Gal’s Sushi

The lunch specials are the bomb dot com. The portions are quite generous, especially in the sashimi sector.
The dinner bento boxes are very similar, if anything inferior, to the lunch options and the price for dinner is a lot higher too. I would definitely recommend coming for lunch instead!

When I walked in, I guess they had just opened and there weren’t a lot of people — I was a bit more eased when near the end of our meal, there were tons :).
The food is okay — definitely not horrible but definitely not mind blowing. I had the bimbimbap and the bf had the gamjatang (pork bone soup). Quite honestly, I think I liked his dish way more. My bimbimbap pretty much had to be coated in hot sauce in order for it to be remotely flavourful and there was probably as much meat as the size of my thumb (and I have small fingers). His soup, however, was pretty awesome.
Service was very fast and the waitress was good. I was not brave enough to try the sushi but according to some people it’s great. I’m willing to give this place another try, just based on the fact that I might not have ordered the right dish!

fantastic cheap lunches, this is probably my most frequently visited sushi place.
mind you the quality is decent but this isn’t a high end sushi joint or anything but to me it’s better than a lot of sushi offerings in markham.
you get what you pay for and thats good enough for me! prompt quick service, never had an issue with them.

Great place to come for lunch. Service is quick, efficient and the food is good.
I always end up getting the L1 lunch special and this time is no different. I mean, you get twenty pieces of sushi/​sashimi/​rolls for $ 9.99! And there’s soup, salad, and some japchae in the bento box! Incredible value and you will leave pretty satisfied. My sister got the L3 box and it comes with 6 California rolls, 3 spicy tuna, 3 crab, and 4 deep fried rolls. It comes with the Korean glazed potatoes (gamja jorim) which are great! I’ve tried most of the lunch specials before and you can’t go wrong with any. I really like their menu; there’s tons of variety to choose from depending on what you feel like having. I wish there was some crazy bento box with everything but I just end up ‘sharing/​stealing’ some with friends/​family. So the food! Simply put, the sushi is good. It’s not phenomenal by any means but for the price you pay, it’s decent. The special rolls are pretty good here and I recommend them. They are Korean owned and I have to try their Korean food!
There’s tons of tables and we didn’t have any problems getting a table at lunch. You can tell this place is popular for lunch with the amount of people here that work nearby! The place is inviting and service is great. There is the buzzer where you press which tells the waiters your table needs service and it works well! There’s very few things to not like about this place and you will have a great experience here for lunch!

This has always been our go to place for sushi in Markham.
You’re always seated with glass noodles, a salad and miso soup (which is a tad too salty).
The rolls, sushi and sashimi have always been in great quality and consistent every time. But beware the sushi, they always put a dab of wasabi between the fish and rice.
They also serve Korean food. The bulgogi is really good (a tad salty) but it is the pork bone soup that is amazing as the meat just falls off.
It does get quite busy during lunch and dinner but they also have this neat button call system where you don’t have to frantically wave your arms to get their attention.
There is parking but there is more space underground.
We also do take out, which takes them about 10 – 15 minutes for pick-​up. If you pay with cash there’s a 10% discount.

Let’s keep this simple — it’s fast and it’s furious!
I always get take out with Gal’s because their service is amazingly… FAST!
Everytime I call in, regardless of how big the order is, they always tell me on the phone: «Okay! No problem! Come by in 15 minutes!» It amazes me how fast they go because that’s how long it takes me to get there anyway sometimes.
The sushi I would say is okay — pretty consistently o.k. — but for that price, it can’t get any better.
So if you’re ever looking for a quick fix for dinner, call Gal’s! They can do everything for 15 minutes!
I’m definitely looking forward to trying their Korean food though!

I always come here for lunch. The bento boxes are great value and always give me a dilemma: which part should I save for last?
I’d advice against getting Korean food here (specifically the bulgogi), but the sushi is mostly top-​notch!
Will continue to be a regular!
P. S. If you don’t like wasabi, be sure to mention so when ordering, because they put it into the sushi by default.

