Kingyo Fisherman's Market

Great place for authentic Japanese food! We ordered their appetizer platter and were soooo happy with the choice! I can’t recommend their shrimp tempura (ebi mayo) enough, best I’ve ever had!
The fish bowls were both amazingly fresh and perfectly flavoured, highly recommend this place. Their seating is limited so having a reservation would be helpful.

I got the Salmon Lover's Don which was $27 before tax. It was delicious for sure, the rice was perfect and the salmon was fatty. You would definitely be paying for the quality here

This place is no joke. The food quality is top-notch. There are so many options on the menu that you can't possibly try everything in one seating — you have to come back again. That said, a few favorites were the brussel sprouts appetizer, any sashimi and the braised pork belly don. But again, you can't go wrong with any other options, everything is good. Would recommend ideally for groups of 2-6!

I got the marinated kaisen don, it was good! Not amazing, and for the price point there are alternatives. I was disappointed with the uni and toro hand roll. The uni was fishy and slimy, very likely it was not that fresh. I've had good uni before where the flavour was more sweet, subtle fishiness, and a smooth soft silky texture. It definitely isn't supposed to be gooey. For 22$ hand roll I would not come again. I wanted to like this place and it's not bad but it's not the hype that people have made it to be unfortunately! My friends who got the pork belly rice bowl did not get the spicy cod roe so that sucked! Maybe worth trying other dishes but it's so expensive I don't see how it stands out amongst other Japanese chirashi don places.

First time visit after lockdown and restaurant has been changed a lot.

I missed old style rather than looking at the convenience store kind of section while eating

But I still enjoyed food

I had been wanting to try this place out for a while. I really liked the ambiance and the fish was very fresh. Great presentation and service. I also enjoyed the jasmine cream roll cake and will likely be back to buy their to-go version!

Nice gem hidden in a neighborhood not expected to find such a satisfying Japanese dining experience. Went here for early dinner and ordered the chef choice plate which includes a wide variety of small dishes most of which hit the right notes for me. I especially like the torched searched fish and another fish that texture is somewhat more solid like nothing I tried before. Their shrimp and karage are good if you are into fried stuff. Their sizzling tofu is not something available at most Japanese restaurants and is a good mixture of soft and Krispy with deep flavours. Their pork ramen is solid with tasty broth, well seasoned meats and noodles that are near perfect.

Had a reservation at their place
Smell like someone SMOKED WEED in their store
Horrible service, stood there for 15 MINUTES and NONE of them ever spoke a word to me EVEN THEY ARE NOT BUSY AT ALL
NEVER GO THIS PLACE

Service is attentive and friendly. The food is fine, but not particularly remarkable. Good variety of dishes not typically found in so-called Japanese restaurants. The food here is obviously authentic and prepared with care. The fried chicken is a tad dry though, and the katsu pork can be a bit more juicy. Overall, very good food. Small restaurant, and busy, so I highly recommend a reservation. They also have a market where they sell some Japanese products as well as some of the items they serve at the restaurant. Interesting place. If I could give half points, I'd give this a 4.5 out of five.

Best vegan ramen I've ever had. Love this place for the restaurant as well as the groceries, it's such a great addition to the neighborhood!

Authentic Japanese Seafood Restaurant/Shop with fish flown in from Japan available at Market Price.

I dined here with a group of 8 during lunch time on a weekday.
Ambiance is reminiscent of an older era in Japan, maybe close to a fishing village of some sort.

The restaurant truly is a hidden gem (And I hope to gatekeep but I guess I can't)

We ordered a variety of sushi on the menu (SPICY NEGITORO PRESSED SUSHI, TORCHED SALMON PRESSED SUSHI, TORCHED SABA PRESSED SUSHI, SALMON IKURA PRESSED SUSHI)

Also did some chicken karaage, the steamed egg custard, the sizzling agadashi tofu, and the beef shabu shabu.

Food did not disappoint. Quality was fresh and the care and presentation given into each dish is definitely noteworthy.

Service was exceptional, hostesses were attentive and ensured each person got what they wanted/needed.

Some folks were still hungry and we ended up getting some of their dons and katsu's.and those also did not disappoint. The quality of fish and ingredients at this shop is insane to say the least.

Street parking available.

Come here and be ready to eat if you want a taste as close to fresh as you can without paying omakase pricing.

Great spot! Recommend trying the platter. Went for lunch and it was easy to walk in, great service, lot cheap but was a good experience and fresh food. Will be back! Would also be a cute date spot.

I loved Kingyo before it became refurbished -customer since I’d say around 2017! Here’s what I liked: the matcha crème brûlée, karaage, frozen ramen

Here’s what not to order: the sushi, I bought a party tray of assorted sushi and it was the worst and costly decision ever. My friend and I had to dump most of it because the taste was like too « earthly », it was like they used leftovers of what didn’t sell.

I’m glad they added this fisherman’s market and I get the frozen ramen all the time. Everything else is overpriced and u can buy cheaper items in Spadina, even the sashimi

We ordered the egg custard and a few different types of sashimi.the sashimi was one of the best we’ve had in toronto, butter soft.cute little market inside as well.

Hidden gem at the cabbage town.
Their karaage is one of the best in the city. They sell unique Japanese products that is difficult to find other places, so it is worth to explore.

I got the tantan ramen and it was really good! The addition of roasted sesame seeds makes it reallly good and adds a really nice nutty flavour. Nonetheless since i love my spicy, i wish it was spicy.the portion size is really good.nonetheless the ramen wasn’t special compared to other ramen shops in toronto, especially since it’s pricier here.coming here, i probably wouldn’t get ramen again.i mean i probably should’ve gotten something fish related coming to a place called fisherman market.

I’ve been going to Kingyo for a long time. The food is fantastic. The restaurant portion is quite small, so there are limited tables.

I just came back from a 3 week trip in Japan with my hubby and Kingyo has the BEST Japanese food in Toronto that reminds us of our trip to Japan! The sashimi is super fresh and even the presentation is right on! The servers are super friendly. Even tho we miss Japan, we can still enjoy authentic Japanese food here at Kingyo.
