Sushi Jet is what would happen if sushi was invented in Halifax: enthusiastically fried, generously sauced, 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. read more

Do. NOT. eat. Here. On Thursday, a couple of friends and I were 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. read more

3.5 stars. Pretty decent AYCE sushi joint in the area. There wasn't anything super outstanding to call out other than the mackerel - I found that the mackerel tasted fresher and tastier than the mackerel I usually have in AYCE sushi places in the greater Toronto area. For ambiance, I really liked how spacious the inside of the restaurant was. Near the entrance, there is a nice fish pond with dry ice, and there are various tables throughout which are spread out and not too cramped. The restaurant is accessible as there is an elevator! My only complaint would be the ordering system in the iPad. Some menu items that normally would come by piece (i.e. 1 piece per order) would come in larger numbers. Definitely watch out for this when ordering! We made the mistake of ordering one too many tempura :'D read more

Staff were so kind as to rush my order as website had quoted 15min but after order was submitted it said over 40minutes and the nephews were Not gonna wait that long. Beef teriyaki was 10/10. Gyoza was 10/10. Mango roll was 10/10. Had better California rolls. Chicken Thai See-ew noodles were not big fat rice noodles but lots of chicken. Green Dragon Roll was 9/10 not my favorite but still really good. Avacado and cucumber roll was chosen for the kids and they liked it. Overall great place for sushi read more

I've been here twice and the service was warm and friendly. The food was decent, I had the all you can eat dinner and lunch. Definitely go for dinner instead of lunch, there are more options. The highlight was the ice cream, ask for ice cream at the end of lunch/dinner!!! It's so good. The dim sum cakes were amazing and the sashimi was fresh. I prefer Mizu though because they have an unlimited salad and fruit bar. The vibes were very relaxing and I like the decor. Most times the robots deliver your food and they're really cute. read more

Overall very satisfying ayce sushi lunch in downtown Halifax! The nigiri and sashimi were good, with the torched red snapper topping the leaderboard. The special rolls, however, were really.. nothing special. A ton of rice and not enough fish to make them really satisfying. I would skip special rolls and save space for more nigiri, sashimi, and extras. Service was quick, and the employees were kind and accommodating. A cute and polite robot might bring some of your orders to the table. If you take away one thing from this review - dessert people, get the mango sticky rice. read more

It's wheelchair accessible!! They have an elevator designated for wheelchairs! It's a very gorgeous place, with a huge fountain in the front. Servers were super nice and they even have robots to deliver your sushi if the waiters are busy with something else. I ordered the Peggy's Cove roll and the Rainbow roll. Unfortunately, I thought the sauce on the Peggy's Cove roll was a bit too sweet and not for me, but nonetheless the sushi was fresh and tasty. My friend ordered the black dragon roll which was super delicious. If I ever visit Halifax again I will definitely return! read more

A friend recommended this place to me and it did not disappoint! My family and I chose to go with the All You Can Eat lunch menu and I was pleased to see the large variety of items we could choose from. The place is very spacious, well-decorated and has great service. There was constantly a waiter or waitress walking by to take away our empty plates and were all very friendly. Everything I tried was really good: the rolls, the sushi, the miso soup, the pad thai, and also the fried banana. My only complaint would be the rice used for the rolls and the sushi, which was not sticky enough and would sometimes make the roll/sushi fall apart. It could have been worse but it definitely affected the overall taste of the sushi. Regardless, I would highly recommend the place, which had a wide range of options to choose from and had really good service. read more

Loved the look of the restaurant, the robot strolling around was cool, and I felt that all the staff was great. Food for the All-You-Can-Eat was hit or miss, but there were definitely lots of tasty things and we left extremely stuffed and happy. read more

WOW!! Walking into Sushi Jet is amazing... real "up town"... The place has tons of parking... there's decent seating...Booths and tables... We ordered to "All You Can Eat" Lunch...and I have to say this, it's worth every penny! The food arrived and we were amazed at the portions in comparison to Mizu, a place we USED to frequent... Their portions are generous, and served in record time... The variety on the "all you can eat" menu is far better than the rest of the places we used to go to... and it ISN'T all dumped on your table at once, like some of the Sushi places... You don't feel like you have to stuff yourself in a hurry, PAY and go.... and they have a Robot that delivers food...sounds like Mickey Mouse... We go there frequently!! Totally enjoy the freshness... and If you order directly off of the menu, the Sushi that arrives is "showmanship" quality...beautifully presented! read more

