SAKU (sushi & taco)

Come for the vibes and price point. They are bringing back price from 10 yrs ago. $14 special rolls and $6 tacos is a steal for this day and age. Its so expensive to eat out. Not the best sushi. Rice is mushy and no vinegar. I ve been here twice and both time were consistent that way. Tacos are good. Great presentation.

I enjoyed the food, especially the kimchi beef roll. The portion was huge and each bite was delicious. The food presentation was on point and their happy hour menu is great for trying their top 10 cocktails. Environment was nice and you probably don’t need a reservation for small groups. Amazing place to grab food and drinks with friends.

This was our first visit to this bar. We ordered the fish sushi, which had a nice texture and felt very fresh, with flavors blending well, though the rice didn’t seem to have vinegar added. The tofu taco and lobster taco were also fantastic. Additionally, the atmosphere in the restaurant provided a sense of privacy, making it comfortable and relaxing.

Stopped by here because our intended reservation had a waitlist. We ended up having a few drinks and dinner here since the menu was intriguing and the bartender was extremely friendly. It was a good experience because all the food was quickly prepared and the drinks were delicious. We started off with the takoyaki and a sake flight. Takoyaki had a good chewy texture and was the perfect temperature. The sake flight came with a decent selection of junmai, shochu and nigori. After trying both, we then decided to stay and order more food for dinner. Their aburi sushi was beautifully presented. Every sushi was very flavourful and well torched. Their rice grains are more al dente but work well with the seasoning and texture of the fish. The dish was not too expensive for 10 pcs ($22). We also tried the chipotle karaage. It was a bit softer than expected due to the sauce but still a decent portion. However, I think the drinks and sushi were the highlights of our dinner with Saku. We would not hesitate to return here again for the great selection of drinks and friendly service!

Had a delicious late dinner at Saku this weekend, and it did not disappoint! This month they’re doing a 10th anniversary special where they have $14 rolls and $6 tacos (+$2 for lobster). They also have seasonal specials and an extensive happy hour menu with different food specials and $10 cocktails! We got a bit of everything and although everything tasted great, I’d say the highlight of my experience was the lobster roll. The lychee sangria was also super tasty, definitely getting both those items again. The waitresses were super friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend this spot, especially as a spot for food and drinks before a night out!

Popped by during their happy hour (9pm-close) on a Friday night! Was pleasantly amazed at the fusion of Japanese and Mexican cuisine. We ordered 4 different specialty tacos (beef bulgogi, shrimps, kaarage and lobster). The lobster was delicious! Their newest menu, birria taco, was also to die for. We also tried the blushing dragon and lychee sangria cocktail 🍸. Poseidon and Saku specialty rolls were also amazingly presented and delicious. Can't forget the Saku ceviche and truffle fries! They were fantastic. Our server, Sharon, was very attentive and charming. What a great place to kick back and relax on a gloomy, rainy Toronto night! Will definitely come back. 💜

Great take on Japanese fusion. Affordable prices given the quality. Friendly staff and quick service. Would definitely come back again. Make sure you don't save the wasabi marinated octopus for last... it packs a punch. But easy to fix that with one of their great cocktails which are also high quality and well priced.

One of the best restaurants on this strip of queen west! Delicious sushi, classic izakaya offerings, unique fusion, and inventative dishes. Saku provides a wide range of menu items, specializing in sushi and tacos but also offering much more. Everything we've tried here has been delicious and price is reasonable considering the quality and care put into preparation. I love coming here for their happy hour which is one of my favorites in the city, and it happens every day from 9 to close. Service is friendly and the vibe is intimate yet lively, so great to come in a date or with friends. Highly, highly recommend!

