This is my favourite sushi place in Markham. I came for dinner and had a sashimi/sushi bento box. It had 1 roll, sushis, and sashimi along with choice of chicken/salmon teriyaki or tempura for $17.99. Bento box is very filling. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday. Service was great and food came out fast. Perfect for a quick lunch. The bento boxes are very affordable at $8.99 and you get a pretty decent amount of food. I was pretty satisfied. Everything was delicious. I had to deduct a point because the glass noodles were a bit too oily and I found a fish scale on one of the sashimi. The next time I go, I'll probably try their Korean cuisine. read more

A nice Sushi / Korean restaurant. Sushi was fresh and tasted good. Lots of Salmon in the combo, it was good but a little too much. Friendly staff made it a good meal. read more

Gal's is just mediocre. Ive had cheaper in Downtown that tasted way better. The problem is for its pricing, its not exactly high end, its more of the lower end of restaurants however with that being said, Most of the cheap eat-ins are alot better in midtown/downtown or hwy 7. Its not really worth the trip however if your in the area and you enjoy bland japanese or korean food. go for it. read more

This is a definitely a 3 star restaurant. Sushi are too small. Will not fill you like normal sushi restaurant. Service is pretty good. Just not happy about this thin fish sushi. Unless you like the fish otherwise you will feel $$$ at the end . read more

Worse take out service I have ever had. Waited 25 fucking minutes only to find out they grouped me with the wrong goddamn order.

I've been going to this restaurant ever since i moved up to Markham. I love how they have both Korean and Japanese dishes since my BF and I love both types of food. I like how they are so quick and efficient when you order food. I love their tofu soup probably the best in the Markham area. Their sushi lunch boxes come with a good selection and variety. Can't go wrong with L2 the sashimi box. This is one place i can always count on for good sushi. read more

Came on a Sunday for lunch with a party of 8. It was starting to get busy but the service was great! The food was really good as well and really good value for what you get. Highly recommend this place :) read more

The sweet potato noodle was dry and hard. But I like the spicy salmon rolls because they are actually spicy. Most sushi restaurants call their salmon roll "spicy" despite its not. read more

This is actually 1.5 stars. My family I have been a regular, long time customer here at this establishment. My extended family and I (10-12 people) would come here for most of our celebratory/holiday dinners. This used to be my fav spicy salmon place, but over the years, I have seen the quality of food decline ( very inconsistent in their flavouring - same item ordered separately on the same night tasted fundamentally different). But most of all, the service on my last few visits have been awful - inattentive, slow, and careless. There was a beverage spill that did not get cleaned up for the entire duration of our meal. Tldr: for this kind of price point, I expect better service and consistency in flavours. Feels more like a business transaction than a restaurant experience. read more

Regular lunch place we go to. Their bento boxes are fairly good. Sushi and sashimi here is not bad. Would definitely recommend and come back. read more

Love this place. We always get Sushi1 and a korean dish. I tried their Kimchi chigae and it was awesome. Ive never had their lunch bentos but the prices are great if you can order by 3 pm Please don't park in the fire route read more

Went for dinner on a Sat night. Array of 7 chefs behind the sushi counter was impressive. Negi Hamachi roll was amazing - perfect proportions of fresh fish and green onion, neither overpowered the other. SU2 - 26pc sushi platter was very well done. Food arrived quickly. Fish was fresh, rice was well packed. Tables had the doorbell service, but we never needed to use it. We'll definitely be back to try other menu items. read more

This used to be our favorite sushi place in the hood but n our last visit all four of us were disappointed. The service was still good and friendly and the tampura was ok cause hard to get deep fried wrong. The sushi and sashimi that my wife and I ordered was not good. The salmon pieces were thick, chewy and not the cleanest cut. I mean every peace had that skin/vein stuff on it. I eat a lot sushi and I know this didn't go down wright. We also got some chicken teryaki. That was like white chicken breast barbecued hours ago without seasoning and now served with warm teryaki sauce over it. Nothing was prepared with the least finnes. I expected much more from Gal. They used to be do good. read more

Service is great and food is amazing! Best part is, you get free appetizers! Price is a little expensive, but otherwise the food is perfect!

