Tenon Vegetarian Cuisine

This place has been here for over 20 years so I figured it's gotta be good to be able to survive for so long. NOTE: if diabetic, don't go here. Very starchy, lots of sugar. This sushi place is run by mainland Chinese. Nothing wrong with that: very few Japanese sushi chefs would actually open a place like this lol. Y'all, it was only 18 degrees today, cloudy, and very windy, but the inside was stuffy and hot. When I read reviews here that said it was "cozy", I expected comfortable, not stuffy and unventilated. Also, the spout on the teapot and the INSIDE of the miso soup bowl were BROKEN and chipped! It is IMPOSSIBLE to clean jagged pieces and rid it of all the bacteria. Gross! Know what's also gross? The tables were sticky. Food was meh. Max 3*, average 2*. The most delicious thing was the circular ham looking thing, and second is specifically the salmon sashimi. Other things were meh.. The ebi sushi was kinda mushy and didn't look like a shrimp shape lol. Taste was rather bland except for the salmon. Barely any service. We had to hunt down the server to get our order taken, and after she brought out the dishes, she never came back. We also had to hunt her down by leaving our seating area to get the bill. My biggest gripe is considering that this is a veg place, why is the sashimi and sushi "meat" cut so thin and small? And worse, at the SAME price as real sushi (with real fish) at legit Japanese restaurants? The sashimi size here was less than what I'd get on a sushi roll at like... Miki. Disappointed for sure. Not sure what everyone's raving about.

King oyster roll is a must try Came on a busy Saturday dinner, the place was packed and everyone seat a bit close to each other. However, the good side was we didn’t wait and they served everything fast. Staffs are friendly Weekdays or non busy hours might be better for you if you prefer to dine in with fewer people around you. (They offer 10% cash take out orders)

Great all vegetarian spot in Markham. The Thai fish was my favorite dish, the mock duck in noodle soup was slightly on the disappointing side and the sushi & sashimi bento was delicious. If the noodle soup had a little more seasoning and maybe some greens I would say this was a 5. The atmosphere is very cozy and so was the decor. Will definitely return and try other dishes, and maybe adjust my rating if the dishes I try are as good as the thai fish and sashimi.
