    In short: Good sushi, friendly staff, good atmosphere.

    Maybe one of the best places for sushi in downtown Kingston, good prices. We've been here a few times and although we have ordered different items from their menu, a must-have is their sushi pizza. We ALWAYS order the portobello mushrooms sushi pizza. No, it's not a real pizza, so don't worry. Go for it! We remember it with love and it's something you don't usually find in sushi restaurants, and if you do they do not compare to the one serve here.

    Went there again this past Saturday. I really enjoy the atmosphere of this place. The service is so discreet and friendly! They had been closed for a week or two for a holiday and I was genuinely happy when they re-opened. I tried the spicy Tuna roll this time, which I did not really enjoy to be honest. The tuna was a little 'off' according to my pallet but the dynamite and spicy salmon rolls continue to be good for me. The sushi is not quite Toronto (or Vancouver, for that matter) level but it is very good nonetheless.

    Considering, oh, I dunno, 20 years ago Kingston's idea of 'ethnic' food would have been spaghetti and meat balls (or Portuguese sausage) the diverse food options that are now available in Ktown are quite impressive. So happy to have Sima at this location (an old Ben and Jerrys) and indulge in some delightful Japanese treats.

    I would honestly say that SIMA is probably the best sushi place in town. The food is served fresh, the staff are friendly and smile (a bit of a rarity in many of the sushi places I've been to) and the sushi is divine!

    The place is a little small, but they've worked well with the space they've been given and it's still a relaxing atmosphere.

    The dinner menu is a little overpriced ( Amount of sushi VS. cost), but the lunch menu is quite reasonable. And since it only takes about 5 minutes for the sushi to be made for take out, dropping in and getting yourself a little lunch is worth it at this place.

    Best sushi joint in Kingston (better than Niji, which is a decent second). Very very crowded inside, and service isn't attentive (took us around 25 minutes to get our minimal order. Quality is similar to Toronto/Vancouver, albeit for double the price.

    A new sushi joint in downtown Kingston which is a decent addition to the scene.

    A small place well located downtown. The chirashi is solid with quality fresh fish. Small, manageable cuts. A slightly strange seasoned squid and rice but overall as good as anything else in the area. California roll was well constructed and above average. The emphasis seems mostly on quality sushi although I'll try the hot stuff next time.

    Overall, another welcome option to the limited Japanese/sushi options in town. Convenient location for me but if I have a real craving, I'm still headed north on Princess to Discover Japan or Sushi Ya.

    Was our favorite place (now a close second) to go for sushi in Kingston. The sushi is fresh and always good. If you're going for lunch, get the Sima Lunch Set. Good deal and a good variety of sushi. Great location and the service is always amazing!
    Reservations are recommended.

    One of the better sushi joints in Kingston. I had the Sima Lunch Set (sashimi, sushi, california roll and comes with miso soup and salad but the latter two aren't anything special) and everything was very fresh and beautifully plated. It is always a delight when there is an extra piece of sashimi on the plate -- I got 7 pieces whereas the menu says 6 pieces!

    I also had tako yaki as a starter. I became a big fan of tako yaki during my visit to Osaka (the home of). Nothing in North America comes close but this place had one of the best tako yaki that I've tasted outside of Japan. An order is a plate of four balls, each with a big octopus chunk inside (unlike some places that skimp on the octo), nicely deep fried, and yummy gooeyness on the inside. If it's on the Specials board and you haven't tried tako yaki before, I'd recommend it highly.
