25 Best Japanese Restaurants in Scarborough

“Hana Ramen is a hidden gem! The broth is rich and flavorful without being too heavy, and the noodles have the perfect texture. Portion sizes are generous, and the toppings feel fresh and well-balanced. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and the service is quick even during busy hours. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great spot for both a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner. Definitely one of the best ramen spots in town—I’ll be coming back often!“

“We came because you have good reviews. We found out that Gyu Hito is an amazing go-to-place for delicious Japanese AYCE BBQ! The restaurant has a modern feel to it and the staff is incredibly attentive to our food needs. Such good service! The food itself is so tasty (so many different types of seasoned meats) and there are many yummy sides you can order as well! The most thing I like is the fruit tea, best combination with BBQ. Dessert is also something to look forward to because you can choose your favourite Melona popsicle and have it with a sweet creme brule dessert!“

“Arrived slightly before 12PM with my girlfriend and managed to get our names first on the waitlist. Promptly after, it started getting packed with tons of people signing up for the waitlist. Was very surprised to see how busy it was on a Wednesday afternoon at opening.

We both went for the $26.99 AYCE lunch special. Soup bases are included in the price and you can choose up to 2 different bases. Items to choose from were a bit limited from a protein perspective, but we were more than happy to inhale beef brisket slices and seafood. Veggies and sides were great too. Ice cream cone at the end was great and the perfect way to end the meal. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the Hokkaido pudding.

Service was exceptional. Staff members were very attentive, consistently topping up our soup pots, pouring water for us, and getting our food orders. Seating time is limited to 1 hour and 45 minutes. Ample time in my opinion.

Overall, we really enjoyed our time at Daimaru. I highly recommend it, especially for their lunch special. We both ate for just under $60 including a tip!“

“🧋 “Tucked into a bustling corner, this bubble tea spot has become a regular treat for my kids. The flavors are consistently delicious, and the portion sizes are generous—great value all around. A reliable go-to we’re happy to recommend!”“

“Absolutely bomb chicken. The curry mayo poured onto the rice is definitely the way to go it is SO good. First time having katsu and I am not disappointed whatsoever. Also it is a good 🍃 food sooooo do what you want with that information. Delicious 1000/10 food.“

“Chef Kodie hosts one of the best Omakase experiences in all of the GTA. This place is an absolute hidden gem. You are guaranteed delicious, fresh and seasonal selections no matter what time of year you go and prepared expertly by the Shizuku team. We love it here as we often get to try things that are not found in your 'average' Omakase experience. Chef is extremely knowledgeable about what he is serving and we enjoy learning about our food and where it comes from. They also have a great selection of sake. Their signature pastry dish is an absolute homerun every time. Do yourself a favour and check this place out!“

“I will recommend great restaurant“

“I recently tried Qoo Sushi in the same plaza as Royal Car Wash, and I was so impressed! From the moment I walked in, the place had a cozy and welcoming vibe. The staff were super friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right with my order.

I ordered a sushi platter for takeout, and honestly, the presentation alone was beautiful—it looked fresh, colorful, and appetizing. Every piece of sushi was perfectly rolled and tasted so fresh. The fish was tender and high-quality, the rice had just the right texture, and the flavors were well-balanced. I especially loved their spicy rolls with just the right kick, and the nigiri melted in my mouth. Even the wasabi and ginger tasted fresh, which really elevated the whole experience.

What I really appreciate is that they pack the food neatly, so even takeout feels like a restaurant experience. The portion sizes are generous for the price, and you can really taste the quality in every bite.

If you’re craving sushi in Scarborough, Qq Sushi is a hidden gem! Whether it’s for dine-in or takeout, I’d highly recommend them—you’ll definitely leave satisfied and wanting to come back again.“

“If you really like fresh Japanese food, that is the place.“

“Been here many times and quality of food and service always amazing and consistent - fresh sushi and sashimi, grilled dishes..etc. Service is one of the best points here, your table always cleaned of used plates and food comes very fast. This place has always been our go-to AYCE. Highly recommended!“

“We had dinner. My wife had the sake tasting menu which the menu says is $90 but they charged us $120. We’re not happy about that! The food was good as usual.“

“Great place to recommend to group parties for enjoying good food and gathering. 100% great services and food. 5 stars.“

“Greatest taste sensation 😋😋😋“

“Absolutely delicious and great service. Fantastic place to eat. Would highly recommend 👌“

“Been buying here ever since they opened, sashimi was my favourite go-to. However, their sashimi slices have noticeably gone thinner, almost like when you eat it you can’t really enjoy it as much as before. I hope they bring back their usual slices for sashimi.“

“The food is excellent and cooked to perfection and the portions are big enough to fill you up and the soup is excellent you have to try it I've been to other locations but this one is the best one for service and the quality of food“

“The food is good portion and the price is right. Excellent customer service“

“It should be an old restaurant that has been open for 20 years. If you like Korean food, you must not miss it. The taste is old-fashioned, including bibimbap, pork bone soup, cold noodles, sweet and sour pork, and various pots. They are all very good. It’s a taste that you’ll miss if you don’t eat it for a while. Hope it keeps going.“

“I love it“

“I work in the area, and whenever I meet new colleagues, I always recommend this sushi spot. Everyone I’ve suggested it to has praised the generous portions of meat in their sushi and the fair pricing for the quality offered.

While I haven’t been to many sushi places myself, I trust the positive feedback I hear, and this place definitely lives up to the hype.

Every time I order, the quality is consistently excellent, and everything is always fresh. Highly recommend!“

“Great staff great food. Quiet and friendly atmosphere. 100% will be returning very soon with my friends“

“My girlfriend and I had decided to try this Korean-Japanese restaurant nearby. We received excellent customer service, and the food was great as well. James was such a very friendly, polite, and professional employee. I felt like I was treated well—one of the best customer services I have experienced. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Forget everything you think you know about sushi – this place redefines it! Yes, your wallet might feel a slight pinch, but the explosion of flavor is worth every single penny. I should know; I'm here at least twice a week! You can taste the dedication and artistry in each perfectly crafted piece. The fish is incredibly fresh, the rice is perfectly seasoned, and the combinations are inspired. It's not just sushi; it's a culinary masterpiece! Yes, it might be a little over priced, but they work hard to make this delicious sushi it’s so good!“

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

“Jessica is the best waitress. She made us feel right at home and did an amazing job checking in on us and recommending her favourites on the menu. I highly recommend finding a table that she is at. August 8 is lucky to have Jessica and we will be back to see them!“
