Gal Sushi

Gal Sushi
Address: 3621 Hwy 7 East Unit 106, Markham (Hwy 7 & Warden)
Phone: (905) 305-7753
Opening Hours: 8:30am - 11pm (7 days a week)

it's in the new plaza opening on Hwy 7 & Warden, where lots of salons in the plaza.. (we had our hair cut in one of the salons there too!)
the 3 of us went there on a Saturday night, which was very crowded.. glad that we already made reservation & that's why we don't need to wait.. dunno if this restaurant is a franchise of the one at 黃金商場.. but it seems like they are operated by Koreans, as they served Korean food on the menu..

it's setup on each table.. they used silver chopsticks.. which is different from most of the other japanese restaurant..


as starter, we were served with soup & salad, & some korean appeitizers, which were some potatoes & Korean Cold Vermicelli (涼拌韓國粉絲)
we decided to try their Dol-sot Bi Bim Bap (石鍋拌飯), the traditional Korean Stone Rice.. i used to have it for my Friday lunch when i still worked in Hong Kong.. really missed it! i love mixing all the ingredients together with the sauce.. tasted very good!!
we also had a sushi/sashimi combo, called GAL Combi.. it has 14 pcs of Assorted Sashimi, 12 pcs of Sushi (Uni, Hamachi, Toro, Unagi, Salmon, Tobiko), & 6 pcs of Dynamite Roll.. what i think special is, there were many different varieties in this combo.. not only Salmon, Tuna, it also came with White Tuna (Butter Fish), Ama Ebi (Sweet Shrimp), & Masago (Smelt Roe).. & Toro sushi, Hamachi sushi & Uni sushi!! it costed $33.99.. i think it's a really good deal..


we also had the sushi pizza.. just to fill up the space in the guys' stomach..




overall, it's good.. LG said it's not as special as he thought.. (he becomes very picky these days.. )

there is a "button" on each table, where customers can press it to ask for service.. & when it was pressed, its table # will be shown on the mini board above the cashier.. (see the picture below, the place where i placed a red arrow pointing at)

I actually tried on it's opening day but it's not as good as the Gal in Richmond Hill. They even missed the tobiko sushi for my boat. i forgot which one i ordered but they missed it. if you notice , they hv the Gal, Chan and Sil boats which are actually more expensive the the one in Richmond Hill.

Food quality-wise i think i like the one in Richmond Hill more. I didn't try the Korean food at there so I can't comment.

in your pic the tobiko sushi was missing too. if you go to here http://www.galsushi.com/inc.php?inc=best you can see tobiko sushi in the pix and description. not sure if you guys ate it before taking the pix though

really? i was wondering if this is a franchise of the one in RH.. i've been to the GAL in RH yrs ago but couldn't remember anything.. =P

re the tobiko sushi.. hmm.. i guess we have another sushi instead.. that one on the far right top corner.. it's something with crabmeat..

thx for your suggestion.. i'll definitely try the GAL in RH again!

i also forgot to mention that they missed my Gal combi order also.. i guess that's because they just opened.. but my another friend tried in the same week and didn't like it either.. funny thing is the chef (not sure if he's the boss) at the one in Alton Towers is now in Gal.. not sure how they're related..

overall i do like the RH GAL because it has better price v.s. quality.. the mingpao or singtoa magazine did mention the new GAL is the boss of the old GAL. He sold the RH GAL to someone else. in summary they're different boss but using the same name.

you should try their black sesame ice cream. (altho pricey) it's tasty and unique and I haven't seen it at any other markham/rh jap restaurants yet.

BM said...

sean_w5, do u mean the black sesame ice-cream in Gal? thx!

sorry i wasn't very clear, this is the Gal Sushi in Markham (beside Hilton hotel). after you eat the black sesame ice cream, your teeth turn kind of grey temporarily, which i thought was funny.
i like their jap dishes. i always order L4 for lunch ($7.99), but the sashimi has gotten slightly smaller. i can't comment on their korean dishes because I haven't really tried them.
