Markham Sushi

My wife and I ordered take out from this establishment and we agreed this place should get 3.5 stars. Nothing wowed us, but the food quality was ok. We ordered the spicy salmon, dynamite and green dragon rolls. Like most sushi places, the quality of the rice was lacking. Too dry and ‘heavy’ taste/​texture. This is an a la carte restaurant, so we thought the quality would be top notch. Prices are pretty decent, but remember, you pay for what you get.
I would go to this place over Daisuki but the best place for Sushi in Markham is still found at «Markham Sushi».

Go if you want fresh sushi
I’d recommend this place for couples.
Polite servers and great service
Most of all, proper food.

A local sushi gem. Markham sushi has the absolute freshest fish. As mentioned many times, this is an a la carte restaurant which means more money but tonnes more quality. I have been here many times and its just always so good! My favourites are the assorted sashimi platter and the spider rolls. TRY THE SPIDER ROLLS– you will not regret it.
Always great food and definitely always great service.
I would also like to mention that on a couple occassions, Mr song, the owner came by the table and felt as though we were still hungry so he have us more rolls for free! He is a very nice man and that was much appreciated.

Had bento box lunch special. Decent pricy. Little family run restaurant, service can be quite slow during lunch hours. Beef bulgogi was too salty for my liking. Sushi was decent

I have been to this place several times over the last five years. The first time we went a table behind us found a worm in their edamame and were offered a $ 5 discount. This deterred us from wanting to go back but eventually we did and had been enjoying it until our last experience. I ordered on the phone take out, and in the middle of the conversation was interrupted by the mother of the person on the phone who accused me of having placed an order the night before.
Not having listened to my gut I still ordered and picked up. It was clear that they didn’t believe me because when I went 30 mins later to pick up my order (they said 25) they hadn’t started it. I waited another 15 mins and there was no apology. They clearly do not know how to deal with customers and have no appreciation for their customers.

Sushi is decent. We’ve been here about 4 times. Today however we were left waiting by the door and nobody greeted us or sat us down in the 3 minutes we were there. There was another young family with two kids waiting ahead of us. What was irritating was the middle aged worker there clearly saw us but was casually cleaning up a table left by customers who were already gone, rather than attending to customers who were there waiting. The place was not that busy.

Hands down, the MOST invisible sushi restaurant in the whole of GTA. The fact that they do a pretty brisk business is testament to the quality that they serve. Because believe me boys and girls, if you just go by location, I can almost guarantee you that you can’t spot this place. Coupled with probably the world’s most generic name (I mean think about it… really?), and you have a recipe for obscurity. But what we found on a cold Friday night was a rather bustling place, filled with families and a table with one old guy drinking wine while having his sushi. What an interesting and odd place.
As many have pointed out, the restaurant is not only small, it’s also located in one of the saddest looking strip plazas (this one makes The Peanut Plaza look almost like Fairview Mall in comparison) which is also extremely odd shaped. The plaza has a small alleyway that somewhat bisects the building, which basically means that the restaurant is facing an interior wall of the plaza, instead of the road.
The place is a bit cramped and we ordered some maki combos from the menu. The prices are a bit high for a place of this caliber, which took the rating down a bit. But when the food came (it took a while, actually), I have to say it’s one of the freshest, tastiest, and more impressive spicy salmon rolls I’ve had in the last year or so. It’s not groundbreaking, but very solid. It was buttery, with a slight sweet fresh salmon taste that I simply can’t get enough of. We also complemented our dinner with a side order of kaki fry, essentially fried oysters. These too, were very nice, and I love the gravy-​esque dipping sauce it came in and kind of wished there was more of it.
Service was nice though a bit slow, and it was odd to be in a sushi restaurant that charges you for tea, but overall it’s a very solid place and we could see why it’s rather popular in this neck of the woods. Too bad we got many other cheaper and better value options, so this won’t be our first choice to re-​visit. Still, an amusingly located restaurant with very good quality food makes it a solid place to check out.

A very small place hidden inside a little plaza
I believe this is a husband and wife run operation and no other workers so if it were to get busy then service could be slow. I found service to be very efficient though.
Ordered a sushi combo for $ 15.99
Fish was fresh and tasty
salmon was sliced in very long lengths but very thin as well
Meal comes with miso soup
Nothing will blow you out of the water here but its a good place for a quick Japanese food fix.

Love this place, service is slow but it’s a small family place and everyone loves it, so you will probably wait. Food is great and it is cozy.

This is one of my favorite places to eat sushi! You can order in or take out which is nice. The wife and husband who own the place have always been very welcoming and I always find the wait times for food are appropriate! I very rarely want to go else where! They have 3 booths that you can section yourself off to have more privacy which I find very nice! You must check it!

This is our local sushi place and although we have tried many others in the Markham area we always end up coming back here and are recognized and welcomed. Family owned and operated, Markham Sushi offers fresh, tasty sushi and sashimi in addition to chicken, beef or shrimp teriyaki and other dishes. Dinners come with miso soup and salad with delicious ginger dressing, or you can change it up with seaweed salad instead. Takeout is usually ready with 15 – 20 minutes. Prices are reasonable and competitive with similar places in the area.
One caveat: their takeout business is as busy as the eat-​in side and sometimes service is slower to accommodate large orders, a usual 15 minute order could sometimes end up taking 45 minutes.