Found my new favorite Sushi hangout (and bar). Saku has a nice atmosphere and when happy hour hits, they dim the lights further and bring out the happy hour menus. The interior space is nice a cozy and they decorated the exposed industrial look of the place with artificial foliage gives it a nice forest-y feel. They play muted TV shows and movies via projector nearer to the back of the restaurant. We saw Howl's Moving Castle and a bit of Friends. There is booth, bench, 2s/4s table, bar seating, and other configurations. Looks like they can seat about 40+ or so. The staff were attentive and friendly. Many patrons were there for a long time just enjoying the place and company. We had the following: - 3 pcs Baja Fish Taco (soft) - Salmon Avo Oshi Zushi - Truffle Fries - Tokyo Rose (drink) The portions were great with lots of protein and/or fillings/toppings. The Baja was well balanced and well seasoned, it came together very well. The Salmon Avo was was packed with lots of ingredients and was filling. Having had a tour of the truffle fries at different Toronto establishments, these were not overpowering and had the right amount (imo) of truffle oil and was cripsy. The drinks on the menu were all interesting and the Tokyo Rose was sweet and smooth. It looks like most of their cocktails are on the sweet side. Will be back to try their hot/cold Sake, Unagi Avo Oshi Zushi, and Saku roll.

This is my friend's and my go to place for late night drinks and eats. The vibes are chill and the staff give you the space to catch up with friends. Food is good. Solid sushi and surprisingly decent tacos too for a sushi place. The drinks are all really taste (though on the sweeter side if that's your taste). My go to is always their oshi sushi, but they have a variety of rolls and appetizers. They also have a really decently priced happy hour menu later in the evening.

I love how Saku is conveniently located in Queen West where you get to have a delicious after a full day of shopping or just city strolls They're sister resto to the Haam which means you can have some of the best sushi & tacos My favorite tacos are the bulgogi and shrimp They also offer a wide range of cocktails The service is tentative and fast The restaurant can get quite busy on weekends so make sure you make reservation ahead of the time.

Came here last night & we are absolutely OBSESSED! We just happened to be having cocktails next door and were feeling hungry so good thing this place was right next door. We liked the aesthetics so decided to sit down for a bite to eat. We were first seated at a table in the back but the whole entire table was shaking??? We asked our server for another table and they brought us to a booth :) We both got drinks on the happy hour menu... I ordered the lychee sangria and it was scrumdillyumptious!!!!! My boyfriend got the old fashioned & he rated it a solid 7 outta 10. For food we asked our server what was best. To be honest I'm not even sure what we ordered but everything was so good, we left NO CRUMBS. We started with the pork gyoza and the sauce it came it was delicious. The crispy tuna was my favorite. All in all... a great late night spot to go to. Would highly recommend going here. The drinks & food were amazing. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We left with big smiles on our faces!

This sushi restaurant is about average. The sashimi is quite fresh, but I wouldn't really recommend the drinks. 呢間壽司店都算中規中矩，刺身嚟講都算好fresh嘅，但係啲飲品我就唔太推薦。

What a great spot! My friend and I were long overdue for a catchup and went to Saku for dinner. There were so many fun drinks to try on their cocktail menu. I went for the Yuzu Totoro and it had such a nice, balanced flavour! For starters, we got the Takowasabi. I was surprised it came with tortilla chips alongside the regular seaweed that I'm used to, but it worked! Then for mains, we shared the Chef Special Aburi Sushi, and because we were at a sushi + taco bar.. we had got our own tacos. We loved the Aburi Sushi! Each fish was so fresh and tasty, I could have had another 10 pieces. My friend got the crispy shell Camaron (Shrimp) while I got the soft shell Soy Garlic Tinga (Chicken). There was so much chicken in mine, I had to eat some of it first before I could properly hold it like a taco. If you get a soft shell, I highly recommend eating it promptly once it is served because we were talking for so long, the sauce soaked the shell and it crumbled in my hand. Oops! I'll definitely be back to try some of the other menu items! There were so many interesting options. Aside from food, our service was great. They were always checking in to make sure we had water for the table, and were happy to share recommendations. The restaurant itself was clean and I liked the decorations. When I first walked in, there was a strong perfume smell but luckily that faded quickly. I'll be back!

Holy shit this is the best food I've ever had. Loved it. Eat here you will not regret it.

