The sushi is fresh and delicious. The Sushi Omakase has a deal on the weekdays Monday through Thursday. The udon is chewy and delicious. We love their fried banana dessert. We came for a birthday and they gave the birthday boy a gift.

A small space with soft, warm lighting accompanied by friendly and helpful staff dressed in traditional Japanese attire on entry this place seems great. Unfortunately I don’t know if it was because I came in at essential their last call but I only enjoyed about 1/3rd of the sushi I had. The 10 piece platter came with uni at $35 for the platter that’s definitely the cheapest uni I’ve seen in Toronto but it also was also the worst uni I’ve had in Toronto.

Quiet little Japanese spot in the plaza serving top-quality food. I got the 1-person sashimi set — super fresh fish and uni, great service. Highly recommend for authentic Japanese without the downtown fuss.

Wow! What a fantastic find! This was my first visit, and it honestly exceeded my expectations. The sushi and sashimi were exactly like what I've had in Japan, truly authentic and delicious. We enjoyed the calm, relaxing atmosphere. We loved the food so much that after our omakase set (sashimi and sushi), we ordered three additional a la carte sets! The beer was served in ice-cold mugs and pitchers, which was perfect, and the recommended sake pairing was spot-on. A big thank you to our server for being incredibly kind and making our experience so pleasant, and to the chef for the amazing food. I highly recommend this to everyone, especially my fellow Koreans—you'll absolutely love it!

Aoyama is a hidden gem — an absolutely amazing sushi restaurant. We discovered it a few years ago and have returned whenever we seek quality sushi. The decor is a bit dated, but the service is impeccable and the food is exceptional. We absolutely love this place!

We had the perfect Japanese meal last evening at Aoyama! We chose the special meal for two, and every dish was exceptional. The sashimi and sushi courses were incredible, as was the Wagyu beef, and the poached egg! We had a lovely plum wine to accompany the meal. The courses were served professionally and quickly by a delightful waitress. The quality of this restaurant far exceeds other Japanese restaurants in Toronto, including those with Michelin stars or aspirations. Had it been more centrally located it would have been the talk of the town. It is evident that the Chef and his staff, all Japanese, take pride in their work. We highly recommend Aoyama, it is, in the language of Michelin, worth a special trip!
I came to Toronto for a business trip and looked for a nice Japanese restaurant for Nigiri in northern Toronto. I found this restaurant! I am impressed! From the service to the freshness of the 🐠 fish and not to mention, the authenticity of the taste; this restaurant should be anyone's top choice! This restaurant is running by Japanese people, therefore it offers the true taste of Japan when you dine here!

We waited over an hour for our food after being seated, which was really frustrating, especially since we had an appointment afterward. The food itself was unfortunately quite bland—lacking seasoning and not worth the long wait.
There was only one chef handling two small restaurants, which made me feel bad, but I also wish the staff had been more upfront about the delays. Our waiter was kind, but we weren’t given a realistic timeframe, and even getting drinks took about 40 minutes.
The layout of the restaurant was a bit odd, and the décor felt outdated, with Christmas and Valentine’s Day decorations still up in the summer. The waiter frequently had to run between the two restaurants, which added to the delays and overall disorganization.
Sadly, I wouldn’t return. The experience just didn’t match the effort of the visit.

Service was great but food is very mediocre for the price you pay. The ambience as well needs a little work.
