I recently tried a Bakudan Maki, and wow—this thing surprised me. It was honestly one of the best rolls I’ve had in a long time. The spicy tuna was super flavorful, and the hot sauce gave it just the right kick without burning your mouth. What really made it addictive was the tempura crumbs. They added this perfect crunch that made every bite feel different and way more fun to eat. I wasn’t expecting much when I ordered it, but after the first bite I knew it was something I’d get again. It had that nice mix of heat, texture, and freshness that makes you slow down just to enjoy it. It’s the kind of roll you think about later and go, “Yeah, that was actually really good.” If someone wants something a bit spicy but still super tasty, I’d definitely say grab a Bakudan Maki. It instantly became one of my favorites.

Just underwhelmed by the food here. Agedashi tofu was oddly chewy and yam tempura roll was not fresh and had fish eggs on it (not intentionally). I get veggie rolls because I don’t eat fish. Avocado salad was kind of just boring, although the avocado was very fresh.

I’ve been to Korea and their gamjatang here has the closest taste to the OG gamjatang in Seoul. 10/10 best korean restaurant in the city!

Nice little sushi spot not fancy appeared to be a family business. Had decent rolls and seaweed salad. Beef teriyaki was amazing, huge serving. Not fancy but good.

Always the best experience going here, and the food in the best with good options between Japanese and Korean. This place is 30 mins drive coming from the east side of town and its definitely worth the drive.
I recommend trying their gamjatang and sushi.

Food is great. Service could use some work. The complimentary green salad and miso soul is also very good.

Go here. And eat in. The service was great, they provided us with complimentary appetizer salad and miso soup as well as an orange after our meal. The vibes were great, it feels like a real local, family run kind of place. Oh, and the food was great too, loved all the rolls, also tried the bulgogi which was very good. Go eat here.

Great value. Miso soup and salad comes free with you sushi. Consistent quality and service.
Almost wanna gatekeep this place because their gamjatang is a hidden gem. They only have limited stock a day, so once it's gone, it's gone.
We love our gamjatang. I have eaten it in several establishments in Koreatown in Los Angeles, Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa, Montreal, and even in Rhode Island lmao. The gamjatang here is the closest you'll get to the ones in LA or Toronto. Over the years we have tried every gamjatang in Winnipeg, this is our pick. I know Kimbaek and Hong Ddu Kae are the favourites for gamjatang, but I think if you went here and tried the gamjatang, you will change your mind. Other places are more brothy and watered down in our opinion. Sushi One's gamjatang is THICK like a stew because they use actual crushed perilla seeds in the broth which thickens it up and gives it a complex nutty flavour. Perilla seeds are expensive and not a lot of places use it because of the cost. The meat is fall-off-the-bone tender. You can ask for extra spicy. Every person who loves gamjatang I have taken to this restaurant and they are hooked and don't go anywhere else now.
We tried other foods here. The sushi is okay, it is good but we prefer other places, as the price is a bit high for the portion size. This review is not really going to account for the sushi, we are basing it off the Korean food, and the Korean food is a solid 10. We tried the jokbal (pork hock), bulgogi, seolleongtang (beef soup), soon dubu jjigae (soft tofu stew), and Hye Dup Bap (Korean sashimi bowl with gochuchang and fresh salad greens). All are really good, but the gamjatang is the star. The Korean food is incredible value as you get side dishes, rice, and even miso soup + salad + oranges with your meal. I believe you get the soup and salad with orange if you order other foods, like the bento box which is also quite a good value for lunch.
The restaurant is small with limited seating so not ideal for a huge party. It is a family owned restaurant so it has a dive-like feel, it is not the fanciest atmosphere. The restrooms are clean. Service is great and attentive.
It is worth the drive to basically the furthest point of St. James, this is near the perimeter to Assiniboia Downs. People I know who live on the other end of the city drive all the way here just for the Korean food. Most people who dine here are Asian, if that matters to anyone. As a St. James resident, I can tell you that good Asian restaurants in this part of the city are few. We are lucky to have this place in our part of the city.

After being seated, I was informed that the last order would be in 10 minutes—something that felt a bit rushed, even though I already knew what I wanted.
No water was served until I specifically asked for it, which felt like a basic courtesy being overlooked. I also noticed that the portions of the side dishes seem to have gotten smaller over time.
Everyone else appeared to receive fruit after their meals except for me. I'm not sure if this was an oversight or simply because the staff were eager to close up for the night.
