my favourite restaurant in the world. - Edit
Toronto has a lot of vegan restaurants and also a lot of non-vegan restaurants with surprisingly good vegan menus - but no one can replace tenon.
Read moreTenon has a huge variety of sushis, I've been here so much, ordered takeout so much, that I won't bore you with the details, but if you like sushi, you will like this place. Which sushi one prefers is probably a matter of personal taste but everything is always served with consistent thought and quality - at both locations in Toronto (though I frequent downtown location more). I have never had a single thing here that wasn't done well.
The sushi is not "authentic" in the sense that well, most japanese places won't have so many types of vegan sushi. So they do apply their own interpretation to the cuisine, but it is very delicious.
The prices are also unbelievably good for so much creativity.
Pros: Great extensive menu., Many vegan sushi options., Accessible prices for quality and quantity of food

Would choose differently - Edit
I wasn’t particularly impressed by the flavour of the soy crab or prawn but they were prepared and cooked well. Presentation was nice and tea was offered when sitting in. The fish alternatives that I was curious about lacked flavour so I would recommend sticking to the vegetable based dishes! Asparagus Maki etc. Quite a few delivery drivers come through the door so this seems like more of a takeaway kind of place.
Read morePros: Options , Range of Prices, Free Tea
Cons: Fish Alternatives

Delicious! - Edit
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.
Read moreWe 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.

Would have preferred to visit in person - Edit
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!

Thank God for Tenon - Edit
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"?
Read moreBefore 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

Delicious Vegan Sushi - Edit
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.
Read moreThe 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

Great sushi! - Edit
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.
Read moreIf 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! - Edit
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!) - Edit
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 - Edit
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 ! - Edit
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.
Read morePros: 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 - Edit
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.
Read moreGot 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

Just fyi, the special roll is supposed to be warm.
