This spot has been a go-to spot for my family and I over years and they've been very consistent throughout. Depending on the day, this place can get quite busy. So if you're ever hoping to visit with a large group, I recommend calling ahead to reserve a table. This place has been renovated throughout the years to update their look and to ensure a comfortable dining experience. Each visit, the restaurant always looks clean. The servers at this place are always sweet older Asian ladies. They're very kind and polite. They're also very thoughtful, for example, with our meal today, it would've only come with a couple complimentary soups and salads but they gave us a couple on-the-house so there was a pair for each person. For ease of service, there are call bells at each table which are much easier to get attention versus trying to flag down a server. The quality and freshness of their sushi is always on par, which is so crucial when it comes to raw food items. I also appreciate their ratios of fish to rice. Whenever we order tempura, they always come out light and crisp, with no excess oil. For hot items like their dolsot, it always comes out HOT. Parking is always easy at this joint as they have a free lot just outside the restaurant, despite being on busy Yonge Street. read more

What a lovely local find. Located on Yonge St., north of Major Mac in a small nondescript strip mall. The restaurant itself is not that big with about 6 tables in the main area and then there is another seating area separated by a wall with probably another 4-6 tables? Menu offers your standard sushi and cooked food (udon/teriyaki etc) options. As the restaurant is advertised as a Japanese/Korean restaurant they also carry some Korean dishes. We ordered a sushi combo with 31 pieces. Was a good variety and the fish was fresh. Food comes with the complementary miso soup and salad and we were also given a small serving of complementary crunchy noodle soup! Service was quick and attentive. Good first experience. We would come again! read more

We came for a quick bento box lunch. Price is great and service was quick. I enjoyed the sushi lunch menu option A - sashimi and sushi box. It comes with a fantastic selection of tempura and a delicious udon noodle soup, which comes piping hot to the table. We mostly all got the same box actually. The teriyaki salmon was also great. Definitely would come back again for a quick bite. read more

Located on Yonge, North of Major Mackenzie. There is a huge lot with plenty of parking option to select from. The restaurant has plenty of seating options to suit the party size. The staff are plenty friendly. The food is very fresh and flavourful. We ordered a sushi/ sashimi platter with very generous servings. The Seafood pasta was rich and hearty. The Galbi was melt in your mouth and hits all the right notes of flavors Lastly the cold noodle was very refreshing and brought back many memories Definitely a hidden gem and the price is very competitive in today's new economy. read more

Tried this restaurant for the first time. Upon entering, you're greeted by all the staff and we got to sit in a nice booth. We came around 6:30 and it started getting busy after we sat down. We ordered the Spicy Maki Platter ($71), Galbi Short Ribs ($16), and Salmon Sashimi 9 pcs ($14). The maki and sashimi pieces were massive and the quality was very good. Each person also received complimentary miso soup, garden salad, and some cold noodles. Overall, the quality of the sushi was very good, but prices were more on the higher side. The interior of the restaurant was very nice. Staff and service were good as well. The menu is extensive and you have lots to pick from. read more

Have been here a few times. The service is always excellent and friendly. To start, we are given salad, miso soup and a warm noodle appetizer. This is nice. The Medium party tray had a good variety of sushi and rolls. These were good and fresh. Tried the Kimchi pizza for the first time. This is unusual - spicy. Quite tasty along with the dipping sauce. Bulgogi - Beef was tender an flavourful. This came with a small bowl of rice. Will return. read more

Oyaji Sushi - Medium Party Tray - Japanese Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Oyaji is a family-run restaurant that specializes in Japanese and Korean food located in Richmond Hill. They have an amazing variety of options, and a very intimate chill vibe with their more private seatings. Sushi Bento A (Lunch Menu): A great option to get if you really want to try a bit of everything. The udon noodles were chewy, a decent amount of toppings and the broth was comforting to eat. The sashimi was probably the thickest cut I've seen. Overall tasted fresh and had no complains especially it was a lot bigger than I expected. The California rolls and tempura veggies were quite standard but were still decent. Galbi appetizer: This is suitable for sharing especially if you want something extra along with the sushi. Flavour-wise was decent and suitable portions as an appetizer (wasn't too small). The meat was a bit tough to eat but still was decent. Overall, highly recommend this place in Richmond Hill! Great intimate vibes, comforting food, and super friendly service. The staff was really understanding to explain and clarify any questions. read more

