Best sushi I’ve ever tasted
It is really difficult to try not to come in with a Toronto bias to the food scene in Windsor. I will try to come off objectively, I think one of the biggest things and this is supposed to be an industry standard is ticket times. From order to receiving, it took quite a long time >30 mins. Now, I will understand if it's understaffed but it didn't look like it. That and not seeing a server after ordering food to top up drinks is probably my biggest gripe about this place. Food wise, I think some dishes try to be creative but end up missing the nail completely. Fuji San roll as an example is supposed to come on a sizzling plate, but the roll does not sizzle. I imagine it was for texture purposes, but the roll was just warm. Okonomiyaki was disappointing, it seems to me that overcooked and over mixed the batter so it was just like this pasty pancake. I would say that their Korean dishes are definitely better than their sushi, it is just that pricing is pretty nuts. I get it, portions are bigger but sometimes having a large portion doesn't make up for the value. Likely will not be revisiting but for any tourist it's a pretty decent spot for Korean food.
Authentic and good.
Great food and service. Nice atmosphere as well. Not my first time and won't be my last.
This place is the best sushi in Windsor. From the service, to the quality and presentation of the food, this place is always consistent.
The food was very good and high quality compared to most places in the city. You get what you pay for here. The service was a little slow but other than that everything was fine. Miso soup was good and the sushi was top notch.
Just like in the photo, each piece glistens with freshness—the salmon is buttery, the tuna rich and vibrant, and the rice perfectly seasoned. The presentation is artful, with vibrant colors and clean plating that make every dish Instagram-worthy. While it’s a bit pricey, the quality matches the cost, especially for special occasions or when you’re craving top-tier sushi.
You can almost taste the care put into each roll, from the delicate slices of fish to the crisp nori and balanced flavors. The ambiance, much like the photo’s sleek aesthetic, is modern and inviting. If you don’t mind treating yourself, this spot delivers an unforgettable sushi experience worth every penny!
Really great sushi! Dinner and a show (crackheads across the street doing weird things under a pile of picnic tables). This was not the restaurant's fault lol. Really quaint atmosphere and family friendly.
First time trying this place, but let's just say, that I will definitely come back for more. Amazing restaurant if you are craving Japanese cuisine. The food here is great, with lots of sushi options and others. I would recommend either the Katsu Curry or the Bento Box, which is the one I ordered. Also loved the atmosphere of the place, and the servers were pleasurable and ready to serve you as soon as you sit at your table.
This has become my go-to sushi in Windsor. Excellent!

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant on Valentine’s Day. We made a reservation in advance, only to arrive and find out that the restaurant had a $130 pre-fix menu, which included a few rolls, a shared appetizer, shared salad, and shared dessert. This information was never communicated to us at the time of booking. If you're going to offer a pre-fix menu, it’s essential that this be disclosed when reservations are made so customers aren’t blindsided upon arrival. On top of that, we had to wait almost 15 minutes before anyone even spoke to us. The entire place was a mess – dirty menus, disgusting tables, and a general lack of care. The menus were sticky, and the tables were bare and unkempt. Given the poor service and unclean environment, we decided to leave. This level of service is unacceptable, and I will not be returning. Looks like it’s gone down hill since the last time I’ve been here. Very sad.
Poor experience—very disappointed! My partner and I spent our valentines dinner here and received terrible service. Unfortunately we did arrive 15 minutes late to our reservation, but we called in advance to let them know, they were fine with it.
Once we arrived, we were confused on where we had to wait as there was no sign or host. We waited at the door and made eye contact with the staff at the back multiple times and they ignored us. Around a minute or two we walked back there and they asked if we had a reservation and we got seated. Compared to all the rooms, ours was the worst—dirty walls and bare tables. The overall restaurant did not appear busy, as there were still some free tables and the energy was calm.
The food was good, but it did take a long time. We understood that it was expected with Valentine’s Day, so we are not as upset with that. However, it took around 20 minutes to have our order taken. Then around 40 minutes to get our drinks. They kept forgetting the drinks and we reminded them around three times and finally got it during our entree (with a quarter of room of space… not worth the price or hassle to get them).
Throughout the entire meal, we were never checked up on or asked how our meal was. Only interaction was during the large intervals between receiving our food and there was no initiation with conversation on their part. When we finished the entree, it waited empty at our table for almost 15 minutes, before we were finally checked out and had it cleared off.
We are very disappointed and upset we wasted time having our—what was supposed to be—romantic dinner. Waste of $140. We will not be dinning here again and do not recommend this place if you’re looking for a dinner that is worth the price with good service.
One of the best in town very flavorful !
I dropped by to have dinner to-go. Thank you for your kind welcome. They have the professional skill. It was such a touching time.
Hikari will be my go-to restaurant in Windsor. My husband is not a sushi/roll person but even he enjoyed every single bite! Quarlity of food and service were exceptional 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
