Review from Sergei S.
Winnipeg, MB
In my opinion this is by far the best Sushi restaurant in town. I've been going to Yujiro for years and never had less than perfect experience. Ingredients are always fresh and of the highest quality while prices are very reasonable.
If you prefer giant rolls with tons of rice on them or all-you-can-eat sushi, don't bother coming. This is sushi done right, byte sized pieces, wonderful presentation, always the best and freshest ingredients. They do have daily specials, combination (bento) specials and a lower priced lunch time menu, though.
If you want to sample of variety of items without breaking the bank, I highly recommend trying one of the bento/package specials, like Yujiro special. You get a miso soup, bowl of rice, 8-10 small pieces of sashimi, two rolls (California is heavenly here), side salad or an appetizer and a desert, all for less than $18. Daily specials are great for discovering something new, there you'll find less common, but pretty amazing dishes.
The place is not huge, but very comfortable, tastefully decorated and well suited for a romantic dinner. I can see it working for bigger groups of 8-12 people as well. There's also a sushi bar, where you can enjoy your food after you watch chef prepare it right in front of you.
The owner and chef, Masa, is one of the very few real Japanese chefs from Japan that operate in Winnipeg. Also, one of the longest in business. This is not a run of the mill, Korean owned "Japanese" restaurants that seem to have spread through the city in the recent years. This is one of the very few authentic Japanese sushi restaurants, you won't find metal chopsticks here. -

Great sushi place. Food is great, service is good. I always get the tuna salad roll and the sunomono salad. Delish!

The Skinny: great sushi with awesome unique truly Japanese specials (4.5) service is solid (4) value - for what you get, it's really reasonable (4.5).
This is by far and away the best Japanese traditional restaurant in town. Period.
It's also a favourite neighbourhood haunt for most people so make reservations as they can be booked up quite quickly.
Their fish is extraordinarily fresh and well priced. Their sushi is well made too - not too firm, not too soft so that the rolls fall apart.
They have a great selection of a la carte menu items of which I am a fan. Namely 1) the daikon salad, 2) Japanese yam tempura, 3) amaebi with the fried heads (oh yeah!), 4) the uni is divine!. If you are a fan of Japanese desserts, try their fresh mochi with red bean and ice cream (when they have it)- you won't regret it. Specials are quite traditional yet change all the time reflecting what is available and in season.
Finally, they have great lunch specials - that's right, dudes - they are open for lunch and their bentos are a great deal. -

For a city that is suffering from one tooo many sushi places this has been one of my favorites for a long time. When they moved quite a while ago from their much smaller location on academy to here I was worried they would "lose there way" If last night's snack was an example they are still among the best in the city. We dropped by for a quick bite on the way through and we sampled an appetizer and three other rolls, they were all fresh, well presented, and very good tasting. I keep to what I have said before this is one of the top three in the city, and worth the trip.

This is my favourite sushi spot in town. It's not the cheapest, but it's not overpriced like a more well-known local chain. The service is always great, too.