*PRE-COVID PICTURES* This restaurant may look little at first because of its location and how it's tucked away in a plaza BUT I am here to tell you that the looks of this restaurant are truly deceiving because this place is anything but little in terms of spirit and flavor! -[HWEDUPBAP] $14.95 Think of this almost like a Korean-style chirashi! It consists of chopped up raw fish, sliced vegetables, rice, and a hot sauce that Mr. Kang makes himself :D I highly recommend this dish! -[TATAKI ROLL] $14.95 This is probably one of my favorite rolls from this restaurant because it consists an inside that is made up of scallop, kani (crab), green onion, tobiko (fish eggs), tempura bits, and mayo~ The outside is covered by a TORCHED white tuna that is then drizzled with a sweet unagi sauce! aka, everything that is good in life is included in this roll haha SO OUT OF ALL PLACES, WHY THIS PLACE? 1. When you dine in, there are SO MANY LITTLE SIDE DISHES/APPETIZERS that they give to you free of charge! I am not kidding when I say they gave us so many that our table was full before our actual ordered dishes even arrived haha 2. I've only ever received spectacular service from them because the staff have always been warm and friendly whenever I have dined here. All of your questions will be answered in a friendly yet informative manner ~ 3. Their portion sizes are quite generous ~ I leave here every time holding onto my stomach because I had aspirational goals of finishing everything that I ordered but in hindsight, I should not do that because it's literally so painful to try and finish what they give you because of just HOW MUCH they give you :D Honestly, check. them. out. read more

I went there twice already, and really liked this restaurant. Not just the food but also with the great service! For my first visit, I went there with my husband and we had hot food because of the cold weather. Their Korean dishes were very tasty! For the my second visit, I and my daughter went there before they opened. Since it's Easter holiday, we were not so sure if they would open or not. We've made a call at around 11:30am, and asked if they would open on holiday. YES, they did! And they reserved a nice table for us. We've ordered sushi for 2 people plus one deep fried chicken, they all tasted very good and fresh! My daughter said, "I must go back again!" read more

Oyaji never fails to impress! I'm still ordering from here and eating in their dining room regularly and their quality has only improved! They had some renovations in the restaurant that added a very bright, open concept that I love. It has a great atmosphere for date nights, small family dinners, or get-togethers. They have some new items on their menu that are a little less traditional, but very fun nonetheless. We tried the Nori "nachos" and they were crunchy and delicious. Of course, can't go wrong with salmon lover (all the fish here is so fresh and come in huge portioned sashimi), and don't sleep on the crunchy noodle soup (which is surprisingly simple but delicious) Support local, family owned! Love Oyaji! read more

Dishes are fresh and well prepared with excellent presentation. I particularly like their lunch specials- especially Bento Box A. It is very good value . You get sushi, sashimi, and tempura plus noodle soup. However, they do not accept AMEX credit card. The service and ambience are good. The place get busy so reservations recommended. read more

This is my 5th time coming here (yes I counted) and absolutely love coming here for lunch (Sundays lunch special are not offered). It's located in a small plaza beside a women's fitness and hair salon on Yonge and Crosby. This place is family owned and they are all really nice. I always come with my baby here and usually just in time when she naps, so time for lunch! VENUE: They have some assigned parking for Oyaji customers only which is great because the parking can fill up at times. When you enter the restaurant it looks like a small place but all their seats are pretty much booths except for a few, but all tables look more private. They have several more bigger booths inside of the restaurant where the washroom area is. I haven't used their washroom yet.. FOOD/PRICE: Their lunch special bento boxes are well worth it! It comes with edamame, salad, tempura shrimp with a few veggies, and udon (a nice portion too!). All this comes to around $13.75 per person. Food comes quick! I always order the first one that comes with maki, sashimi, and sushi. I also ask for all salmon. Their salmon is thick, pretty good too. Sometimes it's not consistent but nothing major or negative about it in my opinion. They also put a nice amount of dressing on their salad. SERVICE: There is the lady who always served us. She is so sweet and attentive, greets you with a smile. There's also another one who comes out at times to help out. I think she mostly works in the kitchen, but she's also so kind and nice to you. Their service is really good, you'll feel so welcomed. OVERALL: I like everything about this place (just haven't been inside the washroom yet), but only for lunch. Their regular prices look pretty normal compared to Gal's pricing, maybe a tad bit cheaper for some dishes. This is definitely a go to place for lunch if you want something cheap and will fill you up! read more

Oyaji Sushi - Lunch special bento box, comes with udon and edamame - Japanese Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

3.5 This is my second time at Oyaji. I've visited once before for dine in (early 2020) before the pandemic, and I liked the atmosphere and quality of the food. Hadn't had sushi in a while and was recommended Oyaji - the lunch specials are a pretty good deal. Ordered the salmon teriyaki and spicy salmon/tuna set. Good value as both came to about $30. I ordered the meal for takeout. Flavours were good, but I was not impressed with the freshness of the food. The salmon did not taste particularly fresh. Portion sizes were quite big and generous however - so the price point was spot on. Might try again in a while to see how the freshness holds up. read more

