50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Vaughan

“Very welcoming staff, respectful and professional.
The food was excellent with generous portion of fish and the price are very fair. Seating space is limited if you are a large group though.
This is a very nice sushi restaurant, I highly recommend it.“

“A surprisingly legendary AYCE sushi restaurant up in Woodbridge.

Came here with my friends on a weeknight for the all you can eat option. Total ended up being around 40 dollars per person with cash discount.

Sushi and sashimi quality were fantastic. Everything tasted fresh, and my favorites were definitely the hug roll and the salmon sashimi.

I'm not sure if it was because the restaurant wasn't super busy or something, but the food just kept COMING. One of the only places that won't rate limit you either. If you order 40 pieces of sashimi, you're getting 40 pieces.

If I was ever in the area and wanted sushi, I'd definitely come back. I'm really hoping this experience wasn't just a one-time thing -- super rare to find gold standard AYCE sushi!“

“This is the best sushi spot in Vaughan! I’m a regular customer and I’ve been eating here for years now. The owner is super friendly and always greets you with a smile. Feels like home every time I visit.

The sushi and sashimi are always fresh and they package the sushi in cute little boxes! Would highly recommend the sushi sets“

“It is really delicious and fresh, we ordered spicy tuna, Filadelfia rolls and Tropicana rolls. Also the staff members were friendly and answered questions about the menu.

Vegetarian options: The menu includes vegetarian dishes.“

“Wanted to try this place out while I was in the mall to see how it compares to Teriyaki Experience. I purchased the chicken and shrimp bento box with the California rolls and dumplings. It was very good, but the chicken was a weird texture tasted more like thin pieces of pork. Not the usual slices of chicken, unless I was given the wrong order. California rolls and dumplings had a good and fresh taste to it. Overall it was good, little small in portion size for the price. In the end the rice, veggies , shrimp and sauce all tasted good.“

“We dined in Ginza (Maple) on July 20th and had a wonderful experience. The restaurant is very clean, and the bathrooms are immaculate. The food, as always, was very tasty, fresh, and prepared with high-quality ingredients. It was both healthy and delicious. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“This sushi was great! I ordered on UBER EATS and had some special requests and everything came perfect!!! Very impressed. Thank you for accommodating my cucumber wrapped roles!!!“

“Very cool to have a chef cook in front of you! The performance itself was not very impressive, but it's easy for me to say that when I'm not the one doing it. We shared the table with another family, which was fine. It was amusing to see the kids equal parts ecstatic and worried about getting singed eyebrows (no eyebrows were singed, btw, but broccoli were caught. That part was cool!).
The chef's cooking tasted wonderful. I went with some friends, so we were able to try a bit of everything. I got the chicken yakisoba, and it came with lots of noodles. The chicken and vegetables were delicious. I was certainly full by the end of it.
I didn't like the spicy miso though. It lost all the taste that I associate with miso soup. Mild regrets getting it instead of sticking with the one that comes with the meal. The cold salad was nice and crunchy for me, but not for my friend, so it varies.
The price is comparable to meals of a similar portion that I get elsewhere, and you even have the added experience of the chef, so I would say it's a pretty good deal for special occasions. I would take out-of-towners to this place.“

“Very goid service“

“Everything was perfect - will be back soon!!! Thank you for the birthday fun!!!“

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

“As a long-time sushi lover, I recommend this place. The fish and ingredients are fresh, and you can really taste the difference in every bite. The sushi was flavorful and well-balanced, with each roll and nigiri made with care. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better.

They also have table seating, which is great if you prefer a sit-down meal setting. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. One of the most fun surprises was the selection of unique Asian pops and ice creams for dessert—definitely not something you see everywhere.

I’ll absolutely be back.“

“We had a wonderful shabu shabu experience at this restaurant and their A5 Wagyu option is definitely a must try. It’s located inside the mall together with Shinta BBQ. Parking is available and they can validate your ticket for two hours. Staff are friendly!“

“I dined in with my boyfriend and friend on Saturday ($45.99/per person) evening around 9:30pm and was notified the kitchen will close at 10:30pm. We would have about 1h to eat as we were really hungry walking in and pretty full after. This is my third time dining at this restaurant location and the beef on the all day menu is my favourite! They only accept cash or debit!“

“Literally a hidden gem since no one really talks or post about it on social media. Spontaneously walked into TAKI Japanese Cuisine for dinner one weekend, and we were so thankful that they were able to take the 2 of us in for omakase dinner at the bar!

