Malado Sushi

This is my favourite Korean restaurant!!! We have gone there many times lunch time!
The owners are very nice and friendly
The food is the best… very fresh sushi, the kalbi is nice and chewy, tempura is light and flaky. They have lunch specials but even if you order from the regular menu it’s still worth it as they give you so much food! We’re always coming out of there full & happy! :)
Easy mall to find parking.

I live at Yonge and Eglington but have to drive my son to soccer practice in Downsview. We found this tiny place in a strip mall off of Finch and decided to give it a go. We’ve had a lot of sushi since moving to Toronto but hands down this is the best sushi I’ve had in Toronto! Prices are very good especially for what you get. We ordered 4 rolls between the two of us because we couldn’t narrow it down. The rolls were HUGE! I could barely fit one roll in my mouth! All four rolls tasted amazing! The fish was fresh and the interior of the rolls were rolled with an abundance of ingredients, not mostly rice like other places. Big portions of avocado or crab, cucumber etc. It was so good. My son who will opt for sushi any chance he gets said this was the best sushi he has ever had.
The service was very friendly and they give you complimentary tea, miso soup and another kind of soup while you wait for them to make the rolls.
We will definitely be back again and again and again!

I have been to Malado many times because it’s so close to home. It’s a small family owned restaurant that’s got the feel of a mom and pop shop. They have a pretty extensive menu of Korean and Japanese dishes. Their Korean dishes are far superior to their Japanese choices (probably because the family is Korean). The sashimi/​sushi are not high quality, however the price isn’t too high so you do get what you pay for.
I always get a pork/​kimchi with tofu dish called tofu samkeapsal on the menu (I looked it up and it’s called dubu kimchi, not sure why Malado calls it the other name). It comes with a serving of purple rice as well. During lunch they have daily special bento boxes that are a fantastic value. Most of the time I always end up taking food home, despite having quite a large appetite.
After you order they’ll give you a small complimentary noodle soup and then bring out the banchan consisting of kimchi, pickled daikon, beansprouts and some other things. It changes from time to time.
Service is sometimes hit or miss. If you sit in one of the separate booths you’ll have to constantly be peaking out to call them if you need anything. But, they are nice when you do call them so that’s not really a big issue.
Parking is easily found in the lot right outside.

Wonderful service! Very kind family business. Love the décor. The Benton box comes with soup and is quite good. Area is weird but restaurant us great!

Wonderful service. Complimentary green tea. Ordered California rolls which were DELICIOUS! Very reasonably priced.

I went there yesterday. The food is fantastic, portions are right and owners really cut. Fish in sushi were fresh, they give me a soup as starter and a little vegetable dessert without asking. I really appreciated that. Coming back soon

Amazing value. Cozy setup and very friendly staff. Loved the sashimi and bento box selection.

What a wonderful little Japanese/​Korean eatery! The owners are very sweet, the seating is quaint (Especially if you can get the booth) but most importantly the food is excellent and well priced! all of the Maki rolls we had were great (spicy tuna, spicy salmon, yam, California, avocado, cucumber), the calamari for $ 6.50 was some of tastiest I’ve had and although portion was smaller it was right for the price.
Next time I will try the Korean cuisine and if it’s anything like the Japanese I’m already salivating!

This is my favourite Korean restaurant. I have been there around five times. Servers are super nice. Food is great.

I’ve been to this place about 3 times and I love eating here. I’ve tried a lot of the dishes on the menu, and I enjoyed them all. The moment you enter you get a Japanese/​Korean vibe from the décor. Once you’re inside you will most likely be greeted by one of the family members (usually the son or daughter).
The food is very authentic. It’s beyond comfort Japanese and Korean food and there is a great consistency with the entire experience. If you get a chance, sit in one of the enclosed booths. Once you get all of your food they will unfurl the shades, enclosing your booth from the outside.
I highly recommend this place.

First time checking out this restaurant and it’ll now be our go-​to for Japanese. I was a bit worried at first as we were the first ones in for dinner but then within half an hour, about ten other patrons came, whew!
We enjoyed our teriyaki and tempura bento boxes; tried both salmon and beef. First came a mini vermicelli soup and small fried fish bites; we thought this was unique. Our bento boxes came with miso soup, salmon/​beef, udon noodles, house salad, two pieces of California rolls, rice and five tempura pieces. Food was tasty, no complaints, fast service and for $ 9.95, we were really amazed with the spread. We’ve been to several other sushi restaurants on Dixon and Steeles and this place offers way better value. I like having variety in my entrees and especially likes the nice variety in my bento boxes. Took a look at the prices for their other offerings as well and they are very well-​priced. Will make it a point to try other items next time. Glad we discovered this place!

I’ve been to a few Korean restaurants including Kimchi House, Paradise a.k.a. Nakwon, BibimQ and Korean Grill House.
Unlike Kimchi House or Nakwon, Malado Sushi’s food prices are cheap. Majority Korean being under $ 10 or $ 15. Just by the name, people would think that this place is a Japanese restaurant but it’s Korean and Japanese. They have two chefs, one for Korean and another one for sushi.
I’ve tried pretty much everything at Malado including, Bibimbap, Gamjatang, Hueibeupbap, Tofu Kimchi, Korean pan cake, and salmon sashimi. Everything except Gamjatang is amazingly delicious.
I’m a picky eater especially when it comes to Korean food. I’m Korean and I guarantee you would love this place as much as I do if you like Korean food.
The restaurant is clean and cozy. The chefs provide great customer services. I go to this restaurant every or every other weekend ! :)
Some of other restaurants that I like to dine at are Moxie’s Grill, the Keg, Spoon and Fork (Queensway location only), and Sanso-​tei Ramen.
