This is hidden gem in Richmond hill. Authentic and fresh sushi. The service was amazing. Such a cute spot. Definitely will come back again. We got the platter and some extra rolls and everything was amazing.

Nice Korean family owned Japanese/Korean restaurant. Cozy and clean inside, with very welcoming service. Foods are freshly prepared, you can come in along and not feel awkward.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Salmon Sashimi

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.

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.

A hidden gem in Richmond Hill area, this sushi place serves very fresh sashimi and sushi. They have very friendly staff and you get discount when you pay by cash.

Galbi

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.

*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.

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!"

Lunch special bento box, comes with udon and edamame
Jahleel C.

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!

This place has a lot of seatings and booth areas so you can have some privacy while dining…read more Extensive amount of food choices on the menu with decent prices. Ordered tempura vegetables and shrimp with 6 pieces total was only around $9. This tempura tasted truly delicious compared to other pricier restaurants! The whole staff greeted us the moment we came in with smile and felt their kindness/patience while we were looking through the menu. They were very accommodating with changing spicy salmon roll to dynamite roll in the dinner sushi sets for me since I don't eat spicy food. Other restaurants would always charge extra regardless if the price was the same or cheaper. The rice ratio for the rolls was PERFECT! Definitely the best one I've seen by far. I would love to try their signature rolls next time to see if they're the same. I would come here again for lunch and check them out. -1 star because: The sushi to rice ratio is a little too much so I had to take some off unfortunately. Also the salad that comes with the sets was bland, lettuce and 3 strings of beets.

For a lunch bento box around ~$17-18 it comes with a roll, tempura, salad, miso soup, rice and salmon teriyaki, I thought that the food quality was amazing. The rolls were not just basic rolls, they were packed with flavour, texture (tempura bits) and had an excellent rice-meat ratio. The salmon terriyaki portion was amazing. Service was a little on the slow side, the the food definitely made up for it. I'm looking forward to trying out other sushi rolls & menu items as their menu is quite extensive! Will definitely be coming back in the near future. If you're looking for a good place to stop by for quick sushi

The service is incredible here, and the vibe is cool-chic. Just loving the atmosphere here…read more As for the food, don't expect it to be a "traditional Izakaya" here, but that's not a bad thing. They do the "traditional" dishes with a twist / fusion. For example, the black cod is usually feel heavy with the miso based sauce, but they added some acidity to the sauce and they made the black cod taste rich and light (not to mention the black cod was perfectly cooked); traditionally the Brussels Sprouts would be finished by tossing balsamic vinegar over it. Sometimes that would still feel heavy. Instead, they tossed it with strawberry vinaigrette. So the acidity is very light and not too sweet. We finished our meal with the Yokai Signature Maki. Yes, they SHOULD be proud of this Maki enough to put their name on it. They hit it on the nail with the taste profile. I have a zero tolerance with spiciness, so they put the spicy mayo on the side, and I encouraged my wife to dip the Maki with it. She confirmed my suspicion that the spicy mayo took the maki to another level. We definitely will come to try other dishes. Edit: they comped us a slice of Matcha Cheesecake. While it is still not my cup of tea, but I was very impressed with how good it taste. My "dislike" is with cheesecakes because they feel heavy. Though it is still on the heavy side for me, but as soon as I spoon in a bit of the strawberry sauce, it just lightened up the whole thing. They have successfully amazed me with how well they play with taste.

I had high hopes of this izakaya but unfortunately the expectations fell short…read more The vibes were fun, but the restaurant is quite cramped and a bit too loud. I felt I had to shout in order for my friend to hear me who was sitting right across from me. I ordered: - brussel sprouts ($12) - tasty but salty - shrimp risotto ($22) - rice uncooked & salty - corn croquette ($10) - this was good - skewers sampler ($34) - quite overpriced for 6 skewers - forgot what drink was call but it was $8-$10 and was also very bland Everything was just overly salty. The only items I would order again is the brussel sprouts and corn croquette. However, portion size was quite small and not worth it overall.

Love the vibes, very casual, and the server was really friendly too. She was super enthusiastic when our group requested sake bombs. This was my first time going to an AYCE izakaya, and it made me wish there was one where I live. The highlight was definitely the beef teriyaki - comes out sizzling hot. The chicken teriyaki felt sad in comparison lol. Sushi was pretty good quality as well. Melona bars to top off the night! Would come back here always if I was in the area.

Let me state up front that the food is great. It's fresh and there's a good selection…read more My reason for giving 3 stars is the choice of seating and the service. We went as a group of 7 with a reservation. For some reason, instead of seating a larger group at the stand alone (but combinable tables) at the front of the restaurant, they decided to sit us at a booth that holds six with the +1 in a chair in the pathway to the bathroom. Ordering food is done on 2 pieces of paper - one for sushi and one for all the other food. Unlike many other AYCE restaurants, there is no description of the food and there's no iPad to see a photo of what you might be ordering. It makes it very difficult to select, and the waiters are really not around to ask questions. They wanted all 7 of us to use the single paper. I explained to the waiter that I wasn't at a restaurant to do math and add up all the pieces and orders and go person by person. Could we possibly get a second set of papers so we could split the table into 2 groups? Yes, but with great difficulty. The food started to come. Overall, very fast from paper to food. So, where did they put the food? Right in front of me as one if the people sitting at the end. They would place plate after plate in front of me. Often with no explanation of what food it was. Apparently, it is the person at the end of the table's job to announce the food and identify the person(s) who it belongs to. So, with the number of dishes ordered, there was little opportunity for me to eat. There was also no place for me to place my food on the table in front of me. It was beyond frustrating. Along the way, they began forgetting to deliver food that was ordered and they began delivering food we did not order. I believe the restaurant should have placed us at the tables at the front of the restaurant. All large groups would benefit front this and all would be able to enjoy the food.
