Très bonne adresse pour manger des sushis frais dans un cadre typique. Le combo soupe/tempura/salade, plat principal & dessert est vraiment parfait. Les sushis sont délicats & très frais. Tout était délicieux. La serveuse est aussi d'une grande gentillesse.

Nice atmosphere & a comfortable dining environment. The food was decent but fairly average. A few sushi rolls arrived already falling apart, & the salad in the set menu had quite a lot of dressing.

Service during the meal was friendly, though the food took a bit longer than expected. When we mentioned our feedback at checkout, there was no acknowledgment or apology, which was a little disappointing. Overall, a pleasant place, but there is room for improvement.

Quaint Japanese restaurant about 350m from the Bell Centre. It's located on the 2nd floor at the intersection of Stanley & Cypress so there are some stairs to climb. It's right next to the Italian restaurant & the signage isn't as obvious so you might miss it. Had the Bento du jour, which was quite generous in its servings. The fried tofu was pretty good, & the teriyaki salmon was a good serving served on a bed of rice. It came with 3 pieces of sushi & 4 California rolls that were very good. I enjoyed the small spring roll it came with as it was a different flavour to the fish pieces. The tempura was nice & light & the skewer of teriyaki chicken was very flavourful. Not shown in the picture but also included was a bowl of miso soup, salad & a dessert that included a scoop of green tea ice cream & a cup of hot green tea. Pretty good value bento box! Super friendly older lady was serving everyone & I was surprised they weren't busier. I wasn't sure how big the bento box would be so ordered a spicy salmon roll & 2 pieces of spicy tuna, both were great!

Traditional & authentic Japanese restaurant.

I've ordered the evening sushi sashimi set dinner. The food & service were both very good.

However, on the menu it says 6 pieces of sashimi, but it was actually 3 pieces but cut in half to make 6. Very dishonest & insincere business owners... Very unfortunate.

Loved every single thing I ate there from the tasty miso soup to the incredible sushis. You can feel the thoughtfulness & quality in every single dish. The portion sizing was perfect for me. I took the combo of sushi makis & I found that the price was very reasonable for what I was getting which was quality & tasty food that didn't leave you feeling heavy or lethargic afterwards. Waiting time for our food didn't take long & as one dish was done, the other dish was coming in so I'd say the service was super smooth & it definitely helped with the overall pleasant restaurant experience. I'd definitely come back here, super happy to have found this gem of a place!

The interior of this restaurant has a retro Japan feel with decor & music to bring that ambiance. The service was friendly & efficient. There are vegetarian sushi & Bento options. The Bento boxes were presented beautifully & there were some uncommon items like lettuce leaf in my sushi roll & cucumber & potato tempura. The veg Bento was about $30, which was quite a higher price for the quality of the food, but in this case I guess the price is to reflect the experience of the atmosphere. Overall, the experience was okay.
