I ordered the salmon lover combo and white mountain sushi. For the appetizer I got takoyaki. This is a nice dainty restaurant not usually the part of Mississauga i'm from but I decided to venture off and try it today. As someone who absolutely loves sushi, I really enjoyed their rolls! The portions are great and everything was prepared well. Service was quite quick and the waiter was quite nice and accommodating and refilled my water without asking. They also had some special rolls I've never quite seen before and so I would come back just to try them. Overall enjoyed the vibes and the food. read more

I came here to celebrate my sisters birthday and it was the perfect spot. I consider myself a sushi enthusiast and enjoyed it very much. They had a big menu with lots of fish, appetizers and drinks. A lot of traditional Asian dishes are available here if that's what you're looking for. I ordered a uni rolls and they were amazing. The service here was good with each room having a bell to ring the sever. Some of the fellow guest wanted hot water instead of cold or extra sides and they accommodated instantly. We sat in a private but that might be because we had a reservation. The lighting was nice and art was displayed. A good temperature throughout the restaurant ensures comfort. If your like me and enjoy fresh seafood then this is the place. read more

Dai Ichi Sushi Restaurant - Sushi platter - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

I have high hopes in this restaurant especially after seeing a video on this . Ambiance is great! I loved the booths and it gives extra privacy! I got it cause I reserved in advance for my bestie's bday! Service is impeccable ,staff has a welcoming smile and attentive service. I scored 3 stars cause I expected more flavour and it didn't deliver unfortunately . The bulgogi beef is very good and the cucumber salad was tasty. The shrimp tempura however lacks the shrimp lol and it's full of batter. It was a nice experience all in all because of the privacy. There is a room for improvement . read more

Our go to place for great food. The mix of Japanese and Korean fits well with the family.

Who said sushi is not for vegetarians. This restaurant definitely does not think that . They have some amazing variety for sushi for vegetarians. I ordered a veggie sushi maki tray with 36 pieces. They had different varieties like cucumber and avocado, fried tempura, mushrooms and yam . Loved the fried tempura one the most . The price was also reasonable and not on the higher side . I definitely want to have more kinds of veg options there but definitely they have good options . Everything was packed beautifully and the lady spoke really well with very kind staff. read more

I've been here twice in the last month, with the most recent trip being for my daughter's birthday. We had one of the private booths which was great for us, because 2 of my kids are uncouth barbarians. I had the Maki set dinner. It also came with miso soup. The miso soup here is ok. Its well blended and tastes fine. It just wasn't jumping out at me. The sushi however was good. I had the spicy tuna, spicy salmon and california rolls. as part of my set meal. I'm glad that the spicy ones were actually spicy, so many places are afraid to go spicy. One of my kids isn't really into asian food, and needed ketchup to help out his chicken tempura. We had have a challenge with the service being a bit slow and when we pressed the button, nobody came for 10 minutes read more

Ordered here for hubby's birthday (the second in quarantine) and we really enjoyed the sushi. We opted for their maki set and added a lobster tempura roll on the side. Sushi tasted fresh, was beautifully presented and really hit the spot. For those who enjoy spicy sushi, the rolls we picked had some real heat which was awesome. The lobster tempura roll was my fave, so so good. This will likely be our go to sushi place from now on. read more

This is one of those places you drive by all the time and always forget to try. Well it happened people! Sushi lunch to enjoy on a team call, what's better? I ordered yam avocado roll and spicy crispy salmon roll. Simple but SO satisfying! I noticed that the rolls were coming a part when i was eating them more than usual. I thought that was interesting but it didn't affect the flavour in my opinion. As you can see in the photos it was well packed and well dressed with toppings! I would be happy to order again from Dai Ichi and try some other items - seems like they also have Korean dishes on the menu as well! read more

Overall a good experience. The waitress was very pleasant. We were seated in an individual booth, so it felt clean/safe. We usually order takeout sushi and the food is very consistent.

I had their lunch special, box D (Sashimi + Sushi). The fish was fresh and good quality. You'd be comfortably full after the meal. However, the price is leaning on the higher side considering it's their lunch special. I also think it's really odd to add white rice along with sushi (that's too much rice). Something like Bulgogi would make sense, but Bento rice with Sashimi/Sushi is just not a good match and redundant. Taste was definitely good and probably the best sushi around this region. This is a perfect place to come for business lunch and satisfy your cravings for Japanese food. read more

Dai Ichi Sushi Restaurant - Box D Lunch Special (Sushi + Sashimi). - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Sushi was filling and good (a standard of Japanese restaurants). I recommend the sashimi platter or have some included in your Bento Box for more quality and value. Some food were a minus tho: the chicken teriyaki seemed poor quality, the Pork Bone soup lacks in comparison and the side dishes were just ok... which did worry us but on the safe side, order the sushi/sashimi or the better cooked ones.. The nicest features are the high partitioned closed-off booths. With short door curtains and outstanding service (also a doorbell), it felt like our own secluded space. Their functional arrangement sets a cozy mood for dates, groups and families. Tip: Tasty cocktails can be requested in alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions. read more

