I don’t care about the view — I care about the food
Wagyu Suki positions itself as a premium Japanese all-you-can-eat restaurant in Markham, focusing on high-end cuts of meat, seafood, and sushi. The expectation going in is clear: this isn’t your typical AYCE sushi spot. The branding leans heavily on “wagyu,” premium beef, foie gras, uni, lobster, and other luxury ingredients that typically command higher prices when ordered à la carte.
Tak Fu Dim Sum Emperor is a casual dim sum restaurant located in Scarborough with one major practical advantage: plenty of parking. The restaurant sits in a plaza with a large shared parking lot, making it easy to access without worrying about street parking or tight downtown spaces.
Susu Siam Thai Kitchen is a very pleasant surprise in Scarborough. From the moment you walk in, it feels more elevated than the typical casual Thai restaurant. The space has a low-light ambiance, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere that works well for both date nights and small group dinners. It’s refined without being intimidating.
Marathon Souvlaki is a Greek restaurant located in Montreal, in an area that’s easy to reach and very convenient if you’re driving. One of the immediate positives is the large parking lot, which makes parking completely stress-free — something that’s not always easy to find in Montreal.
Aji No Tokeidai is a ramen restaurant located in central Sapporo, tucked away in the basement level of an office building near Odori. It’s the kind of place you might easily miss if you weren’t looking for it, but once inside, it feels exactly like the sort of ramen shop you’d expect to find in a city known for its ramen culture.
Kineya is a Japanese noodle restaurant located inside APIA Shopping Mall, directly connected to Sapporo Station. Its location makes it extremely convenient, whether you’re arriving by train, transferring lines, or simply exploring the underground shopping network that connects much of central Sapporo.
Shogun Burger is a modern burger restaurant located in Susukino, one of Sapporo’s busiest nightlife and dining districts. It’s positioned as a quality-first burger spot, emphasizing premium ingredients, careful preparation, and a more refined approach than fast food or casual chains. This is not a grab-and-go burger joint. It’s clearly aiming for something closer to a craft burger experience.
Maruki is a traditional soba restaurant located in central Sapporo, tucked into the ground floor of a modest building just off one of the city’s busy shopping and dining streets. From the outside, it doesn’t try to stand out. There’s no flashy signage, no modern design elements, and nothing that signals trendiness. Instead, it feels like a place that has existed quietly for years, serving customers who already know what they’re there for.
Nemeru Hanamaru is a very popular conveyor-belt sushi restaurant located inside Cocono Susukino, and popularity is the first thing you’ll notice. When we arrived, there was already a long lineup, and it ultimately took about 30 to 45 minutes to get in. That said, the waiting system here is handled exceptionally well.
Teppan Spaghetti is a small pasta-focused restaurant located inside the Cocono Susukino food court in central Sapporo. Unlike full-service restaurants elsewhere in the building, this spot operates firmly in food court mode: compact menu, quick service, and an emphasis on hot, freshly prepared dishes rather than presentation or atmosphere.
