50 Best Japanese Restaurants near York

“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.“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming here since 2018 and this place has been amazing! The menu is quite vast and I find that the combos are the best bang for your buck! This family run and operated place has amazing service as well, with first items coming out in less than 10 minutes after ordering. I’ve been to quite a few sushi places in my time, and they hands down have the best shrimp nigiri and tuna. Highly, highly recommended. Extremely convenient to get to as well!“

“Good food at a fair price.

Been a few times now and I’m still surprised at the prices each visit.

My most recent order was the teriyaki chicken bento box which comes in at an astonishing $12.50! With other comparable spots pricing their boxes from $18-$22, the value seems ridiculous.

However, there are a few caveats to this price:

1. No rolls are included with the meal. Other restaurants typically include 4-6.
2. The tempura was lacking. Only 2 pieces and they were broccoli and mushroom. Would pay more for some shrimp or yam.

For the price it’s difficult to complain and I left feeling satisfied. If you’re craving some Japanese food at an affordable price, Sushi Zuki is the place to go.“

“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“

“Went for the weekday lunch buffet, around $40 per person.

The selection felt surprisingly limited.
The meat was fresh and dishes came out quickly, which was definitely a plus.

The Korean bibimbap was actually pretty good.
Everything else was just… fine.

Nothing tasted bad, but nothing really stood out either.
Overall it was a perfectly average Korean BBQ experience, just not one I feel like going back to.

A little too boring for me. 😭“

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

“Japanese Style Hot-Pot 🍲 💯

The food was so good. Especially we love the soup broth (sukiyaki & pumpkin soup). All the ingredients are fresh and the appetisers are freshly fried and hot. Also love the dessert their crème brûle is amazingly creamy and delicious.

I remember that day only one staff -
Janice who served us and all other staffs coming after 6. All of them are very nice and helpful.“

“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.“

“Good quality food. Fresh sashimi. Expensive though“

“Very friendly service and very generous portions. The takeout packaging was so cute and everyone enjoyed their orders. I ordered Sushi Combo B (with substitutions for shellfish), Roll Platter S, Hash avocado roll and veggie spring rolls, for 5 people. The sushi is affordable but still tastes fresh! Definitely would go back to try their other veggie options.

ps. thank you for the sodas!“

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

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

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

“Had an amazing omakase experience at Sushi Kiwami. Every course was thoughtfully prepared, and you could really tell the chef paid attention to every detail. The seafood was incredibly fresh, with each piece highlighting the natural flavor of the fish rather than relying on heavy seasoning.

Some of my favorites were the beautifully scored squid, the rich uni and crab course, and the perfectly balanced nigiri throughout the meal. The sake pairing was also excellent and complemented the progression of the courses very well.

The atmosphere was calm and intimate, and the service struck a great balance between being attentive and letting you enjoy the meal at your own pace. Overall, one of the best omakase experiences I’ve had in Toronto. Definitely worth visiting if you’re looking for high-quality Edomae sushi.“

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

“Had some of the best food I’ve had in Toronto! I will definitely be coming back.

We ordered the sashimi, corn kakiage, chicken karaage, cold-served agedashi eggplant, beef tataki, and taro toast. Everything was absolutely delicious, and you can really taste the high-quality ingredients.

The atmosphere was amazing as well, warm, cozy, and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you don’t want to leave because you’re enjoying the food, the vibe, and the overall experience so much!“

“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!“

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

“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 ;)“

“It’s been about 15 years since we last visited. I was surprised the restaurant was still in business when I decided to visit again for our wedding anniversary. I can see why Sushi Kaji is still around today. The service was amazing, food very fresh and ambiance was intimate. Thank you for making our evening special!!“

“Came here with my boyfriend yesterday, and we had such a great experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. Our server with the black headband and long hair (sorry we didn’t catch your name!) made the experience so warm, welcoming, and enjoyable. Your kindness and great service really stood out, and we truly appreciated it. We’ll definitely be coming back again and hope for you to be our server!.“

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

“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 BEST SERVICE IVE EVER EXPERIENCED!!!! We came here as a group of 6 about an hour before closing and felt super bad but the host/server was extremely accommodating and kept giving us free dishes (soup, kimchi) and very wholesome advice 😭😭😭“

“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!“

“We ordered the Dragon roll trio, but I have also come here for a bunch of their other rolls. Always a good experience and love the fact they are open late, definitely hard to find good sushi places open late. Always a go to when I'm in the west end.“

“Anytime I’ve visited, the sushi has been delicious. So many good options for vegetarians as well. Portions are great, and the service is splendid. You can either order with someone or off the tablet, which makes service very speedy. The restaurant itself has some very cute booths too that feel very intimate. I recommend!!“

“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!“

“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. ❤️“
