Food is good and is worthy of the price. I ordered the Chef Bento that included sushi and sashimi. Sashimi was melt in the mouth fresh. Sushi was perfect for picking them up by hand. Other side dishes were standard. The beer selection was average but adequate. What amused me was how hidden this amazing Japanese bistro was, yet it survived the decades and the COVID pandemic. I walked from the parking lot, passed a physiotherapy business to get to an unnoticeable front door of this Japanese bistro. And its interior was like an oasis of calm. Also I find the services polite from the moment I walked through the front door. The owners also let us stayed behind to chat long after the meal.

A variety of teriyaki dishes are on the menu, but they also have a variety of Dim Sum arranged in various combinations. That's a bit different. The food is nicely done. I often have the Shrimp Teriyaki, which always comes with fresh, tender and crisp shrimp. The owners are very gracious. When ordering a green tea, the owner instead offered a cup made from higher quality, aromatic loose leaf tea, which I recognized by the aroma from a trip to Taiwan years ago. It brought back memories. The restaurant can get busy at lunchtime when the usual group of well behaved high school students stop in at around 12:30. Get there before that and you have the run of the place!

Not how stupid we are. How little they care. I ordered my favourite. Sashimi salad with a lobster soup. The dressing for the salad wasn't the dressing. It was soy sauce with mustard seeds. The soup. I'm ashamed. I actually called the restaurant asking for a manager. I was told a manager wouldn't be there until next week. Has anyone bought beef broth? That's what it was. Heated beef broth with a little bit of veggies, two calamari and the smallest lobster tail that had been sliced in half. I didn't get both halves. This takeout is a disgrace. The sit down in Aurora is vastly different but the take out is insulting! Stop!!!!! Stop reviewing the Aurora restaurant with the Newmarket takeout location.

The quality of the food has declined from the last few times I was here. On another note, the staff were nice, accommodating and the service was quick. There are lots of HK style places in the area that opened up, I'm not sure if I'd come back here. Side note: they also charge .25 cents for takeout boxes if you have leftovers you'd like to take home.

I've had almost everything. The chicken or pork Katsu curry is probably my favourite. The sauce is out of this world. And the veggies are fresh and cooked perfectly. The sushi rolls are good but I would suggest to them to go smaller! Good things come in small packages. Bibimbap was excellent. I could drink that sauce. Maybe a runnier egg. I love me some runny yolk. Highly recommend!

We randomly found this place online while looking for a place that served sushi and other options…read more It is a little small, only 4 tables but we went about an hour before closing so we were able to get a seat right away. And even though it is small, they seem to have a lot of takeout orders as people kept going in for pick up. My partner ordered the bulgogi bento box that comes with miso soup, rice, salad, beef bulgogi and 3 pieces of bulgogi roll. Upon ordering I thought it sounded a little pricey but once the food came, I realized it was well worth it! So much food. And my partner scarfed down every bit, he said it was absolutely delicious. I ordered salted edamame, dynamite roll, and a Korean fried chicken skewer. Had I known how big the dynamite roll was, I would've only ordered that haha - it was huge! The edamame was a little too salty but it was still good and a decent portion as well. Last but not least, the Korean chicken skewer was very tasty also, with different sauces drizzled over it. My only suggestion is that they should have napkins at each table or at least easily accessible because we were only given one each and needed to ask for more. We will be back for sure, though!

Although the interior is small, cozy with a few tables, they are very popular as seats started to fill up as we ordered, and there were many takeout/delivery orders. Also, the only female server there also very courteous and friendly as well :) Their menu features a good range of Japanese drinks, snacks, sashimi, rolls, maki etc. We got three orderes of salmon sashimi, one order of tamago, plus salmon teriyaki. These ordered come with a soup and salad, and I was in love with the salad dressing they used/made. It had a refreshing, and slight tangy taste to it which complicated the salad. The salmon sashimi tasted very fresh, I would've gotten more if I had enough stomach space.

Food 3.5/5 Service 3/5…read moreAmbience 3.5/5 An attractive clean looking restaurant with dine-in and take-out. The restaurant has several menu items for sushi and Korean foods and offers a menu of lunch specials. We ordered: Takoyaki Lunch BBQ salmon Donburi Tonkatsu Curry I enjoyed the Takoyaki. The size of the pieces of octopus was decent. My partner enjoyed the Tonkatsu Curry. The curry sauce came in a separate bowl. The best part of the BBQ Salmon Donburi was the avocado, which they gave a generous serving of avocado. In the Donburi, I thought the sushi rice was underwhelming and bland. The BBQ salmon was over barbecued and sooo dry it could not be saved by the lime aioli and teriyaki sauces. Our friend who ordered the sushi really enjoyed their appetizer. Service: This is the first time I can recall that there is no complimentary green tea offered when dining in at a restaurant offering sushi or Korean food. We asked for water and our friend ordered a beer. At about 15 minutes later, the beer was served. After the food arrived, still no water. We asked for the water again, and four little Chinese tea cups of water (100ml) was served. I don't know if this is standard at this restaurant but it stood out as very unusual in my experience. Plenty of parking right outside the restaurant. The restaurant is at the end of a plaza. There was a sign at the door for a sushi platter special on Wednesdays $49 that looked promising. I wanted to like the restaurant more because the dining in area was very pleasant.
