50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Thornhill

“Nice food.“

“I always come back for their Mulhoe (spicy cold raw fish soup) and hoedeopbap (spicy chirashi don with veggies). Especially the Mulhoe — it’s hard to find anywhere else at this value. It comes with so much fresh seafood, including sashimi and squid. I always add the thin noodles for $3. 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.“

“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! 🍣“

“The foods are of very high quality, the staff are very nice, service is great, the atmosphere is very good, we had a wonderful dinning time with family at Nogi Sushi“

“Casual, cozy place, not extremely busy, good food and great service.“

“The food is amazing! To the owner, I would like to let you know that your products especially the ramen, provided me comfort during tough times. As if the ramen touched my soul, it felt like peace and home. I suggest you try it too guys! it's a 1,000/10 for me and I am not joking!“

“We love this restaurant. The food is very fresh. The staff are great. We bring our friends and family here very often and we are never disappointed.“

“The best all you can eat Japanese i have ever found in Ontario the staff were amazing food came out in a steady pace a large selection of items many that none of the others have I went with my father and service dog and they were more then accommodating tAhis is one of the hardest reviews to write as I could not find anything wrong at the restaurant I will say I would put there food up against any high end Japanese restaurant in the city without hesitation this experience had completely surpassed any experience I have had at any previous Japanese restaurants I've been to“

“Very goid service“

“Still my favourite neighbourhood sushi resto. Small, sweet and very well done.“

“Amazing service and food. An authentic Kaiseki experience.“

“Food is amazing but service is not good at all.
I asked for any sort of sauce and they said they only have hot sauce, even though i’ve had sauces there before and no matter how many times i asled for it they said they don’t have it.
Eventually when i ordered some sort of fish they brought me a sauce with it and i just said i want more of this. Don’t know why they never bring you what you ask for and insist they don’t have it when they do !!!
But again quality of food is great they have just done a bad job with hiring people who are attentive .“

“Good quality food. Fresh sashimi. Expensive though“

“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!“

“This is definitely my go to spot for some really good hotpot between the fresh cuts of quality beef lamb and pork to the good tasting soup and the ramen everything was super delicious anyone looking for a good hotpot spot definitely come here u won't regret it( we have the pork bone and tom yum )“

“Delicious take out! Pretty platter!“

“I will recommend great restaurant“

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

“Joseph was my server and he gave me the best experience of my life! The food was amazing, the miso soup was DELICIOUS! Joseph was going out of how way to give all of his customers the more comforting experience of all time. Give him a raise IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!“

“Absolutely lovely small sushi place. Arrived at ~6:30pm and had a 20 minute wait for a table in their small dining room, and it was absolutely worth it. Fresh and super high quality sushi and the sashimi is flavourful and nicely thick cut, unlike many other sushi places that pad their combo sizes with thin sashimi cuts. Service was excellent and the environment was cozy yet still private.“

“It's been a while since my last visit. The food remains exceptionally good (I strongly recommend upgrading to the Wagyu menu). Our server, Yida, consistently offered us suggestions and meticulously maintained the cleanliness of our table.“

“Really friendly staff and quick service. Dining inside is possible but only a few tables. Interior is cozy. The maki and the sashimi are pretty good and the price is pretty affordable. Their mango slush with mango jelly is also really good.“

“Delicious food and generous portions! I've ordered takeout and catering, and the katsu holds up during travel. Next time, I'll have to dine in as the katsu must be even better fresh out of the kitchen. Highly recommend the chicken katsu burger and the fish katsu burger.“

“Had a wonderful experience here! The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and very clean, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. The food was delicious and well prepared, with every dish full of flavor. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality and portions you receive. Highly recommend, and I look forward to coming back!!!!“

“exceptional tastes! they have unique offerings compared to other sushi restaurants in the neighborhood.“

“Best Japanese food Ive had in a long time. Friendly staff, good prices.“

“Food is delicious and service is fast. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.“

“Came here for my anniversary dinner and we had such an amazing experience. The staff were all very professional and friendly. The sushi chef was amazing as well! I can't take spicy foods so I always ask for no wasabi in my sushis, which he did and I really appreciated that. One of the sushi pieces had some Japanese spice on it, it was quite spicy for me but I didn't say anything, however he noticed and on another sushi piece that had the spice again, he omitted it for me which was very thoughtful. I would definitely come back and would love to try their lunch menu and sukiyaki menus too!“

