Taro's Fish

Very disappointing. When I tried to pre-order two holiday trays online, their system would only allow me to enter one order of their Holiday Tray. I put into the notes that I wanted two. After I placed my order, I immediately called them to explain my dilemma. I specifically said I was wondering if there was a limit to orders. The lady I spoke to said ‘no’ and that I could order three if I wanted to. Today I arrived to pick up my order. Firstly, the cashier was having difficulty finding my order in their system. The manager said she found it but could only give me one tray due to limited quantities. (As mentioned, when I called, I was told this would not be an issue.) However, I was told I can buy other fish to be sliced. (No discount or any other compensation.) I received apologies but only from the two cashiers. The manager kept walking away but I’m sure she was just busy. If you celebrate Oshougatsu as my family does, you can appreciate the dissatisfaction and disturbance to a special day for us. I should also mention that one year, I did order three trays and they only had two ready for me. They looked up their system and saw that I had ordered three so they made up another one for me but I had to wait 45 minutes. Once again, a very disappointing experience. Their fish quality is quite good but you may wish to go elsewhere if you value quality of service and are counting on them for a special occasion.

This place has fantastic quality ingredients that simply just cant be beat. The Toro, Salmon, and other things they have are top notch. You can also see the amazing skill the chefs have. The service was also nice!

I believe the management has changed. Horrible service. Due to traffic (Taylor Swift days) I entered the Shop 6.59 I was picking salmon an Asian girl came to ask me to be quick they would not slice the salmon in a quite menacing tone. I have been a long-term regular client for more than 5 years. The service and the staff's cheerful reaction when service was denied was nothing less than pitiful.

Best place to buy sushi grade sashimi! I really like how you can pick your own piece of fish and have it sliced or made into sushi for you. Lots of fresh options but do come early cause some options do sell out fast. You can also purchase other frozen seafoods or Japanese items at the store. Service is also amazing as well!

🐟Taros fish is perfect for real sushi lovers. You can choose from a wide, fresh variety of fish and shellfish you can use to create your own unique sushi and sashimi platters! Torched Salmon, Squid, scallops you name it. They offer a great ‘cut for you’ service. They also sell a ton of other Japanese cooking products and side dishes to pair perfectly with your meals. The pickled scallions, tako-wasabi, seaweed salad and even Japanese Milk Bread can all be found here! Not only that but they also sell a bunch of frozen fish, Miso Marinated Frozen Cod that measures up to any fancy restaurant for a half of the price. 🍣 10/10 couldn’t recommend this place more!!! 🐟🍣🐟🍣

Amazing place for fresh sashimi takeout! A large variety of cuts, with the option for having it sliced and/or with rice. They also sell sushi/sashimi rolls/sets/trays to go. It’s not cheap, but seems comparable to sushi restaurants and arguably has better quality than most places. It’s usually quite busy, but service is fast!

I finally went to visit Taro and his fish. I went on a week day with my S.O. during lunch time and it was popping. I was immediately drawn to the wall of fridges which offered a variety of fresh seafood selection. We wanted to try them all, but our wallet did not allow us. We ended up picking chu-toro SS (medium fatty tuna), o-toro SS (fatty tuna), organic salmon, scallop, and hamachi (yellowtail). We asked the sushi chef to slice it up real good. While we waited for them to prepare the sashimi, we browsed the frozen food selection. Some items that caught my eye included the teriyaki salmon head and the prepackaged spicy ramen. After the fish was ready to go, we also grabbed two packs of cooked sushi rice for $3 each. The total was around $155. The amount of food fed my S.O and I for two meals each. We ended up doing a "home-akase" (omakase at home) and made our own handrolls. We got the nori at a local grocery store, but Taro also carries this. The quality of the fish was on par with omakase in Toronto. A fun date idea for half the price of going out.

Product/Service: 5/5 Amazing quality sushi and sashimi. If only I lived closer then this would be my go-to Japanese take out spot. Service is great, and although we had to wait, it was well worth it. Top notch. Location: 4/5 Better for driving. Parking was okay when we got there but I could see that it probably gets full sometimes. Price: 5/5 Reasonable prices for fresh sushi. Atmosphere: 4/5 Clean supermarket style. Definitely a great concept.
