Kintako Sushi Japanese Restaurant in East York

Best sushi in Toronto. I tried their food after a colleague of mine recommended the place, I was unsure at first, but OMG, this is seriously great, delicious sushi, everything my family and I tried was good. Food

My family and I always enjoy going to this place, the food is very delicious. The service is fast and the workers are quite friendly. I would definitely recommend coming here.

Amazing sushi I love the drinks

California Roll and tempura is delicious but the chicken is a bit dry.

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 :)

Ive only been twice, but both times i have walked out, full and happy. Staff are lovely, friendly and attentive. 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.

Love kintako. We always feel welcomed and the food is always great. Vegetarian options: Good selection for vegetarians. Dietary restrictions: Can accommodate allergies. Theyre are mindful and respectful. Just ask and they will help guide you to the rest ght dishes. Kid-friendliness: Amazing!

Been coming to Kintako for a while over the last few years and the service and food is great. Would recommend.

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)

Second time dining in here and it s amazing! You ll surely feel welcomed, have great foods and leave with the positive energy and smile on your face

Sushi was amazing!

My family and I frequent this restaurant. We like the house noodle, chicken katsu, sushi takeout trays. Food is generally fresh. We mostly get takeouts. 10% discount on cash payment is good option

The most delicious sushi rolls I ate

Excellent Food and Service!

Excellent sushi and wonderful service! Sushi boat is a terrific value! Vegetarian options: For sure. Parking: No real parking... some street parking BUT so much construction (November, 2024). Parking is not impossible but super difficult. Kid-friendliness: Sure... but the space is very small. Wheelchair accessibility: Not in the least.

Highly recommended..! Super tasty plates, friendly staff and atmosphere.

Amazing food, awesome customer service, everything was outstanding!! 10/10 recommend

Our favorite sushi restaurant! It is the perfect balance of tasty, fresh sushi with fun & beautiful presentations. The staff are the best, always so friendly! Whenever I ask my daughter what she wants for dinner she always says she wants to go here.

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.

The sashimi was SO fresh with generous portions. Really happy we came here.

We had a great experience in this location, excellent food and service!

Amazing food, amazing service as always !

The concept of fried encrusted Maki sushi is unique and tasty. Had the Kamikaze and Black Spider rolls. Will come back again to try Lobster roll.

Amazing place! Boat is an excellent option. Beer is so cold! I ll be back as soon as I can Food : 5/5

We tried many different shushi places but we loved them food and the service very nice High recommend

The best in this area

We love this restaurant, their Kintako bento box is second to none and their maki rolls are delicious, fresh and good size. My daughter loves their crunch noodle soup.

Sashimi and sushi was so fresh! The presentation was beautiful as well!

Excellent service, good food and amazing sushi

Very authentic Japanese and Korean food. Clean and nice place with very friendly team !!! Food

It was really nice to dine in here, inside and outside on the patio is both very comfortable, relaxing,with low music and peaceful atmosphere, food felt very healthy, well made. friendly and welcoming people, attentive staff. I thank Hazel personally for her hospitality and amazing service. Keep it up! Vegetarian options: I was very happy to found out they had various types of vegetarian meals.

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.

Great food and place.

Hidden gem. Very cool place with a unique vibe. Excellent food and the service is perfect. Our favorite restaurant in the area by far.

First time here, food is amazing. We had the king cobra, tempura, and yam avocado roll. Everything was delicious. Cozy space, friendliest staff, well be back. Thanks Kintako!

Amazing and outstanding and very reasonable price and outstanding food will be coming back over and over again

The sashimi platter was fresh, delicious, in good portion, and presented nicely. And the kind service made the meal experience especially pleasant. I will remember to revisit next time being in town.

Absolutely amazing! What a lovely little place.

Delicious food (the fish soup was particularly amazing) and friendly, attentive service without being overbearing. It was quiet when we sat down to eat at 6:15pm on a Sunday, but every seat was filled an hour later. Highly recommend!

Great service and delicious rolls!

Taste, place, food presentation wonderful

Tastier sushi Ive tried

Supreme Sashimi quality and creative sushi rolls! I would highly recommend this to my friend.

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.

Ordered chicken udon right when they opened, and had it ready for me in 10mins. Really good food too!

Very good and cozy place to enjoy lunch

Sushi is really good! Atmosphere is very cozy, we enjoyed a lot :)

First time here. Good service and will come back again.

