Niwa Japanese Restaurant

Review: WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! so i've read all these great reviews and i decided to go one day by myself at lunch to bench the quality and quantity of the food before i recommend it to my colleagues since we were trying to find a GOOD japanese retaurant close to our work. anyway, i left STARVING and had to buy a sub cause i was so hungry. don't get me wrong, the food was decent, the service was excellent, but when my food came, i thought it was an hors d'oeuvres, i ordered a sashimi and sushi combo and the thickness of the fish was no more than 5mm for BOTH and i'm not even exaggerating. $17 (including tax and tip) is not worth it at all.. i know it's supposed to be lunch portion but i have never seen it so small in any jap restaurant in any country!

i'm hoping someone would tell me the dinner portinos are completely different cause i was really wishful of this place being the one!

Review: I am not kidding. This is the first time I hear Japanese spoken among the staff at a Japanese restaurant.
The others I have been to, spoke mainly Cantonese and Mandarin. That heightened my expectation.
And they did not disappoint.
The service was ernest, the food was great. The taste of the sushi was comparable to what you can get in Japan. No, even better than those served in big hotel restaurants in Japan.
They should move out of the inconspicuous location. Their food deserves better.

Review: Great little restaurant! The sushi is some of the best i've ever had, the service is good and the value amazing, especially the daily lunch specials.

Review: One of the best sushi restaurants I have ever been to.

Review: I love it here! just can't get enough... and no other sushi in the area can quite compare in my opinion!

Review: Love the food and the service here, good sushi at a good price

Review: Love coming here as a student, always quick service for take out, and very decent for sit in. Great prices, always nice people :D Definitely going back :D

Review: My boyfriend and me go here about once a week. We both love it! The food is the best I have had in all the GTA, the atmosphere is nice and clean and the service is great. We have brought quite a few people here who have never tried sushi for their first experiences and now they all go on their own and love it too!
I highly recommend this restaurant!

Review: Excellent food at a great price!!!! Friendly service. Enjoy the take out and eat in!

Review: i love niwa. the place was decorated so nicely, the food was really good. the prices may seem expensive, but you get a lot for your order. it comes with a house salad, miso soup, rice, and fruit.
