“I was very impressed by how polite and professional the front desk staff were.”i will come here again“

“Just had the dan dan ramen bought frozen at Delucas. It was absolutely fantastic. Fresh must be that much better. I will absolutely order soon. Very very nice.“

“I had 3 items tonight! The food is 10/10! 💯“

“Fair gluten friendly options, great service and knowledgeable servers. I like how you can see the chefs preparing the food, very clean inside. overall good experience! My only downside was the cooked shrimp didn't state it had wasabi in the middle, so that was disappointing but no big deal.“

“Tasty and budget-friendly Asian food in Corydon! Really enjoyed the Hellomen seafood noodles. Clean space and friendly staff made the experience even better!“

“The beef teriyaki is AMAZING! I can't recommend it enough!“

“We just ate here today for the first time. I tried quite a few sushi places in the last couple years since my favourite place closed and now I think I have found a new favourite. I thoroughly enjoyed everything that I ate. The service was quick. The food was amazing and the price was actually very reasonable.“

“Delicious, presentation on point, very kind and helpful staff who went above and beyond. Easily ordered all vegan and wasn't disappointed!“

“I visited Blufish yesterday evening with my boyfriend and my mom (we were all craving sushi), and we heard lots of great reviews and word that Blufish was one of the top places in Winnipeg to go for good sushi (alongside Yujiro on Grant). We reserved a table earlier in the day online - this was a super easy and convenient option! We ended up arriving 15 minutes early and they were able to accommodate (I was 100% okay with waiting if needed, but it was great to see how accommodating and welcoming the crew at Blufish was). ☺️ First off - the cocktails. 😍 I tried both their Plumtini and Lychee-tini, and I honestly could have sipped on those all night long. Our server was really great with recommending cocktails to try as well! Between the three of us, we ordered a variety of items - from edamame beans and vegetable tempura, to sashimi and nigiri sushi, and a few different rolls. I myself have a shellfish allergy (a sin for a person who loves sushi), and the staff were very accommodating with making sure that the items that were unsafe for me were on separate plates, and they acknowledged when those specific rolls were on the table as well. Kudos to the staff - this effort meant so much to me! 🙌🏼 The sashimi and nigiri was amazing, their wasabi was great - the only items I found I could have passed on were their salmon bakudan roll, the seaweed wrap was quite chewy and not my favourite, and their philadelphia roll (again, just a tad bit chewier than I’m used to - although I will say that I really appreciated that they were open to switching out the smoked salmon for raw salmon with this roll). These are not reasons that will deter me from returning though - I will definitely come back again! I can definitely vouch after this visit that Blufish is indeed one of the top places in Winnipeg for sushi - I will agree with that one!“

“This is one of our go-to places for sushi. It's reliable, delicious, and great portions. Yes, the place is a little small but they've recently done some small renovations that makes it feel more open. We've never had one bad experience here.“

“The best sushi in town! The quality of the fish speaks for itself“

“One of the best sushi spots in the city. The fish is always fresh, the rolls are well-made, and everything is presented beautifully. Service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is chill and comfortable. The Mango Tango Roll is a standout — fresh, flavorful, and just the right mix of sweet and savory. Definitely a go-to spot if you’re looking for quality sushi in Winnipeg“

“I have been ordering from them for 5 years, great food but they have changed the app / ordering method a few times which is annoying, android app doesn't even work anymore . Website often has errors and bugs and facebook contact seems a little clueless of issues. 😢 I always try to order restaurant direct but they make it difficult. Hopefully they can get some help with social media/ app integrations.“

“Don't normally review but this place deserves the 5 stars and an absolute glowing review. Placed a simple order for a friend's birthday, forgot to mention it and called to ask them to write happy birthday on the packaging. They said sure and then 10 minutes later sent me a text message of an extra sushi cake they made special for her. They went above and beyond and I was told by the sushi feind friend that it was the best sushi she'd had. 100% recommend.“

“Great Sushi for the price. Nice variety“

“I ordered a beef tappenyaki with extra sauce on door dash and when I received it the lid was completely off and the sauce had spilled all over the bag. I called the restaurant and told them about it and they happily replaced it for me. One of the lady who work’s there is always suuper nice. I will always be one of their regular customers.“

“Good food ! Good service ! Staff are friendly and accommodating..“

“Great Food, amazing atmosphere and very friendly and helpful staff, overall great experience and will certainly be back.“

“We had an excellent meal: sashimi was perfect, as was the Black Forest roll and the BBQ eel roll. Tempura prawns, yakitori and agedashi tofu were delicious too. Very good service. We will be back“

“Absolutely incredible KOYA location. Best I’ve ever had. I’m a repeat customerClean restaurant only fresh ingredients. Excellent customer service.

Vegetarian options: So many vegetarian options. Perfect for all ages. Heathy and fresh.“

“I ordered a pork bao bun that wasn’t on the main menu but was posted near the register. I decided to try it because it was something new for me. I’m glad I did because it tasted great and suited my palate. The amount of pork in the bun was just right—not too much and not too little. I’m not a fan of leeks, and they kind of distracted me because I could really taste them, but it was still fine overall. I did have to wait a bit for my order since they made it on the spot, I think, but that actually made it even more delicious. I finished it all and my tummy feels happy.

