The moment you walk in, one detail that stood out to me was the Mahayana Buddhist altar blessing the owner and visitors with health and prosperity. As a Taiwanese person, that instantly felt relatable and oddly comforting--like being welcomed into someone's home. Although the restaurant is Vietnamese-owned, the Japanese food here is absolutely top-notch. I've visited three times so far, and the quality of their bento boxes has been impressively consistent every single time. My personal favorite is the chicken katsu bento. The chicken is incredibly fresh and flavorful. Unlike many places where chicken katsu can end up greasy or heavy, Ikigai's version is perfectly crispy and airy on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside. Paired with their tangy, addictive katsu sauce, every bite just makes you want the next one immediately. I'm also a big fan of their maki rolls and tempura. You can genuinely taste the care and quality in the food--even the side salad and miso soup feel thoughtfully prepared. Considering the quality, the prices are very reasonable, and the portions are generous. The bento box is around $20 if you pay cash, which feels like a great deal. The space itself is cozy, spotless, and welcoming, and the service has always been excellent. I genuinely love this place and will definitely keep coming back.

Also tried the lobster roll which was not too special, it was ok The mocktail one wad the yakult strawberry and one was the yuzu ginger . The yakult (pink drink) was a bit too sweet. The Yuzu was good, the ginger covered the yuzu taste but the sour taste was very refreshing.

Food 5/5 Service 5/5…read moreAmbiance 4/5 Food: We had lunch here. I ordered the cowboy roll, red dragon roll, sashimi appetizer & a palgong tea to go (lychee ade). Hubby ordered the fish & karage. We shared the cowboy roll. Cowboy roll is one of my fave rolls at this restaurant. It was delicious as usual & the red dragon was great as well. I tried a piece of hubby's fish katsu & it was also wonderful. The batter was light & it didn't seem oily at all (one of my pet peeves for deep fried food). I even tried a piece of the chicken karage but I didn't enjoy it. Hubby said it was really good though. Service: We had the same waitress we've had to many times before. I can't remember her name. But she's always really nice & gets our orders in quickly. So the food comes with a good pace as well. The quality is always great in my opinion. Ambiance: The place needs a little of a spruce up on the lower level. The ladies washroom is looking a little worn out. Everything is clean though. The look of the restaurant is dark woods & dark upholstery. All of the tables are booths which I like. It makes a nice cozy atmosphere. We continue to come back because we love this place & it's consistently great!

Plenty of rolls, hand rolls, grilled meats, and even some dim sum favorites. Service is quick, and sometimes a robot rolls up with your food, which honestly makes the experience even more fun. The lunch menu includes options like beef short ribs and bulgogi, but the salmon rose was my personal favorite. Every roll had a well balanced ratio of fish, filling, and rice. Nothing skimpy, nothing overloaded. The hand rolls were generously filled too. The dessert area is a nice bonus. There are puddings and ice cream, but the standout is the shaved ice station. Building our own shaved ice with syrups, ice cream, and even adding pudding on top was unexpectedly fun. Lunch and a DIY dessert moment? Say less.

I've actually passed by this sushi shop many times around the neighbourhood but never have tried them before. Reviews online also indicate that the food is decent and well-liked. I opted for try VIPS Sushi as I was scrolling through a delivery app. I can't speak on the service of the place but can only comment on the food. I did get a combo order, 9 nigiri sushi and 12 pieces of assorted sashimi. I also got a spicy salmon roll as well (each roll comes with 6 pieces). Food wise, the combo order I got was great! I got some delicious salmon sashimi pieces. The sushi rice was made well. I thoroughly enjoyed the set and had leftovers. I also took a few bites of the spicy salmon and it's all you could ever ask for. Overall, delicious food and would definitely order food from them again!

The service was great and our waitress was super attentive, friendly, and really on top of everything.

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.

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.

They had us seated at a 4 seater bench section, we got seated just had to wait about 5mins. The place has high top tables, bench seated tables as well. The restaurant is on the dimmer side, lit enough but not a bright place. Food prices at this place is pretty good. You can get bento combos, sushi combos, along with other nigiri, hand rolls and rolls to choose from. What's good here is you have the option of getting only shrimp tempura for the tempura option. Huge plus for many. I ordered the premium salmon lover which is not bad. Tasted fine. They usually put wasabi inside the nigiri so just a heads-up. The only downside which is a pet peeve to me at sushi places is they cut a THICK salmon sashimi for both mine and my stepmother's order. Not pleasant to eat. I would come here again. Rating 4/5

A dynamite roll & red dragon roll. Let me tell you these rolls are huge! I couldn't finish it because it was so big. The taste was great. Service was also very good. The atmosphere here is laid back & friendly. That's exactly the kind of vibe I like. While I was there some people came in to order take out. I hope this place is busy enough to stay in business because I really like this place. I think this the owners or people who work here are good people. They have always been so nice to me. Their washrooms are always clean too. I hope they stay open for years to come. I'm going to keep eating here!