I've been to this place twice over the course of 8 years and gotta say, both times it was great! For me, this place has a special spot in my heart as it's the first sushi place I went after starting my first job out of school. I went here with a colleagues who were starting at the same organization. We ended up at this place by accident, originally looking for another place to go to at the time, and back then, Google on a mobile phone wasn't the greatest so we really didn't have any other options at that point. The place was a Korean run sushi joint but the food was very fresh, authentic-feeling with lots of great and fresh flavours. We ordered a large sushi, sashimi, roll combo boat for a table of 10. Fast forward to today, and again, this place was on-point. Had 3 lunch special boxes, I had the sashimi, roll and sushi box with a nice variety of everything. Colleagues had something similar and look, for an a-la-carte joint, this is a great place to end up eating. Prices are fair and you'll be happy in dining here. What really makes it is the service. The service is very friendly, fast, and for regulars they remember your order and have it ready for you once you give them the nod. I also got take-out from here a few weeks later and couldn't be disappointed. put together really well with what looked like lots of pride and ownership. The type of sushi you want to eat, especially if you are eating in an A-la-carte environment. Giving this 4.0 out of 5.0 and stand by this. read more

Tucked in a plaza by the Longos at Laird & Winston Churchill. I visited this little spot coz my little and I were craving some sushi. We came on Saturday at around 12:30pm. There were lots of patrons but it wasn't full. They have some tatami rooms and some booths. It's a quaint spot. Food: the sushi was good and the fish was fresh. They do need to give a bit more wasabi. There is a very little dollop of it with about 2 slices if pickled ginger for a serving. The Tempura Udon was par to most places that I've had this soup at. There is nothing to rave home about. Service: Maybe it's the way the restaurant is laid out? The booths do block you from being seen easily by staff? However, it took quite some time to get someone to take our order. Basically, they came to drop off the menu and never really came back. They had the table doorbell to flag them for service. I personally don't want to have to use this. At first I thought maybe they just had 1 server which wouldn't have made sense since they had 2 sushi chefs at the bar. I had to look up over our booth divider to check well, turns out there were 3 and 2 of them were kinda just hanging out at the counter. So, press the button it is. 1x...2x...oh maybe 3x the charm. Finally! She seemed annoyed I rang the bell. So that takes off a full star. The rest of the service during our lunch was pretty meh. So, this didn't really make up for any issues at the very beginning. With that being said, I wouldn't necessarily completely cross it off my list. However, o also wouldn't go out of my way to go there. If in the area and craving sushi....hmmm...maybe. read more

Yummy sushi! Super friendly, very attentive staff! We sat in a private booth/"room" that's super cute & very cozy, which has a button you press to call for serve - they come back to your table very quickly! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious: Fire caterpillar roll, Dai Ichi supreme roll, Volcano roll, Dynamite roll, Christmas roll, Bacon dragon roll. Only reason I didn't give them 5 stars: Location is a bit run down (but as soon as you walk into the restaurant you are greeted with such enthusiasm, you quickly forget the outside appear). The decor is a little dated, but still kinda cute! Also, it was a bit warm in the little private booth/"room" (but you quickly let it go & enjoy the super cute surrounding). It also sounded like the kitchen might have been using a microwave - not sure for what!?! Maybe the non-sushi stuff???...because the sushi rolls definitely tasted fresh and not microwaved! My family also enjoyed their green tea cheesecake and green tea ice cream! We will definitely go back!!! LOVED it!!! read more

Me and my friend were craving for sushi on Friday. We decided to try Dai Ichi out after a friend of mine told me how great it was. The prices were a bit more expensive than Sushi One (where we always go to when we hangout) and they didn't have many sushi dinner selections. However, they had a lot of variety for their Japanese and Korean dishes! Me and my friend really wanted to the Yaki udon but we stuck with sushi because that's why we were there in the first place. We both ordered the maki set dinner. The service is relatively fast because we didn't have to wait very long for our order to arrive. The sushi was amazing! I think I said it was so good at least twice during dinner haha! I was amazed that the maki rolls didn't fall apart and they tasted scrumptious! Usually california rolls are just okay but the california rolls here were yummy. The spicy salmon rolls were quite spicy for me (I can't tolerate spiciness) but they were so good that I just had to eat them. For dessert, they gave us fruit instead of green tea ice cream which was a surprise because many places give out ice cream instead. I would definitely go back and try their Japanese and Korean dishes. read more

Been in Mississauga for 20 years but never knew about this place. Was yelping to see where is a good place to eat on father's day & made a reservation.

