    Came here last Sunday night for dinner before our movie. We haven't been to Yuzen since they had…read moretheir last location where they served ramen on the weekends, and were surprised that they moved to a smaller location, specializing in takeout. The restaurant had only two tables and can seat 6 people max. The food was perfect and oh so fresh. Never had tuna sashimi that was so delicious in Edmonton. The beef tataki was sliced thin and immersed in this delightfully sour ponzu butter sauce. The seared toro nigiri and chop chop were the stars of the night. Service was attentive and amazing, granted we were the only ones there. Price was about $60 for two people but the quality of the fish made it very worth it. Can't wait to go back! But we definitely miss their ramen too!

    An impromptu dinner with O meant we finally got to try Sushi Yuzen. We went a month earlier but…read morewere closed the day we went. The entrance is a bit hidden from view; just look for the sign. They also own Menya Yuzen (which specializes in ramen). We dropped in on a Sunday evening (around 7:45pm). The inside is dinky with only three tables to fit 8 people total. Crazy small. Most people do takeout. Service was friendly and attentive. The menu is in a cute booklet; appetizers, sashimi, nigiri, aburi sushi, sushi combo, rice bowl, uramaki, chumaki/futomaki, hosomaki/cone, sushi burritos and combo options. - Miso soup ($2.50) - O got a small bowl to start. She said it was salty but good. - Tamago nigiri ($2.00) - tamago is always my benchmark on whether a place will have good nigiri. SY's was great. Great texture and slight sweetness to the egg. - Chop chop hosomaki ($4.25) - this was my favourite of the two hosomaki's. Really fresh, melt in your mouth. - Spicy tuna hosomaki ($4.25) - the spice is flavourful and nicely balanced. Good but small portions. - Inari nigiri ($2.00) - bean curd. The skin had a sweet, chewy texture. Basically, tofu wrapped around a ball of rice. - 2x Aburi salmon nigiri ($2.25) - I can only think of a few places in town that do aburi style sushi. These were nicely seared and melt in your mouth. - Salmon sashimi ($10.00 for 5) - fresh, good quality and reasonably sized pieces of salmon. Can't really ask for anything more. Good quality but pricey.

    This is my second time to Sushi Toshi, the all-you-can-eat sushi (and other foods) Japanese…read morerestaurant. I have ordered sushi rolls, nagiri, sashimi, maki and a temaki (cone). I ordres an assortment of them - red snapper, tuna and salmon for the sushi, California and Alberta rolls, and tempura shrimp cone. This time around I ordered the beef tataki, stir fried udon with chicken, miso soup and the 6 oz steak (for this one, a hot stone is brought to your table and you sear the steak on it; sauce are also available for this dish). I had green tea to drink and had green tea ice cream for desert. Service was very good and rapid, and very attentive and polite. The restaurant's ambiance is busy and popular, but it's quite easy to relax and enjoy the food and restaurant while there.

    In all my years of eating sushi, I've never went to an AYCE sushi place until now. So this was my…read morefirst AYCE experience here. And after our dinner, this place will be pretty difficult to beat. We came here for our anniversary dinner. My boyfriend put in a reservation earlier, and once we arrived we were seated pretty quickly. It was a Monday night but I was so surprised at how packed the place was. This was our first time here so the server explained how ordering on the slip works. Wait time wasn't terrible. And like I mentioned before, this place was so packed and full of people. All the servers that night were weaving through aisles, delivering food, and taking orders. They were all hustling. Food was delicious. We started off with a couple of rolls like California Rolls, Avocado, Tuna, Salmon, and Tamago. The sushi rolls were pretty small, but I didn't have a problem with it. Since it's AYCE, I knew that we'd have much more food coming. I was very impressed by the quality of fish. It tasted very fresh. Also we ordered the seared Beef Nigiri and that was delicious. We ended up ordering more of that later. For the next round, we ordered Edamame, Beef (? it was like a beef galbi cut but I forgot the name of it on the menu), Chicken Skewers, Green Onion Cake, and Tempura. For our Tempura veggies we chose pumpkin, yam, and eggplant. I loved the tempura. It was definitely a highlight of the night. The batter was very crispy, light, and all the tempura came out hot. It was wonderful. We ended up getting more after the first round of tempura because it was too good. The Chicken Skewers were phenomenal. My boyfriend and I were saying that if we had the Chicken Skewers with rice, that would just be enough. The flavor of the sauce was great: savory, slightly sweet, it was reminiscent of a teriyaki flavor for me. And lastly, we had the BC Roll, Alberta Roll, Crunchy Roll, Philadelphia Roll, the seared Beef Nigiri again, and a few other rolls. At this point of the dinner we barely had any steam left but somehow we managed. Every single we thing we ate was just amazing. I wasn't disappointed by anything we ordered actually it was just great. I will say the Crunchy Roll had this smokiness that scratched my brain in the best way possible and I was so impressed by that bite. This was such an unforgettable experience and the best place we've spent our anniversary haha. 10/10, take my money. To Sushi Toshi, I'll be thinking about you.

    The mysterious Sushi Niwa appeared in the Scotia Place food court late in 2015 and I have finally…read morehad the chance to sample the food. The menu on the boards is laid out very nice and easy to read and they also have sushi rolls prepared and ready to take out. Walking up it was the sushi that caught my eye- it looked very fresh and the portions were huge. I went with a katsu bento box with the dynamite rolls. I was surprised when they said the meal included either a free pop, water or miso soup. I opted for the drink and my whole meal came to just over $12. I thought this was fair and THEN I saw the portions they dished out. Holy man they are not stingy! I got a huge piece of pork cutlet with broccoli and rice. Then there was 4 different pieces of tempura (one of which is prawn which you NEVER get in a bento box unless its at a premium). The dynamite rolls were unreal. They were stuffed with goodness and topped with delicious sauces- the presentation was fantastic for the rolls. It also came with the traditional side of salad and the dressing was amazing. I seriously couldn't believe that I only paid 12 bucks for this amount of food. I took my meal back to my office and I had literally 5 people walk through the lunchroom probing at where I got my food from. Sushi Niwa, welcome to the neighborhood. I hope you stick around for a really long time and you already have a bunch of new customers coming for you tomorrow!
