Ko-Doraku is our go-to Japanese restaurant in Halifax, actually the only one we frequent…read more The working owners are so friendly and informative and we love their specials. Amazingly fresh and unbelievably delicious authentic Japanese preparations. We recommend getting your order in early on Fridays when the place is really hopping, though the food comes out at a good pace no matter when you go. The dine-in space is clean, comfortable and not noisy. You might even be lucky enough to catch live music on a weekend evening. If you're looking for sushi in Halifax, go to Ko-Doraku first!

What nice staff! The kitchen and front staff thanked us when we left. How nice is that?…read more The food was great. I'd never had a sweet potato and avocado roll before, but I tried it and loved it. What a great taste and texture combination! Their location is slightly odd (lower level of a semi-mall -- you can get to the restaurant from the street or from the mall's main entrance). But they have nice booths and tables in one area, and it pretty much felt like a regular restaurant in that section. The lighting was perfect, and it wasn't noisy either.

Despite it was rather late hours, they were busy. I ordered their Tonkotsu ramen. It was good ramen...and I was glad that I stopped by. Tonkotsu broth tasted very good and soup was served "hot" in temperarure. Chashu Pork was nicely cooked - tender and tasty. There were plenty of toppings - nori piece, scalions, naruto, corn, wakame, bean sprouts and half-cooked eggs. I wish there was some bamboo shoots though. I selected wavy noodles instead of straight noodles. It was only thing that did not impress my tongue. Overall, their Tonkotsu ramen was good.

This used to be one of my favourite sushi restaurants in the city; I was an incredibly loyal…read morecustomer. Their lobster nigiri is actual lobster - let's face it, that is unheard of. However; my last three orders from them have been terrible and costly. The first time, I ordered the king crab, which was markedly more expensive and received imitation. I ordered tuna belly and they asked to replace it with tuna with no compensation for the difference in cost after I agreed. I swept this under the rug. The next order; as an appetizer I ordered softshell crab appetizer, they sent the roll, again I swept it under the rug. This third order was the straw that broke the camels back: I'm done. My order compared to what I got, is in in the pictures. Ordered spicy salmon roll - got Tuna Maki. Ordered Negi-Hamachi (suppose to be yellow tail and green onion), got a salmon roll. Not maki with avocado or even tempura bits; just rice and salmon. Vast cost difference. I got the Alaskan roll I ordered, but that is mine and the other two are my kids rolls, so I clearly won't eat in front of them. I'm done. Something is seriously wrong there and at this point it's a waste of money.