Visited this place over 5 years ago, it was nothing special. Recently my friend got me lunch from there I was blown away. Tempura was not soggy at all when I got it and sashimi was so fresh that it melted in my mouth. The special rolls they included in the lunch bento was good and unique. I ended up ordering lunch from them 3 days in a week.. I was just addicted lol read more

Been to this place many times. I've had both the Japanese and Korean food. I usually order the sushi trays with over 50 pieces. Sometimes, I order the marinated ribs that comes with rice. Yum, very tasty. I tried their bulgogi in a stone pot with rice, it was good but a little on the sweet side. I've also been there during lunch times. Sadly, the bulgogi in the lunch set box wasn't that great. Pretty disappointing. =( I ordered the lunch set with the Grilled Salmon, but the salmon wasn't that great. Compared to how the food tasted during my first few visits, the food quality seems to have changed. In terms of service, pretty quick. Once in a while they do forget what you asked of them- I.e. I asked the waiter to bring me a container and he/she forgets and I have to remind them. read more

I've been to Gal's Sushi for a couple years now but I've noticed the service and food quality are deteriorating recently. During my most recent visit, I ordered a bento box with rolls and sushi. The crab salad roll was over-filled with their sauce and the tempura crumbs that they put inside is hard and dry (seems like it was from over-night left over) and it tasted different than in the past. Anyways, my problem with them is when I pay the bill. After paying the bill with my cc, the serve (whom I think is called Cindy....at least she's new) said to me that "you didn't pay 10% service charge." I said to her, "what kind of services did you provide me" and she replied "I brought you the food"....wow....since when was a 10% service charge a "mandatory" thing, if you provide great services, I have no problem giving 15%-20% but when I know the food quality as well as services of "bring out the food only" is poor, I don't think any service providing business deserve the "suggested tipping". read more

I have started regularly coming here for a lunch box. The sushi is very good quality. and the value is great too - for 9 bucks I got some sashimi (8 pieces I think?) some nigiri (4 pieces?), 6 pieces of roll, some noodles, some rice, some miso soup and a bit of salad. (and tea of course). service is super fast (they have little buttons at each table to press if you want to order or get a server to come by). lots of seating so no matter when I come in I have been seated immediately. read more

This restaurant is always packed with people during lunch hour from 12-2pm. Their food is very reasonable and great for the value. Especially the daily lunch box, it comes with soup and salad. I like to eat here because it is closed to my home. read more

Gal's Sushi - If you like Sushi, try this one! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Markham, Ontario

This has become our go-to sushi place. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. We get the $30 sushi platter, which is perfect for two people. The service is always fast, and the servers are pleasant. They give you salads and potatoes while you wait for your food, which is a nice touch. After your meal, they bring you little bottles of korean yoghurt which is also delicious. read more

I was really upset ordering a sashimi box for lunch and there were two pieces of white tuna. I'm not the biggest fan of white tuna but the worst part was that in both pieces, there were bones in it. How do you have sashimi with bones in it? And in both of the pieces.. Also, the quality of the salmon was underwhelming. I came back one more time and had their Chirashi. That was alright. For its price I think was $17, it was OK. read more

Usually I would have written a review of flying colours for Gals considering it is a favourite for me and my girlfriend, but tonight We went out for a late night bite and got a couple roles. From when we had sat down to the end our server was never close by to take drink orders or to check on the meal. After we were done we waited about 25 minuets before she even brought us the bill, by the time she had brought the card reader, I was not to impressed with the service so I decided not to tip. When she had printed the receipt,she stopped us on our way out and told us "the original cost did not include a tip; how will you pay cash or charge.?" After those very rude words I just just put down about 2 dollars of pocket change and left. This was my absolute favourite Sushi restaurant but now.. I think it's safe to say we'll be taking take out. read more

fantastic cheap lunches, this is probably my most frequently visited sushi place. mind you the quality is decent but this isn't a high end sushi joint or anything but to me it's better than a lot of sushi offerings in markham. you get what you pay for and thats good enough for me! prompt quick service, never had an issue with them. read more

Horrible experience. I was craving something and it just ruined my night when I did not get it. Ordered rolls with the rest of our dinner. Our food arrived, but no rolls. Waited for 20 mins to ask about them and was told "Sorry, I forgot to order them"... fine... mistakes happen. Was told they would be right out. 15 mins later, we asked again if they were ready. Was then told "Sorry, they were not ordered". The waitress then offered to order them now and get them to go for us. What kind of solution is that? I don't know about you, but I like to eat all of my dinner at once. Will never be going back. read more

This is probably the most cost efficient restaurant I've been in a long while. I Love their lunch bento box, tried their Sashimi lunch and it's absolutely amazing. The proportion and mixture of Sashimi, rice, vegetables and sushi are just right for me. Cannot expect anything more, must try! read more

Hands down the best prices and best tasting sushi in the GTA! I've been going to Gal's for years and years, love getting a seat at the sushi bar where I can see the sushi chefs work their magic. The A7 platter is a great value! Super fresh, very flavorful. Don't change! read more

I love this place! It's always busy, which I feel says a lot about a restaurant. They are super quick to seat you, and super quick to serve you. The menu is great, and I feel you get a good value for your money. I highly recommend their lunch menu boxes - great value. Highly recommend the Tempura Chicken Box & Veggie Roll box, 2 of my fav's. Try out the edamame, excellent. Happy that I work so close by, I get take out once in awhile, and it's usually ready in 5 minutes. Highly recommend! read more