I left this review on GMB: "I ordered $130 worth of sushi via Skip The Dishes. All 4 sushi pizzas were cold and the sushi was smothered in globs of spicy mayo. I had to wipe off the excess mayo. :(" and provided a picture of the mayo globs. They replied to the review, asking us to call. We called, they hung up on us 3 times. After the person on the phone laughed, we asked (several times) for the owner's number. As I called the owner I realized this policy of laughing at paying customers is trickled down from the top. This owner on the phone blamed Skip the Dishes for the terrible customer service we've received and when I explained that Skip isn't to blame for the mayo coated all over everything he told me that's how it's supposed to be. So i guess don't order from them unless you're low on spicy mayo at home. When I told him his answers were not satisfactory, he too laughed at me. This is the worst customer experience I've had in a long time. At least we can go to corporate and complain but meanwhile, order from any other Sushi Jet than the Spring Garden location. The other local Sushi Jets we've tried have been wonderful. PS: I don't understand why they asked us to call, just to hang up several times, and laugh and tell us it's supposed to be like that. read more

With an impromptu trip to Halifax to purchase a camera lens, we decided to hit the city up for some Japanese cuisine. This would be only my second time out with sushi, and I must say I am pleasantly surprised with the amount of flavour and texture in the rolls here. We were promptly seated, waited a bit long for drinks and for our order to be picked up and prepared. A great experience over all, would recommend read more

Sushi Jet - Very Good taste - Sushi Bars Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

I am a fan. I love the fact that their facebook page says they provide "decent" sushi which is about as accurate a description as I've ever read about an all you can eat Sushi place. Their sushi is decent. The all you can eat price has gone up from 15$ in 2015 to 23$ in 2023 which seems just about right. I've never gone away hungry and I've never gotten sick. Nice selection of Japanese beers Asahi, Kirin, Sapporo. The food is simple and nice. Im a fan of their mackeral, salmon, the edamame and a lot of their tempura choices. It's a simple recipe, raw fish and like barabacue : Meat and Fire, hard to mess up. Keep it clean, keep it fresh, keep it coming. read more

Went out for AYCE. Meat dishes were definitely the highlights of our meal. We got the thinly sliced beef dish that was too die for. The extremely tender beef was bathed in a well-seasoned, slightly citrusy marinade and topped with slices of onions. The sushi and rolls however, were not up-to-par. There was too much rice and not enough filling/toppings. We also ordered the wonderful rolls which had crab, cream cheese and pieces of bananas in them - which I found was a little strange but wasn't too bad. The service was quick despite it being a full Sunday night and there were a number of people waiting to be seated. The servers came by several time to check if we have enough water. It was overall a good experience. You get a lot of food for what you pay for; but in terms of quality, there are certainly better places for sushi in the city. read more

Busy Sunday noon with a group - expect delays. However, the wait was forgotten about once the meals were being devoured; honestly very good. I had the tofu teriyaki, which was a very generous and delicious portion for only 10$! Absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend it. As a vegetarian, there were very limited options (which is why I opted for teriyaki). It is definitely worth going back for, though! read more

One of the worst restaurant experiences iv ever had. I did unlimited sushi and every time I wanted to order food it took twenty minutes of waiting and alot of waiving to get a server. They got my order wrong and then went through a list of the items I ordered trying to show me how wrong I was but they got half of it wrong. Also sushi wasn't good. Only reason it's not 1 star is cause iv been here before and it was mildly better. Do not come here. read more

No one expects all you can eat sushi to be amazing... We ordered a few things that were unrecognizable as the item listed on the menu. Chicken don buri - soaked in Chinese 5 spice?

