“Treat yourself to a warm sushi hug.

We’d been to Hug Sushi’s OG location years ago and finally tried this dine-in spot. Now I wish we’d come sooner! The all-you-can-eat dinner features their well-balanced house special sushi and are decently small allowing you to try more variety.

We enjoyed the hug roll (a salmon avocado roll topped w/ torched salmon + ikura), the crazy roll (with a mound of crabmeat), a BBQ eel roll and even a honey mustard roll for fun that somehow works. Other good picks were the spider roll featuring soft shell crab and the scallop sushi. The sashimi here is thick cut like it should be so you can taste real fresh umami flavours.

We were too intrigued by their sushi selection to try much else. However, grilled shrimp skewers were crisp & well-seasoned and the mango shrimp & salmon salads were refreshing starters. Tempuras were decent as well. For dessert, they have mango sago and deep fried milk which is rare for AYCE sushi but matches another good nearby spot in Maple. Everything arrived quickly.

So what’s the verdict? We’ll definitely be back again at Hug Sushi. Just overlook the lack of interior tidiness and you’re bound to enjoy too!“

“Ikon Sushi in Vaughan is an absolute gem and easily one of the best sushi spots in the area. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place takes its craft seriously.
The fish is incredibly fresh — every roll and nigiri melts in your mouth. The flavors are perfectly balanced, and the presentation is stunning. You can tell the chefs genuinely care about quality. Whether you’re ordering classic rolls or something more creative, everything comes out beautifully executed.
The service is warm and attentive without being overbearing, making the whole dining experience feel special. The atmosphere is clean, modern, and perfect for a date night or a night out with friends.
If you’re a sushi lover in Vaughan, Ikon Sushi is a non-negotiable. Easily a top-tier dining experience — I’ll be back again and again. Highly recommend!“

“I had a wonderful experience at EDO Japan Vaughan Mills!! I was helped by Joban. She was friendly and was very helpful with my order! I had a slight issue and she immediately solved it with a smile on her face. She was also nice to my kids. It is reassuring to know there are people like Joban who still care in the service/food industry. Please give her a raise! Thank you Joban for doing a great job! We will be back for some lunch again soon!“
