50 Best Japanese Restaurants near York

“We ordered take out with delivery. We ordered: Salmon Poke Bowl, spicy salmon rolls, California rolls and dynamite rolls. It was fresh, delicious, so well presented. I appreciate that each item ordered was packaged separately from each other - flavours and types of sushi were not all kind of blended together. Beautifully rolled and the flavours are awesome. The Poke Bowl was packed with fresh ingredients and was super tasty. Ample chopsticks provided as well as soya sauces. I requested the teriyaki sauce from the Dynamite Rolls on the side, and they did exactly that. Another highlight, it would appear that whether you are dining in person or ordering for delivery, quality and freshness isn't altered. I highly recommend this delightful sushi restaurant. #localguide“

“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.“

“We were immediately greeted by the friendly and patient staff who helped us choose plates based on our own preferences. The food was well presented, had incredible flavour and even more incredible texture. The tempura was outstanding. It was perfectly fried being crispy on the outside without being greasy and the crazy boy had an incredible slightly spicy flavour worth trying for the first time. The entire experience was amazing and left us wanting to come back for more. It is definitely a spot checking out of you are looking for good sushi in Toronto.“

“One of the better places I've been for a la carte sushi. Fair prices, and although it's not the fanciest place to go, the quality of the food is solid and the prices are more than reasonable. The reason I'm giving it only 4-stars for food is for 2 points:

They don't have green tea - odd for a sushi place, at least imo.

The rolls, maki, appetizers, solid. But I've never seen nigiri made the way they do, and perhaps its a bonus for some people. It's an unusually large cut of protein, twice as long as normal, it slides off the back and then some, and the rice portion is about half the size of what you would expect. As I said, some people may love this, but for me, 8 pieces of nigiri of that portion ratio, I couldn't finish it, nor did I overly enjoy it. It's more like an oversized cut of sashimi with a bit of rice.

The Maki, signature rolls, and everything else are awesome though, I would just tread lightly on the Nigiri.

I'd go again, but I'd order differently is all.“

“We had just finished our Statue of Liberty visit and we were looking for some lunch - Bento Sushi is located in a busy retail neighborhood on bustling Broadway. This was our first-ever visit to Bento Sushi. The sushi was good - not great. Noodles were good - not great. Service is quick.“

“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’ve ordered two types of sushi for dinner, both were delicious.
Delivery took in total about 30-35 minutes, that’s really important for me as well as good food quality.
Food was delicious, inside the bag was also free miso soup and side salad. I noticed some extra utensils and extra napkins as well.
Good amount of wasabi and ginger.
Definitely recommend“

“Very goid service“

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

“Amazing service and food. An authentic Kaiseki experience.“

“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!!! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Food is amazing but service is not good at all.
I asked for any sort of sauce and they said they only have hot sauce, even though i’ve had sauces there before and no matter how many times i asled for it they said they don’t have it.
Eventually when i ordered some sort of fish they brought me a sauce with it and i just said i want more of this. Don’t know why they never bring you what you ask for and insist they don’t have it when they do !!!
But again quality of food is great they have just done a bad job with hiring people who are attentive .“

“Good quality food. Fresh sashimi. Expensive though“

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

“Most of the food on the menu were really yummy. The dessert is the one of the best I had in the city - 100% must even if you are full. The miso was really really good! The food plate is pretty small and it can get pretty expensive. They have pretty decent sake collection as well!

Note:
must reserve before going. They do get pretty packed even in weekdays.“

“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“

“This is definitely my go to spot for some really good hotpot between the fresh cuts of quality beef lamb and pork to the good tasting soup and the ramen everything was super delicious anyone looking for a good hotpot spot definitely come here u won't regret it( we have the pork bone and tom yum )“

“Delicious take out! Pretty platter!“

“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!“

“Great sushi. Very fresh and tasty. Tempura was yummy and not very oily. Large portions. At the end they gave us three boxes to go without any questions or judgments. They even gave us a small toy for my 6 year old as we were leaving. Completely unexpected. Will definitely return!“

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

“I stopped by one afternoon with my mother for a little nibble and was pleasantly surprised. We ordered the Torched Salmonand Traffic Light rolls, and they were so fantastic that we came back the very next day for more.

The pieces are generous in size, incredibly fresh, and packed with flavor. The service was outstanding—everyone was so friendly and accommodating, which made the experience even better.

The atmosphere is a little rundown and the space is small, but the quality of the food more than makes up for it. I highly recommend this spot if you're looking for delicious sushi at a great value.“

“We won this from Oni poke's Instagram giveaway. They were super accomodating and gave us such an incredible quantity of food. The food was extremely high quality and delicious. The presentation was gorgeous and the serving size was extremely generous. Thank you so much!“

“Authentic Ramen experience with their gold standard of food and service. Clean, friendly, bilingual.“

“Absolutely lovely small sushi place. Arrived at ~6:30pm and had a 20 minute wait for a table in their small dining room, and it was absolutely worth it. Fresh and super high quality sushi and the sashimi is flavourful and nicely thick cut, unlike many other sushi places that pad their combo sizes with thin sashimi cuts. Service was excellent and the environment was cozy yet still private.“

“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 ;)“

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

“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!“

“Everything was excellent! The omakase was delicious, and every dish was beautifully prepared. The chef was warm and friendly, and the service staff were attentive and welcoming throughout our meal.

We celebrated my friend’s birthday here, and they made it such a special experience. We had a wonderful time, and we’ll definitely be back.“

“It was a truly excellent meal, and a unique dining experience. I felt like I was back in Kobe. Fantastic service and very friendly. Highly recommended!“

“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 food and generous portions! I've ordered takeout and catering, and the katsu holds up during travel. Next time, I'll have to dine in as the katsu must be even better fresh out of the kitchen. Highly recommend the chicken katsu burger and the fish katsu burger.“

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

“Best Japanese food Ive had in a long time. Friendly staff, good prices.“

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

“This was my third omakase experience, and this visit fell short of expectations. I originally booked because the restaurant advertises a $120 menu on both their website and reservation platform. I even called several times beforehand to confirm details, but no one ever picked up. When we arrived, we were told the $120 option doesn’t exist and that $150 is the minimum — a frustrating start.

The food itself was creative, with interesting flavor combinations and fish imported from multiple countries. However, I genuinely enjoyed only about half of the dishes. The head chef was entertaining, but his presence was brief during the 90‑minute seating.

Despite the rave reviews on Google and Reddit, my experience was just fair. For two people, the bill came to roughly $400 after tax and tip. Having tried many sushi restaurants in both Vancouver and Toronto, I found the value on the higher side for what we received. The quantity was generous with many sushi varieties — we left overly full without ordering add‑ons — but overall, the experience didn’t quite justify the price.“

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

“Food is delicious and service is fast. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.“

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

“This Sushi restaurant is very close to where I work and I’m so glad I found it. Great Sashimi and Sushi. Just had their kimchi today and it’s a winner too!!! Thanks very much for making sure my lunch is always an experience.“

“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.“

“I love it“

“Superb customer service. fresh foods“

“I almost don’t want to tell the public about how insanely good the sushi is here but out of respect to the owners, I must. Fresh sushi and Japanese owed which is hard to find in Toronto (mostly Korean owned). They import their Chu Toro Tuna from Japan and it is exquisite. This is a gem in Toronto, a must try.“

“I came here with a friend on a Wednesday evening. The service was prompt. We got a nice booth for just us two and the food was great. It’s a great location too, conveniently close to TTC.

I like that you can order through the ipad which also shows photos of the food.“
