A must try sushi spot. We ordered 2 tasting boxes ($25.99 each). It was amazing, we were stuffed and will be back for more in the future. Highly recommend. The food was delicious and very flavourful. I was so impressed that every detail is / was carefully thought out from the sushi, to the custom card stock bento box, to even the utensils package (it contains a pair of gloves so you can eat sushi the traditional method)! Each sushi piece has unique flavours packed into it. I also loved that the sesame salad (red part) is spicy, this gives it the perfect kit. Important notes for the North York location: - the entrance is on the LEFT (see photo) - torched sushi should be eaten within 15-30 mins max. If you’re doing takeout either eat it in the car or eat inside - there is *open shared seating* available as it is location in a place with shared venues (think mini food court but with only 4-5 shops)

This place is so good for torched sushi! I love it! I always get the all sampler pack because I don’t know which one to choose and I just wanna eat them all! I highly recommend this place if you’re in the area! Everything is torched just right and the sauce is soooo good! My ultimate favourite though is the scallop :) !

We had an amazing dinner with blissful taste and cannot resist to go to Google review to share the feeling. Everything is so delicate and delicious and all combine into an excellent dining experience. This is a high-class sushi vendor that you will give you an explosion of flavors with each bite and a feeling of the top-notch quality ingredients. Everything is perfect, even the mustard is amazing and push the dish to another level. Put the sushi with a bit of mustard, ginger and soy sauce on your tongue and slowly chew, all of your senses will awake make you feel so instantly happy. The Spicy Salmon Bowl is also unforgettable. The price is actually fair with such quality and level. The best sushi restaurant in GTA. Highly recommended.

Scored this amazing bento at just 19 CAD (tax included). Today's special features mouthwatering thick-cut salmon drizzled with unagi sauce. Accompanied by butterfish, our signature spicy sauce, fried shrimp, surimi, and tobiko. A delectable feast that won't disappoint! #FoodieDelights #BentoLove

One of the best sushi we ever had, and we ate a ton of sushi all the way from Vancouver to here. The sushi was torched just right to retain all the sweetness, soft and tasty. The flavours are rich, bold and have many layers, it absorbs into your tongue and the scent stay there even after you finished the meal. We love the rice as well, so sweet and wholesome. The service was professional at take out, when we came in everything was already ready and swift. We know a lot reviews say it’s expensive and the size is not big enough and indeed it is, but this is fresh and superb ingredients and the taste is so outstanding. We think it’s unfair to ask the restaurant to keep the price low with such premium quality.

Really enjoyed my spicy salmon bowl! Nice presentation of the bowl and quick service. I noticed that it’s their daily special on Mondays and Wednesdays - would come back on those days. Tip, bring cash for 5% off!

Elegance in a box. Sushi was absolutely delicious, and the presentation was bar none. I ordered takeout and didn't know what to expect as far as quality would go, but it was definitely delicious and great to have in person or order.

Great blowtorched sushi, bursting with umami flavour. It's pricey for what you get, but it's very delicious and presentation is good, takeout packaging mostly green friendly.

We ordered a set combo and after we had gone home and ate the food we realized one of the items was missing. The receipt itself wasn’t itemized either so we were worried whether or not they would remember us or acknowledge the missing item. I gave them a call and they immediately remembered and apologized. They offered for us to pick up the missed item but we couldn’t make it that day. We went the next day and called ahead as they had requested, they remembered. When we went to pick it up they also threw in a free matcha cheesecake for the trouble. It was unexpected and a nice surprise. The food itself is really good also, I love the packaging that made it easy to transport and enjoy the food out of.

Great sushi. This is my wife and daughter's favorite place for takeout. The staff is also really pleasant. Curtis always delivers service with a smile.

Really this place is just absolutely amazing. Food was great, service was great. Went here for my wife's birthday and they gave us some treats! Food was amazing. Highly recommend. Did I mention the torched sushi was amazing here 🙂

A bit difficult to find the place as it’s tucked away in the corner of the upper east food club. Got the Salmon Lover and the Tasting Box bentos. Both were packed very nicely, love the presentation however we ordered this as takeout and they did not provide us with any utensils. Torched sushi was delicious but it is really expensive and some of the rice was not put together tightly enough so it was falling apart while being picked up. The hand rolls were tasty but difficult at first to figure out how to get it out of the wrapper. The “spicy salmon bowl” in the salmon lover was our least favourite. Tasted very plain. Overall, good place to try but not that worth it for the price in my opinion.