WOW i'm impressed! The Summerlicous menu is so good!!! I'm so happy with the results of the food and how it tasted. Here are mine and my friend's rating of the food. STARTER: 6.5,7,6,6 APPETIZER: 7,7,8,7.5 MAIN: 9,5,7,8 DESSERT: 9,9,9,8 The service was also great and there were atleast 2 servers which was amazing and I never had an empty water glass! The setting was perfect for a sushi night, and the playlist was so well made. The lights suddenly darkened which was a bit scary but the rest was really cool and i enjoyed it there. Overall: I would totally go again! also happy hour is at 9pm and 4:30-5:30pm. Make sure to go for that and summerlicious. The only problem is the minor inconveniences like the sushi sticking to the paper and the large chopsticks. The lobster taco was dry, and there were flies in the bathroom with only one stall as well. I would go back because the portions are great and the food tasted amazing.

This is one of my top restaurants in Toronto now! I didn't accept it like it so much but It's definitely living up to the hype. It's a cute restaurant downtown with nice ambience. That has a combination of Japanese Mexican food that is really delicious. The appetizers were super tasty And we're super cute and small. We also got the volcanoe and shrimp tempura roll. The best thing we got while beef bulgogi tacos A great combination of mexican japanese culture mixing. These were super crispy with the Tortilla fried and really delicious full toppings like lettuce, tomato and onions as well as the really flavorful beef. The beef in the tacos was really delicious . I would just come back for those alone!! If you could get one thing, I would definitely recommend the tacos.

Right now they have a takeout deal for 30% off their special platters and that's a deal we couldn't resist! We got platter M2 and were very happy with it. The sushi was great and we really liked all three rolls. The Salmon Avocado rolls were packed with a lot more salmon and avocado than we'd get at most places so that was a very pleasant surprise. The Atlantic Queen roll and Spicy Salmon roll were both super flavourful as well. From the three tacos we tried the Shrimp was definitely our favourite. They were very well seasoned and the toppings complimented the flavour well. I was so excited for the Bulgogi taco, and although the beef was delicious there was way too much Queso Fresco that overwhelmed the taste. The fish tacos were pretty good but nothing too amazing. We hope to be back sometime, especially if they still have the 30% platters takeout deal. When we picked up our food the interior looked really nice so we may be tempted to dine in next time as well!

I did not love the food service. Upon entering, the waitress did not seem friendly. I thought it was me but my husband agreed as well. Food was okay. I don't like sushi that is heavily sauced salty. The pressed sushi had a mushy texture as well. There were three waitresses on staff and they completely ignored a couple for five minutes waiting to be seated. The couple left after a waitress passed by them and didn't even acknowledged their existence. I will not dine there again. If you really want great tasting sushi, go to Ju Sushi.

Amazing food and amazing prices. Definitely will come back!!! The lobster roll was super good

We had a lovely time; the food and drinks were top-notch, which certainly has us wanting to return. The only downside was the restaurant's temperature being uncomfortably hot and humid. Aside from that, everything was exceptional. Our food arrived swiftly following our drinks, and everything was served simultaneously. Impressively, we managed to secure a table immediately, even on a busy Saturday night.

Food is so filling, service was quick and the ambience is a vibe! Me and my boo went for the 9pm happy hour and it was amazing, this was our second time.

The vibes at this place are fire! Such a nice atmosphere for a weekday date night. There was no wait for a table on a weekday night so we were seated promptly. The rolls here are super unique and our favourite was the Atlantic queen roll (with salmon) which was full of char flavour from the torched salmon at the top. The soft shell crab taco was full of flavour as well, will definitely come to try the other tacos next time.

They serve great sushi and great tacos (for Canada ! The sushi combo A is a beautifully plated and generous sushi plate. The sushi were all tasty and the spicy salmon roll was good. The roll was plentiful and not too spicy, so perfect for me. The bulgogi taco has a ton of juicy bits of beef. It aAlso tastes great. My only criticism is the cheese in the bottom of the taco below the meat gave it a strange texture. I think they should remove the cheese below the beef. Next time I'll try the chicken tinga taco. The crispy taco was also well made. A real fried tortilla shell, not a typical store bought taco shell as most Canadian places use . I'm from California so I know tacos. I recommend Saku, or maybe should be spelled Sacu (sushi/taco).

