The scallop nigiri was so good, I was not expecting much, but I would def get it again! I love that the miso soup comes in a cup and the shoyu comes in a little fish shaped squeeze tube.

I walked in and was given a small table next to the belt, and was amazed at all the different dishes coming out. You can also order using your phone, which I did- beer and Saké, which was brought to me within a minute! I also ordered some Sushi that was not on the belt, and it came quickly as well! There were two servers running around, but they were cheerful and funny, and very helpful. I grabbed several plates, and everything I had was fresh and tasty- AND- QUALITY. There are seats right next to the belt, but there are some tables as well, if you want a more normal dining experience. When you are done, they count up your plates, and then you pay at the register- I was amazed at just how cheap my meal was! I will happily come back here again!

They also have a delivery service for places around their restaurant or pick up services and catering for corporate or special events. Their service was as friendly, attentive even though sometimes on peak hours, the food preparations can take longer than expected Come early to avoid the crowd cause the restaurant is often crowded and operates on first come first come basis. Ichi Ichi Ku is a perfect place to escape from the city busyness without having to travel too far away from the city.

After a run around the tan my ravenous friends and I decided to check out the breakfast menu at…read morethis cute little hideaway and it did not disappoint. After agonising over the choices all of which looked delicious we went for the chai Bircher, which was amazing almost like a dessert with poached pear and raspberry syrup, the pulled pork which comes with perfectly poached eggs in Panko crumbs and the cheesy polenta porridge, all of which were amazing. We were tempted to stay for lunch or at least try the desserts but decided to leave it for another visit of which I hope there will be plenty :)

I have eaten a lot of poke having grown up in Hawaii when it wasn't the latest fad but a way of…read morelife. Fresh fish. Different spices. Great flavour. Poke Me delivers more than just the seafood aspect of poke but an array of toppings to make it a great meal. For starters, I like the minimalist decor. It's almost easy to miss walking by as the new kid on the block, if it weren't for all the people shovelling down the goods. Walk up, order and wait for your name to be called. (Note: Only cards accepted - no cash!) The assembly line is more like a fresh deli, with big jars and bowls full of fresh veggies and proteins. You pay a set price depending on the protein you order - tofu starts at $12, chicken, salmon and kingfish are $14, tuna is $15. You follow the easy instructions above starting with the base - rice or salad, then protein, two long lists of toppings, and then your sauce. They have Korean rice, so yummy! Even their toppings go the extra mile with red pepper edamame, pickled cucumber with ginger, Kimchi, wasabi tobiko, two kinds of sesame, flavoured mushrooms, the list goes on. You can have it all! The portion size is extremely generous. I was super hungry and still could not finish it. Easy take away for a second meal! Fish quality was good for what could be called 'fast food.' Their sauces are spectacular too - traditional poke is shoyu style, but you can get two types of mayo, jalepeno, a total of five or six to choose or try a few. I'll definitely be back as this is the perfect summer food, leaving you feeling healthy and happy. :)

The great thing is that you don't have to wait too long either. Right now I can't resist Tamoyaki, so of course I had that and was not disappointed.

I was really pleased with Edo, it's no high end eatery but it does a great job in filling up your tummy!

There was a nice selection of sushi, sashimi and hot dishes. See my pics of the menu! We tried the Sushi and sashimi special combination first. Everything was excellent.

They have indoor and outdoor seating. Will definitely be back next time am in town!

I had a highly enjoyable experience eating at Kanpai Japanese Restaurant. It all began with a quest…read moreto find a decent Japanese place near the city -- but not too close to the city that parking would be impossible. I think Kanpai is in a great location for the perfect balance. ~ Inside, its dimly lit, warm atmosphere is relaxing and the staff are welcoming and understanding. ~ The drinks come in big glasses, the food is well presented, and orders come out quickly. ~ The open kitchen style is nice, albeit not particularly unique, finding comforts in the more traditional teppanyaki-styled Japanese restaurants. The downside of this is that when the restaurant is busy, I imagine the kitchen sounds could get quite noisy for the seating environment. ~ The restaurant is open 'late' on some nights -- and they mean it more than other restaurants in the area. Kanpai was actually my second choice of places to try, however arriving at the first restaurant at 10.15pm on a Saturday night and finding it closed made me give Kanpai a try. On the Saturday night I was here, the kitchen closed at about 11pm. ~ Sadly, the entrees and mains did not come out at the same time. It's a little pet peeve of mine, but if I'm eating with someone else and my entree arrives ten minutes before theirs, I have the choice of either being rude and gobble it up without waiting for theirs to show, or allow it to go cold while waiting for my dining partner's dish. Overall, the food was tasty, the environment was quiet and clean, the experience was positive, and the staff were kind. I even had a laugh at the waiter who I witnessed using an array of chopsticks and sticky-tape to rescue a receipt that had fallen behind the fridge. A positive dining experience. I will be back.

I was disgusted by the sushi hand rolls and are definably not worth my $2. The service here was appaling, the lady wouldn't serve me anything but sushi and I was lost.

It was a weekend…read morenight and we didn't have reservations but they were able to find us a table which was very appreciated. The interior is nicely decorated, with a big outdoor terrace that overlooks the water. It was pretty chilly so we stayed inside, but one nice day it's definitely worth doing. There's an extensive sake list, and plenty of beer but I stuck with iced tea which changes regularly. Mine was a lemon rosemary which wasn't too sweet at all. For food, we started with edamame that came with a lovely spicy dipping sauce. That was followed by some skewered meat which they specialize in and you should definitely get - they're reasonably priced and a great accompaniment to drinks. Finally, we had a rainbow roll from their well curated sushi menu. My husband said it was some if the best sushi he's had recently - definitely very fresh. Service is friendly, and if you aren't inclined to dine in there is a dedicated take out area.

I must say, my last visit here was the most disappointing. Your restaurant is only as strong as…read moreyour weakest link, and there was a few weak links that night. The food is always good. It's always fresh, and tasty and beautifully presented. In this regard, they didn't let us down. But the service was so incredibly bad. They clearly forgot someone's entree, and instead of just owning it and admitting it, there was every excuse under the sun and most didn't even seem plausible and varied from wait staff to wait staff. I'd rather just know for sure that something has been forgotten, so we have a realistic expectation of when to expect it. I just don't think they either cope when very busy, or their staff just need more training. Other than the bad service, I have to compliment them again on the food. Every dish was delicious and looked good too. My favourite was the Tuna Tataki (picture attached). Really, really good. Pricing is a teeny bit high, but I guess average considering Japanese food is a bit pricier than other cuisines. Parking isn't always great, so I like coming to the earlier seating so there's a better chance for a parking space. The decor is good, but the chairs a bit uncomfortable and heavy to move when adjusting yourself at the table. But overall, I think if the food at a restaurant is good enough, it sometimes outweighs some of the negatives.

Great sushi/Japanese spot. The free miso is awesome and all of their hot dishes (stirfries, noodle…read moreetc), if stated with veg, actually come out with a generous range of veggie goodness. They also have lots of brown rice sushi rolls to choose from. Their bento boxes are pretty great too and there is 15 or so different bento combos to chose from. The menu has lots of options to build your own meal combos without breaking bank ie lots of sides (sounds boring but their lettuce side is delicious) and smaller things (agedashi tofu mmmm) Their comb sushi/sashimi pates are well priced and the seafood tastes beautifully fresh. I have tried the curries but they look amazing and not too oily again with lots a veg. A filling, healthy Japanese lunch spot!
