Kaga By Ginza

Good high quality sushi, sashimi and cooked food. They also serve a range of alcoholi beverages that are rarer to find elsewhere. They sometimes do promotions where you spend $ 50 and you get a free small bottle of sake.
They are not all you can eat.
Good quality specialty fishes and lots of seasonal items. Beware, because you get what you paid for you may be walking out costing you $ 100 a person depending on what you eat.
I usually get a nice plate of good thick cut sashimi (not talking about just your salmon and tuna, Qin talking about Hamachi, Toro, sweet shrimp, uni, etc), another plate of specialty fish sashimi on its own where then they use the bones of that fish and makes you a fish soup, some cooked food. And that somehow costs me $ 100 every time I go but it’s good stuff you can’t find outside on the regular.
Pretty clean place, service is decent.

Sashimi was fresh, not thick slices served at Japanese AYCE cheap quality. sometimes thicker doesn’t always means you’re paying what it is worth, it just means they’re trying to get rid of the overdue fish. Don’t worry about this place, the chefs completely know what they’re doing. and with a touch of class! Only one negative issue I had: their «potlights» on the ceiling were so hot we also lost our appetite, we had to ask them to dim the lights a bit.

2.5÷5, +.5 for service
So I’ve been to Ginza a couple of times when I had to use the services beside this restaurant (acupuncture facility). This past weekend was the first time I went to the renovated Kaga. I wasn’t expecting much; after all it is a Chinese run Japanese restaurant.
They have lunch specials here, however you won’t see it in the website. It is a completely separate piece of paper on the menu, and can also be seen in the front door. I had the sushi set, since I saw some photos here thinking there would be diversity in the fish selection. My grandma ordered the veggie and mushroom soba.
The miso soup and salad that came with our meals tasted okay, though the enoki mushrooms were not of high quality. Meh, I kinda expected it.
The sushi pieces were salmon, tuna, shrimp, surf clam, crab, and abalone… so I guess they change every so often. Also included were 6 small pieces of salmon makis. The presentation was poor, particularly the salmon makis that were clumsily done. The food itself tasted decent, with the exception of the abalone that tasted like plastic. The salmon makis were okay aside from the fact the salmon was very thin. As for the veggie and mushroom soba, my grandma seemed to really enjoy it. I never had a sip so I guess I’ll take her word for it.
We also ordered the two piece chicken skin robata-​yaki, which was quite a mistake. It didn’t taste like anything at all really. Save the $ 4 please.
I’ll probably still end up dining here if someone in my family using the acupuncture facility beside this restaurant. Too lazy to drive anywhere else.

Hamachi was great, but the grilled octopus was quite bland and small for the price. Miso ramen ($ 10) was awful — the soup had no flavour at all.
Beef donburi ($ 10) was also terrible.
The dinner entrées are basically expensive bento boxes — they come with miso, salad and ice cream. At least with Ginza you would get seaweed salad and some California rolls (or small salmon rolls) with the meal.
The prices they charge for dinner were pricey, which would be fine if they served good quality food. It’s higher quality than Ginza was, but at double the prices Ginza charged.
The service was excellent though! Kudos to them for that.

Great food. The fish is fresh and the service is excellent. Sometimes they have special seafood that you cannot find elsewhere. The price you pay is well worth it, especially the lunch menu. Previous Ginza restaurant doesnt compare. One of the best japanese restaurants in North York.

Love this place, especially after the renovation. Great food and a wonderfully attentive staff.

Kaga is definitely a step up from Ginza. Still run by the same people but with an upgraded menu.
Here you will find fish flew directly from Japan arriving every Tuesdays and Thursdays if you want to have whole fish fresh sashimi.
Menu is covered most of what you expect from a more traditional Japanese restaurant. They also has Omakase starting from $ 50.
Lunch Special starting from $ 8.
Sushi Set ($ 10) has a good selection of fish. Quite a good value. The only complaint maybe the rolls were rolled too loosely and falling apart when picked up by chopsticks.
Staff is friendly and attentive. My tea cup was not empty.
