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 was so pleasantly surprised that there's such a wonderful Japanese restaurant not far from me.
The food is fresh, delicious, and served in a manner pleased for eyes.
The portion is great and prices are reasonable.
To be full, you need just 20-30 dollars per person.
I am not even say how friendly staff are. They are here for help, but not overwhelmed you by their presence.
It was great experience for me and my family. I am so appreciated for spending time in Goen.“

“Delicious food and generous servings. The sushi combos really give great value for the price without compromising on quality. I personally recommend the sushi deluxe combo.

There’s no dine in available, but there’s a nearby park where you can bring your food.“

“We have been enjoying the food at Asa Sushi for 10 years on a weekly basis. It is a family owned business specializing in Japanese cuisine, we especially enjoy the Salmon Lovers Entres and the Fusion Rolls. The food is generous, fresh and presented nicely either in-house or as delivery options. The owners are very customer focused, accommodating and service is exceptional. We consider this our go-to Sushi place and are very fortunate they are in our neighborhood.“

“This used to be one of my favorite places that I would visit regularly at least once every week. However, this time I was a bit disappointed as some of the sushi rice felt quite dry, especially in my favorite roll, the California Crunchy Roll.

Smoked spicy salmon sushi was fresh and delicious as always. I also felt like they might have changed their spicy mayo, which slightly affected the overall taste.

Overall, it’s still a place I usually enjoy, but this visit wasn’t quite at the same level as before.“

“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“

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

“What an extraordinary experience.

We were fortunate enough to experience Chef Daisuke’s remarkable culinary artistry before the restaurant’s final service. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality by a team whose attentiveness and kindness set the tone for the entire evening.

The menu was exceptional. Each course seemed to surpass the last, showcasing thoughtful technique, beautiful balance, and impeccable ingredients. Every bite was memorable, and the carefully curated selection of unique sake added another layer of discovery to the experience.

One of the highlights of the evening was Chef Daisuke’s interaction with the guests. His passion, humility, and engagement created an intimate atmosphere that transformed dinner into something truly special and unforgettable.

While it is bittersweet to see this chapter come to a close, I am incredibly excited to see what Chef Daisuke creates next. His talent, creativity, and dedication to his craft are undeniable. If his future ventures are anything like Yukashi, they are destined to be extraordinary.

Thank you for a truly memorable evening and a dining experience we will not soon forget.“

“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.“

“Visiting Toronto and we found this hip place. Servers were nice, food was good, drinks were amazing! Sake Bomb!!! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“The great customer service my son received - order was mixed and you replaced it with no charges and we are grateful of your fantastic service - I am recommending you to all - and the food is amazing - thank you thank you thank you“

“We had a great experience at
Shinta Japanese BBQ and our server Chen was a big reason why. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was taken care of throughout the meal. He explained the menu clearly, checked in at the right times without being intrusive, and kept our table running smoothly. The food was excellent, but Chen's service really stood out and made the visit memorable. We'll definitely be back!“

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

“It’s a lovely spot with great service and a bubbly atmosphere that feels very much like Toronto.
The food was exceptional. 4 cocktails. The plum wine negroni was exceptional.
The plates are small shareable. Japanese tapas. But they’re all exceptional in their way. The sashimi was fresh and beautiful. The corn Karage is a must get. It’s sweet and salty and crunchy. My friend and I commented we could snack on that all night. The liver pate was soft and whipped. The beef tataki was good. But the stand out was the pork belly katsu. I could have eaten 3 more plates.
The bill was on the higher end, but well worth it.
It was a lovely experience and I’ll definitely be back.
Note that reservations are important and there is a fee for no shows. No shade, I get it.“

“Great service and great food. Really like this place.“

“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“

“We had a great omakase experience at Sushi Umi.
We reserved seats for the weekend noon seating. The omakase included an appetizer, 10 pieces of sushi, a hand roll, and tamago. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The service was excellent—the waitress was very attentive and always refilled the tea just when it was about to run out. The portion size may depend on your appetite; for me it wasn’t completely filling, but you can easily add a few à la carte seafood items if you still have room.
Overall it was a very enjoyable and authentic Japanese restaurant food experience. Definitely recommended.“

“It definitely worth the hype! We tried the beef hot udon and crab hot udon. The udon quality was very good, fresh, chewy, soft. The broth for each udon is different, both were very delicious. I will definitely come back to try more! Service was prompt and friendly. Heads up, Check out their Yelp page for virtual wait list to save time ;)“

“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!“

“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!“

“I celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday here, and overall it was a great experience. Sushi Kiwami is definitely a place worth trying. The service was very friendly, and many of the dishes were creative and unique—things you don’t usually see at other sushi restaurants.

