Nigiri-Ya (Newmarket) in Newmarket

Amazing place!!!!! Delicious, cozy and lovely staff

I happened to visit this place through a friend. I was surprised that it was so delicious and the price was reasonable. It was great because there was a lot of food!!

Love the food, amazing customer service best sushi in newmarket for sure!

Fresh ingredients, great service.. we ordered a Wednesday Special plus another torched sushi. They were all delicious.

This was my first experience in this store, food quality and price were both good, with suitable verity of sushi types. Staff were nice, friendly and fast. Food

quite a nice sushi place.

Absolutely delicious! Everything we ordered from salads, soups, and best of all the sushi and sashimi, all fresh and tasty. Definitely a gem in Newmarket. Will be back!

Amazing food and variety! Great service and very clean.

Everytime me and my family eat there we are left with a full stomach. The food there are gourmet. To say the least when you are deciding with which Japanese Restaurant to eat either lunch or dinner, go to Nigiri-Ya.

Such great value! Fresh fish! I recommend the bento box, chirashi don and tako yaki! Really great customer service.

Good food, great service, at fair prices.

We order sushi from this restaurant quite often through Uber Eats. The quality of the food is usually good however, this last time it took them forever to get our food ready (went way past the last estimated arrival time on Uber Eats). I called the restaurant to see the status of my order, they said it would be ready in 5 minutes (a driver had not even been assigned at this point). 15 minutes after this, I called again to check and they said it was already with the driver (it was not, I checked with the driver!). Very frustrating if you re having a busy night, update your delivery times so customers know what to expect. I probably won t order from them again.

Food was quick and tasty! The staff were very friendly and their menu is insightful. Tons of options to choose from here!

I order from this place all the time! The staff are very kind and friendly and the food is great!

Best sushi Experience in town. Fresh and Tasty. 100% Recommend!!

Amazing food and staff. The serving sizes and portions are perfect, and the prices are fair. I enjoy eating here and the food is very tasty and fresh. Some main courses they add extra things on the is always favored. It is a smaller restaurant, but very bright and clean. You could easily have your whole family here together for a feast.

One of the best in town for sure!!!!

Best sushi Ive ever had.

A comfortable restaurant and food was good. Kid-friendliness: Their kids meal with yam fries is a good choice for kids Food : 4/5 |

I love the all day bento which has a variety of food from sushi, salad, soup, tempura and teriyaki. Great value and delicious Service always great Food

Great tasting sushi, consistently good. Great price for the quality. Recommended dishes

Fast, friendly and efficient service. Food is hot and very fresh.Bento box is a great deal and well proportioned for all.

Basic restaurant with good food. Service is quick. The place is clean. Love the sashimi and sushi. Cant advise on other dishes because thats all we ever order. But they those very well.

Amazing food. So fresh

Service was ok, environment is good, food quality is extremely baaaaad, especially with the price! How can you sell sushi of such poor quality at such a high price? Food

Here for the first time for lunch. Food was very high quality and I was impressed for Newmarket. For what we got, the price point was reasonable and lunch here is worth it. Definitely will be back!

Best sushi for value in Newmarket

Great food, great restraint, great staff :)

Excellent in every way. Quality food, great fast service at a reasonable price. They have a great lunch special 7 days a week unlike most restaurants. Highly recommended Food : 5/5 |

The best quality sushi and sashimi I ever had in Toronto. Strongly recommend!

Food here is sooooo amazing !!! Reasonable price for the steak bento very generous portion . Takoyaki is the best !!!! We ll come back for sure!!! Staff is very nice .

Hidden jem great quality

Place is dope

This is one of the best Japanese restaurant in the area. Great services and friendly hospitality. I definitely recommend this place to try out. I will come back for sure

Best sushi and rolls ever! Great food, friendly services and clean dining!! I ll definitely come again this place!! Food : 5/5

Great place for sushi! The sushi and tempura are delicious!

AVOID !! ordered takeout Monday and my salmon was EXTREMELY fishy. It we likely old fish that was provided to me. 36 hours later and I am now extremely ill with food poisoning. there are so many better spots in the area! Edit for owner: appreciate the concern and that you are looking into it. I am not typically one to leave bad reviews but it was the fishiest pice of nigiri I have ever tried. I could not eat it. My order was lunch sushi combo B

Their vegetarian Yam rolls are delicious everytime!

Cozy & high quality sushi place. First time eating here, will absolutely not be the last. Nigiri-Ya will become a favourite spot for anyone who loves good sushi as well as a good variety of other options (pictured is chicken gyoza soup with bonito broth.) Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating & even included a free menu item for us. Vegetarian options: On the menu there are a variety of different choices for vegetarians that are marked. Really enjoyed the mushroom and tofu teriyaki.

