    Torched sushis, salmon roses, sashimi, garlic shrimp, teriyaki salmon
    Agunik M.

    We love going to Cherry Blossom as a family of 4. Although it is a little more on the expensive side, the variety of sashimi & sushi at any time of day is worth it. Personally, I am a huge fan of classic sushi's and prefer a wonderful sashimi meal. The seafood is fresh and the cooked food (such as rice dishes, beef & chicken skewers) are hot and well prepared. I love the ambience and service is both friendly and prompt. We have come here many times and continue to come for the stellar all you can eat experience and service. Although we come as a family, we have noted many dates taking place, both romantic and friendly

    At $22 for AYCE lunch, this place is not worth it at all. The biggest red flag is that the service is just bad. The owner is rude, and I used to frequent at their other location (W sushi). She has always been rude, and it makes me extremely uncomfortable every time she is there. When Cherry Blossom first opened, the servers were very attentive and kind. Maybe in the last year and a half or so, the servers seem to have gotten extremely rude and hasty. And don't even get me started on the food. The tempura is always greasy. Portions are small, especially for $22 (lunch) and $32 (dinner). Anything in the form of sushi that is supposed to have fish in it always has the smallest amount of fish. It is unfortunate that this is the only sushi place in the south end of Guelph. People have no option but to go to one of their locations and spend that kind of $$ when they feel like having sushi. I long for the day another sushi place opens in the south end, with better quality, prices and service. Then maybe the owner of cherry blossom will finally realize that they need to step it up a notch if they want to continue charging those prices.

    I went to this restaurant for a third time yesterday. I arrived at 5:30 PM. For the first time since I began coming to this restaurant, half of the restaurant was blocked off to seating. Fine. I was seated in an area where no one was sitting, and I was content... until at the table right beside me 2 people were seated. One of them talked a lot+++ Unfortunately my delightful meal was ruined by a man who hadn't yet learned how to stop talking about himself, and a waiter who supplied the reason why the restaurant sits people in only half of the available seating... they are saving the other half for groups with families of more than 4 (or maybe they don't want to clean the other half of the restaurant). Because I am trying to avoid overeating, I gave the $29 All You Can Eat menu a pass, and ordered from the A La Carte Menu. When the food arrived, it was fresh and delicious. I ordered miso soup, shrimp tempura, seaweed salad and a sushi roll with asparagus, avocado, salmon and tobiko. Everything was fresh and perfectly prepared. The best reason to choose this restaurant is the food. However, given the fact that one waiter kind of sneered at me when I asked for the All You Can Eat and the À la Carte Menu (to choose between them before ordering) and given that the other waiter criticized me for taking a photo during the meal, but had no problem defending crowded seating arrangements, I recommend asking for a booth or arriving well before 5:30 PM, when it is not so crowded. Or you may want to choose another Japanese restaurant.

    The interior is lovely and spacious.  The two of us enjoyed our booth, but groups would do well, too.

    The two of us decided to try Cherry Blossom Sushi after a friend recommended it to us. While were there we took a photo of the lovely interior and posted to facebook, so some more friends came to try it. It's big and roomy inside, with one big row of spacious booths on each side, and tables/booths in the centre. Groups will find it easy to come here and be seated immediately (even really big groups), and we also felt comfortable as a table of two. Disabled guests, including those in wheelchairs, should find the venue easy to navigate. They're next to Bulk Barn, so parking is easy. Once we were seated our waitress showed us how to use the ipad for ordering. If you are vegetarian, like us, you may want to ask for a paper menu as well. The paper menu notes which items are vegetarian, while the ipad does not. However, the ingredients are clearly listed on the ipad with each item. Don't forget that items are ordered by the piece, so if you want several onion rings or pieces of broccoli then be sure to tap the button more than once. This is handy, though, especially if you have children with you or are unsure if you will like an item. You can also order by paper menu if you prefer. The dishes came quickly and were very tasty! They were also prompt and friendly with drink refills. I have had problems at other sushi places with the staff not liking to come by for additional orders or to take care of drinks - that was not a problem here. Also, we ordered diet coke from the fountain and the refills were free. They mentioned that cans were also available for some sodas (no refills), but we didn't check into that. There were a moderate number of vegetarian options, including a lovely selection of mango-based items. You'll also find your standard veggie favourites, such as seaweed salad, spring rolls, veggie udon, veggie fried rice, etc.. The fried milk pudding squares were our favourite desert, with the mango pudding in a close second. Price is about $26 x adult for unlimited ordering, and I believe it was $17 x child. Right now they are just doing debit and cash, but I suspect they'll add credit cards asap.

