I love Komeya for their poke bowls and all the variations they offer with noodles or with rice. These past few years, I have been on a ramen journey looking for new places to try. My daughter has been sharing her fav spots and we are always looking for new spots to try. Komeya came to mind for me to share with her to try out their ramen, which I have never tried before despite getting take out poke bowls for years. We decided to dine in. Warmly greeted by all of the familiar staff that have put our take out orders together and chatted with over the years. I love the cozy set up inside. They have tables and chairs or the window seating with the bar height stools. We ordered both the Miso Ramen and the Shoyu Ramen, Gyoza dumplings and chicken Karaage. The broth was amazing and full of so much flavor. The pork was so tender and all of the ingredients meshed so well with a great balance of vegetables, meat, broth and the noodles. We have already been back 2x. Komeya also has bento boxes, shrimp tempura and a great variety of hot foods, milk teas and cafe items. read more

Small space with limited seating located under the condos on Markham Rd and 16th. A selection of different flavor ramen or poke bowls! This menu has grown over the last few years. I first tried it about 8 years ago when they only sold poke bowls. Now they have appetizers (gyoza, karage chicken), specialty drinks and hot dishes such as ramen and beef rice bowls. My favorite has always been the kale noodle salmon poke bowl! I love it so much I asked if I can buy their kale noodle uncooked in bulk. Unfortunately he wouldnt share their supplier name and said they could not sell it to me that way lol. But i did find something similar in the J-town grocery store, just not the same :(. The light sesame dressing , little rice crispies makes the dish. It is served with cherry tomatoes, some sliced cucumbers, pink ginger, edamame beans and corn and of course topped with your favorite sauce. Ive also tried this dish as a rice bowl but prefer the kale noodle as that chew really makes it unique to the Komeya experience. The staff are always so friendly. Highly recommend. Prices have significantly increased over the years. read more

The salmon avocado kale noodle bowl at Komeya cafe in Markham is SO good. Fresh, light, and flavorful without feeling heavy. The spicy mayo takes it to another level, and the salmon tastes sashimi-fresh. Filling, satisfying, and healthy, this is my go-to order every time. read more

Haven't been here for a long time. Now we're back for a quick and easy lunch. The food, the price, and the service are all good. I had a baked chicken rice with black pepper sauce and it wasn't bad at all. The black pepper sauce was nicely done with good spiciness. Pretty tasty. The rest of the bowls were also nice. Good portion as well. Not much line up for seatings. Mostly takeout orders. Plentiful of parking space at the front. Conveniently located on Markham Rd. south of Major Mac. 5% discount when paying with cash. All in all, it's a good value Japanese ramen, rice, and poke bowl place in Markham East. Recommended. read more

On Family Day, I decided to break out of the house and take a drive around the eastern part of Markham. While parked in front of Panash Bakery, I did a quick search on Uber Eats to grab some takeout for dinner. I found Komeya Cafe down the street. I decided to check it out. It had a premium poke bowl with sushi rice that was a deal on the app. It had salmon, tuna, and crab meat. I got to choose my sauce and ingredients. I went with the non-spicy creamy sesame sauce. I also got tomato, edamame, cucumber, avocado, seaweed salad, and corn added to my bowl. I also saw the drinks that this place had. I was interested in the fresh litchi green tea. I have been consuming energy drinks and bottled water as of late that I needed a change. I got a large version of this tea. My order took fifteen minutes to prepare. By the time I was done getting my bakery haul, my food order was ready. I happily drove southbound along Markham Road to fetch it. This eatery was easy to spot. It's on the main floor of a condo building. I backed into a spot and walked in. At the counter, I had a nice man who said hi. I showed him my Uber Eats order number and he handed me my order. He hoped that I'd enjoy my food. I thanked him and walked out with my goodies. I had everything when I got home. I loved it all. The large litchi green tea was delicious. You couldn't adjust the sugar level, but it was mildly sweet that it worked for me. There were little bits of litchi that were yummy. The green tea was subtle. This drink hit the spot. The premium poke bowl with sushi rice was incredibly delicious. The fish varieties were so fresh. Heck, everything in the bowl was fresh and bursting with flavour. From the seaweed salad to the tomatoes (it was my first time adding tomatoes to a poke bowl for me and it worked), I loved this entire bowl. The sushi rice was perfectly done. I'm a fan. I'd return in a heartbeat for more. (53) read more

