By far the BEST sushi in Winnipeg. I have been to many places but this place. I could live there and just eat their sushi forever. Amazingly fresh and tasty. Service was second to none. Absolutely my GO TO from now on. Thank you
First time here and I loved it! The place looks great and is well-designed. The food is awesome and fresh. You have to try the Salmon Oshi. It's so good and unique – you can't get it anywhere else. The staff were super friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. It's also a perfect place for a birthday or any other special occasion. This is now one of my favorite restaurants in Winnipeg. Highly recommended!
Great sushi and cozy vibes My wife and I stopped by this sushi spot recently and were pleasantly surprised. The sushi was fresh, flavourful, and there was a solid variety to choose from — everything we tried was on point. One thing we really appreciated was the printed menu. In a world full of QR codes and phones at the table, it was nice to flip through a real menu without having to pull out a device. It made the whole experience feel more relaxed and personal. Service was friendly, the place was clean, and we left happy. Definitely worth a visit if you’re into good sushi and a chill atmosphere.
Enjoyed the sushi and then passion fruit tea drink. Service is a bit underwhelming. Not many people and we didn't really get greeted until a cook noticed us. Food was decent quality and the drink was good. There are defined better sushi places in the city but if you want to have a snack this place is pretty good.
Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The fish was melt-in-your-mouth fresh, and you could taste the quality and care in every bite. From the perfectly seasoned rice to the delicate balance of flavors in each roll, nothing felt rushed or generic. I’ve been to Japan, and I can confidently say this is the most authentic sushi I’ve had in Canada. The salmon sashimi was delicious and clean, and the nigiri was expertly prepared — not overly fussy, just traditional and done right. Even garnishes were fresh and thoughtfully made. And don’t skip dessert the deep-fried cheesecake was out of this world! Crispy on the outside, warm and creamy on the inside. A perfect sweet ending to a flawless meal. This place has officially ruined other sushi spots for me, I’ll only be coming here from now on. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates high-quality, genuine Japanese sushi.