    The cheesy mussels were pretty good!

    When you walk into cherry blossom, the first thing you really notice is the elaborate wood structure extending to all parts of the space. Its a very different atmosphere, but in a good way. Everything is new and clean. Ambiance- 4/5 The food is overall pretty good at this establishment. There are many other sushi joints in guelph but this is one of the better ones. One thing I dont like about this place is that some of their foods seem simply frozen and fried. Things like takoyaki (octopus balls) should be made-to-order at that price range!! They look too uniform. It looks like a gumdrop but deepfried... Sashimi was great. The salmon was fresh and thickly cut, beef sashimi did not have an overpowering iron taste, the mackerel was juicy and briney like it should be and scallops were fresh as well. The rolls were ok. Frankly, for the price, I was diappointed with these rolls. $27.00 for dinner is not cheap! I love my spider rolls and they were not very good here. The other rolls (golden roll, spicy salmon, green dragon) were pretty typical. Another thing I always order at sushi restaurants is their udon soup, so I ordered the seafood udon. The broth wasnt too bad. It was a little bit sweet which was nice. However, It was served in an awkward little bowl and it was hard to eat the noodles with so many vegetables thrown in. So overall, it was not great... Dessert was not so great. I really liked the coconut ice cream. It has pieces of coconut in it! The servimg of creme brulee was ridiculous. It was so shallow that as soon as you break through the sugar your spoon hits the bottom...not impressed. Food- 3/5 Service was good. The service is always quick and efficient thanks in part to the ipad ordering system. The food didnt take long at all to arrive at the table. Water was refilled when empty and servers were kind. Service- 4.5/5 OVERALL: I would say don't come here for sushi. Samura sushi in north Guelph is better quality. They will give you better quality sushi especially considering the price. Also, rumour has it that Japanese visitors at the hitachi plant choose Samura sushi. Value- 2/5

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!!!

I've gotten the katsudon a couple times too, and it's a good meal. Comes with miso soup and salad. Which, the salad is basically a leaf of lettuce with a bit of odd carrot dressing. The all you can eat is as you would expect it. It's nothing to write home about. The quantity of the sushi definitely outweighs the quality, that's for sure. The interior is quite small, but it's cozy. There's a couple back areas for larger groups. I want to sit there one of these days.

I received a confirmation text, and when I arrived the food was ready - earlier than scheduled even which is a bonus. We had intended to use downtown Guelph gift vouchers we recently received as a gift. As a business listed under the Downtown Guelph Business Association directory, they should be willing and able to accept them as they are valid as cash or cheques. They get deposited the same as a cheque into their bank, as it says on both the voucher AND the Downtown Guelph Business Association website. We arrived to pick up our order and were told that the owner does not want to accept these vouchers. The cashier had been told before that they are not willing to accept then. We insisted that they should take them as they are valid as cash or cheque at any downtown business, but apparently the owner does not want to deal with the hassle. The cashier phoned the owner who immediately told them "no, we won't take them" and hung up. We then offered to pay by credit card with Apple Pay since we had not brought our wallets. We were told it was an additional $2, and they don't have tap. We ended up leaving with nothing, and the food went to waste. It is hugely disappointing as someone who tries to support local businesses to be turned away because they don't want to deal with vouchers from their own local business association. It is a service offered by the community to ensure the economic stability of the downtown core, and to see it discarded by a local business is very disheartening. It is also disappointing that they would rather see food go to waste than accept a voucher. Very dissatisfied with the lack of commitment to the community and complete lack of customer service on the part of the owner.

But not only that, the service was super friendly and the decor was cute. I went around 3pm in a Friday and it was absolutely dead. But that definitely had nothing to do with it being bad food. I appreciated all of the many fish options for the bowls and all the great topping options! I will definitely go back for more poke and to try a sushi burrito! I went back a second time to try their rolls (aka sushi burritos). I tried the ninja bomb roll with ninja sauce and it was very good. They also have decent miso soup! Still have yet to disappoint
