    I've liked Akane Sushi since it had a location along Highway 7. Always fresh, with lots of cold and hot dish options. We tend to visit during less busy hours, so not sure what it's like when it's busy, but we've enjoyed the company of the ever-attentive and friendly staff. This location is spacious and well-lit. The sushi boats here are an artful combination of sushi, sashimi, and rolls. The freshness justifies the slightly steeper prices. After all, with raw fish, there's always different price points in pursuit of quality.

    Came by for lunch as we didn't want food court stuff. Service was good as well as it seems to be family fun and operated. A little boy came by to say hi multiple times. It's a standard sushi place atmosphere so don't expect anything crazy but decent enough. We were comfortably seated in a booth style section. Would recommend giving their lunch specials a try 18-20$.

    Bulgogi bento box. Too salty for my taste

    My new favourite sushi spot currently belongs to Akane Sushi and here's why. Sushi & Sashimi Love Boat - 5/5 I got the Love Boat B which included 24 sashimi, 18 sushi, and 20 rolls. This is good to serve 3 - 4 people and is my recommended meal to order. The sashimi are pretty fresh and they give you a nice mix of sashimi from the standard salmon, tuna, snapper to more unique ones like bluefin tuna (toro), yellow tail (hamachi), and herring roe (kazunoko). The rolls also didn't disappoint as the rice is cooked to my liking and the sauce they put on the rolls were just the right amount. I ordered this 3 times now and each time met my standard. For $89, this is worth it. FYI: Their bento combo I would give it a 3.5/5. The bulgogi was quite salty which made it harder to enjoy. Service - 5/5 The people that work there are super nice and very welcoming. They do their best to make sure that you are satisfied with your meal. ALSO, if you go on the right day, they may give out salmon head on the house. I was lucky enough to get one and it was so delicious. The people that work there is what help create a more enjoyable atmosphere to have a meal. Atmosphere - 4/5 The one callout is that the place is quite small so there are limited seating. So make sure you call in advance to reserve, otherwise you may need to wait 30+ minutes. This is located on Yonge just south of Steeles. If you're craving for sushi and in the area, definitely check this out. Also bring some cash with you as there's a 10% discount on your bill.

    Akane recently opened. We came here after 10pm for dinner, it served us a special izakaya menu for late night. We chose from menu of skewers, sashimi, udon, bar apps and drinks. There are lots of parking in this plaza being nearby Centerpoint Mall. The music was pumping. It was decently busy with people in all of their booth seating. We had some pork skewers, kalbi, veggie udon, and karaage. While it was good, the veggie udon at $15 isn't remarkable, so I probably would skip that next time. I enjoyed the skewers and karaage the most here. The karaage reminded me of a shrimp-cracker kind of coating. The service is attentive, but they misheard our order and gave us two udon instead of the one we ordered (loud music), but we didn't bother correcting it since they brought it out. They also missed our leek skewer. It was fine since we were already full with the extra udon (we couldn't finish). Hopefully, they didn't charge us for the leek skewer - remember to check your bill!

    *** February 2022 Review *** Sushi | Previously Ichiban Sushi | Alternate location | Cash discount | Combos & Platters | LLBO Finally able to dine in! Amazing service and food quality as usual. Their signage still says ICHIBAN at the moment Clean and spacious seating area Ordered my hot pot of sake and Love Boat as usual. Service from Chloe, the cute gentleman server was great. I remember him from the old location. They were very kind. Chef also came to say hi. The Love Boat was fresh and nicely displayed. The hot soup noodle with tempura bits on the house was a nice touch. We also got a grilled salmon head and it was done to perfection. Overall I'll always be a fan and return. ************************************************** *** January 2022 Review *** Sushi | Previously Ichiban Sushi | Alternate location | Cash discount | Combos & Platters | LLBO Due to covid restrictions, this review is based off take out order. Dine in will resume by February 2022. New location at Center Point plaza. Alternate location: 361 Carrville Rd Unit 7A, Richmond Hill, ON L4C 6E4 Signage still says ICHIBAN SUSHI at the moment, will be updated by February I've been a fan of Akane for years and have visited all their locations. The owner is absolutely lovely and welcoming. The service is always great. The food quality never fails. Love Boat - Small $52: It has a variety of sashimi, sushi and nigiri. My take out order came with miso soup and salad. Uni has been. Out of season for a while but I got to have it in this platter. There are also fried taro chips in the platter too. The fishes were fresh and delicious. Overall I can't wait to have the dine in experience again at Akane.

