Best Japanese restaurant in Canada

F	Frank on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Maybe because it’s late but quality is really subpar for a Japanese owner restaurant. I’ve been to many family owned Japanese restaurants and they are much betters. Takoyaki soggy and old 0/5 Tantan noodles. Looks unappetizing had to add water 2.5/5 Saba fish bento was $17 for a small piece of fish and a half salad and 2 pieces of eggs? Way too expensive tbh… the egg smelled odd. this is the only dish that I actually ate in full, except the egg... 3/5
J	Jo Y on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ They have a fairly extensive menu of homestyle Japanese dishes at very reasonable prices. The food is passable but unremarkable.
J	Johnson Fung on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It’s like being in Japan. The place is so cute and homey and the food was really delicious, thoughtful, and healthy-tasting. Would recommend!
C	Carlos Pan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Everything was simple and tasty. Nothing super fancy but it’s great for a quick and tasty bite.
C	Cindy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Glad I found an authentic homestyle Japanese restaurant near our home. I had the Teriyaki Hamachi Bento set + Genmai cha tea. It came with miso soup, salad, and pickles. They even have black cod bento set. And various onigiri. Next time, I want to try the udon + onigiri combo.

M	Melissa Denise on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Super cute authentic Japanese restaurant run by a Japanese couple. You won't find tons of rolls on their menu; What you'll find instead are unique homecooked style Japanese dishes that taste fresh and high quality! It's a small restaurant so seating is very limited. They follow covid protocols and check your vaccine passport and ID. There is a large menu along with different daily specials. My sister, niece, and I all shared the following: Chicken karaage - Meatful pieces with no skin so it's on the healthier side. Really tasty and comes with some dipping mayo! Ebi mayo - I enjoyed how the tempura batter was hard but not too much of it so that it took away from the prawn meat. It was a nice balance of meat and batter. Chicken teriyaki don - Again, big pieces of meat with no skin. Sauce was delicious and you can tell its homemade. The chicken pieces were on top of thinly sliced cucumber pieces. Spam aburi - They only had two left but they were so good! Really big pieces. Sable fish bbq platter - The fish was buttery, sweet, and delicious. It came with a small salad, rice, and a baked scrambled egg appetizer. Takoyaki - Really delicious and again you can tell its freshly made. As with most Authentic Japanese kitchen style restaurants, the portions are on the smaller side. I personally don't mind but just something to keep in mind!
W	W on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A hidden gem. I had neither heard of this place nor read about it in articles of top Japanese restaurants, only saw it's high rating in Google Maps. The place is small, with only a couple of tables and counters. Despite this, the menu is remarkably wide and the food is consistently excellent. There is only one chef and one waitress. There might be a bit of a wait but it is worth it as the food is not just artfully presented but prepared with perfect technique. The seasoning is on point; the chef is tasting and adjusting her flavour profiles. I rarely finish my miso soup but the one here is so full-bodied and satisfying, seemingly made from scratch (that is, by simmering kelp as opposed to rehydrating from powder), that I eagerly finished every last drop. Been here three times now. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. Pictured: Tan Tan Udon, Sablefish, and Spam Musubi.