Salmon lover set is delicious. Their scallop sashimi is also quite fresh. Service was excellent.

Love their baked scallop with truffle salt roll. Staff is very friendly!!

No taste of a Big portion and Wrong order ! Food : 1/5

Good food and good service. Will definitely come back.

Great food.

Like others said, one of the best in Aurora/Newmarket and maybe GTA. They have a small dine in area so we went off hours just in case it might be full. We had the Aburi and Sushi set, both excellent. Other stuff was good too. Service was friendly. Can t wait to go back.

Ordered platters A&B to go before and finally when for a dine in to check out other cooked food... Was not impressed with the Tonkatsu.. it supposed to be a pork chop that is thick and juicy.. but was I got was a super thin rolled flat meat... Although it was 2 pieces, it wasnt enjoyable as it was super dried. Maybe I should just stick with sushi and sashimi from them.

Delicious food, friendly staff. My new favourite sushi spot in the area.

Best sushi restaurant in Aurora & Newmarket area. Everything is so fresh and delicious! Ill visit again soon!

The price is reasonable, the fish is fresh and of high quality, and it is worth recommending. The details are like tea bags, and the salads and salads are all carefully made. If you want to eat less, you can order pickup 1 hour before and get 10% off .If the fish rice can be served in a bowl and the rice can be kept warm, it will be perfect.

Always fresh sushi is what I expand get from this place with nice and welcoming staff!

The food was very yummy. It was cold in there too bad there was no space heaters

Food is above average.

Since I lived at Newmarket for so many years and it was the first time I went there for lunch with my son. Unfortunately the terrible service that I got in Toronto. When we came into the restaurant no any customer the server no any smile. When she came took our orders her attitude was so bad. I plan to order Black Nigiri-Ya Roll without crunchy shrimp. They can t make it. She recommend Oshi Sushi (Fresh Water Eel) its total different things that I want. She told me its the same items. No drinks, not even a glass of water till our meal finished. When I asked for the bill, she didnt say any thank you. I definitely wont recommend this restaurant at Newmarket location. Thank you.

Excellent Sushi and Rolls. Sashimi quality were very good! Loved the butter fish sashimi. Assorted tempura was nice as well. I personally loved the sushi with not too much rice. Rice cooked perfectly. Very pleasant dining experience. Highly recommended!!!!!

It takes forever for the dishes to be ready. Teriyaki steak is cold and impossible to chew. Even food court sushi is better than this one.

Always come here for sushi because it s so good and high quality fish. Just ordered for my work place and they took my call before they opened and were so accommodating with all my needs and specifics for my work place. So lovely here! Amazing, amazing service and great sushi

Enjoy eating from this restaurant in Newmarket. Delicious food. Would like to recommend it.

Salmon sashimi was good. Tried some appetizers as well. Looks to be a newer establishment. Prices arent bad, will visit again.

The food is amazing. They complementary pieces of sushi. They give instructions of how to eat the sushi correctly. The staff was nice and the service was quick. Overall this place was amazing and I highly recommend it.

Service is ok - a bit too slow Food - portions could be bigger, soy sauce was too salty Atmosphere is good Food : 2/5

UPDATE: Late August 2023...Ate dinner recently. Food still amazing, very fresh and cooked/prepared perfectly! Our server was Miguel(Mikey), he is a fantastically gifted server, great personality, able to give great recommendations and knows the menu backwards and forwards. Hes a real asset to this restaurant. This is a new addition to this neighborhood. The food is excellent, high quality and good sized portions. You definitely get your moneys worth! Vegetarian options: Japanese food, so lots of options. Kid-friendliness: They have a Kids menu selections, designed for kids tastes...

A friend of mine recommended this place! Food was yummy :) and the service was excellent! I love how the tempura and edamame come with the platter sushi is just right size for me not too much rice in it my boy ordered curry katsu and he said it s the best curry ever definitely visiting again next time! Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options! Kid-friendliness: There s kids combo as well :)

Amazing experience ! We just moved in town. Try out sushi places , finally this is the best !!!! Staffs are friendly , chef always smile and greet you. Even customers coming in to pick up take out, chef acknowledge them can t wait to visit again

Really good food, fast and friendly service, reasonable price. Can t wait to go back!

The folks at Nigiri-Ya make great sushi, and have even better service. My wife is pregnant, and this is the only sushi place we fully trust to eat, because theyve demonstrated care time and again to use freshly cleaned cutting boards and knives to prepare the sushi and make sure theres no cross contamination. I saw them even explain our needs to a trainee to make sure others get this level of service.