Sushi and drinks in one place! Don't miss out on this modern, chill vibe Japanese restaurant! Thank you for the staff's recommendation! We tried all of their popular dishes and absolutely loved their bulgogi taco. The beef filling was generous, and the sauce was a perfect match. We also enjoyed their rolls, which tasted fresh and delicious. Personally, I like the saku roll, which includes scallops, tuna, avocado, fish eggs, coriander, and jalapeno - it was mouthwatering! And let's not forget their Tokyo Rose cocktail, which is mixed with sake. It has a great fruity taste and is easy to drink.

Got delivery, and they did a great job with allergens. I went in person ages ago and remembered it tastier, but I actually ate there, so probably better to have it fresh (esp seared and taco plates). Would def recommend as a playful sushi meal. Not for purists.

Service was attentive and welcoming, food was fresh and creative and my cocktail was delicious. A fun spot to grab drinks with friends.

The vibes of the place was really nice . The severs were pretty quick with our orders .. We ordered 3 kinds of sushi and the prawn tacos , but more than the sushi's , I loved the ceviche and the salmon salads. It was fresh and delicious . I recommend the salads for sure . Lunch time was not crowded but the place is small so I think you need to reserve .

Went on a busy Saturday night and still had great service. Food came out quickly and the portions were generous for two. The highlight was the salmon tataki, which was a nice contrast to the fried takoyaki. Also, the assorted tempura was much bigger than we expected! Our server gave us some great recommendations. We'll be back!

Came here in February, we ordered: Beef Carpaccio Scallop Ceviche Salmon Avocado Pressed Sushi Beef Pressed Sushi The beef Carpaccio and Scallop ceviche were pur favourites! Loved all the flavours and toppings for both. Both the Pressed Sushi was good but nothing special about them. Would come back to try more of the menu! Wish we were hungrier so we could have ordered more, everything we saw going to other tables looked really good!

A good, intimate place - dim but well lit so I can still see my guests, haha. Tasted both the tacos and the sushi and it was appetizing! The mocktail drinks were all so delicious too. Our server also took care of us very well. :)

Summerlicious ends Sunday, Jul 23, definitely don't miss out! When I booked Saku, the menu looked oddly familiar but I didn't recognize the connection to The Haam. It has the same great food and lively atmosphere. It's a little less busy during late lunch hour, but there were a couple tables and service was still great. Appetizers are beautifully plated and yummy, the yuzu salsa was a really nice touch to seared sashimi. This time instead of tacos and rolls, I tried the sushi, sashimi and futomaki, which was good in variety and freshness, but missing the wow factor like my experience at The Haam. But definitely not to the chef's fault, cause they still have rolls and taco on the menu, and the Shrimp Taco packs a punch!

This place is sentimental to me. I had my first date with my husband here and the food was delicious back then as it is now. It's a solid sushi restaurant that serves great quality sushi, sashimi, and rolls. We took our cousins here when they visited from California.

First of all awesome service. The waitresses here are so nice - they even checked the song that I liked on their playlist and wrote me down the name. Secondly, great food. Loved their torched sushi and the Korean style chicken karaage (sweet and sour). The drink was nice too though a bit of too sweet. Didn't know that there are good sushi places on Queen West too.

Great Summerlicious 2023 value! Oreo churros were amazing. Also - I accidentally left my wallet there when I dined there and the staff were amazing. Took care to answer my emails and kept my wallet safe until I came to get it. The food, ambience was great - it was an accidental Queen West find for me - glad we found it and WILL be back!

We ordered "Chef Special Sushi" for $31 and had absolutely no regrets. Every single piece was delicious. I can't wait to go back to Saku Sushi to have some more of their sushi. I'm very picky about sushi restaurants, for most of them are mediocre in quality at best, but this one is definitely above average.

Cute place that reminds me of Hamm! The environment is great. Great for group/friend gathering. They have specials for each day of the week. We'd/thurs is $3 off cocktails. We had the Tokyo rose and Hawaiian breeze - both really good!

