    I love this place!

    This is woodbridge's finest sushi place! Their Koganie roll is out of this world. It realy deserves the 5 stars. Their pricing is great and on a friday or saturday it's ram jammed.

    I sometimes end up here twice a week.  The staff is friendly and they speak english.

    A must try if you like fresh sushi and if you have been to Japan and can compare.

    I have and it really is authentic.

    If I could give 6 stars I would.

    The food is sub par, for some bizarre reason they layer their sashimi in lemons, sushi pizza is burnt and inedible, most rolls have an overwhelming amount of rice, or are 2-3 bite pieces they are so large.

    They offer a delivery service that takes forever.  We've done both delivery and dine in.

    They claim "to do customer service better than anyone else" but they define customer service as arguing with you because they are right and the customer is wrong, there is no possible way they made and error "the chef said so"

    Wouldn't recommend!

    Sushi and Lunch Specials always been magnets for me.. my weakness!! I would walk in to most of the Japanese restaurants without giving it a second thought.. Of course the good reviews of Koganei on Yelp is another reason I am here for lunch!

    Sushi Lunch Specials ($11.95)
    - cabbage with mayo salad was a little disappointing, miso soup was lukewarm.. hmmm
    - nigri selection was really disappointing as well, I don't expect uni or toro..but tamago? fake crab?
    - The spicy salmon roll was pretty good...the 3 piece of California rolls was meh..

    Nice decoration. Just love those red lanterns lining up the whole restaurant. The big windows let a lot of the natural sunlight filtering through. Soft Japanese songs accompanying my meal. While I am daydreaming about another trip to Japan, I was awakening and brought back to reality by the waitresses and sushi chefs discussing their personal life loudly in Cantonese.. thanks so much for sharing!

    A perennial company Christmas party destination. Prices seem a mite higher but they seem to know what they're doing. Lots of selection you might not find at your little store front AYCE sushi joint along Bloor. You can get Sapporo and Asahi in can or bottle. They also carry Asahi dark. East Asia is sort of, after 30 years, moving away from pale lagers and joining the rest of the beer drinking world.

    Deadly good salmon sashi. Lots of different roll choices but I've never been a fan of the rolls (beyond the makki). Hand rolls I've never been a fan of either but I really liked the ones we ordered.

    What Nami is (or was) to downtown Toronto, Koganei is to Vaughan. Upscale as Vaughan allows. Some place you can bring a date or client and not feel like you're eating sushi in a cafeteria.

    It was okay, but far from the best I've had...
    Their namesake roll was okay, but a little too ricey.  Amount of sashimi for the price was good...  Their "spicy" [insert fish here] wasn't that spicy, although tasted okay and was neat with the added crunch.  Service was fine.  Overall price actually was good.
    The neat thing was their sake heater, they had an 18 L box of Takara sake (drive by the factory every time I go into Berkeley) connected to it...  I need to stop by the Takara next time and see if I can also get an 18 L box of sake...

    I love this place! The only issue with the this restaurant is that it's in Vaughan / Woodbridge. I found this restaurant a long time ago, when I used to work in the area, and must have eaten at Koganei at least a few times a week. The sushi is always fresh and the proportions are very good. My favorite dishes are Koganei roll, sushi pizza, and the grilled black cod. There is always a lot of parking and the staff is friendly and fast. Daniel the owner is a great guy, and every time I'm in the area I always stop in to eat here.

    OMG!!!! This place is so farrrrr off from good sushi it is not funny. I was so disappointed bc after reading the other reviews I was expecting decent sushi. Two things: they should list rice as an ingredient in their rolls bc all the rolls were bloated with rice mostly so you couldn't taste the food...just rice. Secondly, they started clearing the plates away while we were still eating. I couldn't believe it. Should you decide to go be prepared for mediocre sushi at best.
