I heard about this place being one of the 100 best restaurants in Canada, so I had to try it. If you're going here for supper, you must try the rolls. I sadly don't remember which ones we ordered, but they were an absolute gastronomic experience of flavour and texture. Delightful. The other dishes we tried weren't as good. The sashimi was good, but I've had better in Winnipeg. read more

The food was fresh and the staff were attentive. Nice selection of sushi, sashimi, entrees and desserts.

The sushi rolls were very well made, flavours were great and light! Service was efficient and had very attentive staff, was much appreciated! The ramen was not as enjoyable as it was extremely salty. I've had their spicy miso ramen plenty of times and it was not unbearably salty, so this was quite a disappointment for a ramen lover wanting to try another ramen on the menu Overall, would still come back to try their other rolls and oysters! read more

Yujiro Japanese Restaurant - Hakata ramen (tonkatsu broth) with a side of Negi Toro (tuna) roll & Hakone (shrimp tempura & scallop) roll. - Japanese Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

The sushi here is the freshest and best in Winnipeg by far. I have had sushi at other highly recommended places in Winnipeg and other places in the world (Hawaii, Vancouver) and been so disappointed every time. Yujiro has never let me down! I highly recommend their Baku Dan, spider roll, Chiba roll, rainbow roll, salmon/tuna and sashimi and scallop sashimi. The restaurant itself is low key and not pretentious. The place is often packed so reservations are a must! read more

Some of the better sushi I have eaten in the US or Canada. Excellent experience eating here. Very fresh nigiri and rolls.

My go to sushi place for dine in and take out. They are super busy so be prepared for a longer wait for take out on Friday's and Saturday's. They have one of the best quality fish and seafood in the city (unlike wasabi which has been slipping year after year in quality). Ambience feels a bit more rushed here but food is always on point. Ask for their specials. Love the beef tongue - soooo good. They also have some great specialty rolls that are not on the regular menu. Whenever I order platters for parties at home - everyone always raves about how good the sushi rolls are. For a quick dinner take out I love the Donburi - I don't have to think of what to get and I get a complete meal. I love the TORODON $21 - 9pcs fatty albacore tuna on sushi rice with miso soup and salad. The rice is almost always done right and if you know sushi it's all about the rice. I even like the vegetable rolls which I prefer to not order since most are the same price as the ones with fish. Some faves: Beef tongue (specials) - it's cooked and super tender and flavourful with the mustard they serve DELUXE CALIFORNIA ROLL $8 - real crab meat, mayo, tobiko, avocado & sesame read more

My wife and I had dinner there last night. We knew they over charged so we didn't order and drinks and kept the order smaller and used specials. It was a small amount of food, 2 salads, 2 rolls and some sushi. When the bill came it was almost $150!!! That is deliberate price gouging in my opinion. read more

The food was really delicious, very artfully prepared. The service was amazing with great ambiance.

Came here for the first time for my birthday. This family owned restaurant was quite the experience. My family loved everything that we ordered. Chef Billy did an amazing job. Everything tasted fresh and was made efficiently even though it was busy. The service was also quick. It was on the pricier side in terms of sushi, but it was worth it. read more

Was a very good restaurant but i think it closed during covid. Its to bad the lunch was awesome read more

+.5 for service Yujiro is by far the best Japanese restaurant in Winnipeg if you're looking for quality sushi. Sure it's more expensive than your typical sushi place, but that's the price you pay for excellent quality. There's not a lot of seating inside for a restaurant this good, therefore reservations are required. Even though I arrived on a Tuesday at 5:45pm, I was only allowed to dine until 6:30pm as someone reserved my table for that time. My table had the deluxe sashimi, bagel roll, negitoro maki, and kamikaze roll. Everything was incredibly delicious, especially the different kinds of fish that's not available in any other restaurant in Winnipeg (e.g: whelk, amberjack, albacore tuna). All the other rolls were all presented very well and tasted as great as its presentation. Service was excellent, despite the fact they understandably tried to rush us out. I definitely wished my table could've stayed longer, but it certainly means there will be another visit from me in the future. read more

It is, in my opinion, the best Japanese restaurant in Winnipeg. The sushi is fresh and delicious. Ramen has a great price for flavour and quantity. The only drawback is that it is always busy, and calling for a reservation is always needed. If you don't mind waiting, you can try it as a walk-in, but I do not recommend it. read more

Haven't been back since the disgusting crap they gave us New Year's Eve that was made in some ones garage. Not fresh not good not going back read more

An absolute gem. Definitely make a reservation. Prices are very fair for the level of deliciousness.

