50 Best Japanese Restaurants near King City

“I had an amazing lunch for the first time at Kenji. I ordered a ton of different food like the cheesy wontons, spring rolls, maki set c, bento box, dynamite roll, and mixed tempura. The staff are super friendly and I would highly recommend :D“

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

“This is best a la carte Sushi restaurant in Newmarket.“

“Great ambience, friendly staff and tasty food. Really love the beef tataki , beef tartare and salmon tartare. Ingredients are very fresh. Love the mentaiko Caesar salad; tasty and fresh. Will definitely try other selections on the menu next time.“

“Saw this place on TikTok late at night and booked it on impulse, no regrets.

There were three lunch omakase options available that day, and we went with the sashimi nigiri lunch. The course started with miso soup, followed by a sashimi appetizer, then 8 pieces of nigiri and a temaki. We even got ice cream at the end. It doesn’t look like a lot, but it was surprisingly filling.

The omakase was served in a separate room that seats around 10 people (I think?). Service was attentive throughout, servers constantly checked in to make sure everything was okay and we enjoyed every part of the experience, even the lady at the door was super friendly. At $55, it’s an insane deal. No super high-end fish obviously, but the experience and setting alone make it more than worth it. Highly recommend!!“

“Cotolet is my go to spot for Japanese pork cutlet. Always consistently amazing with very light flaking on the cutlets. All the sauces are awesome and tasty. Would definitely recommend coming if you're in the mood for some comfort food!“

“Very welcoming staff, respectful and professional.
The food was excellent with generous portion of fish and the price are very fair. Seating space is limited if you are a large group though.
This is a very nice sushi restaurant, I highly recommend it.“

“Treat yourself to a warm sushi hug.

We’d been to Hug Sushi’s OG location years ago and finally tried this dine-in spot. Now I wish we’d come sooner! The all-you-can-eat dinner features their well-balanced house special sushi and are decently small allowing you to try more variety.

We enjoyed the hug roll (a salmon avocado roll topped w/ torched salmon + ikura), the crazy roll (with a mound of crabmeat), a BBQ eel roll and even a honey mustard roll for fun that somehow works. Other good picks were the spider roll featuring soft shell crab and the scallop sushi. The sashimi here is thick cut like it should be so you can taste real fresh umami flavours.

We were too intrigued by their sushi selection to try much else. However, grilled shrimp skewers were crisp & well-seasoned and the mango shrimp & salmon salads were refreshing starters. Tempuras were decent as well. For dessert, they have mango sago and deep fried milk which is rare for AYCE sushi but matches another good nearby spot in Maple. Everything arrived quickly.

So what’s the verdict? We’ll definitely be back again at Hug Sushi. Just overlook the lack of interior tidiness and you’re bound to enjoy too!“

“環境明亮乾淨，肉品好“

“Sushi and sashimi are always fresh and food from the grill is good value. Most meals come with soup and salad which is an appreciated addition. The food from the grill can be inconsistent at times i.e. overcooked. Service is generally very good and the staff is very accomodating.“

“Ikon Sushi in Vaughan is an absolute gem and easily one of the best sushi spots in the area. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place takes its craft seriously.
The fish is incredibly fresh — every roll and nigiri melts in your mouth. The flavors are perfectly balanced, and the presentation is stunning. You can tell the chefs genuinely care about quality. Whether you’re ordering classic rolls or something more creative, everything comes out beautifully executed.
The service is warm and attentive without being overbearing, making the whole dining experience feel special. The atmosphere is clean, modern, and perfect for a date night or a night out with friends.
If you’re a sushi lover in Vaughan, Ikon Sushi is a non-negotiable. Easily a top-tier dining experience — I’ll be back again and again. Highly recommend!“

“Tried takeout from Kibo Sushi and I was honestly impressed! 🍣✨

I ordered two different sushi rolls (don’t remember the exact names 😅), and both were so good. One had mango, which gave it a fresh and slightly sweet twist—I really loved that one. The other one was creamy, rich, and super tasty.

