Yang’s Teppanyaki & Sushi

Was going to go for phở and ended up here which is a nice change. Nice high ceiling décor. The teppanyaki area is enclosed from all the booth seating which is nice.
Happy: They had a wide variety of lunch specials which was nice. I got lunch combo c which included Yang’s curry chicken, a chunky spring roll with taro inside (not a big fan of it, but it was hot) and asparagus rolled beef which was a nice touch to the bento box. The veggie portion was nice since I like my veggies at every meal. At the beginning, we got the usual salad and miso soup which was not salty. I devoured everything …
Not happy: … Except the chicken which I didn’t know it was deep fried. The creamy curry sauce made it less oily.
The service was good. They didn’t charge us for hot tea and the washroom was big and clean.
Verdict: after shopping at Vaughn mills, it’s worth going to this place to fill up and regain your energy.

I have been in this restaurant a few times and today’s lunch deserves 5 stars. The sushi and sashimi set is just delightful. I like the hammered cast iron tea pot. Can’t have lunch without a good pot of tea! Big crowd for Friday lunch. Only complaint I have is staring at a glass vase with one single no leaf bamboo on my table. I suggest putting a more cheerful floral arrangement or a more healthier bamboo plant. That’s all!

Had a tappanyaki dinner in this place with family. It was an amazing and fun experience for entire family :) Food was great quality and very tasty! Definitely coming back again!

Absolutely amazing, extremely flavourful food. Highly highly recommended. Tepanyaki is delicious but found the cooks paid attention more to one side than the other. I would recommend going in and sitting and ordering a meal as its the best Asian food I’ve ever had in Toronto.

I can’t believe it took me so long to write a review on this place. I’ve been coming here for about 2 years… And I need to say, that they never disappoint me! The only thing I need to say is: they great food and nothing else matters. And yes, they put up a great show chopping up food in front of you)

I was a little reluctant to come here after my botched hibachi experience but it was for my work Christmas party, so I went. There were about 70 – 80 of us there and they dealt with the large group about as well as could be expected. A few things were forgotten (but always eventually done) but that’s to be expected.
Our chef was hilarious and engaged our table well by having us come up and give the cooking a shot. He had a great sense of humour, which made the experience even better.
I was a bit nervous about the gluten free accommodation but went forth anyways. They said the miso soup was gfree but it had tofu and I was paranoid that the tofu had wheat flour so I didn’t eat it. I can’t comment on whether or not it was safe because I really don’t know (and the waiter didn’t seem 100% sure). My salad had no dressing, which was sad. At least give me some oil and vinegar! So sad and dry, haha.
It gets better though. We had the option between sushi and spring rolls, so I was able to get sushi. They gave 3 cucumber and 3 avocado rolls. It wasn’t the most amazing sushi I’ve ever had but it was good!
The chef was great at keeping my foods safe throughout the preparation. He always served my food before adding soy sauce (still tasted amazing!), and didn’t allow himself to get caught up in cooking and forget (although he did advise me to yell at him if I saw him going for the soy sauce before I had my food). I had the steak which was great. Very fresh, nice cuts of meat. I also had the scallops. They were also very fresh and tasty. One of my co-​workers is allergic to shellfish, so the two chefs in our little area (also two grills) split the meat cooking. My chef didn’t do the scallops. The other chef added soy sauce and then when he was handing out the scallops my chef told him I couldn’t eat that (!). So he not only throughly cleaned his utensils and the area, but he then lit the grill top on fire to sterilize it. I was so pleased with that … I couldn’t believe it!
Overall I had a great experience! The guys at this place really understand gluten free and how to do it right! They just need some confirmation on the soup and to find a gfree salad dressing.

Made reservations for teppanyaki. Took 40 mins after we were seated to take our order for drinks and food. Cook did not start cooking until 1 hour later from seating. Not acceptable. They did not hire enough to cooks for the weekend. The restaurant was not at full capacity so definitely under staff. Price of food is not reasonable considering the service. Will not have teppanyaki here again.

We went there for Sunday lunch (late lunch) not so crowded which is good.
It was our first time to have the foods we ordered to be cooked before our eyes. Quite good experience.
The foods are excellent a bit pricey though.
The staffs and chefs are also nice.
We might try another teppanyaki restaurat that is closer to where we live.
We don’t mind coming back here again if we are in the area.

This restaurant has been around since Vaughan Mills opened. It’s the best north of Toronto Teppanyaki to be found. The larger he group the more fun it is.
The rest of the menu is very well prepared as well. Items like fatty tuna and miso cod are some off my favourites.

Hidden among the many small strip malls that circle Vaughan Mills mall lies Yang’s, a sushi/​teppanyaki restaurant. Although I wouldn’t call it upscale, it has a nice décor despite my manager commenting on the outdated white leather looking seats. I’m usually oblivious to these sorts things but I did not they’d played music that would come off my 15 year old daughter’s playlist (including a few old school rap classics).
I was there for lunch and started with the Kani salad ($ 6) which was quite reminiscent of the surimi salad at the Mandarin. In other words, it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great.
I ordered my typical spicy tuna rolls ($ 8) which I usually use as benchmark to compare sushi establishments. They had a good portion of decently (but not amazingly) seasoned tuna. I also ordered what I thought were Yang’s maki roll (shrimp tempura, bbq eel and tobiko). Instead, I got Yam rolls ($ 7) which were… well…yams…and expensive ones at that. Once again, they had ample filling but were just yams and rice. The presentation was a little anemic… in fact the plate looked a white as the outdated seats.
It was decent and better than eating in the food court but far from the best sushi I’ve had.
Maybe the kobe beef dinner is better…