This has got to be my favourite torched sushi place. Ive been here twice already and each time I’ve tried something different and enjoyed it! I had the surf and turf poke bowl, tasting bento box, and the salmon lovers bento box. Loved ittt! Was a little pricey but the flavours were delicious. If it’s your first time I’d suggest the tasting box, it’s just perfection. And to my surprise it’s actually quite filling because they give you additional and rolls too. Also… this area has a cute little umbrella patio outside and they allow dogs inside!! And for that I’ll give it 5 stars ⭐️!

Had an amazing dinner experience at TORCH’s North York location. It’s nestled away in the back of the Upper East Food Club, a food hall of different Asian eateries. It’s a fast casual dining experience where you order at the counter and they bring out the food to you in disposable ware. I got their tasting box combo, which comes with an assortment of their aburi sushi, seaweed salad, edamame, lobster and toro hand rolls, matcha cheesecake, and a soft drink or miso soup. This combo is incredibly good value, portions were large and it was very filling. The quality of both the aburi sushi and hand rolls was top-notch, with ample portions of the assorted fish/seafood. One common complaint about aburi sushi is that it falls apart easily when not made well, that wasn’t an issue here! Definitely recommend this spot for their namesake dish!

This is a review for delivery Their tasting box is our go-to order holding 8 pieces of aburi sushi, two maki rolls (lobster salad and tuna), a healthy handful of edamame, and seaweed salad. What arrives with the aburi can vary but you’ll always find a piece of their spicy salmon that incorporates not only a jalapeno slice but also spicy sauce and black pepper to really create a punch. It’s so loved by my husband that we generally get an extra order of two pieces ($4.45) to add to the meal. A couple of my other favourite bites is the zesty shrimp that contains a hint of lemon, which nicely balances the rich mayo base of everything else. The marinated saba is a stronger tasting fish and is usually slightly thicker than the rest so it’s a piece where you can really taste the protein and not just the rice and sauces. Overall, Torch’s seafood is sliced thinner than some other places so if you like a meaty bite, it could be a disappointment. Yet, the thinner fish is also reflected in their lower price point and there’s enough of it to add to the taste. Ingeniously, their hand rolls arrive with the nori separated from the rice by a plastic wrapper, a great way to save them for lunch the next day – something that always happens in our household as we tend to over order. The toro or tuna belly roll is bland and doesn’t include much of the green onion or tobiko that’s described on the menu. So, you’ll want to rely on the limited soy sauce (how do they give such a small package for so much food?) to use on this item. Or if you happen to order an appetizer that has the spicy mayo given, then save some to jazz up the toro. The lobster roll is much better as it’s tossed in a tangy mayo that provides some flavour. You can’t really decern the lobster from any other seafood, but of the two maki this is the clear favourite. We’ve generally ordered from Torch through Uber where they offer a complimentary seafood basket ($5.99) deal. The crispy tempura battered seafood trio consists of squid tentacles (fairly tasty), shrimp (overly battered so you can’t really taste the shrimp), and aji or Japanese mackerel (very good and the best piece of the bunch). A great add-on, if only for the chipotle mayo that can be used on the toro roll.

Great little take out joint offering a good variety of pressed sushi. When it comes in a set though, it can be hard to distinguish between a couple of them. Other than though, all the pieces were yummy. The Wagyu beef bowl was also quite delicious. Seating is fairly limited.

Love all the bentos here! Great service, fresh ingredients and very nice takeout experience! Would highly recommend this to anyone who loves sushi :)

Ordered tasting box and spicy lover. It's pretty good. There is no need to wait for a long time. U can dine in or take out. There are some sitting areas. It's pretty good on average :)

My first time coming here, place looks really cozy and fun. They have unique menu offerings and surprisingly affordable. The bentos are very nicely presented and looks delicious. Very portable too for on-the-run eats.