The food was phenomenal and exceeded my expectations. I personally got the torched salmon poke bowl with kale noodles--it was my first time with kale noodles but it was such a fun bouncy texture paired with awesome flavours and sides. Only personal preference for it would be that I would've liked my pickled ginger on the side rather than a clump in the bowl itself but I could have easily moved it myself prior to mixing. My parents had hot dishes; the black pepper beef bowl was pretty good. The black pepper sauce was very authentic and very black peppery--the spice level builds with more bites you take so be careful! The teriyaki chicken was very filling and flavourful as reported by my dad. The last dish was a chicken karaage appetizer to share amongst the table. Very affordable and very juicy, tender, and yummy! It's not the crunchy kind of fried chicken but it is still nonetheless fried to perfection and retains the juicy plumpness that I wasn't fully expecting! The service of the two staff were exceedingly friendly and accommodating in this small cafe. There isn't hot tea normally but one of the staff very kindly made some hot tea with a tea bag in a separate cup for my mom at no extra charge! It was really sweet and they truly do care for the service they provide. It was a pleasant environment and I could see quite a few take out orders. read more

Komeya Cafe - Salmon Avocado with Sushi Rice - Japanese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Cute little cafe with a very attentive staff. The parking lot has security surveillance, and they went out to put a note on our car to make sure we don't get any parking fines. We ordered gyoza, tuna poke bowl with kale noodles topped with spicy mayo, and tonkatsu ramen. All the dishes were delicious, flavorful, and fresh. Never had kale noodles before, but they were dressed in a creamy sesame sauce - amazing taste and texture. Really enjoyed lunch here and would recommend this place to anyone in the area! read more

Komeya Cafe - Tuna poke bowl with kale noodles and spicy mayo - Japanese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

3.5 stars I turned into the apartment complex where the restaurant is located but it must've been the back so I wasn't sure if I was in the right place. The restaurant is on the ground floor of a building facing Markham Rd. We ordered takeout upon the recommendation from a friend. I did not want to have raw fish so I went with the chicken curry rice bowl. I didn't realize it until afterward but the special on the weekend is half off a drink with the purchase of a bowl. My friend ordered the tuna avocado kale noodles but not torched. She said that the previous time that she ordered it the tuna was torched too long and ended up almost cooked. There's a choice of regular or spicy sesame sauce to go with it. It didn't take long for my order to be ready. It was nice that the curry portion of the meal was packed in another container. That way you could add as much as you like and the rice wouldn't get soggy from the sauce before you ate it. The only flaw to the meal was that the curry wasn't as flavourful as I had hoped. I liked that there was a few pieces of broccoli and a marinated egg. I definitely did not finish all the rice during the one meal and saved it for another. read more

Scroll down for the TLDR version This is a cute and quaint cafè besides some residential condos across. I've been to this place several times for take out and eat in and it is my to go pokè place ! Servers were extremely friendly and attentive and I love how fresh the food is! For the eat in experience, it feels like you are transported to a friends place for a hearty bowl of goodness. Today my friend ordered the salmon avocado sushi rice and I ordered the torched salmon avocado sushi rice. My only reservation is my torched salmon sushi rice had some walnuts, almonds and raisins and although it's nice to have, it didn't complement the dish well and at some points it felt like I was eating a deconstructed granola bar. Despite that, I would still come back and recommend this place. I would just ask for no nuts in the rice moving forward. TLDR: small cafè, attentive and friendly servers, FRESH and tasty bowls read more