Was pretty impressed with this place, as a place to get quick, affordable, and filling food.
I went with one of their «Bento Box combo’s» that came with 3 sets of Maki rolls (tempura roll, spicy salmon, and crab roll), along with teriyaki chicken, and rice. As is standard in most Japanese resto’s, the combo also came with a misu soup and salad. The crab and salmon rolls were surprisingly moist, almost creamy like, both soft but also fresh tasting. I liked that they gave a yogurt drink to top off the meal.
The service overall was fairly quick, but I have to mention something that did bother me quite a bit (as I’m sure it would many others as well). While I was in the bathroom, I noticed one of the kitchen staff do his «business,» then leave without washing his hands — nothing, not even a courtesy splash. I’m not certain whether this guy handles food or not, but it’s a potential health/​hygiene issue either way. Only reason why I didn’t lower my rating here, is because the server I spoke to about the issue apologized, and mentioned that she would ensure it wouldn’t happen again — let’s hope so.
All that aside, I would still come back here for their combo options and speedy service.

Came for lunch and it was good.
Staff: They have buttons to help page waiters which I appreciated because sometimes it’s hard flagging down waiters. They great thing is they came quickly and would always smile and help with anything we needed.
Ambience: It was comfortable. We had a nice side booth that could fit at least 6 people (we were a party of 5). Everything seemed in good working order.
Food:Nothing too spectacular. I ordered a Chicken Katzu Udon which had a lot of meat and was very filling. I also tasted some of the rolls which were great too except too much mayonnaise for me. Overall, not too bad.
I’ll probably come back since I’m nearby but it is far from my top choice for sushi.

3.5 stars. Been here throughout the years and the quality seems to have gone downhill. Place is always busy so I guess that is why. Fish is okay quality but not the freshest. I usually stick to the maki rolls here. The Party tray is the best deal. The plaza can be tricky to park but they do have an underground parking. Service is okay here not much to rave about.

This place is alright and a decent place to go to because it’s close to where I live. It’s kind of hard to find because it faces highway 7 and when you park it’s usually on the inside or underground so finding it involves usually walking through the 1^st floor of the building or walking around because they have an outdoor entrance (besides St. Louis)
It’s more on the pricier side of sushi in my opinion but I think the value for what you get is fair. It’s pretty average and I’ve been to worse in Markham (Yellow Tail). Gal’s has lunch specials so the bento boxes are better priced and come with a decent amount of stuff so that is usually my go to dish. It’s like your typical bento box set elsewhere comes with miso soup, salad, rice, and your choice of a couple of sides to customize the box. The appetizers are generally more expensive.
I’d go back to this place and it is a place I’ve been to multiple times. It’s not bad but it also doesn’t stand out that much.

Good food at a good value.
For a $ 9.99 lunch combo, I always finish feeling full and satisfied with my meal. The sashimi may not be the freshest but the portion sizes are just enough and they offer a variety of combo choices.
The complimentary salad is nice but be warned that the miso soup leaves you super thirsty afterwards. The japchae glass noodles was also a bit too oily/​wet today, not something that I usually experience when I come here.
I would probably rate the food a 3.5 but I’ll round it up because service was great. Despite being busy, the waitress was polite and offered to fill our tea even though the kettle stays at our table.

Just as good as the first time.
I really liked our waitress. She put down the potato side dish on our table and she noticed how little potatoes were on the dish so she grabbed one she had on her tray which had more potatoes.
The pork neck soup was fall off the bone amazing just like the first one I had.

My opinion of Gal’s has changed significantly since my last visit in December 2014.
The side dishes of noodles and potatoes were still as tasty as ever but the miso soup was so so so so so so so so sosososososososossososo salty.
My K11 (marinated beef with rice in a stone pot) was pure NaCl. It was what you would usually expect from this dish but imagine the flavour condensed. It was overpowering even when paired with the rice.
My boyfriend enjoyed his gamjatang with his usual nod but IMO it was a little burnt?
We also ordered the A30 — 30 pcs assorted rolls. One roll was a spicy salmon which was okay, and the other 2 had a lobster/​crab filling which honestly tasted like mush :(everything else in the order was up to par even though not brag worthy.
Look at the pictures that accompanies it, it comes out exactly the way it looks.
The sashimi in SA1 was not worth it as it wasn’t as fresh as expected. The quality was similar to that of Sushi on Highway 7 and not worthy of a la carte prices.
They do however give you a yakult-​like bottle at the end for dessert :)
The restaurant is clean and also very popular on weekends. The service is prompt as they give you a ding-​dong button that alerts the waitresses you need something.
I won’t be coming back for a while as there are better Korean restaurants in the area.

