We've ordered take out here before, but decided to dine in. It's really cozy inside and the owners are really nice and caring. Serving is nice and quick, place is quiet and relaxing to be at. We got our food fairly quickly after the other table got theirs (as they ordered first) read more

It's been a minute since I last had sushi. their Tempura & Bulgogi. It all came to about $15.99 (excl. tax). The meal came in a bento box container with: Japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), salad, bulgogi, rice and sushi. The also give you tempura and miso soup as sides. The bulgogi was sweet and tender. I really liked it. The tempura was crunchy and not greasy compared to other tempura I've had. The inside of the sushi had vegetables and shrimp. It came with a sweet dipping sauce too. The staff were friendly and there were COVID precautions in place. Check out @debeats_ on Instagram for more hidden gems! read more

HIDDEN GEM! Our family has been coming here for 10 years and it never disappoints. The service is great and is the perfect authentic Korean food. No other KamJaTang in the city like it. 10/10 read more

My best friend and I came half an hour after they opened around 11 and were seated in their empty restaurant. However, as lunch time was approaching, many more customers began to come in. I got the pop combo which consisted of a can of pop, dukbukki, and tonkatsu (pork fried cutlet but I originally thought it was chicken) for $14.99. Initially, I thought it was a steal because dukbukki alone is around $10 and with tonkatsu, it should be a huge deal! But the dukbukki was in a smaller bowl than I've had last time when I ordered it separately. It was still delicious with the chewy and spicy rice cakes. The cutlet was on the dry side but it was still good. It was served with a side of saucy penne pasta, a side of lettuce and other veggies, and some radish to clean my palate. Overall, it was a pretty good deal considering they gave us some complimentary noodles and soup with an abundance of their 6 side dishes. Services was great, our waiter checked up on us 3-4 times (not annoying) asking if everything was okay or if we needed any side dishes. read more

Probably the place you'd least expect to for a Japanese/Korean restaurant in a neighbourhood area but let me tell you - do not sleep on this restaurant! I've ordered takeout multiple times from this place and each and every time the food was amazing! I had to go dine-in to check them out and the food still did no disappoint. This is the definition of a thriving ma/pa restaurant that stems from hard working immigrants that can make amazing food. The lady that was serving us was so incredibly hospitable and kind - super generous and always saying thank you and being gracious. The food is 10/10 no matter what you get. The decor inside is very cozy and perfect for a meal with friends of family. I love how they have a combination of Japanese and Korean food, best of both world! Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

I decided to give Malado Sushi another try after seeing all of the newer reviews. I ordered the sashimi don and the salmon sashimi combo. Both were very filling. The portion are great here and fish taste fresh. read more

Solid Korean Japanese fare, generous portions, fresh fish and vegetables, flavours are spot on. This is a mom and Pop run joint, and if either mom or pop come to take your order be prepared to be a little patient due to the language barrier as their first language is Korean. We had a bento box, sashimi don which came with gochijang sauce on the side and was huuge, and the tteokbokki with cheese. The sashimi don was very fresh, fresh fish and lots of fresh shredded veggies. The tteokbokki was reasonably sized but delicious - manageable spiciness level and balanced flavours (sometimes other places make it too sweet) and it came with a perfectly cooked egg (often they are overdone) and cabbage and fish cake. Food was great but service was a little slow for refilling tea, but they were pretty busy on a weeknight. Overall I would definitely recommend this place for the food! read more

Definitely the go-to place in this area for good Korean food. (Their Japanese food is also good) They are closed on Mondays. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and is really quaint and cozy inside. They have large tables as well as small booths with roll down shutters/curtains for privacy. I have been here many times and have tried so many dishes but my favorite by far is their Grilled Mackerel and their Gamjatang (Pork Bone Soup). All of the banchan sides they provide are great too. Service is good. Appears to be small and family owned. The vibe in the restaurant is always improved by the small table in the corner with the old Korean guys drinking and talking together :) On top of the Korean dishes their Japanese food is also pretty decent, and I am happy their vegetable tempura comes with Pumpkin. Yum! read more

I love their food. They also serve side dishes. The bento box is loaded with different dishes. We like the salmon and the glass noodles. They have different offers every day too. The bibimbap tastes good too. read more

My cousins treated me and my husband to dinner this week to celebrate the new year. I used to come to this plaza when peach garden was here and ever since they took that out (and since my hubby and I discovered better food elsewhere), my cousins were raving about this place. It's my kind of vibe and I love sushi, korean and japanese - it was all in one. The place is super popular and they have amazing daily combos. I got the pork bone soup combo with mackeral fish - super DELISH. My hubby got a bento box (he end up eating most of my mackeral and soup. My cousin got the fish stew and I cannot remember what her hubby got. We ordered two suju bottles, the grape was delicious. Their apple was meh, the normal. Our server also gave us a complimentary tartare salad that was SOOOOO gooood. We also ordered two different fish sashimi plates. The food was delicous, I love this place, it was a little gem that was hidden. I can't wait to try the other things they have like their real korean bbq! Happy New Years fellow yelpers! read more

