“Quick service, great price and incredible food! The sashimi was huge portions and very fresh!“

“First time eating at this restaurant. I had the sushi bento box which was okay. My friends had assorted sushi rolls and a veggie yaki udon which they enjoyed. The green tea is complimentary but it tasted like warmed up green water which was disappointing. I do like the atmosphere and the friendly servers. It's nice for a family meal, with friends or a date night.“

“老板非常友善，出品各方面也很好，值得推薦“

“Good quality food. Fresh sashimi. Expensive though“

“This place is amazing!“

“Fantastic takeout place, affordable and delicious maki rolls. There are many specials where you can also get drinks if you buy a certain amount.

Some favoruites are the spicy salmon, tuna, and lobster maki rolls.

Will definitely come back to try more rolls, these are quite filling too and can definitely be a meal.“

“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 !“

“We've drove through Uxbridge to Lindsay for years. Finally, we stopped for a dinner date. O M G ? you know how to make my taste buds dance. The foodie in me knows that's not an easy task. And I gotta say the Spicy Salmon rolls by far are the best we've ever hard. They use real minced chilli peppers and chicks of salmon. YESSS!! That's how you do it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well done.“

“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!“

“I’ve been to another branch of this restaurant before, which had BBQ—this one doesn’t, just Japanese dishes. Overall, I found the quality pretty average. Some of the sashimi had a slight freezer taste and didn’t feel super fresh.

It was around $50 per person including tax.
The biggest surprise? The ginger milk pudding 薑汁撞奶—it was unexpectedly good!“

“1st time here and came with my 13-year old daughter as she loves sushi. Service was excellent - more of a take out spot with very minimal dining area seating. We took it to go and bought one of their featured combo platters to share and ate at a park behind the restaurant. Sushi was excellent, only downsides were the pink ginger, we prefer yellow, and the artificial flavoured soy sauce, wasabi was great though. Lots of cool fresh and frozen options to buy in store, as well.“

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

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

“Fish was fresh and got to eat take right in front of the chef. Food was prepared quickly but a little bit rough around the edges, however the most important part was the fresh fish.Went for lunch and ordered the Big Otoro roll and the daily special. Dined in and no one else was there on a Monday lunch which is expected. Place was clean and stocked with lots of take out ingredients.Don't think I need to come back here, yes it's fresh but being a downtown body, Kitaya ( l beside C&C near the science center) is a better option and taste equally as fresh. Plus they have great hojicha ice cream there.“

“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“

“This ramen shop is in a highly competitive area! I know what I am getting whenever to go to Kinton Ramen. So this place more than satisfied my tastebuds. I sortta would have told them to hold off the dressing on my dumplings. But other than that all is good in Ramen world.“

“This small place is very good. For a small shop in Markham they make a pretty good kale noodle poke bowl. The flavors are great. However, the portions are slightly smaller than I would like but it's a good size none the less. I also wish the seared tune bowls had more tuna in them.“

“It was amazing service and food. Love the cool cherry blossom tree. It was a perfect atmosphere for my date night. The Okinawa breeze cocktail was so refreshing and a nice amount of citrus. As well, definitely recommend Bakudan sushi roll and aburi sushi.“

“Excellent food“

“Casual, cozy place, not extremely busy, good food and great service.“

“We usually go to the Shepard location but since we moved to Markham we went here and we were amazed at the cleanliness and very polite Japanese staff at the location. Had a wonderful experience with really nice staff ! The sashimi was great and fresh and loved it very much!“

“I will recommend this if you loves sushi. I order a mango sushi it was little sour and it have lots of cucumbers in it but it’s still really good. Then I got a king crab it was ok. Then an avocado it was good I will come back to Osaka Sushi again.“

“Food n service“

“I always get their 40 or 60 piece assorted trays and they're always really good and pretty fresh. Also close to home and accessible.“

“Ordered the combo for 4 for the 3 of us. Decent value. The original ramens were good, decent broth flavour. Size could be a bit bigger. The karage, squid balls, fries and edamame were nice. Also comes with 4 ice cream or drinks. Service was very friendly. Restaurant a bit dark.“

“Very delicious udon and great value for their portions! I always have to get their Niku tama Udon and add the Kakiage (beef udon w/hot spring egg and fried vegetable fritter.) The chicken karaage and korokke are my go-to appetizers as well.“

“yummy“

“I would highly recommend this place for getting your freshest sashimi grade products! Alot of Japanese chefs that I know get their ingredients from Tsukiji Foods. It is also very convenient now that they offer delivery service to residential places! It's definitely worth a try if you're a Japanese cuisine lover!“

“I was intending on eating somewhere else but when I walked by and saw the ramen options I went in and ordered. I was NOT disappointed! I had the Hokkaido Pork Ramen and it was delicious! The pork was flavorful and well cut. The broth was delicious with lots of umame. I also had salmon sashimi and it was so tender and it melted in my mouth. Now that I know it's there I will go back when I'm nearby!“

“I came here with my brother because we wanted some sushi for dinner. We found this spot , and came over.

