I came in last Thursday with family. Based on other reviews, we did not get lost in finding the restaurant in the Halibut House/TD Plaza off Wootten Way. We ordered the green dragon roll, dynamite roll, and spicy salmon maki, and uni sushi. All the sushi was delicious and fresh. The food did not take long and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I'd recommend anyone with a sushi craving in the Markham area to try this restaurant. read more

When we want sushi for dinner this is our go to place. It's always fresh and they have a great variety. I wouldn't say I am a sushi expert, mostly we stick with the veggie options. The wife loves the yam rolls. I like it all! This place looks family run and you usually get great quality when it's family run. It's a tad pricey compared to others but for us it's worth it due to the freshness. read more

Markham Sushi - Veggie tray! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Markham, Ontario

My wife and I have been frequenting Markham Sushi (also known as Mei Mon Markham Sushi) now for a little over a year and it never disappoints. That said, here's our take on this lovely little establishment: Location: Tucked back in a plaza off Highway 7, its a place that can be easy to miss if you're not looking for the main plaza sign listing. Once you find it, it almost takes on a feel of being your own hidden hideaway, and reminiscent of that 'izakaya' feel I experienced while living in Osaka myself. Though it can be tricky to spot without a keen eye, you'll feel like you've stumbled across a secret place. Atmosphere: Dim lighting, private seating and cultural decor set in an intimate space all contribute to a very comfortable, relaxed, atmospheric experience that feels like a great 'date' place or an after work dinner and drinks spot. Positive vibe all around. Service: Friendly, courteous service, whether dining in or taking out. It's a family run place, who you can see make it their business to ensure their customers are taken care of. One such experience comes to mind once when we picked up an incorrect takeout order. Upon arriving home and finding out, the staff were very apologetic and were very willing to drive out the correct order to us (even though we were out of the delivery range), or heavily discount our meal. Its service like this that ensures customers know the staff are concerned with maintaining repeat visits. Food: Fantastic Japanese fare, the best we've had in the Markham area bar none. From their chicken teriyaki and tempura dishes, to their sushi rolls and bulgogi, their bento sets are fantastic. Portion sizes are more than generous, and the menu expansive, so be prepared to allow yourself some time to go through it. Can't say enough about how much we enjoy the food there, we actually drive 15+ minutes to this place despite having two Japanese restaurants within 5 minutes from us (far superior to both of these). Value: Markham Sushi is a mid-range Japanese restaurant price wise, but the value you receive in return by far surpasses the price. Most definitely a win here. The Bottom line: If Japanese is your cuisine of choice, Markham Sushi will surely not disappoint. Everything about our experiences frequenting this place has been nothing but positive every time. We'll continue to hit up Markham Sushi as our 'go-to' for Japanese in Markham. Five stars for us without hesitation. Tip: Be aware the restaurant is closed Sundays. read more

This is me and my boyfriends absolute favourite sushi restaurant to go to in Markham ! A hidden gem. We first fell in love because of their black dragon roll. Comes out fresh and warm. You can always tell their sashimi is always fresh as well. We've become regular customers that the family that works there always recognizes and welcomes us. They are extremely sweet and always knows what we look for in our orders. I recommend this restaurant if you're looking for good sushi !! PS. 10% off if you pay cash ! (Take out only) read more

A relatively simple menu of fresh Japanese staples and also some Korean favourites too. I came here around 7pm on a Wednesday. The space is small but bustling. Many tables were either taken or in need of cleaning (they seem to not clean tables unless someone is in need of a seat). The sushi and sashimi are incredibly fresh. The rolls are wrapped so delicately with the thinnest layer of rice. I had the sashimi platter for 2 which had a variety of fish including ika, octopus, salmon, scallop, talapia, surf clam and butter fish. The soy sauce is lightly salty which compliments the fish perfectly. Would go again if in the area. The staff is quite friendly and the food is good, not expensive or cheap but appropriately priced for the quality and variety of fish they offer. read more

A nice, quiet mom and pop sort of sushi spot. It has a small but intimate feel to it. Definitely a good place to eat if you're on a date. Food comes a little slow at times, but the server is so nice you can't really be mad about it. Only negative is that the place is so small, so everyone can hear you if you speak a little louder. Not my favourite place, but definitely not a bad place to satisfy your sushi cravings. read more

Great local place Had the Okonomiyaki and while it was good it was very different from the Okonomi House on Charles St, smaller in size but very tasty. Service was awesome and the place had a nice cozy feel to it. They have a great menu and some good lunch deals. For just being down the street it will make it easy to return, regularly. read more

