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.

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!

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

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.
