Ematei 絵馬亭

Sashimi is wonderful and great quality. A good variety of authentic , traditional dishes .

Great quality, $30/head. I had the 7 course $50 set meal , with an amazing mushroom soup , tofu , and cooked whitefish . Would definitely do it again.

Try their grilled fish - pike, mackerel , anything. Their futomaki is amazing too. It's not your regular futomaki at some regular sushi joint .

one of the best japanese place in town ~ just tried their grilled squid , and grilled saba, REALLY GOOD~! Also there are appetizer menu on the table, which are not included in the big one.

Hotate butter so delicious, we dipped everything else in the leftover sauce. Impossibly crispy tempura , BBQ duck fell off the bone.

A real Japanese experience. Reminds me of some random place in Japan. Good for drinks and lots of things you can't get at mainstream places. Ochasuke!!

When I first moved, I was told this is a hidden gem . Very Japanese looking place with an extensive menu, but truly nothing special about the food. Pricey for what it's worth.

Its all very good! Omakase is exceptional. i like the sushi bar !

It's authentic . Great selection and good service . Go for the shabu shabu .

omakase is really good and cheap for omakase . the courses don't tend to change that much, but it's absolutely worth trying at least once.

Charshu charhan (stir fried rice with pork ) is unbelievable. Especially with Black Cod . Best Japanese food in Toronto!!!!

Authentic Japanese , think outside sushi box! All food is great

Sardine fried rice is the bomb!

Sushi is more than decent. BBQ Eel is very very good.

Lunch specials are unique and offers good options.

try the Nabeyaki udon , one of the better ones with a flavorful broth

Salmon belly ????????

Quite authentic homey feel from Japan.

I second the stuffed crab claws ! Sooo good!! Also try the fried kimchi rice ! De-lish!!

Try the Tekka rolls and grilled black cod !

Sushi is great! Service is h o r r i b l e ! Not coming back.

A liiiittle on the pricey side relative to quality

Grilled black cod is amazing, it comes with the ematei bento as well .

like their chirashi

Get the black cod !!

Hamachi jaw was fantastic!

It is now closed permanently.

You're a fool to miss the deep fried crab claw with shrimp meat! Kanitsune Shinjyo.

The curry here is the best in downtown.

Good lunch specials

Don't come there on a Thursday night! I tried this place with Japanese friends twice , each time on a Thursday. The service was terrible, the waitresses looked totally depressed and bored to death...

Sukiyaki hot pot !

Greet omakase . Authenic + good value . Professional staff .

OMG~ their sukiyaki don is absolutely amazing!!!

Awesome sushi for a great price. The locals know about it and so should you.

Ramen sushi

Make reservations they'll make you wait up to 40 minutes

They don't take debit nor amex.
