   Decent sushi without having to leave our hotel! They advertise it as "city views" since it's on the top floor but the view isn't that stunning, it's mostly all the surrounding commercial buildings in the outskirts of Toronto. The service was really good, our server was so sweet to us and our daughter and took special care to make her a set of kid friendly chopsticks. We all enjoyed our dinner- very nice sushi rolls.

   Warning: Sagano no longer offers the Ranzan 5-course dinner with sake pairings although when you Google "Sagano Japanese Restaurant Menu", you will believe that this is still on the menu. The raw fish is room temperature and not chilled. The quality is similar to or less than many plaza sushi restaurants but for a much greater price. The only redeeming factor is the service provided by the maitre'd and waitresses. After years of loving Sagano, we will not be returning and will be advising our friends not to waste their money. There are much better Japanese restaurants to go to.

   I have been celebrating my friends birthday at Sagano for the last 8 years. It has always been a special evening with good food and service. She has been going to Sagano for some 20 years. The staff know us and make it very enjoyable. This time we did not enjoy the food and will not be coming back until you make changes to the menu or bring back items from the previous menu. There was no presentation or taste. I had Donburi with beef. It came in a bowl with rice, beef and a fried egg. It was so plain and definitely not worth $27. I have had better food at the food courts. My friends order was simply put on a plate. It should have come on a boat dish or presented much better. The sashimi was not fresh. The menu is also very limited. The previous menu was a bit higher in cost but the items were so nicely presented and it was a pleasure to eat good food .

   The Sashimi is amazing! The ramen soup are really good. Double maki tuna and crab are fresh.

   What a disappointment. We've been going to Sagano for years as it was once of the top Japanese restaurants in the east GTA, but with a new chef and a dismal new menu, Sagano has taken a turn for the worst. Our young daughter looks forward to dining at Sagano and now never wants to eat there again. Honestly, no tamago, no katsu sauce and no tempura sauce...no traditional sauces with so few options on the new menu...c'mon! So sad that Sagano still has the great wait staff, but is no longer a Japanese restaurant.

   The 3- star rating is for service only. Food-wise, I’d rate it as barely 1-star with the new menu. They have significantly shrank the menu and took away my personal favourite dish - miso black cod. Sadly I will not return.

   Disappointing on this visit. We hadn’t been since the menu was changed recently. Couldn’t make a Kir Royale (no cassis). Appetizers underwhelming. The tuna poke lacked seasoning. Very poor Ramen dish (pork). Will give it another try as we do like the ambience. Service and food have usually been very good.

   Poke was lacking, sashimi was good, but hard to screw up raw fish.

    I have been going to Sagano for more than 15 years and the food is usually great. However I did not like the new Menu. Everything has changed and the food was not that great. Very sad to say I will not be going back