Everything tasted fresh and well-made—perfect for a takeout night. Definitely craving it again!“

“First time here and it will not be last. Food and service is excellent!“

“Nice food.“

“Awesome place. I haven't had celiac friendly sushi for a very long time. I am very sensitive and get really sick if I eat any gluten or even something cross-contaminated. Tomo Japanese Restaurant was a great experience in terms of food, service, atmosphere, and above all safety for me and my son. People with Celiac and NCGS, Tomo is a really nice place with safe gluten-free food, highly recommended. :)“

“Had a great visit to Feza Izakaya! Our group ordered à la carte (not the all-you-can-eat), and everything was fresh, tasty, and nicely presented. Portions were just right, service was friendly, and the vibe was cozy and welcoming. Highly recommend for a relaxed night out!“

“Excellent food and service every time. Rachael has been our waitress many times and she is great.“

“Edo Japan Newmarket showcases the best of Edo Japan with their signature affordable freshly made healthy meals. The service is exemplary as it was friendly and efficient. The store's ambience is calming and the cleanliness is topnotch. I usually order beef teriyaki and it's superb each time. For a fastfood, this is the best option being newly made!“

“The best sushi restaurant I have ever been to and I am from Vancouver, extensive traveler, dedicated foodie and of Japanese heritage. I am still dreaming of my dinner If you want All you can eat, this is not your restaurant, this is for a wonderful authentic, dining experience that you won't forget. Enjoy!“

“Wow, the food here is amazing! The rolls are made with such high quality and fresh ingredients, and very flavourful. Ordered the president’s choice and salmon magic rolls - a crispy savoury delight for sure.

Also ordered the takoyaki appetizer which was delicious, crispy outside and fluffy inside just like it should be. Not only are the placement of dishes impressive, the taste is indeed remarkable.

Service was also friendly and welcoming. 😊

Thank you for the great experience, Sapporo Sushi!“

“Got the dragon roll combo to share and it was perfect... Loved that there was torched salmon 🤤... Just enough food 24 PCs for us both and I was surprised that they had such a cute board for our rolls 😁 The rolls were super fresh and so yummy. This is always going to be my favourite place to get sushi...the value is so good and great quality!“

“The most delicious rice balls, I have ever eaten and I am a foodie and Japanese Canadian. The rice was cooked perfectly and the filling was delicious and plentiful. A delicious lunch. I think I will pick up a few more for my trip today. The owner was super nice and encouraged me to stay and work on my laptop for a few hours.“

“Location with lots of parking Friendly staff Don’t miss out on great Japanese cuisine.“

“Great sushi, sashimi, and cooked food that has that special homestyle taste! We were hungry after a movie and thankfully Komachi was here to solve our problem! Everyone found something that they enjoyed and I'd encourage others in the area to give them a try. Also, they'll give you a discount if you pay cash. Good service, nice staff, and great food! Thank you Komachi.“

“I picked up the party tray(P1.52 pcs assorted with sashimi,sushi and maki) for 3 people. Everyone really enjoyed every single item!!
So fresh and the sushi rice is perfectly cooked and prepared!
The quality and the portion are amazingly great! It is such a hidden gem in the neighbourhood!! The staff were so kind and attentive as well.
I would definitely come back to try something else!
Oh! I got 10percents off with cash payment ~~!“

“If I could give six stars, I absolutely would. This place is excellence in every way. Whoever runs this restaurant truly knows what they are doing. We have been ordering sushi from here for the last few months, and every time we try somewhere else, we always end up coming back here.
Everything about their sushi is outstanding: the quality of the rice, the freshness and amount of ingredients, the flavor, the presentation, and even the pricing. You can genuinely feel the care and attention they put into every order.
This has become our go-to place for sushi cravings, and we cannot recommend it enough to anyone who truly loves sushi.
Thank you again for such consistently amazing food and service.
Esther, Daniel.“

“Warm atmosphere, stunning presentation, amazing food and huge portions!“

“Food and service here is amazing. The owner came out to talk to us, and he was very friendly and accommodating. Since it was Chinese new year, he personally made us a vegan claypot rice (not on the menu) which turned out to be very smokey and flavour rich, in spite of our multitude of Chinese new year dietary restrictions (no eggs, no garlic, no onions, light oil, etc. ). That soy sauce that came with it was something special.

