I’m surprised with the decent reviews of this place. The waiter was was nice and attentive, so that was about the only plus. We ordered one of their sushi boats to share and if you like fresh raw fish, I would advise against ordering it here. The fish did not taste fresh or look fresh. Usually a sushi boat should have a good presentation as well. Absolutely nothing to look at here, look very sloppy and plain. The rolls looked messy, and tasted just mushy even with the crispy bits in them. We came here another time for lunch and weren’t impressed. There are much better nearby places in London or Kitchener if you prefer non-ayce Japanese food.

Tries hard to be a serious sushi restaurant and also a fine-dining Japanese place with a wide range of styles and options(Udon, Teriyaki, Tempura, …). The result is attentive service, but slow, well-prepared main dishes, but not stellar. The prices seem a bit high to me here for the quality, but I would still recommend it for those who like Japanese food and aren’t as stingy as I. Just a few doors down from the Avon Theatre. If you are planning a pre-show meal, show up early and try to choose quickly. Once the crowd arrives it can get pretty slow.

If you’re looking solely to eat sushi, this is definitely your place. However, we ordered delivery, and our order did have several problems, mostly outside of the sushi. First, our order was about 20 minutes later than what they had estimated. Also, the hibachi steak was undoubtedly the toughest meat I have ever had in my life. Using my teeth and both hands, I was finally able to tear off a piece and chewing for several minutes to be able to swallow it, and once I accidentally slipped and threw it across the room. Definitely not for the faint of dentition. It’s just as well that they forgot to include a plastic knife as I’m sure it would have been pointless. The bright red«medium well» steak was also fairly under-seasoned. All of this being said, the man delivering the food was very nice, they included some pop and spring rolls for being late, and the sushi was actually quite good.

Absolutely delicious sushi, with a really wide range of options on the menu. Fish could not have been fresher and service could not have been better! Definitely up there with some of the best sushi I’ve tried. It’s easy to miss this place in favour of some of Stratford’s classier-looking joints, as this restaurant just looks like a take-out dive from outside, but it is well, well worth a visit. ps: Decent range of non-sushi items too.

Good place with good food and good service. They bring you hot tea immediately. This is fantastic, especially because it is freezing outside. Then After you order they bring miso soup and a salad. Both delicious. They have a nice variety of food even if you don’t want raw fish. Lots of hot meals as well. We had the yakitori appetizer which was one if the best I have ever had. Big pieces of chicken with a nice marinade. Then we had the sashimi platter of assorted fish. The fish was very fresh and flavorful. The service was great and personable. I would recommend this place.

I’ve been here a number of imes, a local favourite for us. Everything tastes fresh and the service is excellent. Even the sushi chef(owner?) says hello and goodbye when he can. Last time we were in the server dropped off a complimentary plate of edamames for my wife because I was taking so long to finish(due to my never ending ramblings) which was a nice touch. Feels like a family owned restaurant and that matters. It’s worth walking the extra block from the downtown core, check it out.

This place is a pleasant surprise in an expensive town. The prices are moderate, but the food and service are both very good. We got a combo plate with several different types of fish, and they were all very fresh. If you are looking for dinner near the Avon Theater, it’s worth walking just a few steps further and eating here.

Nice quality sushi and other dishes. Had a great meal and found the staff friendly and attentive. Food in Stratford during the summer festivals is expensive. The prices here seem just slightly below what I’d expect in the area for the quality.

A quiet, cute little sushi place in Stratford. I prefer it over most of the kw local sushi, and we drive to stratford sometimes for this treat. Their sashimi is generally excellent, and I’m also a fan of their Philadelphia and dragon maki rolls. Their edamame() is extremely addictive! The décor is very cute and Japanese-themed — it’s unfortunate that they do not have any booths. I also really enjoy their adorable phone etiquette :)
