    Chicken katsu
    Matthew H.

    Good food, even greater value! Had some errands to run at First Markham Place so figured to visit during weekend lunchtime. Parking and seating inside the food court can be a bit busy at times but plentiful. Got the chicken katsu special (7.50) which also came with a pop and salad. The katsu was crispy and portions were quite generous. Hard to find a better value meal these days coming out at under $10. The korean lady is super friendly and food came out super quick as well.

    Came back to try their Katsu and had to change my rating. Their pork/chicken katsu is $7.50 and comes with rice, salad, miso soup, a cup of tea, and a generous portion of fried katsu. There are two different ways of making katsu, either keeping the meat thick (generally Japanese way), or flattening the pork loin super thin before frying (Korean way). This place does it the latter, which is probably my preference. Everything tastes good, the katsu stays crispy, and it costs about half of what you'd pay for katsu at any other restaurant. yum!

    why are you not eating this right now
    Jon C.

    You don't come here for the sushi or the teriyaki or for anything else but for one thing and one thing only. The pork katsu (...and maybe the chicken katsu but mostly just the pork katsu). For only $6 you too can experience one of the best pork katsus in the GTA. Salad, rice, and a perfectly breaded pork cutlet. Is there really anything else you need in life? I can't even begin to count how many times I've eaten here but I have never had a bad experience once and the owner is always super friendly. It will be a sad sad day in First Markham Place food court history if this place ever closes.

    Tonkatsu Dinner Combo comes with miso soup and 5 sushi or 6 California rolls
    Wendy W.

    Like this place because the food is good and the price is very good. I got a tonkatsu combo which has a choice of miso soup or pop and 5 sushi or 6 California rolls for $10. The katsu is good not oily at all, maybe because I came late and they have more time to cook better. The sushi is aright which I did not expect much for this price as long as quality is decent fresh. Would come here again for their katsu if you want good food but not pricey

    Pork katsu dinner set with California roll ($10 HST included)
    Eric F.

    I'm honestly not sure how this place can afford to be in business with such cheap and filling meals. $5.75 + HST for a pork katsu meal that includes salad, rice and soup/pop? It's been at least 8 years since I first eyed my friend's takeout box at school and decided I needed to get one for myself next time I went.... and I've been going ever since. It's not going to be the best katsu (I find the katsu hard). They don't make the best rolls. But they do provide some of the best service, the same Korean lady has been running it for as long as I've known and all the sauces are provided up front in case you wanted extra tonkatsu sauce. I think all prices are carefully selected to round to a convenient number after tax (eg. $6.50 in the case of the pork katsu). Cash and debit only.

    Chicken katsu $7 included tax with drink or soup
    Euge W.

    Big Portio, I couldn't finish my dinner. The katsu is just okay... the oil they use for deep fried wasn't fresh oil. However, Good price for the food.

There is only a few stools and a high table for some people to sit and eat, but mostly it's just a takeout restaurant. Start are very friendly and you can see the chef's busy prepping everything in the back. They're a pretty big menu with a lot of different options. I ended up trying one of their party platters, as well as a California roll for my kid. The roles are really good lots of toppings and very thin amount of rice which I really like. The sashimi and sushi are both very fresh and has a good variety. Price point is also reasonable for the quality of the seafood. Definitely will be coming back to order some sushi here again in the future! Presentation is also very lovely

The establishment has a casual dine-in setup, offering a relaxed atmosphere suitable for a quick meal or a short break during the day. Despite being a dine-in restaurant, all food is served in takeout boxes, which, while convenient for those on the go, slightly diminishes the overall dining experience for those choosing to eat on the premises. The food quality itself was acceptable. Reasonably portioned, adequately seasoned, and prepared in a timely manner. While it may not stand out as exceptional, it fulfills the expectations for a casual meal. However, the main issue that significantly impacted my experience was the cleanliness of the tables. The first table I sat at had a noticeably sticky surface, which immediately raised concerns about hygiene and maintenance. Assuming it was an isolated case, I moved to a second table, only to encounter the same problem. A third attempt produced similar results, suggesting that this is not an isolated incident but rather a recurring issue throughout the dining area. A sticky table surface not only detracts from comfort but also gives the impression that cleaning practices are not being properly observed between guests. This, unfortunately, overshadowed what could have been a satisfactory meal. In summary, while the restaurant offers decent food at a fair value, the overall dining environment requires improvement, particularly in the table cleanliness and food presentation. Until this concern is addressed, I would recommend opting for takeout instead of dining in, as the food quality is adequate, but the in-house dining conditions fall short of acceptable standards.

