His favorite dish is the Aji tataki, which I have not tried, but plan to try next time! I was in town for a business trip as well and made it a point to go to Sushi Hiro because of the amazing things my friend said. I tried some sushi and their special mushroom soup. The next time I was in town for business, I brought my work crew and we sat at one of the big tables where you take your shoes off and sit into the ground. It was a very fun and unique experience and we had a lot of privacy at our table. We asked for our food to be selected for us and IT WAS AMAZING. Cannot go wrong with anything on the menu here. Hiro San, Takako and Yoshi from Phuket are so sweet and warm and welcoming. I can't wait to go back..

My friend recommend we come here during our lunch and the service was spectacular and the food was just as amazing! I highly recommend coming here for their lunch special which was only $21 for a cirachi don (very fresh fish and seasoned rice if you just add a bit more soy sauce) with miso soup and a salad that was so refreshing and well dressed and light. It also came with 2 giant rolls! I also got their kama salmon head and it was so good! They also offer omakase here I saw a sign but didn't have the chance to try so cannot speak on that yet but I will definitely be back

We did the tasting menu and the nigiri was not at all authentic as the rice was cold and not seasoned correctly. The fish itself was just ok for the price. We found the quality of food to be much better at RAW around the corner (where we went immediately after Nupo since we were still hungry after the pricey tasting menu). If you've had halfway decent sushi in any big city then definitely skip eating here as you'll be underwhelmed. For a sushi fix, head to RAW.

Menu has a variety of meal selections and sushi menu options. We ordered the salmon don bowl, zaru soba with shrimp tempura, chicken katsu and an assortment of sushi and an edamame appetizer. Our sushi arrived first, giving the kitchen time to prepare our meals. It was played beautifully and the taste was so fresh. We are salmon lovers and this salmon was perfect. The taste and texture was amazing. Zaru soba was flavorful and filling. Chicken katsu was a great option, fried nice and crispy, and this is one of the few places we've had the sesame seeds served with the katsu - very traditional! Overall an excellent meal and service.

Although it was already 25 mins to closing we were enthusiastically seated with no qualms. The server we had was so lovely. Friendly, engaging, humorous. She suggested a few customer favourites from the menu, like the octopus balls, and the beef carpaccio-type appetizer. Both outstanding. We ordered A LOT of food, and every bite was tastier than the last. The only rolls I didn't love were the zebra rolls, but this is likely because I was already stuffed full and they had a thicker cream cheese on top. Every ingredient was fresh and clean tasting, the outstanding and engaging service added to the warm experience. The bill was $100, but we ordered 2 large beers (10.50 each), 7 rolls ( 4.50-10.50), and four warm appetizers (6-12$) We had more than enough to eat and would definitely return. Thanks Daruma for the excellent experience.

There was no wait for our party of 4, but the restaurant was busy with lots of energy around 9pm. We were seated in a corner booth and had a nice view of the restaurant. There is also a small grocery area at the front, with Japanese favorites and some prepared foods to go. There was a nice selection of sushi, noodles, and meats, which we had some of each. I had a prime Rib and Angus skewers and both were excellent, but the magic sauce was the best on the angus. I had a bite of the tonkotsu ramen and the broth was bold, but not too heavy. Lastly, I had the bluefin tuna roll, which was a good size and so fresh, you could taste it. The blend of ingredients in this roll hit the spot. The service was great and we were in and out in under an hour.

In terms of food, I tried their Bluefin Tuna Roll, Creamy Scallop Roll, Chef's Choice Sashimi, Gyu Tan and Hotate Yakitoris. Overall, I'd give the food 8/10 - Bluefin Tuna Roll: 7.8/10: Real bluefin tuna, but overall reminds me of an avocado roll with bits of tuna, and not worth it - Creamy Scallop Roll: 7.5/10: Good flavour, but expected more like chop chop roll, especially given the price (else it's a California roll with scallop on top) - Chef's Choice Sashimi: 8.5/10: Good pieces of fresh sashimi - Gyu Tan Yakitori: 8.3/10: Good, slightly overpriced given the portion - Hotate Yakitori: 7.5/10: Nicely grilled but overpriced
