    a variety of foods on a table
    Cindy L.

    Great value! I actually enjoyed their rolls more than the garlic beef dish. Great salad app, miso soup Sweet potato tempura roll was BOGO and it was on point! The Sano roll had almost everything i liked - soft shell crab, shrimp tempura, bbq eel, fish egg and avocado- but somehow I expected more from it. Overall good value and will likely try a couple other things when I'm in the mood for sushi in the future!

    Ordered the sushi and sashimi combo from the a la care menu which came with miso soup and salad on the side. No substitutions are allowed for the combos according to the waitress so had to stick with the two eel sushi pieces. Decent tasting sushi. Service was quick and efficient, we didn't have to wait long to order and get food (important as we were starving!). The restaurant itself was busy for a Sunday afternoon with most patrons opting for the AYCE but we did not need to wait for a table. If you're looking for a quick sushi bite around the area, this is a solid spot!

    In the last 10 years or so this is the second incarnation of a sushi place in this exact location. Both places just also happened to be AYCE. I find a lot of sushi AYCE places start out strong but towards their end, they slowly but surely go downhill. Usually the service starts to go downhill then the food follows, then the hunt for the next great sushi place begins anew. So is the life cycle for an AYCE sushi joint it seems in the GTA. This place though seems to have a little bit more staying power I largely suspect due to the fact that the owner always seems to be around. Ever since the place first opened there is always a gentleman there. At first I assumed it was just the usual owner/manager keeping things in check then moving on to other things. But over time I noticed that nearly every time I went here, this same owner was doing something different. He would be making sushi one day, cleaning tables and serving the next. A few times I went here and didn't see him and thought he's finally taking a day off, but half way through my meal lo and behold I see him come out of the kitchen with an apron on I assume as he also cooks! It goes a long way for me when I see the owner/manager wear so many different hats. Having said that, it's a great plus to see him around as when he is I know that I will be getting exactly what I ordered. This place has menus where you can check off what you want on a piece of paper unlike a lot of newer places with their iPad. The menu is a very good variety of your standard fare AYCE sushi. If you have a huge craving for great sushi I don't hesitate to recommend this place, as they are very consistent in what they deliver each order and each time i go. Other places, the first order may be great but after that, the sushi pieces can slowly become stuffed with more rice (filler) and less meat. Portions start to get smaller each order and eventually it will look like they just threw pieces together. A pretty standard tactic for AYCE that tells you you have over stayed your welcome, but I never saw the food quality degrade during a meal here. And having been here a number of times I can say whole heartedly that they are very consistent. I would say this place is a very solid 3.5 star out of 5. This is still an AYCE, so keep your expectations in check as it's not an omakase meal here. But for an AYCE sushi place, this is probably one of the more consistent spots in the GTA. And with all the AYCE sushi places coming and going, it says a lot when someone says that this place is consistent in their food. Though be forewarned the service can be spotty, and mixed up orders do occur. Again its an AYCE place, so I can't say it's the best ever, but it definitely hits the spot when i have a craving for an AYCE sushi. TIP: Bring cash as their is a 10% discount if you pay in cash.

    Everything that served here at Sano Sushi are drowned in some kind of orange sauces and gravy. I know I am in one of those AYCE Japanese nightmare when I saw my salads.. especially my Wakame salad that looks like a soup? My Red Tuna sushi looks so red just like one of those plastic fake one that used to decorate display windows, I really feel like I am falling deeper and deeper in this bad dream... Fried Fish Cake? that looks like a solid cube with a funny texture...and I think this tasted like the exact same sauce that is on my cold Grilled Salmon Neck? Why are the Sano shrimps (deep fried breaded shrimps) so cold and more orange sauces on top of them?! I just cannot do this anymore... at least the green tea ice cream bring me back to reality... 15% off if paying cash... But I don't think this is enough incentive for me to come here ever again!

    We was going to sit in the patio but they told us there bees and mosquito so they moved us to a private room which is not bad. It is all you can eat and the price reasonable. A lot of stuff to choose from and it is fresh. Will definitely come back here again.

    Ordered a platter for delivery via skipthedishes. I haven't been to much sushi places in Vaughan but this is now one of my favourites. Their fish to rice portion is AMAZING. There's little rice on the sushi and It's amazing. Sometimes, I would take out some rice out of sushi but Sano had a good ratio that I ate theirs as is. Presentation wise, it's not pretty. The rolls were also falling apart. But overall, the fish also tasted fresh. Will 100% dine in sometime soon.

    I ordered from Sano Sushi last night using SkipTheDishes. The order was confirmed after about 5 minutes, and it was delivered within 35-40 minutes, so it was fast enough. The tempura was not good at all, i only had few bites and couldn't finish the appetizer portion. The breading on the shrimp was too light and tasteless, it was also over done and way over-fried! The vegetables tasted old and barely had any tempura breading on them. The edamame were ridiculously bad! My favourite app is the edamame wherever I go, however, I inly had 4 or 5 of this one, And it did it for me! No taste, no texture, seemed old 100%, no salt, nothing! As for the rolls, the shrimp roll didn't taste good at all, overpowering fish-eggs a d seaweed taste, while the only thing that tasted good was the spicy california rolls. Smaller portion/roll size compared to competition, but charging premium prices. I paid $40 for the above order as in the photos attached! Absolute rip-off for a tasteless bunch of items. I will not re-order from here, there are much better options nearby!

    This is a little Japanese restaurant that serves all your typical Japanese buffet food including sushi, maki rolls, teppanyaki, tempura, salad, katsu, handrolls, and desserts (and also with Chinese, Thai, and Korean options too). This was my first time here and I enjoyed the food! The selection was plentiful and the food arrived quickly and without anything being missed. I especially liked the curry chicken katsu (comfort food!), yakitori (which had amazingly tender chicken), seaweed salad, green dragon roll, cheese mango maki (who would have known that cheese and mango would work so well together?), mushroom teppanyaki, chocolate mousse, and salmon sushi. The cheese wonton was good too and had gooey cheese melting out of it!

