Best sushi mid point. Fresh and well plated. Always beautiful and delicious…read more Quality is very high grade sushi but not the price of expensive restaurants. The rolls are fantastic and the staff is lovely and attentive. Experienced sushi chef couple own and run this hidden gem.

Got the 72 piece platter, miso soup (meh), beef ribs (tasty but tiny and not worth the hefty price)…read moreand tofu (nicely done with a bit a crispiness to the skin while maintaining soft fluffy interior). The platter was the star of the show. Big chunky pieces of sashimi, a variety of rolls including shrimp (cooked) and an interesting creation with yam fries which was tasty. Nigiri sushi with different types of fish, generous cuts. All very fresh and well constructed/presented. Lost one star because they didn't follow my delivery instructions and the cost of the beef ribs. Otherwise very good. I'd order from there again. Maybe soon I will actually sit there and eat a meal. Someday soon.....

A very basic Japanese lunch spot that didn't leave a strong impression. The main advantage is…read moreconvenience, but beyond that, the experience was totally underwhelming. The pork cutlet was noticeably chewy, and the curry seemed more like a pre-packaged grocery-style product. Presentation was extremely plain in a way that felt lacking rather than simple. Overall, it did not meet expectations with already not much to begin with, and I would personally suggest choosing another place for a better lunch experience. Stay away.

Come here for a casual comforting bowl of Japanese curry in Japantown. We ordered the udon curry…read moreand omurice curry. Keep in mind there isn't much protein in it so you might want to add katsu if you're hungry or order at the nearby shops. All in all still delicious. I believe they increased the price since a year ago but still quite affordable and they don't request tips. You simply order and they call your number up in front, no frills.

Came here for dinner and enjoyed things overall! We tried a bento box, the tempura udon, a salmon…read morehandroll, and the rainbow maki roll. The bento box is excellent, the California roll in it was fresh and tasty, and my partner really enjoyed the double protein of both fried chicken and beef short ribs. The tempura was light and well battered. While I liked the light broth, the udon noodles were very soft with no chew to them. The raw fish was good with no fishiness. Next time I'll get one of the chef specials which is a variety of sushi, maki, or the sushi boat for two which is our friends' go to order. There's plenty of seating. The staff are very friendly. We enjoyed our meal and would come back.

My friend & I had dinner here on Canada Day and we had an overall great experience. Service was…read moresuper friendly and attentive, atmosphere is beautiful, there were SO many food options & the quality well exceeded our expectations within AYCE standards. They have everything from sushi, to dim sum, salad, bbq, and more!! They have a large self-serve salad, snack, and dessert bar outside of the ipad you order from at your table. For a busy night our food came out relatively fast. Presentation was awesome, and sushi portions were reasonable. However, if you're ordering sides like fried chicken or noodle/rice dishes, be careful not to over-order because we thought the portions were quite large, especially the general tso's chicken. Our favorite sushis were salmon, white tuna, and eel. Deep fried scallops were surprisingly delicious & so was the duck sushi! They weren't gamey at all & between the two duck options I really liked the foie gras one. We tried a majority of the sushi items but these stood out the most. Items I'd avoid are the general tso's chicken (too large of a portion and mid tbh) & shrimp skewer (came with shell on and was way overcooked). They also serve strawberry mango bingsu for dessert which is awesome because how often do you find a buffet that has bingsu?! I was a bit weary of the reviews suggesting this place sucked but they must be under new ownership or management of some sort because everything from service to food was genuinely enjoyable. Highly recommend to book a reservation in advance on Google. Parking is validated as long as you park at the RioCan underground lot to the side of the building's main entrance.

Love this place!

Have to say that their sushis are great! They really put a lot of stuff into the rolls. We ordered Mountain Roll (spicy salmon, shrimp, avocado and crunches), Hawaii Roll (mango, papaya, salmon and avocado), yam roll and eel roll. Those 2 special rolls tasted great. The yam and eel rolls were yum too.

Ariake Japanese Restaurant is right across from the Promenade Mall at Bathurst and Centre Street…read more This restaurant is runned by Japanese family. A really small place that can sit around 20 people tops with 1 waitress during lunch time. They do have lunch specials from $8.95. You will be served with Miso soup and edamame and fresh fruits as desserts. There is an option for brown rice sushi if you do prefer with a surcharge. The service is nice and friendly I usually come for a late lunch so there is never long wait for my food order. But I can see it can get busy with just 1 sushi chef and 1 waitress.. The sushi is fresh and tasty..and the cook food are all nicely prepared! They accepts Visa and Mastercard

My favourite japanese spot for cheap and good food. Great great value served by the sweetest lady…read more She is so smiley and welcoming. Just go and meet the most joyful person in the who food court. Everything on the menu is under 10$ but just as good and what you would find in the japanese restaurants arounf first markham place. I buy from here every time I'm in the food court. Highly recommend the maki sushi combo. 16 piece of california, salmon, and cucumber. They also throw in a bonus salmon sushi. Includes miso soup/drink. Made to order in 5-10 min. Total 10$ (used to be 8$ before the pandemic). I also really like their pork katsu which is a high slab of thinly pounded pork chop with lots of rice and salad with soup/drink. Thier tempura batter is more on the thicker side so I generally wouldn't recommend that. It's closer to a fish and chip style beer batter than traditional japanese tempura batter.

Ordered the salmon love roll and salmon family combo…read more Sashimi was fresh and thick, and so was the salmon belly. The rice was a bit on the mushy side, could be better. The salmon love roll filling was fried tempura bits mixed with bits of salmon and a piece of salmon on top with sauce. Not bad, but they could use more salmon in the filling. Not bad for a quick fix.

Service 4/5 Food 4/5…read moreAmbience - I've only done take-out Kome Sushi has now become my go to for sushi takeout. We have ordered the 48 piece combination of sashimi, sushi and rolls. If payment by cash it comes to around $54. Points why it is popular in my family, we like: The sashimi slices are cut thick. The sushi rice is seasoned The rolls are usually a combination of the tempura roll, California roll and spicy salmon rolls. Plus, if you happen to have leftovers for the next day, the rice texture is still enjoyable. The restaurant is inside The Kennedy Centre, a large Chinese Shopping plaza with a ton of eateries, bakeries, a grocery store, travel agencies, and other services are offered in this plaza. A ton of general parking at this plaza.

Tatsu Sushi is a Korean owned sushi joint located on Queen St. W. near Manning Avenue. The small…read moreshop is primarily take out although they do have 2 tables set up in the store. They have a variety of sushi items available and are on delivery and pick up apps as well. Based on the reviews seemed like a favourite among the regulars and I was curious to try the place. I placed my order on Ritual to save the time of waiting in store. Once my order was placed the app showed that my food would be ready for pick up within 30 min. Once I got the notification that my food was ready for pick up I headed to Tatsu. Once I got there, they were finishing up a very big Uber Eats order and I was told by staff that my food wasn't ready where I had to wait 10-15 min. Sat down and waited. A few customers and drivers came by to pick up food. My food was finally made 15 min later. Unfortunate because it took so long (45 min from the time I placed my order) to make my food! I had ordered a triple spicy roll combo and a chicken karaage. Service wise, the staff were friendly. Food wise, the chicken karaage was good! The sushi rolls were good and I'd consider ordering from them again if I wanted something around the area.
