The chicken/pork katsu is the best that I’ve ever eaten in my life. The meat is pounded to thinness, and they use a very light batter to fry the meat, and it tastes delicious. For the price of $ 6.25, you basically get a whole porkchop with rice, salad, and your choice of a soup or pop. I recommend getting a soft drink because the miso soup doesn’t really taste that good, but if you’re ever in First Markham Place and don’t know what to eat for lunch this is definitely the place to go! The owners are nice and it’s a pleasure to give them my business.

Big Portio, I couldn’t finish my dinner. The katsu is just okay… the oil they use for deep fried wasn’t fresh oil. However, Good price for the food.

$ 9 for the sushi combo which comes with soup or drink. The soup is awful and bland. Just get the pop even if you don’t like pop. The maki rolls are fine. Nothing extraordinary, Wasabi is weak though. The sashimi is ok as well. My experience here is just good. Nothing bad, nothing great. The combo is a good sized portion as well.

I ordered the chirashi don today, because I was feeling adventurous and wanted to eat a bit healthier. Life Pro Tip: Don’t order the chirashi don. In fact, just order the chicken/pork katsu. The chirashi don costed ~$ 10.50, and I got about 12 pieces of sashimi — but not even the good sashimi — shrimp, egg, fake crab, snapper, and salmon. The sashimi didn’t taste the freshest either and was thinly sliced.

Came here to try their lunch special menu. The chicken/pork katsu is not bad for just $ 5.75. Portions are pretty decent as well. I also ordered their sushi lunch special(16pcs) of sushi for $ 7.52, however I thought was pretty pricey considering the california roll wasn’t too tasty(tasted kind of bland) and the salmon/cucumber sushi was nothing special. The owners were very nice though.

I’m honestly not sure how this place can afford to be in business with such cheap and filling meals. $ 5.75 + HST for a pork katsu meal that includes salad, rice and soup/pop? It’s been at least 8 years since I first eyed my friend’s takeout box at school and decided I needed to get one for myself next time I went… and I’ve been going ever since. It’s not going to be the best katsu(I find the katsu hard). They don’t make the best rolls. But they do provide some of the best service, the same Korean lady has been running it for as long as I’ve known and all the sauces are provided up front in case you wanted extra tonkatsu sauce. I think all prices are carefully selected to round to a convenient number after tax(eg. $ 6.50 in the case of the pork katsu). Cash and debit only.

One of our favourite takeout places at First Markham! Katsu is the best! Teriyaki and Udon Noodles are good too! Combos come with soup and pop/water! Taste good! Great prices! Friendly staff!

You don’t come here for the sushi or the teriyaki or for anything else but for one thing and one thing only. The pork katsu(…and maybe the chicken katsu but mostly just the pork katsu). For only $ 6 you too can experience one of the best pork katsus in the GTA. Salad, rice, and a perfectly breaded pork cutlet. Is there really anything else you need in life? I can’t even begin to count how many times I’ve eaten here but I have never had a bad experience once and the owner is always super friendly. It will be a sad sad day in First Markham Place food court history if this place ever closes.

This sushi place is in a Chinese strip mall. The quality is sub par and the staff was not very nice. We asked for extra plastic forks and chopsticks because we were sharing the food at the mall but the owners asked lots of questions about why we need that many chopsticks e.t.c. How else are we eating your sushi if we don’t have them? *rolls eyes*
