Inspection summary

1 of 4 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 1 infraction recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing, Protecting food from contamination and Handwashing and staff hygiene.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on March 23, 2026. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 25, 2025. For example: 5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 25, 2025. For example: 7 Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 25, 2025. For example: 4 Are written sanitation procedures (Sanitation Plan) current and available on site?

    I've been having date nights with my wife at Eden for the last 10 years. My wife and I really love the food there. It's affordably priced and everything we've had tastes amazing. My current favorites is the Nigiri Bento, the Lansdowne Roll and the Crazy Girl Roll. The original owners were absolute sweethearts and the new owners are awesome as well. It's a tiny place with only a few tables, but it has a lot of heart and friendly staff, and the food is excellent.

    Great food and great service. They have this Make Your Own Tray option where you get to choose different sushi from the menu. We were two adults and a kid and the portion was more than enough for us. Very reasonably priced and the food was fresh. They remain very busy with takeaway orders. Tiny sitting arrangement but very nicely arranged. Staff were very friendly and cooperative. It's our new go-to destination for sushi for sure. 100% Halal, if you care. :)

    I always go back to get the poke bowl! It’s amazing and the oniguiris are too. It gets a little crowded but the poke bowl is sooo worth it!

    Delicious food - however, not a gluten-friendly restaurant. When dining with a family member, they told the server they could not have gluten. When the food arrived, they were served wheat-crusted tempura. On another occasion while waiting to pick-up my takeout order, I overheard a customer complaining to the server they were served gluten after clearly communicating they could not eat it. Staff need to be trained (or retrained) on the appropriate handling of food restrictions/allergies.

    I have eaten at Sushi Restaurants all over Canada. Eden Bento Cafe' has the BEST Mango roll ever! The staff is very friendly. I just moved here and found my favourite Sushi Restaurant!
