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.

When we showed up for their noon lunch sitting (reservations required), they immediately knew who…read morewe were. That's because every other guest was a well-known "regular" -- a very good sign. We were ushered through the tranquil restaurant and seated at the sushi bar, a zen ambience. We chose the $55 sushi+sashimi omakase lunch course, and it didn't disappoint. The eight pieces of nigiri featured a somewhat typical selection of fish (and hotate/scallop), but slightly edgy and unique in the choice of seasoning and flavours, prepared by Chef Takinami with all the pomp and ceremony and you would expect from fine omakase. The pacing was excellent, we never felt rushed from piece to piece; the wait staff were attentive as would be expected from a high-end Japanese restaurant, on par with omakases that cost three times as much. Overall, incredible value on the meal, for both the food and experience. We couldn't help but look around at what the regulars were enjoying (in addition to their omakase nigiri) -- botan ebi nigiri with deep fried shrimp heads, chawanmushi, cooked dishes featuring monk fish livers, tempura appetizers and more... some great ideas for our next visit!

Affordable and omakase are two words that usually don't see in the same sentence. I was at the…read moreRichmond Hill Costco and upon finding out that a simple tire change would take 2+ hours, I decided to go to ATO for lunch omakase. You heard me, I didn't need to save money for months or really wait until it was a special occasion to make a reservation. You have the choice of a $45 or $65 lunch menu. Both my partner and I chose the $65 option and we were definitely full. Because it was Monday, we were the only ones at 11:30am and loved the experience. The restaurant did start filling up at noon, but we really enjoyed our time there. Other than the snowcrab, every single piece of sashimi and nigiri were spot on. I really don't think you can find fresh fish and such excellent service for this price. A normal meal is around $40 nowadays, so why not treat yourself a little better and come to ATO?

First time doing dinner omakase here, I've been here multiple times for lunch. As a friend was…read morevisiting from the east coast so had back to back omakase! The appetizer was interesting, the first sushi course, Engawa was my least favorite! Never had such weird texture and crunch fish before and I did not like it at all! We were the only diners in the entire place, it was quite strange the chef wasn't much of a talker and didn't really talk much about where the fish came from, just merely the name of the fish and that's all. Other than the snow crab from Norway. They did accommodate my allergy and replaced with Cho toro which was great! Pleasantly surprised was the dessert instead of boring ice cream, it was my favorite warabimochi!

Located on Yonge, North of Major Mackenzie…read more There is a huge lot with plenty of parking option to select from. The restaurant has plenty of seating options to suit the party size. The staff are plenty friendly. The food is very fresh and flavourful. We ordered a sushi/ sashimi platter with very generous servings. The Seafood pasta was rich and hearty. The Galbi was melt in your mouth and hits all the right notes of flavors Lastly the cold noodle was very refreshing and brought back many memories Definitely a hidden gem and the price is very competitive in today's new economy.

The ambiance was a small place it was a takeout sushi place, and I was so full but completely satisfied. My favourite was the crispy spicy salmon roll, the sushi melts in your mouth. I was impressed at the quality of sushi and the amount of people leaving and coming, the rolls were excellent and I will definitely come back here.

Came here pretty late at night after the dinner rush for some take out since I was in the area. Got greeted immediately by staff, it wasn't too busy on a weeknight around 9PM. The staff insisted that I take a seat and have a cup of tea while waiting for my order. My order surprisingly came out pretty quickly for my take out and was only able to take two small sips of my tea. Food here was amazing - just like their other location. Got two items: Orangeville roll 5/5 - Always my favourite. I love the filling to rice ratio and I feel like it's always packed to the brim. Always fresh! Spicy salmon roll 5/5 - A classic and I love that they fill it with so much spicy salmon in the roll vs. rice. Overall, loved the rolls here and thought it was fresh, delicious and super large in size. Can't wait to come back for more.

Today we ordered tempura which is really badly coated, lost the authentic Japanese tempura feel,…read morethe coating is supposed to light and thin, but their tempura's coating is so thick and oily. Will never order tempura from this place. The seat inside the booth is comfortable, but outside is very awkward. Today we sat almost face to face with another group. The seats are so tiny, cannot even fit in our jacket. The waiter didn't seem to care. Not sure if we will come back as we really don't want to be seated at the same table. Also they always use one time use chopsticks, totally not environmentally friendly.

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.

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.

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 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.