I got too excited and forgot to take a picture of the menu or the food before I started digging in so obviously the sushi was good decor has very cool vibes and staff was super nice as well! I got the B option on the lunch menu ($17) which had 10 PCs sashimi and a spicy salmon roll. It was supposed to come with miso soup and a salad but we got scammed but I'll forgive them because their sushi was fire. All the sushi was very well made. A bit pricey but nothing crazy for the quality of sushi. Will definitely come again for their sushi! loved it.

Went for a birthday party. A nice place, but it is very expensive for the portions you get (it's like a tapas size portion for the price of a full portion). The tacos were pretty good, but underwhelming with the size. The one item that was probably worth the price was the karaage chicken. If you choose to go here, keep in mind your budget, and it may be a good idea to have a snack before you go.

Came here on a week night, and it was not super busy, so was able to walk-in with no wait for a table. I have been here pre-pandemic and found that post-pandemic the service and food were just as good as I remember. The menu and selection of fish changes with season but the fish is extremely fresh. I their specialty rolls are large and filling, with great flavour combinations.

I used to frequent saku often Prepandemic. The aesthetics of the restaurant was very pretty, low lights dinner vibe, can be quite romantic. The food was always plated so nice as well. The food was delicious and fresh as well. However I got take out recently and was disappointed. The nigiri and maki tasted a bit too fishy as in not fresh. It was ok taste for the price. Perhaps the experience is different in person.

it's been years since I've last been to Saku - especially with the pandemic. walking down queen street, i noticed a lot of the old places have now closed because of the pandemic but i'm so glad saku sushi is still here! still chic as always where the ambiance is great for a celebration, just meeting up, or a date. still one of the solid sushi places in toronto that you can't go wrong with. prices are fair for the quality. we got a large hot sake to share and the aburi sampler. it was delicious and quality has not gone down. honestly had forgotten about it for a while since i have also not been out in some time but it was nice to come back to a nostalgic place

My friends and I decided to have a relaxing evening at Saku as this place is one of my friend's favourite sushi place! The place is cozy and cool. The lighting was a bit dim to give a relaxing vibe. The service was friendly and attentive. During our dinner, our waitress checked in on us a few times to check that we were having a good meal and drinks. As Covid is still here, there isn't any physical copy of the menu. To access it, you need to use your QR code scanner app to scan the QR code found at your table. We ordered three different special sushi rolls and two bottles of hot sake. The portion size of each of the sushi rolls were big and the fillings were ample (yum!). The hot sake was great as well. It was a lovely way to enjoy a cold winter evening. My friends drank most of the hot sake and they said that they loved every sip! We didn't have any room for dessert, so that'll be for next time!

Saku is one of my go tos if I'm looking for fancier sushi but at a reasonable price. They have an extensive menu including special rolls, torched & pressed sushi, a selection of combos and lunch specials! I ordered through Ubereats for my latest visit. Decided to order the assorted aburi sushi, saku roll, and lion king roll (all of which I've ordered before and loved). The aburi sushi was great as always. Unfortunately this time I was quite disappointed with the rolls. The Saku roll was very mushy & had no flavours. I really hope this is just a one-time miss & their quality goes back to how it used to be.

The Oshi-sushi is the best part of the experience. The menu has been parsed down and now does not include any basic rolls in order to supplement the special rolls. The service is rushed and cold hearted. It makes you feel like you're only there to give them your money.

I think this is the place that could replace Sushi Couture in my heart. Great sake. Great rolls. Great vibe. It could be the spot.

Heard great things about their aburi sushi set and had to try it! Came here with my friend who is vegetarian. I ordered the aburi sushi set, my friend got the vegetable Gyoza, yam and avocado rolls and Peter Pan rolls. The set was incredible, the sushi were perfectly torched and the sauces were an amazing complement to the Individual pieces. I tried my friends sushi as well, the Peter Pan roll was excellent. It was great to find a place with more vegetarian options than cucumber and avocado rolls. I would highly recommend this place :))

Saku is available on Uber with pickup option so we recently took advantage of that feature. Ordered Boat N with 15 pieces of sashimi, 25 pieces of sushi, Lion King roll and Green Dragon roll. Freshest pieces you'll ever have. Saku has never disappointed.