The staff and the owner itself are all well trained in showing high value with their customers : The place has a great ambience: people chat quietly although the space is not quite big, but we can t hear the others The food : I m speechless : damn sooo deliciously the best from the rest of the Japanese restaurant I have been to: I highly recommend this kintako Japanese for a visit and try their menu: it s worth a drive if you are far from Eglinton and laird Toronto: Joe the owner is a magician from Korea way back then: he trick is with the playing cards and the last card I thought it was a joker but it say happy birthday jhong :thank you so much Joe and the rest of the staff and your chef! More power to your restaurant: good luck ! Sincerely , Jhong and company ( Oct 18,2024)

One of the best Japonese restaurants.... food is amazing and staff super kind

We have been taken out most of time but tried dine in this time. Food always tastes great. And dine in just give us an even better experience.

I always have a great time... amazing food and friendly staff.

My family and I love the food (fresh and delicious) and the service!

Always good food lots to eat lots of choices

I driving here 1 hr often to get sushi, it is the best around. High quality, lots selection and great service. Definitely make a reservation. Also try their sashimi rice bowl, it is really for! Kid-friendliness: They have crayons for kids and they can on the later menus. Lots of families always come here

Reasonable price, nice food

I enjoyed a nice meal with my kids. The price was economical and the quantity was reasonable.

Nice food, reasonable price, warm atmosphere

Its great food and I love the atmosphere

Great food also great prices!

Took my 2 daughters here for lunch. It was our first time, and a pleasant experience. Friendly service, music wasnt too loud like many places, and the food was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this establishment to family and friends!

Love this place so much! We have been coming here for many years and the customer service as well as finning experience is very good. The place is super clean and friendly and the food is always consistently yummy!

Hands down some of the best sushi in the city!

Great service!

Delicious!

Good sushi and friendly staff. Place is small and it can get crowded quickly.

House soup is delicious and salad and dressing lovely. Rest of the kitchen continued to be great too. Food : 5/5

My son loves the House Crunch Noodles. Everything is delicious and service is good.

Nice spot with good quality sushi. The staff are friendly

The house noodle soup is delicious. Everyone is always so friendly and the food is delicious. Always busy so you know its good Kid-friendliness: They have colouring pages and crayons (even for adults to enjoy)

Great place. Big portions.

Kintako is a Japanese restaurant in Toronto with great prices (5/5) and exceptional service (5/5). The food is flavorful but lacks some depth in taste (3.5/5). A decent option for Japanese cuisine.

Food is absolutely fresh and delicious. Staff is super friendly and caring. It s a great restaurant for family gatherings. I love eating here. If you re a Japanese food lover and have never been here, you re really missing out! Oh, pricing is fair. You should try it!

Excellent! Never disappoints! Best sushi! Dined in for the first time today! Staff is so friendly. Very small eat in area, but enjoyable! Food

really goood!!

Amaizing food

My experience was amazing! The food is surprisingly and the service is so good! Sure I will came back!

If there was more than 5 stars, that would be it Vegetarian options: A lot in menu Kid-friendliness: Drawing space

Fresh, delicious food with excellent service.

Had a great time here! The food was great, along with the portions! The server was very enthusiastic and even performed a magic trick for us! Would definitely come back again

Amazing sushi restaurant! One of my go to now with my family. Wonderful service and such yummy food! Would 100% recommend.

5 star review hands down, super friendly staff and the quality of the fish is next level!

Excellent service, amazing presentation (possibly the best Ive seen in a LONG time), fantastically delicious and fresh food. So glad we stumbled upon this place! In addition, we had the most entertaining server. So many jokes and little tricks, without being overbearing! Thank you!!!

Everything was awesome! While we had to wait to get seated, wait til we can place our order and wait some more for our food to be served, it was all worth it. Staff s nice too. Will definitely be back, highly recommend!

A hidden gem in East York if you crave for authentic Japanese food. We ordered Unagi Don n Beef Udon, both are Oishi n very big portion. Price is also reasonable if you consider Toronto pricing nowadays.

I had a wonderful meal at the restaurant. The sushi was fresh and delicious, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. The staff was friendly and attentive. Highly recommended for great Japanese food. Ill be back!

Great place, good quality, good portion.

This is a small, private Sushi restaurant with a very warm atmosphere. We highly recommend this restaurant.

One of the best sushi restaurants in the city, my daughter loves the place and I love the Sushi. Vegetarian options: Veggie roll is great

Hands down Torontos greatest sushi and Leasides best kept secret, so dont hate me for shouting about Kintako from the rooftops on here Giant menu with plenty of variety for everyone, Id give 5 stars just for the small cups of noodles they serve as an appetizer, its seriously just incredible Amazingly kind staff, plus the maki is perfectly rolled and so delicious I dare you to finish your order in one sitting, try the volcano rolls but word to the wise dont wear anything flammable

A small restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, serving delicious food. A hidden gem and a must try if you are a sushi fanatic.

I absolutely adored the salmon roll. No other sushi restaurant could beat this restaurant . Five Food : 5/5

Nice food and environment! Highly recommended!

