50 Best Japanese Restaurants near East York

“exceptional tastes! they have unique offerings compared to other sushi restaurants in the neighborhood.“

“We recently visited Atto Sushi and were honestly blown away. Since the new owner took over, the quality of the food and service has become absolutely exceptional. Every single dish we ordered was prepared perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh and delicious.
Not only is the sushi outstanding, but all of the other menu items are amazing as well. You can really feel the passion and care that goes into every plate. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are friendly, and the overall dining experience was flawless from start to finish.
Atto Sushi has truly become one of the best restaurants in the Danforth area, and in my opinion, one of the best sushi spots in Toronto. Highly recommended! we will definitely keep coming back!“

“Came on a Thursday afternoon and although it was empty it was very good! As a Japanese it felt authentic and I loved the music choice, never change the music please!

I appreciated that the salmon roll wasn’t filled with tempura bits like other places, which I don’t really like about western sushi! Will be back“

“I had searched previously on Google to find a little spot where to eat and this came up. It's a little shop with almost everything you need for a perfect Korean or Japanese meal! It was freezing cold outside so I ordered a Salmon Bento (17$) including a miso soup, and it was honestly everything I needed. It was so comforting! The cashier was so nice and let me know that my order would be ready in 10 minutes, which was the case! I came in late (~ 2pm) and many sushis were still available. I'll definitely come again if I'm in the area! Thank you so much 💗“

“I’ve been coming to Sushi by K for five years and it has fantastic and fresh food every single time.

I have been to many places across Toronto - and just got back from three weeks in Japan - and this is certainly amongst the best. Keep it up!“

“Visiting Toronto and we found this hip place. Servers were nice, food was good, drinks were amazing! Sake Bomb!!! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Had Valentines dinner there last night. The first dinner package was mainly sashimi but the changed it to sushi for us at a reasonable extra cost . The food was excellent and the wait staff were attentive and friendly. Will definitely go back. An extra was that the waitress who greeted us was Japanese.“

“The meat quality was excellent, with a good variety of fresh cuts, and everything was really enjoyable. shoutout to our server Ashley, she was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Definitely a place me and my friend would come back to“

“I had a great dinner with friends on 8 June. Good food of great value. Waiter Samuel is cheerful and helpful.“

“I had a great dinner with friends on 8 June. Good food of great value. Waiter Samuel is cheerful and helpful.“

“We came because you have good reviews. We found out that Gyu Hito is an amazing go-to-place for delicious Japanese AYCE BBQ! The restaurant has a modern feel to it and the staff is incredibly attentive to our food needs. Such good service! The food itself is so tasty (so many different types of seasoned meats) and there are many yummy sides you can order as well! The most thing I like is the fruit tea, best combination with BBQ. Dessert is also something to look forward to because you can choose your favourite Melona popsicle and have it with a sweet creme brule dessert!“

“Highly recommend the corn tempura!! It’s actually so good and I will be dreaming of it.

The rest of the food was good too but I’d recommend the pork katsu next. It’s great bang for your buck and it’s genuinely so good. The gailan I’d pass on and the special of the day which was the squid jerky. But the ramen and sashimi was good, nothing special but very solid.“

“I stopped by one afternoon with my mother for a little nibble and was pleasantly surprised. We ordered the Torched Salmonand Traffic Light rolls, and they were so fantastic that we came back the very next day for more.

The pieces are generous in size, incredibly fresh, and packed with flavor. The service was outstanding—everyone was so friendly and accommodating, which made the experience even better.