We chose this sushi spot, on our one night in town from out of province. We were intrigued after seeing the robot delivering sushi on a TikTok. That being said we left after our dinner fairly disappointed. We arrived at 945pm (the restaurant closes at 11). We enjoyed the all you can eat ordering as it's not something we have where we're from... that being said just after 10 pm after we got seated, settled, and began ordering and just started eating our starters, an employees came over to tell us that they would be closing early at 1030 and that we had until 1010 to order the rest of our food - it's was 10:05 when we were told this. We had to rush to figure out what to finish ordering and rushed to finish eating. We were still charged $40 per person, which was the most disappointing part of it all as we did not get to enjoy our food without the stress of hurrying to eat and rush to figure out what else we needed to order. Although the food was good, we were disappointed in the service and felt as if we did not get our moneys worth for both the service and food. After the three of us paying $150 total - we had one round of sushi. read more

This restaurant is actually one of the worst sushi places in Halifax. The service was below sub-par. The waitress would never come check up on us, our water didn't get refilled, food we ordered never came out, and we had to walk to the front desk to about it. In one particular instance, we had ordered food that never came to us, we asked the waitress whether or not the food was coming out or not. She replied that she was going to go check. After waiting 20 minutes and her never coming back, we had to walk to the front desk where they told us that all our food was served. read more

Very nice sushi but NO tips for its poor services! I came here 3 times. I really like its meal and was taste like Japanese food (I lived in Japan for 8 years and I know Japanese meal well). The price is resonable too (all you can eat 2hr 22.99$). I give 3.5-4 stars for food. However, customer services were not friendly. ( I came here 3times but I always feel they were rude and not happy). I just could not leave tips and I would give -1 or 0 star for services here. I worte a comment here because I think they have a good meal and hope they can train their waitresses. First time I came here, I had all you can eat. I had impression that they didnt cut the fish properly and looked messy. However, it tasted very nice. Last time I came here they have improved and the sushi was pretty. Fish was bigger and smaller rice. I also tried oyako don and tempura don. It was good, tasted like what i had before in Japan. Actually I am always happy with their meal. However, customer services are super poor. Mainly, there are three young girls (waitresses). Two of them were not smile at all, angry face, and talked with high tone (not nice at all). They whisked away my soup while 1/2 of the soup was not finished. She did it twice (my friend's soup and mine). She should have asked us before they took it away (i'm not sure it is part of their culture but if you go to Japan, definetly it is very rude behaviour). She forgot to give us soy souce but when we asked her, she put it on table (not friendly way). When we asked about ice cream, she has no idea what the flavour is. We wanted to pay and stood up and closed her way. She said "EXCUSME, EXCUSME!" ( not friendly tone). Like other normal candian restaurants, waitress will come and ask how we feel etc but here they didnt do it at all. I could understand sometimes it is busy and when we are tired, it is hard to actually smile or be friendly. But I came here three times, same waitresses and same behaviours. I'm sorry but I dont think they deserve TIPS. read more

For the price, you can certainly get a lot of food, but none of it was particularly tasty. Soup is extremely salty, as is the seaweed salad. The sushi was probably the worst of all of them, with underseasoned plain rice (still warm too). The rolls were large and chunky and mostly rice, and most were 8 pieces per order, which prevents you from getting a variety. There is no sashimi in the ayce menu, and dinner price is 1 dollar higher on fridays and weekends but no change in menus. The tempura was decent. The salmon belly was underseasoned and deep fried??? The grilled fish tasted of baking soda, as did the fried fish. The squid was extremely salty. The beef ribs were probably the item i enjoyed the most, and the thing i would most recommend. Even the ice cream is a bit gritty. But the staff are very friendly, so that's a plus. Service was decently fast, mostly because the restaurant was largely empty. Come here if you're hungry and care more about quantity vs quality I guess. read more

Most of the other reviews have been very negative and I am not sure if I have gone on good nights or there has been a management change but I have only had positive experiences with Sushi Jet. yes it is pricey but sushi tends to be on the more expensive side normally. I would recommend getting the all you can eat when you are hungry enough because there are so many cool dishes to try. And if you are looking for descriptions just ask for a normal menu because they have the descriptors. Overall I like sushi jet, it may be hit or miss but its always little bit busy so it must be worth a try at least. read more

If I could give zero stars for my experience I would. Ordered mixed set b. salad that came with it was sad shredded cabbage and dry. Set was supposed to include unagi roll but gave me yam roll instead. Wouldn't have even been super upset until I called to tell them of the mix up to be told that none of their sets come with unagi. And that I was wrong! As u can tell on the menu it clearly says it does. No offers to make the situation right. Terrible customer service. Would never go back. read more

Sushi Jet - Mixed set b. Clearly says has unagi. And actually none of their sets come with yam roll!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

