Very very very very bad experience in this restaurant. The server only serve customers who are natives, and ignore us. The worse is they even skip us and ask the next couple of customers who are Caucasian obversely if they have reserved or something else , but nobody care about us. IT IS SERIOUS RACISM!!! This kind of Japanese restaurant will not only influence customer experience, even influence experience stay in Halifax even Canada. The servers two Japanese girls. Really really bad experience consumption.
Reply：Hello, Doraku’s owner. I am glad that you took notice of my feedback as someone who is not of a white racial background. This proves that the actions of your two Japanese female servers do not necessarily reflect your values or those of Doraku, so perhaps this isn’t the standard of your restaurant. However, I don’t think that simply trusting your employees or the fact that they have worked in your restaurant for over a year or even two can prove that they wouldn’t behave in this way. I feel your response was not very objective. As a customer, I chose to dine at Doraku because I once appreciated the quality of your food, not because I intended to criticize your two Japanese female employees. I hope that, as the owner of Doraku, you can handle this matter fairly and impersonally.

Doraku is my favorite Japanese restaurant in my heart now！I had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at Doraku. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the quality of the food was unparalleled. Each dish was a perfect blend of flavors, creating a truly unforgettable meal. The service was outstanding, with a team that was attentive, friendly, and professional. What stood out the most, though, was the sincerity and passion of the owner, which made the experience even more special. You can really feel the heart and dedication behind every detail. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and exceptional dining experience.

This restaraunt deserves 7 stars. The food is simply outstanding. Your taste buds will dance with joy. Your tummy will do a kabuki dance. We’ve had sushi around the globe and this is as good as you will find in Japan.
Love this place. If you are looking for a delicious and authentic sushi place, this is the spot. Probably the best sushi I've had in halifax

Most, if not all restaurants I've experienced, either use rancid or near rancid meats, don't know how to cook, don't know how to season, and expect bathing their food in salt and MSG to save them.
Finally, one restaurant that is none of the above. If you want food that is cooked and seasoned properly, at a restaurant where they actually use proper good quality ingredients, this is it. Normally I can easily pinpoint at least one problem with a restaurant's food, theres a first for everything apparently, I wouldn't change anything about the food items I sampled. Beyond that, its a matter of what kind of cultural food fits your taste buds. The recipes are not "westernized" into a bland mess, they are authentic and taste like they are suppose to.
This kind of restaurant is well deserving of a nicer and larger building to operate their business in.
Great good, service could be better.