I have been to this place several times over the last five years. The first time we went a table behind us found a worm in their edamame and were offered a $5 discount. This deterred us from wanting to go back but eventually we did and had been enjoying it until our last experience. I ordered on the phone take out, and in the middle of the conversation was interrupted by the mother of the person on the phone who accused me of having placed an order the night before. Not having listened to my gut I still ordered and picked up. It was clear that they didn't believe me because when I went 30 mins later to pick up my order (they said 25) they hadn't started it. I waited another 15 mins and there was no apology. They clearly do not know how to deal with customers and have no appreciation for their customers. read more

This place is about two minutes by foot from my house, so naturally I've had dinner here on many a night. The atmosphere is really nice for a little strip mall, and the owners are a very nice Korean couple by the names of Paul and Grace. What you need to know is basically this: their salad dressing is very very good and probably made in-house, service is average, the place is always impeccably clean and ingredients are insanely fresh. The sushi rolls are nice and thick, the rice is cooked perfectly, and the fish doesn't have a hint of unpleasant taste. Tempura is more vegetable than batter, noodles are generous, teriyaki sauce is delicious. Their bulgogi is also great. You can have pop, beer or sake to drink and ice cream for dessert. I recommend their vegetable rice if you like something sweet, katsu udon if you would like something a bit heavier, and their sushi for any reason whatsoever. read more

So we enjoy eating here but it's New Years Eve. Ordered around 5pm and they said earliest pickup was 8:15. Came at 8:15 and people from 7:30 were still waiting. Came back at 9pm and still waiting. If you cannot maintain order speed take less orders. Things like this make me want to not return even though we've eaten here since our kids were 2. (They're 20). Family is waiting and it's almost an hour past order time. read more

A local sushi gem. Markham sushi has the absolute freshest fish. As mentioned many times, this is an a la carte restaurant which means more money but tonnes more quality. I have been here many times and its just always so good! My favourites are the assorted sashimi platter and the spider rolls. TRY THE SPIDER ROLLS- you will not regret it. Always great food and definitely always great service. I would also like to mention that on a couple occassions, Mr song, the owner came by the table and felt as though we were still hungry so he have us more rolls for free! He is a very nice man and that was much appreciated. read more

Excellent and cozy place to chill on some sushi and wash it down with a Sapporo. I'll go back soon. Staff is nice too. No rush no fuss. read more

Markham Sushi - This was different ... - Sushi Bars Near Me - Markham, Ontario

This placed is tucked inside a plaza that I wouldn't even visit if my friend didn't even tell me there was a sushi place. Went to try this place tonight...sighs..why is Japanese food in york region so disappointing...I mean it's not the cheapest fast eats like a food court....Japanese food is not suppose to be like this...considering the fact this place looks like it was owned by either Koreans or Japanese...more to Korean side I believe. I would have expected more versus a Japanese restaurant owned by Chinese peepz. Anyways, we ordered the Sashimi platter and once again, I am disappointed...why do they cut the fish so thick? why? I don't mind places giving me less and charging me more if the quality is there...the sashimi was so thick it looked like beef tenderloin thickness...I miss Japan badly! service...close to none..the place wasn't packed...but I guess due to the limited staff (seems like only the family works there) we got close to no service. But I was gracious enough to even give them 12% for no service.... disappointed..should I just stop eating Japanese food in Toronto? Save my $ and go back to Japan for another visit... Please God, give me a decent Japanese place... read more

Go if you want fresh sushi I'd recommend this place for couples. Polite servers and great service Most of all, proper food. read more

Yelp is right again, a solid 3.5 stars, but lets round up because customer service was superb! We ordered the takoyaki and edamame special for $8.50 and also a sushi rolls platter. Overall, the sushi was pretty good, they even add a bit of mayo into the tempura shrimp roll giving it more taste than other Japanese restaurants. This restaurant offers bento boxes and a build your own bento for $20. So you are definitely looking at OSAKA prices (the restaurant down the street). For the pieces of fish we ordered, they were generally fresh, BUT they serve the sushi with soya sauce that is NOT Japanese. The saltiness of their soya sauce made their sushi less tasteful and VERY salty. I could see myself coming back, but bringing my own soya sauce. I hope they see this review and consider swapping their sauces out to Japanese sushi soya sauce. It really does make a difference, especially if I am going to pay over $20 per person. I expect the real stuff! read more