This has to have been not only the worst sushi restaurant, but worst restaurant I've ever been to in my entire life. The staff was incredibly rude, unresponsive, and unhelpful. The sushi served that did not stink of rotten flesh was disgusting, drenched in sauce, and 99% rice. I would not recommend anyone eat at this place. As a matter of fact, I explicitly tell people to avoid it of they value their life and their tastebuds. I was literally considering calling the police because I was sure that this place was trying to poison me, which as far as I'm aware is a crime. Again, I need to make this clear, we were served rotten fish. Avoid at all costs, make a complaint to the health inspector. Do anything besides going to eat at sushi jet. P.S. If you're unfortunate enough to have eaten here recently. You can pick up deworming pills in the pet aisle of Walmart or the Superstore. read more

Consistently good. Their sushi doesn't have too much rice like Genji does. Their selection is a little small but since it's affordable and AYCE you can't go wrong. The worst part is the service. They never tell you what you ordered, they hardly refill your water/drinks, and if you get something you didn't order then you either suck it up and eat it, complain or pay extra for it. Service - 1 Food - 4 Affordable - roughly 4 Variety - 3 Accessible - 5 read more

Sushi Jet is now located beside Shoppers on Spring Garden. I like that the new location is on a busier street since we're more likely to walk by it and be reminded we've been saying "let's try that!" for months now. We had wanted to go to the old location, but it always slipped our minds when we were downtown. Anyways! The two of us walked in the other day and were seated right away even though it was busy. After being seated, we were ignored for a long time even though there were waitresses everywhere. Finally, we were brought water and then we placed our order. It's all you can eat so all you have to do is write down the codes from the items you want and also write down how many orders of each you'd like. We ordered cautiously since it was our first time and we didn't know what the portion sizes were like. You can order as many times as you like so cautious is definitely the way to go since you have to pay for any leftover food. The food started arriving fairly fast, even though it was pretty busy. Everything was nice and hot and full of flavor. I'm not really a fan of seafood (other than crab and shrimp) so I was impressed with their vegetable sushi selection as well as the fact that they offered beef and chicken teriyaki rolls. I also really liked that they offered broccoli tempura since a lot of places don't and I LOVE it! One thing that was slightly disappointing to me was that they don't offer tonkatsu, but they do have chicken katsu so I can't really complain. As for the quality of the food, it was quite a bit better than I was expecting! We always eat at Happy Sushi (the other all you can eat sushi place that's farther away) but the rolls at Sushi Jet are better, in my opinion. They were well made and bigger than your typical all-you-can-eat rolls. We also ordered the yakitori, teriyaki, spring roll, and much more and everything was great - nothing tasting of quick, easy, pre-made garbage that buffet/all-you-can-eat places sometimes try to slip in. I liked that dessert was included and you could pick between banana tempura and ice cream. I found it odd that a Japanese restaurant offered cotton candy ice cream as an option, but it's one of my favorites so I'm not complaining! As I mentioned early on, service wasn't really the greatest. If it's your first time and you're not sure how to order or have questions about any of the options I'm not sure you'd be helped. We actually had a question when we started to order and our server quickly turned and walked away so we decided to just risk ordering without knowing the answer. No one checked-in (or really said anything to us until the very end of our meal) to make sure everything was tasting ok, even though they were at our table many times to drop off more food. Despite the below-average service, I'd still say this is a really great sushi option. I'd even say I like it better than Happy Sushi, which I've been going to for years. Definitely would recommend! The price for lunch was $16.99 each...more than fair! read more

This place's sushi is super addictive. I'm glad rice digests so fast otherwise I would have exploded! It's really easy to go overboard and order too much, and then eat too much as well. These are all good signs though, because the rolls are great. The service isn't bad either. I don't think the all-you-can-eat menu is necessarily better value for money than if you just went a la carte, plus I think you have more to choose from if you pick right off their menu. read more

Poor quality sushi. Halifax has much better to offer then sushi jet! There were bones in my salmon sashimi. They didn't use proper sushi rice, and the rice they did use was tasteless like they didn't add sugar or vinegar. Service for all you can eat was ok at first, but after the first round of food they fell off and didn't even come back to the table for the empty plates. Sat for about 20 minutes to see if they would come back for my second order but they did not. read more
