1 out of town guest + 1 huge sushi craving = another hidden gem in Spruce Grove! My husband isn't a fan of sushi so when my daughter comes to visit, I had the perfect opportunity to check out a new place in my area. This adorable little place is tucked in the Century Crossing strip mall. If you weren't looking for it you might just drive on by...big mistake. It's amazing! We were seated immediately and ordered a couple of Japanese beer. If you've never tried it, you're definitely missing out. They pair really well with the offerings on the menu. We settled on a few dishes to share: gyoza, asst. tempura and a few kinds of sushi (dynamite & dragon rolls I believe). I love that you can see the fresh & delicious ingredients displayed, and watch the Chef preparing them out in the open. Every dish was perfectly prepared with respect & care, and absolutely delicious! We ate every single morsel and barely stopped short of licking our plates clean. The decor was very lovely and surprisingly sophisticated in an understated way. Our server was very nice and helpful, especially in helping us choose our beer. I'm so impressed! Even though I will likely be eating alone I have plans to treat myself and come back again to try a few of the other menu offerings.

If your looking for some unreal sushi, Sakai Sushi Bar is the place to go! I have been a few times but this last time we went out to celebrate bosses day (for our truly deserving boss lady) I promise whatever you have you won't be disappointed! From beef tataki to deep fried mango and green tea ice cream!

Ginger beer. I was expecting something more like a Jamaican beer. Not quite but still good

Pretty good sushi and cooked food, good service and atmosphere. Tried a flight of sake this time around. Not really knowing anything about sake, enjoyed every single one of them. Highly recommend you try a flight next time. I let them pick out the sake. Full disclosure, I'm a little tipsy when I wrote this review

Super impressed! I've eaten here a few times and the food was very fresh, has excellent presentation and tastes really good. The service is always attentive, prompt and kind. They have a few intimate seating areas for smaller or bigger groups on the east side of their restaurant. They are in good standing with Alberta Health Services and have not had any violations in 2016 or 2017. The place is very clean and they seem very happy to accommodate dietary needs without making you feel uncomfortable for asking. All around this place makes me feel good.

Excellent food, prices, and services! We came during mid day, so it wasn't very busy yet.

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.

This has been sitting in my drafts for over a year so I'll finally post this review. I am from Los…read moreAngeles and was visiting Edmonton for a week, so I asked locals on Reddit where I should eat and so many people recommended Tokiwa Ramen! In particular, my good friend from U of A gave high praise for Tokiwa and said it was the best ramen in the city, so I decided to give it a go. The first day I went, it was a busy Saturday morning, I got there 20 minutes before opening, and there was still a line that I had to wait in, so keep that in mind and prepare for that, get there early enough if it's a Saturday morning and you want to avoid waiting in line. The ramen was amazing, so flavorful, so nuanced, and I never had ramen quite like it before, it was the Yuzu Shio. So delicious, the service and staff was amazing as well. The second day I went was on a weekday around 1 PM and there was no wait that time, I was seated immediately. I had the Spicy Goma, and it was so good that I still am thinking about it even now, even while surrounded by all the ramen shops here in LA. The Spicy Goma was my favorite because I have a knack for spicy foods. Definitely try Tokiwa Ramen, it was one of my favorite eats while I was in Edmonton.

That's great! It's the most expensive and impressive Japanese noodle restaurant I've ever been to…read more Unfortunately, there's no service because it's so busy. The noise and crowd are overwhelming.
