50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Unionville

“Even tho its a takeout place. The aesthetics are really appealing. The sushi and sashimi I’ve gotten so far (been buying for nearly 2 years) has been fresh and no strong smells. The packaging seems to changes seasonly so it not always the same so thats fun too. Staff are also quite friendly and will tell you if they can or not produce the order. I’ve had places tell me yes and when its pick up time, its “out of stock now”“

“Seats are comfortable and service is friendly. We walked in wednesday at noon and we enjoyed the space by ourselves happily. the black garlic soup ramens are good but we are disappointed that they are charging extra for green tea and the green tea comes in lukewarm and they use plastic tea bags. Will never order the tea again. Staff is very good though.“

“Had the Tasting Menu for the second time, and it was really fantastic. Beautiful fresh sashimi and sushi. With delicately flavoured specialties. And then miso black cod which I love.
The presentation was very nice. The service was good and I really like the decor. There is also an extensive menu that looks great.
Will definitely go again next time I'm in town!“

“The owners are super sweet and friendly. I've heard such great things about their handrolls and gave it a try. They were definitely delicious, most importantly the salmon reacher the bottom!!! Also ordered a tray and the quality and cleanliness was there. The shop is tucked away in the back of the second floor or Lagham. Well worth the walk though!!! Especially, for these prices. Affordable. Tasty.“

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

“Haru shabu shabu has a large selection of soup base, appetizers, meats, and veggies. We had the spicy and sukiyaki base and enjoyed both. With a green P parking across the street and subway station in the building, it’s super accessible. We didn’t have any problems with wait times around lunch time. Overall a great dining experience!“

“Good quality food. Fresh sashimi. Expensive though“

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

“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 probably the 5th time I come here and I have always been served professionally, the food is fresh, tastes amazing, the restaurant looks great and it’s clean, including the bathroom. You don’t wait a long time for your food, it comes up super quick if its not too busy.“

“老板非常友善，出品各方面也很好，值得推薦“

“First time I tried ramen here so fresh and so good omg the soup is so delicious and the boiled eggs are perfect for the breakfast nice and pleasant place they provide free wifi inside you can go with your friend have good food and chit chat
Staff were also good and patient cause it was my first time so im kinda of nervous about what to try but she helped me I will recommend this place
Thank you guys“

“It’s been a long time since my last visit. The service is still top-notch, but the dinner premium set has noticeably fewer food options now. The 4-broth pot is too small, and the vegetables are cut so long that it's really hard to fit them into the compartments to cook. The most frustrating part is that they got rid of the crème brûlée and milk pudding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The new dessert replacements just don't taste very good!!!!!!!!!
Strongly recommend bringing back the milk pudding and crème brûlée!!!!!!!!!“

“🧋 “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!”“

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

“Saw this place on TikTok late at night and booked it on impulse, no regrets.

There were three lunch omakase options available that day, and we went with the sashimi nigiri lunch. The course started with miso soup, followed by a sashimi appetizer, then 8 pieces of nigiri and a temaki. We even got ice cream at the end. It doesn’t look like a lot, but it was surprisingly filling.

The omakase was served in a separate room that seats around 10 people (I think?). Service was attentive throughout, servers constantly checked in to make sure everything was okay and we enjoyed every part of the experience, even the lady at the door was super friendly. At $55, it’s an insane deal. No super high-end fish obviously, but the experience and setting alone make it more than worth it. Highly recommend!!“

“I will recommend great restaurant“

“Cotolet is my go to spot for Japanese pork cutlet. Always consistently amazing with very light flaking on the cutlets. All the sauces are awesome and tasty. Would definitely recommend coming if you're in the mood for some comfort food!“

“The best authentic Japanese sushi experience! The atmosphere is elegant and welcoming, and the ingredients are incredibly fresh. Every dish is presented like a piece of art, with rich and deep flavors that truly stand out.

Chef Teddy’s creations are always exceptional — consistently impressive every single time. This is a place I keep coming back to, and it never disappoints. Highly recommended! 🍣✨“

“I just brought home a platter of sushi rolls from this place. The sushi rolls were delicious, and my family ate every single one of them. The Golden Dragon and Spicy Salmon Dragon rolls were my favourite. This place is right off the 401 at Markham Road.

Definitely recommend you try this place.“

“Easily one of THE BEST Chicken Katsu burgers ever. In fairness it is a thin patty but it is moist and crispy and flavorful.

Saw a video on Facebook and I had to try it. It did not disappoint. Don’t sleep on the curry mayo. It gives it the perfect little kick of flavor.