My new favorite Japanese & Korean place in Richmond Hill!!! Sushi, Sashimi and rolls are all very fresh and generous portions. I've eaten in (before COVID) and taken out (since COVID) numerous times and never a complaint except how stuffed I felt after I finished every delicious morsel served to me. I always get a nice greeting and big smiles from everyone when I walk in the door, even when it's busy busy. When I have to wait for my order I'm offered a nice steaming cup of tea. For me it's always quality of the food and service that counts and so far Oyaji has not disappointed me once! TIP TIP TIP: They offer a 10% discount on takeout if you pay cash, so I always pay cash, and when hungry enough you get a free roll when you take out $100 or more before taxes. read more

This review is based on 1 dining visit and on Korean food only. Short and Sweet review - We ordered Korean food, and it was awesome! Most definitely authentic. Very flavorful. Services were friendly and elegant. Pricing is about 15% higher than market, and portion is at least 20% more than the norm. The math works out, so is the value. We will return. read more

Very nice, comfortable place. All the staff were very friendly. The food was delicious.

Visited last week. Food is still great. Had the avocado and cucumber roll. Tons of ripe avocado. Mushroom roll was great too. Shrimp tempura dinner. So crispy and light. Korean rice bowl was authentic and huge serving. Served sizzling hot. Also had the hwe salad. Big pieces of fresh tuna and salmon, crisp vegetables and ridiculously big portion. The kalbi was ok but not as good as the rest of the food. Needs to be charred more. read more

This is a mom and pop Japanese/Korean restaurant that's located near Yonge/ Major Mackenzie. When we came, it was before the lockdown, but it was packed for the amount of seats they were allowed to have. I'd recommend making a reservation ahead of time. Their menu offers a good selection of Korean dishes, as well as sushi/Japanese food as well. A lot of their Dishes emphasizes that it's handmade daily by Mr.Kang whom I believe is the owner. The service was great, and the waiting for the food didn't take too long considering how busy the restaurant was. We ordered the small combo sushi/sashimi boat, and the red dragon roll. We also got miso soup, salad and the crunchy noodle soup with our order as well. I was alittle disappointed with the sushi boat presentation, but overall, the food was great, and we were very full. They take card and cash! read more

3.5/5 for the food and round up to 4 for service They have some good lunch bento deals ($13.95). We came here for lunch before dine-in was shut down again and ordered 2 bentos. I liked their kalbi a lot. The rolls were okay and the sashimi was pretty fresh but maybe cut too thick? It was a bit tough to chew. The udon we had was also soggy and didnt have much flavour. Service was friendly and prompt though, and we liked their seating booths. Overall, although we weren't huge fans of the food, it was definitely not bad for the value. We might come back and give them another shot. read more

Oyaji Sushi - Sashimi lunch Bento - Japanese Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

I can no longer recommend Oyaji sushi. It's poor value, poor quality and now way over priced for what they are offering. Spend your hard earned dollars on an establishment that understands that you have to provide some value for what people are spending at your business. Good luck Oyaji in the future as I think your going to need all the luck in the world to survive as a business. read more

Nice little gem at a small corner plaza. Lots of parking spaces. Be aware that they don't take reservations for a party of two. Luckily, me and my friend only have to wait 10 mins for a table when we went on a Friday at 7pm. We ordered the medium combo (sashimi, sushi) and the portions are generous. The food presentation is not as fancy as some of the other Japanese restaurants in town, but everything is fresh. The staff are very friendly, we enjoy the dinner very much. The only disappointment was that they don't sell wine/beer on that day, the staff said it is bcoz they are in the process of renewing the liquor license. We might try some of their Korean dishes next time. read more

In this evening, I found a lovely, warm, and down-to-earth Japanese and Korean family restaurant---Oyaji Sushi @oyajisushi , which locates at 10341 Yonge Street, Richmond Hill, Ontario. Well, in Japanese, Oyajiおやじ means father. I always believe names show the core value of something, and so does Oyaji Sushi. This small restaurant is at the conner and people always miss it. However, when you go inside, I bet you will be impressive by its decoration and atmosphere. Quiet, warm, clean, tidy and bright. The two sushi chief are middle age men (I think they should be very experienced). One of the staff Billy is so nice. After talk, I knew that Oyaji opened in North York as Sapporo Sushi for years, and then moved to Richmond Hill as Oyaji Sushi and its brand value is Taste + Quality + Enjoy. Tonight, I had Oyaji Sashimi, cowboy roll and salmon hand-rolled sushi with spicy mayo. For the cowboy roll, well, the fired sweet potato did surprise me. The beef was juicy and the sweet potato is crispy outside and soft inside, which is like 'Duet'. It is my first time to have sweet potato and beef combination. It is too creative. For the Sashimi, it is also my first time to have fresh white tuna sashimi. Taste good and specially. The salmon hand-rolled sushi with spicy mayo, I need to say the salmon was full of the roll and the spicy mayo was yummy and spicy enough (even though I seldom have spicy food but I like Oyaji's spicy mayo). All in all, I highly recommend you to try Oyaji. They provide dine in and take out. Especially people who live in Richmond Hill and look for a new Japanese restaurant, I think it will be your best choice. read more