“We haven't had such fantastic sushi in a long time! Nothing like window seating for watching the world go by while ejoying freshly made sushi and rolls. Best sushi we've had in TO. Rollstar Sushi lives up to its name. Comes with friendliest service and cash discount too.“

“I love it“

“I had a great dinner with friends on 8 June. Good food of great value. Waiter Samuel is cheerful and helpful.“

“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.“

“環境明亮乾淨，肉品好“

“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.“

“Food was excellent. Picked up an order on Sept 13, 2026.
Especially enjoyed the Agedashi Tofu, Avocado Salad, and the Salmon Lover Roll!
Calamari is hard to get just right (I've tried) timing is so important. Probably will eat it right there next time.
Will order again!“

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

“We had a delightful dining experience at Megumi Mazesoba. Their culinary offerings were exceptionally delectable, and the ambiance was both cozy and invigorating. Furthermore, the establishment is family-friendly, making it an ideal destination for individuals with children. The owner and staff demonstrated remarkable professionalism and courtesy throughout our visit. Based on this positive experience, we anticipate revisiting this establishment in the future. ❤️“

“Hands down one of the best pickup experiences I’ve had! We ordered the sushi and sashimi roll platter, and every single piece was amazingly fresh. Beyond the delicious food, the hospitality here really stands out. It has that authentic, friendly mom-and-pop feel that makes you genuinely happy to support them. Plus, they kindly gave us a complimentary side of edamame as a thank you. 10/10 service and food!“

“What a wonderful place with such a contagious energy! My husband had been there a few times before, and this time I finally joined him on a Saturday Night.

For those who love Japanese beverages, there are several options on the menu. I’m certainly no expert, but I tried a sake with a lower alcohol content that was smooth and pleasant on the palate.

The food was impeccable! I didn’t take many photos, but I highly recommend exploring the menu yourself.

What truly sets this place apart, though, is the people — the staff and the owner are vibrant, welcoming, and full of positive energy. They make the whole experience even more special!

Definitely worth a visit!“

“Food is 10/10!! I went here for my birthday and had been eyeing the place before. The waitress was really accommodating and kind. I ordered the Salmon Combo. It comes with sashimi, nigiri and spicy salmon roll. I also ordered a spicy crab hand roll. The spice is real. I had to take a few moments before continuing. The combo comes with salad and miso soup which really helped with the spicy mayo. The sashimi was such a beautiful colour, you probably can’t tell because the camera washes it out. The sashimi is so buttery and just melts in your mouth. Presentation is 10/10. It was so worth it to come. Would 100% come back again.“

“Very fresh food and fantastic service! Sushi pieces were perfectly sized, which I find is a problem in a lot of places. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Everything feels fresh and delicious. We’ve ordered from here three times now, and the quality has been consistently excellent. 👌🏼 One of the best sushi spots in the area. Yum-yum!

I’m taking one star off because we love eating here, but last time they forgot to include the ginger and soy sauce with our order. We didn’t realize it until we got home. The food was still fresh and delicious, but it was disappointing to have that experience.“

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

“IMHO the top omakase experience in Toronto, having been to most. I may be biased as I love omakase, or maybe the kappo style resonates with me. The few times I have eaten here I have been blown away, wishing I could afford to visit more often.“

“Lan Sushi is the best sushi shop in all of Toronto. Operated by the sweetest couple, incredibly affordable for the quality and taste. The food is made right in front of you and is always beautifully packaged. I’ve been several times now and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend the Medium Maki Tray for a nice date night :)“

“I love this place! I come to Kiyo Sushi all the time and I’ve honestly never had a bad experience. Everything I’ve tried has been really good, always fresh and tasty. The staff are great and the food is consistently good. It’s definitely one of my go-to spots for sushi. Highly recommend! 🍣“

“1st… bring back Butterfish!!!! Why???? Would that be one that you rotate out???

Ok now for the review. Markham location… Customer service is excellent! He even offered to let me call ahead and hold my order. Rolls are always fresh - every location - I’ve been to all of them. I highly recommend! Brilliant concept. Good price. The tiny fish shaped soy sauce is super fun and keeps it from being messy - also a great idea. It’s 💯 take out. A must try!“

“This place was fantastic. The staff was also very kind and polite and always had smiles on their faces. And i've never had such big rolls of sushi. Not only were they huge, but they were extremely tasty. This place is a ten out of ten.