Sushi was ok but definitely had tons of option at cheaper prices around the area. read more

I'm going to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt and assume that the chef was just having an off day, but I was really unimpressed with the bulgogi last night. My husband and I had a late lunch (or early dinner, depending on how you look at it), and spent around $130. My husband is a big eater (and over orderer) and we ordered drinks. Not a bad sale for a Thursday afternoon in an empty restaurant. We ordered sashimi and sushi, which was fresh and well prepared, as usual. We decided to take an order of bulgogi to go, because we were so impressed with it last time (I figured it would save us from doing dinner later, or at least hubby could take it to work the next day). Previously, we had eaten a perfectly soft, well seasoned simmered beef dish, generously portioned. I suspect that ordering the beef to go gives the kitchen the idea that they don't need to put the same care into the food, and the portions can be reduced. I was really irritated when we tasted the lifeless, chewy meat later that evening. It was a huge disappointment. We will probably give Dai Ichi one more try, but we will never order anything to go ever again. Just because they are convenient does not mean we will continue to eat here if the food quality diminishes any further. read more

This place is an absolutely gem. You wouldn't guess it by the mall its located in, tucked away, and somewhat difficult to access, but I recommend this place for all and every sushi lover. The decor itself isn't great but the food quality compensates indeed. read more

Upon second review, I am usually fond of the quality of their food. However I had found consistency that when it comes to takeout deliveries, they take hours to make. They tell you on the phone that it will be ready in 45 minutes, only for you to arrive and noticed that they haven't started the order yet. The restaurant is not even busy where people are outside of the doors yet this is an example of poor time management on the business side. read more

Full disclosure: I haven't been to an a la carte sushi place in over a decade. Since the local discovery of the AYCE, I haven't gone back. Yes, I will sacrifice quality for quantity in some cases. Not all. That being said, we found ourselves at Dai Ichi a week ago. After the initial sticker shock wore off, we set about finding a comparable meal to what we would normally order at an AYCE. My bf and I settled on bento boxes, plus a maki roll to share. The boxes were nice and just filling enough that you don't leave hungry. However, individual components of the box were troublesome. The salad dressing was too watered down. Also, the chicken in the teriyaki is obviously of poor quality, in fact seemed like a pre-made product that was heated in bag and dumped into box. The flavour of the sauce was weird. My bf said the same for his salmon teriyaki, poor quality fish with strange sauce. The rice surrounding the maki roll was too hard and seemed a bit stale. The tempura, however, was amazingly delicious and redeemed the meal for us. Service was pleasant enough, non complaints there. They seemed to have a very loyal customer base that does regular take out. They remembered all of their names which was impressive. For me, if the meal was outstanding, I would have no issues with the overall cost. However, we have had better meals at the AYCE down the road for less money. Due to that, I will likely not return to Dai Ichi. read more

DELICIOUS!!! I got the veggie dinner bento box and it was too much food for me! Tasted amazing. I will definitely order from here again. They really thought out the veggie dishes and they weren't boring at all. Really pleased! read more

Absolutely stunning Korean food, in the most unlikely nook. The storefront looks a little crappy... tacky 80s yellow coloring on the back-lit plastic awning, and the window menus (and photos) are all sun-faded, giving this restaurant a slightly run-down, almost sketchy appearance from the outset... IT'S ALL A RUSE, by god! Enter enter enter! The interior is decked out from back to front in a Korean aesthetic. Your choices of seating are either super roomy booths OR curtained private rooms which seat up to 8 people. You get menus and waters immediately, but the best part of the ordering is that every table has its own silent doorbell, so you push the button when you would like the server's attention, being ready to order or for any other matter. Great idea! The menu is very large, and despite the name of the restaurant, the menu is weighted 60/40 Korean vs Japanese cuisine, the latter almost exclusively sushi & teriyaki with some udons . My partner and I ordered two different kinds of tea (green and gin seng). Between us both, we ordered a dol sot bibim bop (meat/rice/veggie dish served in a cracklin' hot stone bowl) a spicy Udon seafood soup (Udon is thick, long noodles), and an order of Toro (fatty tuna) sushi. The food was excellent, hot, fresh, flavorful. There's almost nothing I like more than a well-served dol sot bibim bop (it's one of my favorites), except spicy Udon seafood soup from Dai Ichi Sushi, apparently. I couldn't stop sipping from my partner's soup with all it's succulent fish fat flavors, and a spicy punch to finish off each slurp. The sushi was super. I could eat here 100 times a year, if I lived closer. The only caveat I could possibly muster is that the servers and staff are made to wear "traditional" garb. I'm already ambivalent when the interior of a restaurant aims for some impossibly abstract delivery of "authenticity" - but when the staff is forced to perform some strange trans-historical simulacra of "tradition" - I just feel self-conscious and weirded-out. If you have a costume fetish, however, then this place will meet your need. In any event, it couldn't POSSIBLY effect the 5-star quality of the food and service. It's listed as being on Winston Churchill (which is where the driveway is located), but the Dai Ichi Sushi storefront is actually in a small strip mall tucked just back from Winston Churchill itself, partially obscured from view... just do a google maps search to find it. read more

