We are regular at this restaurant. We normally get the platters or lunch specials. Sushi has always been so fresh and declious. My favorites are: salmon lover, sushi pizzas, green and red dragon, spicy Salmon rolls, spider rolls. Service is speedy and friendly. They always have my food ready to go at pick up. 10% off with cash payment is a nice bonus! read more

Service is still very courteous and pleasant but unfortunately the food doesn't shine. The sashimi tastes a bit fishy and not so fresh. And the rice on their spider roll seems mushy. Sorry folks. If you can improve the food, I'll be back. But for now, being the second try, it will be a nay moving forward. read more

I see a lot of positive reviews but unfortunately, that was not our experience with the food. Maybe we went on a bad day, but I'm not sure I'll be back to try it again. I'll start with the pros - we were warmly greeted upon entering and immediately seated. The servers were nice and friendly! The place was very clean and cozy. The whale chopstick rests were really cute. With respect to food, we weren't a fan. The Spicy Scallop roll looked great, but when you actually taste it, you'll find very little scallop and just lots of filling/crispy tempura bits. It's night & day from the one at Gal's where they actually put a good amount of scallop - it makes a huge difference in the texture. Udon was alright. Chicken was dry and broth was extremely salty. For ice cream, they offer Black Sesame and Matcha ($3.99 for a generous scoop). The Black Sesame was pretty good. read more

Food was above average. We had several sushi/sashimi dishes. We had a 40 piece assorted sushi/sashimi dinner. Service was excellent, since it was at opening hour, not too many customers yet. Ambiance was nice, quiet & pleasant. A great find for the area. Looks like a quaint family owned & run business. Will frequent here again. read more

I stand by my original review based on my dine-in experience but I wanted to provide this update based on the excellent service I received when ordering both delivery and take-out during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. I've ordered from Kato Sushi a couple times during the pandemic and each time they've done their very best to provide me and my family a fantastic dinner. Both orders contained special instructions (swapping rolls, replacing salads with soups, etc) that they honored. When I picked up my order they were organized and efficient to be able to give me my order quickly and safely. Their restaurant is also adjusted to keep everyone at an appropriate distance with adequate barriers and face masks, which made me feel safe. The staff at Kato Sushi was still as friendly and cheerful as I remember from my first visit. A little goes a long way and I really appreciate the the fantastic service, especially during these times. For anyone that is looking for sushi during this pandemic, I highly recommend Kato Sushi for takeout or delivery. You'll receive good food from a safe environment and from some great people. read more

A really nice surprise to find fresh and tasty sushi. I ordered the spicy salmon and tuna combo, sashimi lunch bento special, yam roll and the orangeville special roll. Flavours were really good. Prices were decent and comparable to Markham prices. Rolls were decently sized and not small at all. Sashimi was cut nice and thick. Rice was just right, with a balance of vinegar and sugar. Would definitely come back and try other dishes. read more

We are so happy to discover a good sushi spot in Stouffville! We've been ordering from Kato the last few months and have always been satisfied with their yummy rolls. Our personal fave is their Yam Roll! It's fresh and crispy and comes with a generous portion of yam tempura "fries" on top. Their spider roll is also another winner with the perfect amount of sauce. They're also very accommodating and take note of special requests (eg. tobiko on the side). Will definitely keep ordering from here! read more

Kato Sushi - a variety of sushi and rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Stouffville, Ontario

Excellent experience! Been to many Sushi houses around the GTA and this place definitely ranks near the top. Very clean place with simple but stylish decor. Service was super friendly and attentive. Food: very well constructed rolls with generous portions of fresh salmon etc. I do prefer a slightly more intense flavour of Wasabi and rice vinegar in the rice, but it was just perfect for my wife's palate. The meal was priced very reasonable for the quality, portion size and service provided. Best of all, its super close to home. Who new Sushi north of Markham could be so good! Will def be back!

