Nice choice if you like Korea or Japanese style. Most maki in good seasonings. 🤪I don’t like the fired udon it can make by yourself. 🤪I don’t like they’re too hurry to take your plate off

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and the experience was absolutely unforgettable. The sushi roll topped with a flaming presentation was not only visually stunning but also packed with flavor. The flame added a smoky aroma that elevated the dish to the next level. The freshness of the ingredients, combined with the attention to detail in the plating, showcased the chef’s expertise. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and delicious sushi experience! Can’t wait to return and try more items from the menu.

This small sushi shop is known for its bustling atmosphere and incredible food. The staff is small and the kitchen is always busy, but it's definitely worth the wait. If you're not in a hurry, you'll be treated to a delightful dining experience. One of the highlights is their impressive fire display, a unique touch that adds excitement to your sushi order. Be prepared for a true feast for the senses at this popular spot.

Great value for money, quality fish. The tuna was a tinyyyyy bit stringy with tissue but the overall flavour was great. Nice presentation and many side dishes, we left very full! Crayons with the colouring sheet is a cute unique touch

★★★★★

This is, by far, the best sushi in town. After trying this sushi for the first time, we come here every single week. Food taste so fresh, presentation is fantastic and flavor is like no other. The place is small and there's no dedicated parking. However, it's worth the wait if you have to. The price is the best part, you won't spend more than $40 bucks for 2 people. Definitely if you're within the area, you must stop by Kintako.

Everything is perfect. I am so glad we came to this place, the sushi platter is just beautiful and the quality of the fish is top tier. We would recommend this place to everyone who wants to try authentic sushi. Service is very friendly and welcoming! A must try

The fish was fresh and chunky! Everything tasted great :) Warning, the volcano roll is not warm, but a cold roll with fire for presentation. We also loved the ambient jazz music as well as the coloring sheets provided.

Totally in love with this place 😍 They have outstanding service & unbelievably delicious food 😍 I was not a sushi person before trying out kintako but not I’m in love with their food. They have a variety of food for every taste. They also offer so many complementary dishes such as their delicious crunchy noodle soup & green onion soup. The owner/manager does a lot of fun tricks with cards& they offer fun activities other than that too. It’s a kids friendly environment. Last time the owner offered us vanilla ice cream on the house and made this so much fun with his magic tricks😍😍😍 I live this place and will suggest it to everyone for sure❤️ Their prices are so reasonable too

This was the first time a restaurant not only filled my stomach, but also my soul :) the attention to detail for every aspect of the food experience, including the amount of rice used for each maki and nigiri, the perfect amount of fish and fillings, and the deliciously sweet and mild soy sauce. The presentation was just the cherry on top. The sincerity and kindess shown through the customer service really warmed my heart as well. Felt warm and happy with every bite :) Thank you for providing such an exceptional experience! Will definitely come as often as possible :)

It is small and we did hve to wait for a table, but you know what, its worth the wait, because the food is presented so well, its so fresh, so tasty and flavoursome. I will be back very soon as its now becoming one of my favourites. Highly Reccommend.

Ive tried a lot of sushi places but this has been the absolute BEST! The vibe is different, they have drawings up on walls which feels nice and cozy and fun because you see all the people who love the place. Now the food - I highly recommend the 3 Maki sushis in the photo (IDR the name), Im not into sashimi but my husband really liked that one. Give this place a visit! Oh also make a reservation, we parked a bit far and walked (5 mins)

A hidden gem in Toronto, offering a cozy and authentic dining experience. The sushi is fresh and beautifully presented, with standout options like the salmon on fire and the buttery tuna sashimi. The service is warm and attentive, making you feel welcome from the moment you step in. Prices are reasonable for the quality, and definitely high value for money. We went on a Wednesday and the place was packed with a constant stream of takeout orders. Whether you re a sushi enthusiast or looking to explore more Japanese flavors, Kintako is a great choice for a casual yet delicious meal in the city.

