Gonoe Sushi - Markham

We made a reservation for party of 10 including 5 children under the age of 11 and as young as 5. It was quite busy with a line up almost out the door. The waitress staff were quick and efficient although the kitchen/sushi chefs could not keep up with demand. I got the bulgogi/tempura Bento box. The sashimi was good according to my sister-in-law. Good Japanese food for the price.

Good selection of both Korean and Japanese dishes. Including some Korean style Hwe if you know the difference. The rolls and sashimi were tasty. Not your super perfected sushi house, but very good ! So too was the tempura. Ourselves and two kids were about $60 for a super filling lunch with a beer.

The restaurant was busy on Monday night, so were the wait staffs - but still very polite and accommodating.We've had a medium size sashimi boat - added some extra hamachi, uni and ikura for just under $100 including tax and gratuity. All items were fresh and in very decent quality.

We went here for the live octopus. They also have sea cucumbers that look like interesting live creatures that are edible. The octopus was priced at $27 but four of us got to try it. The octopus was really entertaining to eat especially because it tries to hold on to the plate so if your chopstick skills are anything less than perfect the octopus will escape being eaten by you. We also got a sashimi boat which was great. We had a great experience here for dinner. With no reservations we had a waiting time of around 30 minutes on a Thursday night. Parking was ample but full when we arrived.

Both their Sushi and Sashimi are fresh and good. The three of us had their small combination boat plus the eel with rice and was enough for us three. If you are adventurous with your taste buds, you could try their exotic sea food combo that include life abalone, sea squirt, sea cucumber, gaebul (giant sea worm) and life baby octopus. Service is good and price mid-range.
