    Spicy pork bento
    Paul T.

    Went during lunch. Lots of seating available. Quick and attentive staff. Food came out quick which is nice during a lunch break. Went with the spicy pork bento. Food overall was good and filling, though not my favourite spicy pork. I had some of my wife's sushi which I would opt for next time.

    I order the spicy pork soup but just found up to 3 little pieces of pork inside. Maybe the time to close but I walk from Aurora Go Train station to the resturant in ice rain. Just want some good food. So dissapointed.

    Tempura is $5 extra on top of lunch order!

    This place is such a soothing vibe. The place has dim lighting with a darker furniture. I love the decor. It's also not so loud which is a huge plus so I can work while having lunch. Staff is welcoming and greeted with a smile. Lunch comes with miso soup and salad. You can add tempura with your lunch order for an extra $5. I ordered salmon sushi and spicy salmon maki. Salmon is pretty good! It's not the best I've tasted, next time I'll be getting just rolls and not salmon. Will be going here again regardless!

    Came across this amazing little sushi joint while I was in town, and it really did live up to its reviews! I was pleasantly surprised and would highly recommend! Food- came here during lunch hour, they have lunch hour special. Ordered the spicy salmon roll w dynamite, and an additional side of tempura including shrimp, yam and other assorted veggies. I love love loved it all. Service - attentive, quick - with bottom call service. Kind and polite. Ambiance - it wasn't quite busy on a Tuesday lunch hour around 2PM, but unsure how busy it gets at night!

    The good: This is a fairly new Korean restaurant that opened up in Aurora, where not many can be found! So it's quite an authentic spot to satisfy your Korean food cravings. They also have a lot of sushi options to choose from. I ordered Korean food (of course!) and got the Gamjatang (Pork bone soup). It was nice that it came with Korean purple rice, each cooked in its own pot, so you can scrape and eat all the rice with the hot water provided. The bad or needs improvement: Food prices are going up but I thought it was a bit pricey for pork bone soup... it was $18. I just remember the good old days when this was the more economical option off the menu. They also gave side dishes but I was sad to see it was in small bite size portions...they were good so I wanted more!

    Fantastic! I really love the food here and it's quiet authentic (from my limited knowledge) Everyone is really friendly and the food is just good :)

The service is top-notch--friendly, attentive, and efficient. One of the best parts? You get your own private booth, which makes the dining experience feel more relaxed and personal. Whether you're going for a casual dinner or a date night, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality sushi and great service in Aurora!

    As a parent, I am extremely disappointed by the experience my 14-year-old daughter and her two…read morefriends had at this restaurant. The girls visited during their lunch break and ordered bento boxes. They had saved their lunch money for several days so they could afford this special treat. When it came time to pay, the waitress placed the receipt directly in their faces and pressured them for tips. Instead of simply explaining tipping etiquette if she felt they were unfamiliar with it, she took the POS machine and manually entered a $5 tip for each girl without their understanding or consent. These are young teenagers, and they felt intimidated and frozen in the moment. They didn't know how to respond. After leaving the restaurant, they were upset, scared, and embarrassed. My daughter told me they felt taken advantage of. What makes this even more disappointing is that the waitress was rude and unfriendly throughout the meal. Aside from bringing their food, there was very little service provided. This restaurant is located in a high school area, and staff should know how to treat young customers with respect. Pressuring minors into tipping and making them feel uncomfortable is completely unacceptable. It felt more like bullying than customer service. We will never return, and I hope management addresses this issue so that other young customers do not have a similar experience.

