Love the vibes, very casual, and the server was really friendly too. She was super enthusiastic when our group requested sake bombs. This was my first time going to an AYCE izakaya, and it made me wish there was one where I live. The highlight was definitely the beef teriyaki - comes out sizzling hot. The chicken teriyaki felt sad in comparison lol. Sushi was pretty good quality as well. Melona bars to top off the night! Would come back here always if I was in the area.

Let me state up front that the food is great. It's fresh and there's a good selection…read more My reason for giving 3 stars is the choice of seating and the service. We went as a group of 7 with a reservation. For some reason, instead of seating a larger group at the stand alone (but combinable tables) at the front of the restaurant, they decided to sit us at a booth that holds six with the +1 in a chair in the pathway to the bathroom. Ordering food is done on 2 pieces of paper - one for sushi and one for all the other food. Unlike many other AYCE restaurants, there is no description of the food and there's no iPad to see a photo of what you might be ordering. It makes it very difficult to select, and the waiters are really not around to ask questions. They wanted all 7 of us to use the single paper. I explained to the waiter that I wasn't at a restaurant to do math and add up all the pieces and orders and go person by person. Could we possibly get a second set of papers so we could split the table into 2 groups? Yes, but with great difficulty. The food started to come. Overall, very fast from paper to food. So, where did they put the food? Right in front of me as one if the people sitting at the end. They would place plate after plate in front of me. Often with no explanation of what food it was. Apparently, it is the person at the end of the table's job to announce the food and identify the person(s) who it belongs to. So, with the number of dishes ordered, there was little opportunity for me to eat. There was also no place for me to place my food on the table in front of me. It was beyond frustrating. Along the way, they began forgetting to deliver food that was ordered and they began delivering food we did not order. I believe the restaurant should have placed us at the tables at the front of the restaurant. All large groups would benefit front this and all would be able to enjoy the food.

On account of some personal food allergies, I substitute the noodles for rice on the side and they are very good about accommodating me, thank you. In addition to the traditional animal based broths, I have also had the vegetarian broth which has a milky appearance and a mushroom flavour in which has a nice assortment of veggies. Will definitely have that again. You'll find on the middle page bottom of the menu, a level 3 hotness (12 chilies) dish. That is not for the faint of heart. Perhaps work your way up to that, definitely try 2 before 3. At peak times, be prepared to write your name on a sheet and wait until some seats open up.

I was torn between giving this place a three or a four, but I decided on four stars because of the extra aspects that were nice, ie. care for the restrooms, table sizes, and the rice was always warm! I would definitely say Joy Sushi Bar is a good place to eat if you're in the neighbourhood and craving a huge sushi dinner with amazing flavours.

Good experience overall. My son & I stumbled upon this place while driving around looking for…read moresomewhere to eat with decent ratings (I would give it a mid four... 4.5 to be exact... we need some intermediate marking options Yelp!). Here's why: PROS: Location - off a main road, easy to find, parking is free Menu options - Good selection of items Taste & Presentation of food - Very good... food was tasty (with the exception of the Pad Thai in my opinion) and the seafood was fresh. Portions were good too. Service - Very attentive, quick and professional staff; conversation toward the end made them even better! Value - Price for all you can eat was very reasonable, worth it if you ask me! CONS: Ambiance - Floor was slippery (literally the entire floor surface, as though it had buildup of substance, it was odd.). Also the seating and general look of the place is quite old & outdated. IN SUMMARY: Overall ambiance is a factor in deciding on a restaurant, but is more important to me for a special occasion or on date night. When I dine out, taste, service and value are what mean the most to me. As for this restaurant, I would for sure go back! It's a great little local spot. As I upload the pics I'm also getting hungry again and that's always a good sign!!!

*4.5* stars This…read morerestaurant has a very unique taste and dishes that aren't really seen anywhere else in the KW region (not that I'm aware of at least!) I saw it on Ubereats and saw there was a BOGO going on so I ordered it. I was pleasantly surprised at the complexity and variety of dishes they had! If you crave Asian food, I definitely recommend this place. This place seems to primarily be for hotpot, but I can understand with covid it's harder to see that side right now. Nonetheless, they have many options outside their hotpot as well. I got the seafood with vermecilli noodles for my partner and a Mala spice with fish noodles for myself. The beef pho was a BOGO option so I got them for tomorrow's meal. (the BOGO list was quite limited). They were delicious and I found the portion sizing to be quite nice! The soup was very very flavorful and hits the spot. Again something that I haven't found in the KW area at all until now and would crave (since it can be found commonly back home in Toronto) Packaging, wait time and everything was fine. Why it's not a perfect score is because of its price point. It's a lot pricier than some other places. Their primary feature is hotpot and noodles. The hotpot options seemed fairly nice but there's also a few other hotpot places just around the corner too. With the noodles, you can get the same large portion (but different noodle type, same richness in broth though) for half the price that they set it at here. I personally see this place as somewhere I'd get ever so often, or special occasions only. For student prices, I'd probably look to go elsewhere. However, you can't deny how good their broth is, so it's not a big enough deal to knock off a star completely.

They only have four counter seats and mainly offer takeout food. They have sushi, torched sushi and hot food options such as terriyaki don and ramen. Overall the food was okay but nothing too special. I preferred their raw food here compared to the hot food. The Alaska salmon roll was not bad, but the chicken terriyaki was mediocre. Chicken was dry and flavourless.

Hanma offers a perfect variety of Japanese cuisine, at prices that should make other local restaurants think twice about charging what they do. The space is inviting, minimalist, and warm. The selection of frozen items is ideal for any culinary fan, especially Japanese cuisine. There is a good amount of in-house seating, and on a sunny winter's day, sitting along the windows with a hot bowl of Hanma ramen should be on your 2023 bucket list. With lovely options, you'll be satisfied no matter what. I chose the spicy ramen. As a pacific-northwester, I know that I can be picky about Japanese/Ramen thanks to the amazing restaurants that we have. However, Hanma's ramen is the absolute best that I have ever had. I am blown away by their broth, perfect noodle texture, soul-filling meats, and gorgeous flavours and vegetables. The presentation was stunning, and they deserve so much praise. I wouldn't be surprised if Hanma soon has lines out the door quite often. If you're local or spending time exploring the area/hiking, definitely make Hanma a stop on your weekly takeaway experience. It would be fantastic if Taka and Yoshi offer ramen making classes at some point. Personally, I would pay a pretty penny to join them. Thank you SO much!

The vibe of the restaurant is small and cozy, which makes it feel really warm and inviting, but it does get busy (a sign of how good the food is).
