50 Best Japanese Restaurants near York

“10/10
I've been a happy customer here since 2003. Excellent food! Great quality sushi! Never any complaints. I have gone here many times on dates and with friends. The couple that owns the restaurant are always really nice too.“

“I ordered sushi off Uber Eats. It was very fresh. I enjoyed everything,. It was nice that the restaurant could also accommodate gluten allergies. I was able to have a roll with crab because they offered real crab in some of the rolls, not just imitation crab. I would recommend this place!“

“Consistently great food and large portions. Very good for the price you pay. Service can be a bit slow, especially if the restaurant is busy as they usually only have 2 waiters working. I usually get takeout for dinner to avoid waiting so long for a seat. Bonus: 10% discount when you pay with cash for take out orders.“

“Asa Sushi is excellent. The rolls were very fresh, the portions were very large, and the service was very good. I have been to many sushi restaurants over the years, and Asa Sushi is one of the best! I will definitely be returning very soon.“

“Order through DoorDash a few times now. Always very fresh and delicious. Never had a spicy crab roll before and now I love them! Gonna try and come in person sometime to see what else the supermarket has. Their crazy salmon roll was very good. Photos are of their maki set.“

“I waited purposely to rate this place the day after we ordered. Had left overs and needless to say tasted even better. Ordered the pad Thai. One of the best ones I had in a while. The lemon is nice I added lime and threw more peanuts overall pretty good. Tempura shrimp, and veggies were really good. Yam,mushrooms, and broccoli. Lastly we ordered sushi. Every sushi dish was amazing and the spicy tuna melts velvety and silky in one’s mouth. Our new found favourite place will definitely order again. Thank you for a great experience.“

“Very goid service“

“What a wonderful experience! The warmth and hospitality of the Yukashi staff was only surpassed by the food which was absolutely sensational. One of the most memorable dinners I have ever experienced, and so happy I saved this one for a special event.“

“Had Valentines dinner there last night. The first dinner package was mainly sashimi but the changed it to sushi for us at a reasonable extra cost . The food was excellent and the wait staff were attentive and friendly. Will definitely go back. An extra was that the waitress who greeted us was Japanese.“

“Good quality food. Fresh sashimi. Expensive though“

“I’m a foodie who loves finding great spots, and eating alone at Haru Shabu Shabu was so much fun! The staff was really kind and helped me pick the tastiest dishes. The food was fresh and super yummy, and the place felt warm and cozy. It’s one of my favorite restaurants, and I can’t wait to come back! You should totally try it!“

“Quality was on point, great variety! Beef, pork belly, and seafood were all fresh.
Cooked food and desserts were also good, the caramel pudding was especially awesome. Service was efficient and they changed the grill frequently. For this price, getting all this is totally worth it. Will come back again!“

“exceptional tastes! they have unique offerings compared to other sushi restaurants in the neighborhood.“

“We had a delightful dining experience at Megumi Mazesoba. Their culinary offerings were exceptionally delectable, and the ambiance was both cozy and invigorating. Furthermore, the establishment is family-friendly, making it an ideal destination for individuals with children. The owner and staff demonstrated remarkable professionalism and courtesy throughout our visit. Based on this positive experience, we anticipate revisiting this establishment in the future. ❤️“

“Visiting here from Ottawa, we saw this place and thought I love tacos and my friend loves sushi ... what couple better. It was sooooo good. the food is exceptional and the service was impeccable. We suggested that they open a place in Ottawa. You won't be disappointed.“

“This place is great for karaoke, you can sing absolutely anything you can imagine. The rooms are comfy and the food and drinks are great. Only downside is it's rather expensive (XL room is $90 per hour, minimum $15 spend per person on weekends). Also they don't allow for separate bills or individual food/drink purchases, which is kind of inconvenient.“

“Kinton Ramen offers delicious Japanese ramen, such as chicken, pork and vegetarian dishes.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food was amazing, a bit pricey, but it’s what you can expect of a ‘tasting’ menu type of place. I would say for people that don’t like wasabi should ask without it as it was a bit too much for my wife’s liking. Definitely going back when budget permits.“

“KSushi is such a great hidden spot. I go with my girlfriend before archery practice, and it’s always amazing.
The sushi is fresh, delicious, and has that expert homemade touch you don’t find everywhere.
They have a great variety, and everything tastes spot on.
The staff are super kind, and the whole place has a welcoming vibe. Definitely worth checking out if you love quality sushi and friendly service.“

“I stopped by Kinson in the Bathurst and Dundas area and ordered the Sushi Roll Tray B, and wow — this place is a hidden gem! Even though I forgot to take pictures, every roll looked beautiful and tasted even better. The fish quality was top notch — super fresh, buttery, and clean-tasting. You can tell they take pride in using high-quality ingredients. The portions were generous too, definitely more filling than I expected.