Want to give 5 stars but the takeout is kind of slow, especially in the last couple months. Sashimi is very fresh, if you've only done AYCE then you'll be in for a treat in the quality. Staff is very friendly and they remember you which is nice. Their other dishes like bulgogi n bibimbap are great also read more

As close as it could get to Korea Town. I was craving one of my favourite Korean dishes, Kam Pong Gi, but didn't feel like driving all the way to Korea Town to get my fix. So the only solution was to find something as good or close to good as Korea Town in Sauga. Yes, I know mission impossible, but I was determined to find something especially since I live in Sauga. After looking up the majority of the Korean restaurants in Sauga I went straight to their online menu to find my dish. This was the only place that actually had it so that made it alot easier. MIND you I did find out later on that there were 5 other places that had the dish I still have yet to try those other places. So me and my boyz and girlz arrived at the place and all I have to say is WOOD. From the walls, sushi table, booths to all the tables. The waitresses are dressed in a kimono or a Korean outfit, I don't know if there is a difference b/w the two if there is please let me know. BTW don't be mad if you think the service is crappy b/c it isn't, you just have to find the call bell, they answer that bell as soon as you press it. Lastly one thing that I really notice was the T.V monitors playing the golf channel, Koreans love their golf. The menu was pretty big, containing a good mixture of both Korean and Japanese, price wise for a dinner or lunch deal you're looking at $15-20, which is pretty reasonable considering you get unlimited apps, soup, salad, and rice. Sushi is roughly $1 per piece, maki rolls $10-$15, and a boat can go from $20 and up. We ended up ordering Kam Pong Gi, Spicy Bulgogi, Bulgogi, Kalbi, Volcano Roll, Lobster Dynamite Roll, and Lobster Tempura. Good amount of food to feed 8 people. The Kam Pong Gi, which is kinda like the Korean version of General Tao Chicken, but way better, fulfilled my craving. My only complaint about it was that it wasn't as spicy as the ones from Korea Town, but don't get me wrong if I were to just order that item I would be very satisfied. The Bulgogi, was just okay, but if you get the Spicy Bulgogi that hit the spot, very flavorful and a lot more depth than the regular Bulgogi. The Kalbi was very well marinated and cooked just right. The maki rolls were good but there were little things that I was not a fan of. For one the sweet potato that was added to the Volcano Roll ruined it however I did like how they lit the roll on fire when they brought it out. Great presentation. As for the lobster roll and tempura I will never get it again b/c honestly it's not worth the price and it just tasted like a bigger version of a shrimp tempura. One last thing on the dinner items, they are definitely share items, I'd say if you split one of the dinner items b/w two people you would be full. In the end I found a new Korean Restaurant in Sauga and have been a regular since. Items to definitely get: - Kam Pong Gi - Spicy Bulgogi - Kalbi - Spicy cucumber (free app if you get a dinner combo) read more

I was surprised to learn that this hidden jewel is going onto being in business for 15 years. This family run joint has really really good food. I have just recently discovered it in the last year. The service is excellent. All of the servers are very friendly and will do their best to accommodate even the pickiest of eaters (my 5 year old son and my wife who cannot have any gluten) which I appreciate. They have even stocked gluten free soy sauce for her. Lets roll onto the food now. My favorite items include the kalbi dinner, kam poon gi, and the various premium rolls. My new go to item to order has been the sushi premium where you can pick from any of their premium rolls and get other sushi as well. It does get very busy during the weekends so my advice would be to call ahead when placing take out orders instead of going there to place it and also call them for reservations if you want one of the private booths because they are cozy and the kids love them! read more

Definitely one of the better sushi places in Mississauga. Fish is very fresh and good quality. Best spicy salmon roll I have ever tasted - just so refreshing. The only reason I took off a star was because of the price. If it was not as expensive, I would definitely come more often. The food is very delicious, but sometimes it was not very filling if I only ordered a few rolls. read more

STAY AWAY! If you are looking for fresh sushi, this is NOT the place for you. I didn't even finish my lunch platter; the sushi quality was so poor. The spicy tuna roll smelled "fishy". Sorry to write such a review, but I wish I read this review as a deterrent to try this restaurant. read more
