Finally got a chance to stop by this Japanese restaurant for a Sunday lunch. The restaurant wasn't too busy as I arrived right when they opened at noon. The food here is solid. They have several options for a set lunch combo with good portions. I got lunch set for 2 which includes: - Wafu pasta with garlic miso aioli and bacon - Hamburger steak combo which includes fries , veggies, and a fried egg - Two Nori tacos (veggie taco + salmon taco) The nori taco was a highlight - it's basically an open maki with crispy seaweed as wrapping. Could be improved with some soy sauce on the side though. What I find a little odd about this restaurant was that although they serve Japanese pasta as well as sushi, they don't give Japanese tea nor do they have coffee. So the experience feels like it's missing a piece that ties the meal together. But if you're a fan of Japanese style western food, the flying fish is definitely a place to try. Next time I might give their sushi a go.

Where do I even begin? This place is a gold mine!!!! A pure hidden gem in Richmond Hill. The restaurant inside is pretty small so we were lucky we got a table. They don't take reservations on weekends so you'll need to time it right. There is only one waitress for approx 6/7 tables so there is a bit of a time wait but she was great!!! Food: We got a set that had the following: - Miso soup: 5/5 stars. Hard to mess up. Great for a cold day. - Wafu Rose Bacon Pasta: 5/5 stars. It is an Italian fusion pasta which was so yummy! Has a bit of a kick to it spice wise and we got a large so it was huge. Def could take home for leftovers. You could for sure taste the fusion of both cultures. Must try. - Japanese Hamburger Steak: 4.2/5 stars. This was delicious! It came with fries, some veggies, rice, and homemade sauce. It was a bit on the dry side but with the sauce it was just right. The sauce was slightly too cinnamony taste for me but the brussel sprouts were to die for! - Salmon sushi taco: 4.5/5 stars. These were delicious!! There's some salmon, and crab. The seaweed taco shell was crispy and had a nice crunch. I think the rice to fish ratio was a bit off. Could have put a bit more fish but nothing to really complain about. WILL BE COMING BACK!!!!

Finally got time to visit here after seeing lots of good reviews. It's absolutely a good experience here while supporting small and local businesses! We ordered the Hamburger Steak w/ Mornay cheese sauce, Napolitan Pasta, Set Menu for 2: Sushi Box A (14pcs) & Torched Pressed Sushi (4pcs), and the Sushi Nori Taco. Absolutely delicious, good presentations, nicely done! Among all the great items, the Sushi Box and the Nori Taco stood out pretty well. The unique texture of Nori Taco was just fabulous. Tasty and not oily at all. The charcoal aroma of the torched sushi was beautifully made as well. The great presentation also made my day, LOL! The waiter was friendly and helpful. Certainly a great dining experience. A pretty enjoyable dinner. Will come back for sure! Recommended!

Food is great, service can be improved, inside can be a bit noisy due to the smaller store space. Menu has variety of options along with omakase tasting box. They have options for fusion for Japanese Italian style or traditional maki and sushi.

I wanted to like Flying Fish, but the service really ruined the experience. From the start, it felt like the staff just didn't care. We had to wait way too long to be seated, even with a reservation, and once we finally got a table, it took forever for someone to even acknowledge us. The servers weren't nice either.

Sushi Tacos

First time trying The Flying Fish. This is a hidden gem located in Richmond Hill (Chalmers Gate area). Reservations are highly recommended since there are only about 10 tables in this place. We ordered Combo for Two - Set B for $54. It was perfect ... sushi is so fresh and we enjoyed the assortment which included 14 pcs of Sushi and 4 pcs of Torched Sushi. We also picked this combo out because we wanted the Sushi Tacos which are a MUST! We love the Crunchy Nori Seaweed Shell and for our choices we choose Grilled Unagi (eel) and Spicy Salmon. Such a great menu of Japanese fusion!! Will be back next time to try more like the Wafu Udon Noodles.

Tacos

Back to flying fish for a pre Christmas with my GF. They now have new menu, we checked out SET B which included: 14 pieces of sushi (2 of sushi box A) Torched Pressed Sushi 4pcs (Yuzu Salmon 2pcs+Lime Shrimp 2pcs) 2x Sushi Nori Taco (we chose bbq unagi +$2 and fresh salmon) It was a very delightful meal and we enjoyed everything so much! We loved how crunchy and tasty the nori tacos and how fresh their sushi were. Pressed sushi were also on point and heavenly. We will be back for more! Follow me on Instagram and TikTok @eatntravelrepeat for more food adventures!

