    Came here for AYCE but they offer Al la carte too! The restaurant was a lot smaller than I expected..so the wait for a table may be long if it's busy. Seems like they rely heavily on take out as there were many pickup during my time there and I realized they had a lot of bogo promos on uber too. Food was tasty and fresh and offered good variety of cooked dishes too. Service was very quick and friendly as well. They had a promo for free keychain if you spend over $100.

    I came here from all the foodie hype and I was not disappointed. We ordered from their AYCE menu. All the sashimi tasted very fresh and was very good quality. I really enjoyed the Salmon, Butterfish, and Sweet Shrimp sashimi. Next we ordered a few rolls all they all came out presented beautifully as you will see from my photos. It was nice to see dim sum items and I was skeptical at first but they were really good quality too! Same with their hot menu items were delicious. The only thing I really did not like was their short ribs, it was really chewy and not edible. Finally, dessert was very good and i really liked that asian chocolate flavour for icecream. There are plent of seats inside and the service was quick. I would recommend you come here once and you might come back on your own a second time.

    We love that they offer an all-day AYCE menu, so you can satisfy sashimi cravings even at lunch. The selection is solid across sashimi, rolls, dim sum, and hot dishes. The fish was very fresh, the rolls were well-sized with a good rice-to-filling ratio, and the sashimi cuts were thick and satisfying. Our favorites were the salmon, butterfish, and sweet shrimp. The hot food selection was a pleasant surprise. The grilled whole squid was smoky and well-seasoned. The cheese wontons were crispy, and the addition of crab to the cream cheese filling was a nice touch. The dim sum options were also decent, with tasty har gow and shrimp siu mai. A standout was the crab claw balls, something you rarely see at AYCE spots. They were crispy and packed with umami, and easily one of our favorites. The only miss was the grilled calbi, which was overcooked to the point of being tough and difficult to eat. If you post an Instagram story and tag them, you can get one free drink in-store. We tried the sparkling green grape, which tasted like a carbonated version of the classic Chinatown tube drinks from childhood. If AYCE is not your thing, they also offer a BOGO takeout promotion on a selection of menu items available through Uber Eats or their website.

    Heard good things about Aira from a foodie friend. Service is friendly and fast. They do a lot of takeout too; there are constantly delivery drivers coming in and out. Aira offers AYCE and a la carte options; I observed that customers enjoy the AYCE more (mostly lone diners, and they order a whole table of food lol) I love how they beautifully presented the sashimi during AYCE. All items come out fast, and we were very surprised that you can even order one single siu mai for yourself (to satisfy that dim sum craving lol). I have to mention that their takoyakis are super crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! The a la carte bento boxes are super filling for me, and had to take leftovers home ^^ It comes with your choice of grilled meat, assorted tempura, 6 pcs of California rolls, white rice, and complimentary soup and salad.

    Aira Sushi is a cozy spot with fresh, tasty sashimi and sushi and a simple, welcoming vibe. The menu has a good mix of rolls, sashimi, and small plates to share. It's an easy place to enjoy a relaxed meal without feeling rushed. You can either choose AYCE or à la carte menu. We visited here for a weekend lunch and ordered dinner AYCE menu. We enjoyed fresh sashimi and creative maki rolls; great combination of fresh ingredients and tasty dressing. The staff are friendly and quick to help; all your order items will be served in a timely fashion. There are parking spots available in the plaza.

    This place is giving mom and pop shop vibes, cozy and not overly crowded. Did AYCE here, the sashimi are thick cuts, fresh and satisfying! They have a lot of good deals, like post on social for free boba, spend over $100 for free keychain, and one one get one free on certain take out items!!

    When looking for sushi on Ubereats I always order from here and it's consistently good. We came to the actual location to do their AYCE. Parking lot is a little busy but the service makes up for it. Lots of seating and it's iPad ordering. The staff members are pleasant and quick. Everything tastes good !

    Can you imagine starting your business during Covid and still thriving until the present without social media presence? Aira sushi just did it! For more than 5 years now, this spot has been serving the Richmond Hill community with their amazing Japanese dishes like sushi, sashimi; they even have breaded crab claws. But surprisingly, what stood out during our meal was the General Tso chicken - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They even got dimsum included in their AYCE. Don't forget to try their drinks. I love the Lychee Iced Tea! Currently, they are having an unbeatable promotion for their AYCE. Customers who visit Monday - Thursday (except holiday) from 11:30AM - 3:30PM can get 20% off. To save you guys from doing Math, the adult price will go down to $33.59 per person (CASH ONLY). They only have 1 menu for lunch and dinner so think about all the sashimi you'll get at the discounted price! Regular prices as of September 14, 2025 (all day): Adult: $41.99 Senior: $39.99 Kids (5-10y/o): $29.99

    Another good Japanese restaurant serving AYCE , and 20%discount if you pay cash on weekdays lunch time. Menu options are plenty, serving robot is cute and fast. Quality is average. It's quite small compared to other Japanese restaurants nearby, so you can actually talk to your friends and hear each other here. I also tried their takeout menu, it's pretty easy and fast.

    Tempura shrimp roll and california roll
    Wendy T.

    Ordered through uber eats with a friend so I'm not sure what the ambiance is like. We got the food really quickly so I think their service is quick in terms of making the food. I got a lunch special - 2 rolls. I got california roll and tempura shrimp roll. They were decent. The rice was fresh. It came with miso soup and salad. The miso soup is standard. I liked the salad, the dressing is different from other sushi places. This is me if a seasame based sauce. Overall - 4/5: I want to try other menu items in store

    Avocado sushi

    We were looking for nearby restaurant and we found this cozy hidden sushi. AYCE and ala cart options available. Food is fresh and amazing. Veggie options available. Robot delivered some of our order. Friendly service. Reasonable prices. Discount for lunch on weekdays. Cash preferred. Overall I'm glad to stumble upon this place and I'm surely coming back.

    Red dragon roll and green dragon roll
    Yu X.

    Aira sushi is doing buy one get one free for selected items on Uber eats currently, so I ordered their green dragon roll (dynamite roll topped with avacado) and red dragon roll (dynamite roll topped with salmon) takeout. The sushi was okay fresh and with good portion. With the average quality, it would be expensive if it is at regular price ($20 per 8 piece roll).

    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.

    Taki is a fine dining Japanese restaurant located in the busy commerical areas of Richmond Hill…read more We recently had lunch here for a special occasion. 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.

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.

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.

    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.
