Delicious sushi, delightful and freshly made. The service is quick and prompt, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the hygiene is optimal too.
The food here is always fresh and always packed. It is run by koreans which is a bonus and the food is always consistent. Besides their sushi platters, their yaki udon is really delicious!! And you can ask them to make it spicy! Their korean food is decent, we order the kangpunki (sweet and spicy pork) and it's pretty good. They give 10% off take out orders if you use cash. One of the things I really like about this place is that they give you a wide variety of fish with their sushi trays compared to other places and their menu has pictures of every dish so you know what to expect!
Food is good and service is quick. The staffs are not always the friendliest but never rude. Food presentation is always nicely done. The lunch special is a great deal. Been here many times and will continue to come. Thanks Gal's sushi! Great establishment! Keep it going!
I get take-out from Gal's all the time, typically to bring back to the office for lunch with colleagues. The sushi is decently priced, and you do get the quality you pay for. We usually get an assorted sushi platter to share, and then tempura and seaweed salad on the side. The crab salad roll is really yummy and is usually one of the first ones to disappear from our platter. It usually takes them ~40 min to put our order together.
I have been going to Gal's since they opened, and the quality, service, and food still has not changed. The servers are really attentive and you are able to press the bell when you require help. When you come in the staff greet you. The restaurant is always pretty busy. During the weekend it's packed. Night time is packed. Lunch time is also packed. Lunch time is the only time I've ever seen a line out the door though.
The best deal is the lunch bento box. It comes with a ton of food. I always order the bulgogi sushi bento. A standard box comes with bulgogi, rice, six rolls (two california, two spicy salmon, two deep fried yam or crab rolls), assorted sushi, and either potatoes or jap chae. For ~$12 you can't go wrong.
Dinner is a bit pricier ~$20, but you get a lot of food. The standard miso and salad, then all the appetizers, then your box with sashimi if you want, sushi, and rolls. I've never left this place hungry.
The sushi always tastes fresh and I find the quality to be good compared to other places I have gone to in Markham.
I would definitely recommend this place for lunch/dinner with friends.
Horrible service, but great food.. Came here for the lunch special (L4 is the best bang for your buck). It comes with 6 maki rolls (3 different kinds, 2 pieces each), 4 assorted sushi pieces, 7-8 assorted pieces of sashimi, rice, glass noodles, salad and miso soup. All that for only $8.99! The sushi consistently tastes great here, but another thing that is also consistent is the horrible service.
They have good lunch special deals. The food is pretty good. Not super authentic but I still enjoy my food every time I go here.
Simply the best.. This is the first restaurant review that I have ever written. That is how good Gal's Sushi is. The special rolls are creative and presented impeccably. The fish is consistently fresh. And the wait staff is kind and attentive. I can without a doubt say that Gal's is the best (and most consistent) sushi around. It is worth the slightly higher prices. If you're on the fence, try it -- it will quickly become one of your favorite restaurants.
First time. Wasn't expecting much so was a bit surprised. Ordered sashimi and a fried appetizer. Service was prompt and decor was nice. Price was ok. Place was busy. Would try again. 70%
If you're looking for an authentic sushi experience, this is it! We decided I try it out because of the great ratings and reviews and we're sure glad we did! The atmosphere and decor was great, very cozy and inviting. It was fully staffed and everyone was really friendly. We ordered Gals platter which consisted of a mix of sushi, sashimi and rolls. We also ordered a side of vegetable tempura (cuz I can't go without it). Starters were delivered shortly after we ordered: miso soup, salad, cold noodle salad and potatoes in a sweet sauce. Great soup! The tempura was perfect and we absolutely do not have any complaints about our platter! Everything was so fresh and delicious! From the sashimi to the sushi down to the pickled ginger. At other sushi restaurants, sushi and rolls are filled with rice but Gals had the perfect amount to ensure every bite was perfectly balanced. The sashimi wasn't fishy or slimey it was as fresh as you can get. The only roll we didn't like was the one with uni (but that comes down to personal preference I think, it was a bit too strong of a flavour for us). It's a busy restaurant for takeout, at one point there was a lineup of cars outside from people coming in to pick up their orders. There was a lineup to be seated at around 6:30p so if you don't want to wait, get there early! The prices are great and as long as you don't mind ordering their variety platters, the cost is great (ours came to basically $1 per piece of sushi/sashimi) which is much cheaper than any other sushi restaurant I've been to! Definitely a new favourite!!
Pretty solid spot for sushi and Korean food. It can be a little hard to find surface parking during prime lunch & dinner times but there's a (dimly lit) underground parking.
Service is usually good. The quality is consistent and prices are very reasonable. The Spicy Scallop roll is a must! It has great flavour and texture.
This place was amazing. Ordered only 2 special rolls and was very filling. Size of the sushi were fairly big pieces and makes it worth the price. The fish tasted so fresh, all you can eat sushi places are great but this definitely does not compare! The staff were very nice and approachable. We also had free appetizers like salad and potatoes, and tried sashimi of sea urchin. Such great flavours , definitely worth a visit!
One of my family's fave places to get Japanese and Korean food. We've been going here for probably almost 10 years and we still consider it when we decide we want sushi for dinner. I remember one time we were eating, a server came by and gave us the Cloud Roll for free because they were testing it out in the kitchen and wanted us to try (it was amazing; I highly recommend it still). The only thing I miss is that they used to offer complimentary desserts, such as red bean jelly or cut oranges.
We used to eat in but since the pandemic we've just been getting take out. Even the take out is high quality and their sushi/sashimi platters are beautifully arranged. We've never had a bad experience and the food is always delicious.
Always amazing food and service. One of the few sushi joints that open relatively late. Lots of delivery app options. 5% cash discount. Full bar.
Underground parking also available.
Gal’s has been around for a long time and is a classic markham establishment for sushi. They have been around for awhile and for good reason, they always satisfy the sushi cravings and are always consistent with the taste and quality. Service was good and never any issues whenever I have gone and good service goes a long way. Definitely recommend going to them! The parking lot can get quite full fast, and where the restaurant is located, with a full parking lot, it could be best to go along if you’re doing takeout. Great job overall!

I came here for the first time on a Friday night to pick up takeout.
I decided to go with the following:
T1 4 rolls (24pc)
2 spicy salmon rolls
1 yam roll ( sub for the crab roll $1 extra )
1 dynamite roll
plus 3 yam rolls for my sister as well as some spicy mayo.
My bill was about $53, since I was paying cash, I got a 10% off discount.
Overall, I really like the quality of food here, it tastes so fresh and delicious!
The service was also really great! I met the owner charlie who was so friendly and funny.
If I'm in Markham again, I think I'll definitely be back!
No better sushi in Ontario. The sashimi is so fresh! Everything is amazing and clean, the staff is friendly. Highly recommend. Great prices too!
