Japanese Express

Great fresh sashimi, rolls and crispy tempura. Some Korean food avail too. Reasonable pricing for $ 10. Always a line up but worth it. Free tea and soup on your combs.

LET’S BE STRAIGHT UP HONEST RIGHT NOW– this is literally the only place I will eat in the food court. I don’t like the pacific mall food court because it’s so small and the chairs are stuck to the ground, and there are also too many disgusting people around. I don’t like food courts at all. This place is pretty good and will always be my choice, if I don’t choose to go to axia instead.
I always order the kalbi jap chae. GOODNESS SAKES, have I made myself hungry while writing a 2am review again? Yes, Yes I have. The kalbi is so tasty while the jap chae is chewy and delicious. Beware, they do use thick jap chae, so if you’re not into that. don’t get anything jap chae. I actually prefer it and I love thick noodles, so I’m 100% down for that, all the time. It’s a nice, warm meal especially on a cold day.
The order usually doesn’t take too long to make but carrying any soupy meals to your table just screams danger to me. & The little seating area they have at their own place is too small to hold a standard tray. so I don’t know how people even eat there?

Love their takeout. It’s the best.
I love their yam maki!!!
Service is friendly.
Wait time is so short.
I would come here more often but I avoid the parking !

I always have the short ribs when I am here and it is very tasty. The serving is a good size and comes with a salad, miso soup, tea, glass noodles, rice, kimchi and some times seaweed. Everything tastes great and the ribs are always well marinated and easy to chew. The staff as well is very friendly and the prices are reasonable given all that you get. The food is always made quickly but parking at times is very hard to find at this mall, especially on weekends! It is definitely a great place to eat whether sitting down or taking out.

Pacific Mall is a pilgrimage — a nightmare voyage by TTC so really only doable when I have a vehicle. So I visited yesterday for the first time in ages because I have a car. Why the hate Unilocal?Yes maybe they are new owners, but the salmon sashimi bento was still the lovely fish adventure I remember so fondly! And the price was pretty much the same. And the people working there were super friendly!!! We were early for lunch so perhaps that is not indicative of regular service, but our lunch was delivered fast and fresh. I honestly enjoyed every bite.

I ate at this restaurant yesterday on May 4, 2015. I ordered Salmon teriyaki. I found that the noodle was rotten. I complained to the owner, he said that it’s normal it’s because of the oil. I did not think so. He kept saying that. This morning I got mild diarrhea.
I will not come back to this restaurant again. Beware of the food they are serving.

They are now under new ownership as the owners are no longer Koreans but Chinese. Their price went up for a bit, but I guess when business dropped they also drastically dropped their cheap dishes’ price.
Their food are not crappy, but not outstanding either.
Under the former owners, I loved their version of Chirashi, but I vowed to never order them again after feeling sick last time. I don’t think they have enough orders to keep fresh fish, and they now use the sushi counter for bagging takeouts, so, I’d say it’s safe to say anything have to do with sushi and sashimi is not recommended. Their rolls are still okay, though. What that also mean is that if you feel like sushi when you get here, you might want to head out toward Market Village to that AYCE place on the outside.

This place is located in the food court on the 2^nd floor of the Pacific Mall. The ramyum was very good, though too salty near the bottom of the bowl. The beef japchae noodle soup was delicious! The california rolls were a miss though, as they seemed kind of stale. Keep in mind that this restaurant accepts cash only.

I always eat here when I’m at pacific mall. Would give a five star if service was a little friendlier. But food is good!

Japanese Express is one of my top dining spots when I somehow end up in Pacific Mall. It’s located at the 2^nd level near the back of the mall (pass the mini bridge with the pond). It’s the only food stall with it’s own seating area.
Their bento boxes are very good quality for the price you pay, but my absolute must-​order is their Japchae which they sell by the pound… dare I say, it’s the best Japchae I’ve had!
It’s cash only and there is rarely a free seat in the food court, but I’ll eat standing up if I have to… or just get take-​away.

I’ve been going to Pmall for Y E A R S, and even with all the variety of chinese food. I am always eating here. I love it. Great price for great japanese food. Definitely can’t get anything like this at any other mall.
I tend to get either the chirashi, sashimi bento, or seafood udon.
…I really should mix it up though. ^^;;

Good mall food. Nice selection of Japanese/​Korean cuisine. Bulgogi and kalbi are good meals. Pork and chicken katsu were weak. Don’t bother with half the sides. Hot tea, miso soup, and salad with ginger dressing are bland fillers. The kim chi, rice, and japchae are good though. Average meal will run you $ 7-​$ 8.

Great sushi and tempura, crappy teriaki
