Ordered the smoked tuna tataki, the aburi kaisen don, and the strawberry mochi parfait.
The smoked tuna tataki was fresh, but just okay. The aburi kaisen don, on the other hand, was incredible. Everything tasted so fresh, and there was a great variety of fish.
I usually hate fruit desserts, but I looooveddd the strawberry mochi parfait.

Kingyo Fisherman's Market is a hidden gem that features a cute interior and a small gift shop/supermarket offering Japanese snacks and souvenirs. Despite its unassuming exterior, the restaurant serves delicious food in decent, shareable portions. Highlights include the ridiculously good tartare starter and the Kingyo Makunouchi Platter, which offers a great selection of fresh and tasteful food. The pork belly don is also popular with a sauce that combines soy sauce, mirin, and cooking sake for a perfect flavor. The menu is known for high-quality ingredients, making this restaurant worth a visit, although prices can be a tad high, especially for some items. Reservations are recommended to avoid a long wait. The servers are very nice and attentive, ensuring guests are satisfied without being intrusive. Additionally, the small shop inside sells an assortment of snacks, drinks, and more. The lighting in the restaurant can be a bit bright, but overall, it’s a place to enjoy a real Japanese dining experience in Canada. Many visitors praise the fresh and tasty food, including sushi and Tonkatsu, which remind them of Japan. Recent reviews mention fabulous presentation, with dishes like salmon lovers and wagyu beef steak sizzling hitsumabushi catching the eye. Service is excellent, and the atmosphere has a great vibe. Guests celebrating special occasions, such as anniversaries and birthdays, enjoyed the authentic Japanese seafood experience, with highlights like the torched saba, aburi kaisen don, and crab uni udon, which featured fresh ingredients and delicious flavors. The dessert parfait was especially praised for its amazing textures and was considered the highlight of the night.