All the sushi and sashimi are super fresh. They have the best aburi (blow-torched sushi) and rice bowls in the city (perfect rice - good to eat even on its own, they don't skimp on the protein toppings, and delicious taste). Great variety of don buri bowls: Fresh Uni & Salmon (with ikura / salmon roe), Holy Crab Dolsot, Unagi, Salmon & Avocado, etc. As for appetizers, the Spinach Gomae and Eggplant Miso are great for getting your veggies in. Their sushi rolls are quite big and equally tasty. The ambience is a bit dark, modern, and hipster with great music in the background. Perfect for an evening out with friends. The place tends to be packed on weekday evenings and weekends, so it's best to come early or make a reservation.

Love this place! I have tried their Fried chicken, Aburi platter, and sushi rolls! Their food is alway fresh and love their green tea too There is parking Behind the restaurant so it is a convenient location.

The food and vibe are really nice. We tried the sushi taco, dolsot, and special roll, and they were all delicious. My friend and I really enjoyed dinner here, and the basement mirror is very aesthetic too lol

Their sushi honestly is mediocre, what I would say is a plus about Saku Sushi is their daily bar specials that are incredibly affordable to grab some drinks with friends! The ambience inside is very dimmed and relaxed! but overall their sushi is a little too pricey.

Disappointed in this place. It used to be one of my go-tos a year or so back. I wanted to retry this place as I was looking for good sushi in the city. However, the sushi was not as fresh nor good as I have remembered it. And honestly- the price was way too expensive for what we got. Should have gone to Miku instead for the price.

TAKE ME BACK!! Such amazing food that is hasn't left my mind since it hit my tongue! Everything was the perfect combination of flavours I'm having a hard time making proper sentences it was so good! Strongly recommend! Oh and get their fried chicken in gochujang sauce. That was to die for!!! Unfortunately I did not get a photo.

Had a lovely dinner with family on a Sunday evening. We made reservations since it gets busy and was promptly seated the moment we walked in the door. We ordered a bunch of items for the table and everything was fresh, delicious and well balanced in flavour. The sashimi was so fresh and sweet. My favourite roll of the night was tied between the island roll and the volcano roll. The island roll has a thin layer of dried yam on top which gave a sweet and crunchy element but did not overwhelm the taste of the scallops. The volcano roll was fun, with crispy potato bits on top that lent a crunch factor to the roll but at the same time was so well balanced in flavour that even the spicy salmon didn't overwhelm everything. The price is on the more pricey side (a roll is easily $15) but there is real quality and thought in each dish.

I came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was not busy at all. This is a restaurant that, unless you are looking for it, you may completely miss it. The name Saku Sushi doesn't hit your eyes. What made me stop was the Sake specials they had that made me wonder what the restaurant was. I was not disappointed when i walked in. Clean, roomy, and a wonderful ambiance. We were seated immediately and were brought water to start. The menu has lots of variety, from apps to rolls, rice bowls and bento boxes. We ordered the premium sashimi platter, Atlantic Queen and the Lobster roll. The food came quite quickly which was wonderful and the flavours were explosive. Premium Sashimi Platter: Organic salmon, Uni, Scallop and Sweet Shrimp. The salmon was cut a little thick for my taste, but still very fresh. Uni was good, not the best I've ever had, but still very satisfying. The scallops and shrimp had a certain sweetness to them that were to DIE FOR. Absolutely delicious. Atlantic Queen: Torched salmon on top, the sauce was beautifully paired on top. It was a bite to eat and very satisfying. Lobster Roll: Thick chunks of lobster fried, throughout the roll. It is definitely a mouthful. But just enough rice to keep everything together. All the ingredients in the rolls were fresh. Delicious. The prices were decent, average I would say. The service was wonderful. The waitresses were sweet and would come by to make sure that everything was good a few times during our meal. They cleared plates as needed and kept watch for when we needed more water without us requesting it. I would hands down come back here again. Wonderful food.