    not sure why we got this on the house. Maybe a Xmas bonus? Salmon Head

    Taki is a fine dining Japanese restaurant located in the busy commerical areas of Richmond Hill…read more We recently had lunch here for a special occasion. The restaurant is super quiet and they offer great quality of food with great service, and the price is expensive if you choose to order sukiyaki set (expect $80+ per person). You can choose between sushi sets at different price level or sukiyaki from the menu. This suits the need of our group given some people prefer sushi but some couldn't eat raw food. They also offer a couple of limited appetizer dishes such as tempuras and unagi don. If you booked the sukiyaki table and want to order sushi, you need to call them in advance to notify which sushi sets you want. We tried the sashimi and sushi courses at $55, which included miso soup, 5 pieces of sashimi, 8 pieces of sushi (squid, toros, salmon, scallop etc.), handroll and matcha or black sesame icecream at your choice. The sushi is smaller than average, suitable for small eaters. The course is totally worth the money. I love every piece of sashimi and my favourite sushi include the scallop and the squid. Everything was super fresh. The dessert was also having the perfect sweetness level for me. In addition, we also tried the sukiyaki for two ($110), which includes mushrooms, cabbages, great quality of Angus beef, yummy tofu and udon. Again, all the material was with great quality and super fresh. I especially liked the sweet sukiyaki soup, the tofu and the udon. We also ordered some shareable dishes including chawanmushi, unagi don and cod. Cod was cooked to perfect (soft and flavourful), and unagi don had quite decent portion. It would be better if the unagi could be softer from my personal opinion. Chawanmushi was mediocre. Overall, I strongly recommend this restaurant to fan of Japanese cuisine. It meets different people's needs by offering both cooked and raw food options, and the sushi set definitely has great value for money.

    Got the dinner special $95omakase. It's a really good deal compared to their other omakase combos…read more This one doesn't have sashimi but I didn't miss it because the nigiris were all so satisfying on their own already. Was worried it wouldn't be filling, but it's just the right amount of food. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want a traditional Japanese meal, this would be my spot. The sushi chef was very friendly and approachable, but he wouldn't make you feel like you need to yap with him like other omakase I've been to in Toronto where they would talk to the customers a lot. The wait staff was attentive and polite. Overall really good quality sushi, service and value. Would come again! I also appreciate that they don't require a deposit for reservations and don't require to pick the set you want beforehand. Very clean and warm design. Felt like I was in Japan!

    Pleasantly surprised by this somewhat hidden gem of a Katsuya location! Although it's only a short…read moredrive away from Yorkdale, the spot is in a tiny plaza with a nondescript exterior and fairly minimalist interior. It was extraordinarily quiet when we came upon this place on a Saturday night. Nevertheless, the food was absolutely delicious and arrived piping hot and well portioned. As expected from this popular chain, the katsu was superbly crispy on the outside while still maintaining the tenderness of the meat inside. The variety they have on the menu - including various sauces, cheese options, and udon - will keep you coming back for more. The most remarkable aspect of this particular location, though, was the quality of the service. Our waitress was so attentive and sweet, patiently answering all our questions and never leaving our glasses even close to empty. We were offered free refills of the miso soup as well which was a nice touch! Highly recommended to anyone shopping at Yorkdale nearby - skip the overcrowded food courts and mall restaurants and head on over here!

    Ever so close to a perfect experience, if not only for an isolated circumstance that happened…read moreduring our time eating there. I love the concept of this Japanese fusion restaurant. They have fun, interestingly crafted meals. Two of which we had ordered are the Carbonara Udon $17.50 and the Brick Cheese Katsu $22.90. The meals are not only cool and exciting, but the taste of the food can also properly back up the gimmick. The Carbonara Udon has creamy carbonara sauce and comes with 2 tempura pieces. For the Brick Cheese Katsu, I ordered the Gold & Silver Katsu to be able to sample both the Cheddar cheese wrapped inside the pork loin (Gold Katsu), as well as the Mozzarella cheese which is the Silver Katsu. It is a great combination of hot, fried food with a cheesy, creamy filling. Service was honestly a mixed bag. On many occasions, we found ourselves having trouble getting the waiters' attention because the staff are situated at the far back of the narrow restaurant. It was a good thing thay the staff are very courteous. They attended to and took care of an isolated request we had during the time we were there. The menu may be a bit more pricey compared to other similar establishments. Almost all of the meals start off at the $20 range.