I’ve been here once, I wanted sushi last night and thought I’ll make another visit, their sushi is fresh and it was close to home so my friends and I (4) decided to drive there. Once we got there, the waitress came out and told us the food would take an hour to arrive and asked if that was OK. She mentioned they just received a large order of sushi order and won’t be able to make more sushi until an hour later. It was roughly 8pm at this point and yes we are hungry and no that’s not OK… So we left and headed to another sushi place.
My advice? Maybe hire another sushi chef…

Loved the sushi, fish was very fresh! Ordered sushi and sashimi dinner combo for $ 14.99 which came with soup and salad, only problem was that it was a bit pricey for not enough food… but maybe I just eat a lot haha

We have ordered take out and ate in once. service is fast and everything tastes awesome! wish the portions were bigger but its yum!

Not a bad sushi place by any means (I mean, the fish was fresh), but with several sushi restaurants nearby I wouldn’t mind shelling off a few more bucks to get better variety.
I ordered take-​out from here last night and had the sushi dinner, which came with a miso soup and salad. The miso soup was quite salty, with quite a heavy punch of MSG compared to other restaurants. The salad is quite good though, and the sauce was put separate (at least for take out), so you can add as much (or as little) as you want.
The sushi itself I found to be quite fresh and I overall enjoyed it, however it definitely lost marks for fish variety. Out of the 12 pieces of sushi, 5 of them were salmon. I understand salmon is the staple of sushi and sashimi, but 5 pieces are quite overkill. There was only one piece of tuna, butterfish, albacore tuna, surf clam, to name a few. I would’ve definitely liked it more if more variety was possible, however they charge extras if you want to switch up the fish choices.
For $ 14.99, it’s a good restaurant if you’re into the «lay it down, basic a la carte» style of sushi. If you want more exotic and variety of sashimi grade fish, however, I suggest Toro Sushi over this.
PS: They need to turn down the heat of this restaurant. Sure it was quite cool yesterday, but it felt like I entered to a sauna when ordering.

This is one of the best, if not best Japanese restaurants in Markham. Take out or dine-​in, the food is fresh, delicious & excellent! Must tries — the Chicken or Steak Terriyaki dinners, Agadashi (fried tofu) and their sushi. Really great family owned business that makes fresh food & the service is great too. Location isn’t the greatest (hidden inside a plaza), but the atmosphere is warm & cozy with private booths.

This placed is tucked inside a plaza that I wouldn’t even visit if my friend didn’t even tell me there was a sushi place.
Went to try this place tonight… sighs. why is Japanese food in york region so disappointing… I mean it’s not the cheapest fast eats like a food court… Japanese food is not suppose to be like this… considering the fact this place looks like it was owned by either Koreans or Japanese… more to Korean side I believe. I would have expected more versus a Japanese restaurant owned by Chinese peepz.
Anyways, we ordered the Sashimi platter and once again, I am disappointed… why do they cut the fish so thick? why? I don’t mind places giving me less and charging me more if the quality is there… the sashimi was so thick it looked like beef tenderloin thickness… I miss Japan badly!
service…close to none. the place wasn’t packed… but I guess due to the limited staff (seems like only the family works there) we got close to no service. But I was gracious enough to even give them 12% for no service…
disappointed.should I just stop eating Japanese food in Toronto? Save my $ and go back to Japan for another visit…
Please God, give me a decent Japanese place…

This place is about two minutes by foot from my house, so naturally I’ve had dinner here on many a night. The atmosphere is really nice for a little strip mall, and the owners are a very nice Korean couple by the names of Paul and Grace.
What you need to know is basically this: their salad dressing is very very good and probably made in-​house, service is average, the place is always impeccably clean and ingredients are insanely fresh. The sushi rolls are nice and thick, the rice is cooked perfectly, and the fish doesn’t have a hint of unpleasant taste. Tempura is more vegetable than batter, noodles are generous, teriyaki sauce is delicious. Their bulgogi is also great.
You can have pop, beer or sake to drink and ice cream for dessert.
I recommend their vegetable rice if you like something sweet, katsu udon if you would like something a bit heavier, and their sushi for any reason whatsoever.

I found myself in Markham for the first time late one scorching afternoon and consulted my GPS to satiate my hunger pangs. Markham Sushi is what resulted when I typed in «Markham» and «sushi». Fair enough, I thought and ventured to try it.
Late afternoon is something of a limbo for restaurants, so I wasn’t too worried that the restaurant was empty when I arrived. The friendly man behind the sushi bar and the woman who greeted me with a warm welcome appeared to be a Korean couple. The décor in the small strip mall restaurant was more authentic and pleasantly ornate than I had expected.
I quickly decided on the sushi and sashimi dinner special from the thick menu complete with colour photos. The appetizer salad and miso soup that quickly arrived were nicer and more delicious than average. I especially appreciated the abundance of extra rich and creamy dressing on the salad. My dinner was good and the peace and quiet of the place really enjoyable.

Markham Sushi has been around for years. Since it is hidden inside the plaza, you would not even know it exist when you drive by… I meant to try them out for a long time but not until now…
Lunch Specials till 3 pm has a good selections of Teriyaki, Bulgoki, Sushi set starting from $ 6.99.
The waitress wife was not there when I walked into the empty restaurant, so the sushi chef husband has to serve me and take my order. Quite a few people came in while I waiting for my lunch.
Sushi Lunch Special ($ 8.99) has a decent selection of fish though 4 of them were salmon. The fish were all fresh and I was a little surprise with their quality.
Private booth does provides a lot of privacy, but it was harder to get any attention when I need any services.
Dinner Bento boxes are all priced reasonable I might come by and try their dinner offerings as it is always good to support local business.
Closed Sundays!