Some sushi pieces didn’t quite hit the spot, but overall the quality and presentation were still very enjoyable. There’s a little room for improvement, but it’s still a solid place for a special occasion.

Overall, a good experience and worth checking out. ⭐“

“Great Pork Ramen and awesome service! ☺️!“

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

“Absolutely loved my experience at Dokkaebi! The food was incredible from start to finish. The bulgogi was perfectly seasoned and tender. The sushi bento box was also a standout, beautifully presented and super fresh. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious Sushi and Bento dinner.“

“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.“

“The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. Amazing service!!!!!!! Great portions, quality, and a really satisfying meal overall. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Absolutely amazing experience! The sashimi was incredibly fresh, thick cut, and full of flavor!! you can really taste the quality. The presentation was beautiful, and everything looked so appetizing.

The bento box was also great with a nice variety from sushi rolls to crispy tempura and fresh salad, everything was delicious and well balanced. Great value for the price! The rolls were huge and packed with fresh ingredients. I left feeling so full and happy:)“

“Our server went above and beyond. We ordered our meal and ge brought over complimentary side dishes. He made sake bombs for us to drink, gave us plenty of attention without suffocating us. Will definitely be back again. Sushi was fresh and delicious. Happy 30th anniversary!“

“IS AMAZING!!! SERVICE IS GOOD, FOOD IS AWESOME!!!“

“Delicious take out! Pretty platter!“

“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.“

“Coming here was a good experience all around - food, service and ambiance. The semi-private booths were a nice surprise. There is also a cute terrace in front. My friend had the teriyaki chicken bento box and I had yam/avocado rolls - all great tasting. Will go back for sure.“

“Take a moment and go to Gerrard and Broadview where this gem of a restaurant resides. Oji Seichi is a quaint little Japanese restaurant that serves the most delicious Chicken Katsu sandwich and ramen. The sandwich was fried perfectly and the chicken was so moist! We asked foe the tonkatsu sauce and mayo on the side and added it ourselves. Its the perfect sandwich.

Featured in the pic is their Oji Classic Shio Ramen. The broth is clear, savory, with roasted pork belly, a beautifully cooked egg thats still runny in the centre and noodles that are still a bit al dente.

Best of all, the staff who was here when we came was lovely. She was professional, friendly, attentive, and courteous. Made us feel very welcomed and relaxed to enjoy our food.

Keep in mind the space is small so there might be a line up but dont let that deter you. Easily accessible by TTC.

We will definitely be back. 😋“

“Great staff. Awesome vibe. This is a place where you go to take your time, enjoy the food, wine and company.“

“I love it“

“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.“

“We recently visited Atto Sushi and were honestly blown away. Since the new owner took over, the quality of the food and service has become absolutely exceptional. Every single dish we ordered was prepared perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh and delicious.
Not only is the sushi outstanding, but all of the other menu items are amazing as well. You can really feel the passion and care that goes into every plate. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are friendly, and the overall dining experience was flawless from start to finish.
Atto Sushi has truly become one of the best restaurants in the Danforth area, and in my opinion, one of the best sushi spots in Toronto. Highly recommended! we will definitely keep coming back!“

“The food is quite good and reasonably priced. The tonkatsu burger in particular remains juicy inside the cutlet, but is loaded with toppings and pairs well with their own house mayo blend.
Be aware that seating is bar style and limited - it is not the most comfortable place to sit.“

“We ordered a large order today for a party for kids nearby. The sushi was great, and the customer service was very good too. They had made a mistake with the order, and went above and beyond to rectify it and bring us the item quickly. Very thankful for the kind and thoughtful service!“

“Superb customer service. fresh foods“

“We haven't had such fantastic sushi in a long time! Nothing like window seating for watching the world go by while ejoying freshly made sushi and rolls. Best sushi we've had in TO. Rollstar Sushi lives up to its name. Comes with friendliest service and cash discount too.“