Simple and fresh! Wanted to try the torched vs the regular poke style and it was delicious. The caramelised sauce on the salmon and tuna was good and made the fish 2/3 to 1/2 raw. I think I'm more a fan of the traditional raw poke. The veggie toppings all looked and tasted very fresh. Not too salty, the right amount of sauce on everything. The crispy tempura bits under the poke was a nice surprise too! We tried two different sauces, the sesame was a lot runnier than the spicy Mayo, which had the texture perfect for dipping. Don't get me wrong, both choices will taste excellent on your poke bowl! The brown sugar BBT, not as strong as Chatime, the bubbles were a tad chewier/harder, by the time lunch was over the tapioca pearls had hardened up. So if this matters to you, my tip is to order drinks after your meal. The owners were very friendly, parking was easy. No where there to dine outside, but walk a bit south and you can sit at a bench by Markham Museum. Would come back here again for another round. read more

A small cafe offering dining in or take-out. We had a ramen each as we were in a hurry that day. Service is friendly. It was interesting that the cafe sells small individual buns and treats. I was a bit curious about the origins of the baked goods. Otherwise, nothing really memorable stood out for me to return. read more

I had the spicy salmon tuna crab kale noodle and my dad had the Unagi bowl and the owner is very humble, my mom didn't like a dish he right away compt it from our bill and he didn't even accept a tip and I was forcing to give a tip and he still didn't want it, the kale noodle has perfect texture with the sauce, with the salmon tuna and crab oh my goodness to die for, I really love the customer service, very humble and food is amazing, very healthy meal, I can see why they have four stars, very reasonable price can't come back here again for sure read more

Some of the best poké in Markham! I had the Torched Salmon Poké and it was filling and so yummy. All you could ask for in a poké bowl. The worker was patient with my questions. I love that they offer the torched option! It's a unique option compared to other places that have traditional proteins. I will definitely be back the next time I'm craving poké... which will probably be soon! read more

Great tasting BBQ chicken poke and salmon poke with kale noodles. I'm not so much into noodles though this place serves great tasting food. Great for takeout. Normally not too busy. Highly recommmeded. Small place with a few tables. Takeout better than dine-in. Our kid's favourite ! We have long stopped going to McDonald's or other burger places. read more

First time trying the Poke at Komeya! I got the salmon avocado with sushi rice. Overall I enjoyed it and liked the cafe aesthetic. The salmon and avocado were good and went well with the sushi rice. The one thing I didn't like is the tomatoes in the dish however. I though they didn't compliment the dish well. Overall found it decent but not super memorable: 3.5 stars read more

I love the food here but they get ZERO STARS for eco-friendliness. Let me start with the food. They make these delicious kale noodles for a raw fish bowl. Pretty much a Poke Bowl but with noodles instead of rice. They do have rice options but I'm always going to pick noodles over rice. It's so refreshing and full of flavour, without being too heavy of a meal. I really enjoy it here and crave it fairly often. We love the special homemade desserts they make as well. Cute little nutty nougats that taste not too sweet. They have a little tartness from the dried fruit inside, which I surprisingly like. My only quip about this place is honestly the fact that they serve water with styofoam cups. Instead of just washing reuseable plastic cups or atleast using something that can be recycled, they use piles and piles of styrofoam. They also provide disposable utensils for dining in instead of reusable. For 2020, this is incredibly disappointing to see.. it's like everyones trying to take a step forward and they're taking one back. I hope this business takes more responsibility for leaving a smaller carbon footprint behind. At this day and age, I find this to be distasteful and unacceptable. read more

So refreshing grabbing kale poke for dinner because of the nice weather yesterday! There are a large variety of options to choose from that range from both oily to heathy meals. The kale noodles were really good, but the different toppings on the salmon kale noodles dish were a little unevenly portioned. The price was reasonable and I would highly recommend trying their kale noodles out! I had the BBQ Chicken kale noodles, it was delicious and came with many different toppings. I liked how they added crispy rice cereal to the noodles, it gave it a crunchy taste! read more

