It is a small place located in the plaza across from Bayview Secondary School. We ordered takeout. It took a bit to prepare our food but we ordered quite a bit. We ordered a 34 piece roll set, 9 piece sashimi set and a coke. The quality is good. The sashimi isn't as thick as other places. It was filling for 2 people. read more

Pearl Sushi - 34 piece roll set, 9 piece sashimi, coke - Japanese Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. We called twice before placing the order to make sure the rolls were packed separately and without sauce. They confirmed both times. The food still arrived all thrown together, drenched in sauce, and leaking everywhere, completely inedible. When we went back to fix it, the staff were rude, dismissive, and openly hostile. They counted the sushi pieces like we were trying to scam them, refused to replace anything we'd had to throw away due to their own mistake, and halfway through remaking the order they aggressively threw it in the garbage right in front of us. Then they told us to "Go complain to Uber". Zero professionalism, zero respect for customers, and absolutely no accountability. Avoid this place at all costs, terrible food handling, disgusting service, and management that clearly doesn't care about its customers. read more

Came here yesterday (Wednesday) evening at 6:30 p.m. to meet up with a friend for dinner. It was very quiet inside & we were the only customers until approximately 8:30 p.m. when another group came in as we were wrapping up. This made it a great place for catching up. Pearl Sushi not only offers Japanese food such as sashimi, sushi, rolls but it also has Korean options such as kimchi fried rice, kalbi (available in a dinner or bento box set), bulgogi, soon dubu, etc. I opted for their roll set 2 (14 pieces) at $24 - 8 pcs. spider roll, 6 pcs. California roll and tempura. The rolls were fresh and just the right size for one bite. The tempura was a full order that you would usually get when you order it a la carte with 2 pieces of shrimp, broccoli, pumpkin, sweet potato and green beans. The batter was light, not too oily and the sweet soya sauce was nice. My friend had the kalbi bento box at $33. The only thing that she did not like about it was the most important part of the box which was the kalbi. It was mostly fat :( so she did not enjoy that at all. Our meals also come with miso soup and green tea dessert. The miso soup was overly salty (and I like salty!) and the green tea dessert was nothing special. It would of been nice to include a small salad to accompany the miso soup as most Japanese restaurants do when they give you soup, salad and dessert. The service was fine. There was only one lady serving all the tables which was sufficient since it was only us there for pretty much the entire time. She was kind enough but did not say much as I don't think she speaks English fluently. The prices were decent though the bento box was a bit steep since the kalbi was not great. There are many other places to go to at this price that has better food. I likely will not be back but did want to give it a try since they have really great reviews. read more

Pearl Sushi is my weekly go-to sushi spot! Since moving to the GTA I've tried quite a few sushi places but this is the best place in the area that I live that I have experienced so far. It's all about the quality for me when it comes to sushi. I often order the spider roll, dynamite roll, spicy tuna, or spicy crab roll. They often give miso soup or other goodies for a large order. I need to expand my sushi pallet when I order again. Their customer service is always great. They have plenty of parking for their restaurant. read more

First time ordering and loved it! I decided to get the medium combination party tray for the 3 of us and it was more than enough. We even got free gyozas and miso soup which was a plus. Sashimi was nice and thick, nigiri sushi was good - good rice and fish ratio, the flavour of the rolls were good but pieces are too big for my liking. Overall everything was really fresh and yummy! Just on the pricier side compared to other places though. read more

+.5 for service A neighbourhood sushi joint in Richmond Hill. Not much to comment except if you're expecting exotic kinds of sushi and rolls along the levels of Kiu, you won't get it here. However, for standard Japanese and Korean fare without much expectations this place does pretty good. I had the rainbow roll, and despite the size it was actually quite filling and tasted good. For a small place that's largely barebones, the prices are quite affordable and the overall food quality serves the area well. Not a place I'd visit if I'm not in the area, but I'd visit if it's takeout for a friend living in the neighbourhood. read more

Shocking service. made my order wrong, then threw it out in front of me instead of fixing it. The chef was even smoking in front of customers. I left with nothing. Never again. read more

Small combination party tray: was a disappointment due to the ratio of fish/rice and the cuts of the sashimi. It comes with a Green Dragon and California roll which were decent. Salmon Lover's: almost swayed the rating closer to 4 stars. It was the star of the show - spicy salmon roll with torched salmon on top. read more

Okay, so I typically almost NEVER go to any new sushi spots because I like what I like, and I know what I know, but after trying this little Japanese restaurant that I've had my eye on..... I now know that you should always continue to try new things and new places! -Maki roll size is HUGE -Very interesting maki creations on the menu -Kind and caring service -Online ordering available! What did I get? -[SALMON LOVER'S ROLL] $14.00 This was a roll that had spicy salmon and avocado on the inside. (I'm drooling already because spicy salmon is my absolute FAVORITE) It was then topped with TORCHED salmon, salmon roe, mayo, and green onions! What a combination of YUM in each bite~ I made the mistake of eating only the spicy salmon inside the roll and found it could have been more flavorful but since rolls aren't intended to be eaten in a dissected manner, that's on me, haha. DEFINITELY coming back to try some of their other interesting maki~ read more

