Ariake Japanese Restaurant

The food while fresh was bland, not tasty, and not much better than mall take out quality.
The salad had a very thin watered down dressing, one of the worst Japanese sushi restaurants salads that I ever had
The sushi boat that we ordered had very plain sushi and small sashimi
The waitresses brought out one miso soup and one salad even though there was two of us. Considering we were paying over $50 for a sushi boat, she should of brought us two, although for the lousy taste of salad, it was not a problem to not have the extra salad. Usually a waiter would bring an extra salad or miso if there are two people sharing a sushi boat, but apparently they could not be bothered.

I really did not enjoy this meal at all, and I will not be going back to this restaurant, and I would not recommend to try this restaurant.

Mom and pop kind of shop. The restaurant is cozy and has brown rice options for sushi for a price. The brown rice sushi still has a very good texture. The fish tasted fresh and reasonably priced.

I’ve been here a few times and it was decent. This time I ordered take out and was so disappointed. The quality really went downhill.

The salmon sushi pizza was a joke, it was literally the fried rice patty topped with mayo and salmon. So plain and lacklustre.

The edamame was cold, bland and didn’t even have salt on it.

The salmon sashimi was very low grade. Looks like their cutting corners.

Totally mediocre, they’re not even trying. It’s edible, but won't be ordering from them again.

Great service and atmosphere. I like the Japanese style, small little partitions which give more privacy to costumers. Food was ok, not so much with the sushi. I usually like sushi. My firstime to eat sushi with cream cheese.

Had the beef teriyaki bento box to go. Wasn’t as good as on previous three occasions. Didn’t recognize any of the staff being the same as from 6 months ago. Beef overcooked, not enough dressing on the salad, edamame served cold instead of warm. Sushi and sashimi was quite good. The salmon in the roll got a little warm as the cold tray was placed on top of the hot tray and sealed in a bag to go - best to keep separate I think. Going to seek out another spot in the neighborhood

We decided to try this restaurant because it had good reviews and was nearby. We ordered a sashimi and sushi platter. The quality of the fish was subpar. The sushi rice was mushy and did not stick together properly. Perhaps their other food is better, but we did not enjoy the platter. The only thing we liked was the wasabi.