I wouldn't have tried this place if it weren't for my sister. I was craving Korean and rather than going to the typical Yonge/Finch area she suggested that we go here. The restaurant has Korean and Japanese food so we ordered a mixture of both. We ordered pork bone soup, takoyaki, and Malado roll. The ban chan here is pretty standard but what sets it apart from other restaurants is that we were given a small bowl of noodles in soup, which was perfect because it was cold outside that day. The portions here are on the bigger side. My sister and I split everything and we weren't able to finish, we had to take the Malado roll home. All the dishes we ordered tasted good and as I've said before, generous portions. The service is here is okay, exactly what you would expect in a Korean restaurant. Overall my experience here was good and I'm definitely coming back to try other food on the menu. read more

Cute small restaurant serving Korean and Japanese food. I've come here a few times, and I've had good experiences everytime. The small wooden booths have blinds that the server unfurls after bringing the food for privacy. Their bento boxes are a good value and they always bring so many side dishes (10 to be exact! Instagram cut some of) read more

First time ordering for malado a friend told me about this place so yummy. Love it so much price pretty good Thank you so much we will order again read more

Not a bad place overall. The sushi was OK, the Korean food was better. Their Korean Spice Beef Bones soup was amazing! Bento special boxes are great value but the included tempura was only so-so, far from the fluffy light tempura you will get at best Japanese/Korean places in town. The major issue here for me wasn't so much the food as the place was freezing cold when it was just -3 outside at lunchtime! The staff wore heavy sweaters and they do have a bunch of portable heaters (trip hazard imo) scattered through the already cramped place but they don't make a dent now in November, so I honestly wouldn't wanna eat here in the middle of a frigid February night unless you enjoy eating with your coat and scarf on. I did ask if this was a temporary issue or what and the server (the owner's son) told me it might be a while before it's fixed and judging from all the portable heaters I think it's been going on for some time. Perhaps something to inquire before heading here. read more

Hidden gem! You gotta try it. I eat here 2-3 times a month. Boyfriend and I really love the somen appetizer. Temperature of the somen soup is not consistent as they keep the soup base in the hot water dispenser and just pour over the noodles when they're ready to serve you. I really love the soup especially when I'm so hungry and need something before the main dish actually comes out so I don't mind cold warm or hot somen . Best gamjatang I've ever tried, never disappoints me. Just the right amount of flavour and spice to it. Every bowl I got only had 1 piece of potatoe though which is fine not a big deal. Owner and servers are extremely friendly. read more

I came here on a friends recommendation and was not disappointed. Prices here for Korean or Japanese dish is well priced. Portions are great. I am always on a hunt for great JamJang and it is one of the tastiest for $10 My friend got the Salmon and Tempura bento box $12. They have a great tempura dipping sauce and sides included miso soup, chap chae, salad and 2 nice (?) rolls. Service was on point too! read more

Good food for a good price! The food was pretty tasty but the meat quality seemed subpar. The chicken katsu had a really nice sauce and batter layer but the chicken was tough. This was the same case for the beef on the bento box as it was dry and tough despite the sauce tasting awesome. The service was poor but my friend (who visits here often) said its unusual for this to happen. I'm willing to give this place a chance again but the service during my visit was not good. Messed up orders and forgot one too; didn't check up on us and forgot a lot of our requests. To be fair, it seemed like there was only 1 waiter that time. read more

I will for sure come back here again!! read more

I was here 4/17/2018 Tuesday evening. My work colleague searched this one out and was only 15 minutes from our hotel in Vaughan. This little place is a gem. I have been to Korea numerous times and knew what I like and don't. Great Korean food and the condiments are top notch. Typical Korean condiments and the daikon was my favorite. I had the seafood pancake appetizer and it was HUGE with lots of seafood including generous squid. I had dot sot bulgogi bibimbop and my colleague had a bossam jungsik. All great and the staff was polite and attentive. Prices were very reasonable. At first I thought $15CDN was a lot for a seafood pancake it was big enough to justify. If you go to this small place you will not be disappointed. read more

