I've been ordering here for years.
Really great food and owners.
Miso soup is always tasty.
Everything is prepared with love and quality and speed

I’ve never met restaurant owners who are so entitled and are bullies until I came here.

I live close to this restaurant. I have ordered from them before and was overall satisfied with their food. It’s not the greatest sushi place but it isn’t so bad in taste either.

I may get a lot of negative comments for this one but I have my reasons. When I dine out, 100%, I always tip for as long as I’ve been dining out my whole life. Today, I couldn’t leave a tip because to be honest, I’ve been struggling financially and at this point with a baby, every dollar counts. I’m not one to be stingy but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Tipping is definitely not an obligation but it is understood that it is a cultural expectation & is a courtesy. Hence, because it is a cultural expectation, I’ve noticed many places have acted to becoming entitled to it. The service here wasn’t amazing, I didn’t feel welcomed when I walked in but the average service was there and the server did her part.

When I decided to not tip, the lady dropped her jaw in shock and asked “No tip? ! ” I told her “no, not today. Im sorry” I was wanting to come back another day and give them a really nice tip when I am able to.
As I walked out the restaurant with no hesitation the lady, in a loud and condescending tone said “oh my god! ” While glaring at me. I felt bullied and judged by the way she made those expressions. She really tried to make me feel guilty. Talk about gaslighting.

Because of this reaction I received from her, I’m not coming back to this restaurant.

You could try to be understanding of people & try to see why they cannot tip.yes, tipping is a standard in Canada but IT IS NOT A CRIME NOR CAN YOU FORCE SOMEONE TO tip after they’ve contributed to supporting and enjoying your business.

Again, I love to tip because I used to work in a restaurant but never have I ever expected or demanded my customers to tip me nor have I made them feel bullied or was condescending towards them. Some people cannot afford to tip but would love to enjoy some food they can’t have access to at home.

I hope the owner learns how to communicate to people & be kind. Based on some reviews here, it seems to be a pattern that the way they speak to customers is unprofessional and rude.

Do better.

I ordered take out with skipthedish. Order came within the estimated time and was packaged nicely. I got the ebi sunomono, roll combo, and salmon sashimi.
Loved the rolls and sashimi; the sunomono could use more noodles (portion wise)

10/10 fav sushi spot been going here for years would recommend for take out and dine-in for small groups

Lovely place with nice staff and reasonable prices. Very good taste. However, sometimes with dine in, there can be really annoying and loud people so I would recommend the take out or quick meal but not if you are looking for a relaxing experience.

Judging by their website, nice pictures, and surprisingly good reviews, I was sure we found a great hit. Unfortunately I can swear that they gave us old food. Starting with the tempura was so dry and old, I believe cooked twice. Along with dry smelly chicken teriyaki, warm sushi rolls, and even their sunomo taste terrible. The miso soup was good and customer service was ok too. Too bad, they decided to give new customers reheated old food.

This is the worst sushi I have ever had in a very long time. The spicy salmon roll was definitely not fresh, and did not taste great. The sesame seeds didn’t taste good either. The spicy mayo sauce on the sushi was garbage. The miso soup was awful. People that are giving this restaurant good reviews have definitely not had food anywhere good. I literally have to throw all of the food out and order something from somewhere else. What a waste of money.

Portion and price is reasonable for a bento box. Sunomono wasn't very good, noodle was too hard. Special rolls were tasty, but a bit overpriced.

The sushi was delicious. And the presentation was awesome! 10/10 definitely my new sushi place.

Quaint and calm. The staff was lovely and kind. The menu is large and there is a variety of flavours. Some of the special rolls are out of the box and delightful. I would recommend this place to anybody.

We went there today only because the other 2 restaurants we go to were closed (Yoko sushi and Nagoya) Customer across from us ordered Toro but something else was brought out on his plate. He asked for salmon toro instead.
After he left, the lady who works there gave the uneaten toro to the chef who wrapped it back up to use for the next customer. We will definately not be going back!
Who knows what else they do when they think no one is watching! GROSS!

We've been here for the second time and the server is really friendly. My husband and I is a huge fan of sushi, and once we love the place and food, we'll surely keep coming back.

Price is very reasonable.
Food is fresh and yummy.

The restaurant is pretty small and clean, but I don't care as long as the food is really good and fresh!

They made me 59 cent packaged noodles for 7.99 And called it Rahman.
Could''ve went home for lunch instead.

Service wasn’t very good. Had to keep asking for tea refills. I believe the place is overpriced. The food was ok but not definitely not worth the price I paid!
25 April 2019 6:12
They are par at best, sushi is mediocre, the service is mediocre, the old staff (rokko) was much much better and much kinder! An unimpressive showing.

I found out that new chef has over 20 years expreicne sashimi was really fresh. This place will be my regular dine out place for sure.

Second time coming here for sushi. Came in and had a late night craving for salmon sashimi. New owners. Presentation for takeout order is good. Was hoping the 8 piece salmon sashimi was a bit bigger for the price. ($13 and some change). If you're looking to just get sashimi. There's a place across the street called Il UK Jo. Besides that I haven't tried the sushi but I bet it's good. Will try next time and update review for this restaurant!

Small but quaint, warm atmosphere, the couple that run this place are very nice and they make some great Sushi and yes they have Saki and Beer

We used to get great service but seems to be new owners and slow service. More concerned with take out orders instead of dine in one's

My experience was good I received two advocado salmon rolls and they were very amazing with good tasting sesame seeds
22 December 2018 18:48
Service was fast but food was just ok. Nothing amazing. Was ok to subside my hunger untill I got home but would not go out of my way to eat here.

Great service. Food quality is sub-par. Had several rolls and the rice was mushy and bland. Tempura and teriyaki was decent, nothing special.
