An impromptu dinner with O meant we finally got to try Sushi Yuzen. We went a month earlier but…read morewere closed the day we went. The entrance is a bit hidden from view; just look for the sign. They also own Menya Yuzen (which specializes in ramen). We dropped in on a Sunday evening (around 7:45pm). The inside is dinky with only three tables to fit 8 people total. Crazy small. Most people do takeout. Service was friendly and attentive. The menu is in a cute booklet; appetizers, sashimi, nigiri, aburi sushi, sushi combo, rice bowl, uramaki, chumaki/futomaki, hosomaki/cone, sushi burritos and combo options. - Miso soup ($2.50) - O got a small bowl to start. She said it was salty but good. - Tamago nigiri ($2.00) - tamago is always my benchmark on whether a place will have good nigiri. SY's was great. Great texture and slight sweetness to the egg. - Chop chop hosomaki ($4.25) - this was my favourite of the two hosomaki's. Really fresh, melt in your mouth. - Spicy tuna hosomaki ($4.25) - the spice is flavourful and nicely balanced. Good but small portions. - Inari nigiri ($2.00) - bean curd. The skin had a sweet, chewy texture. Basically, tofu wrapped around a ball of rice. - 2x Aburi salmon nigiri ($2.25) - I can only think of a few places in town that do aburi style sushi. These were nicely seared and melt in your mouth. - Salmon sashimi ($10.00 for 5) - fresh, good quality and reasonably sized pieces of salmon. Can't really ask for anything more. Good quality but pricey.

It only seats 8 people, but this tiny sushi shop is awesome!! Take out or sit in, it's all good!…read moreFrom the same family that had the ramen shop, Sushi Yuzen focuses only on a small menu with no hot food. The sashimi is faaaaaabulous. The hosomaki (small rolls) are appropriately priced between $4 and $5 per 6 piece roll, but don't let the small price fool you - it's delicious and with a decent amount of filling and not just rice. Our favourite was the Aburi BC roll - at $10.50 it was one of the pricier options on the menu, but this roll would easily run you $15+ at any of the Edmonton sushi joints. Service is super friendly and the food is delicious/fresh without breaking the bank. What more do you want in life??

Dishes that I would definitely recommend are the nabe udon, cream udon (not pictured), their yam avocado roll, and their volcano roll. I think everything for the most part was good, only complaint would be that their chicken karaage was a little dry. Other than that, I think my overall experience was quite good and I hope to come back and try other items!

This is my second time to Sushi Toshi, the all-you-can-eat sushi (and other foods) Japanese…read morerestaurant. I have ordered sushi rolls, nagiri, sashimi, maki and a temaki (cone). I ordres an assortment of them - red snapper, tuna and salmon for the sushi, California and Alberta rolls, and tempura shrimp cone. This time around I ordered the beef tataki, stir fried udon with chicken, miso soup and the 6 oz steak (for this one, a hot stone is brought to your table and you sear the steak on it; sauce are also available for this dish). I had green tea to drink and had green tea ice cream for desert. Service was very good and rapid, and very attentive and polite. The restaurant's ambiance is busy and popular, but it's quite easy to relax and enjoy the food and restaurant while there.

In all my years of eating sushi, I've never went to an AYCE sushi place until now. So this was my…read morefirst AYCE experience here. And after our dinner, this place will be pretty difficult to beat. We came here for our anniversary dinner. My boyfriend put in a reservation earlier, and once we arrived we were seated pretty quickly. It was a Monday night but I was so surprised at how packed the place was. This was our first time here so the server explained how ordering on the slip works. Wait time wasn't terrible. And like I mentioned before, this place was so packed and full of people. All the servers that night were weaving through aisles, delivering food, and taking orders. They were all hustling. Food was delicious. We started off with a couple of rolls like California Rolls, Avocado, Tuna, Salmon, and Tamago. The sushi rolls were pretty small, but I didn't have a problem with it. Since it's AYCE, I knew that we'd have much more food coming. I was very impressed by the quality of fish. It tasted very fresh. Also we ordered the seared Beef Nigiri and that was delicious. We ended up ordering more of that later. For the next round, we ordered Edamame, Beef (? it was like a beef galbi cut but I forgot the name of it on the menu), Chicken Skewers, Green Onion Cake, and Tempura. For our Tempura veggies we chose pumpkin, yam, and eggplant. I loved the tempura. It was definitely a highlight of the night. The batter was very crispy, light, and all the tempura came out hot. It was wonderful. We ended up getting more after the first round of tempura because it was too good. The Chicken Skewers were phenomenal. My boyfriend and I were saying that if we had the Chicken Skewers with rice, that would just be enough. The flavor of the sauce was great: savory, slightly sweet, it was reminiscent of a teriyaki flavor for me. And lastly, we had the BC Roll, Alberta Roll, Crunchy Roll, Philadelphia Roll, the seared Beef Nigiri again, and a few other rolls. At this point of the dinner we barely had any steam left but somehow we managed. Every single we thing we ate was just amazing. I wasn't disappointed by anything we ordered actually it was just great. I will say the Crunchy Roll had this smokiness that scratched my brain in the best way possible and I was so impressed by that bite. This was such an unforgettable experience and the best place we've spent our anniversary haha. 10/10, take my money. To Sushi Toshi, I'll be thinking about you.