Saw the reviews for Komeya Cafe on Yelp so figured I'd give this place a try. The place was a bit hard to find and access. We were heading north on Markham and passed it as it wasn't very visible. It was late. This is a very small place. Very limited seating. The menu options are also limited. This would be my first time having Poke. I ordered the Salmon Sushi Rice bowl. All the food are in small little containers at the front. The bowls were assembled there. I was a little skeptical when I saw that they microwaved the rice to start. I would have hoped that it would be fresh from rice cooker. The bowl was assembled - no choice given for the toppings. When the bowl came, it was a like a surprise with the toppings. The bowl combinations were all very good - minus the cucumber ( I hate :) ). The salmon was good and the spicy mayo sauce which I chose was a good combination. So this was a very good experience for my first poke bowl. The other diner had the Curry beef on rice. I tasted, it was OK. Prices $12.99 - seems a little on the higher side but not extreme. I would go back. read more

A poke place in East Markham? For this reason, I had bookmarked this place for a long time and it was now that I finally got a chance to try it. I came hungry. I got the Tuna/Avocado rice bowl. It came in a blink of an eye. Ingredients were fresh and it was a great balance of everything. I especially appreciated the cherry tomatoes, the extra large rice crisps(!) and the extra sauce on the side. Although you don't get to customize your toppings like you do at other poke places, I didn't mind it because for the price and the quality of ingredients you're getting, it is a very decent bowl indeed. My only complaint was that the portion was not enough for me.. but I am a very big eater, and I was hungry. Nevertheless, this won't keep me from coming back to try their other bowls! When I was there, they had their snow cake out for sampling, which were essentially mixed nuts and rice krispies. But let me tell you, I could not stop myself from those free samples! Don't know why, the chewiness-yet-crunchy texture just had me going back for more! While I was sampling away, a customer came in solely to buy 2 boxes of them! Boy, was that a good demonstration for me so I followed suit. So yumz. At $6/box, for something I can make disappear in three seconds, I thought it was a little steep in price, but thought I'd show some support =) This cute little cafe is bright, clean and open-spaced. I'd say they're still trying to establish their identity in the community but it's definitely a strong start! It serves a good place to meet up. They have free wifi and parking is plentiful (for now, as many nearby lots are still vacant). What I would like to see is maybe more timed deals advertised (i.e. tea time specials or food & drink combos). Since I gotta eat everyday, those are usually some of the things that entice me to specifically visit a store. Keep it up Komeya Cafe! read more

Komeya Cafe - Tuna w/ Avocado rice bowl - $12.99 - Japanese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Ordered from salmon poke bow and bubble tea from Komeya on doordash and was really disappointed by both. The salmon poke bowl was fishy and the ingredients were not fresh. The tapioca pearls in the bubble tea was hard and not cooked thoroughly. read more

Clean, simple and fresh poke bowl. Service: You order at the counter and the server will bring the food to your seat if you dine in, very friendly guy. Food: The cucumber was cool and refreshing, the salmon was fresh (no fishy taste), the kale noodles were nice and chewy (similar to ramen texture), and the seaweed was light. The sauce was peanut based, and could get a bit overwhelming as you chowed through the bowl, but all in all, no complaints. Overall: Balanced option for lunch that was quite filling, but could get overwhelming as you finish the entire bowl. read more

Got the pork with runny egg rice bowl and the torched salmon with avocado rice bowl. I was really impressed! First of all, the pork rice bowl was full of flavor and the egg was the perfect texture. Would order it again. As for the torched salmon with avocado bowl, I think I would prefer just regular salmon over torched, but that's just personal preference. Most places that sell here kind of bowls don't offer a torched option so it's worth trying! The avocado on the salmon bowl was so fresh and good! And all the toppings blended well together with a good proportionate amount of protein. They should open a location downtown! read more