Great, high-quality sushi, maki, and sashimi. The fish has a great variety and is of high-quality. The large platter is fairly priced and there is a 10% discount if you're paying cash... I have officially left my old sushi spot of 10 years for Oyaji! read more

Had a very good meal with friends. Four of us shared a variety of dishes and it was excellent. I especially enjoyed the Soon Tofu soup; a nice level of hot spice and just really tasty. The table ordered Gyoza Yaki and Korean Pizza to start. They were just great and a perfect start. We ordered two soups; the Soon Tofu for spice lovers and a Crunchy Noodle soup for the others. Just wonderful. We followed with Beef Teriyaki and a Oyaji Roll. All just perfect. The staff were very attentive and friendly, and the restaurant had plenty of cubicle style seating as well as larger, private cubicles for larger groups. read more

Came with colleagues and I still love this place. They had ac on during this awful heat wave! Their chirashi looks good but I cheaped out and got the sashimi lunch instead which has 12 pc with rice, salad, salmon teriyaki, and noodles. The rice didn't have sushi vinegar and I think that's because it wasn't chirashi. Anyway the sashimi was great! I like how they had this potato noodle soup as an app. Very tasty. I'd come again. Their sashimi is thicc, boi read more

Oyaji Sushi - Sashimi lunch $12.95 - Japanese Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

We love to order their bento boxes and the chicken katsudon. These bento boxes are loaded with goodies. Meat, sushi, rice, tempura, gyoza, soup, salad, for a decent price. I wouldn't get sashimi or nigiri a la carte here, as their raw fish quality is run-of-the-mill. Just having some of these items in a bento is adequate, rather than ordering them as standalone. Most of the seating is in booths, providing some privacy that's ideal for dinner dates. The service is also friendly and efficient here. You'll be well taken care of. There is ample free parking in the parking lot. Highly recommend this place. It is one of our go-to sushi restaurants in the area. (for the love of God, don't go to Sushi Aoi nearby) read more

I have to be honest and say that I do not love ringing a bell for service. Bells at every table and they are necessary despite it being a smaller restaurant. This place is nicer on the inside than the outside. We ordered: Salmon sashimi appetizer - delicious and a great value at 9.95 for nine pieces. Tatami roll - this was bigger than expected and I could not finish it. The inside was yummy but the torched fish on the outside was meh. Oyaji sushi - a medley of sushi and roll. This was okay To start there was also a salad, miso soup and crunch noodle soup. Mmmm crunch noodle soup. All in a better deal than some of the other places in the area. Not sure it will be repeatable for me. read more

Oyaji Sushi did a good job to give this location which used to be a Korean restaurant a brand new look. I love the deco and a lot of tables have partitions that give me a lot of privacy. Lunch Special has 18 items to choose from with a good mix of Korean and Japanese dish and of course sushi and sashimi starting from $8 that includes miso soup and salad. #9 6 pc Sushi with 3 pc of Spicy Roll and 3 pc of California Roll ($10) Maybe because of the cold weather, I found I was still really hungry after finishing my lunch. The sushi is one of the smallest size I ate. Small piece of fish and where did they get such a small shrimp? Tuna was that funky looking pink colour. The roll though was quite good. The side includes garden salad, seaweed salad and glass noodle salad. Service was friendly and efficient. Either wave the staff over or just ring that bell by the table. This review is based on sushi alone, so I will need to come back and try out other cook food option and specifically the Korean dish. Will definitely do an update after that experience. read more

We decided to order take out from this place. We normally order take out from here once a month. And usually have no issues until this time. We ordered the Hwe dup bap and chirashi since I was craving for something like a Pokey bowl. For the Hwe dup bap, the sauce was too spicy for me, but that wasn't the worst part. On the menu they mentioned about topping it with everyone's fave, the avacado. There was none on mine. I was very disappointed. You don't upsell something when you aren't going to put it in the dish. Definitely not impressed. And it wasn't like they ran out either. Also the fish pieces in the dish are the end pieces or the leftover pieces that aren't used in the sushi, Maki, or sashimi. They didn't taste fresh at all. My significant other ate the chirashi and some of my dish, his stomach didn't enjoy it one bit. It was the only thing he ate that day. And he can handle spicy and has a tougher stomach than I do. So something is definitely off with the take out food. I will probably think twice about ordering from there again especially with their take out. When we first tried this place it was a budget friendly place and the fish was decently fresh. Now, I think they really dropped the ball. I don't know if it just that one day. read more

Good service and they make me feel so welcome. the food is good and not pricey. The place is clean
