We are not happy with the food and the service.

The service is subpar at best. It appears the management has changed or the service simply has drastically declined recently. Was ‘greeted’ by one of the wait staff and when we asked for a table for our party she simply pointed to a table without saying a word or even a smile. They brought over some tea and the tea was literally room temperature. It seems they had previously poured this tea and the cups had just been sitting out there for who knows long. We told the young man who serving us and he simply said ‘ oh sorry ‘. Eventually another waitress replaced the tea without any kind of word or explanation. Throughout the evening we kept asking for basic things that should have been automatically provided. And each time it seemed we were annoying the waitress Again, no smiles, no word of apology or any kind. Simply a straight face.

The food was ok. Wonton soup lacked flavour, tasted watered down. As the rolls started coming we realized they had not provided the wasabi and pickled ginger that is customary at a sushi restaurant. So we asked for it. Again no acknowledgement whatsoever and although we had a party of three, they only brought one serving of said items. The wasabi tasted nothing like wasabi it had no flavour or that punch you expect from wasabi. The soy sauce also tasted watered down and even looked watered down.

This was an overall disappointing experience to say the least. Will not be coming back as a result.

Very cozy little restaurant and very clean. The staff are attentive and polite. There was only one other table when I came in so I'm not sure how fast things come out when it's a bit busier, but the food came out at a good pace. Everything was a great temperature, it didn't feel like anything had been sitting. The ingredients taste nice and fresh, and everything that has been fried clearly has been fried in clean oil. Nothing fried tasted heavy, or of other flavours. The avocado in rolls was the perfect ripeness, and everything was presented very nicely. It's clear the chefs here take the time to make things properly rather than rushing or using subpar ingredients or methods.

The real star here is the rice. It's perfectly fluffy and has a polished texture that lends well to the subtle seasoning. Too many AYCE places don't pay attention to the rice and it shows, but reach piece of sushi, maki, and temaki I had was perfectly rolled and a wonderful texture. Would absolutely come back, and definitely recommend visiting here if you're in the area.

Edit: I totally forgot to mention the gyoza! The filling is very flavorful and the texture is perfect. It's not heavily stuffed with cabbage, and the pork hasn't been overworked or overcooked. Absolutely delicious!

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian rolls and other options

Parking: Location is in a mall and has both outside and mall access. It's easy to get from the parking lot to the restaurant without having to go through the mall

Prompt service and great value. You wouldn't think sushi in a strip mall in bowmanville would be this good.

Great place to eat. Although it's in the mall, it feels very tucked away and quaint. Food is delicious and servers are friendly. Lunch time all you can eat is the best deal, but it gets pricey when you order on your own.

Was in area and hungry and tried on a whim… such a good price point for amount and quality!!! I ate in my car… couldn’t wait to get home haha. Only thing I’d change is the fine in experience could use an update in decor, and staff could be a litttttle more inviting. But honestly, the food is that good I’ll come back. Very happy with it!!

Food was great and fresh but don’t expect to be treated well. I have been on multiple occasions and staff were dismissive, not helpful in explaining the menu and or just plain rude. There are better sushi spots in Bowmanville that have great food and wayyyyyy better service! This was my only choice because it was a Tuesday and my other 2 go-to sushi restaurants were closed. This will be my last time ordering here.

Take out never tasted so good!! Had The General Tso and Spicy Crab Sushi Pizza.
Though I feel it could be spicier. I do understand that most Canadians can't take the heat, but it was very flavorful. Plenty of food for your money. The staff is very kind and it is very reasonable priced. I highly recommend it if
you are in Bowmanville.