The sashimi was large, and very fresh. Very happy with the portions. As was the edamame and seaweed salad. The miso soup was not too salty, and you could taste the dashi and a hint of sweetness. It was good.

The Eel dragon roll came with not too much rice (forgot to take a picture because of how fast I ate it), but was very good and had a good ratio of avocado, shrimp, and eel.

Overall would recommend.“

“The best fresh noodles in Newmarket, the noodles soup was fresh , hot and tasty.
The service was super friendly and attentive.
Clean place, quick service, and overall a really enjoyable experience.
Would definitely come back and recommend to others“

“Have eaten here for over a decade (more likely two) and they have NEVER disappointed. The sushi grade is exceptional and everything is made with incredible detail and very fresh. Would recommend sushi, maki or sashimi trays. Spider roll (maki) is amazing.“

“Best sushi place around must go“

“Having my New Year Eve dinner. Very good quality and experience. So good and yummy 😋“

“We ordered a large platter that was absolutely delicious, fresh, and high-quality. From the moment it arrived, I was truly surprised – the presentation was so beautiful and artistic, it looked like a painted masterpiece on a plate. It came with a warm, flavorful soup that was simply delightful. The staff were extremely polite, friendly, and professional, making the experience even more special. I will definitely come back and highly recommend this place to everyone.“

“This is a takeout-focused sushi spot and one of our family’s go-to places. The location is great and very convenient — we often grab sushi here on movie nights or after a long day.
Even though it’s mainly takeout, the ingredient quality is noticeably better than many dine-in sushi restaurants. The fish is very fresh, and you can truly see and taste the difference.
Strongly recommended! 🍣“

“Hot, delicious, fresh food! Come with a hearty appetite since it’s all you can eat!!“

“I have been coming to this place for almost 5 years now. Love their miso ramen. It’s really tasty! Their takeout packing is very sturdy and good as well.
I noticed within last year that the quality of the noodles have degraded, I feel that they refrigerate their noodles and they are not made on the they of, doesn’t look and taste fresh. You can actually see the noodles being bunched up and frozen.
Overall I like the taste of their ramen soup.“

“I love this restaurant! When we are in town we make a point to visit it. The food is beautifully presented and delicious. This time we tried the new thing we tried was bulgogi gyoza and it was fantastic! You will not be disappointed!!“

“The restaurant, service and food at this restaurant was good. However the only downside is that the customers are literally asked to pay a tip. During this difficult period of the pandemic, it is hard to leave a tip. It should be optional but if you do not tip, you are sort of asked "why no tip". This becomes odd and the customer should be given the discretion to tip. This is the reason, I am giving 4 stars to this restaurant.“

“Overall a great experience at Kaikaki Japanese Cuisine! The variety and freshness of the food was impressive - the sashimi, nigiri, tempura, and miso soup were all excellent. The presentation was beautiful and the portions were generous.
The only downside was the salmon in the Kaiki Bento - it came out noticeably burnt, which was a bit disappointing given the quality of everything else on the tray. Hoping it was just an off night, because the rest of the meal was genuinely enjoyable.
Would definitely come back and give it another try!“

“The sushi here is really good, fresh, tasty, and great quality for the price. It’s not a fancy or luxury place, but everything tastes authentic and delicious. The only thing is that the space between the booth seats and the table is a bit tight, so it’s not very comfortable to sit for long. Overall, definitely worth it if you’re looking for good sushi at a reasonable price!“

“Come to me for Japanese food.