The café is located on Markham Rd. and Bur Oak Ave. It is underneath the residential complex with free parking across Markham Subaru. I came here on a Saturday around 1PM with a group of 9 people for the first time. However, the café was extremely packed and the wait would have been 30minutes+ so we left. The next day (Sunday), I came with 1 other person also around 1PM and it was surprisingly empty. Komeya is a small but clean and quiet café. The decor is very simple and they have natural lighting. They have bar style seats for 4-5 people and two small tables that would seat 1-2 people and a long table for bigger parties. In total, it can hold around 20 people at a time. You order/pay at the front and then pick up your order once it is ready. It is an ideal place to pick up and go. The Café offers espresso, bubble tea, slush, tea, Japanese desserts and pastries, hot foods (rice, udon, ramen) and Poké Bowls. You also have the option to add $2-$3 for special drinks. Cucumber lemon water/ hot water and utensils are self serve- there is a dispenser at the door and a jug at the large table. I had the Salmon Poké Bowl with Avocado and spicy mayo (they also have wasabi, eel sauce, spicy creamy sauce with sesame). The food was prepared efficiently. The plating and presentation showed a thorough grasp of modern trends. The bowl comes with small cut fresh salmon chunks, fresh ripe avocado, fresh cherry tomatos, cucumbers, seaweed salad and pickled ginger. Underneath was the salmon and sushi rice and in between was a layer of puffed rice. The puffed rice was a key point- provided a crispy and fun texture that added a light crunch to the sushi rice. Each individual ingredient was tied together with the sauce. However, I wished there was more salmon (for this price)- the ratio of salmon to rice was unbalanced. Also, I would have preferred the ginger to be served on the side like the sauce. The price is borderline decent for what they serve and it can add up depending on what you get. The quality was very good and portion was filling (if you are coming with an empty stomach). I would definitely come back to try their other menu items. read more

3 of us came here on a Sunday for lunch. It's a nice and new cafe with about 20 seats. Looks like it's mostly for takeout orders. And it's like semi-self-serve where you order at the cashier and then find a seat and the food will be brought to you. And you have a jug of cucumber lemon water for your group. The lady, whom i assumed to be the owner was super friendly and funny(?) and made recommendation. We ordered a salmon avocado sushi rice, torched salmon sushi rice and torched salmon with noodles. Im pretty sure you can pick a few sauces on the side because that's what she punched into the order as recommendation but tbh I think the noodles bowl already came with an eel sauce that is saucy enough. Each bowl was about $12-14 and the portion was reasonable. Anyway i ordered the noodles and thoroughly enjoyed it. The noodles were al dente and the rice puff thingy gave it some nice crunch. Overall the combination was quite nice except that I could use more protein. And the salmon was the smaller pieces too. The torching did make the salmon more fragrant. I tried a spoonful of the sushi rice and thought it's ok. I would pick noodles again if I visit next time. The washroom was clean and pleasant to use too. And they accept credit card and has quick WiFi. Overall quite a nice experience. read more

What a cute cafe that is so hidden beneath a residential complex! Again, I have to thank my fellow Yelpers for this recommendation...there was no way I would have found this place on my own. I absolutely can't find anything to criticize about this place. Great selections of poke, rice, noodle bowls and coffee/latte/tea. The owner/chef is Chinese and has done a really good job of creating these Japanese dishes. It was also very nice to have the place all to ourselves since coming at 10:30am today on Saturday morning was probably a little early for most people to have rice or noodles. The rice/noodles menu starts at 11am but since they had the food prepared, we were able to order anything from the menu. We got the Chicken teriyaki and Torched Salmon Poke bowls. For additional $3, you can pick any specialty hot/cold latte or tea. The place is small with a few tables that can seat about 20 people. It has a very a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. I like the music variety, with a mix of French jazz and Japanese pop. We will definitely be back if we are in the neighbourhood. read more

Pretty interesting cafe tucked in at the lower level of the condos. I ordered the kale noodles with salmon, I've asked for the salmon to be torched. The avocado were fresh, and my mom commented that there were lots of salmon sashimi. The second item that I ordered was the pork ramen, I find the ramen a little bland so I had to add chilli powder to add flavour. The salmon soup rice was not bad, large portion. Quite filling. My dad is diabetic so when we order a coffee, they didn't have any substitute sugar. Overall, not a bad experience, interesting cafe to try. read more

