50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Maple

“Best sushi place around must go“

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

“Very goid service“

“As a long-time sushi lover, I recommend this place. The fish and ingredients are fresh, and you can really taste the difference in every bite. The sushi was flavorful and well-balanced, with each roll and nigiri made with care. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better.

They also have table seating, which is great if you prefer a sit-down meal setting. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. One of the most fun surprises was the selection of unique Asian pops and ice creams for dessert—definitely not something you see everywhere.

I’ll absolutely be back.“

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

“I’m a foodie who loves finding great spots, and eating alone at Haru Shabu Shabu was so much fun! The staff was really kind and helped me pick the tastiest dishes. The food was fresh and super yummy, and the place felt warm and cozy. It’s one of my favorite restaurants, and I can’t wait to come back! You should totally try it!“

“Quality was on point, great variety! Beef, pork belly, and seafood were all fresh.
Cooked food and desserts were also good, the caramel pudding was especially awesome. Service was efficient and they changed the grill frequently. For this price, getting all this is totally worth it. Will come back again!“

“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.“

“Had lunch today at this establishment. Ordered the lunch set with tempura. Very impressed with the quality of food & service received. Appetizers full of omami flavour; sashimi tasted very fresh and well prepared - favourite piece for me would be the Madai; sushi very well prepared - rice flavour well balanced, each pieces is paired with its unique sauce and spice. Hard to pick one as I loved all of them. I will 100% revisit this restaurant for maybe dinner next time. Absolutely delicious and great service. Chef is also very friendly!“

“We were craving sushi, and found this little place. We ordered Takoyaki, dynamite roll sushi, and chicken karaage. The takoyaki is a bit salty, maybe because it has too much sauce, but the Chicken Karaage and dynamite sushi was really good! Overall, I would highly recommend this place! We'll be back here again for sure.“

“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.“

“Amazing sushi! The fish was super fresh and full of flavor. The staff were kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere was cozy. Highly recommend the salmon and tuna – so delicious! It’s also a perfect place for family gatherings, meeting friends, or enjoying a drink with good food. I’ll definitely come back again.“

“Delicious take out! Pretty platter!“

“KSushi is such a great hidden spot. I go with my girlfriend before archery practice, and it’s always amazing.
The sushi is fresh, delicious, and has that expert homemade touch you don’t find everywhere.
They have a great variety, and everything tastes spot on.
The staff are super kind, and the whole place has a welcoming vibe. Definitely worth checking out if you love quality sushi and friendly service.“

“Visited here yesterday for dinner. We ate until our hearts were content 😃 We tried several rolls and they were all great...the deep fried ones are good too. Tired the chicken skewers, salmon teriyaki, tempura, beef ribs all tasty. Tried the 3 different cakes and other sweets all lovely. Buffet was $38 a person. The bubble tea was extra but the guy took that off our order since we didn't know. Overall service was quick, food was fresh and all tasted great.“

“I had lunch here with my family and i like the atmosphere, child friendly and good food.“

“Great food fast service“

“Nice food.“

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

“The quality of food is good and consistent and they are very reliable. It’s a hidden gem. We ordered 2 sushi platters, 3 dinner specials and 3 udons and the food was fresh and packed well and they got the order right.

So happy that they also offer a vegetarian sushi platter!

So glad we found our go to sushi place in the neighborhood!“

“I tried the pork loin with brown sauce and it was amazing — perfectly crispy on the outside and cooked just right on the inside. The portion is very big, definitely enough for two to share, which makes it even better value. The cheese blocks were super tasty, and they honestly have one of the best takoyaki I’ve ever had. On top of that, the staff are very nice and patient, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place!“

“This place deserves more than 5 star. It's very difficult to find a true Japanese restaurant and the quality is just a top notch. Words cannot explain how good this place is. You must try. There are only about 6 tables and making reservations are recommended.“

“Been here multiple times. They have promotions running often, most recently we received a free cheesecake with a person in our group celebrating his birthday.

I’ve had the gold menu before just to try and I would say that the black menu is better in most ways.“

“Decent place to satiate my craving for sushi rolls and ramen. Ramen prices are around $13.99 to $15.99, and I take advantage of the sushi rolls daily special for $9.99.Portion size is good and they add lots of toppings, and the broth is tasty.“

“Kibo Sushi is a hidden gem! The quality of the fish is outstanding, and the menu has a great variety of creative rolls. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a date night or casual dinner. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!“

“good services, highly recommended“

“*edit: 2025 Aug Still great!

Fast takeout with easy ordering and a well written menu with good photographs of the item. The fish is the perfect temperature and the rice is flavorful. The presentation dining in is beautiful and the take out also looks good and sapporo sushi always provides a fair serving of soya, ginger, and wasabi.“

“Wow what an incredible place to dine! Firstly the staff is so warm and welcoming. They are very kind and treat you like family. Secondly best sushi I’ve had in all of York Region! Sea food is very fresh. Lastly restaurant is well kept and very clean. Highly recommend if you live in king city and haven’t tried. You’ll be hooked!“

“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. :)“

“It was our first time visiting this place, and my friend and I picked it completely by chance. We looked at the reviews, saw a 4.5 rating, and thought, okay, that sounds great. Even though it was late at night around 9:30 PM, the server was extremely kind and welcoming, and even let us sit on the patio.

