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.

Even after bringing it home, everything tastes just as amazing as dining in. The sushi rolls are flavourful, well-made, and never fall apart--plus the portions are generous, which I love. The sashimi is always fresh, the tempura stays crispy, and the special rolls are consistently delicious. You can tell they put real care into their takeout orders, from presentation to quality. Customer service is friendly, quick, and efficient. Ordering is easy, pick-up is smooth, and the staff always greet you with a smile. Wasabi House takeout has become one of my go-to meals--highly recommended for anyone craving great sushi at home!

I called the restaurant and I couldn't hear the lady in the phone properly so as any restaurant they ask you for your name to make the pickup order but I guess she didn't need that information and interrupted me saying "NO, NO, NO" and I went silence until I'm like hello? and then I can finally order my food and she goes it's gonna take 15 minutes BYE and since I expected the order to take longer than that I tell her wait wait I am not going to be able to come in 15 minutes and she very rudely replied to me saying then you come here and order, ok? What kind of costumer service is that? I was so excited to try this sushi place but now I am not going to order anything because of the arrogant and rude attitude of that woman which left me with a bitter taste.

They don't have much space for sitting down to eat (a tiny bar style seating and a couple small tables outside) but they seem like an excellent take out spot! The items from their menu are decently sized and well priced. Service is prompt. Food tastes amazing. There's really nothing to complain about! They also deliver so that's a bonus! I'll definitely be going back.

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.

Do. NOT. eat. Here. On Thursday, a couple of friends and I…read morewere downtown, hungry, and had heard only things about this place (We didn't read the reviews before going). The beginning of our evening was okay - the server was a little awkward - but we got our orders placed, and the first few dishes came quickly. After we finished the food in front of us we noticed we were still waiting on a couple things (All of our sushi). It made sense that it would take some time, and we were okay with waiting, but after TWO HOURS and countless attempts to get someone over it was very frustrating. We made eye contact with a female waiter who stared back several times and once even shook her head at us and still didn't come. We attempted to request it on the tablet for the check because we were getting pretty tired and just wanted to leave at that point. Still nothing. It was the same when we called for water. When we finally got someone's attention, we were hungry again because it had taken SO LONG that we still asked for the sushi we were missing. The woman brought us of the things we requested, even after showing her the order history on the tablet. Around this time, we had all agreed that after eating we felt nauseous, and one of my friends even had to go to the bathroom to puke it up. The bathrooms smelt TERRIBLE, and there was paper towel strewn about the floors and sink. Overall we sat there for about 4 hours. We finished eating around an hour and a half, waited two, and then waited another 45 minutes for our check after that. Makes me sick. Staff is awkward, unwelcoming, and rude. Don't even get me started on the cups. Would not recommend it to a rat in the alleyway. Not worth the $45 dollars. Save yourself some time and go to Mizu.

Next my curry came and an artist in the kitchen livened up my rice with a cute decoration (see my photo). The curry was yummy and hot, the waitress was so nice, and I was happy with my choice.