It was another rainy Sunday yesterday (why do we always get nice weather mid-​week???) and my in-​laws agreed to stay with kids, so my hubby and I went shopping at Vaughan Mills. The shopping was good but when we went to Yang’s for sushi we were very disappointed. The fish tasted like it was there from yesterday, rice was too sticky, the service was terrible. I realize that it was our mistake — you shouldn’t go on Sun to a sushi place next to a big shopping mall, but still we expected better based on our previous visit a few weeks ago. I noticed many 5 stars reviews here, which is quite surprising… for the price they charge there are much better sushi and teppanyaki places around… well, may be they have better sushi chefs on other days of the week.

Food was really tasty, was there for lunch started getting busy quickly.
Customer service was good always smiling and servers had very good knowledge of the menu.
We tried a small warm LYCHEE SAKE!
DELICIOUS!!!
Would recommend and return any time. :)

The sushi is great here especially Maki Set B. The Kani salad is delicious as well but pricey at $ 6 for a tiny bit. It is unfortunate that the service is not as good as the food. The waitress came to take our order and had no clue what we were ordering and half way through asked us to show her the items on the menu because she was new. They did not come by to ask how we were doing or if we needed anything else even though we were the only table in the dinner area.

Went for the Teppanyaki on Mother’s day because it was the only restaurant near by that was not fully booked — now I know why. Very over-​priced, food was below average, and boring showmanship from the cook. Service and décor was good but fell short to make up for the rest. Our fried rice and veggies were prepared in front of us; however the meat was done on the other side by another cook where it was not viewable. They asked us how we would liked our beef cooked and regardless of rare and medium rare requests, everything was served medium. There are a lot of better places to visit for a fraction of the cost. Would not recommend.

First time here it was unexpectedly good, especially the spicy salmon rolls and the shrimp tempura!
Quality restaurant with good ambiance, don’t hesitate to dine here.

My 2^nd time here and my LAST time.
Found hair on the plate while my mom was eating her fish.
The chef did basically ‘Nothing’ to entertain. Just did volcano and fire thing. That’s it! Very rushed service.
Busy place but not enough chef?
Quickly cooked the dinner and disappeared.
We went there for fun and good food.
But we got neither. ask for another hot Miso soup and got charged $ 3 for it.
And of course we paid Full price for the black cod dish after we found the long long hair on the plate.
I will never go back.

You truly get what you pay for here, a meal with large portions, and entertainment while your food is prepared. The chef working the grill the evening we came did quite a few tricks and was friendly. Be prepared to catch a piece of fried egg in your mouth when the chef tosses it your way.
The portions were large enough that I was able to order a meal with an extra side and share it with my daughter and still feel stuffed at the end of the meal.
I had the scallops and shrimp, which also comes with options, I opted for the fried rice and vegetables. The scallops and shrimp were a fair size and tender, everything was well cooked and tasty.
The décor is very modern and stylish, I wish the stools by the grills had a higher back though.
If you haven’t experienced teppanyaki yet I highly recommend trying Yang’s, fun, filling and well worth the price.

hands down the best teppanyaki you can have in toronto! A-​MAZINGGGG. I’ve been here a bunch of times and every single time it is just superior. Their salad dressing is the best japanese salad dressing i have ever had in my life. I have considered asking them if I can buy it because I know they make it in house.
The veggies that come with the teppanyaki is not standard at all. You get a variety of green and red peppers, zucchini, onions, button and another type of mushroom.
My fav things to get here –Their beef ribs are actually to die for. The sauce it’s marinated in is spectacular! The black cod OMFG grilled to absolute perfection and melts in your mouth with buttery goodness. I always want more. Finally the filet mignon is SO good. Tender, always cooked just right and legit also melts in your mouth. You will NOT find a better teppanyaki place than this in the city, guaranteed.

I have eaten here a few times, and I have had a good experience every time. Their teppanyaki experience is fun, and the meat used is high quality. The chef knows how to put on a show to entertain and make us laugh. I actually don’t find the teppanyaki that expensive, because the combined value of the food plus entertainment is so high. The sushi and sashimi here is fresh. The sashimi is sliced thick; they don’t treat you cheaply here. I like the maki more than the nigiri. This is because the maki is so well made — the seaweed tastes lightly toasted, the rice is so thin, and the maki is securely rolled. The portion is big, too. The nigiri is good here as well. I wonder why the chef doesn’t put a bit of wasabi inside, only because this is the way I prefer it.
The service is polite, prompt and friendly. The interior décor is westernized and contemporary. One can easily mistaken the restaurant as a dessert lounge.
I seldom give expensive restaurants 5 stars, and it is expensive here. I do so for Yang’s because it reliably offers good food, good services and good experience every time I have visited. It is good for both group entertainment (teppanyaki) and intimate celebration (dining room). I feel comfortable taking visiting friends and family, or having birthday celebration here. I know people will have a good time.

I’ve never had any of their sushi here before, but I’ve had some of their lunch specials before. The black cod is really good.
Also, really like the décor here. It’s a good place to come after or before going to Wonderland or Vaughan Mills (sorry for all you Vaughan people, but I don’t know what else there is to do in your lovely city).