The location of this is in the foodcourt area of Kildonan Place.The price was about CAD 11 for two buns, which seemed fair. Also, the cashier was really energetic and friendly.
Will def recommend this.“

“flavor and portion sizes are great! nice atmosphere and fast friendly service! absolutely loved coming and enjoying the food!“

“Very good sushi everytime I order. My favourites are the Red Dragon Roll and Rainbow Roll“

“This place is amazing! I ordered through skip and the restaurant actually called to confirm as I ordered something differently then my previous orders. They wa Ted ti make sure I didn't make a mistake by accident...so thoughtful! Food is always so fresh and tasty! 5++++ stars for sure.“

“Likely the best sushi in south Winnipeg. Highly recommended.“

“Choosing this place to celebrate my daughter's birthday was the best choice. With just short notice, Andy and his staff makes it possible. Most of the guest we have were surprised with how fresh and good the food is. Highly recommended place to dine! Big thanks to Andy and staff, you are the best! More celebrations to celebrate it here! Great job to @pokemonowinnipeg!“

“I love this place , according to me it’s was my best experience to come and eat here , I love the taste of almost everything and most important the service is quite fast and the server was super super friendly as I didn’t know what ingredients are there in some specific dishes he help me a lot in explaining everything , not lying but he is the one of the best person at work as by communicating with him i order best food for me . In last I recommend to everyone visit this place for good and awesome food.“

“AMAZING SUSHI! The building itself looks extremely sketchy from the outside, so I was a little skeptical when trying the sushi. But, WOW! What amazing sushi! My husband and I enjoyed their sushi so much that we ended up getting it again the following day. 100% Recommend.“

“I was recommended this place by a coworker. Wow. The portion sizes are larger than expected and the price is very good. Our server recommended the Naru rolls, which is one of their more popular rolls. It's a must try. The teriyaki chicken roll is flawless, thinly breaded chicken and adds a level of crunch that I've never had in a teriyaki chicken roll before.

If sushi is what you are looking for, this is the place.“

“We loved Kai Sushi! Owners are friendly. We will definitely visit again. Great food!“

“This is the best sushi in Winnipeg. we stumbled upon this gem about a month ago and were amazed by how delicious and reasonably priced it is. Our second visit today was even better! Absolutely everything we've sampled is delicious; from the sushi pizza, the beef tataki, the rolls, the miso.. and the Sapporo frozen beer... 5☆. On top of fabulous food is the service! A+! I can not recommend this restaurant enough. If we lived closer we would probably be in at least twice a week!“

“very accommodating server, our first time and not bad , food is good and the best , our two october bdays celebrant are free meals, thank you so much, definitely will be back again!!👍👍👍“

“Very happy with the quality and quantity for $$. Very nice, attentive and informative server. Thank you to the chef!“

“I eat here almost daily for lunch. I love the chicken teriyaki on rice. The staff is always careful to make sure the chicken and beef don't mix together on the same cooking surface as they know I don't eat beef. The veggies and rice with the chicken are healthy choices and I'm actually losing weight on it.“

“Vegetarian options: They have a variety of vegetarian options and they can accommodate your preferred choice. The employees there are always very friendly, helpful and ready to serve you! I have only had the ready-made take-out to go trays which are very organized, nicely packed and all tasty and delicious. This little restaurant does not disappoint and I would recommend picking up from here even if you just want a quick healthy snack. The food here definitely satisfies the hunger pangs!“

“Very cool store with a ton of variety - a real デパート in Canada. Allowed me to reminisce and seek out things I missed from living there. Recommend Calpico of any flavour to those that want to try a unique drink. (Original is my favorite.)“

“Can't say enough. I popped into the store in September, hired Reagan for a consult and in a month made decisions about furniture, lighting and accessories that I've waffled about for years. Awesome!“

“my family's favor suhibar“

“This is my go to for sushi. I have been to many sushi places around the city and I've tried sushi gozen a cpl tines as it is in the same mall but hands down this is my favourite place. The staff is incredibly friendly the quality of the food is very high, and they put a lot of effort into making sure that everything is done really well. Highly recommend going here I often take my daughter and we always need to substitute something and they are completely willing to do so. I implore you to give them a chance and please tip them well they deserve it . 6 out of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kid-friendliness: They are always super friendly and treat their customers well.

Wheelchair accessibility: Its in a mall.“

“Absolutely amazing! Chicken noodle tasted perfect, chicken cooked to perfection, vegetables are well cooked and not dead. It has the wok hay. We also tried volcano sushi it was delicious. Sides are amazing, we had shrimp tempura and spring rolls. Prices are affordable and portions are good. Mango bubble tea with mango pieces in it was a breath of fresh air. Nice customer service, kind workers. Overall perfection. I wish I could give more stars.“
