Ariake Japanese Restaurant

All I can say is, if you’re only open for 20 more minutes, don’t sit your customers down and bring then water. That’s horrible customer service! Luckily for my fiancée and I, Cynthia’s Chinese restaurant in the same plaza was open for another hour and a half, where we enjoyed excellent service and very delicious food.

The teriyaki salmon is cooked good, the sushi’s are agreeable.
Overall good food and good environment and service.
Its not the top sushi I’ve tried, but its will not disappoint you.

Not ayce sushi but the quality is amazing! The ambience is nice and comfortable with private booths and open seating. The food quality is excellent and service was attentive.

Great small restaurant. I love their service and the sushi is good as well!

Nice quaint booths and friendly accommodating staff. Let me change the California roll for salmon. Reasonably priced. The rolls were a bit messy.

I’ve been living in this area for a year now and I always pass this place and wonder about it. Tonight I finally decided to give it a try. There was only one other party there when I got there but as the night went on, the restaurant got busy. The food was good. I especially enjoyed the spicy salmon pizza. And the rolls were also good! I was happy that the menu had spicy options and that they were actually spicy. The only downside is that there is only one waitress and it gets busy. But I’d definitely go again as its so close to home. The prices are reasonable.

I stumbled to this place a few years back while looking for a place nearby. Since than been here more than 5 times and always enjoyed myself. It is a small Japanese place that offers fresh sushi at affordable price. They give you miso soup and edamame with your orders. Service is excellent as it is never too busy. Got a couple of different rolls each time and some sashimi. Ariake Japanese Restaurant is a nice find in Thornhill right outside Promenade Mall. They accept credit card as well.

This intimate sushi restaurant has become a recent favourite.
Their brown rice sushi option is the best in the city. It doesn’t overwhelm the taste of the fish at all. Instead it adds a richness to the flavour. Other places should take a page from their book.
Their sashimi is incredibly fresh. Amazing Salmon and Eel.
Best rolls:
Pacific Roll (switch the smoked salmon for raw salmon!!)
Dancing Roll
Rose Roll
Also, they have delicious vegetarian options. An amazing seaweed salad, vegetable tempura roll, and vegetable jumbo roll are all outstanding, even for a non vegetarian.

Ariake Japanese Restaurant is right across from the Promenade Mall at Bathurst and Centre Street.
This restaurant is runned by Japanese family. A really small place that can sit around 20 people tops with 1 waitress during lunch time.
They do have lunch specials from $ 8.95.
You will be served with Miso soup and edamame and fresh fruits as desserts.
There is an option for brown rice sushi if you do prefer with a surcharge.
The service is nice and friendly I usually come for a late lunch so there is never long wait for my food order. But I can see it can get busy with just 1 sushi chef and 1 waitress.
The sushi is fresh and tasty. and the cook food are all nicely prepared!
They accepts Visa and Mastercard