    I've been to Yorokobi a couple times before, it's always been great! Just as good as quality sushi…read moreyou may find Downtown or in Asian neighbourhoods in the GTA. We ordered this time the Yorokobi set for 2 and upgraded the sushi to brown rice for $5 extra and upgraded the green dragon roll that came with the meal to volcano salmon roll (which is one of their popular special rolls) and paid the difference. We also added a hamachi carpaccio just for more more protein for my SO because he thinks it might not be enough, but we were left super full. I love that the sushi wasn't loaded with rice and it was thinly included, we did mention that we usually don't like that much and the server said they can even adjust the rice content in the sushi.... We didn't confirm to adjust it but perhaps they went with it because rice is perfectly thin in the maki and less than usual for a nigiri, which is great because otherwise I don't know if we would have finished the meal. $5 to upgrade to brown rice for the sushi set that didn't have that much rice is still IMO a bit steep. Other that, the sushi is fresh, the special rolls are eye catching and tasty and the hamachi carpaccio was good too, LOVE the presentation. I think the best thing here is still their special rolls though! Server is so personable and made sure we were well taken care of. Only feedback I have here is the miso soup that with the Yorokobi set is way too salty I couldn't finish mine after a sip. Ambiance was clean with little Japanese decor throughout. They have a huge parking lot at the back and you can enter and exit from the back instead of trying the front as there is very little parking in the front lot.

    Hadn't been back for a while. Still a wonderful restaurant. Quiet, mellow jazz in the background…read moreand superb service. The fish is as fresh as you're going to get in Toronto (given that we are far from the ocean). Sashimi is expertly prepared. Thickly sliced. The torched butterfish was sublime. The two tunas delightful. Chopped squid and wasabi very tantalizing on the tastebuds. Only criticism: they need to use a better quality soya sauce. This was a slightly rough accompaniment to the sashimi.

    Had the opportunity to try out this sushi restaurant in North York and their Winterlicious menu…read more Starting at $45, it offered a three course meal dessert which was a great price as most things here are $20+ min. Went with a friend so got to try two different sets from their Winterlicious menu. I ate the following: Appetizers Chawanmushi - steamed egg Mini taco sampler Second course Salmon sashimi Yusuf salmon & double shrimp oshi Third course Sapporo style curry teishoku Sushi set teishoku- assorte nigir set with bluefish tuna, salmon, bream bass etc Dessert Hay Cheesecake Matcha strawberry tiramisu My favourite from the three course meal got to be the main courses. The sushi set had a variety of super fresh Nigri and sashimi, including bluefish tuna, salmon, bream, bass etc. The curry teishoku was so good and flavorful. This curry was served with a super tender chicken thigh with an assortment of seasonal vegetables ( lotus root, mushroom etc). This made the curry super rich and flavourful. Special shout out the Hay Cheesecake - not too heavy and sweet, yet still rich. A must try at this restaurant. Overall, this a very stylish restaurant, comfortable seating with great service. Parking is found on the streets or nearby parking lots. Despite Winterlicious being over, this place does serve fine japanese cuisine and sushi and would love to come back to check out their regular menu as well!

    Hay Sushi you're an All Star you've got your game on, well played,…read moreHay Sushi you're a Rock Star you deserve to get paid. That's right, I had to fuse some famous song lyrics into this review to make it as original and stellar as the food at Hay Sushi was! A simple Google search will tell you that traditional Japanese food, or washoku, is renowned for its nutritional balance; it emphasizes seasonal ingredients, small portions, and the ichiju-sansai (one soup, three sides) structure, which includes rice, miso soup, fish or soy, and vegetables, often eaten until 80% full. - Hay Sushi does just that! Everything they serve is understated yet undeniably hits the spot. I had a 3-course Winterlicious meal that was a delight with every bite and every course. Sometimes with set menus you might worry that the quality, quantity, or variety is less than satisfactory but this was far from it. Granted, they had run out of 2 items from their appetizers by the second day of Winterlicious but every last remaining item on the menu was different from the rest and offered a new dimension for your taste buds. The nori tacos are a testament to the fact that incredible things can come in small packages. They come discreetly served in their own little armchair-style pedestals, and guess what?, they do deserve to be put on pedestals as the blend of flavours and textures achieved with each one is truly remarkable. I had the spicy salmon nori taco and the veggies nori taco, both were unbelievable. So here I am wondering if the nori tacos were a one-hit wonder and the second course comes with it's full array of perfectly arranged 3 sides, main, rice, miso soup. I had the Sapporo Style Soup Curry Teishoku. This was not spicy but had a uniquely charred taste supplemented with vegetables such as squash, mushroom, pepper, onion, and lotus root. The chicken was succulent and even the rice was spot on. If you thought sides would be unremarkable, you would be wrong. The daikon, green vegetables and pickled cucumber, carrots, and raddish all pulled more weight than I ever thought was possible. The freshness and impact of each food item even came down to the ginger that was probably the most memorable ginger I've ever had and I never thought ginger alone could ever be that impressive. At this point of the meal I'm far more than 80% full, but hay, there's still dessert! And yes, dessert did not disappoint. I ordered a seemingly simple sorbet but lo and behold the sorbet was truly made with Asian pear and tasted like an explosion of the said flavour; not too icy, not too sweet, just right. If Japanese food truly prides itself on providing balance in nutrition, ingredients, and flavour, Hay Sushi should be very proud indeed

