarian might not be veg. We ordered the Vegetable Soon Tofu Soup because it was marked as vegetarian. I asked the waiter to double check if it really was. She told me there is beef in the broth. She also told me that's there's dairy in the tempura batter and fish in the miso soup. Really good service, but tricky to navigate the menu if you're veg! Be prepared to double check everything.

This is a great little sushi spot, smack between Davisville and Eglinton. I really like the bento boxes here. There is a wide selection of them and they are very reasonably priced (mostly under $10). I recommend the Lola Bento with sashimi, personally. When you get tempura in your bento here, you get a lot of it, at least 6 or 7 big pieces. It does look a bit like a hole in the wall from outside but is a very cute little spot once you get inside. They even have little little privacy barriers between the tables. And, the staff are very nice.

A solid sushi restaurant with amazingly friendly service. An added bonus is that Lola consistently passes it's health inspection, unlike some other sushi joints in the area.

My co-worker and I discovered this place about a month ago, and now we go there at least once every week for lunch. There are at least 10 sushi bar around Yonge & Eglinton and this is the best. The fish at Lola are fresh and the service is top notch. Their lunch manual is great, and I love their bento set. Because other sushi bar usually have lame maki rolls like cucumber or avocado rolls as fillers in their bento sets. But not at Lola, everything that comes with the bento is great. Their super-bento on the lunch manual is definitely my favorite. It has 4 maki rolls (not cucumber or avocado), 8 piece of sashimi, 5 piece of sushi, some shrimp and potato tempura, and a little side dish and a blow of rice. It also comes with miso soup and salad. And all that is just for $12.95 If you work on Yonge & Eglinton, you have to try this place out. It's on Yonge and it's about 5 minute (walking) down south of Eglinton

This place is my favorite sushi place, thanks to my boyfriend taking me here! My boyfriend used to work around the area a couple years ago, and he used to come here for lunch all the time so one day he took me here and I ended up loving this place. First, this place is owned by a korean couple and they are so sweet and friendly. Second, everthing i tried were good and it is so filling! I always order the lola bento, which includes soup, salad, tempura, 4 rolls, white rice and "choice", i always go with the 7 pieces sashimi. The pieces of sashimi are always thick, tempura is one of the best here, and the wasabi here is actually good. The wasabi at some other japanese places suck and I find that if wasabi at a restaurant is bad, it' not worth going back because wasabi is one of the most basic things. My boyfriend always order the chicken kara age bento and he loves it, he only orders that every time we go. it is hard to find parking, but it is close to the egliton subway station.

Not only is the food incredible, it's the service that keeps us coming. Amazing people - can't get enough of this place.

AMAZING. So cozy. I go every few weeks, and the food is so good. If you are used to really modern, nice spaces, this might not be for you. This place is cozy and the food is always great. The environment is perfect. If you are open-minded and just looking for a cozy place, this is great. If you are used to amazing service, food, and restaurants and have high expectations; then this isn't bazonka.

I've been ehre many times as it's close to work. Constantly understaffed, so service takes forever during the lunch rush. Made the mistake of getting bulgogi once, HORRID. Soggy, disgusting mess that tasted like liver or old meat. Sushi is ok, but the salmon and tuna rolls are way to greasy. Sushimi assortment does not have butterfish. Overall, I've stopped going.

This is definitely my favourite sushi place. Staff is extremely friendly, these guys are working hard to please their customers. Their fish is always fresh, full of flavour and made to order. Tried several different options and never been disappointed. Love it!

Delightful sushi restaurant. Friendly staff and the food is excellent. Good prices too. Sushi rolls are a decent portion for a light dinner and the sashimi plate is satisfying. It's small and cozy here and pretty low-key. Unagi melts in your mouth. Would certainly like to come back here.
