  • Order: white tuna sushi, salmon sushi, spicy tuna maki, spider maki

  • 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!

  • Order: Sushi combo twice (once combined with teriyaki). Shared sushi platter once with friends. Had some handrolls.

  • Review: Went there three times in January. The sushi is outstanding. The food is a good value. (One small weakness: They overdo it on Japanese mayo and crunchy stuff.)

    The service is always VERY friendly, but a couple of times somewhat slow. When it got crowded they had trouble keeping up.

  • Order: spicy salmon maki, tuna maki, miso soup, tempura, sweet potato noodles

  • Review: We enjoy Niwa's amazing sushi at least once a month...there is no better sushi in Oakville. The staff is very courteous and the care that they put in preparing the dishes is evident. We often call ahead for take away, and the order is always waiting for us when we get there, often with an extra soup or salad added as a bonus. Go to Niwa, you will leave full and happy!

  • Order: it was a few weeks ago cant remember the exact date so assumed 1.Party platter and a few other dishes. (Miso soup and rolls)

  • Review: We had to wait a long time to get seated and after we got a table they took forever to bring us menus. Then forever to take the order. The food was good but the bad service was extremely disappointing.

  • Order:

    Chirashi Dinner, Ikura, Tamago

  • Review: Good service, moderate food. I've visited about three times throughout two years and wasn't terribly impressed.

    The U-don ingredients are literally the packaged seafood mix and frozen vegetables you find at the dominion next to the store (I've purchased it before), Their Agedashi Tofu is soggy and bland.

    ...and the serving portions are small for its price. The food is about the same level as the cheaper sushi places in Toronto.

    The presentation of the dishes however are pretty nice and the service is welcoming. If you're craving sushi and it's convenient, it's certainly better than the garbage you can pick up at Dominion. If you have a car however, I'd suggest other places like Crazy Sushi or Mye.

    The food is always top notch. The staff is incredibly courteous. And I couldn't think of going anywhere else.

  • Order: Teriyaki dinners - chicken and salmon
    Soybean appetizer

  • Review: Not very good food - the teriyaki sauce was watery and did not have much flavour. The soybeans were soggy and not very tasty. We did enjoy the tempura. We had take out so not much to comment on the service although they did charge me double for one of the dinners.

  • Order: Rainbow Maki and Sushi dinners; Edamami appetizer

  • Review: We have eaten at this restaurant a number of times and always had excellent food, beautifully prepared and presented. The fish is melt-in-the-mouth fresh and the rice delicately flavoured - depending on the order. The staff is attentive and courteous.

  • Order: Medium Moriawase sushi platter. Mixture of sushi, california rolls and spicy tuna rolls.

  • Review: Been there a number of times. Food is always excellent, and the staff will recognize you after a few visits and welcome you even more warmly than the first time. Fish is fresh and tasty, and the cooked food is also delicious (the Kalbi dinner being a personal favourite)

  • Review: I have been to this place quite a few times and it is always delicious. The spicy rolls are great, and the fish is very fresh. The staff is always very friendly and the restaurant seems to be quite popular! One of the best sushi places in Oakville/Mississauga.

  • Order: Lunch special: rice, chicken teryaki, tempura, sashimi

    rainbow roll, spicy tuna roll, green tea ice cream

  • Review: It has been awhile since i've visited this restaurant, but once I found this website I decided that i wanted to write a review to say how much I loved this place

    we ordered one of the lunch specials, came with rice, sashimi pieces, chicken terryaki and tempura all in a bento box! we also ordered the softshell crab as an appetizer-- and it was mediocre, the batter was a little heavy for my liking... but the maki rolls we ordered, including the rainbow roll definitely made up for it!

    what was even better was that they gave us spicy salmon handrolls on the house! compliments of the sushi chef! it was probably the best dining experience i;ve had in oakville for sushi!

    the next time i visit oakville, i will definitely come to niwa! great ambiance, wonderful service, and the food was top notch.

  • Review: All food is delicious, sushi in partuicular is very fresh, rice has unique sweet flavor that is not found elsehwere. Spicy salmon hand rolls (maki) are to die for. Small restaurant, service OK but the food is top-notch.
