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!“

“We had a great experience at
Shinta Japanese BBQ and our server Chen was a big reason why. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was taken care of throughout the meal. He explained the menu clearly, checked in at the right times without being intrusive, and kept our table running smoothly. The food was excellent, but Chen's service really stood out and made the visit memorable. We'll definitely be back!“

“Haru shabu shabu has a large selection of soup base, appetizers, meats, and veggies. We had the spicy and sukiyaki base and enjoyed both. With a green P parking across the street and subway station in the building, it’s super accessible. We didn’t have any problems with wait times around lunch time. Overall a great dining experience!“

“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.“

“Delicious take out! Pretty platter!“

“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“

“We ordered a large order today for a party for kids nearby. The sushi was great, and the customer service was very good too. They had made a mistake with the order, and went above and beyond to rectify it and bring us the item quickly. Very thankful for the kind and thoughtful service!“

“It’s a special nook in willowdale that provides great sushi! It is a bit smaller than other sushi places so I make sure to book a reso for dinners but mostly do walk ins for lunch. The quality of fish is very fresh with no smell and the service is always very friendly.“

“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!“

“The server is extremely nice and the vibe of the restaurant is good. We came here for a drink at 10pm after a huge day of hard working. I feel relaxed and chill here. The food for the beer is a good companion. The wooden fluted walls surrounded are very efficient to absorb noise so we can talk easily here. I enjoyed the night.“

“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. :)“

“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“

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

“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 :)“

“Great food fast service“

“Fabulous lunch - incredible experience !“

“good services, highly recommended“

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

“This is a grab and go takeout spot but honestly the quality surprised me in a good way. I got the Salmon Avocado Plus and the rice to topping ratio was perfect. Everything tasted fresh and super satisfying.
The location is right in front of TD Bank which makes it really easy to stop by and for the price the quality is amazing. I went near the end of the day and it was still fresh and delicious which I did not expect.
The staff and the owners were incredibly nice and welcoming and were smiling the whole time. You can tell they actually care.
I will definitely be coming back and would recommend this place!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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 ~~!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“I’ve been coming here for my lunch for a couple of months now. It’s an amazing place. Fantastic food, wonderful atmosphere, enjoyable music, and the staff truly cares! If you’re in the area during lunch time, this place always seems to have space.“

“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! 🍣“

“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.“

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

“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!!“
