Kingyo Fisherman's Market

An incredible experience. The food, atmosphere, and service is top notch. The best Sashimi we've had in a long long time. Don't miss out if you're visiting.

This place is a nice little gem and has amazing food! Don’t know why there’s not more hype around this resto. We ordered the torched hotate negitoro don and the tasting platter (Makunouchi platter). Both dishes were so fresh and amazing. Considering the quality, i was surprised how affordable the dishes were. The hotate negitoro don had a generous amount of seafood and was very fresh! The tasting platter had a good variety of different items. Everything was well executed however nothing blew me away but having the variety was nice. The service was also very friendly and fast. Would still recommend both dishes however! They have a small supermarket in the back where you can buy Japanese snacks, condiments, alcohol, pre prepared meals and frozen ramen!

If possible I’d order (almost) everything on the menu. First time visit and I’m pleased with my every order. First the Blooming jasmine tea (yes it’s delulu of me on a hot summer day but) blew me away. It is fascinating to witness the jasmine slowly rehydrates in hot water and descends from atop to the bottom. Let the water cool slowly so you get to witness the picturesque full bloom under water. Agedashi tofu and pressed Saba (mackerel) sushi are both excellent with modern twists. The tofu is seasoned with spices and lightly heated (spiciness). Pressed Saba sushi is uniquely dressed with flying fish roe, green onion, persimmon leaves, and seasoning dressing. Will return with friends and family. Reservation recommended for large parties.

I Loved the tasting platter. First of all, considering the quality of all the dishes, it is really cheap. None of these got me disappointed. Each dishes had a bit of Japanese touch to it, and those small details made the plate even more flavorful. I was fully satisfied with the flavor and portion. There are more dishes to try, and I’m so excited to come back for another meal.

This is such a hidden gem in the city! Located in a not so busy neighborhood with very small signs on the outside, this restaurant is definitely worth trying out if you are a fan of fresh sashimi. The portion is great, slightly expensive but very worth given the freshness of the seafood. I ordered the salmon lover, it came with both fresh and torched salmon sashimi, topped on rice and avocados. Amazing texture and super flavourful. Also have a small market inside the store where you can buy $4 handroll sushi and varieties of Japanese drinks and snacks.

Such good food!!! They have a gluten free menu too!! Cutest little market/restaurant. Kid friendly and very reasonably priced. They were very accommodating with our party and arranging the table to fit our baby stroller. Freshest sashimi I've ever had. Other people in our party really enjoyed the tempura shrimp appetizer. We also ordered the kid's meal and it was a great assortment kid friendly dishes! Highly recommend stopping here!!

Very cool concept of a small Japanese market combined with a restaurant. Their fish is great quality considering the very reasonable prices. This is pretty authentic Japanese food. You’ll see some menu items you won’t see at lower end Japanese restaurants - I.e. the tasting platter, which was fantastic. You get such an incredible mix of textures and flavours and you’ll probably get to try at least a few items you won’t see at any other Japanese restaurant in Toronto. The tonkatsu set is quite authentic, all the way down to the crushed sesame seeds. It was also really nice to see that the accompanying miso soup wasn’t the basic variety and came loaded with ingredients.

Delicious vegan ramen, probably the best I’ve ever had. Rich in umami and you just can’t stop eating it!

We got the vegan tantan ramen, the karaage chiken and the deep fried tofu with kimchi and every dish was delicious! ❤️ Also their home made beer was amazing! This place is a hidden gem in Toronto.

There was a FLYING INSECT on the miso soup, it was so DISGUSTING but the server never say sorry to me and she was so RUDE. She was not surprised at all and just told me that I will bring another one and took the miso soup like it’s not a big deal. It seems like this happens often. and she didn’t even add spring onions on my second miso soup. Also the ‘Fisherman’s Kaisendon’ I ordered was NOT FRESH especially the cooked shrimp was really bad. It was very fishy, tasted like stayed in a freezer for a long time. The red tuna was not fresh either. I assume that’s why they put sliced lemon on the cooked shrimp to cover the fishy smell. If she said ‘Sorry’ to me at the time, I would not leave the one star review even if the food was bad. Because I was satisfied with the Negitoro Hotate don for the first visit. Anyways, I will never go back there again. The owner should train their servers how to deal with customers