In my opinion this is by far the best Sushi restaurant in town. I've been going to Yujiro for years and never had less than perfect experience. Ingredients are always fresh and of the highest quality while prices are very reasonable. If you prefer giant rolls with tons of rice on them or all-you-can-eat sushi, don't bother coming. This is sushi done right, byte sized pieces, wonderful presentation, always the best and freshest ingredients. They do have daily specials, combination (bento) specials and a lower priced lunch time menu, though. If you want to sample of variety of items without breaking the bank, I highly recommend trying one of the bento/package specials, like Yujiro special. You get a miso soup, bowl of rice, 8-10 small pieces of sashimi, two rolls (California is heavenly here), side salad or an appetizer and a desert, all for less than $18. Daily specials are great for discovering something new, there you'll find less common, but pretty amazing dishes. The place is not huge, but very comfortable, tastefully decorated and well suited for a romantic dinner. I can see it working for bigger groups of 8-12 people as well. There's also a sushi bar, where you can enjoy your food after you watch chef prepare it right in front of you. The owner and chef, Masa, is one of the very few real Japanese chefs from Japan that operate in Winnipeg. Also, one of the longest in business. This is not a run of the mill, Korean owned "Japanese" restaurants that seem to have spread through the city in the recent years. This is one of the very few authentic Japanese sushi restaurants, you won't find metal chopsticks here. read more

My girlfriend and I found this place on Yelp on our first night in Winnipeg. It was on the way to IKEA so we figured to try it out being outside of downtown. Luckily our hotel had free local calls so we could make reservations. This restaurant was serious about reservations so we just made plans for 2 at 5:20 PM at the bar. It turned out that we asked about a table for 2 since it looked like tables were available. The waitress made a point that we understood that we had only an hour. So, we quickly ordered but ended up waiting for 20 minutes for our food. We got the dinner bento special which included appetizer (chef's choice) and ice cream. I got the BBQ mackeral bento box and my girlfriend got the tempura bento box. We sampled each other's boxes but she ended up liking my BBQ mackeral. For the appetizer, the salmon fried skin was especially good with some bits of meat on the end. Plus, the ice cream was a special surprise when I couldn't get red bean. Instead, I opted for the black sesame which is now my favorite since red bean ice cream seems to be everywhere. My girlfriend got green tea was fine but I much prefer my black sesame. The price for both of us was very reasonable and the restaurant took my debit card which was extra sweet. It's tough to plan and bring Canadian currency for just a long weekend. read more

Went to Yujiro for lunch today, and as usual, their food never disappoints. This is probably my favourite Japanese restaurant in the city. I was the first customer of the day, and was greeted by the waiter/waitress. I took my usual seat by the window. The waiter informed me of their special of the day. I ended up ordering the miso ramen ($11, which has gone up from $10), a favourite of mine. I've also had their seafood ramen in the past, which was also quite good (photo can be found in the photo section here). The miso ramen comes with a sheet of nori, bamboo shoots, wakame, half of a marinated egg, sliced pork (which was super tender) and scallion. It also came with a side vegetable salad, which I had forgotten it came with. If I had known, I'd probably wouldn't have ordered the yakitori ($6), because I was super full by the time it arrived at my table. The yakitori was so juicy and tender, so it was well worth over-stuffing myself. I had the yakitori with teriyaki sauce, but you also have the option of having it with simply salt and pepper. I should also note that they only offer ramen during lunch hours, so come for lunch if you want some ramen. Aside from miso, they also have spicy miso, seafood, and chicken karaage ramen. However, they only have miso ramen on their menu, so just ask the server whether they have the other kinds available. read more

We probably showed up at the wrong time. The service was pretty poor. We wanted to see if we could get one of our entrees replaced but after waiting 20 min just decided to leave. Unfortunately we couldn't even get a glass of water. read more

The Skinny: great sushi with awesome unique truly Japanese specials (4.5) service is solid (4) value - for what you get, it's really reasonable (4.5). This is by far and away the best Japanese traditional restaurant in town. Period. It's also a favourite neighbourhood haunt for most people so make reservations as they can be booked up quite quickly. Their fish is extraordinarily fresh and well priced. Their sushi is well made too - not too firm, not too soft so that the rolls fall apart. They have a great selection of a la carte menu items of which I am a fan. Namely 1) the daikon salad, 2) Japanese yam tempura, 3) amaebi with the fried heads (oh yeah!), 4) the uni is divine!. If you are a fan of Japanese desserts, try their fresh mochi with red bean and ice cream (when they have it)- you won't regret it. Specials are quite traditional yet change all the time reflecting what is available and in season. Finally, they have great lunch specials - that's right, dudes - they are open for lunch and their bentos are a great deal. read more

Fresh and authentic. Ramens are really good and at that time they had uni! 4 stars because sushi servings are quite small for the price.