I've been here once, I wanted sushi last night and thought I'll make another visit, their sushi is fresh and it was close to home so my friends and I (4) decided to drive there. Once we got there, the waitress came out and told us the food would take an hour to arrive and asked if that was OK. She mentioned they just received a large order of sushi order and won't be able to make more sushi until an hour later. It was roughly 8pm at this point and yes we are hungry and no that's not OK.... So we left and headed to another sushi place. My advice? Maybe hire another sushi chef....... read more

This is my favorite sushi place in Markham. I've been visiting it for approximately four or five years now. The couple who owns it are very nice and sweet. The food is always delicious and the atmosphere is nice and calming. I usually order the beef udon and a few rolls, usually the green dragon roll and a spider roll. The beef udon is wonderful in the winter. The broth is rich and beefy and each sip just fills you up with a sense if well-being. The noodles and nice and chewy, I love the texture. Theres a nice amount of beef and the vegtables are nive abd fresh. The rolls, you really can't go wrong with them. Chef Paul always does a wonderful job with them. They take pride in making sure they present the customer with the freshest and moat delicious food possible. The service here is always lovely. They greet you nicely and always make sure you have tea. read more

Service is extremely slow...esp on a Friday I use to serve, and watching under staffed restaurants is giving me a sore eye. Food quality very good and service is very friendly. They only need to work on keeping their customers occupied since the food is slow in delivery. Then again, this goes back to the under staffed statement. read more

Friendly service, family sushi restaurant. Fish is sweet and fresh. Nice and quiet environment. I love it! read more

Markham Sushi - Sweet fresh fish! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Amazing! Been coming here for a long time. Moved out of the area but everytime i have a chance i come back

The place is very clean and the staff is nice. Service was good as well. Sushi was pretty small (like in all-you-can-eat sushi restaurants) but the tempura and sushi rolls (Maki) were very tasty. The seating setup is nice with a mix of tables and booths for those that like privacy. All in all a good sushi restaurant. read more

Markham Sushi - First time at Markham Sushi :) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Markham, Ontario

This is our local sushi place and although we have tried many others in the Markham area we always end up coming back here and are recognized and welcomed. Family owned and operated, Markham Sushi offers fresh, tasty sushi and sashimi in addition to chicken, beef or shrimp teriyaki and other dishes. Dinners come with miso soup and salad with delicious ginger dressing, or you can change it up with seaweed salad instead. Takeout is usually ready with 15-20 minutes. Prices are reasonable and competitive with similar places in the area. One caveat: their takeout business is as busy as the eat-in side and sometimes service is slower to accommodate large orders, a usual 15 minute order could sometimes end up taking 45 minutes. read more

Came here a couple of time as it became my favorite spot to get Japanese food. The place is quite small and minimalistic, but it has a sort of homey feeling to it. Staffs are really friendly. Their foods are really good, especially the stir-fried seafood udon. read more

Stopped in here to grab some take out before an appointment in the area. It's a hidden away restaurant in a strip plaza and if I hadn't seen the sign in front i wouldn't have realized it was there. A fish and chips place is right out front and we were considering going there but decided sushi was a healthier option. It was 5:30 on a Monday and the restaurant was completely empty. We ordered 6 rolls and our bill came to just over $30. There is a 10% discount if you pay cash :). We were told 20 minutes before our rolls would be ready which was a problem as we had to go. They managed to get everything done in 10 minutes. The rolls were good, but small. It felt like we ordered the mini version of the regular rolls. There wasn't anything special about these rolls, and I don't know if I would recommend or go back. Staff were pleasant and food was quick. read more

Loved the sushi, fish was very fresh! Ordered sushi and sashimi dinner combo for $14.99 which came with soup and salad, only problem was that it was a bit pricey for not enough food...but maybe I just eat a lot haha read more

Waitress rushed my order and they ran out of noodles that come with the bento lunch. Server never checked up on us and the galbi was all fat 20% meat. Salad was good. Disappointed read more

My go to sushi place not only cause it's so close to home but this tiny restaurant has a very high standard for quality of their food. My favourite is their salad with the ginger dressing. Always get it when I come here. Prices are fair, staff are super friendly. Service is not super fast but the slight wait is worth it once you get their super delicious food. Highly recommend this place and be careful during rush hours cause this place does fill up fast. read more

First time, went in for lunch today and found that there was quite a selection on the menu. I had one of the Maki specials (12 rolls) which included spicy salmon and yam rolls and a miso soup. I also tried the unagi maki (6 rolls). Taste was really authentic (I'm no expert) and decently priced. The servings seemed a bit small and that's why I ended up with 18 rolls. I may try the Bento box specials on another day as that looks to be the best value. read more