Fresh food. Excellent service. Will come again.

Some of the worst sushi I ve ever had. Me and my partner wanted to try Nigiri-ya since it was new to town. We took a look at reviews and the menu online with the accompanied pictures so we knew what to expect. The service was really nice and fast. We were served miso soup and salad and those were fine. However nothing matched the pictures online. My udon was bland hardly any toppings, and the noodles were overcooked, the shrimp tempera was undercooked and oily, the pumpkin tempera was brown and slimy looking (I didn t bother to try and eat it). The rice in the bento was stale and didn t taste right. The gyoza, seaweed salad, were fine. The salmon teriyaki wasn t even teriyaki, it was a plain grilled salmon filet with sauce served on the side. The dynamite roll was just a shrimp tempera with a tiny bit of spicy sauce. My partners spicy roll combo wasn t good either. The fish inside didn t look fresh at all, the tuna looked dark and old and the salmon looked squishy and slimy. Instead go to pho fusion a few doors down, they have awesome Vietnamese dishes for a fraction of the price.

Food and atmosphere of the restaurant was great. I did takeout with my friends and I will definitely bring my family here next time :)

Thats why ive been living here ! Everything is awesome There wont be any failures on the menu. If you are reading this, just try !! recommend !!

Best taste and service. I ll definitely visit this place again.

I ve eaten salmon lover platter with my friends it was really good and fresh. I wasn t a big fan of salmon but I really liked it :) Especially my favorite roll was smokey teriyaki salmon roll I really recommend you guys. I ll definitely visit here again

Amazing food and service. Fresh sushi and sashimi. Highly recommend this place! Their torched oshi sushi was also great.

Pretty excitied on this brand new place. One of the best take-out sushi in the area for sure! Food is so fresh, friendly staff & reasonable price !!

Amazing food for a great price.

Tried it last week. First time. Absolutely awesome. Had the shirashi and spicy salad. Both delicious. My new favourite sushi location in Newmarket. Gotta try it.

The experience at Nigiriya Aurora was very pleasant. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Restaurant was clean and inviting. We ordered the chef s choice platter. Fish was very fresh and rolls were delicious. And spicy sashimi salad was very tasty.

Loved the atmosphere; it is new and clean. The food was awesome. I tried sushi sashimi combo and green nigiri roll, salmon oshi sushi. Fish was the most freshest Ive eaten in years and rolls were perfect one bite size.

Was visiting my in-laws in Newmarket and feeling bold enough to try a new place for takeout for two big families. Very pleasantly surprised with the quality of food. We tried Shrimp Oshi sushi, Aburi sushi, and Chirashi don. Everything was fresh and so tasty. Sushi pizza became my new favorite. Tempuras were crunchy and the spicy sashimi salad was beyond my expectations. Will definitely order again next time we visit here.

Came for lunch by complete chance and it was very good. The ambience is nice and the staff are friendly. The sushi was great; large portions for a lunch meal and the price is decent for the amount and quality of sushi you get. Would definitely come again.

One of the best Japanese restaurants I ve been to in Aurora. The sushi and sashimi were so delicious. The people there were also very nice and helpful to choose from their signature rolls, some of which I was unfamiliar with. Smokey teriyaki salmon was so good. They also included fatty tuna sashimi in the box, which I really enjoyed. My kids loved the shrimp tempuras and tonkatsu. Would love to try more on their menu.

Great fresh sushi, very enjoyable service, great portions

Initial review: Ordered a takeout and was pleasantly surprised. Quite decent casual/everyday sushi place - quality food, generous amount and nice presentation. Larger size miso soup and some rolls. Also included a bonus item. Will order again. Update: Ordered again. We ordered sushi and bento box with steak (medium rare). When order was picked up we realized, that instead of a bento box we got a steak teriyaki (well done). My husband called the restaurant to see if they can fix the mix up and they said that bento boxes are only served for lunch. First, we ordered based on paper menu, that never stated that, second - the lady that was taking the order should have mentioned it. But things happen, we understand, so were expecting some solution. They offered to cook a new steak to make it medium, but refused to address the bento box situation. E.g. apologize for confusion, make an exception this one time or at least reimburse the price difference or add an app to make up for miscommunication. Nothing was offered. Sushi quality is good, other food (we tried steak teriyaki & curry) - so-so, customer service is poor. Will not come back. Vegetarian options: Some rolls that we ordered were vegetarian. They taste was good.

This has quickly become mine and my husbands go to sushi place for dine in and take out! Fresh and delicious flavours, great friendly service, and reasonable prices.

