orange izakaya

regina, you have the weirdest food sometimes. decided to give this fusion place a try on apr 11, 2018. restaurant is small and pretty spartan in terms of decor; they obviously spent their money on the bar.

was handed a menu when i walked in and i chose where to sit. menu is unique and it’s definitely a fusion between korean and japanese. i settled on the crispy roll, volcano roll, and beef bulgogi.

food arrived quickly. sushi was ok, tuna was canned (i get it, it’s regina) and overall very sweet. sauce on the volcano roll was sweet and not very spicy. rice was a bit dried out. bulgogi beef was ok but the veggies were bland and watery. just not a lot of flavour going on and not what i would expect.

total bill was $34 including taxes. if i’m going to pay $10 for a roll, it should have actual sushi grade tuna. maybe the tastebuds in regina aren’t ready for flavourful korean food full of spices and textures. won’t be comingbackanytime soon.

great foods and service! best sushi in regina.
we had some sushi rolls and kimchi dolsot and they were just awesome!
i will bebackregularly!

our server was very sweet and attentive. my friend and i had edamame and vegetable tempura to start and then samba and volcano rolls. all the food was fresh and delicious and service was excellent. the ambience of the restaurant was also great. it was too cold to eat on the patio, but inside was nice and private with music at just the right volume to visit. i will bebackregularly!

would never go back. bad food and bad service! the rolls were dried out and had under cooked rice and they forgot half our order in thebackuntil we told them.

terrile service. i posted this on another site as well, but i thought that i would include it on urbanspoon...

although the food was pretty good, the service was awful. not only did they spill a beer on me, they charged me for it. it took over 45 minutes to receive the bill (we has to ask for it at the end of the meal, the server, who only had two tables never camebackto ours to clear our dishes) and even then it was incorrect. i contacted the restaurant to follow up and advise management about the experience we had, and i never heard back.

we are easy going customers who are not demanding. i understand that servers have bad days, and even when the beer was spilled on me, i did not get upset. what makes me upset is the consistent terrible service, with no appropriate follow-up from management.

there are many great restaurants in regina - avoid this one.

good food, great ambiance!!. this is a really nice little place. we shared some sushi and had some wine. the gyoza was also pretty good. michi still has my vote on best sushi in the city, but orange izakaya had some really good and inventive sushi rolls. the service was really good and it is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy your dining experience. i will definately gobackand try more menu items!