We ordered a lot of sushi, okonomiyaki, and some kaarage. For the sushi, we had Maguro Tuna, Hirame, Amaebi, Unagi, Hamachi, salmon, amd spicy salmon rolls. The sushi was a bit on the pricier end, but they were all very delicious!“

“Oh my goodness, this was so good! The staff was attentive, the food was great, and their special hand rolls that were made at the table were so good. Definitely recommend!“

“We started going to this restaurant since covid-19. Honestly there were a lot of choices in Markham, and Ikon was not the only sushi restaurant we ordered our food. But things have changed because we can hardly find better restaurant in Markham. There are restaurants that focus on lots of menu choices, some name their food with unheard titles, and some raise their prices to make you feel theirs are imaginative "premium". But Ikon comes in simple packages. They give you the max quality of food in simple menu and shockingly reasonable price. The chefs and the owner (tall woman) always dress in clean and simple outfits, and then greet you with a warming tone as if you were a good friend. As a bonus, take-out orders come with a Japanese soft clothes to carry your food. The whole package is simple and beautiful. Thr portion is bigger than many places. Sadly not many restaurants are like this. Disclaimer: I don't own any restaurant. I do not know any of the staff members and the owners. Japanese food is our family's preferred cuisine.“

“Solid poke bowls for a quick meal!

The Poke Box bowl:
- Salmon was pretty tender and fatty, tuna was decent as well
- Appreciate that you can do one topping substitute for no charge (swapped red onions for corn)
- Plethora of yummy toppings included, especially enjoyed the tamago which I think is pretty rare to find at poke places
- Can also choose your own finishing touches (sesame, furikake, togarashi, etc)
- The sushi rice base was a little too firm/bland, would have like it to be softer and seasoned more

At $17.3 for a regular, you get a pretty sizable portion (I was stuffed at the end). Also they make the bowl right in front of you, so you can get it in less than 5 minutes.“

“Friendly staff Good quality meats and seafoods“

“Very crowded for a good reason. The food is excellent at this sushi place. Dinner set cost $36+ each but in good portion. Although they put in regular salmon dinner instead of salmon full set dinner for me ($2 more for CD1 but with more food items like tempura, rolls, etc)“

“food is fantastic, will definitely be back for more“

“It's a family run business (I think) who are really sweet and very kind - I believe they are Japanese.

The taste is great my favorite of all times is the Sakura Roll, the cream cheese taste in the sushi with everything else on it (crap meat, lots of salmon, avocado, asparagus, cucumber) is just heaven. It's also deep fried. Many other special rolls options are available. I love the tampura shrimp and the yam - so good!

I highly recommend this restaurant.

The service is always great. I've been there three times but I regularly order through Uber Eats and Dashdoor. They gave me complimentary tea, water and Miso Soup 🍲.

Parking is always available every time I visit. Location is perfect.“

“This place has been one of my fav spot in Markham when I’m craving for decent Japanese food without feeling so uptight like an omakase restaurant.

You get to lick your own sake glass and they carry a decent amount of sake options, many of which you cannot find at LCBO.

We enjoyed our dishes and I don’t even get to take pictures for all of them cause they are all awesome and we can’t wait to eat!

Table side torch saba is also a hit!

Will come again to check out other items on the menu.“

“my favourite sushi spot in the area. The platter is a good deal, very fresh fish and also they gave you different kinds of rolls and sushi so you can try different types of sushi in one platter. Also love their donburi and poke bowl, great portion and fresh fish as always.“

“It’s been years since I have been here but it tasted as I expected. I finally learned on the lunch bento’s you can swap out rice for more glass noodles! Our order somehow slipped through, and they noticed and brought us a plate of tempura to hold us over.“

“Cool. Sake and sashimi for dinner.“

“Project sushi is a great spot for a quick lunch or linner. Service is fast and food is prepared quickly. The salmon set consists of thicc fish pieces that are dense and chewy. Delicious! Generous portion sizes at this place for a decent price. Restaurant is on the smaller size, interior is modern and clean. I love coming here, always a pleasant experience.“

“This has been my go to sushi place for quite a few years, and I've found it to be the best sushi on this side of Markham. The staff is very friendly, the restaurant atmospheric, and the menu expansive without being overwhelming or diminishing quality. Highly recommend this place“

“We felt like getting sushi takeout and was going to be in the area so thought we'd give this place a try.

Value-wise, I think the prices were very good. It was a decent amount of food with good variety (for a 40 pc sushi/sashimi/rolls tray) along with some of their seasonal mango-inspired sushi. It wasn't the best sushi I've had, but for the price, I think it's very good. (The mango rolls kinda fell apart on the car ride home hence why it looks that in way the pics.)

Overall I think this place is worth a revisit.“

“The man that took my order is super nice and always so welcoming. The food always tasts good everytime I go there but the last time I went I was blown away by the taste of the chicken upon soup I got. It was so tasty and was a good portion. Will be going back again for sure. Thank you kindly.“

“BiBab Express only had sushi available in take out containers when I arrived. I selected the spicy Salmon and salmon nigiri tray.The food stall itself is nothing special looking it kind of reminded me of a 90s food court type vibe, but the building it's in is also from the 80s - early 90s so no big deal.The spicy Salmon rolls were actually really good and I quite enjoyed them. They were not very spicy but they had good flavors. The nigiri was nothing stand out but for a cheaper take away place they weren't bad.“
