Kingyo Fisherman's Market

Fabulous presentation, everything was presented differently and looked exciting! The salmon lovers and the wagyu beef steak sizzling hitsumabushi were the hits! Service is excellent and the room has a great vibe!

Came here to celebrate our anniversary. We had a great - the food was great (especially the dessert) and the atmosphere was great.
To start off, we had the torched saba, it was a nice touch, not needing more season and being just salty enough.

For our mains we got the aburi kaisen don and the crab uni udon. We loved the don - the fish being super fresh and the other sides complementing the main dish. With the udon, the ingredients were just as fresh, the uni being nice and creamy - not bitter at all. Though I would’ve enjoyed more if the udon’s sauce was slightly thicker.

The dessert (parfait) was def the highlight of our night, having amazing assortment of textures!

We celebrated our daughter's 11th Birthday here and everything was amazing. From the food to the attentive staff and the way they made my daughter feel special was excellent. A very authentic Japanese seafood experience.

Lively atmosphere and expertly crafted small plates. The Aburi Shime Saba (Pressed Mackerel Sushi) is a non-negotiable must-try.

One of my favorite Japanese restaurant in Toronto

Very basic, home made food. Portions are tiny for the price. Menu says there's miso soup and small side with the order but for some reason take out doesn't include it. Would have been nice to know before I ordered it.

Atmosphere is in a small shop. Which is nice and feels authentic. But very few tables so if dining in, make a reservation. Food was good and different.
I got the tasting menu (12 items) it’s nice to try all in small portions. Prices were alright. Parking is either free street parking (not easy to find)or there’s a green p close by.

If it weren’t for the abysmal customer service, I might have given this place a generous 3 stars. The entire seating system is a disaster. They separate “reservation tables” and “waitlist tables,” but it makes absolutely no sense when there are multiple empty tables just sitting there while the waitlist drags on for 1.5–2 hours. For a restaurant where you’re expected to drop at least $150, the level of service is laughable. The staff were dismissive, unhelpful, and acted inconvenienced when asked a simple question like whether the table was ready. The whole experience felt disorganized, unprofessional, and honestly, a complete waste of time. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Terrible experience from start to finish.