They took over the same space as Rin Sushi with the same decor and same layout. The waitresses who served us that evening wore traditional Japanese kimonos; the chef and staff all spoke in Japanese. Food and service were amazing!

We opt in for the Sakura Sushi Omakase Course (160)
- Appetizer
- Osumasi Soup
- 5pcs Sashimi
- Mushimono
- 8 pcs Sushi (the uni was amazing!)
- Tamago w/ anago
- Negitoro Handroll
- Matcha Mousse Dessert

They have an omakase promo right now for 95/pp, which imo is a pretty good deal for the quality and experience! I am actually excited to come back and check out the Sukiyaki dinner for 2 people (U.S. Angus & Japan Wagyu beef) for next time!“

“We were craving sushi, and found this little place. We ordered Takoyaki, dynamite roll sushi, and chicken karaage. The takoyaki is a bit salty, maybe because it has too much sauce, but the Chicken Karaage and dynamite sushi was really good! Overall, I would highly recommend this place! We'll be back here again for sure.“

“Delicious take out! Pretty platter!“

“I had an amazing lunch today at Michi
and I just have to rave about their fresh sushi and delicious dishes

The quality of the ingredients was exceptional, and every dish was packed with flavor.
The attention to detail and presentation was impressive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.

The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed.
I would highly recommend here to anyone looking for a fantastic sushi experience.
5 stars all the way!“

“Great food fast service“

“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.“

““K Sushi is a hidden gem for vegetarians and sushi lovers alike! The menu offers a fantastic variety of vegetarian options with bold, fresh flavors. Their sushi is crafted with just the right balance—using minimal rice and an abundance of fresh vegetables, allowing the ingredients to truly shine. Every bite tastes vibrant and delicious. Plus, the prices are incredibly reasonable, making it a wonderful choice for high-quality sushi. Highly recommended!

Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options like avocado rolls and yam tempura rolls.“

“Ordered takeout from this place on a weekday. The resto occupies the spot that Apron Cafe used to sit in.

My order was ready in 15-20 min. Walked in and was greeted warmly by the hostess who handed me my food.

I ordered a yuzu miso pork loin and an okonomiyaki.

The pork was crispy and juicy. The miso sauce was great! I get very similar vibes between this place and Katsuya. The menus also look VERY similar.

Okonomiyaki was tasty as well. I liked the fresh salad on top.

Overall, food quality was excellent! I do think it was quite pricey though for the quantity of food. Prolly wouldn't be a regular because of the price.

Will return to try some of their other katsu flavours!“

“This place deserves more than 5 star. It's very difficult to find a true Japanese restaurant and the quality is just a top notch. Words cannot explain how good this place is. You must try. There are only about 6 tables and making reservations are recommended.“

“Nice food.“

“Decent place to satiate my craving for sushi rolls and ramen. Ramen prices are around $13.99 to $15.99, and I take advantage of the sushi rolls daily special for $9.99.Portion size is good and they add lots of toppings, and the broth is tasty.“

“The quality of food is good and consistent and they are very reliable. It’s a hidden gem. We ordered 2 sushi platters, 3 dinner specials and 3 udons and the food was fresh and packed well and they got the order right.

So happy that they also offer a vegetarian sushi platter!

So glad we found our go to sushi place in the neighborhood!“

“Stopped in for a delicious snack and was treated to a 5 star feast worthy of a king ! Initially i wasn’t sure what to get but Steven walked me through the process and took time to explain everything in great detail. What great customer service and food that is second to none. Will be back !“

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

“Kibo Sushi is a hidden gem! The quality of the fish is outstanding, and the menu has a great variety of creative rolls. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a date night or casual dinner. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!“

“good services, highly recommended“

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

“I haven't had such fresh sushi like this since before Covid19. If you have any doubts, please set yourself free. These are the best sushi's I've had in a longgggg time. They are quite good.