I was craving hand rolls because I was recently missing the ones I had back in New York. I was scouring the internet to find them somewhere in Toronto and landed on this place. I didn’t really know what to expect because I didn’t do any prior research but I did see that the reviews were well received. The spot is very convenient if you want to pick up anything other than sushi. There’s a lot of little dessert shops as well as a Korean photo booth inside. As for the hand rolls, they were amazing! Me and my boyfriend also tried the tasting box as well and the presentation was beautiful! The only reason why I’m giving it 4 stars is because I thought the prices were a bit expensive for what you get. Otherwise the oshis had unique flavours I haven’t seen before and were very tasty.

Torch is located in UpperEast plaza. Inside the plaza there has 3 - 5 restaurants and bubble tea. There has shear table for every shop like cafeteria. There has photo booth as well. I recommend testing box because in the box they provide all type of sushi and 2 hand rolls. It was very good. The cashier gave me a good recommended.

Interesting choices. I liked the food presentation. Tasty food - I ordered the spicy crab hand roll and the Fantastic 4 torch pressed sushi. I would also like to try some of the other options next time.

Really cute spot with lots of little vendors around! The bento was great because you get a little taste of everything. The sushi was buttery and melted in my mouth! The otoro hand roll was also really great! Definitely a great spot for pressed sushi!

I love their torch sushi and wagyu beef. Ordered so many times. Never disappointed me.

Ordered salmon lover and mix8 for delivery. The packaging is on point. Aburi sushi was yummy and fish is fresh but not as flavourful as Miku. Overall a good substitute for when I'm craving Miku or Tora.

Great place for torched pressed sushi. They have set meal boxes so you can try them all. Service is quick and friendly, but not alot of place to sit because it's inside the shared space. Food is great!

It's difficult and a bit confusing to get there. The restaurant is inside another business/food court. Good and fast service. Taste is good, too. I tired the 8 mix pressed sushi.

My favorite sushi! Each one is beautiful and so tasteful. The quality is fantastic.

Torch pressed Sushi is our no brainer go to place when we really want to enjoy delicious and super quality food. What I love about this place is that even their take away food is a peace of art. Whatever they cook or prepare they try to do it visually appealing, delicious and healthy. Thanks Torch Team <3

Sushi was pretty expensive for tasting pretty mid. Service was good and they seemed very nice but I just wasn’t super impressed with the amount and taste for the cost. Also took us a few minutes to figure out how to get into the building, as it’s entrance is through another place.

The food here was very good. A little pricy, but tasty and fresh.

One of the best torch sushi around for the money

Ordered the Salmon Lover combo, Mix 8 combo and a Tasting box for my cousin's birthday dinner! Combos come with miso soup and matcha cheesecake. (Drinks not included) Very decent portions for the price and all flavors were great! I love how you get to wrap the rolls yourself from the tasting box so the nori is crispy when you eat it and the matcha cheesecake is the best I've had! Both creamy and rich at the same time.

My go to spot for sushi!! Absolutely LOVE this place. Their torched press sushi is perfectly made and presented every single time. The Wagyu Surf and Turf bowl is oh soo yummy!!! Just fyi - its more of a Take Out spot… The store shares a space with about 3 other restaurants/dessert places resembling a cute hang out cafe. Street parking is available - if you’re lucky! I highly recommend, it will definitely satisfy your sushi cravings!

Following social media highly recommendation, here I came. Tried the sushi tasting box, torch press sushi are top-notch, anything you can say is perfect, the presence, flavor, ingredients freshness are just fabulous. But the roll sushi is quite a bit greasy inside with the ingredients I can’t say. Luckily there are two roll sushi separately. Especially love the packaging of roll sushi, read the instructions and you’ll finally make a roll with crispy nori/seaweed. To be honest, a crispy nori really matters for a sushi. We also ordered the fried chicken curry rice and tempura curry rice. Amount of rice is too much small for an adult, curry and rice they are equally the same in volume. And they don’t provide rice refilling, which I can’t agree with. Anyway, food is great from various aspects.

Wow such a small cute space. Food and service are definitely worth the money. But if picky, I’d suggest the place starts to wash their edamame a bit better. Ps. If you don’t like spicy, make sure to clarify that when ordering!! Spicy salmon is rlly spicy!!

A must try sushi spot in Upper East Northyork location. Food was great. So delicious and very flavourful. Everything here was so detail from each sushi to packaging. The price is a little bit high but actually it fair with such quality. Service and the atmosphere here was so nice. Staff here also very friendly and helpful. Thank you so much for giving me such a amazing experience