The atmosphere is a little rundown and the space is small, but the quality of the food more than makes up for it. I highly recommend this spot if you're looking for delicious sushi at a great value.“

“We won this from Oni poke's Instagram giveaway. They were super accomodating and gave us such an incredible quantity of food. The food was extremely high quality and delicious. The presentation was gorgeous and the serving size was extremely generous. Thank you so much!“

“I will recommend great restaurant“

We celebrated my friend’s birthday here, and they made it such a special experience. We had a wonderful time, and we’ll definitely be back.“

“Wonderful lunch experience with @Katsuya.ca definitely must try! Great food awesome staff. Thanks for a great experience“

“one of my go-to sushi spots downtown! came back today after not going for a while and it was still so good. i got the spicy set and i really like that it’s not too sweet or overly seasoned. sometimes i find the flavors at other japanese restaurants a little too strong, but this place is just right for me lol. everyone’s always super nice too and even their barley tea is so good 😭 definitely one of my fav spots!“

“Really friendly staff and quick service. Dining inside is possible but only a few tables. Interior is cozy. The maki and the sashimi are pretty good and the price is pretty affordable. Their mango slush with mango jelly is also really good.“

“Amazing service and food. An authentic Kaiseki experience.“

“Wonderful lunch experience with @Katsuya.ca definitely must try! Great food awesome staff. Thanks for a great experience“

“It definitely worth the hype! We tried the beef hot udon and crab hot udon. The udon quality was very good, fresh, chewy, soft. The broth for each udon is different, both were very delicious. I will definitely come back to try more! Service was prompt and friendly. Heads up, Check out their Yelp page for virtual wait list to save time ;)“

“Absolutely delicious! The shoyu broth was incredibly flavorful without being overly heavy, the chicken was tender and moist, and the ramen egg was perfect. Every bite tasted fresh and carefully prepared. The staff were also incredibly accommodating and happy to customize my order, which I really appreciated. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Markham!“

“We had a wonderful dinner at Kingyo Izakaya! The service was amazing, the food was presented in such lovely, creative ways and was delicious! We will be back! Thank you for a great evening!“

“Good quality food. Fresh sashimi. Expensive though“

“It’s been a long time since my last visit. The service is still top-notch, but the dinner premium set has noticeably fewer food options now. The 4-broth pot is too small, and the vegetables are cut so long that it's really hard to fit them into the compartments to cook. The most frustrating part is that they got rid of the crème brûlée and milk pudding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The new dessert replacements just don't taste very good!!!!!!!!!
Strongly recommend bringing back the milk pudding and crème brûlée!!!!!!!!!“

“Great service and great food. Really like this place.“

“Amazing dining experience! The chef was extremely professional and clearly put a lot of care into every dish. All of the ingredients were incredibly fresh and high quality, and you could really taste the attention to detail in the preparation. Considering the quality of the food and the overall experience, the pricing was very reasonable. Definitely a great value and a place I would happily come back to. Highly recommended!“

“Food is delicious and service is fast. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.“

“Anytime I’ve visited, the sushi has been delicious. So many good options for vegetarians as well. Portions are great, and the service is splendid. You can either order with someone or off the tablet, which makes service very speedy. The restaurant itself has some very cute booths too that feel very intimate. I recommend!!“

“We had a delightful dining experience at Megumi Mazesoba. Their culinary offerings were exceptionally delectable, and the ambiance was both cozy and invigorating. Furthermore, the establishment is family-friendly, making it an ideal destination for individuals with children. The owner and staff demonstrated remarkable professionalism and courtesy throughout our visit. Based on this positive experience, we anticipate revisiting this establishment in the future. ❤️“

“We ordered the Dragon roll trio, but I have also come here for a bunch of their other rolls. Always a good experience and love the fact they are open late, definitely hard to find good sushi places open late. Always a go to when I'm in the west end.“

“Amazing food, drinks and service in a chic and lively atmosphere“

“I had a great dinner with friends on 8 June. Good food of great value. Waiter Samuel is cheerful and helpful.“

“Hands down one of the best pickup experiences I’ve had! We ordered the sushi and sashimi roll platter, and every single piece was amazingly fresh. Beyond the delicious food, the hospitality here really stands out. It has that authentic, friendly mom-and-pop feel that makes you genuinely happy to support them. Plus, they kindly gave us a complimentary side of edamame as a thank you. 10/10 service and food!“

““We went to Qoo Sushi and it was absolutely amazing! Everything was so delicious. It’s definitely more of a takeout-style restaurant, and don’t let the outside appearance fool you — the food is 100% worth it. We absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend it!”“

“I love it“
