"Absolutely amazing oysters! The platter was beautifully presented on ice, and every oyster was incredibly fresh, sweet, and briny in the best way. The texture was perfect — plump, clean, and super satisfying. The lemon and horseradish paired perfectly and really brought out the flavour. If you’re an oyster lover, you absolutely have to try this place. Fresh, delicious, beautifully presented, and the price is unbelievably good — only $1.50 each on Tuesday and Wednesday Highly recommended!"

"Great food and service. Our server was very attentive and made sure everything was good. We really enjoyed the hamachi crudo and inari bombs. They were the highlight of the night for us. They weren’t too busy for a Thursday night and the seating a spacious and comfortable. The only thing is if you are seated by the front, it can get chilly as there are kitchen staff who go to the side exit to smoke every so often and the cigarette smell kinda of flows in. That was kind of a bummer especially if you have kids or sensitive to smells but other than that everything was great."

"Had made reservations for dinner as I thought it would have been busy since on Tuesdays and Wednesdays they have a $1 oyster deal. But because the restaurant is so big, there wasn't a need to as we could have walked in. Service was great from the beginning! Was seated right away and water was also provided. Food arrived at a good pace and we were checked up on every so often. Food overall was also good - nothing was jaw-dropping, but we also did order pretty standard dishes. Aesthetically, dishes were presented well too. I had added a note on the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, but didn't think much of it. But after we paid the bill, they came out with a slice of cheesecake for the birthday person, so that was a great gesture."

"Beautiful (huge) space. We went at lunch time so it was pretty empty. But at night i can see it being filled up. Food was delicious with a good variety, and lots of lunch specials. The red dragon rolls had a bit too much sweet sauce (would’ve been nice to have it on the side). But otherwise I’m happy with everything we ordered: miso soup, sushi, chicken and pork belly skewers, Brussels sprouts. All very flavourful. Service was good. Not much more to say."

"Visited early Saturday evening and there was plenty of seating available. I sat at the bar as I wanted to have a look and check the availability of sake. The barstaff were friendly and efficient. I noticed a good selection of sake of varying price levels, there was an inexpensive house sake and happy hour offers. Strangely, the house sake was served in a glass even when heated. This was fine and apparently, their ceramic cups are often damaged so they have to get more. The prices were reasonable. Some other patrons were having food and it was visually attractive and on a casual enquiry the food was good. The facilities are well maintained and the washroom clean."

"Great variety of food and efficient service, prices are pretty decent too. Loved the sliders and all seafood dishes"

"Absolutely delicious meal! The maki and all the dishes were so fresh and flavorful. What really stood out was the service from Hanson. He was so friendly and helpful, ensuring we had a perfect dining experience. Truly exceptional service and food. Don't miss this place!"

"A nice relaxing atmosphere We ordered a couple of don rice bowls for a quick snack. We got the kaisendon and the uni scallop don. Usually i complain that raw fish has a "fishy" aftertaste which j fjnd unpleasent. But The fish here was absolutely delicious. The wasn't any bitterness at all. Top marks for the fish. I removed a point because the rice was a bit too hard for my liking. It felt like the rice had been refrigerated and did not have a nice soft texture. Either way, it was an great dining experience."
