Delicious dinner. Very fresh fish and the bento tray was very good value and had unique dishes. Not pictured but was very well made and tasty was the torched salmon sushi. Highly recommend to visit this restaurant.

Absolutely love this place. Great food that felt like I was back in Japan. The presentation is great and food tasted fantastic. Only wish they had a couple more vegetarian items or listed items that can be made vegetarian because it's hard to convince my spouse to come when there is only one item on the menu that she can eat. In any case it's so worth the trip out.The platter was worth it!

Decent food but a bit underwhelming. Quite expensive for the quality and portions. The vibe felt a bit gimmicky. Some of the ingredients on the dishes were not mentioned on the menu. Enjoyed the spicy tuna maki, but wouldn't order some of the other dishes again. Karaage was mid..

Visited Kingyo as one of the top Japanese restaurants in the city. The restaurant is a unique hybrid restaurant and market, where you can order food and purchase imported Japanese goods at the same time. The atmosphere has elements of Japanese culture such as pachinko machines mounted on the walls as displays and showing old Japanese commercials on a projection.The Makunouchi Platter is one of the best offerings, with 12 different tasting dishes and is the best way to experience the various flavours of Japanese food. The platter changes daily so each day has a different mix, but is representative of the dishes offered on menu.The restaurant also has offers various sushi, sashimi and various rice (donburi) and noodle dishes.For the market, they sell a mix of imported Japanese goods and prepared food from the restaurant. Best to go when they have discounts on their prepared food which is later in the day.Overall, it’s a recommended visit as one of the more highly rated Japanese restaurants in the city.

Excellent food and no problems with the service! The market has a wide selection of japanese goodies and lunches that are 20% off after 6pm!

We always enjoyed dining at Kingyo pre-Covid. They have since reopened with a market area and a seating area. We were tempted by the special menu for 2, but decided to order a la carte. The grilled yellowtail cheek/collar was delicious, extremely tender. We also enjoyed the Kingyo 12 item Platter, spicy Negitoro pressed sushi, Porkloin cutlet and Sea urchin bibimbap. Appreciate the friendly service, Thank you!

Kingyo has quality food AND grocery items. You can find unique Japanese snacks and some of Tsuchi Cafe items as well.It’s a nice restaurant/grocery store I like to
UPDATEThe restaurant gave a generic response without clarifying their seating policy. This lack of transparency leads me to conclude that no such policy exists, and the server was just trying to kick us out. 1 start deserved.-- What happened --We arrived at 5:30 PM on March 8th, everything went well until 6:50 PM when a male server told us to leave at 7:00 because our table is reserved by another group. We still had 3 dishes untouched on the table. Nobody mentioned a time limit when we sat down. At 7:00, he's back with takeout boxes and our bill—super rushed. I didn't argue because my friend wife is pregnant, but definitely annoyed.The first time payment didn't went through because it exceeds tap limit. When he saw me didn't gave any tip, he then mentioned that he had spoken to the manager and offered us an alternative table until 7:30 PM. Still left no tip after that "generosity."-- Some of my thoughts --The first possibility is that the restaurant has a 90-minute seating policy we weren't made aware of. Normally, we'd expect to be informed about such policies upon arrival, sometimes a heads-up on any last call for food orders.It's also possible that there wasn't any seating policy in place, and we were just the unlucky table chosen by our server to be asked to leave.Regardless, the lack of communication from the staff about their policies is unacceptable, especially for a place costing $100 per person.-- Result --I'll post an update here if the restaurant reaches out to me. I'm hoping they will, if they truly value their business

Extremely fresh sashimi, great food. Very unique Japanese restaurant. And the atmosphere is great. The supermarket offer variety of products, coolest one in my opinion is the pre-cooked ramen. I would personally recommend the uni, one of best I have found in Toronto.Parking: Parking could be problematic during busy hours, you can park on the road just fine if it is not too busy.

Such a wonderful experience stopping by Kingyo Fisherman’s Market for a weekday lunch. We didn’t have reservations and were lucky enough to be the only ones at the store when we visited, but cant wait to go back! Delicious, fresh fish (get the platter!).Impeccable service and care.