Excellent chicken teriyaki and surprisingly gorgeous mocktIls. I had the blue lemonade. Will definitely visit again if Im in the area! Vegetarian options: Quite a few! Kid-friendliness: Cute drawings all over the walls.

The food here was delicious! I got a bento box and there was so much food, I was so full! Everything was fresh and tasted delicious. The atmosphere is also great and they provide paper and crayons to occupy yourself. Which was much needed because the place was super busy so it took a little longer to get our food to us. I will definitely be coming back.

This place is the spot to be!!!

Wonderful place referred by friends. Great food and service. Definitely recommend more ppl to visit!!!!!

Great sushi and great lunch deals!

Good food !

Beautiful atmosphere, delicious sushi and refreshing house made lemonade. Best sushi I ve had in a long time

Super yummy and fresh sushi! Highly recommend :)

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.

Awesome little sushi restaurant with great food and great service, also a good spot for kids! Definitely order one of the platters, it is an incredible value!

Lovely ambiance, with top notch sushi quality.

The Maki Deluxe has incredible value, and I come back here specifically because of the good price on this menu item. I really hope they don t touch the price on this item. The sushi is delicious and the fish is high in quality. For $22 you get enough sushi for more than a whole meal. Additionally, they give you free noodles, and a soup and salad with certain orders. This place is a gem.

This is easily the best sushi restaurant I have ever been to. Everyone I bring here loves the food and the service. Excellent chef and employees. Highly recommend!

We love Kintako! This is my familys favorite Japanese restaurant in Toronto. The food is always fresh, and the small restaurant is cute and cozy.

Super fresh fish and delicious food with a nice presentation. Friendly service and fair prices. Highly recommend it.

The sushi is great, as well as the sashimi plate. The environment cozy and service is good.

Great food. The miso soups were awesome and all of the plates have lots of delicious sushi, maki, and/or sashimi on them. The White Dragon that we ordered was especially good. Would recommend.

Cozy small restaurant!

This is the best sushi ever. Definitely our favourite Japanese restaurant. The food came very quickly and the service was amazing.And we got a magic card trick from the owner. They are amazing!

Great customer service, best sushi in town

Best sushi in town

Delicious every time!

Food is so good and we enjoy it so much. Nice waiter and good service. Highly recommended :)

Great sushi platter for 3

Yummy

Loved their Black spider roll! One of the standout features of this restaurant is their complimentary in-house noodle soup. Its truly heavenly, with a rich and savory broth that leaves you wanting more.

I want more sushi!!! The food was soooo good. I cant wait until I come back again.

Best!!!

Sushi tastes fresh, even the appetizers were delicious! Service is amazing, they re friendly and kind. Highly recommend getting their platter it was worth it.

Delightful spot. Very kid friendly plus delicious food. Black Dragon roll was fantastic. I saw the beef teriyaki being wolfed down across from me. The depth of flavour of the veggie udon noodles was out of this world. Takoyaki was great. Fabulous fresh lemonade. Hakutsura Sake hit the spot. Park at the shopping plaza adjoining Laird and Wicksteed and walk across. What a find. Kid-friendliness: Crayons on all the tables. Drawings from customers on the wall ... proudly displayed.

Amazing food at this place. Not just sushi, but everything across the board. Try some of the soups! Love this place and try to come back as often as I can.

The food was delicious the bento box had all my favourite sushi rolls inside of it

Wonderful food wonderful presentation wonderful service. This was our second visit and will definitely come back again and again Food

Visited while waiting for my Toyota to be serviced. Nice folks and the Roll and Sashimi I ordered were great. My ratings are strict, so my 4 stars are most peoples 5 stars :)

Great food, with excellent choices. All fresh, and incredibly delicious. The service was very fast and the staff are extremely polite!

Amazing food, great service and a very friendly atmosphere

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.

Fantastic place we ordered take out and before that we went to dine in, both time fantastic service, the sushi were so fresh and delicious, the assortment is like never seen before. Keep up the great quality and varieties !and the price point is great !

The house crunch soup is to die for. My top favorite soups ever. And everything else is so pretty and tasty

Popped in for a quick bite. Was very surprised by the quality of the food I was served. Was not expecting it to be as good as it was.

Great Japanese place in Toronto

It s delicious, fresh and great size in portions! Friendly service and the price is right.

Have been craving for sushi recently, I had sashimi appetiser and scallop maki, fish is fresh and service is good as well

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.

Sashimi was fresh. Nice boutique restaurant.

We ordered the house crunch noodles and Sushi Boat A. Came with a salad and miso soup! Every thing was great and tasty. Definitely coming back again :)

The food was super fresh and the prices are very reasonable. Also, the staff is super friendly too. (The reverse osmosis treated water is good too!!)

Love this gem of a spot whenever Im in the area. Sushi and rolls have more fish to rice ratio and is the perfect temperature. Bento box is delicious. Service is always super friendly. Dont hesitate to check them out when craving Japanese food.

