The service was great and our waitress was super attentive, friendly, and really on top of everything. Even though the space is on the smaller side, it didn't feel cramped at all and had a nice, comfortable flow. We ordered the takoyaki and the sushi and sashimi moriwase. The takoyaki was perfectly done, it was crispy on the outside, soft and creamy inside, and full of flavour. The sashimi was incredibly fresh, clean-tasting, and naturally sweet. You can tell the quality of the fish is there. Would highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

We stopped by here for dinner a couple of weeks ago and quite enjoyed it but if someone could let…read moreme know where to park, that would be great. The owner let us use one of the spots in the back but it didn't appear to be reserved for the restaurant so I'm not sure where else we would have parked. The restaurant gave me pub vibes and was somewhat dark. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We sat near the window where there was a large tv on the wall that was showing a video of a walk around of what one can only assume, is Japan(?). Wherever it was, it was captivating to watch. After perusing their extensive menu, we opted for the Salmon Combo and the Orangeville roll. Both were excellent and presented beautifully. I would definitely love to come back here but the parking is an issue.

It's hard to narrow down the top ones, but my favourites were the otoro, hotate, and iwashi. The ube ice cream at the end was also delicious, and there was a cute bonus birthday course. The staff seem to be Korean, with training in Japan. The waiter supporting the chef did a decent job catering to the ten guests. This will not be your fanciest omakase experience, but you and your taste buds will still be treated wonderfully.

We booked the bar to watch the show, feel like I didn't really see much. Everything was already prepared and not cut in front of you. We also didn't feel full, the last omakase we been to, we felt pretty full from it. I'm also surprised that a lot of the sashimi they serve isn't actually from Japan. Overall, it was a good experience but I don't know if I will go back again.

Reserved the Tempura Omakase earlier this month and it was a stand-out experience. The interior is…read moreJapanese minimalistic. There was only one other party there for the sushi omakase, and as the only group participating in the tempura one (in a separate area/counter from the sushi), they remarked that it was essentially a private party! The chef was animated throughout and explained all the ingredients of our meal in detail, from where each originated from (all fish and even the garnishes came imported from different areas in Japan), while making jokes and engaging with us. We started off with the Kuruma Ebi, a giant prawn with a fried crunchy spider made of the prawn head. We had a dish of three flavoured salts and the chef would recommend what to dip each piece into. Next was the wagyu wrapped in a shiso leaf, which was one of the top three courses for me. The wagyu was cut into pieces and was so juicy it melted in your melt. Paired with the matcha salt, I didn't want it to end. Then we had a fried whole fish dipped in mushroom salt. The hokkaido scallop was served with yuzu zest on top, which really elevated the sweetness and freshness of the seafood. Then we had my favourite of the night - a mountain of uni topping a shiso leaf! He kept adding more to it and instructed us to eat it in one bite - the most decadent and heavenly thing ever! The vegetable tempura dishes were also very good, with the stand-out being the mushroom with its concentrated aroma in such a small bite (Chef Saito mentioned it costs $90+ per lb). The abalone was also good and served on the shell. Finally, we had the fried mini crab (like a crunchy chip), and sakura shrimp chasuke in a fish bone broth (so much umami and felt like a warm hug). Throughout the meal, the waitress would refill my tea and collect our abalone shells. We ended off the meal with dessert (blueberry ice cream for my friends, a homemade matcha tofu cheesecake for me). I would 100% return to try their sushi omakase now!

The gyoza are another win, it's very well-stuffed, nicely pan-fried, and not as greasy, with or without the dipping sauce, it's good. Overall, a really satisfying meal that feels comforting but still a bit special.

Despite every table being full the two servers in our area made us feel like we were alone in the room. They kept the tea hot and Sake full. We had three Maki rolls, two from the daily specials. The lobster roll was excellent and the others very good. With Misu soup a salad and lots of sake dinner with tax and tip was less than $140 for 2. We left with a smile and a promise to return.

The black cod sushi ($10 for 2 pieces) is an interesting take on the fish, the nigiri torched…read moretableside so the fish's fat begins to melt forming slight layers in the cod. Being a denser fish, it does need a fair amount of flavour and while the sweet soy was a start, it needed something else for interest. After the experience, I'm still on the fence of whether a nigiri is the best use of this prized fish. My preference is still for the baked miso marinated black cod ($15) where the fish is hot and flaky and infused with a slightly sweet umami flavour. The palm-sized portion is just enough for sharing amongst two people. Sushi Bar's other a-la-carte nigiri is just as good with large pieces of barbeque eel on the unagi and a thick slice of ruby red tuna on the maguro (both $7 for 2 pieces). Displaying the lobster on top of the lobster roll ($18) was a great idea as it becomes the first thing you taste, and diners can see the full tail in its glory. However, it was already overcooked and blowtorching it at the table made it even more dry and chewy. Ideally, they should undercook it to begin, and the torching will help heat and finish off the doneness at the table. It's a dish with promise and the thin cucumber lantern a great idea for a beautiful garnish. Starting every meal is a bowl of rice crackers that arrives with drinks, a pre-pandemic tradition that I'm glad has been kept, providing something to snack on as we peruse the menu. A new addition is an amuse bouche of seafood, squid, and seaweed salads, enough for a bite each to enjoy while the rest of the meal arrives. As the temperature drops, the complimentary starter is sometimes a rich hot bowl of miso soup with cubes of tofu and seaweed flakes. A welcomed respite after a cool walk to the restaurant. With a variety of maki available, the black dragon ($17) was an interesting take on the fancier dynamite roll. In this case, sweet-glazed barbeque eel, tempura bits, fish roe, and green onion wrapped around the shrimp tempura. It's a colourful creation offering a variety of textures and flavours and it's ideal that the pieces aren't overly large so that they are enjoyed in one bite. The red dragon ($17) is just as good, substituting the barbeque eel for salmon instead. If you're in the mood for shrimp tempura ($8 for 3 pieces), I'd recommend having it in maki-form as the fried shrimp by itself is underwhelming, the batter too thick and the temperature tepid at best. Upsold to the tuna tartare roll ($10), we should have stuck with the tried-and-true spicy tuna ($8). In the tartare, the tuna too pulverized and the filling including dreaded tempura bits that causes the roll to become gummy. It also needs more heat to be considered spicy tuna. Despite their name, Sushi Bar also makes a variety of non-sushi dishes. You get a hefty portion of hamachi kama ($19) with the full portion, a meaty cut of the fish's jaw. A thicker cut, there were parts of the fish that could have been done a touch less but being a bone-in piece, it can be hard to gauge. Nevertheless, the skin was crispy and the fish hot and delicious. Served with a radish ponzu soy sauce, a bit more salt sprinkled onto the fish would help it pop.