My colleague recommended Komeya Cafe to me because she knows I love poke bowls. I came with my boyfriend on a Saturday for brunch (~1pm). The cafe is small but seats are well-spaced out so it doesn't feel crammed. The tables in the middle were taken by a group and the counter seats/bar seats were taken by a small group that walked in right before us. We decided to order for dine-in as there were two small tables left (but people were coming in behind us). As we were ordering, the gentleman helping us quickly suggested one of us to sit down to "reserve" our table first. I thought that was nice of him :) Our order consisted of Tonkatsu Ramen, Salmon Avocado Poke Bowl, cold earl grey milk tea & a hot black milk tea. Total ~$30. Pay first, get order # and they will bring the food to you. Salmon Avocado Poke Bowl (with spicy mayo + eel sauce) - I thought the portions were huge. I had about 1/3 and I was full. All the ingredients in the poke bowl complimented each other so well. The spicy mayo and eel sauce were a great combination. Plus, they have the excellent lighting for taking photos of this colourful dish ; ) Tonkatsu Ramen - This was my boyfriend's order. He thought the portion could've been larger but he was fine after finishing my poke bowl. I tried a little bit and thought that the noodles were a good texture. The broth is also very light and I probably could've drank it all : P. I thought the pork could be improved on. Drinks - They were brought to me by a little boy, how cute! It's a nice family business. Both hot and cold drinks are given to you in take out cup (even when you're dining in). I actually prefer this because I'm a slow drinker so I was able to take it with me after our meal. The earl grey milk tea has a subtle earl grey flavour whereas I prefer it to be stronger. This almost tastes like a watered down version of the Earl Grey MT from Chatime. Overall, I enjoyed the food but I think the drinks could be improved upon. I like the nice, relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. I already know I will be coming here often! read more

Komeya Cafe is located at Markham Rd and Bur Oak on the first floor of a condominium building. There is limited parking and seating. I went on a Saturday evening at 6pm and we were able to get a seat fairly quickly. Service is quick and friendly. I ordered the salmon and avocado sushi rice bowl, and opted for the spicy mayo / eel sauce. The bowl also had cucumbers, seaweed salad, pickled ginger, cherry tomatoes, crispy rice (?) and was topped with sesame seeds. The rice was a bit more vinegary then I preferred but not bad. The fish tasted fresh and the combination of flavours was lovely. The crispy bits (not sure if it was rice?) was also a nice touch. When we were done eating, the lady working there came around with samples of their green tea and banana cake which was very moist. read more

Came here for lunch. Menu is nice and simple. A few ramen dishes and a few rice/udon dishes. Tried the curry chicken on rice with an iced coffee. The Sweet curry flavour was good and the chicken was nice and moist. Curry sauce was a little congealed but that could have been fixed if heated a little longer. My wife had the ramen which was pretty good. Lots of noodles and 2 PC's of some decently fat pork belly. Our little one loved the noodles. All prices had a $2 option for a drink to accompany your meal, hard to say no. Prices are fairly decent and portion is bigger than it looks. Would go again. I saw pictures on yelp of baked goods which I would have loved to try, but didn't see it on the menu or in the display case. Only snack available looked like chocolate bars they were selling. Maybe they stopped the baked goods or only available on certain days. Come if you hungry the food is good. Nothing really in the snack/appetizer size though read more

Honestly, Komeya isn't anything crazy special, but they're solid. I've been there twice now (a few years in between the visits), and the quality of food is consistent. I've tried both the rice and kale noodle versions of both salmon and tuna bowls and what I really like is how clean everything tastes. I never feel congested or that it's "too much" -- the fish and sides are fresh and the portion is more than enough for lunch. (With that said, the pre-takeout portions were a bit larger.) Komeya is the kind of place I'd go to if I haven't had it in a while. Good lunch option! read more

Komeya Cafe - Salmon avocado kale noodle with a cream sauce ($14.99 before tax) - Japanese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

