“Gotta mention Roger, He was fan fricking tastic.. He was an awesome chef and definitely made our night. The food he made matched his attitude obviously and it was absolutely delicious. 10 outta 10 make, sure you get Roger as your chef!“

“always fresh and delicious!“

“My only sushi spot in Winnipeg. All the rolls come in the perfect size for eating, delicious, fresh, and always beautifully presented. The staff is so polite and so accommodating to my requests for extra ginger. We have been long-time customers for over the past 30 years, as the chef moved around to different locations. Just the best!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Love this place! Food is excellent. Great service.“

“This place is great! Have been coming here for about 9 years and it has always been a great experience! Staff are very friendly and always welcoming, and the food is very reasonably priced for the amount that you get- which I might add is very delicious and always fresh!“

“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.“

“Great Sushi for the price. Nice variety“

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

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

“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!“

“They always have great food. Some of the servers have been there for years and remember us even if we only come every few months for the past 9 years. They will always accommodate requests for allergies when possible. Never had a bad experience there.“

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

“Ive been eating at this location (Grant Park) for years and it continues to be the best quality food, price, and service! The food is extremely tasty and the owner is the so accommodating, friendly, really appreciates her customers! I highly recommend this location and not the other one! Koya in Grant park mall you cant even compare to the other location. Ive tried both. Go visit the owner and youll be pleased!“

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

“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“

“1st time for our family…We found our favourite spot in the south…Delicious food very flavourful, great portions for a great price. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff…“

“Excellent service at this branch! We ordered take-out today and the staff were very friendly and efficient. Everything was packed well and still fresh when we got home. Great value and definitely one of our favorite spots in St. Vital Centre. Highly recommended!“

“I ordered the “create your own noodle soup” with the ramen noodles, but I’m picky so I basically ordered just the noodles and beef with the chicken broth, and they made it no problem. It was delicious! I’d never ordered before, but I will definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Had a wonderful meal at Naru Sushi tonight. Everything was so fresh and the presentation was absolutely beautiful.

We were really impressed by the large sushi boat they brought to the table. It was a great way to share and try a little bit of everything. We will definitely be back soon.“

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

“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“

“Absolutely amazing experience at this sushi restaurant. The fish was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and every dish was made with great attention to detail. The staff were warm, professional, and made us feel very welcome from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was clean, cozy, and authentic — perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. One of the best Japanese dining experiences I’ve had in Winnipeg. Highly recommend and will definitely come back again“

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

“Pyszne sushi, nigdy się nie rozczarowałam, zawsze pysznie i profesjonalnie. Polecam bardzooo!“

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

“This rating might be to high.
one of my dishes were made incorrectly?. It was still good, but also felt like it didn't belong.. it didn't show pickled carrots on pork belly boa buns in the picture in store menu display and doesn't mention carrots on the ordering site. I think i would have enjoyed it even more if it was made correctly.

I felt very rushed when placing my order and missed out on a $2 combo drink because she walked away for a moment after asking about drinks, throwing me off. They didn't try to upsell the sumo size(shrimp chicken stir fry rice,), I was kind of shocked with the small portion and what I paid... they have 3 other Rice places, and koya is by far the least amount.

I was bothered by how they tried to get me to leave before I got my food, they don't have a buzzer, and if a similar dish it could cause confusion as we almost swiped a different customers dish because she wasn't there and it was very similar to what we ordered, like wave them down before putting out what they got, instead we got confused. After 1 of our dishes were out, she told us to go sit down 5 more mins for my food, I insisted on waiting for my food... she still pleaded a couple more times before I walked away because it was getting weird, so I just watched, from the table my partner already brought his dish.

As much as her not so great servicing skills and less Rice than expected, I did enjoy the taste of everything, I will be back...
you have to make sure to ask for utensils and soysause because it might not be there.“

“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!“

“I recently visited this place and had an excellent experience. The service was truly above and beyond my expectations. The staff was friendly, professional, and attentive throughout my visit.

A special thanks to Ekta, the manager, who was incredibly helpful and has a wonderful nature. She made sure everything was taken care of and went the extra mile to ensure a great customer experience.

I highly recommend this place and will definitely be visiting again!“

“Grabbed a Philadelphia & Spicy Salmon Roll here today for lunch, it was good for the price! You honestly can't complain when you're getting a whole roll of sushi for under $10, the fish tasted fresh, spicy salmon could have had a bit more flavour but they were still yummy! Guy working the counter was really nice!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Low priced quality items on sale“

“This restaurant is a go to of mine when In St.Vital Centre. The teriyaki bowls and sushi they have are just amazing. The staff are also very friendly and understanding. I recall asking to order one of their big sushi platters, and asking about it. This one staff was very understanding and walked me through everything about the platter. Overall a great experience every time.“

“Lunch time on a Friday was great! Lots of people there shortly after we left around 3:00pm. Service was quick, greetings right from the door, food was delicious and fish was so fresh! Local, family owned. Chefs were great would come again. Parking was good right on the street. Korean options as well for non-sushi eaters. Will come again :)“

“Amazing food! Chill atmosphere highly recommend it“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic sushi combos!
We ordered the 🍣 Sushi Combo and 🐟 Salmon Combo — both were super fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented 🎌. Generous portions, perfect rice-to-fish ratio 🍚🐠, and everything tasted amazing 🤤. We’ll definitely be back! 💯🙌“

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

“I was frustrated that we couldn't eat in when I came with my kids a couple of weeks ago. It's take out only

Parking: Whenever I come to this strip mall I always find parking but sometimes there's only one or two spots available and you have to squeeze in quite tight“

“We like the food and excellent service“

“Ordered takeout for NYE after two other sushi places cancelled our orders (after three hours waiting). Sushi Gozen took our order, it came in a short time and it was delicious! New Years was saved ❤️“

“I have been a loyal customer of Edo Japan in Fort Richmond for 5 years. Last Saturday, my family and I visited Edo Japan Fort Richmond during dinner time. The store was packed, and it was clear that it was busier than usual with people eating in, taking away, and ordering delivery. The two staff at the front were very welcoming, polite, and efficient. They let us know that our order would take a while, and we were fine with that. We ordered Family Deals and 5 Sushi Platters because we love their food, and it did not disappoint. The staff delivered our order in less than 15 minutes, which was impressive given the crowd. We were pleasantly surprised by the fast service despite the long line and many waiting customers. The staff are definitely hardworking. Although the store didn't have a tipping option, my family chose to tip the staff who worked diligently during the busy period. These staff members are a credit to the company. I hope Edo Japan considers implementing a tipping option so that their hardworking staff can be rewarded for their excellent service.“

“Been a family go to Friday night at home dinner!“