Came here for lunch on a weekday. Place was packed. Definitely attracts more customers than it used to. Two years ago when I came for a weekday dinner there wasn’t as many people.
Fish was really fresh and sliced to a adequate thickness. Lunch bentos are definitely worth it. $ 10 and you get a box enough to fill you up. Dinner is a bit more pricey with similar stuff. So maybe lunch is more worth it.
Service was close to none. The bare minimum. Servers are not attentive and walk by you when you try to say «excuse me». Sometimes I just don’t like having to wave my arms in the arm for an extended period of time. That would be its main downfall. Maybe there just wasn’t enough servers?
All in all I wouldn’t come back unless someone suggested they specifically want to go here. Worth a try? I guess so if you’re in the area! The lunches are worth it.

3.5
Pretty good Korean run Japanese restaurant. Get the best choice trays as it comes with uni, toro, salmon belly, and ebi.
The rice is on point too.
If you pay in cash for take out, you can save on the taxes.
Ps parking is brutal. There’s underground parking but that is complicated.

Have been a regular here ever since they’ve opened! This is my number 1 go to restaurant whenever I’m craving Korean or Japanese food!
They’ve had quite a big staff change since they opened but food is still good!
Gal’s offers some of the best deals for sushi especially lunches! I usually get their lunch bentos which are around $ 10, size is good and taste is good!
Service is usually good, never experienced anything really bad before so keep it up! I remember there used to be this super cute Korean waiter but he doesn’t work there anymore *cries*
ANYWAYS, one of my favourite restaurants of all time!
Good quality Korean and Japanese food so give it a try if you haven’t!

Just been here for lunch. We ordered a sashimi lunch box, chicken cutlet soup udon, soon tofu and an avocado roll. Bento box was ok, rice a bit hard. The soup udon was ok but would have preferred the cutlet on the side and not getting soggy in the soup. The avocado roll was ok. The best dish was the soon tofu, surprisingly. It was beef and seafood. Had some beef, 2 shrimp, 1 mussel, diced squid and baby scallops. Broth was tasty and spicy. Great on a cold day like today. Tofu could have been silkier.
Service was ok, not a smile until we had paid the bill and she saw a $ 5 tip.
Parking here is really bad because of all the medical offices they have here, that use the same car park. I would say it’s ok for a bite to eat, if you’re in the area but not so great that I’d come back especially to eat.

I’ve come here a few times already and everything is pretty consistent. The quality is definitely better than ayce and the price is reasonable. They have Japanese and Korean food so there’s a lot of choices.
There’s complimentary jap chae (Korean glass noodles with veggies), salad, miso soup, and potatoes in some sort of sweet and sour sauce which are delicious. The sushi is fresh and they come out really fast since there’s like ⁴⁄₅ sushi chefs behind the sushi bar. The best choice tray is really fresh and delicious. If you get takeout and pay with cash there’s a 10% discount.
Korea food: I’ve also tried the pork bone soup ($ 13.99) which is huge and filling with the bowl of rice. The kkang pung gi — fried chicken with hot pepper sauce — is basically sweet and sour pork with a little bit of spice. Not worth $ 14.99 since it doesn’t even come with rice. Kalbi is also good but u only get 6 pieces for $ 10.99.
Overall a good option if u don’t want ayce since the prices and portions are definitely reasonable.

This is one of my go to sushi restaurants in Markham whenever we’re craving sushi. I’ve been here for lunch and dinner and both times have been great. Prices vary during the time of day. More expensive during dinner.
I’ve got to say, when the restaurant first started out in Richmond Hill, it was much better. The restaurant started out to be just a sushi place, and then opened another one next door for Korean food, and then moved to Hwy 7 and Warden. The place is definitely nicer and more spacious. I feel now that the business has been around for so long, the sushi is not as fresh as it used to be. Sometimes there would be ice left on the sashimi.
I usually order the bento boxes which are pretty good. However, the chirashi, and anything with the assorted eggs is delicious. Not to mention, the aesthetics of the food is nice.
The service is great. When the restaurant gets busy, there’s a bell on each table to call one of the servers which is fantastic considering the size of the restaurant.