Food: 2/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Price: 3/5 I've heard many good things about Gal's Sushi, so I decided to try it once myself. I absolutely love Japanese (and Korean) food, so I'm always up for trying new restaurants. Atmosphere: The restaurant was packed on a weekday, so it was incredibly loud. I went with a friend and I was almost literally shouting at him just to hold a conversation, while having to repeat ourselves many times. The tables were also very packed/close together, which didn't really help the situation. The restaurant setting is very casual, so I'd say it makes for a good family restaurant, but if you're hoping to go there to have an actual conversation and to sit and relax, you can definitely find better for the same price. I definitely do not recommend Gal's if you're going with one other person, as conversing across the table, given the noise, isn't easy at all. Service: Given the amount of customers, I'd say they are quite short-staffed. They have 3 waiters, one of which doubles as the host. Although eye contact was made with 2/3 waiters, it took quite awhile for a waiter (not even the host) to seat us. They were busy, so it's understandable, but some acknowledgement wouldn't hurt. They were prompt in taking orders and the food came fast, but when I needed to ask for the bill. I had my hand raised for the longest time, and two of the waiters passed our table and either didn't see or ignored my raised hand.Saying excuse me was out of the question unless I literally wanted to scream at them. Food: I think their selection and sets are wonderful, albeit a bit pricey. It's nice to have a mix of Korean and Japanese, especially since there are a lot of people who may not like raw fish. I love both, but ended up ordering the Teriyaki Salmon dinner set and some Uni Sushi (sea urchin). The dinner set had rice, grilled salmon, maki, sushi, and sashimi, and it came with miso soup and a green salad. Very nice variety. The uni was reasonably priced. The quality of the dinner set sushi/sashimi was so-so, in my opinion. I feel that they could've done better, and my impression is that the "good" pieces are saved for the sashimi/sushi sets. Unfortunately, I did get sick the next day (having eating nothing in between) and I'm an avid sushi/sashimi eater, so it was a bad experience for me. Given their good reviews, I'd say I was probably just very unlucky, but it does make it hard to want to come back after an experience like that. Price: The price is reasonable for the quality and variety. Everything was so-so, and the price is... reasonable. It's not amazing, but you might be able to find better quality for the same price, in my opinion. All in all, Gal's is a decent place, and I'd probably frequent it if I worked or lived in that area, since they have lunch sets that seem pretty nice. If you're going with more than 4 people, you may want to make a reservation. However, I probably won't be going there again, due to my bad food experience. read more

Delicious sushi bento boxes. I usually come here on saturday afternoon as lunch bento is alot cheaper than the dinner menu. I usually have to wait for seats but its worth the wait for good value sushi read more

The place is very busy during lunch. Good value for price. Good lunch specials available.

Walked in when it wasn't even busy. And was ignored for 10 mins. This is actually the second time we've tried to come here within the last month and they ignored us both times. I'll pass from now on.. read more

We ordered the Chicken Katsu Udon and Sushi Sashimi Bento Box. The soup for the udon wasn't hot enough and the Katsu wasn't crispy because it was placed in the soup (probably sitting there for too long). The Sushi and Sashimi in the bento box was pretty much average. Service was okay and they do get busy closer to lunch, although we don't know why because we weren't impressed. Perhaps it takes more to impress us now. The bill came to about $31 including tax and tip. 2.5 stars out of 5. read more

If you want cheap sushi, try it out. You won't be disappointed because it's not expansive at all. But that's it. They got all the typical roll and limited variety of sashimi. Lots of Korean food. This place is more of a Korean sushi place. read more

One of my favorite sushi spots. They serve salad, soup, japchae (yum!) and potatoes before your food so it's a pretty good value.

This is honestly the worst sushi place ever! I found hair in my sushi and I was so disgusted! Also, the service was so bad and really slow. It took forever for my food to come, it took so long I got so dizzy I lost my appetite. I don't recommend anyone to go to this restaraunt it's the worst! read more

I came back to Gal's recently and unfortunately as much as it pains me to say this but the quality isn't what it used to be from my last review... The sashimi wasn't as fresh. The rolls are still decent and they still serve plenty of sides thankfully. But I'm rating this restaurant differently and more accurately with my current experience. read more

The male waiter provided extremely poor customer service during my last dinner at the Gal's sushi on Highway 7 in Markham. This male waiter usually works at the cashier and was extremely rude. He provided very bad customer service. His behaviour is unacceptable. It was a very frustrating and upsetting experience. read more

The food and service overall is pretty good here. However, I suggest going for lunch because it's a better deal. The prices for dinner is ridiculous. Also, don't order takeout for takeout unless you have to, you don't get any complimentary side dishes like you would if you dined in. read more

5 stars for fast, friendly and efficient service!! It was my first time tonight and although the food wasn't extraordinarily different than everywhere else it was still good. Will definitely recommend and will be coming back! read more