    Here is a true gem that is easily overlooked but definitely worth a visit. We were at another…read moreJapanese restaurant and they had told us that their regular menu was only available for lunch. This didn't sit well with us, so we had looked to Yelp to find another venue and Nichiban Sushi 4 U popped up. I never heard of Nichiban before, but I instantly recognized the location as another favourite food joint is located adjacent to them (Fat Ninja). We decided to give them a try. I can't say we weren't a bit hesitant when we arrived as they are located at the back of the plaza, away from the limited street frontage the plaza could afford. However, I can say with confidence that we were very happy we ate at Nichiban! The service was great, the prices were excellent and most importantly, the food was spectacular! The ingredients were very fresh and full of flavour! The bento box I ordered was well prepared and the food was just right. The chicken katsu was extremely tasty and the gravy was delicious! I loved the tempura: just enough batter to be flavourable and not overwhelming. I could actually see the vegetables underneath the batter, unlike other restaurants that simply oversaturate the batter. The sushi plates were also very good; the sashimi was ultra fresh and the presentation was great! Someone ordered the beef teriyaki bento box and everything was just right! Overall, I would highly recommend Nichiban to anyone who adores Japanese cuisine - excellent tasting food and great pricing will make you a believer!

Torched sushi Unagi and hotate - 3 blocks of rice with a bit of unagi and scallop on top. It felt a bit unbalanced and expensive for what it is. Would not recommend.

    Came here with some friends for the omakase special meal…read more Such a lovely overall standard omakase experience and meal. The highlight for me was probably the set of four starter appetizers, they were flavourful, delicately prepared and perfect way to start the meal. I liked the slightly pickled dish with cucumbers the best. We also had sushi prepared with fresh seafood. The rice was probably my favorite compared to other places I've been. It was perfectly seasoned rice, warm and cooked to have just the right texture, not overcooked and not undercooked. The rice held up well when picked up by hand and complemented the flavours of the fish. Finished the meal with a matcha flavored pudding flan type dessert which had deep matcha flavours. If you're a fan of matcha, you'd probably enjoy it too. All in all, the meal was enjoyable, the torched tuna sushi was probably my favorite sushi of the set and my least favorite was the egg/eel, I was expecting a sweet egg at the end so it unexpected.

The restaurant is super quiet and they offer great quality of food with great service, and the price is expensive if you choose to order sukiyaki set (expect $80+ per person). You can choose between sushi sets at different price level or sukiyaki from the menu. This suits the need of our group given some people prefer sushi but some couldn't eat raw food. They also offer a couple of limited appetizer dishes such as tempuras and unagi don. If you booked the sukiyaki table and want to order sushi, you need to call them in advance to notify which sushi sets you want. We tried the sashimi and sushi courses at $55, which included miso soup, 5 pieces of sashimi, 8 pieces of sushi (squid, toros, salmon, scallop etc.), handroll and matcha or black sesame icecream at your choice. The sushi is smaller than average, suitable for small eaters. The course is totally worth the money. I love every piece of sashimi and my favourite sushi include the scallop and the squid. Everything was super fresh. The dessert was also having the perfect sweetness level for me. In addition, we also tried the sukiyaki for two ($110), which includes mushrooms, cabbages, great quality of Angus beef, yummy tofu and udon. Again, all the material was with great quality and super fresh. I especially liked the sweet sukiyaki soup, the tofu and the udon. We also ordered some shareable dishes including chawanmushi, unagi don and cod. Cod was cooked to perfect (soft and flavourful), and unagi don had quite decent portion. It would be better if the unagi could be softer from my personal opinion. Chawanmushi was mediocre. Overall, I strongly recommend this restaurant to fan of Japanese cuisine. It meets different people's needs by offering both cooked and raw food options, and the sushi set definitely has great value for money.