Amazing Japanese fusion restaurant. Ordered the Set Menu D for 2 with the Garlic Miso Aioli pasta, the Unknown Dragon roll and the Fresh Salmon and Seared Spicy Sashimi Nori tacos. In addition we got the chicken karaage with Korean sweet chili and the tempura shrimp. The sauce on the Karaage was too sweet in my opinion, I prefer a more milder sauce that isnt too overpowering. Chicken had a nice crisp with some juiciness to it. The pasta was good although not sure if the arugula was needed. They unfortunately didn't have the tofu so we went with the bacon which we found to be lacking in the dish. The rest were great sushi was full of flavour and the sushi tacos had a prefect crunch to them.

Mmmm pasta fusion dishes.

Came here again And It's still Amazing. The pasta fusion dishes are to die for. I can't wait for my next visit.

Food was good, not what we were expecting. We ordered Set C which came with a pasta (shichimi rose cream with bacon) special roll (Golden Tiger) and 2 nori tacos (fresh salmon and beef bulgogi) and included a order of takoyaki. Tacos were amazing. Beef in the bulgogi was really flavourful. Restaurant is not that big so it fills up quickly. There is a sign on the table that says seating limit is 2 hours and if it's busy (ie lineup out the door) it's only a hour. The sign also said No Cake...which I'm assuming customers should not bring a cake to the restaurant for a celebratory meal and expect them to provide plates, forks and knives to serve the cake. Service is efficient. We would come back and try some other items.

Pasta
Alice L.

I used to like this place. But I just visited again and it was disappointing. The portion is insanely small. The pasta dish can't even feed a kid. Mind you, it is a $19 pasta. So it is not supposed to be a kid meal size. And dry pasta is so cheap to buy. The owner is too greedy. Not going to return for a long time. It is such a rip off.

Napolitan Pasta
Junnie L.

Dined in here a few times and ordered take out many times! The restaurant is a small, cozy one and it is nicely decorated inside. Staff are friendly and service is good. In terms of food, the Napolitan Pasta and Seared Spicy Sashimi Nori Taco are my favourite! I've also tried the Wasabi Crème Fraîche before and it's quite good too! The Seared Spicy Sashimi Nori Taco is so good that I'd sometimes just order one to take out as a snack! My husband tried the Hamburger Steak once and was surprised at how delicious it was that he actually ordered it again the next time we returned. We ordered a sushi set once for take out but it didn't stand out that much. However, I'd always come back for the pasta and taco!

Inside
John Y.

Nice chill atmosphere with Bruno Mars playing in the background (lucky me) lunch and dinner daily specials. QR code menu or order directly with staff who can willingly explain the dishes. Ordered the dinner special for 2 which includes miso soup, sashimi tacos, choice of sushi and choice of any of their pastas All items made to order, fish was fresh tasting, pasta piping hot heavy on the garlic. Dragon Royal sushi was basically deep fried shrimp wrapped in avocado and seaweed, topped with deep fried taro slivers Their dinner specials are good value for your money.

They also had optional upgrades for uni or Japanese melon, which I think was like $35 for uni and $27 for one melon slice.

In the land of strip malls and bubble tea, ATO stands like a quiet temple to the sea. No flash, no gimmicks, and they've risen fast. One of the first in the GTA to pull off a full bluefin tuna cutting show, ATO isn't just serving sushi--it's making a statement. The fish? Impeccable. Glistening sashimi, perfectly tempered nigiri, rich cuts of o-toro and chu-toro. There's a devotion here--to quality and tradition. And they've done it without the Toronto markup. Omakase here is serious, but accessible without feeling you are funding a private golf membership. The vibe? Zen-quiet. Multiple rooms, hushed voices, focused chefs. Service? Spot on with little fanfare so you can enjoy each morsel of perfection. ATO Japanese Restaurant isn't trendy. It's timeless. And that's the point. CHEERS!!!!

S5 is also as good as the other location, maybe even better. The rice is even seasoned, the quality is like omakase, the take out box is wrapped with Japanese style cloth wrap, very elegant, although a kind of waste (I asked not to wrap in cloth to be more environmentally friendly). Paid in cash, got 10% discount, What a big bang for the buck as well. One third of the cost as other sushi place with better quality. It is now our go to place for sushi take out. The service is nice and efficient too. Highly recommended.

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 space is bright, spacious, and finally offers something I've always wished for -- a proper sit‑in area where you can enjoy your food on the spot or order takeout to go. Beyond the dine‑in option, the selection here is fantastic. The Japanese grocery section is impressively stocked, with everything from pantry staples to harder‑to-find items. They even carry a wide range of sake, plus other Japanese alcoholic and non‑alcoholic beverages, which makes it easy to pick up something special for dinner at home. My personal highlight is the sashimi‑grade fish. The quality is consistently excellent, and I love packing up a few pieces to make my own donburi at home. It's fresh, clean, and honestly rivals what you'd get at many restaurants. If you're a fan of Japanese food -- whether you're cooking, snacking, or dining in -- this new Taro's Fish location is absolutely worth the visit.