We ordered the takowasabi, half dozen oysters, red ramen, deluxe sashimi, and duck pressed sushi--everything was fantastic. The sashimi, in particular, was very fresh and high quality. A couple of small notes: the seaweed for the takowasabi was cut a bit too small, and the oysters were slightly on the smaller side for the price--but overall, a great experience and definitely coming back here again next week.

Super Dynamite roll: 8/10. Great flavor but roll is too big and hard to eat without taking a too big of bite or making a mess. Garlic Salmon Fried Rice: 10/10, what a surprise!

This is one of my favourite places to have Japanese food. (I can't just pick one, it would be like…read morepicking your favourite child.) Atmosphere is relaxed and minimalistic with a great chill vibe. Service is okay but I would say that all the times I have been there, the staff have not been super welcome or friendly. And this day was super busy, a Friday night and I don't think they had enough staff for the tables. Our dishes came by slowly which was fine because we were visiting with friends but don't expect to fly in and out. This is the one thing they can improve on. Luckily the food makes up for it. We ordered a bunch of things to share. The seasonal vegetable tempura Beef Tataki served with grated daikon, seaweed, sliced onion, ponzu dressing Black Cod with a miso marinade Japonais Premium Select -assorted chef's choice of maki rolls, sushi & sashimi We also sampled sake, beer, and Japanese whiskey Everything we had was delicous. The standout was the black cod with the miso marinade and the amazing selction of the Japonais Premium Select. A HUGE amount of rolls, sushi and sashimi. Definately worth the money if you are fine with the chef doing the choosing. Everything was super fresh. The only thing I think was just average was the tempura. It was no difference than the other places I have been to. Really worth making the reservation for, just keep in mind you may need to wait.

The mysterious Sushi Niwa appeared in the Scotia Place food court late in 2015 and I have finally…read morehad the chance to sample the food. The menu on the boards is laid out very nice and easy to read and they also have sushi rolls prepared and ready to take out. Walking up it was the sushi that caught my eye- it looked very fresh and the portions were huge. I went with a katsu bento box with the dynamite rolls. I was surprised when they said the meal included either a free pop, water or miso soup. I opted for the drink and my whole meal came to just over $12. I thought this was fair and THEN I saw the portions they dished out. Holy man they are not stingy! I got a huge piece of pork cutlet with broccoli and rice. Then there was 4 different pieces of tempura (one of which is prawn which you NEVER get in a bento box unless its at a premium). The dynamite rolls were unreal. They were stuffed with goodness and topped with delicious sauces- the presentation was fantastic for the rolls. It also came with the traditional side of salad and the dressing was amazing. I seriously couldn't believe that I only paid 12 bucks for this amount of food. I took my meal back to my office and I had literally 5 people walk through the lunchroom probing at where I got my food from. Sushi Niwa, welcome to the neighborhood. I hope you stick around for a really long time and you already have a bunch of new customers coming for you tomorrow!

Also tried the Bbq Combo. Takoyaki was well-made. Bacon-wrapped shrimps okay. Pork dumplings (more like shrimp-based) was delicious. However, the yakitori was dry and tasted like an afterthought. The restaurant interior was cozy and inviting. The booth layout added to its charm. A very different perspective from the impression one gets from its almost industrial exterior (with a sign that says Sushi factory). The waitress and owner were friendly and nice.
