An odd part of the decor is that the chairs are falling apart but remain comfortable. We started with a house salad that had fruit, and ginger type salad. It was crisp and crunchy and fresh. The miso soup was ok and soy sauce improved it. I loved the spicy prawns in chili aioli and chives. This dish is a surprise because it's covered in aioli and appears soggy, but has a surprise crunch to it that is an unexpected food delight. The grilled chicken teriyaki was a spin on a classic dish. The chicken was well grilled, and a little dry. The saffron and green beans were a nice touch. The sauce was not smothers over the chicken and was more of a dipping sauce. I also shared a tempura vegetables and it was well done . The cost of this place is surprising affordable and a good meal for the price. This place is worth visiting again.

Great for solo dining, date night, or a small group. I also really liked that they had reusable chopsticks. They were nice and sturdy plus more environmentally friendly (love!). The spicy items had just enough spice that you could enjoy them without needing to take a panting water break. Food: Spicy Salmon Roll (5/5) - Exactly as you'd hope. Pieces from the roll are the perfect size for a single bite. Lover's Roll (5/5) - Quality flavor combo that almost anyone will enjoy. Also not too big for a single bite. Spicy Salmon Nigiri (5/5) - YUM! This was unlike nigiri I am used to with a simple piece of fish on top of rice. This seemed more like an individual roll, wrapped in seaweed and nearly double the size of a piece from a normal roll. It was very yummy but slightly large, so you'll really have a mouthful if you eat it in one bite. Cajun Prawn Nigiri (5/5) - Same size as the Spicy Salmon Nigiri. I have never enjoyed prawns this way and would definitely order this again.

His favorite dish is the Aji tataki, which I have not tried, but plan to try next time! I was in town for a business trip as well and made it a point to go to Sushi Hiro because of the amazing things my friend said. I tried some sushi and their special mushroom soup. The next time I was in town for business, I brought my work crew and we sat at one of the big tables where you take your shoes off and sit into the ground. It was a very fun and unique experience and we had a lot of privacy at our table. We asked for our food to be selected for us and IT WAS AMAZING. Cannot go wrong with anything on the menu here.

There was no wait for our party of 4, but the restaurant was busy with lots of energy around 9pm. We were seated in a corner booth and had a nice view of the restaurant. There is also a small grocery area at the front, with Japanese favorites and some prepared foods to go. There was a nice selection of sushi, noodles, and meats, which we had some of each. I had a prime Rib and Angus skewers and both were excellent, but the magic sauce was the best on the angus. I had a bite of the tonkotsu ramen and the broth was bold, but not too heavy. Lastly, I had the bluefin tuna roll, which was a good size and so fresh, you could taste it. The blend of ingredients in this roll hit the spot. The service was great and we were in and out in under an hour.

In terms of food, I tried their Bluefin Tuna Roll, Creamy Scallop Roll, Chef's Choice Sashimi, Gyu Tan and Hotate Yakitoris. Overall, I'd give the food 8/10 - Bluefin Tuna Roll: 7.8/10: Real bluefin tuna, but overall reminds me of an avocado roll with bits of tuna, and not worth it - Creamy Scallop Roll: 7.5/10: Good flavour, but expected more like chop chop roll, especially given the price (else it's a California roll with scallop on top) - Chef's Choice Sashimi: 8.5/10: Good pieces of fresh sashimi - Gyu Tan Yakitori: 8.3/10: Good, slightly overpriced given the portion - Hotate Yakitori: 7.5/10: Nicely grilled but overpriced

That changed when I ordered 2 pieces of sushi a salmon and toro and a sashimi salad + hamachi jalapeño. I wish I ordered more sushi now because the rice was still warm and the fish tasted so fresh and soft and buttery! Literally melting in my mouth I would have never thought it was ever frozen. If you like hamachi definitely get the hamachi jalapeño this place makes it the best I always try to order this whenever I see it on a menu but their ponzu sauce and the fried sweet potato and crispy garlic bits on top was an explosion of perfect flavours in my mouth! Yum yum yum. Their sashimi salad was light and loaded with sashimi compared to other places. Their dressing is not heavy and overpowering so you can taste the fish still.