What really made the experience stand out was how friendly everyone was. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with a smile and made me feel welcome. The chef even came out to say hello, which gave the whole experience such a personal touch. That combination of hospitality and excellent sushi really sets Kinson apart.

If you’re looking for fresh, well-portioned sushi with service that makes you feel like family, I can’t recommend Kinson enough. I’ll definitely be coming back (and next time I’ll remember to snap some photos!).“

“Amazing sushi! The fish was super fresh and full of flavor. The staff were kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere was cozy. Highly recommend the salmon and tuna – so delicious! It’s also a perfect place for family gatherings, meeting friends, or enjoying a drink with good food. I’ll definitely come back again.“

“Enjoy the main dish with 1 dollar drink promotion. I ordered Curry chicken rice with white peach oolong tea, it was really delicious! Will definitely come back!“

“Delicious take out! Pretty platter!“

“My go-to for authentic Japanese food downtown with seasonal menus perfect for the occasion.“

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

“Amazing food, drinks and service in a chic and lively atmosphere“

“We’ve been to DOKKAEBI multiple times as we live in the neighborhood. This was an awesome find and a great addition to the Bloor Wesr / High Park área. Food is always tasty and on point plus service is outstanding. Super nice servers, in particular the chef’s wife who I believe is one of the owners of the place. She’s always super welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend this place!“

“We ate here the last two nights, because we absolutely had to come back for more before leaving the city. I am so impressed with the quality of the food and the service. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in town!“

“Oji Seichi is a wonderful place, I am a regular customer and love it. Chicken Sesame is the best ramen! I love the spice for this soup and the toppings are amazing. My experience was positively affected by this girl with a ponytail. I would also love to say that the restaurant is clean and has a amazing atmosphere.“

“Got take out for myself and two kids. Everything was delicious we didn't even have time to take a picture of the food but we loved everything especially these little drawings on the boxes, we all went crazy for them! Such a special fun touch, will be back 100%“

“This place is phenomenal! Firstly, it’s the best sushi in the area. Not by a little but by a long shot! Trust me. Just try it. But also, the staff are amazing. I made a mistake by ordering something that I’m allergic to and they fixed it for me with a smile. Super kind of them because it was entirely my fault. I love this place“

“Absolutely bomb chicken. The curry mayo poured onto the rice is definitely the way to go it is SO good. First time having katsu and I am not disappointed whatsoever. Also it is a good 🍃 food sooooo do what you want with that information. Delicious 1000/10 food.“

“First Omakase experience, it was better than expected. Every bite was delicious! My favourite were the Toro/Tuna belly, Scallops, Salmon, torched items... I guess I loved it all. Highly recommend. Worth the quality and experience for that price!

This is recommended for open minded people who are willing to have raw, semi-cook and cooked fish items.“

“Great Pork Ramen and awesome service! ☺️!“

“We had a wonderful dinner at Kingyo Izakaya! The service was amazing, the food was presented in such lovely, creative ways and was delicious! We will be back! Thank you for a great evening!“

“We found this place after a night out and when I tell you this is the best sushi I have ever had I mean it!! Charlie was our server and he was so sweet and kind, we were all wearing nice dresses and he gave us aprons to make sure they wouldn’t get dirty. The sushi itself was huge and absolutely delicious and the whole time he would check on us and even brought us complimentary noodle soup and orange slices at the end of our meal. The atmosphere is so cozy and comforting, something you wouldn’t expect to find in the middle of Etobicoke. He even got on his tippy toes just to take some group photos of us that came out great! Also the amount you pay for the volume you get is absolutely phenomenal!“
