A very unique fine dining experience. Expect to be there for a few hours. The waitress was so pretty in traditional clothing and make up! It definitely has a bit of old fashioned and traditional vibes. The only thing I think they might need to improve is the wallpaper that seems to be peeling a bit, especially in the washroom.

This place is absolutely amazing. Me and my wife love Japanese food however it's not easy to find authentic Japanese places. Then we found this hidden gem in our neighborhood. The staff is so nice and welcoming they will explain you the dishes if you are new to Japanese food and they will gladly explain and make suggestions too. We had a really nice conversation with Mari while dining ”she is the one dressed up in a kimono". And the best part, the food .. is absolutely amazing 🤩 it's soo good and high quality. Most of the items are imported from Japan. If you are a authentic Japanese cuisine lover you must try them.

We were back again in Jun 2024 for 🍣. This restaurant run by a real Japanese chef. The food portion was reasonable, sushi, sasahmi were fresh, very tender wagyu beef.

One of the very few and rare Japanese-run Japanese restaurants in Scarborough . So make sure to make a reservation by phone beforehand. P.S. MATCHA IS FREE 🍵 👍👍👍

Best Sushi in Toronto by the value. The quality of the fish and sushi is comparable with all the Michelin starred restaurants in downtown. Amazing service as well.

Likely the best sushi you will find in Toronto, and I've been to many, many different spots - I highly recommend the sushi omakase. The ambiance is great, the staff are super friendly, the service is incredible, and the sushi is so fresh using only the highest quality of fish and other ingredients (their tamago is made in house, for example). They also have a good selection of sake to pair with your meal.

Although we did not have a reservation, the staff was kind enough to offer us a spot by the sushi bar. It was nice to see the sushi chef in action. The sashimi and rolls were very fresh and good. I’ve always heard of good things about this place and the chef, glad it did not disappoint. Look forward to coming back to trying more items on the menu.

This restaurant is an East Toronto treasure and with quality of sushi and sashimi, this restaurant could easily stand up to any of the super high end Toronto sushi restaurants. The owner/Sushi Chef is an artisan - his knife skills and attention to quality are top shelf. His Hama Collar is better than those I have had in world class Japanese restaurants in NYC and LA. My husband and I recently moved over an hour out of the city but will still make a monthly trip with a cooler packed with ice to get takeout. And George is amazing, he makes every guest feel oh so welcomed, ensures every need is attended to and has amazing menu suggestions and shares if there is a new fish they are offering if it has just come into season. Scarborough/North York - you are oh so lucky to have Aoyama Sushi, first class food, best in class customer service at a fraction of price that a downtown restaurant would charge for this level of quality. Worth the drive back to city!

Tonight was my second time dining here and so far both times were for my parents' birthday. This time I brought a cake and they graciously came out and sang happy birthday for my mom! I really appreciated this gesture as not many restaurants are willing to accommodate outside food which I completely understand. Needless to say, service is impeccable and warm at this restaurant. The food is a notch above any Japanese restaurant in the GTA. The tempura is simple but obviously well executed. We ordered a sashimi platter both times but tried other dishes too like the fried soft shell crab which was very delicate and easy to eat for people too lazy to crack a shell. It's a small restaurant so the food does take longer but I think the pace is more relaxed and suited to the atmosphere :) the price reflects the diversity of their ingredients and dishes as I don't think there are many places serving monkfish liver and deep fried crab alongside imported sashimi. Overall, highly recommend for a special occasion!

I had the upgraded omakase set for two, for the price, the fish selection was very poor same goes for the quality and taste. Uni and scallop were especially fishy, tuna and salmon belly didn't have much taste and were fishy, unagi was dry, rice was mushy. We had a good experience with the waitress.
