    First time trying at Yanagi because I always get the Chinese rice box across from them. They had a good deal, and I got their assorted tempura and katsu combo for $10 tax incl. for each combo; it comes with bottled water or miso soup, and I opted for miso soup for both. I probably waited for 10-15 minutes before my order was ready. It was still hot when I got home. The katsu was pretty good, huge portion for $10. The tempura was okay, but the batter is very thick and hard, not light and crispy, but for $10 and huge portions, I can't complain. Would definitely get their katsu again, if I don't want to wait in line for chinese rice box.

    Chicken katsu

    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!

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

    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.

    why are you not eating this right now

    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

    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.

    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!

Tempura Bento - Came with miso soup, salad, California roll, 2 gyozas, rice, 2 shrimp and 4 pc veggies. They must have given more before because there was alot of empty space in this bento. Gyoza skins were hard pretty terrible to chew on. Tempura was nice, crispy and came out hot. California roll was pretty standard. In all a decent set. 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.

I've frequented their Sheppard location only and this was my first time visiting this more spacious location with a small dining area. The lunches were reasonably priced for the quality of the fish and we enjoyed the salmon 3 ways don and the lunch sushi set that came with assortment of nigiri sushi and mini dons that were so cute! We added miso and side salad for added cost, but it was well worth it. Also took home a sushi for 2 and some sashimi (cut to order) and this dinner was also exceptional. Taro's will continue to be my go-to for fresh fish and now I have a great casual dine-in spot as well.

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.

    We came here because of the reviews on Google, and like a lot of people have mentioned, parking is…read morefairly difficult. There are only about 4 to 5 spots in the front, and while there are some smaller plaza parking lots nearby and another parking lot across the street, most of the spots are marked for whatever store they're in front of, so park at your own risk. Upon entering, there aren't that many tables either. There isn't a lot of room for bigger groups but they can merge some of the tables together. The biggest issue for us was definitely how long and uneven the wait for the food was. We ordered at 12:15 PM and got our salads about 10 minutes later, but after that, the food came out pretty sporadically. The first actual dish didn't come until 12:44 PM, which was the tempura from the two-person set. Parts of the other meals and the rest of the two-person set slowly came out between 12:46 and 12:49 PM. The 30-piece sashimi and sushi set didn't arrive until 1:04 PM, almost 50 minutes after we ordered, and the actual salmon teriyaki which was just a small salad, salmon teriyaki and steamed rice from the bento was the last thing to come out at 1:09 PM, about 54 minutes after ordering. By that point, we had already finished the entire two-person set and another person had finished their udon and sushi combo. It's just not ideal when you're eating with a group and some people haven't even gotten the main part of their meal while everyone else is already finished. It also didn't seem like it was only our table. The table in front of us had a pasta order that seemed to have been missed. We heard the server say it was about to be ready, and then heard someone from the kitchen respond with something along the lines of, "There's another order for it?" So I do think the timing and communication between the kitchen and servers is something they need to improve on. We were served our salads first, but didn't get our miso soups until we asked for them. They were planning to serve them with the meals, but since we had already been waiting so long, we ended up just asking if we could have them first. For food, I got the two-person lunch set for $52, which came with a large veggie udon, 9 pieces of sashimi, 6 pieces of sushi, an additional 6 pieces of a classic roll, and tempura. We chose the spicy scallop maki for our roll. The sushi and sashimi were good, and the tempura was good as well. The veggie udon was a little disappointing though. It had one bok choy, a few pieces of mushroom, and then was mostly just strands of onion. The spicy scallop maki was also just okay since I couldn't really taste much scallop. Price-wise, I do think it's a little on the higher side for what you get. The quality was good overall, but for the price I would've liked a little more, especially considering the wait. Between how difficult parking is and how long and unevenly the food came out, I'm not really in any hurry to return. I think the wait bothered me more because we were eating as a group, and by the time two people finally got their food, the rest of us were completely finished. If they can improve the timing of getting everyone's meals out somewhat together, it would make the experience a lot better. 5% off with cash.
