Some of the freshest, melt in your mouth sashimi I've ever enjoyed. We ordered sparkling sake & the prix fixe for two that came with salad, rice, gyoza, sashimi, tofu stew, kimchi, & grilled mackerel. Charming, warm ambiance & excellent service. Highly, highly recommend this place!

We ordered take out through Ubereats, it was ready quickly. Food looks good & tastes good. We would appreciate more soy sauce tho.

Amazing sushi & sashimi. Everything tasted so fresh. But quite pricey. The rolls are very thin.

La musique était un peu forte pour nous, cependant le restaurant a un bon rapport qualité-prix avec de belles options végétariennes.

We have friends with a knack of finding the most intimate restaurants in the neighborhood. If you like Japonese food this one is terrific. Delicious sushi & other dishes & a very impressive saki list.

The food was fresh, savoury & tasty. Portions were enough. I liked that the vibe is cozy & authentic. Priced reasonably. Loved the service & attention to my dietary restrictions.

We had a fantastic time at Karin tonight. We went because of a Reddit recommendation & we were not disappointed. The staff was very kind & attentive, we forgot to ask her name but she was wonderful (thank you for everything!). The food was delicious. A surprise favorite was the dressing on the side salad, & the house-made bibimbap sauce was superb. We will definitely be coming back!

Amazing & authentic Japanese food experience! Great service & homey comfortable feel the place. I highly recommend the gyoza which felt fresh & are the best I have had in a long time, the yaki-udon was delicious & a very generous portion, the matcha cheesecake was a rich & tasty way to end this meal. I would recommend making a reservation as it was pretty busy & we happened to get an empty table just in time. Will be coming back! (There was also a decent vegetarian section in the menu for those who prefer the option)