    Solid 4 stars! I really enjoy the maki platter from sushi blue! They don't seem to have a website…read moreand it's not already on Yelp so I found out about it via Doordash. So i was a bit skeptical. But I'm glad I take the risk cuz it was good! And I've tried quite a few sushi takeout during these covid months. We ordered the 42 pcs maki platter. It comes with 6 California, 10 red dragon, 10 caterpillar, 10 dynamite, and 6 spicy salmon. With tax and fees it comes to about $60. (If not doordash maybe closer to $50). The size of the rolls are big and the ingredients are fresh. And I'm so surprised that the rice actually tastes vinegary! This is rare for Maki takeout platter! Tho it is a tad bit too sour, if they can reduce the vinegar by a little it would have been perfect. And their rolls are not drenched with sauce yet each ingredient is so flavorful. I really enjoy the caterpillar roll, it has grilled eel inside it was so good. I think overall it is a very reasonable price and the Maki quality is good. It was also relatively quick so we didn't wait long until the food arrives at our door step.

Firstly, I love the fact they give you a choice to choose between 5 or 9 pieces for their specialty rolls. I'm the kinda gal that loves variety but can't afford the luxury with rolls as they are often times too filling. At sushi blue, I can have my variety of rolls and eat it too! The second thing that differentiated sushi blue from other Japanese restaurants were their prices. I was amazed how much cheaper they were than some of the neighborhood sushi restaurants but let me assure you, the taste was just as good. For example, my black dragon roll would average $17 else where, but it was only $13 here. The texture of the rice can be a bit better but the quality of the ingredients was on par with my other favourite sushi restaurants. We will for sure order from sushi blue again!

You can really tell they take pride in both the quality of the food and the presentation. What made our experience even better was our waitress, Sarah. She was so kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout our meal. She had such a warm personality and made us feel genuinely taken care of. Great customer service like hers makes all the difference. If you're looking for fresh sushi, generous portions, and outstanding service, I highly recommend Nigiriya. We'll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Sarah, for making our visit so enjoyable!

    Food 3.5/5 Service 3/5…read moreAmbience 3.5/5 An attractive clean looking restaurant with dine-in and take-out. The restaurant has several menu items for sushi and Korean foods and offers a menu of lunch specials. We ordered: Takoyaki Lunch BBQ salmon Donburi Tonkatsu Curry I enjoyed the Takoyaki. The size of the pieces of octopus was decent. My partner enjoyed the Tonkatsu Curry. The curry sauce came in a separate bowl. The best part of the BBQ Salmon Donburi was the avocado, which they gave a generous serving of avocado. In the Donburi, I thought the sushi rice was underwhelming and bland. The BBQ salmon was over barbecued and sooo dry it could not be saved by the lime aioli and teriyaki sauces. Our friend who ordered the sushi really enjoyed their appetizer. Service: This is the first time I can recall that there is no complimentary green tea offered when dining in at a restaurant offering sushi or Korean food. We asked for water and our friend ordered a beer. At about 15 minutes later, the beer was served. After the food arrived, still no water. We asked for the water again, and four little Chinese tea cups of water (100ml) was served. I don't know if this is standard at this restaurant but it stood out as very unusual in my experience. Plenty of parking right outside the restaurant. The restaurant is at the end of a plaza. There was a sign at the door for a sushi platter special on Wednesdays $49 that looked promising. I wanted to like the restaurant more because the dining in area was very pleasant.

Ambiance was cute and the tables were a great size to do some damage. Let me explain to you that a smaller all you can eat menu is way smarter as the restaurant can then focus on quality rather than quantity. A lot of other places don't have fresh fish and rice. The other thing I loved as that this place had smaller rolls. I can't stand when there are huge rolls that you can barely fit your mouth around. It's more impressive to pack a lot of flavour in one small bite. I would say focus more on the rolls and nigiri and sashimi rather than the hot appetizers. They were still good but just not as good as the rolls. The chicken karrage could have been a little more crispy. Stand outs include: -Miso soup (it just tasted better than ones I've had and really hit the spot) -All nigiri and the torched sushi -Snow White Roll and the Feza roll -All sashimi -Takoyaki -ALL of the desserts We also split a sake flight which was so good as well. Great service and everything was soo satisfying. Just go and tell your friends. The one bad thing I would say is now I'm craving it again. I wanna go again..and again..and again.