    The food was good, and portions are super generous. I appreciate how many options and variations…read morethere are on the menu. Got the original chicken karaage boneless - I appreciate that it comes with 3 dipping sauces so you can try various flavours and not just stick with 1 flavour like at normal fried chicken restaurants. If you're not in the mood for Katsu, there's other itemskke karaage, baked chicken , rice cakes, or udon. They also serve pizza from Pizza Maru which operates from the same premise. However, the menu was hard to read. The service wasn't super friendly - I almost felt like they were hoping we didn't dine in so they can focus on take out orders. We were the only 2 people that were waiting for their dine in orders and the food felt like it came out slow. The ambiance was quiet. Lots of empty seats. Perhaps it was the day we went, but even if the restaurant isn't busy the atmosphere wasn't as welcoming. Ie, it felt like I wanted to quickly finish eating and leave asap rather than enjoy my meal with my company. Limited parking spaces, but is free.

    (4.5 rounded up) Food: 5 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 5…read more It's been a long time since I last visited this location, and I was pleasantly surprised--it's now renovated and expanded to about twice its original size. Lots of seating is available, including comfortable 4-6 person booths. The only downside is that parking right on Yonge is very limited. The menu has expanded beyond katsu to include pizzas, wings, udon, and tteokbokki. The katsu was excellent with its light, crisp batter, and the special set came with a great variety of sides plus both rice and a small bowl of udon. The pizza and wings were also fantastic--we ordered the half-and-half pizza with the signature shrimbul (highly recommend if you like a little heat) and Korean bulgogi. The wings were flavorful and delicious as well. Service was decent, though we docked half a star because some drinks on the menu weren't available (only 2 out of the 5 beers listed). That said, we still had a great experience overall and will definitely be back!

    Tips: - Make a reservation, as this eatery can get busy…read more - This place has bento box sets every day from 11 am till 4 pm. You get a lot for a great price. On Sunday, I got together with two friends for lunch at Hana Don. Markham has a location that I have yet to visit. My friends come to this one at CF Fairview Mall often and recommended that we come here. I booked a reservation for three at 12:30 pm online. It was easy. I drove over to this mall, which has changed a lot. There are more eateries that face Sheppard Avenue East and are connected to the mall, but you don't have direct access to it. The Moxie's is still there. I didn't recognize the others. Parking was challenging. This mall was busy. I ended up finding a spot close to the former Hudson's Bay store. I then walked over. I entered the eatery and a man greeted me. I let him know that I had a reservation under my name. He found it and guided me to a table in the corner of the eatery. My friend walked in and saw me through the window. They came over and we chatted while figuring out what we wanted to eat. We got these items: - Chicken katsu udon - Yuzu matcha soda (me) - Sirloin set (me) - Chicken teriyaki set - Dynamite roll One of my friends had udon for the first time. It was in broth. The chicken katsu came on a separate plate. I had a piece and it was tasty. She loved her meal. The udon was chewy. It looked good. My other friend was recovering from a cold, so we kept things safe by not sharing anything with him. He got the chicken teriyaki set and ate everything up. He ordered a dynamite roll and we had his California roll that came with his meal. I was pleased that his appetite was in good shape. She and I shared the California roll. It was delicious. It had imitation crab and avocado. This place was generous with ingredients in this roll. It was fresh and satisfying. I got the yuzu matcha soda. It was heavenly. I stirred it up before I drank it. It had the perfect balance of citrusy, sweet yuzu with good matcha and fizz. So refreshing! I loved my sirloin set. The sirloin steak don was exceptionally filling. The steak morsels were flavourful and perfectly cooked. It came with a lot of rice that was perfectly steamed. This set came with sashimi mori. I loved the salmon, but the smoked fish wasn't the best. The veggie tempura was excellent. The eggplant, sweet potato, and squash weren't greasy. They were crispy and yummy. The amazuzuke was excellent. I got white radish cubes that were pickled in what tasted like yuzu. Each cube cleansed my palate. I need to make some at home! The miso soup was excellent. I loved the cubed tofu. The salad was okay. The dressing tasted bland compared to everything else. It needed more miso or something. The sets were a great deal. The quality was superb. They are available every day between 11 am and 4 pm. We were too stuffed to get any dessert. The ube tiramisu intrigued me. I'll need to find room to enjoy it next time. It was busy here. The downside was that we had to flag our server to get more water and the bill. Otherwise, everything that we consumed was yummy. I paid with a credit card. I tipped and was done. Yay! I used the washroom before we left. The women's washroom was clean. No issues. This eatery is a great place to catch up with friends over delicious food. I'd like to come here on a weekday and gauge the parking scene. I'd return to try more good eats and drinks. (187)
