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!

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.

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.

Everything was quite superb. Well prepared, superbly presented and fantastic flavours. Quite faultless and, dare I say it, possibly the best sushi I have ever had and that includes in Japan. Fresh ingredients, very respectable size and a visual treat. Together with a 7oz sake, my share of the bill was $33, which isn't at all bad. The space is very plain, but if you're there for the food, it fully deserves its fifth star. A word too for our delightful server, who's good cheer always makes you feel welcome. Very highly recommended.

Hello, after having lived in Vancouver for many years and undoubtedly having become a sushi addict…read moreI have moved out east (Quebec) and since then I am still in search for decent sushi's. On our visit to Halifax I was looking forward to seeing if the sushis here would be taking advantage of the fresh crab meat and finally grant me with the Sushi epiphany I have been looking for for the past four years. This place came in highly recommended by two of our local friends and five stars Yelp so I decided to give it a shot. The place is well located in front of a lake in what seems to be a very nice neighbourhood. The staff greeted us in a friendly manner and kids felt welcomed. The place was clean too. We had some veggies tempuras, California rooks, circus rolls and I can't remember the last one. I must say I was a little bit disappointed with the sushi taste, the presented nicely, yes that is true but the taste was fairly neutral. The rice was well cooked and stuck to the chopsticks adequately but I would have expected a little more flavour out of the rolls themselves. The one we choose had a lot of batter spread on top, a little too much to my taste but it's ok as we could put it on the side but I would still expect a bit more flavour out of it. For instance a California roll in Vancouver was shredded crabsticks mixed in some sort of mayo (mayo might not be the term) and on the east coast most sushis have the crab stick just cut, not shredded no sauce with it. I thought that with all the fresh crab meat available here I could expect something a little more original. Even the other rolls with crab in them (not the California roll) did not bring out the crab flavour. As a result it is not a bad sushi restaurant at all but I would have expected for more from such a highly recommended and five stars rated restaurant.

Literally the worst sushi rolls I've ever had in my life (and that includes the rolls you buy from…read morethe grocery store). Was craving some sushi so ordered two rolls for take out, a spicy scallop and a spicy tuna roll. I have eaten in and taken out from here before and was generally satisfied with the food, recently heard from other people that the food here was going downhill and to order from the Halifax location instead. There was so much tempura bits in the roll they wouldn't even stay together. And my soya sauce because completely saturated with tempura that it looked more like a brown paste. Never again! Couldn't even eat it.