Wanted to try a local sushi joint, Kato Sushi is also fairly new. Ordered takeout to give it a try. Our Order: Shrimp Tempura $8.95 Nice Airy Crisp Tempura Batter and it was still warm. I've had tempura at other sushi places that didn't use the correct tempura batter. But Kato Sushi's tempura was A+ Chicken Kara-age $9.95 It was not warm anymore. But their batter was good, still crisp and the chicken was moist inside. Soft Shell Crab $10.95 It was also not warm anymore, and wasn't that crispy. Still tasted good. It would be better eaten there when it's fresh. Wakame Salad $5.95 The salad was a decent portion. It was just straight up seaweed, but I don't mind that, because it was a decent amount. Aburi Sushi (7 pcs) $9.95 The Assorted Torched Sushi was not bad, but the size of the pieces seem small. Sushi, Sashimi, & Roll Party Tray A $34.95 Red Dragon Sushi Rolls & Spicy Salmon Rolls 16 pcs, Assorted Sashimi 9 pcs, & Sushi 9pcs. I like that they have a whole speciality sushi roll on the platter. Spicy Salmon was pretty good. Variety of sashimi and sushi was your usual, salmon, tuna, butterfish, etc. I didn't really like that they put raw red onions on top of the Red Dragon Roll, but maybe they ran out of roe for the top. Overall everything was good and fresh. read more

Freshest sushi in the Markham-Stouffville area! This place is great. Service is excellent. The sushi is perfect. The sashimi is always super-fresh. The wasabi is the real deal. The rice is done perfectly. My favourites are always the sushi party trays, or the love boat. read more

I decided to give Kato sushi since it is nearby. I opted for delivery and was impressed that the little tempura bits were still crispy when it got to my house. I got the crazy Kato roll and the salmon lover (A) set. The filing to rice ratio is great and the rolls are HUGE. The spicy mayo? Actually spicy! I think it was definitely worth it. Can't wait to order again :) read more

3.5/5 This is the new sushi spot in town and I have been driving by it to work daily and seeing them renovate. I also heard some good things about it, so I had to give it a try! The interior was bright and had some wood accents on the wall and ceilings. They managed to fit a good number of tables in a tight space. They place was pretty busy with just a few tables left. We were seated quickly, but because they are new and workers are still trying to figure everything out, plus it was busy, we had to ask for a few basic things like plates, soy sauce dish, and napkins. The food came relatively quick. We ordered a Kato Sushi Boat, tempura shrimp, edamame, and 3 specialty maki rolls. The food is good, the maki rolls are cut very thinly and not rolled too well. My pieces kept falling apart when I picked them up. The fish is fresh for Stouffville, but I would say you can find many places in Markham that are better. I wish they cut the maki rolls a bit thicker so that it is easier to pick up. Prices were also on the high end compared to other sushi spots of this caliber. Overall this is a good place for sushi in Stouffville, but I will probably go to Markham to get better food for the price. read more

For the price point, its good in the area. The rolls are bigger than the average you get else where. While sushi is a small decent size. read more

Kato Sushi - Sushi and roll tray - Sushi Bars Near Me - Stouffville, Ontario

Living in Stouffville, there aren't many good food choices around, especially sushi restaurants. We decided to try Kato because of the variety they offered and to save the drive to Markham. We ordered the agedashi tofu, spider roll and spicy salmon dragon roll. The tofu wasn't bad, except the tofu wasn't as soft as I had expected to be (it was a bit on the firmer side?) the sauce was great though. There weren't big pieces of soft shell crab in the spider roll (and it was $15!). Most of the soft shell crab pieces were just thickly battered. We found that the sushi pieces just broke apart when being picked up by chopsticks (either the sushi rice was a bit too mushy, or it wasn't tightly rolled). They also offer a 10% cash discount for take out orders. I might try it out again if it wasn't so expensive $39.95 for 2 rolls and the tofu, or if they worked on their rice/tightness of roll...and maybe if I was really craving for sushi and didn't want to drive far. read more

For value, this place is good. We ordered the family boat and it was plenty of food. A few things I found is that many of the combo and boats come with dynamite, red dragon or green dragon, which are almost all the same. Red is dynamite with salmon on top. Green is dynamite with avocado. I get it, they are all most popular but I would've preferred some variety. The rice in the sushi and rolls also feel like it needs to have a bit of improvement. The rice was more mushy and not grains stuck to one another. From a taste perspective, still good. I definitely ate everything! read more