    Bento box meals tastes actually ok. Salmon teriyaki - tougher than what I had desired hence not a 4 star or higher Udon noodle soup was ok. Nothing really that stood out. Tastes at par with Smart Cook in Markham though Smart Cook's soup base seem more flavourful (and no or little msg as I don't get the usual getting-so-thirsty effect of msg). Try the beef bento as my kids seem to enjoy that more and didn't bother getting more of my salmon. Chicken katsu was quite acceptable though Nak Won's katsu is a clear winner compared to this. Lots of space here with room for a reservation of up to 20 people. Sushi was ok but not spectacular. Worth a try but not a place I would go out of my way to dine in.

    I've been to Yorokobi a couple times before, it's always been great! Just as good as quality sushi…read moreyou may find Downtown or in Asian neighbourhoods in the GTA. We ordered this time the Yorokobi set for 2 and upgraded the sushi to brown rice for $5 extra and upgraded the green dragon roll that came with the meal to volcano salmon roll (which is one of their popular special rolls) and paid the difference. We also added a hamachi carpaccio just for more more protein for my SO because he thinks it might not be enough, but we were left super full. I love that the sushi wasn't loaded with rice and it was thinly included, we did mention that we usually don't like that much and the server said they can even adjust the rice content in the sushi.... We didn't confirm to adjust it but perhaps they went with it because rice is perfectly thin in the maki and less than usual for a nigiri, which is great because otherwise I don't know if we would have finished the meal. $5 to upgrade to brown rice for the sushi set that didn't have that much rice is still IMO a bit steep. Other that, the sushi is fresh, the special rolls are eye catching and tasty and the hamachi carpaccio was good too, LOVE the presentation. I think the best thing here is still their special rolls though! Server is so personable and made sure we were well taken care of. Only feedback I have here is the miso soup that with the Yorokobi set is way too salty I couldn't finish mine after a sip. Ambiance was clean with little Japanese decor throughout. They have a huge parking lot at the back and you can enter and exit from the back instead of trying the front as there is very little parking in the front lot.

    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.

I overall enjoyed everything up until the dessert. The desserts were the weakest link of the entire dinner. The cheesecake was a little dry and the mochi didn't seem super fresh. It was all edible but just not amazing. The service was good, staff were attentive and food came out fairly quick. The design of the place is really nice as well.

It was frightening and completely unexpected. I had not vomited ever for the last two years, I usually have a very strong immune system. I hadn't eaten anything else that evening that could explain this, so it is very likely food poisoning from my meal here. I'm sharing this respectfully but honestly so others are aware. A birthday dinner should never end with someone in that condition. I truly hope the restaurant reviews their food handling practices to prevent this from happening to anyone else.

    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.

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.

The moment you walk in, one detail that stood out to me was the Mahayana Buddhist altar blessing the owner and visitors with health and prosperity. As a Taiwanese person, that instantly felt relatable and oddly comforting--like being welcomed into someone's home. Although the restaurant is Vietnamese-owned, the Japanese food here is absolutely top-notch. I've visited three times so far, and the quality of their bento boxes has been impressively consistent every single time. My personal favorite is the chicken katsu bento. The chicken is incredibly fresh and flavorful. Unlike many places where chicken katsu can end up greasy or heavy, Ikigai's version is perfectly crispy and airy on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside. Paired with their tangy, addictive katsu sauce, every bite just makes you want the next one immediately. I'm also a big fan of their maki rolls and tempura. You can genuinely taste the care and quality in the food--even the side salad and miso soup feel thoughtfully prepared. Considering the quality, the prices are very reasonable, and the portions are generous. The bento box is around $20 if you pay cash, which feels like a great deal. The space itself is cozy, spotless, and welcoming, and the service has always been excellent. I genuinely love this place and will definitely keep coming back.

    The food was good, and portions are super generous. I appreciate how many options and variations…read morethere are on the menu. Got the original chicken karaage boneless - I appreciate that it comes with 3 dipping sauces so you can try various flavours and not just stick with 1 flavour like at normal fried chicken restaurants. If you're not in the mood for Katsu, there's other itemskke karaage, baked chicken , rice cakes, or udon. They also serve pizza from Pizza Maru which operates from the same premise. However, the menu was hard to read. The service wasn't super friendly - I almost felt like they were hoping we didn't dine in so they can focus on take out orders. We were the only 2 people that were waiting for their dine in orders and the food felt like it came out slow. The ambiance was quiet. Lots of empty seats. Perhaps it was the day we went, but even if the restaurant isn't busy the atmosphere wasn't as welcoming. Ie, it felt like I wanted to quickly finish eating and leave asap rather than enjoy my meal with my company. Limited parking spaces, but is free.

    (4.5 rounded up) Food: 5 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 5…read more It's been a long time since I last visited this location, and I was pleasantly surprised--it's now renovated and expanded to about twice its original size. Lots of seating is available, including comfortable 4-6 person booths. The only downside is that parking right on Yonge is very limited. The menu has expanded beyond katsu to include pizzas, wings, udon, and tteokbokki. The katsu was excellent with its light, crisp batter, and the special set came with a great variety of sides plus both rice and a small bowl of udon. The pizza and wings were also fantastic--we ordered the half-and-half pizza with the signature shrimbul (highly recommend if you like a little heat) and Korean bulgogi. The wings were flavorful and delicious as well. Service was decent, though we docked half a star because some drinks on the menu weren't available (only 2 out of the 5 beers listed). That said, we still had a great experience overall and will definitely be back!
