I got the mix Katsu platter and was surprised that you get a full size portion of both the tenderloin and loin katsu, and also comes with one ebi Katsu. I also got another ebi katsu as a free sample that they're giving out today with every order, and was also given miso soup as well. All their Katsu meals comes with cabbage salad, and my mix platter also came with their homemade tartar and katsu sauces. You can also order Japanese curry sauce on the side as well. Other types of katsu they offer include cheese, fish, tofu, and chicken. Would highly recommend trying them out!

As an avid sushi consumer, I have spent time eating sushi all around the world--LA, Portland,…read moreSeattle, Atlanta, DC, Hawaii, Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Gangneung, and many other places. I either go for the highest quality or the most budget friendly (best bang for your buck) sushi spots. In all honesty, visiting Winnipeg, I had low expectations for the sushi. I've been spoiled with some of the best sushi all around the world. That being said, I was blown away with Hiro Sushi! I can say with full confidence that Hiro Sushi has one of the best combinations of high quality fish and reasonable/affordable prices as any sushi place I have ever visited. The phenomenal plating was just a cherry-on-top. For nigiri / sashimi--I recommend the salmon, salmon belly, eel, and halibut. 9.7/10. For rolls (those who can't do real sushi )--I recommend all of them. I don't remember the names, but they were all good. Some were spicy, some sweet, and some had a good combination of sweet and spicy. 9.3/10. The roe bowl may be the best I've ever had outside of Tokyo. 10/10. The poke bowl (or more like hourensou) was the best I've had. Better than Hawaii and Tokyo. 10/10. Not all heroes (hiros) wear capes. If you ever find yourself in Winnipeg, do yourself a favor and stop by Hiro Sushi!

I also got a young coconut boba slush but there wasn't a lot of liquid in my drink sadly. I had to pour some regular water in it to melt the slush and it was supposed to have real coconut chunks in it because I paid an extra dollar for this but I couldn't taste or figure out where it was in the slush.

Sake was a bit pricey compared to other sushi places but it maybe due to the lack of sushi places in this area. Food was alright but nothing that really stood out. I got the tuna gomae and was expecting avocado with it but got cucumber instead. Just little things I appreciated elsewhere.

Tip: This place serves excellent ramen. The miso broth was exquisite, with thick cuts of chashu…read more When I lived in Winnipeg, getting ramen at any eatery wasn't a thing. Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse was the most popular Japanese restaurant then. It didn't and continues to not have ramen on its menu. Sushi restaurants were starting to bud in the city back then. On my first day in Winnipeg earlier this month, I wanted to grab dinner before driving to Steinbach. Since I had never had ramen at a restaurant in Winnipeg, I did a search and found GaiJin Izakaya. I said yes and drove over to this eatery. This restaurant is located in a plaza. There was plenty of parking when I had arrived. I parked and walked in. I was immediately greeted by a woman. I asked if I could get a table. She led me to a booth. I'm glad that I beat the dinner rush, as she asked other customers after me whether they had a reservation. There was a QR code on the table. You scan it to access the menu. The drink menu was there on the table. It was also online. I got these items: - Diet Coke - Gyoza - Miso ramen (bamboo shoots held) - Black sesame ice cream I added gyoza for $5 to make my miso ramen a combo. I recommend it, as gyoza as an appetizer on its own is $14.50. My miso ramen came with miso broth that contained both pork and chicken flavours. This dish featured chashu, wakame, bamboo shoots, green onions, and a marinated egg. I asked if I could get the bamboo shoots held. Done! My Diet Coke came out first. I got a glass with ice. I appreciated that gesture. I poured my beverage into the glass, which made my drink nicely cold and refreshing on a hot summer day. My gyoza came out next. The filling was pork and it was delicious. Each gyoza was flavourful and perfectly fried. They were crispy and yummy. My bowl of miso ramen came out next. I was excited. The best move that this eatery does is to separate the roasted seaweed from the broth. Most eateries dunk the sheets of seaweed in the ramen and you end up eating soggy, flabby seaweed sheets. I appreciated this detail. I had a bit of roasted seaweed left and put it off to the side on a plate so it wouldn't get soggy. My server was super effective clearing items off my table. She was about to clear my plate with the seaweed on it. I asked her to hold off, so I could grab my seaweed. I can't let that go to waste. I loved it. I was also paying for good roasted seaweed. The miso ramen here is exceptional. You can tell if the broth doesn't excite me if I don't consume the entire thing. I did here. The combination of pork and chicken broth with miso was tasty and brilliant. It was wonderful. I'm drooling. The ramen was bouncy and had the perfect chew. The slices of chashu were thick and tender. It had good flavour and I enjoyed the balance between the fat and the protein. I normally get corn, but completely forgot to order some. Oops! I was content with the green onions, wakame, and jammy, marinated egg. They pulled everything together to make this miso ramen so special and comforting. I was ready for dessert. I asked what ice cream flavours were available. There was matcha and black sesame. I chose the latter. I don't have black sesame ice cream often. It was so creamy and had a delightful nutty flavour to it. It was the perfect ending to this meal. My server was attentive. She got me the bill. I let her know that everything was fabulous. She was delighted. I paid with a credit card and tipped. I tapped and I was done. I used the washroom before I made the brief trip eastbound to Steinbach. It was clean. No complaints. I got melon candy as a parting gift. I loved it. It's always a favourite of mine. This eatery is a gem for delicious, authentic ramen and gyoza. Come here! This place also offers sushi rolls, baos, and more. I'd love to return and try other items on the menu. However, I feel that I'll be back for more ramen. Priorities! (250)
