My BF is an alum of UWaterloo and said this was his favorite spot while he was there, so it was a…read moremust-stop on our trip. And I can see why it was his favorite. Love the vibes, very casual, and the server was really friendly too. She was super enthusiastic when our group requested sake bombs. This was my first time going to an AYCE izakaya, and it made me wish there was one where I live. The highlight was definitely the beef teriyaki - comes out sizzling hot. The chicken teriyaki felt sad in comparison lol. Sushi was pretty good quality as well. Melona bars to top off the night! Would come back here always if I was in the area.

Let me state up front that the food is great. It's fresh and there's a good selection…read more My reason for giving 3 stars is the choice of seating and the service. We went as a group of 7 with a reservation. For some reason, instead of seating a larger group at the stand alone (but combinable tables) at the front of the restaurant, they decided to sit us at a booth that holds six with the +1 in a chair in the pathway to the bathroom. Ordering food is done on 2 pieces of paper - one for sushi and one for all the other food. Unlike many other AYCE restaurants, there is no description of the food and there's no iPad to see a photo of what you might be ordering. It makes it very difficult to select, and the waiters are really not around to ask questions. They wanted all 7 of us to use the single paper. I explained to the waiter that I wasn't at a restaurant to do math and add up all the pieces and orders and go person by person. Could we possibly get a second set of papers so we could split the table into 2 groups? Yes, but with great difficulty. The food started to come. Overall, very fast from paper to food. So, where did they put the food? Right in front of me as one if the people sitting at the end. They would place plate after plate in front of me. Often with no explanation of what food it was. Apparently, it is the person at the end of the table's job to announce the food and identify the person(s) who it belongs to. So, with the number of dishes ordered, there was little opportunity for me to eat. There was also no place for me to place my food on the table in front of me. It was beyond frustrating. Along the way, they began forgetting to deliver food that was ordered and they began delivering food we did not order. I believe the restaurant should have placed us at the tables at the front of the restaurant. All large groups would benefit front this and all would be able to enjoy the food.

But fear not, their English is perfect as well! The menu itself is very straight-forward. Appetizers and sushi rolls, some nigiri, and a modest selection of entrees. We started with appetizers - chicken karaage and gindara (grilled miso black cod). Both were delicious! First time I had tried gindara - would absolutely get that again. For my entree, I ordered their katsu don, which is a deep fried pork cutlet served over mixed rice with veggies and fried egg with a dashi sauce. Very good! We split a couple of pots of green tea for drinks. The tea had a wonderful subtle flavor. For dessert, we tried red bean pancakes with vanilla ice cream. So good! The service was very good, and I found the price very reasonable. Would absolutely try this one again!

We came here for lunch on a Tuesday and ordered the salmon lover bento ($22) which also came with…read moremiso soup, the watami on king roll ($18) and the rice paper roll ($12). The salmon was fresh and we loved the uniqueness of the rice paper rolls, however I was a bit disappointed at it only coming with 4 pieces. The service was quick and friendly and we loved the atmosphere and ambiance of the restaurant. Definitely a great spot to check out in Uptown, though a bit more pricey than some other sushi spots.

We were a party of 9, and the restaurant was very accommodating and seated us in a private room…read morethat was really pleasant and had good seating. The bathrooms are really clean and I was impressed as they had tooth picks and many amenities. You should definitely order many appetizers and share them with your table. I personally ordered the 10 piece sashimi platter, where the chef chooses the sashimi options, and the wonton soup. The soup was amazing. There were all types of mushrooms, and they went really well with the delicious wontons. I would definitely get this again. Friends also ordered the miso soup and absolutely adored it, so I'm sure that's also worth a try. The sashimi was good, but I was a bit disappointed as the options were very basic. Seeing that the chef would choose the sashimi types, I thought this would be more exciting and I would be served adventurous sashimi as I have in other restaurants. However, these were very basic sashimi options and this is probably a set menu. Which confuses me on why they don't list the sashimi types on the menu instead to be transparent that this is nothing adventurous.

Was in Waterloo to grab lunch and randomly ended up discovering Ken Sushi House…read more The restaurant itself is simple and cozy, making it a comfortable place to sit down and catch up with friends. Service was friendly, and the food came out at a good pace even though it got a bit busy during our visit. We ordered a few items to share. The hwe dup bap (sashimi rice bowl) had fresh sashimi over rice with vegetables, it was light, refreshing, and a good choice if you're not looking for something too heavy. The chirashi bowl came with a nice assortment of sashimi and generous portions. The fish tasted fresh and there was a good variety. We also tried the salmon avocado roll, which was a classic, simple combination done well, and the spicy salmon roll, which had a mild kick and good texture overall. Overall, this was a solid spot for fresh sushi with good portion sizes, especially if you're looking for a casual place to eat in Waterloo.

Jinzakaya and Kinka Izakaya are Waterloo staples - 5 years ago, I savoured every chance I got to…read moreeat at these restaurants! Still amazing AYCE spots, but I'm probably just not built to take full advantage of the massive menu here. We came around lunch time and ordered the dinner menu, since there are a couple cannot-be-missed dishes that aren't on the lunch menu. Their strength compared to other AYCE restaurants is definitely their non-sushi options - the carpaccio, skewers, grilled shrimp, steamed egg, and beef roll with enoki mushroom are some of my favourites. I think the only thing that gives me pause is the price tag - $40.99 is a lot, especially for a student. You would have to really stuff yourself to make that value worth it. I do wish they had a couple of the chef favourites on the lunch menu so that people trying to have a cheaper meal could also try those items. Overall, it's probably still the best AYCE sushi in Waterloo. The quality is great and the dishes are tasty. Service was also pretty good, they have you write your order on a paper. I think one or two items were missed but we had no issue with following up on them.

Oh boy, no wonder this place has such a good star rating! Their service is great as they refilled…read moreour waters probably 20 times throughout the meal - yes, I inhale water like crazy haha. Their rolls are packed with flavor, and even though some of their rolls come in 8 pieces, they are not packed with rice. Their lunch menu does leave a lot to be desired but it is lunch after all so I'm hoping to be back sooner than later to give their dinner menu a try! -teriyaki salmon was moist, and filled with flavor -their takoyaki was A+ as well -spicy salmon maki is consistent with other places so I would recommend this too -their fried rolls are amazing and not too stuffed with rice but still also having a decent amount of filling! -there was this one delicious dragon roll that I cannot remember the name of but it had a mayo sauce topping it that gave it a kick - this roll was 10/10 and I would order it again and again 10000% you should make a reservation in advance because there was a wait even at 3PM on a Sunday - as a table of two, we only wait about 20 minutes but for bigger groups, you should definitely reserve ahead to be certain you'll get a table when you want one!

The rice was also a bit too oily. Overall, I did not feel very healthy eating and so left without finishing the meal.