I did takeout the other night, and chose the Roll Combo. I was really impressed how carefully the restaurant packed the food. The rolls were fresh, and tasty- exactly what I was looking for! I ll definitely come back next time I m craving sushi.

I ate tons of sushi, this one has the worst rice. I had hand rolls but the seaweed wraps were so soggy

A great little sushi place with friendly staff. The fish is really fresh, one of the better sushi places in the Newmarket Aurora area. I would recommend giving them a try.

The quality of their sushi is unbelievable in every detail. I ordered a custom platter, veggie futo maki, yam roll, salmon sashimi and stuffed mushroom. Their rice is made with the perfect balance of zesty and sweet, unlike most other sushi places that make their rice too heavy either on sugar or vinegar. The ratio of the ingredients in their rolls is meticulously portioned out so that you can taste each ingredient without having one overpower the other. The texture, colour, and flavour of the salmon sashimi are a display of freshness at its finest. I find deep fried yam in other sushi places gets too greasy when it gets cold but the yam roll at Nigiri-ya tastes consistently great even after the roll has been sitting there for a while. And the stuffed mushrooms were absolutely fantastic. I cant believe I had all of this amazing experience from a take-out order, at such a good price too. The chef here is a truly a master of his art.

The Sashimi was very fresh and tasty! The salmon sushi pizza is a must! The staff are very friendly and prices are affordable.

I absolutely love this place!! They are amazing and the food is outstanding!! They really go the distance for their customers. The owner even remembered that I love ginger and brought extra before I could even ask! I highly recommend going there for amazing sushi!

I lived in Aurora more than 7 years and I am pretty sure that I have tried almost all Sushi restaurant in Aurora and Newmarket area. Lol. This place was one of the most pleasant place. The foods were great, the staff who handled were also awesome. Cant complain about any. I would definitely try again and would recommend to all my friends in this area.

This sushi spot called Nigiri-Ya by far the most fresh sushi I have ever tried. There s a nice lady name Gee who was my server, did an excellent job making sure I m comfortable and got what I needed. The food took less than 10 min to arrive to my table, and in the mean time they brought me a free on the house appetizer. I was very impressed by the quality of service and freshness of the food. They have another location Toronto downtowns where they ve been open for over 10 years. They just opened this second and new place in Newmarket Ontario (5 Months). Lucky the people of Newmarket. I am totally recommending this new spot to all the ppl in Newmarket who loves sushi, to go and check it out!! You won t regret it.

Excellent food, great service, deliciously fresh

Really bland overpriced sushi. The tempura was tiny and 10 dollars the rolls are mostly rice and low quality. There are many other places in town, don t waste your money.

This is a must visit sushi restaurant - incredible house rolls and top quality sashimi. This has quickly become our go to place for sushi in Newmarket.

Great experience every time, best in aurora for sure!

Very very high quality sushi for a good price. Very nice restaurant inside. Definitely try this place if youre in Newmarket. Best price for sushi this quality that I have seen.

This is a good alternative from the usual higher priced sushi restaurants in the area. Relatively no frills, simple decor and friendly staff. We got a sushi combo A and does come with edamame and tempura. I took a few shots of the menu. They have a dine in combo option that reminds me of the Yonge and Finch area. This place has 4 tables, with 4 seats and 4 bar counter seats.

Yam rolls are excellent.

Very nice place. I loved the soup. Kids loved the

Healthy food and good portions at a reasonable price! I can get one Lunch Tonkatsu Donburi and itll last me 2 meals. Tastes amazing too. Every meal Ive tried there has been amazing. The only one I didnt really like was the Udon Noodles, but thats more a personal opinion thing. Im sure its delicious to someone more accustomed to that flavour. Thank you!!

Good fresh sushi

This is our go to sushi restaurant now. Their sushi is always fresh and the staff are friendly. I will not order sushi from anywhere else when I know Nigiri Ya is available. Were so lucky that theyre downstairs from our office!

Best sushi in Newmarket and Aurora easily. Highly recommend coming here for sushi its incredibly underrated. Weve been in Newmarket/Aurora for 8+ years. Weve tried all the other places and did not like them. For a long time had to get our sushi from somewhere 30+ minutes away. Until we found Nigiri-Ya. Their salmon is very high quality and melts in your mouth. Their scallops are incredible. I dont know where they source their fish or how they prep it but its damn good. Ive been to Vancouver, J-town in Toronto, and many other places in the GTA and out of all those places this places fish is top tier. The plaza its located in is admittedly a little sketchy but this place is a gem. Please support them so I can keep having amazing sushi in my area.