Our food came very quickly, and the most impressive part of this restaurant was how genuinely nice and friendly the staff were. A lovely young lady named Kiin was incredibly sweet, polite, and patient. She kept checking on us with such kindness. Another young server, a guy, was just as amazing, and they both made our experience a hundred times better.

It was a rainy evening, but thanks to them we had such a wonderful time. Our sushi came fast, was very fresh, and tasted excellent. Everything was just perfect. I even asked for the young lady’s name so I could mention her here, because she truly made our night special.

Without a doubt, I’ll be going back many, many times, and I highly recommend this place if you want a great experience, if you’re craving sushi, or if you just need something to brighten up your mood. Everything was so good that if I could give 6 stars instead of 5, I absolutely would“

“This is the best sushi spot in Vaughan! I’m a regular customer and I’ve been eating here for years now. The owner is super friendly and always greets you with a smile. Feels like home every time I visit.

The sushi and sashimi are always fresh and they package the sushi in cute little boxes! Would highly recommend the sushi sets“

“Had dinner here today. They take reservations! Our server was lovely. She was friendly and attentive and helpful.
I ordered two massive rolls. Each piece was huge. I either, stuffed the whole thing in my mouth and chewed while looking like a hamster or took 1 bite first and everything else just fell all over the place lol. Not a complaint though!
Both my rolls were yum. I was very happy with my food. Their miso soup is good too. Hubby ordered one roll and ate some of mine. I left feeling satisfied!
The only small complaint are the greasy floors to the washroom. I had to walk carefully so I wouldnt slip. Also, the front door could use some cleaning.“

“Took me a whole year to write this review so I can't speak for their quality these days. They are good value and affordable sushi platters. They don't have the highest quality but it was decent. Would still get for a quick sushi fix.“

“The quality of the food at this restaurant is well beyond anything you would expect in the suburbs. The fish tastes fresh and the rice is high quality sushi rice. Generally you have to head to downtown to get sushi/sashimi that tastes this good.
The service is suburb, they actually make you feel like you matter and that you are at a friends house.
Finally, for the quality of the food the prices are more than reasonable.
I also like that I can get Soju at this restaurant as I prefer it with sushi to Sake.
I can recommend Akane without reservation.“

“Great value for money. We ordered their bento box and it came with chicken karaage, rice and cutlet. Very good portion for $15. There's not a lot of restaurants has price this good anymore. They have a lot of food selection under $20. Worth your precious dollars.“

“It is really delicious and fresh, we ordered spicy tuna, Filadelfia rolls and Tropicana rolls. Also the staff members were friendly and answered questions about the menu.

Vegetarian options: The menu includes vegetarian dishes.“

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

“Great service. Great food. And drink. And atmosphere.“

“I read the reviews on this place and I really don’t understand the negative ones . Its funny how people are so quick to post negative comments instead of quietly addressing their complaints to the establishment. Its like any other service they can’t fix if you dont say something.

We frequent this place a few times a year at all times during the day and evening .never had a bad experience.

We have tried the grilled yellow tail jowls ,
Sashimi, sushi some rolls and Kalbi .

Food has always been very good .

Our go to place for Sushi when in the area .

Prices are reasonable.

I recommend this establishment.“

“Fabulous lunch - incredible experience !“

“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 order here a lot. It's a small unassuming shop in a food court but the food is really really yummy, very reasonably priced. I'm so used to the deliciousness here that I forget how spoiled I am that when I eat other sushi I find myself disappointed elsewhere.“

“Love this place Great if you’d like something different“

“ge shoutout to Ivy at Sushi Que in the Promenade food court! She customized my Inari sushi just right — less rice, extra tempura bites, and spicy mayo (because life’s too short for boring sushi). Super kind and attentive service. I really appreciate when people take the time to give customized service — you’re the real sushi MVP, Ivy!“

“Good food, small place and a good ambience.“

“The conveyor belt is cool, but this spot stands on its own for quality sushi. As a sashimi fan I was pleased to find more rare options like Ikura (Salmon Roe), Uni (Sea Urchin) and others (that very few in my group ate, they loved the maki rolls). Which is solid, everyone can get what they want here. Solid drink menu, creative and non-alcoholic options was nice. See my pictures, some good food here and a stand alone restaurant is a great way to get away from “mall-time”.“

“The food of course isn't super amazing, it's good and will get your fill in. But the reason this is getting 5 stars is because of the insane value! The lunch price is amazing and includes 10 pieces of each kind of sashimi, so you can really get your money's worth here too! The atmosphere is also really cute and quiet, and well laid out. Definitely coming back!“

“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.“

“I always order delivery if I'm craving sushi! Tonight it was my dad's birthday and I asked for a small message to be written somewhere and they went above and beyond with the kindest gesture a birthday card !! the sushi alone was enough for me to always continue ordering but that small gesture made my dad's night! Thank you Sen Ryo sushi team!!“

“Food is soooo goood. But I saw a review on here with someone finding a catapillar in their food and I am forever haunted..... I have been eating here since I was just a little girl and I do not plan on stopping but I wish I never saw that picture lol other than that, that sauce is top notch!“