Lemonades are fresh and refreshing As vegetarian it has many options for sushi loved it Kid-friendliness: They have colouring options for kids. To wake up my inner child I coloured too.

Delicious food.

Great food. Highly recommend special Bento box

A cozy Japanese restaurant with wooden booths. Sashimi is fresh and udon soup is delicious.

The price is reasonable and food is good.

Great sushi!

Nice place with good food

We really enjoyed the sushi. It was the best! there was coloring for kids and that was really fun. The lemonade and the Shirley Temple were also very good. The vegetable tempura dinner was fresh and crispy!! Thank you.

The 20 piece sashimi combo is the best sashimi for price Ive had! Volcano roll was great too!

nice sAshimi

Really fresh sashimi and interesting sushi options. We tried the volcano roll. Delicious and a must try.

Good food. Teas get free refills.

Best sushi we ve ever had, some even better than from Japan itself. The staff are so sweet and funny, one played a prank on us.

Absolutely enjoyed our date night at this quaint little spot. Amazing spread and drinks were great! First time here and won t be our last. Coming next time with family and friends for sure. Ordered the spiced calamari and the spicy sushi tray which came with miso soup and salad . Parking: We parked at the Canadian tire parking Kid-friendliness: Didn t get my kid along but saw other families and they have crayons on every table to keep them busy. The place was spotted with lovely kids art masterpieces!

Very good food! I really liked their Takoyaki and rice bowl. The server was very polite as well, and I liked the atmosphere and music.

Second time and Im always blown away by how much quality food you get for the price !!

Tasty food at reasonable portion and prices! Excellent service and presentation.

I LOVE Kintako! I love the atmosphere, the food is always amazing and staff is always so sweet and welcoming! Best sushi place in Toronto

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).

Dietary restrictions: Helped with gluten free options. Gluten free Soy sauce. Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly. Families everywhere. Recommended dishes Soup, Salmon Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll

It s a great little spot, just what you need when you crave authentic Japanese food! Will be back, thank you.

This is my favourite sushi place in east Toronto. Very clean and fresh. Service is fast and on point. I highly recommend them !

The food is awesome! Try Salmon rolls and dumplings!!! Awesome. Some key takeaways : Service was really quick. Nice atmosphere! Welcoming and sweet staff! Nice fresh food! I am big Anime fan so as soon as I entered this place I found myself in a blissful oblivion! Felt like I am in one of my beloved anime settings. Its a call place and makes you feel realxed from the hustle and bustle of the city life....a must visit and highly recommended! They serve Sake as well!

Friendly service and great food! Now a favorite for Toronto sushi.

Excellent services and food !!!!

My recent visit to the sushi restaurant l The sushi was tasty, but the use of bleach to clean the tables was unpleasant. Id recommend they switch to safer disinfectants like Lysol wipes.

Cozy place, with a special customers service. The owners make type to feel welcome. Everything is delicious. We ordered the Kamikaze and was amazed by the flavour. Definitely recommend!!!

Its very pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff.

Sushi & sashimi are fresh. Service is good. Will come back again.

Good food for great price!!

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.

I like the food, it s so tasty! Definitely gonna come back again. The servers are also friendly!!

Very good food, place and service! I would definitely recommend this place.

The food was great! Vero recommended for family with children :)

Beautiful environment and great food!

My son thought the kids meal was very tasty. The sashimi was very fresh

We ordered the BP4 Laird Platter for two people, which comes with 50 pieces of delicious sushi and a variety of rolls.

The environment and food are good

Fantastic experience! Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Food was also very delicious at very reasonable prices and large portions. Highly recommend the salmon trio!

Cute neighbourhood Japanese restaurant. Food was amazing and the owners are super friendly! Highly recco the Salmon Trio!

Amazing food, service, and warming atmosphere! Our first time here. Well definitely be back!

Visited This quiet place for the first time since my daughter wanted some ramen. Turned out to be a hit and amazing experience. Food is top notch, service the best and the whole dine in experience is worth every single penny. Staff has been very cordial too. My wife is a vegetarian and she loved her food too

Even without making a reservation we were served quickly and the food was wonderful. I highly recommend.

Nice atmosphere, I recommend the yam tempura and cheese roll!

Lovely little restaurant on Laird, near McRae. Fulsome sushi menu but also some nice bento selections. Very tasty, satisfying, and at a great price. Pork katsu, chicken teriyaki, and tempura selections were delicious. Give yourself a treat and try Kintako!

Our go to sushi place. Highly recommended

Everything is perfect here! I think the most delicious sushi restaurant in Toronto. Highly recommend visit here!

Best sushi I ve had. Everything was very fresh.

Great place with friendly staff, food was amazing, everything was so fresh and delicious.
