“Best sushi place around must go“

“Very goid service“

“Had a really good experience here. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent, everyone was friendly and attentive. The food was amazing too, really fresh and full of flavor. Everything we ordered tasted great and was beautifully presented. Definitely a sushi spot I’d come back to!“

“Went for the weekday lunch buffet, around $40 per person.

The selection felt surprisingly limited.
The meat was fresh and dishes came out quickly, which was definitely a plus.

The Korean bibimbap was actually pretty good.
Everything else was just… fine.

Nothing tasted bad, but nothing really stood out either.
Overall it was a perfectly average Korean BBQ experience, just not one I feel like going back to.

A little too boring for me. 😭“

“Japanese Style Hot-Pot 🍲 💯

The food was so good. Especially we love the soup broth (sukiyaki & pumpkin soup). All the ingredients are fresh and the appetisers are freshly fried and hot. Also love the dessert their crème brûle is amazingly creamy and delicious.

I remember that day only one staff -
Janice who served us and all other staffs coming after 6. All of them are very nice and helpful.“

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

“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.“

“The establishment provided a delightful Japanese ambiance. The staff demonstrated exceptional friendliness, and the service was outstanding. We selected the Omakase menu, and the cuisine was both superb and remarkably fresh. As this was my inaugural Omakase experience, I thoroughly enjoyed the complete and authentic experience. I will go back to the restaurant again to explore another of their Omakase options.“

“Delicious take out! Pretty platter!“

“環境明亮乾淨，肉品好“

“good value and portion of in the town richmond hill ontario. we went early for dinner thus service is better and quieter. the chicken karaage is diff from traditional ones as not using corn starch but used batted coating; surprisingly good thin coating juicy and the wasabi dressing
was matching perfectly. the beef mushroom cream sauce pasta is good too but a bit heavy on the cheese and the cream. a sharing dish. the pork loin set with the spicy demi glacéd sauce was good in generous portion and cutlet coating. somehow a bit dry on the loin. the sad was fresh; high light is the spicy sauce, we brought the leftover sauce home for other seafood dish. seating area is spacious; the music was a bit loud. a good place for dating and gathering. i will return for other dishes. cheers“

“sapporo sushi is a classic that values quality and authenticity! amazing customer service every time and this is the place my partner and i come for celebrations or spur of the moment dinners, and it hits every single time!! easiest sushi spot recommendation“

“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.“

“Great local sushi spot with patio, lunch specials and good service.“

“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!“

“This place is so warm and cozy with excellent staff, great food and affordable prices.
I love going to this place at least once a week.
But come on now… the food is so good i go twice a week lately.
Thank you for the great service and 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. :)“

“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.“

“Michi has some of the best Japanese food I’ve had in Toronto. I’ve never been disappointed by the food and always look forward to coming back. The service is always super fast and polite. The restaurant itself is comfortable and inviting despite its small(ish) size. Truly a hidden gem in north York!!!“

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

“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!“

“I almost don’t want to tell the public about how insanely good the sushi is here but out of respect to the owners, I must. Fresh sushi and Japanese owed which is hard to find in Toronto (mostly Korean owned). They import their Chu Toro Tuna from Japan and it is exquisite. This is a gem in Toronto, a must try.“

“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!“

“I have been going to Izakaya since 2020 and it has been my Go-to when I’m craving good food. I usually get Chicken Katsu Bento because its worth every cent and every bite. The ambience is great and the service is good, would definitely recommend.“

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

“Nice food.“

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

“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“

“I really enjoy dining at this restaurant. The food is consistently good, and the staff are always friendly and kind. I often order the bento boxes but sometimes I get some makizushi as well. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and it reminds me of a place I used to work at. You’re all wonderful. Thank you :)“

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

“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.“

“Great food fast service“

“Here is one of my favorite places I always come to this place after my work and I have a lot of struggle to find a parking spot in the mall parking but I always do it for your perfect sushi.
The flavor and the sushi I have in here is the one and only place I truly love
Bc I never find anywhere else with this much great sushi .
And also there is a Asian guy tall black hair that he always give me nice welcoming.
The only problem is they are not open in weekends 😕.“

“I spent $20 cash on a California roll, and 6 pieces of sashimi. Very fresh, the chefs and cashiers are friendly, and hardworking. I always look forward to eating there or getting takeaway. Im happy with the price and the quality of the food“

“Fabulous lunch - incredible experience !“

“good services, highly recommended“

“Staff is nice!

Best bang for your buck if you looking more for aburi / cooked sushi and special rolls.

There is a stamp program as well!

They are located in the shops on yonge food court on 3 floor.“

“I came here for lunch with my coworkers and we shared a tasting box plus a few rolls on the side.

I don’t eat cucumber, so I specifically asked for no cucumber in our order and was told it could be swapped with avocado, which I really appreciated.

We were also informed it would take about 20 minutes, but it ended up being closer to 40–45 minutes due to the lunchtime rush. Totally understandable though, and the manager was very apologetic and even gave us a $5 coupon for our next visit along with our box.

When the food arrived, the presentation of the tasting box was absolutely WOW.. it was so beautifully done. We were honestly just too hungry at that point to admire it for long.

Unfortunately, I noticed the first roll I picked still had cucumber in it, and when we flagged it, the staff immediately looked into it. It turned out there was a miscommunication about the substitution, and most of the rolls in the box had cucumber. The manager personally came over, apologized, explained everything, and immediately took care of it by offering to remake the box without cucumber and providing a full refund, which really went above and beyond.

Despite the hiccup, the service and care from the team really stood out. Mistakes happen, especially during busy lunch hours, but the way the team responded made a big difference. I’d definitely come back again.“

“It was my first time trying Koshi Japan today and I’m absolutely in love! I got the chicken teriyaki and I loved every bite of it. I came all the way from Mississauga to try it and it was 100% worth it. So much better than teriyaki experience. I can’t wait to go back and try the other things on the menu“

“Tried Wako for the first time and ordered the salmon special for take out and it was delicious! Even though this was just for me it was definitely a good sized portion for 2 people to share! Delicious and will be coming back again for sure! Came around dinner time and ordered there and it was about a 8-10 minute wait. Not bad at all!“

“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 ~~!“

“Had a great experience at Kinton Ramen! We ordered the Original Pork Ramen and the Shoyu Pork Ramen, and both were absolutely perfect. The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles were cooked just right, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. Our server was also wonderful, friendly, and made us feel very welcome throughout our meal. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“we've been going here for about a year. I'd say once a month. this is the best sushi I've ever had. I highly recommend the veggie paradise and beef crunch.“

“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.“

“Great service and hands down the best sushi in North York.“

“I am a big sushi lover and have been to many Japanese restaurants and take out places everywhere. I am so confident to say , Noah kosher sushi has been the best one so far. I am not kosher or Jewish but if I were to have sushi, this is the place to go. Their ingredients are very fresh ( omg i wonder where they get their avocados.... The most creamy and so flavorful avocados ever !!) , sometimes make me wonder if theyd make any profits cause their ingredients and qualities of foods are outstanding! If you want a nice Japanese dinner at home or even at ur office , this is the place to go. Id pick noah sushi over any fine Japanese restaurants in town. Strongly recommend.“

“One of my favourite places in my neighbourhood. I frequent here a lot, and the woman who works there always remembers my order! It's nice to be remembered. Favourites would have to be the Agedashi Tofu, Crazy Boy roll and the Black Buster roll. ❤️“

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