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!

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.

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.

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.

This evening was my first time visiting a Korean (and Japanese) restaurant. My son suggested the…read moreArirang Restaurant because it was close to his apartment. Before heading out, we selected five items from the extensive menu, and chose to eat-in. When I handed the list of items we wanted, the hostess graciously suggested that the amount of food might be too much for two diners. My response was that the intent was to get to taste as broad a range of dishes possible, rather than a limited number based on just two of us. Turns out that had there been four of us dining, there was plenty of food to go around. We were the only Caucasians present. I think there were five other tables occupied, and the customers were relaxed regulars who obviously had a preference for this venue. I think the wait time for the food was about 15 - 20 minutes. As the dishes started arriving, we were issued chopsticks and spoons. Neither of us were experienced in the use of chopsticks, so forks were the first request. Maybe even knives, next time. The dishes were produced without any ostentatious flourish. All were hot and the dishes well heated and I found that out the hard way. I was impressed with the hostess. She was the only employee in the serving area, in addition to an unknown number employed in the kitchen. So she did the serving, the cleanups, answered the phone, and dealt with the take-our orders. She wore an engaging smile, and was gracious at all times. No lurking nearby as we ate, but she had a very good situational awareness of all that was taking place. There was also a "call" button on the table, which brought her immediately to us to answer a question. With her poise and skills, there are a lot of servers and hostesses I have encountered at other dining spots who could have learned from watching her for even a short time. The food surpassed any expectations. It was all excellent. I felt that the kimchee fried rice might not have delivered a full kimchee experience. And then I spotted a couple of small pieces of cabbage on one of the condiments plates and popped one the into my mouth. My sinuses suddenly felt as if they were on fire. My face grew hot, and I realized that this had to be the genuine item. Next time, my approach will be a bit more circumspect, but I will again partake. My son and I will be back, and will make sure that there are one or two others dining with us. This was an experience we both want to share with others.

The food is cooked fresh to order on the hibachi grill right in front of you. I stopped by Sukiyaki for a quick and healthy lunch. I ordered the Tofu Yakisoba ($7.89 plus HST), which was cooked hot and fresh on the grill after I paid. The good portion of Tofu Yakisoba filled the plate, which was very tasty and flavorful. The Yakisoba had a mix of fresh vegetables (carrot, broccoli, cabbage), bean sprouts, firm tofu pieces tossed with thick noodles in a zesty Asian sauce. I really enjoyed my lunch since I was very hungry from shopping around the mall for over an hour.

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.

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
