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!

Considering how long it's been here and my love for sushi, it's extraordinary and dilatory of me…read morethat this is my first visit. Located in an unremarkable strip mall near Kearney Lake road, it has a delightful, bright, light and authentic interior. It features tables and booths, with a long chef's counter along one side and can accommodate quite large groups. Menu is comprehensive, with many traditional starters, simple rolls and some more luxurious Specials, bentos, combo's and ramen among the features. I went for my favourite appetizer, tako yaki, followed by the Fuji san special roll. No complaints at all, the roll was enormous and filled to the brim with fish and other delights. At eight pieces, it was almost a meal in itself. It really needs a group to select several options and share. Together with a small sake (served in the prettiest jug I've ever seen) and tip it all came to just north of $40. Definitely worth several more visits, especially with the cooler weather indicating ramen for lunch!

I heard the sushi was yummy from this place so I was trying to order sushi for pickup since I know…read morethe place gets busy at lunch time and my lunch time is restricted at work. I called the restaurant and I couldn't hear the lady in the phone properly so as any restaurant they ask you for your name to make the pickup order but I guess she didn't need that information and interrupted me saying "NO, NO, NO" and I went silence until I'm like hello? and then I can finally order my food and she goes it's gonna take 15 minutes BYE and since I expected the order to take longer than that I tell her wait wait I am not going to be able to come in 15 minutes and she very rudely replied to me saying then you come here and order, ok? What kind of costumer service is that? I was so excited to try this sushi place but now I am not going to order anything because of the arrogant and rude attitude of that woman which left me with a bitter taste.

I'll definitely be going back.

Really disappointing experience at Wasabi Sushi. Most of the food we were served was cold or…read morelukewarm at best when it should have been hot. The chicken skewer was especially concerning. It was dried out, tasted off, and I didn't feel comfortable eating it. I told our waitress that the chicken tasted off, but she became defensive and insisted there was nothing wrong with it because they had been selling it all day. They remade one chicken skewer, which came out hot, but the rest of the food remained cold or barely warm. We barely ate our meals because of the quality of the food. When it came time to deal with the bill, the waitress was confrontational and initially offered to take only a small amount off despite how little we had eaten. We ultimately left $20 toward the bill. As we were leaving, the waitress yelled at us, "Don't come back." Needless to say, we won't. I will say the sushi chef was much nicer and seemed genuinely apologetic about the situation, which I appreciated. I don't expect every restaurant experience to be perfect, but I do expect concerns about food quality--especially chicken that tastes off--to be taken seriously and handled professionally. Unfortunately, that wasn't our experience here.

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.

Sushi Jet is what would happen if sushi was invented in Halifax: enthusiastically fried, generously…read moresauced, and paired with things that make you tilt your head and wonder "why." I'm not saying anyone comes to an all-you-can-eat Nova Scotia sushi joint expecting an authentic Japanese experience, but this place takes a creative interpretation of the genre...let's call it sushi-inspired. Case in point: the fruit situation. Strawberries and bananas aren't exactly traditional sashimi accompaniments, but if you've ever thought "you know what this salmon needs? Fruit," then you're in the right place. Personally, the only fruit that I believe belongs in sushi is an avocado. I sampled an ambitious cross-section of the menu: hand rolls, nigiri, regular rolls, tempura, soups, curry, short ribs, weekend specials. The real adventure comes with anything sporting an action-movie name like "dynamite" or "volcano"--I discovered these translate to "swimming in sweet, creamy sauce." By the end of the meal, even if you skip dessert, everything starts tasting like dessert. Your seared nigiri arrives pre-glazed with creamy mayo and sauce, as if they're really committed to the theme. The only item that was safe from the sugar was the sashimi. That said, the service was genuinely great. Food arrived quickly, and the staff were as sweet as the sauces--friendly, attentive, and clearly taking pride in what they do. At nearly $40 per person, you could hit an izakaya for a different experience, but if you're the type who thinks donair sauce is a food group and condensed milk improves everything, this might just be your spot.

Do. NOT. eat. Here. On Thursday, a couple of friends and I…read morewere downtown, hungry, and had heard only things about this place (We didn't read the reviews before going). The beginning of our evening was okay - the server was a little awkward - but we got our orders placed, and the first few dishes came quickly. After we finished the food in front of us we noticed we were still waiting on a couple things (All of our sushi). It made sense that it would take some time, and we were okay with waiting, but after TWO HOURS and countless attempts to get someone over it was very frustrating. We made eye contact with a female waiter who stared back several times and once even shook her head at us and still didn't come. We attempted to request it on the tablet for the check because we were getting pretty tired and just wanted to leave at that point. Still nothing. It was the same when we called for water. When we finally got someone's attention, we were hungry again because it had taken SO LONG that we still asked for the sushi we were missing. The woman brought us of the things we requested, even after showing her the order history on the tablet. Around this time, we had all agreed that after eating we felt nauseous, and one of my friends even had to go to the bathroom to puke it up. The bathrooms smelt TERRIBLE, and there was paper towel strewn about the floors and sink. Overall we sat there for about 4 hours. We finished eating around an hour and a half, waited two, and then waited another 45 minutes for our check after that. Makes me sick. Staff is awkward, unwelcoming, and rude. Don't even get me started on the cups. Would not recommend it to a rat in the alleyway. Not worth the $45 dollars. Save yourself some time and go to Mizu.
