The food is amazing! Fresh, delicious and popping flavours! The prices are good .The atmosphere isn't great. It was clearly an old Halibut House restaurant and they didn't bother to update it to a Japanese restaurant.

This place offers great tasting sushi in Ajax, however I would only recommend them for takeout. If you're planning on dining in and want a good experience, it's probably best to look elsewhere. There are many options on the menu and prices are both fair and affordable for what you receive. I also had the chicken fried rice, but I would not recommend it. A good place for takeout sushi.Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian sushi options.Parking: This is in a large strip mall, plenty of parking. There are also multiple banks in the plaza, if you wanted to take out some cash for your sushi!

This place seemed like they were frustrated taking business for dine in. Made sitting very uncomfortable, no kindness. Looks like a family running their business and a child roaming around like it’s their home and didn’t want a customer to sit inside and eat. Unwelcoming experience made it horrible. Sushi didn’t even taste good. When asked for a cup of water they said they can’t give water that cup of tap water is $1!!!I have never seen somewhere this cheap over water.Will not come again and be treated like I did something wrong for dining in. I guess they only want take out business with the attitude they show.I didn’t say anything to them but will express my experience here. I did let them know about water which my daughter really wanted because she accidentally ate ginger and found spicy.Very unfortunate experience. Will not recommend to anyone I know.Also served in a paper plate to dine in when I’ve seen others be served in regular plates.

Stopped in for lunch on my way to Montreal from Toronto and I was a bit perplexed by how we were received. This was 2 days before Christmas which is usually a happy time. We walked in and the restaurant was empty. A lady sitting at the front was on the phone and didn’t acknowledge our presence. We stood there for 1 minute. I made eye contact with a cook who also did not say hello or smile! We decided to give them more time and went to the bathroom. Upon leaving the bathroom the lady who was on the phone was done and stood there nearly blocking our exit and said “May I help you” which I though was odd and I replied “ we’d like to have lunch” . There were at least 5 people working not a single customer. The attitude of the server was cold and borderline rude.We ordered our food, ate and left. The sushi rolls were good, we eat a lot of sushi, but the service was horrendous. I actually can’t believe we were treated that way in a business that provides hospitality. If I lived in Ajax I might order delivery from there but I would never have a sit down dining experience there again. Didn’t feel valued as customers.

Simple but high quality. Never had gourmet sushi and don't think it's up there but they provide very satisfying meals.

Service was great atmosphere was lovely and the sushi rolls were amazing. The Spicy Crabmeat Roll was out of this world and my family loved the California roll. Not to pricey.

The lady who served was lovely but the food was rather disappointing. Sushi was lacking in taste and way to big. Japanese fries were very disappointing.
This place is a hidden gem. I can be picky with sushi but the sushi here was delightful. The rice was the right texture and tasted freshly made, It is some of the best sushi I've had in a long time.The pork belly was to die for!I 100% recommend

This is honestly the best food I’ve ever eaten. I had the dynamite roll and the pork belly Raman. I’ve never tasted fresher sushi and tastier broth. This place is 100% an amazing restaurant. We will be coming back at least once a month

This place is AMAZING!!! I have tried lots here and have ZERO complaints. I first found this place on Uber eats and will not have any other sushi from this area ever again because of this place. Don’t judge the look of the restaurant based on what you think their food will look like because wow is all I can say about this food. There’s salmon sushi pizza is out of this world as well as their green dragon rules. 10 out of 10 recommend this place.

Didn't think much of this place in a strip mall, but boy, was it worth it. Catered to allergies and even had kid friendly plates and chopsticks. The food came out quick and was delicious.