Very pretty and cute place to take a date for sushi! Looks New and modern just like photos. Did a take order for lunch, my meal was made perfectly and presented neatly. Simple roll plate but nicely done, good size for lunch and everything tasted right from sushi rice to freshness of salmon. Pleasantly surprised sushi was Japanese style and taste and not korean like- as I noticed the menu was a Japanese Korean fushion. Service was very friendly and polite, easy to place order over phone. Only strange part was the wasabi was not spicy. I had spread it like butter over a maki and only tasted slightly hot, no tears! Location is TRICKY: Plaza is ONLY accessible coming from the north into a small parking lot behind the plaza. If coming from the south on Bayview- make first 2 lefts and that side street connects you right to parking lot. Entrance from Bayview sidewalk or from behind from parking lot. Take out only deal: Pay by cash save on tax Wouldn't hesitate to come back when the sushi craving calls. read more

This spot seems to always change restaurants every time I drive by. Although I'm pleased that there is another sushi place around my area with lunch specials! Walked in at noon and was surprised to be the only ones inside. The place is spacious overall and you shouldn't have a difficult time parking as there is a lot in the back. Ordered the Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura Lunch Special and was pleased overall. The box includes the glass noodles and 2 pieces of gyoza as well which is a welcome addition. The tempura was decent, although I would have preferred it to have a bit less oil but it still had that crunch. They serve edamame which I thought at first was a bonus but I realized it was to make up for the lack of salad. The california rolls in the box are standard as is the miso soup. There is a pretty large chunk of rice which is nice considering many places skimp on it. For ~$12, the lunch bentos are fantastic and you'd be hard pressed to find a place that offers solid quality, quantity, and price. Will return to try other things on the menu. read more

Pearl Sushi - Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura Lunch Bento - $12 - Japanese Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

If you are a sushi lover, and have a desire to indulge in some marvelous and fresh food made to order, you best hurry up and bookmark Pearl Sushi right away! A recently opened establishment (approx October 2018), Pearl Sushi offers a wide range of options at relatively affordable prices. From the exterior, you may ot be aware that there is generally plenty of parking in the back, you just have to go up to the next set of lights and make a left if you are heading north on Baview. You will find this gem as an anchor to a few quaint places such as a bakery, in the tiny strip plaza at the northwest corner of Major Mac and Baview. With a warm greeting and hot tea, the service is attentive and fast. We started with some fresh veg and shrimp tempura and an order of Okonomiyaki pancake. The tempura batter was light and crisp, with a side of dipping sauce. The pancake was also good but would have benefitted from the transitional mayo in addition to the sauce (we can never compare to my favorite Okonomi house, which also offers a fuĺl pancake for less than the $10.00 charged here for a smaller version). We ordered the $40.00 assorted sushi and sashimi platter, which was a lovely assortment of fresh fish and also came with a huge dragon roll which was delicious. The tuna and other sashimi were like butter, and everything was equally awesome. With so much food, we had the rest to go, and even the take away was wrapped up and presented nicely. This place should be jamming in a Saturday. I would encourage all who appreciates a good time and some great sushi take a trip of to Pearl's. Just dint let the out of place country music throw you off! -Zuk read more

The food quality was not horrible, but was a bit lack luster. I think for $23 the chirashi don could have looked a bit more substantial. I have had this item from a variety of places and I would call this not the worst of the best. It was mostly rice, which is a very common cost saving measure. The fish was decently thick and was of decent quality. Would likely not order this item again Had a 4.8/5 rating on door dash, which I found surprising given how differently the items arrived compared to the image on their store menu. The octopus item did not seem fresh and had an off color and appearance but tasted adequate. read more

I was surprised to find out that this restaurant has been taken over and is under a new management. The menu shown on Yelp is different from the one at the restaurant. Nevertheless, I ordered a plate of assorted sushi and sashimi and an order of a large sake. It came with a complimentary noodles, a salad and a bowl of miso soup. Since the restaurant has no large bottle for the sake, I was served with two small bottles of sake. The waitress was kind enough to heat up the sake for me when it became cold. The cut of sashimi was thick and I felt that the portion was generous. Fish were fresh. After dinner, there was another complimentary dessert, a probiotic beverage. Overall, the food and service were not bad. I was just ignored by the fly around us throughout the dinner time. read more

First time going to this place. It is run by Korean people. It is reasonable new, they opened under a year ago and replaced the burger place that was there. The parking is okay, we came around 7:30 pm and it wasn't too bad at all on a weekday. Lot of space. Atmosphere 3/5 Pretty average, menus are well kept and clean, so far due to reasonably new. Nothing really stands out. Not really a fan of the wooden framework around the kitchen and serving area. It is hard to get a hold of the wait staff when you can't really see them. Service 3/5 After several months, they still haven't really gotten the hang of it. They organize their orders poorly especially with they have takeout orders coming in. We were advised to wait like half an hour to forty-five minutes for our order. They did however offered us free really small order of edamame. So if you are hungry and want to dine in somewhere, you can try your luck here. Food 4/5 The food was pretty good for the area. The quality is better than some other sushi joints in the area. They have a decent variety for fish, mostly the typical stuff. Their most expensive is sea urchin which is seasonal pricing. If you are looking for more variety then I advise to go elsewhere. If you are okay with the typical then this is a good place to consider. We ordered a love boat A, vegetable and shrimp tempura, and a double spicy Salmon roll. I enjoyed every bite. Overall, food versus value, it is definitely on the higher side. I have visited other sushi joints in the area that offer same quality but cheaper. But still definitely a good place to try. read more

