pronto

tonight was my first time trying this restaurant. the menu has a huge amount of both sushi and non sushi selections! the miso soup was good, but not very warm. the crispy spicy shrimp and the crispy philadelphia californiarollswere my favourite! both had such delicious hints of spice and creaminess. the chicken teriyaki bowl was delicious and the portion size was generous. we came home with many left overs and it was just over $30.00 for two! the service was ok, but the girl taking the orders and running the till looked over worked. she could hardly keep up when it came time to deliver the food to the table or to take payments! will definitely be back again but hopefully on a less busy evening.

first time at this place. ordered some basic sushirollsand a couple expensive specialty rolls. basicrollswere disappointing. salmon was not fresh at all. you can tell the ingredients are old and cheap. the expensiverollswere stupidly huge with flavours all wrong and all over the map.
i stopped eating after 4 pieces.
the menu is way too big and it's hard to order if you've never been here before. maybe it's one of those places that only does a few things really well and you have to know what to order? i dunno.

service was awkward and most employees didn't understand english well. service was poor.

it's overpriced, even for being close to the university.
will never go back.
you want amazing sushi?
take the drive to emerald park for "urban sushi". best we've ever had.
they should go there and learn how to make sushi properly. we will stick with urban sushi for sure.

the best japanese restaurant in town. jumborollsare huge and so delicious. dragon roll is my most favourite. i love this place.

torchrolls= yum. my partner and i visit this restaurant often, as it is close to the university campus. it is, arguably, the best sushi this city has to offer and you get bang for your buck, unlike some other sushi spots in the city. the jumborollsare especially good. the lion king roll is a must-try - the finishing touch of torching the outer layer of salmon gives it a delicious, smoky flavour that tastes unlike anything else i have ever tried in a sushi restaurant here in regina. the staff is friendly and at least one of the sushi chefs trained and worked in san francisco and really knows his stuff. they offer a huge variety of different rolls, although i can't say i'm a huge fan of the soggy salad they serve in some of the combos and sometimes they go a little overkill on the eel sauce on certain rolls. overall, it's a great place to get delicious sushi fast and i am so happy that there is a sushi place located near campus.

i've always been a fan and loyal customer to this restaurant, i've recommended to friends and always go with friends but after today, no more. when i first heard about the change, i was disappointed that they removed student special but when i found out they added ramen, i wanted to go there immediately. so despite i had a sore throat i really wanted to try their tori ramen (deep fried chicken ramen), when i saw it i was excited cause it looked delicious! but when i took my first bite, the taste is good but extremely spicy. i've looked at the menu over and over again, i did not find anywhere it said "spicy". it was not mild spicy but spicy spicy. i'm super disappointed and unfortunately, i'll just be once in a rare occasion customer.
in addition, my friend ordered the ramen combo which consists of korean beef ramen, four dynamiterollsand a pop. there were one medium sized and a small piece of "korean beef". again, disappointed. yes, it came with dynamiterollsand a drink but two pieces of beef? unacceptable.

i really hope they will fix this problem cause i really did like this restaurant.

absolutely love the service here! the price is totally reasonable and affordable! been here almost once a week since school startedxd

student special # 3 is one of the best thing they offer! i love the portion and therollsthat come with

strengths and weaknesses. a fast-food sushi place is a welcome addition to regina. the first time that i went, i had the salmon sashimi which was perfect and served nicely chilled. the second time that i went, however, i ordered the same but this time the fish was served way too cold which detracted from the experience. i also ordered a tempura udon which was served extremely hot to the point that it was not possible to eat it without waiting for it to cool down (or getting burned). the problem is that as i waited, the tempura inside the broth got soggy. so i had the sashimi too cold, and the soup too hot (with soggy tempura)... i also tried two of their jumborolls(and they have several smothered in japanese mayo--which, i must admit, i like a lot). i tried their pronto roll and their mango roll. both were pretty good. so on the whole, this place is neither absolutely great (like some reviews suggest) nor terrible (like other reviews suggest). the place certainly serves sushi that is good enough but they need to pay much closer attention to the food they serve. sashimi should be nicely chilled (not icy cold), udon should be hot but not burning the tongue and the lettuce in the california salad needs to be a lot less and fresher (or even non existent; while i do not know this for sure, i highly doubt that in japan they serve salads that are primarily lettuce). despite the limitations that i mentioned, i think that i can have an enjoyable quick meal there and i would go back.