It is ridiculously difficult to find poke ANYWHERE in Markham. If anyone knows another poke place, LET ME KNOW! Food: I got the SMOKED SALMON POKE BOWL (5/5). The salmon was fresh and lightly torched. The bowl came with cucumbers, avocado, Japanese seaweed salad, and cherry tomatoes. Very satisfactory poke bowl. My friend got the SALMON AVOCADO POKE BOWL (5/5). The sauce that they put on this bowl made subtle differences, so definitely worth trying as well. Location: A little far away from central Markham area, as it's on 16th and Main Street Markham. Price: The Smoked Salmon poke bowl was only 12.99, which is the standard price for poke bowls all around, whereas the Salmon Avocado was 10.99 Comparable: There is a poke bowl at IZAKAYA TSUKI that is sooo good, and made with purple rice, but much pricier, especially if you want to have it be an all-salmon bowl. Check out my review for them! Poke at POKE EATS is very good as well, but soo far. read more

I'm really trying to eat healthier during this lockdown and Komeya is a great option. We ordered take out and went to go pick up. (I've also seen them on SkipTheDishes & UberEATS) The restaurant does look close from the road but it is 100% open. I ordered the: 1. Kale Noodles with Salmon: The kale noodles were sooo chewy and had the slightly bitter aftertaste which I'm okay with. The salmon portions were fresh and satisfactory (but I can always have more fish). I got the creamy spicy sauce and I have no description for it lol but it went really well with the overall bowl. The bowl also comes with big chunks of avocado, seaweed salad, ginger, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. $14.99 for a bowl that costs around ~ $20 downtown. This is a must try if you're in the area! read more

2.5 star Komeya Cafe is quite new and welcome to the neighbourhood! I do like the location right across from Mount Joy Go Station and underneath a condo development. I was hoping this will be something like Red Bulb in Stouffville. People would able to get a morning coffee then hop on the Go Train/Bus. Maybe it is my mistake.... I should not have that much expectation for a "authentic" Poke Bowl?! I would have had a lower expectation if my Salmon Avocado Poke is not costing me $11.99!! It was at $9.99 but I guess the price had increased since their "Grand Opening" (Their grand opening banner still up in the store front) ? This cost more than a "real" poke joint would have charged downtown for pick your own protein, base, 3 toppings and all garnish. I now paying for a standard one with no custom alternation. But if it is good? After they microwaved my sushi rice, I was given a slightly warmed poke to go. By the time I was eating it, some of the salmon was a little cooked from the warmed rice. And why so much soy sauce?! I was a little confused! Maybe Markham people is not deserving to have something decent even if we are paying 20% marked up! I would not be coming here with the 4/5 star reviews from my fellow Yelpers. But I don't think Komeya Cafe is worth that high a rating. Work on improving your products and offers your customers a fair price and maybe in the future there will be a real 4/5 star cafe in this neighbourhood! read more

I came here on a Friday evening and I had to wait for seating (we were a party of 7). This place isn't that big so if you do come here, I suggest you order it as take out. As for the food quality, it is good. I particularly liked the Oyakodon (a bed of rice with chicken and egg). My wife ordered the salmon avocado and that dish wasn't bad either. We also ordered the Green Tea Latte (which has a lot of matcha) Where it loses marks for me (and I debated between a 3 star or a 4 star) is the price and service. Price-wise, I felt it was a little bit expensive for a cafe like this. As for service, they twice on separate occasions forgot my friend's orders. This business is fairly new so there is a bit of growing and learning to do. read more

I like this little quiet, cute and comfortable Chinese owned - Japanese restaurant. The service is good. After you order at the counter and find a seat the server will bring you your meal and is very attentive. She fills up your water and is very courteous. I ordered the torched salmon poke with wasabi soy sauce with a milk tea but they made a mistake and made mine with spicy mayo. The server realized it right before giving it to me but I told him I'd just take it. The dish was really good. It has a good mix of ingredients and flavours. They added crunch to the dish by adding deep fried tempura batter bits to the rice which was a good contrast to the soft textures of the rest of the dish. They forgot our milk tea orders but rectified it after mentioning it to them but I didn't mind too much during our meal. Even with the 2 mistakes they made I'd still come back here. They are kind people serving good food at a decent price. read more