My wife and I had a craving for non-all-u-can-eat sushi, so we decided to give this place a chance as the reviews on here seemed ok. Back in the 80s and 90s, this place was a mom and pop burger place (Polly's Kitchen). Love the fact they kept the original wood siding! Never judge a book by its cover....sure the interior isn't the greatest, but hey...isn't it about the food? We ordered some dragon rolls, red dragon rolls and a stir fry. Very fresh ingredients used and probably had the best dragon rolls I have ever eaten. Will definitely go back! The avocado tasted like butter! Cannot wait to go back! They have been in business since 2000....a lot of people from the immediate neighbourhood mostly. Take out is popular too. Do yourself a favour and stop going to the ayce places and spend some $ on good quality a la carte sushi from Markham Sushi :). read more

I really like this little place. It's located in an old, hidden little strip plaza with no road visibility at all, but once you're inside, it's really cozy. I love sitting in the booths; gives you a sense of privacy, which I really enjoy. Service was polite. Food was very nice, prices reasonable. There's nothing fancy about this place, but for a neighbourhood sushi place, it's what I'm looking for. I'll be back for sure. Enjoyed a quiet 'getaway' lunch with my wife, and really was the right escape for us. read more

This is our close to home "go-to" sushi restaurant after we had to disengage from our previous neighbourhood "go-to" of Daisuki which nosedived and that's another review. Service is always good for us. We're seated quickly and food comes with little wait. Agreed with previous reviewers that the food does not have a big WOW factor but it's perfectly good, tasty and consistent, read more

Another average sushi place but the food is fresh. Appears to be family run. Decent sushi with relatively cheap prices. Hard to find as its in a little strip mall near the TD bank. Been here twice - once for take-out and another time for dine-in. Service was friendly. read more

Had bento box lunch special. Decent pricy. Little family run restaurant, service can be quite slow during lunch hours. Beef bulgogi was too salty for my liking. Sushi was decent read more

We have ordered take out and ate in once. service is fast and everything tastes awesome! wish the portions were bigger but its yum!

Friendly staff...family run business...fresh and delicious sushi and rolls. I like that the menu is constantly adding new items so there is always something new to try. We usually order take out, but the restaurant is quite nice and has been recently updated. read more

Love this place, service is slow but it's a small family place and everyone loves it, so you will probably wait. Food is great and it is cozy. read more

Gonna try to be as fair & as level-headed as possible while writing this review (considering I'm pretty annoyed). Friends and I made a reservation for ~14 people. We were told to get there on time because they won't hold our table. Cool! We get there at 6pm - the time of our reservation. My husband and I were the first to place our orders at around 6:20. We ordered the nigiri bento, black dragon rolls and spicy salmon avocado roll. One by one our friends sporadically started getting their food. First gyozas came, then a bowl of udon soup, then a large platter of sushi and rolls, tempura, another order of rolls, then we waited for the 3 last meals... and waited. We asked about our order and was assured that it was coming. Continued to wait. At this point, we've seen people arrive at the restaurant after us, finish eating and leave. At 7:15, our baby was fussing, so we decided to ask them to change our order to take out. The server was nice overall, but offered her explanation as to why the food was coming out slowly: "we're a mom and pop shop. We're not used to having a full house". Well congratulations on the full house, but if you can't handle it, then maybe don't have so many tables?? And why tell us you can't hold our table if you're not expecting a lot of people? At 7:32, we finally got our order. We get home starving. We tear the boxes open... and there's no soy sauce! Food: Pricey for what you get, presentation of rolls and nigiri sushi was nice, but nigiri portion was modest. Spicy salmon was pretty tasteless. Ginger and wasabi get a thumbs up. Soy sauce: missing. In conclusion, I was left hungry and annoyed. Definitely drive a little west on Hwy 7 and eat at Osaka Sushi instead, a mom & pop shop that won't leave you waiting over an hour for your food. read more

I've passed this place a million times and never thought if of trying it (I'm a little spoiled when it comes to sushi, and a bit of a sushi snob). I tried it a out a month ago on a recommendation from my sister in law, and have been there again since. Both times I got different lunch combos for 3 people. I always got a sushi combo lunch for myself, which I though was a good value and tasted great. Others seemed to like their food as well. Good choices for a build your own bento box. Looking forward to trying the okonomiyaki and takoyaki. read more

Always fresh and the sushi is so good - the diablo roll is my favourite. The service can be a little slow at times but the sushi makes up for it! read more

This is our favorite local spot. friendly service, sushi and maki perfectly sized. Consistent and delicious.
