They offer rolls, sashimi, torched sushi, additional cuts of packaged raw fish (i.e. salmon belly, collar, ikura) and market items such as drinks, snacks, and Japanese condiments. The dining area is a decent size with several individual tables and shared benches. I ordered the deluxe sashimi set with an additional sushi rice. The set came with 2 large botan ebi (so sweet and delicious, head on), uni on a shiso leaf (a little fishy even though it's usually my favourite), salmon belly, yellowtail, snapper, and scallops. Each piece of fish was so thick that the meal was incredibly filling for one. For $32/18 pcs, it was a great deal, especially for the premium cuts of fish and the size.

The fish was high quality, fresh, and well-balanced, and even the wasabi was noticeably good. The prices are also quite reasonable considering the quality, which makes this a great option for premium sushi without an overly premium price. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming as well. One thing to keep in mind is that the sushi can take some time to prepare, so I'd highly recommend ordering in advance if you're picking up. Otherwise, expect a bit of a wait. Overall, great quality, great value, and excellent service. I'll definitely be coming back!

This didn't sit well with us, so we had looked to Yelp to find another venue and Nichiban Sushi 4 U popped up. I never heard of Nichiban before, but I instantly recognized the location as another favourite food joint is located adjacent to them (Fat Ninja). We decided to give them a try. I can't say we weren't a bit hesitant when we arrived as they are located at the back of the plaza, away from the limited street frontage the plaza could afford. However, I can say with confidence that we were very happy we ate at Nichiban! The service was great, the prices were excellent and most importantly, the food was spectacular! The ingredients were very fresh and full of flavour! The bento box I ordered was well prepared and the food was just right. The chicken katsu was extremely tasty and the gravy was delicious! I loved the tempura: just enough batter to be flavourable and not overwhelming. I could actually see the vegetables underneath the batter, unlike other restaurants that simply oversaturate the batter. The sushi plates were also very good; the sashimi was ultra fresh and the presentation was great! Someone ordered the beef teriyaki bento box and everything was just right! Overall, I would highly recommend Nichiban to anyone who adores Japanese cuisine - excellent tasting food and great pricing will make you a believer!

Came here with some friends for the omakase special meal…read more Such a lovely overall standard omakase experience and meal. The highlight for me was probably the set of four starter appetizers, they were flavourful, delicately prepared and perfect way to start the meal. I liked the slightly pickled dish with cucumbers the best. We also had sushi prepared with fresh seafood. The rice was probably my favorite compared to other places I've been. It was perfectly seasoned rice, warm and cooked to have just the right texture, not overcooked and not undercooked. The rice held up well when picked up by hand and complemented the flavours of the fish. Finished the meal with a matcha flavored pudding flan type dessert which had deep matcha flavours. If you're a fan of matcha, you'd probably enjoy it too. All in all, the meal was enjoyable, the torched tuna sushi was probably my favorite sushi of the set and my least favorite was the egg/eel, I was expecting a sweet egg at the end so it unexpected.

We added miso and side salad for added cost, but it was well worth it. Also took home a sushi for 2 and some sashimi (cut to order) and this dinner was also exceptional.

The space is bright, spacious, and finally offers something I've always wished for -- a proper sit‑in area where you can enjoy your food on the spot or order takeout to go. Beyond the dine‑in option, the selection here is fantastic. The Japanese grocery section is impressively stocked, with everything from pantry staples to harder‑to-find items. They even carry a wide range of sake, plus other Japanese alcoholic and non‑alcoholic beverages, which makes it easy to pick up something special for dinner at home. My personal highlight is the sashimi‑grade fish. The quality is consistently excellent, and I love packing up a few pieces to make my own donburi at home. It's fresh, clean, and honestly rivals what you'd get at many restaurants. If you're a fan of Japanese food -- whether you're cooking, snacking, or dining in -- this new Taro's Fish location is absolutely worth the visit.

We came here because of the reviews on Google, and like a lot of people have mentioned, parking is…read morefairly difficult. There are only about 4 to 5 spots in the front, and while there are some smaller plaza parking lots nearby and another parking lot across the street, most of the spots are marked for whatever store they're in front of, so park at your own risk. Upon entering, there aren't that many tables either. There isn't a lot of room for bigger groups but they can merge some of the tables together. The biggest issue for us was definitely how long and uneven the wait for the food was. We ordered at 12:15 PM and got our salads about 10 minutes later, but after that, the food came out pretty sporadically. The first actual dish didn't come until 12:44 PM, which was the tempura from the two-person set. Parts of the other meals and the rest of the two-person set slowly came out between 12:46 and 12:49 PM. The 30-piece sashimi and sushi set didn't arrive until 1:04 PM, almost 50 minutes after we ordered, and the actual salmon teriyaki which was just a small salad, salmon teriyaki and steamed rice from the bento was the last thing to come out at 1:09 PM, about 54 minutes after ordering. By that point, we had already finished the entire two-person set and another person had finished their udon and sushi combo. It's just not ideal when you're eating with a group and some people haven't even gotten the main part of their meal while everyone else is already finished. It also didn't seem like it was only our table. The table in front of us had a pasta order that seemed to have been missed. We heard the server say it was about to be ready, and then heard someone from the kitchen respond with something along the lines of, "There's another order for it?" So I do think the timing and communication between the kitchen and servers is something they need to improve on. We were served our salads first, but didn't get our miso soups until we asked for them. They were planning to serve them with the meals, but since we had already been waiting so long, we ended up just asking if we could have them first. For food, I got the two-person lunch set for $52, which came with a large veggie udon, 9 pieces of sashimi, 6 pieces of sushi, an additional 6 pieces of a classic roll, and tempura. We chose the spicy scallop maki for our roll. The sushi and sashimi were good, and the tempura was good as well. The veggie udon was a little disappointing though. It had one bok choy, a few pieces of mushroom, and then was mostly just strands of onion. The spicy scallop maki was also just okay since I couldn't really taste much scallop. Price-wise, I do think it's a little on the higher side for what you get. The quality was good overall, but for the price I would've liked a little more, especially considering the wait. Between how difficult parking is and how long and unevenly the food came out, I'm not really in any hurry to return. I think the wait bothered me more because we were eating as a group, and by the time two people finally got their food, the rest of us were completely finished. If they can improve the timing of getting everyone's meals out somewhat together, it would make the experience a lot better. 5% off with cash.

The menu items are "high end" but for the price you don't actually get premium quality. If you like to brag about eating wagyu then yeah sure this might be the place for you but if you want good food, this place isn't it. The novelty wears off quickly and you'll find out it's really low quality wagyu (lots of gristle got stuck in my teeth) and nothing was done to really elevate the ingredients. Variety is not great esp with few appetizers to cleanse the palate or any veggies outside of edamame. Maybe for sukiyaki it would have been better but for $130, that's pretty insane for something so mediocre. Service was attentive but nothing special. Pricing is also insane for kids. Oh the smoked duck was a highlight though. Well seasoned and tender. But everything else felt unseasoned and bland. TDLR: go to daimaru for sukiyaki instead. Way more variety and higher quality for less money.