A must try favorite now“

“Wow what an incredible place to dine! Firstly the staff is so warm and welcoming. They are very kind and treat you like family. Secondly best sushi I’ve had in all of York Region! Sea food is very fresh. Lastly restaurant is well kept and very clean. Highly recommend if you live in king city and haven’t tried. You’ll be hooked!“

“Very nice sushi place. Great food - I had the two dragon bento and it was very tasty. Came with green tea and miso soup. Big portion at a reasonable price. Great service as well, waiter was professional and kind.
Note that the restaurant is on the street side of the building, not in the plaza itself, makes it harder to find when you’re not familiar with the area.“

“Sushi one is an exceptional restaurant with quality food and excellent customer service. The atmosphere is cozy and we are always seated right away. There's a great menu with many affordable options and the staff are incredible! So accommodating and kind! I highly recommend!“

“It is nice small sushi joint. Service is good. Front ladies are nice.4 star because of rice they are using is not sushi rice. If you look closely, their rice grain is long as opposed to short rice grain. Also rice used for sushi is not fresh --> dry, little hardPrice is ok.“

“Best sushi place around must go“

“Had dinner here today. They take reservations! Our server was lovely. She was friendly and attentive and helpful.
I ordered two massive rolls. Each piece was huge. I either, stuffed the whole thing in my mouth and chewed while looking like a hamster or took 1 bite first and everything else just fell all over the place lol. Not a complaint though!
Both my rolls were yum. I was very happy with my food. Their miso soup is good too. Hubby ordered one roll and ate some of mine. I left feeling satisfied!
The only small complaint are the greasy floors to the washroom. I had to walk carefully so I wouldnt slip. Also, the front door could use some cleaning.“

“The quality of the food at this restaurant is well beyond anything you would expect in the suburbs. The fish tastes fresh and the rice is high quality sushi rice. Generally you have to head to downtown to get sushi/sashimi that tastes this good.
The service is suburb, they actually make you feel like you matter and that you are at a friends house.
Finally, for the quality of the food the prices are more than reasonable.
I also like that I can get Soju at this restaurant as I prefer it with sushi to Sake.
I can recommend Akane without reservation.“

“Great quality and amount of food for the price! Ordering is through the iPad on each table and each item has a short description and clear images for customers, which was really appreciated! There was a lot to choose from, and our food came out pretty quickly. Service afterwards was great too.

We arrived around 7:30pm and got a table immediately. The atmosphere is great, but it can get pretty loud with everyone talking + the English pop music blasting in the background. I do think J-Pop would have fit the atmosphere better, but the songs played were still bangers. Once we left at 8:15 ish, it was pretty packed with only one table available outside.

Nitpicking but they gave out plastic utensils but used real plates. It was fine, but I feel real chopsticks would have added more to the experience and authenticity.“

“Good food, small place and a good ambience.“

“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 read the reviews on this place and I really don’t understand the negative ones . Its funny how people are so quick to post negative comments instead of quietly addressing their complaints to the establishment. Its like any other service they can’t fix if you dont say something.

We frequent this place a few times a year at all times during the day and evening .never had a bad experience.

We have tried the grilled yellow tail jowls ,
Sashimi, sushi some rolls and Kalbi .

Food has always been very good .

Our go to place for Sushi when in the area .

Prices are reasonable.

I recommend this establishment.“

“Great service. Great food. And drink. And atmosphere.“

“Follow @bredgyeats for more food pics!

Quartet that sings in harmony, all bringing a slightly different tone while sharing a common aburi theme. The shrimp, salmon, tuna, and unagi are all torched to bring out their inherent savory aromas, along with a subtle smokiness and a rich mayo topping. The marinated sushi rice ties each bite altogether with a slight chewy mouthfeel, pleasant sweetness and a refreshing tang“

“One of the best sushi places hands down. The quality here is probably the best we’ve ever had in the GTA for this price point. Frequently come back here to dine in or order take out when we are looking for good quality sushi that hits the spot!“

“Tried the snow crab omakase. Everything is very fresh. Very good service 👍“

“I love this restaurant! When we are in town we make a point to visit it. The food is beautifully presented and delicious. This time we tried the new thing we tried was bulgogi gyoza and it was fantastic! You will not be disappointed!!“

“Location with lots of parking Friendly staff Don’t miss out on great Japanese cuisine.“