Indeed, Kome Shokudo is the local spot for your affordable Japanese comfort food. We revisited for the first time in several years and were still impressed by the food portions and menu offerings. The flavours are nothing to write home about but for about $15 or less you can get a giant bowl of teriyaki beef on rice (gyudon), various udon, tempura or pork/chicken katsu curry. Only the shrimp curry with rice is a bit skimpy in the number of shrimps for the large option.

It’s neat that the quick-serve comes to your table via a robot server. You can fill up on fresh water at the drink station. The only downside is the decor which has aged over the years of popular use and plenty of graffiti seemingly from students scribbled on the walls of the side tables.

Skip it or hit it? When you’re craving for a quick Japanese fix this is good meal option. It can get busy in here so just be prepared.“

“Delicious bento box at a great price—only $9.99! The food quality is comparable to Japanese restaurants that charge around $17. This deal is available for weekday lunch only. The staff are friendly, and the environment is cosy. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This is my favorite Teriyaki Experience location. Food is always good at this location. Today was the best cooked meal and friendly service from a young lady with gold rim glasses. She cooked it perfectly and was so friendly. Highly recommend this location for their freshness.“

“We had such a great experience at this izakaya. The food was absolutely delicious everything felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The beef tartare was especially memorable: light, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The karaage was another standout—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned just right.

Service struck that perfect balance—not overbearing, but still attentive and timely, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable.

The only small downside was that it was a bit on the darker side, making it a little hard to see at times.

Overall, a fantastic spot and we’ll definitely be back!“

“yummy“

“Soooo good. I got the following order to try new rolls and they hit.
- double dynamite
- alaska roll
- volcano roll
And if you like spicy also get the “taco wasabi” but its packed with wasabi flavour so take it as warning. Amazing non the less.

Portions are great as well, very filling.

The owner is very nice and friendly.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Sparkly Restaurant, a Japanese-Thai all-you-can-eat spot, thanks to a thoughtful gift certificate from one of my coworkers, a nurse at the hospital. It was my first time trying this place, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of dishes that were fresh and full of flavor. The sushi was beautifully presented, the Thai curries were perfectly spiced, and the appetizers were a great start to the meal. The service was equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and efficient, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I truly enjoyed every aspect of my visit and would highly recommend Sparkly Restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Whether you’re a fan of Japanese or Thai cuisine, this place has something for everyone. I can’t wait to go back!“

“First time here and it was truly amazing.

The food is fantastic. I ordered the sushi set and everything was incredibly fresh and top quality. The tonkatsu don was also very well made and tasty, crispy on the outside and full of flavor.

The dining area has a classic Japanese style with thoughtful decoration and renovation. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Prices are very reasonable. It honestly feels like they haven’t raised prices over the years. I’d also highly recommend the dessert: the green tea ice cream is only $2 and has a rich flavor.

I normally don’t write restaurant reviews but this place is exceptional. I hope more people get the chance to visit.“

“My family and I had our Mother's Day dinner there tonight, and despite how incredibly busy it was for dine-in (it was the busiest I've ever seen it there), plus all the online pickup orders, the wait staff was not frazzled, stressed out, rushing, and maintained a polite, friendly, and accommodating attitude to everyone who was bursting through the doors.

I was very impressed by the customer service during a crazy busy night, though not perfect, I had to wait a couple of minutes despite having reserved a table beforehand and arriving a few minutes earlier. There were others who have booked reservations and had to wait longer for their tables. But it was Mother's Day! And the place being super packed says it all.“

“Service is good, new owners are friendly and kind. My family loves going because of their customer service. The tofu appetizer has changed but the maki rolls and soup, rice, noodles and so on, are still great. Definitely recommend getting a bento box if you want a variety and a good deal“
