Inventive Sushi!

So inventive!! Vegan sushi at it’s finest! They do use fake meats, which is such a nice change of pace from just your regular ol’ veggie roll (however they also have veggie rolls and other dishes than sushi!) 1000000% recommend if you’re in Toronto. I forgot to take photos until we were finished, but they still look so good. I think my favorite was the spicy tempura broccoli? But they were all so good!

Fun & Different (for us!)

It was so fun to be able to order from such a different menu than what we have available in my city with the amazing Asian options that Tenon offers. The menu is extensive and it was overwhelmingly exciting to choose from options that we have never been able to choose from when it comes to veg food. While it was so pretty to look at and to be able to share those pictures with omnis as inspiration, it definitely was not my favorite meal when it came to flavor or quantity from our trip to Toronto. The fried shrimp was my favorite portion of the meal, though my partner who has had shrimp said that the flavor did not compare. But that didn’t matter much to me! The sushi my partner ordered was very great and flavorful but my sushi, did not have that much flavor and was honestly a little boring. Even though we ordered an appetizer along with our meal and I ordered one of the options that came with more rolls, The meal was not as filling as what I had hoped.

Amazing vegan sushi selection

I was almost overwhelmed with the amount of choice at this place! We had the crispy avocado roll, the green dragon that everyone was raving about (I think that’s what it was called), sushi pizza and a tenon hand roll. The tenon hand roll ended up being our favourite thing there and we wished we had gotten a regular size roll of it! So good and it’s almost impossible to go wrong here.

Vegan sushi explosion !

So many choices ! I wanted to order the entire menu. I ended up choosing the vegan duck (comes with nicely prepared veggies), Tenon special roll, red dragon, green dragon, and pad Thai. I’d skip the pad Thai next time, but all the rest was delicious. Even my discerning non-vegan Chinese grandmother was impressed, especially by the duck.

Pros: An tsunami of sushi options, The dragon rolls were delicious, Bonus wontons were included with my takeout order

Cons: Need a bigger stomach to fit all the sushi

Unique dining opportunity

AFAIK the only wholly vegan sushi joint in town, though they also randomly sell Thai dishes. The prices are okay, not great or terrible. The mock items don’t list ingredients, which is kind of a miff and is a pain to ask about everything, especially when there was a bit of language barrier.

Got the red dragon and tenon special rolls for two, which wasn’t quite enough food for me (and I don’t eat a lot). They were pretty tasty, but the latter wasn’t cut properly and was also thoroughly warm. Sushi should never be warm, ever, sorry.

Pros: Several choices, Pretty tasty

Cons: Not the cheapest, Quality isn’t top

Excellent flavour and not overly seasoned!

Pros: 100pct all vegan, Great taste, emulation and selection, Great location

A large selection with some hits and some misses

After reading other reviews, I was very eager to try Tenon for the first time. Perhaps my expectations were too high, or maybe I just ate there on an evening that was not their best - I'm not sure, but I found the food lacked flavour compared with similar vegan sushi restaurants. To be clear, everything was very fresh and the portions were generous. The Soy Beef Yaki U-don was mainly a lot of noodles with very little else and utterly bland. The rolls were much better. We liked the Dynamite Roll the best and the Thai Roll a distant second. I would go back, but try different dishes next time.

Pros: Large menu, Many vegan meat alternatives, Good sized portions

Cons: Flavours were not developed for the price

Absolutely delicious!

We ordered 5 rolls, the tempura and the vegan pizza. It was a lot for two people and we ended up with lunch for the next day haha so be mindful that the rolls are bog when you order! But it was absolutely delicious and we are certainly coming back :)

Pros: All vegetarian options

Cons: Expensive

Not actually cheap, it's more like a $$$ restaurant.

They're sushi platters/combos are good, mock duck was also good. Tempura was too oily, Thai dish (peanut tofu) was too bland, that one was a definite no from me dawg. The spinach on the side was good though.

The best value is the sushi platters/combos. The portions for all the other stuff are so tiny; feels like you're getting ripped off.

- Not a good value; very small portions for the price.
- Some dishes were bland / low quality.

Pros: Good flavour on some dishes

Cons: Small portions, Some dishes are bland / low quality, Expensive

First vegan sushi in downtown TO

Love the fact we have a vegan sushi place now. Quality is pretty good but rice could be a little (just slightly) better. They are sometimes very slow with orders too but overall awesome place and I will go again.

Pros: All vegan, Vegan salmon!, Good selection

Cons: Slightly slow for takeout, Rice go be a little better.

When I miss eating sushi…

I come here.

I’ve been vegan for almost 2 years (anniversary is in November), and I hate to admit this, but I still get sushi cravings and this place satisfies them -especially the Salmon sushi? One (vegan) would think they’re eating the real one! The beef udon with veggies is pretty good too.

Cons: Doesn’t put enough salt on the edamame (lol)

Holy moly

My gluttony knows no bounds at this place. Amazing. I don’t even remember what I got. I handed them a credit card and my wildest dreams came true. I’m vegan and allergic to shellfish and this place was unreal. Please eat here.

Wow!

Ordered a party platter from here once with my girlfriend to celebrate my birthday? A new job? Don't remember. Either way, the sushi from here was fantastic and worth every penny. Shout-out to their vegan salmon - we have no idea how they made it, but it was so close to real salmon I don't know if I could guess it wasn't without knowing ahead of time!

The value per dollar doesn't seem to be the greatest - we definitely feel like we're paying a "vegan tax" over a non-vegan sushi place, so it's reserved for special occasions. However, it never disappoints on those occasions.

Pros: Incredibly accurate vegan salmon, Well-made, tasty sushi

Cons: Seems expensive compared to non-vegan places

Imagine a vegan world...

I didn't think too much about a vegan sushi restaurant before this place opened. Being middle age, I have spent a good chunk of my life making do with veg/vegan food served at restaurants that sell meat.

I've been eating sushi since the late 90s, when I was already vegan, and was always satisfied with tofu, sweet potato and avocado.

So Tenon is like entering an alternate universe where everything is vegan. They mock up all these different kinds of sushi I never got eat, and didn't even contemplate, because they had fish in them.

I randomly chose items and I wasn't disappointed. Everything looked great and tasted great. My partner was a big fish sushi eater and he was also impressed.

Pros: Great sushi, Very fast, Nice staff

Terrible 1st experience - I won't be returning

I ordered from this restaurant for the first time on NYE. I placed my order online in the afternoon via UberEats for delivery at 7:30 pm. I got a notification at 6:30 pm that the order was being prepared. About 30 minutes later I got a notification that the order had been cancelled by the restaurant. I tried calling them several times and no one answered. I left them a voice mail message and still haven't received a response. I went back to UberEats to check if the items I ordered were sold-out and they weren't. Not a good 1st experience and it messed up our NYE dinner plans. I won't be returning.

Best vegan sushi in Toronto

If you want the best vegan sushi in Toronto, you've found it. There are so many options, the staff are incredibly kind, and it really tastes like sushi! I was happy to finally have a salmon roll after years and my boyfriend got to try his very first California roll. This is an outpost of Tenon Vegetarian Cuisine in Richmond Hill.

Pros: So many choices, both sushi and non sushi, Kind service
