Sushi Asian Grill

Review Summary

Miaki Sushi generally offers good value when orders aren’t reduced to protect profit, with the General Tao noted as excellent and most of the food described as solid. Peanut butter dumplings are less appealing and could be made tastier with crushed chili flakes. Service ranges from very fast to slow, especially on Sundays, and there are reports of items arriving late or still being served after payment. The ambiance is calm and the dishes are delicious and filling, though some diners felt a longer pause between sushi pieces was a bit disappointing. Quality appears variable since the pandemic, with some dishes like the Cantonese and the General Tao sometimes too lemony and portions seeming smaller, but the all you can eat sushi with friendly servers remains a frequent plus. Overall, Miaki Sushi is a place that many still praise for tasty, hot food and useful value, with the recommendation that a big appetite helps to enjoy it fully.View restaurant profile

Reviewers consistently mention excellent or very good service, warm staff, and dishes that range from crowd favorites like creative poutines and tartares to dumplings and halloumi fries, with a chocolate fondant sharing a perfect note for two. The atmosphere is praised as welcoming and stylish, with a terrace in sunshine and music that stays at an inviting level, making it a good choice for gatherings with friends or even an after-work bite. Some feedback points out that certain sauces can be too strong or leave an odd aftertaste, portions can be large for sharing yet pricey for solo diners, and the venue can be a bit loud or the service slow on busy nights. People still say the overall experience is worth it and that they would return, noting the reliable service, the local-sourcing vibe in the menu, and the chance to enjoy a few laughs during midweek events.View restaurant profile

Rôtisserie De Joliette Inc

Joliette

Rotisserie

Review Summary

Rôtisserie De Joliette Inc draws mixed feelings in its reviews, with references to very good chicken and flavorful hot poutine when orders are correct, but persistent issues undermine the experience. After a recent change, sauces and chicken are not always included in poutine by default and attempts to fix orders still lead to omissions or incorrect toppings. Frequent problems include missing items, cold fries, dry sides, club sandwiches with burned bread and almost no chicken, or meals assembled incorrectly. Some visits are described as perfectly satisfactory, but those moments are outnumbered by repeated errors over time, causing frustration and disappointment for customers who recall the quality of the past. Service is often described as friendly and professional, though some interactions are noted as flat or unenthusiastic. Price and value concerns surface too, with calls for lower poutine prices. Overall, the sentiment reflects a tension between appreciating the chicken when the order is right and enduring ongoing inconsistencies that prompt consideration of alternatives unless improvements are made.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

La Shop à Poutine receives mixed reviews with strong flavors and many poutine options and a tasty mac and cheese, but hours are often limited for dinner and delivery delays occur when the place seems closed.

Some customers find value and portion size lacking, with extra cheese being pricey and sauce overpowering, fries not fully crisp, and chicken pieces few.