I have been to Malado many times because it's so close to home. It's a small family owned restaurant that's got the feel of a mom and pop shop. They have a pretty extensive menu of Korean and Japanese dishes. Their Korean dishes are far superior to their Japanese choices (probably because the family is Korean). The sashimi/sushi are not high quality, however the price isn't too high so you do get what you pay for. I always get a pork/kimchi with tofu dish called tofu samkeapsal on the menu (I looked it up and it's called dubu kimchi, not sure why Malado calls it the other name). It comes with a serving of purple rice as well. During lunch they have daily special bento boxes that are a fantastic value. Most of the time I always end up taking food home, despite having quite a large appetite. After you order they'll give you a small complimentary noodle soup and then bring out the banchan consisting of kimchi, pickled daikon, beansprouts and some other things. It changes from time to time. Service is sometimes hit or miss. If you sit in one of the separate booths you'll have to constantly be peaking out to call them if you need anything. But, they are nice when you do call them so that's not really a big issue. Parking is easily found in the lot right outside. read more

Really good bento boxes! I had the chicken katsu bento box and it came within ten minutes. You also get an extra complimentary soup with noodles and miso soup, all for $11.99. The plaza does get busy so it might be hard to find parking, but other than that I would go back to try more of the menu as they offer many Korean and Japanese dishes. read more

Cost is reasonable quality of food is horrible. The served my pork bone soup cold it felt like from Fridge n pot in stove for few minute happen twice will not again. Order a bento box sashimi one time the fish was still frozen with ice. Their tempura batter was still uncook from inside complaint and they did nothing. Very unhappy with the woman waitress took her 30minutes to bring my rice with my food i have to remind her. Her service was bad read more

This is "my go to" for korean food. There are only a few Korean restaurants in my area but this is by far the best. The place is quaint and homy.

The food is fresh and the service is excellent. read more

Looking for delicious Korean food near Etobicoke north? Highly recommend this restaurant! My husband and I ordered LA kalbi and bulgogi - both were super tasty!

Food came to us within 10 minutes of ordering. We will be back for sure! read more

First time checking out this restaurant and it'll now be our go-to for Japanese. I was a bit worried at first as we were the first ones in for dinner but then within half an hour, about ten other patrons came, whew! We enjoyed our teriyaki and tempura bento boxes; tried both salmon and beef. First came a mini vermicelli soup and small fried fish bites; we thought this was unique. Our bento boxes came with miso soup, salmon/beef, udon noodles, house salad, two pieces of California rolls, rice and five tempura pieces. Food was tasty, no complaints, fast service and for $9.95, we were really amazed with the spread. We've been to several other sushi restaurants on Dixon and Steeles and this place offers way better value. I like having variety in my entrees and especially likes the nice variety in my bento boxes. Took a look at the prices for their other offerings as well and they are very well-priced. Will make it a point to try other items next time. Glad we discovered this place! read more

What a wonderful little Japanese/Korean eatery! The owners are very sweet, the seating is quaint (Especially if you can get the booth) but most importantly the food is excellent and well priced! all of the Maki rolls we had were great (spicy tuna, spicy salmon, yam, California, avocado, cucumber), the calamari for $6.50 was some of tastiest I've had and although portion was smaller it was right for the price. Next time I will try the Korean cuisine and if it's anything like the Japanese I'm already salivating! read more

Have been working in the area for 5.5 years but never try this Korean/ Japanese restaurant. So instead of going for Pho, I gave this restaurant a try. Went there around 3:15 and there is no one in the restaurant. The menu is very extensive full of different types of Korean and Japanese, I've ordered Bibim Naeng Myun ( buckwheat cold noodles with spicy sauce) for take out. Aside from the noodle it came with 2 side dishes, kimchi and bean sprouts and soup. Cold noodle is very yummy especially with this hot weather, noodles are cold and chewy, with pickled radish inside. Also have 4 pieces of beef brisket and hard boil egg. Soup that came with it taste good too. Will definitely buy take out from them again read more

My spouse decided to take me to Malado for an adventure for our usual Friday night outing, and I was really impressed with this place. Malado is located in the same plaza where we usually have our pho'. The quality of the sashimi was worth the price. We also tried their beef soup( forgot the name) but we'd prefer to have it at our go- to tofu soup place in Mississauga next time. Service was prompt, which was really good. We had a happy meal:) read more

We're always coming out of there full & happy! :) Easy mall to find parking. read more

I'm confused how this place has so many great ratings. It's a hole-in-the-wall, which I'm fine with. Sometimes those places throw down, but in this case? The atmosphere matched the food. It was awful. Shumai were microwaved to an inedible temperature, when they cooled, were rock hard. The seaweed salad arrived partially frozen. The spicy tuna roll? I have no idea what it was. See the photo. It was a ton of breading? Mayo just on the top? Brown tuna? I left hungry and went to Swiss Chalet. read more
