Linhai Sushi Family Restaurant - NOT ALL YOU CAN EAT

This spot is consistently a 5/5 stars for me! They have something for everyone, even if you’re newer to sushi they have tons of options. I’ve tried tons of different things from the menu and have never had a miss! And not to mention the service from the owners is always a highlight of the experience as well. I always direct people here when they’re looking for great sushi!

The sushi had good flavour but the maki roll was cut extremely thin and the rolls were also a small diameter (by far the thinnest pieces I have ever seen). I eat at a lot of sushi restaurants. It was sad to see how small a thin the maki roles were. Half the thickness of any all you can eat restaurants. Also no thought was put into plating the food and all our order arrived on one plate pressed next to each other. That also meant we had to waited a long time while all the roles were finished. We were the only people in the restaurant. The taste was great but not good enough that I would come back.

Nice staff but unfortunately the food was not on par with any other sushi place I have been to. I ordered a sashimi plate and a cucumber avocado roll. There were some bones in the Salmon and the scallops were warm, with some tough spots. I think it was freezer burn. The rice on the rolls was mushy. My daughter loves going to eat sushi and was also disappointed. We went to McDonald's after. If you check this place out, maybe try the cooked dishes, I don't recommend the sushi.

Such an amazing restaurant! Everything was very clean and welcoming, the food tasted truly authentic and was clearly freshly made. The service was professional, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. You can really tell they care about quality. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back.

Really good ramen! The broth is amazing.

A hidden gem! Everything was super flavourful. Try the honey ginger tea. You won’t regret it. Great atmosphere.

Food was delicious, fresh and full of flavor. All the rolls we had were made with high quality ingredients.
Rolls are not full of fillers so the rolls have a great balance of favor. Looking forward to coming back again.Thank you for making it a great night.
We actually had reservations at Star Sushi but arrived only to find that it was closed for vacation.
As a great bonus IceCream2 was in the same plaza so we finished it all off with a great sweet treat.

This plate was about $60 after tax. The whole experience was very overwhelming.

We went for a combo order for 37 pcs, and the owner has such a thick accent it was hard to even communicate. When we proceeded to select our rolls, she would suggest lower priced rolls to offset some basic rolls such as the rainbow roll (salmon and avocado).
She forced crispy rolls on us as well.

After ordering, once we received the order, you can see by the picture how little fish was put into it. There was more crisp than fish as well. For such a large platter and cost, the rolls shouldn't be so small with such an average taste.

This has been the worst sushi experience I've had, and I wished this family owned business was a hidden gem coming from Toronto, but it turned out to be the total opposite.

Not a place I would return to unfortunately! This seems to be the only sushi place in this part of Kitchener so I can understand why it's popular. My family and I eat a lot of sushi and I've been to just about every sushi place in KW and many sushi places in GTA and I just wasn't a fan of the food here. We ordered a roll and sushi platter and it wasn't worth the price considering the ingredients (there was not much fish included, it was a lot of imitation crab and tempura shrimp) and size of the portions. The restaurant has a very nice setting however; it was very quiet and relaxed inside. But there are other a la carte sushi places in KW that I would recommend over this one.

The food was absolutely delicious! The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. They were so humble and welcoming to us. And guess what? There are a ton of great vegetarian options available. If you’re a vegan or vegetarian looking to try some authentic Japanese food, I highly recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed! Come visit us sometime!

Beef ramen is awful. The beef is so tough you can't even chew it. A very small serving size for the price.
Sushi rolls were supposed to have avocado which was barely there. Trying to cut corners with ingredients.

Average not as reviews show, one near me is far better.

Hard to use a washroom in here too!

The food was good and so was the service but I was served one wrong dish of my two orders. I also think the portions were a little small for the price. I have gone to many sushi places that charge about the same with much bigger portions. I ate two sushi rolls and was still hungry when I usually can’t even finish one.

Very friendly staff! I came with my sister, and we both think this will be our go-to place to enjoy a day together. We love sushi, and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend this place!
