Amazingly fresh and unbelievably delicious authentic Japanese preparations. We recommend getting your order in early on Fridays when the place is really hopping, though the food comes out at a good pace no matter when you go. The dine-in space is clean, comfortable and not noisy. You might even be lucky enough to catch live music on a weekend evening. If you're looking for sushi in Halifax, go to Ko-Doraku first!

What nice staff! The kitchen and front staff thanked us when we left. How nice is that?…read more The food was great. I'd never had a sweet potato and avocado roll before, but I tried it and loved it. What a great taste and texture combination! Their location is slightly odd (lower level of a semi-mall -- you can get to the restaurant from the street or from the mall's main entrance). But they have nice booths and tables in one area, and it pretty much felt like a regular restaurant in that section. The lighting was perfect, and it wasn't noisy either.

Despite it was rather late hours, they were busy. I ordered their Tonkotsu ramen. It was good ramen...and I was glad that I stopped by. Tonkotsu broth tasted very good and soup was served "hot" in temperarure. Chashu Pork was nicely cooked - tender and tasty. There were plenty of toppings - nori piece, scalions, naruto, corn, wakame, bean sprouts and half-cooked eggs. I wish there was some bamboo shoots though. I selected wavy noodles instead of straight noodles. It was only thing that did not impress my tongue. Overall, their Tonkotsu ramen was good.

The mini kamikaze may be one of my favorite rolls. Deepfried, cream cheese... how can you go wrong? Lots of parking available, but it's a busy lot as it's in Dartmouth Crossing.

Focused on fresh fish…read more Atmosphere: There's a small sushi counter/bar and a few tables inside for the winter, and a smaller patio for outdoor seating in the summer as well. It is definitely very cozy, but everyone is friendly, polite, and professional. Food: The sushi I've had here is some of the best and freshest in Canada, especially since I'm based out of Toronto. Everything is prepared quickly and there's not even a hint of fishy taste, with the correct temperature for serving as well. Presentation of the sushi also looks very clean and nicely shaped, and you couldn't ask for anything more for this price point. The miso soup had a nice flavour and is richer than what you get at other joints that tend to be more powdery. The tempura were fried perfectly to be delicate and the batter was not too thick either, which was appreciated. Service: The server was warm and out of the way, which I prefer. My order was taken promptly and the food came quickly and well prepared. Will be coming time and time again

However; my last three orders from them have been terrible and costly. The first time, I ordered the king crab, which was markedly more expensive and received imitation. I ordered tuna belly and they asked to replace it with tuna with no compensation for the difference in cost after I agreed. I swept this under the rug. The next order; as an appetizer I ordered softshell crab appetizer, they sent the roll, again I swept it under the rug. This third order was the straw that broke the camels back: I'm done. My order compared to what I got, is in in the pictures. Ordered spicy salmon roll - got Tuna Maki. Ordered Negi-Hamachi (suppose to be yellow tail and green onion), got a salmon roll. Not maki with avocado or even tempura bits; just rice and salmon. Vast cost difference. I got the Alaskan roll I ordered, but that is mine and the other two are my kids rolls, so I clearly won't eat in front of them. I'm done. Something is seriously wrong there and at this point it's a waste of money.

Newish place off the roundabout on Larry Uteck, seems to be an offshoot of a place in Dartmouth…read more Principally geared for the takeout/delivery trade, the kitchen takes up roughly half the space, with room for 20 covers or so at tables or in the window. It's counter service and not that quick, based on this, my first visit. The takoyaki were very decent, sadly the yaki udon with beef was rather disappointing. Quite bland, some of the beef was chewy and the vegetables likewise lacking in flavour, especially the corn. Worth another visit to check out the sushi, though it looks like the prep' is done elsewhere.