Simply delicious!“

“I love it“

“環境明亮乾淨，肉品好“

“I took my husband for a nice Valentine's Day dinner and the experience was great! The food met expectations and is definitely up there with Saito. The staff were very friendly and attentive as well! The only minor thing I'd say is that there were some fruit flies wanting to have dinner with us too so if that can be kept under control then it's definitely top tier! We had a wonderful experience overall, thank you!“

“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.“

“Tried takeout from Kibo Sushi and I was honestly impressed! 🍣✨

I ordered two different sushi rolls (don’t remember the exact names 😅), and both were so good. One had mango, which gave it a fresh and slightly sweet twist—I really loved that one. The other one was creamy, rich, and super tasty.

Everything tasted fresh and well-made—perfect for a takeout night. Definitely craving it again!“

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

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

“This is such a hidden gem for sukiyaki & sushi!

Their lunch set is such a value meal, for only $19.99 per person you get a meat, roll, veggies, udon/rice, and dessert.

Everything was so good & service was amazing!“

“Nice food.“

“This place is amazing!“

“Awesome place. I haven't had celiac friendly sushi for a very long time. I am very sensitive and get really sick if I eat any gluten or even something cross-contaminated. Tomo Japanese Restaurant was a great experience in terms of food, service, atmosphere, and above all safety for me and my son. People with Celiac and NCGS, Tomo is a really nice place with safe gluten-free food, highly recommended. :)“

“I really enjoy dining at this restaurant. The food is consistently good, and the staff are always friendly and kind. I often order the bento boxes but sometimes I get some makizushi as well. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and it reminds me of a place I used to work at. You’re all wonderful. Thank you :)“

“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.“

“Small shop packed with amazing food and flavors! Glad I stumbled upon this place. Freshly made maki rolls. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. She may not eat raw fish but she was still very encouraging for us to try it. We got one of her favorite the spicy garlic tuna and it was my favorite! Can’t wait to visit again.“

“Great food fast service“

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

“I had lunch here with my family and i like the atmosphere, child friendly and good food.“

“good services, highly recommended“

“This is a grab and go takeout spot but honestly the quality surprised me in a good way. I got the Salmon Avocado Plus and the rice to topping ratio was perfect. Everything tasted fresh and super satisfying.
The location is right in front of TD Bank which makes it really easy to stop by and for the price the quality is amazing. I went near the end of the day and it was still fresh and delicious which I did not expect.
The staff and the owners were incredibly nice and welcoming and were smiling the whole time. You can tell they actually care.
I will definitely be coming back and would recommend this place!“

“I came here for a work dinner, and I had the time of my life! The service was exceptional, the food was fresh, the atmosphere was everything, it was clean! All the food that I ate was delicious. I wish I got a picture, but obviously it was so good I couldn’t lol. I can’t wait to come back here again thank you so much, Masuda!“

“I went there for winterlicous. From the moment we walked in we were greeted by a friendly host and seated promptly. The menu is set for winterlicous with many choices to choice from. The food tastet great and our server Arisa was pleasant, friendly and fast in her service. It was an excellent experience and I can recommend this place highly“

“Greatest taste sensation 😋😋😋“

“Excellent food and service every time. Rachael has been our waitress many times and she is great.“

“Wako Sushi’s bento box is absolutely delicious, and their sashimi is hands down some of the freshest I’ve had in North York. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and high quality.

They never disappoint — every visit has been consistently great. If you’re craving sushi, this is truly my go-to place. Highly recommend!“

“I order here a lot. It's a small unassuming shop in a food court but the food is really really yummy, very reasonably priced. I'm so used to the deliciousness here that I forget how spoiled I am that when I eat other sushi I find myself disappointed elsewhere.“

“I’ve been coming to this establishment for a very long time and am never disappointed. Everyone who works here is very kind, the food is fresh and delicious and the environment is very homely. I always come back here for the best rolls. Highly recommend.“

“Taste and appearance is good. It’s a little chintzy on toppings. Seriously how much more does it cost to level up the bowl with more rice? Also add in let’s say 3 or 4 more cucumbers. It’s not a cheap bowl. I wouldn’t return because of this.“

“Got the dragon roll combo to share and it was perfect... Loved that there was torched salmon 🤤... Just enough food 24 PCs for us both and I was surprised that they had such a cute board for our rolls 😁 The rolls were super fresh and so yummy. This is always going to be my favourite place to get sushi...the value is so good and great quality!“

“This was my first time dining at CHO SAN Omakase, and it was a really nice experience from start to finish. The atmosphere felt intimate and relaxed, making it easy to enjoy the meal at a comfortable pace.

The omakase was thoughtfully prepared, with each course flowing nicely into the next. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced, and you could tell a lot of care went into both the ingredients and presentation. The pacing of the meal was just right, allowing you to fully enjoy each dish.

One of the highlights of the experience was the chef. He was very talkative and friendly, and we had genuinely good conversations throughout the meal. He also took the time to explain the dishes and share details about the seafood, which made the experience feel personal and engaging.

Overall, it was a great first visit with delicious food, a welcoming atmosphere, and an interactive chef. I would definitely recommend CHO SAN Omakase. To make a reservation, you can call the restaurant or text them directly.“
