About ARI

A Neighbourhood Table on St. Clair West

ARI Thai & Sushi is a Thai kitchen and a Japanese sushi counter sharing one dining room in Toronto’s Corso Italia. It’s a place where a bowl of Pad Thai and a plate of nigiri can arrive at the same table — and nobody has to compromise.

Good food tastes better when it’s shared.

Our menu is built for passing plates. Start with gyoza and spring rolls, share a dragon roll or a sashimi platter, then let everyone choose their own curry, noodles or bento. Nothing has to match — that’s the point.

Each cuisine stays true to itself. The Thai kitchen cooks with the heat and aromatics of the wok, made to your spice level. The sushi counter prepares rolls, nigiri and sashimi fresh to order.

The Dining Room

Designed for Lingering

Inside, brass-lit arches frame hand-drawn murals of Japanese towns and mountain landscapes, paper lanterns glow above long banquettes, and black marble tables sit on a bold chevron floor.

It’s a room made for taking your time — a quick lunch with a colleague, a long dinner with friends, or a celebration around a sharing platter.