Really wanted to like it, good reviews and all, but... as usual, good sushi places are hard to come by, despite their abundance. The people at the restaurant work hard, and go out of their way to deliver good service, but that's about the only thing worth mentioning about the place - the sushi wasn't much better than supermarket variety, and it certainly wasn't cheap... Not a repeat. read more

This new sushi place recently opened in the corner plaza near Major Mac and Bayview! I was super excited to try this restaurant out because of the great reviews I've seen at other locations. It is right across from Bayview S.S and gets quite busy at 11:30AM, so make sure to stray away from that time! I got the chicken teriyaki bento box that was rather affordable at $10. It included 3 California rolls, 2 dumplings, vermicelli side dish, chicken teriyaki and rice. It came with miso soup and salad as a set of side dishes. It was a very good portion and pretty affordable for how much food was provided. The chicken was very standard and the flavouring of the teriyaki didn't seem to be cooked into the meat. It seemed as if the chicken and the sauce were 2 separate entities. The sushi was really fresh and added a tasty component to the combo. However, the food took a VERY VERY long time to make - this makes sense because it is a new restaurant but it would have been nice for all the dishes of the same party to be presented at approximately the same time. My friends ordered some sushi rolls and had very positive things to say about it. The plating is awesome and looks great in terms of presentation. I would highly recommend getting a few trays or sushi rolls with a couple of people just because it is a sushi franchise. The service was super great, the waiter would come around pretty often to refill our tea and the owners and sushi makers would welcome us in and out of the restaurant. Overall, a pretty positive experience - the spacing is rather small and comfy but cannot accommodate for many people. Give this place a try! read more

Awesome sushi! And also really friendly staff! I had their Blue Ocean roll -- avocado on top of spicy Escola, tobiko, green onion, and tempura bits. It was so delicious and fresh, and well-priced around $10 as well (and a miso soup on the house too). Would definitely recommend and will be back for sure! read more

I ordered the mixed sushi and sashimi lunch combo for takeout today. The combo includes 3 salmon sashimi, 3 assorted sushi, 6 pieces california roll, a bed of rice, a large dish of mixed tempura and a miso soup. Needless to say, iI ordered way too much and am struggling to finish this all myself. But, I definitely am very pleased for the generous portions! Overall, i think the food is great. Quality fish, big portions, and the tempura stayed light and crispy. I'm sure I will be back to order again for another wfh day. read more

I randomly came into this place and wasn't expecting it to be so good. The sushi was delicious. I haven't had such good sushi for a while. I got the dynamite roll and the spicy salmon roll. The waitress, Sammy, was so pleasant and inviting. The place was very clean. I will definitely come back here again. Can't wait to try their other dishes. read more

Great food and very nice staff! Gave us free sides as well. I'd highly recommend it! :)

I ordered from this place to support a local business during COVID and I am so glad I did! we ordered the spicy roll combo (spicy salmon, spicy tuna and spicy shrimp tempura), a red tuna roll, salmon sashimi and ikura sashimi. the quality was really good..tssted quite fresh. the only negative I will say is that I found it a little more pricey than most other places especially for the ikura (tastes good but def wasn't worth the price and that's why I'm taking away a star). other than that I dont have any complaints. I would recommend this place for those that arent too worried about being budget friendly read more

Wein the area and decided to try out the maki rolls here. Also ordered tempura and some butterfish sashimi. Yum! The fish was fresh and flavourful, not rubbery like some places we've tried. Tempura was crisp and light. Free miso soup and gyoza rolls was a nice surprise. The owner (?) was super friendly. We will definitely be coming back to try out more menu items! read more

This place is fantastic. I got the Small Sushi Tray (42 assorted sushi pieces) - Super good quality sushi that is fresh with large fish to rice ratio on all items. They do not skimp out. This was my first time here but noticed they also included complimentary miso soup and fried dumplings which was very much appreciated. Highly recommend! read more

Stay far far away. Terrible customer service. I ordered 20 piece sushi package. It came with almost no wasabi, and the said there is nothing they will do about it. NEVER AGAIN I will order from there. read more

Pretty disgusting rolls. Weird taste and seem smaller. This was my second time trying and sorry no it's just bad. I'd look elsewhere.

Delicious sushi but the only reason why I gave this 2 stars was because the guy making my sushi was not wearing a mask and was laughing and talking to the server while making my food. We are in a pandemic and this pandemic has to be taken seriously... that means wearing a mask even if there are not that many customers in the restaurant. I spoke to the server about this and she told me not to worry because the sushi chef did not have a fever... STILL, wear a mask!!! We are in a second wave so wear one to protect yourself and others. read more