Great quality, friendly staff and service and they are quick. We usually do a take-out order and they are great. Definitely recommend

We got the kato boat and it came with two rolls so we chose the spicy salmon dragon and torched scallop dragon (which is called something else, but I can't remember at the moment). It came with a lot of food! The rolls are huge. Spicy Mayo was actually spicy and the salmon belly that it came with was sooo buttery! The sashimi was great. It tasted really fresh. Tempura was good as well. Really loved the homemade tasting ginger. Would 100% order again! read more

I would say this place is between a 3.5 to 4 stars for sushi. I'm giving it 4 stars because it's Stouffville and places for good sushi within this little town thus far are few and far in between. We've been here a couple times and we've tried a few items including their dinner boxes, their rolls, and some appetizers such as agedashi tofu and tempura. Overall, their food is flavorful and good but doesn't quite hit the spot as a place such as Aroowha (see my other reviews) would per se. For "Korean style Japanese sushi", they are good. One thing I'm perplexed about is their persistent refusal to accomodate my "no cucumber" requests. The servers would write it down as a note and the sushi chef would always put cucumbers in. All these times, I've been too nice to send it back but three times of ignoring this request is a bit too much and I just might send it back next time. Otherwise, finally - a good quick sushi place to go to for weeknights when I don't want to go to Markham! Yay - progressive Stouffville!! read more

Wanted to try this place for awhile. We ordered at 5pm on a Saturday and were advised that it would be ready in 1 hour. We arrived at 6pm and it was ready for pick up! Glad that I was on time and we didn't have to wait. We brought it home and it was delicious except for the tuna which was not as fresh as the rest of the items. The rolls were okay but it was over filled with cucumbers to make it look larger. We did enjoy our meal and would order again from here. read more

Kato Sushi - Sushi, sashimi, rolls platter B $55.95+taxes - Sushi Bars Near Me - Stouffville, Ontario

Visited a few times since not too many choices in a small town. Lunch boxes are just ok for $13-15. For sure it is over price for the quality and amount of food. Only a thin slice of salmon with under cooked veggies, room temperature gyoza and steamed rice for $15. Don't bother to eat the maki come with it. It is deep fried lose pieces of fish. Also $15 for a spider rolls which only with a little soft shell carb. I believe their food cost is so low. Two stars for the service. The menu price are ok if they improve the quality and portion size. Otherwise, the restaurant won't last too long! Customers are not stupid in Stouffville!! No easy money! Good luck!! read more

Kato Sushi is one of the better restaurants to eat at in Stouffville. The inside is small but welcoming and the staff are very friendly. Before the pandemic I had been several times and found their sushi to be fresh and their prices are very reasonable. This is not an all you can eat place but personally I think it's better quality than the AYCE place in Stouffville. The last time I went to eat inside the restaurant I got the Love Boat which is a set meal for 2 people for $45.95. It comes with salad, miso soup, mixed tempura, edamame, assorted sashimi, sushi and rolls. Plenty of food for two people and very tasty! During the pandemic I have ordered takeout many times and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The takoyaki they make is one of my favourites and I find their lunch specials have lots of choice and are very reasonably priced. Would eat here again and often recommend to people looking for some nice sushi in Stouffville. read more

Went here last night for takeout. I didn't stay but the decor is cute, the people were very nice, and the sushi was great. I got a medium sashimi platter, which looked great and the fish melted in my mouth. I am not a sushi connoisseur but you don't get this nice quality at a grocery store. I definitely will be ordering again. read more

Came here for lunch, rolls were huge! Pretty good considering there aren't many options in Stouffville but a bit on the pricier side compared to places in Markham. Will try again! read more

Had such a lovely experience there! Everything we ordered was delicious and they make their ginger in house which you can definitely taste.

Very good sushi! Much better than the "other" place in Stouffville. Friendly service,great pricing. My new go to spot!.

Best place we have been able to find in this area, well worth the drive from uxbridge

It a neat and tidy place for Shushi! It's own by Koren so do not except a real taste of Japanese. By the way if we did not want to drive to Markham, especially in cold weather, we mostly will go there because it's so convenient and staff are friendly, stuff were reasonable and good. read more