This was a restaurant we frequented before the pandemic. We read on a local Facebook group that it was better than ever and we decided to try it again. We could not have been more disappointed in what happened. I got Oyakodon and the chicken was dry and flavourless. My wife got Bibimbap, 345 but it didnt come as advertised. The tofu was deep fried but it never said that on the menu. It was on a bed of lettuce but advertised as seasoned greens. And it just didnt taste good either. When my wife told the server that this was not good and she was not going to continue and that this was not what was described in the menu. The server told her thats just another way they do it in Korea. We made sure to call her sister-in-law who is not only Korean but runs a Korean restaurant. She has never heard of the dish that my wife had. We used to love this place but we will never return.

Excellent menu choices and very complete kids menu probably one of the best quality kids menu Ive seen in a while in Toronto-- even with a fun jelly for dessert. Salmon teriyaki was yummy, not toj sweet and was a good portion. Ordered the kintako roll. 3/5 for atmosphere because although the restaurant felt clean and welcoming, there were some fruit flies hovering around that we had to keep swatting away so that was a bit unappetizing.

Loved eating here. The only thing that I could say that did not meet my expectation was that the wasabi was quite weak. For those who dont like strong wasabi, this is may be a positive but even as a casual sushi lover, I would expect at least a bit of a kick as that is what its there for. Im not saying that it should be crazy strong like those fake mustard flavoured green formulations you sometimes find in takeout packets but if its too mild then whats the point of even adding it? Hopefully, Kintako can find a better formulation for their wasabi but aside from that, everything else was lovely.

Randomly looked up this restaurant just because we were in the area and Im telling you, this place is a hidden gem! They looked busy and we didnt make a reservation but for the last table. Weve got the leaside platter for 3 and it was sooo good! Surprised number 1, every table got a little bowl of noodles and steamed edamame as a complimentary. The sashimi was good quality and very beautiful presentation. Surprised number 2, if they were not busy at the end of your meal one of the server will have a little magic tricks show at your table!! My kids were in awe! Kid-friendliness: Kids would love this place. They have a coloring paper and crayon at every table.

It is a wonderful place for good quality Japanese food, with excellent service on top! The rolls and sushi we ordered were fresh and delicious, as was the tempura and other cooked items. They also had excellent presentation - they were even great to look at! The waitstaff were very friendly, made sure our needs were taken care of along the way, and made us feel comfortable dining in their restaurant - which in itself was clean, and created a very homely atmosphere to dining. When they had time during slower business, they even stopped by our table to make us laugh a few times! Not only that, but they were also super accommodating of our large group. At the start, we asked for the bill to be split in a very unconventional way, and they were able to accommodate it perfectly - which was quite a pleasant surprise. I would certainly go again!

I came in from out of town and needed to eat something FAST! We walked in, grabbed a table, and were severed and stuffing our faces within 20 minutes. The place was packed, but they paid attention to everyone in the house. Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggies to choose from. Kid-friendliness: Crayons and happy children.

Fresh food and amazing service. The menu had many selections and great value for the quality of food you are served. The staff were very kind and The special bento was delicious, fresh and we loved that you could upgrade certain parts of the bento. We tried the Grand Canyon roll, mango cheese roll, black dragon roll and they were very yummy. Parking is challenging in laird but there s plenty of parking in the neighbourhood. Kid friendly.

Food is delicious, service is always friendly. They remember their regulars even if they dont mention it :) Its a great place to eat with kids, definitely recommend. Kids/Kintako special bento (chicken and beef are both amazing) is our go-to. Portions are generous and just right. Their fish is always fresh and their cuts are great (thickness).

We came across this place by chance, and it was a lovely experience. There was no front desk, but we were greeted soon after we got in. Their menu had quite a number of options and the person who took our order was very helpful with explaining options and making recommendations. The food was served on time and it tasted pretty good. There was another person there who checked in to make sure things were okay, and also helped moved us to a booth seat when one was available and we got to meet an artist who did a sketch It s not a massive space, but especially with the booth seats, you could have your own space. There was music playing, but the volume was just right. It s a fun place and I d go back there for the food and customer service. They also had lots of drawings on the wall and crayons at the table so I assume they are family-friendly.
