16 Best Japanese Restaurants near Ajax

“Absolutely fantastic fresh food. My favourite sushi place. The staff, chefs and owners are amazing . We have a few food restrictions and they were able to come up with a platter that worked for us. I’m so impressed. Can’t wait to come again“

“Makimono in Ajax is hands down one of the best sushi restaurants in the area! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was absolutely top-notch. Vivian and Amy truly went above and beyond to make our experience exceptional—they were so friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home.

The food? Incredible. The sushi rolls are HUGE and packed with flavor, and the menu has such an extensive variety that there’s truly something for everyone. Whether you’re a sushi lover or prefer hot dishes, you’ll be spoiled for choice.

This is also a fantastic spot for hosting parties! The ambiance and spacious seating make it perfect for gatherings with family and friends. On top of that, they’re running a great promotion for Christmas with their gift cards—such a perfect gift idea for sushi lovers!

Makimono is easily one of my favorite places to dine, and I can’t recommend it enough. Amazing food, stellar service and an all-around great experience.“

“I’ve always ordered from Edo Pickering & they have the best teriyaki sauce. I was so happy to see a location open closer to where I live! I just sent in an order and it was packaged so nicely, and carefully! It also included a free complimentary desert which is was such a nice surprise. I will def be ordering from here a lot more & I recommend to anyone looking for a good chicken/broccoli teriyaki bowl! I’m salivating writing this review just thinking about it, everyone check this place out!!!!!!!!“

“What a hidden gem. I found this on the way to the spa and holy smokes it was so good. Ordered spicy scallop roll and spicy salmon hand roll and was amazing. Service was fantastic despite it was take out. I will be coming back here on my passing.
Thank you.“

“Best Sushi I've eaten in Ontario! 😋“

“Hands down the best sashimi, sushi, and sushi pizza in Durham region!“

“Always love the food at Makimono and this location is exceptionally good. We don’t usually do the all you can eat. We enjoy ordering 5 or six things off the menu and sharing. Every dish was exceptional, played perfectly and the temp was just right. Did I mention delisious. Probably the best General Tso’s Chicken I have had ever! Staff are super friendly and attentive to service.“

“Best place for ramen!! Staff is friendly and food is fantastic 👍🏻❤️“

“Dinner was so good tonight as 6 of us enjoyed the Teppanyaki! Great entertainment and the food was spectacular. 5* and highly recommend.“

“I really really recommend checking out their onigiri when you have the chance! They're fresh to order and huge! ~$5/pp and an average person would be satisfied. Of course we had to try them *all* though. My absolute favorite is the beef sukiyaki! Can't wait to come back for a sit in meal one time! They're ingredients are super fresh!

Vegetarian options: They had vegetarian and vegan onigiri too.

Parking: Lots of parking.“

“Everything are freshly made!“

“Food is delicious but the cashier attitude is terrible. I ordered a bento and asked the veggies to not be deep fried tempura as I know my kids won't eat it and she rolled her eyes at me and said they can't accommodate. Weird considering they steam the veggie before deepfrying. Really left a terrible effect. No smile. No thank you. Just an eye roll.“

“Excellent quality! Fast service. Good portions.“
