Delicious!

There were three of us (two non-veg), and we all loved what we ordered. We all had non-sushi dishes: yellow curry, peanut tofu, and broccoli beef. Rice was not included with any of these and had to be ordered separately.

We wanted separate bills but a single bill was automatically brought to us. We requested separate bills after that and this was accommodated but it was time consuming.

UPDATE: I went back again and ordered a curry. It came with different veggies from what was indicated in the menu. As I wasn't keen on a carrot and potato curry I brought this up and they were fairly slow to respond. Also you need to order rice separately.

Pros: delicious, many items on the menu

Cons: you might not get ingredients indicated in menu

Would have preferred to visit in person

We ordered from here to wind down in our hotel on the last night of vacation. The sushi pizza was awesome- so crispy and delicious. It’s fun to find a vegan sushi place with soy meats, as we don’t really have that in the south. However, I was thrown with how fishy the flavors really were! A nice surprise that I’m sure I will get used to. With it being delivered, it wasn’t as fresh as I’d like to try it next time. The sauce on the spicy broccoli was incredible, and I definitely think that the Super Crunchy would be much better fresh. I just wish there would have been more spicy options to try. Overall, very refreshing and offered new flavors!

Pros: Unique rolls to try

Cons: Expensive, Not many spicy rolls

Thank God for Tenon

The title of this review is a bit of a joke. Because the owner of Tenon restaurant chose the name as it can mean "Thank God for...". So the question is, how divine is the food at vegan sushi restaurant "Tenon"?

Before I give you my opinion, I have to state that I am used to genuine Japanese food and that I did order somewhat different food than usual. My starter was miso soup and it tastes just like miso soup as served in Japan, except for the fact that this one is vegan. The amount of tofu and seaweed is minimal, but the miso soup certainly tastes good.

After reading many positive reviews about the vegan fried duck, I ordered the "duck special". It does indeed look like meat, so before I ate I verified with the waitress once more that there is no dead animal inside. Having never eaten a dead duck, I can only say that this has an interesting taste with a crunchy outer layer and "something" soft inside.

As the duck special wasn't a very filling meal, I ordered a seaweed salad to finish the meal. It was expensive and very simple: just a big pile of seaweed and no variation at all. That's not a "seaweed salad", that's seaweed!

In conclusion: is Tenon divine? No, it is not. It is reasonably good Japanese food and reasonable prices. The thing to be truly thankful for is the fact that it's all vegan.

Pros: more than just sushi, all vegan!

Cons: medium quality ingredients

Great experience

I wasn’t very hungry, so I just ordered the Spicy Veg. Salmon Roll. It came almost immediately, and was delicious! I look forward to the next opportunity to come here.

Delicious Vegan Sushi

I had 2 friends join me for a late after 8pm dinner here and we ordered up a variety of sushi, noodle dishes and Miso soup. We thoroughly enjoyed it all.
The sweet yam tempura roll was a table favorite along with the King Mushroom tempura roll.
Mango sushi-so good!
The menu also had a number of Noodle Rice and Thai dishes.
The restaurant was clean. The staff was friendly and attentive. They had a steady business of take out orders.
Highly recommended!

Pros: Large menu with lots of tasty sushi rolls, Fast service

Amazing vegan sushi restaurant

This place does sushi and so much more! Would 100% recommend this place to anyone going to Toronto! They have vegan versions of salmon, shrimp/prawns, duck and many more! You have to get the duck! It is incredible!

Great sushi!

We were too hungry to take a picture before digging in, but it looked as good as it tasted, which is high praise! The mock salmon in particular looked so real that if this wasn’t a fully vegan place, I would’ve been concerned they switched our orders up.

If you loved non-vegan sushi, I *highly* recommend going to Tenon. We’ll be returning next time we’re in Toronto.

Pros: Great seating!, Fast and friendly service , All vegan!

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

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 :)