Our favorite spot for sushi! Hands down the best in Winnipeg! Will go out of the way to enjoy lunch or dinner here if we're in the mood for ramen or sushi! read more

Visiting Winnipeg have been wanting to try Yujiro for a while now. Go go go to Yujiro. Excellent food. items my group had: Chicken Karaage, Spinach Gomae, Blue Fin Tuna, Uni, Albacore, Hamachi sushi, several maki, and pork cutlet don. everything was delicious... special mention for the Karaage and Gomae salad... best I've had and the sushi which was all amazing. Been to Japan, frequently visit Vancouver, and live in Toronto... I have eaten some excellent sushi... I would rate Yujiro up there with the best. can't wait to return. read more

Not bad food, the California rolls and miso soup were delightful and overall the quality was good. A little on the pricier side in my opinion but the staff was nice and the atmosphere was relatively relaxing. A few inconsistencies within the sushi rolls but overall good. read more

LOVE this place and I try A LOT of sushi places. The decor is pretty typical, but the food is awesome. Everything is really fresh, well prepared and delicious. The price is a good value for what you get. Everytime I have gone to this place it's been packed. As much as I really like this place Wasabi on Taylor will still remain my favorite just because they have a few rolls that no where else offers, but it is more expensive. I really appreciate a sushi restaurant that doesn't purposely double wrap the rolls in rice to make it look like you are getting more when you really aren't. Yujiro makes the rolls small and bite sized which is great. It's a weird location for most as it is in River Heights and not a more popular or trendy area. If you have to travel to get to it Yujiro is worth the trip! read more

Overall, the sushi and food here are high quality. They have an extensive menu that will make revisiting this place a must. We did not know how busy or booked this place gets. The waitress was pensive on seating us (walk-ins) at around 17:30, as they were booked up at 19:00. In addition, we have 3 young kids, and although this place says good for kids, they may mean kids 5 and up. Being that said, it's good location lends itself as perfect for carry out , which I witnessed firsthand as so many carry out orders diverted our servers' attention away. read more

Been eating sushi here for years but hadn't tried their ramen until today and it was amazing. They only serve at lunch though 11:30-2 except Tuesdays when they are closed. read more

Yujiro Japanese Restaurant - Amazing Miso Ramen! - Japanese Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

Moved to Winnipeg almost three months ago. Most often the sushi places here have extremely small portions, what a disappointment - hint hint to the sushi restaurants at Corydon. This sushi restaurant was amazing, the best in Winnipeg! The waitresses were extremely nice and helpful, since my husband is not a fan of sushi. He loved his a la carte teriyaki beef and rice. I loved my deluxe special. Would definitely go back! read more

Yujiro Japanese Restaurant - Banana Tempura - Japanese Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

This is a little hidden gem in Winnipeg imo. It's clean and intimate with modern decor. The food we ordered was excellent. All courses were brought in a timely manner and we never felt ignored. The staff all had smiles and were very pleasant and attentive. I suggest that you make a reservation if you want to guarantee a table. I will definitely visit this restaurant again. read more

Simply one of the best kept sushi secrets that has now been let out of the bag. Shhhh

One of the best Sushi meals I have had while on the road. Sushi was well prepared and fresh. Service was top notch. Bravo!

Went for lunch and had Benito box which was delicious. Waitress was helpful in making recommendations. Good prices and fast service. Will absolutely come again. read more

Love this place food is so good always consistent fresh and tasty. I would definitely recommend it

Food is good, raw fish is very fresh. The only downside is they no longer serving Ramen at dinner

Yujiro is arguably the best Japanese cuisine in the peg. I've been there upwards of 20 times and have had only great experiences. The sashimi/nigiri is always fresh and melt in your mouth. Get the blue fin when it's on special. Rolls are always good as well. My wife is currently pregnant and unable to eat raw fish and this it really one of the few places that can feed her cravings with 'cooked' rolls. I've also enjoyed the ramen bowls during lunch which are second to none. read more

It's was delicious, but expensive and not much on your plate. I will absolutely go back because the sushi is higher quality then many places in the city and the cooks still roll the rice by hand. (You'd be surprised how many feed the rice through a machine that does it for them). It is a very busy place so make sure to make reservations or go early. They have the best Ginger and Green Tea icecream i've had in years! P.S Don't go if your starving read more

Definitely the best sushi restaurant in the city. High quality with a Wide selection, always fresh, and very personable.

i recommend that you only ever go here, The atmosphere is a great mix off uncluttered and yet comfortable the service is always timely and efficient they are warm and always offer freshness in food, it is so delicious. I am addicted and have never left disappointed great place to have a meeting or just go out with friends. Mel Rivers read more

It has RAMEN! So good. Place us very authentic. Just put it this way, we were the only non Asians in the place. Very Very good food! the sushi was fresh and tasty. I had the spicy roll and u also had the Spicy Miso Ramen. It was so hot and good! The broth was a good base and noodles were good as well. We went on Saturday for lunch. read more

For a city that is suffering from one tooo many sushi places this has been one of my favorites for a long time. When they moved quite a while ago from their much smaller location on academy to here I was worried they would "lose there way" If last night's snack was an example they are still among the best in the city. We dropped by for a quick bite on the way through and we sampled an appetizer and three other rolls, they were all fresh, well presented, and very good tasting. I keep to what I have said before this is one of the top three in the city, and worth the trip. read more

Best sushi in the city: traditional dishes, ingredients that are tough to find elsewhere in Winnipeg, always fresh, great specials (for example, Wagyu beef that you cook yourself on a hot stone), many GF options and alterations available. read more
