Doraku- it'd been a while. Of course, with a visitor in town who happens to be proactive in sushi shananigans, a reunion was imminent. Hop to it!

Yes to this intrinsic setting. Privacy is ensured with secluded booths and a space all your own-- which…More »

    My cousin-- the sushi nut-- advised me to stop in to Doraku for some of Halifax's best Japanese… Read more »

Minato may close its doors for the month of October, but with a sudden rebirth of sushi desire-- I'll sweat out the wait. Teetering its two-story presence on the upper crust of Queen Street (ooh the sweet line of vintage and clothing boutiques), this…More »

Dharma Sushi has been on my radar for some time now, and with a scaling of both positive and negative feedback, I think this is the sort of thing one must try and take into their own hands. And this, I did.

No negative feedback to report-- my sushi…More »

Fujiyama is a spot I came across purely by referral. It was a birthday celebration with some besties, and we'd opted for a cosy evening of drinks and take-out sushi. For me, it was lands of the unknown... I have my top-spots on mental file. Alas...…More »

No time for the full meal deal? Doraku offers a take-out express on the lower level of Spring Garden Place Mall. I hopped down for a peak one afternoon last week, and let me tell you-- the line up was knee-deep.

Mind you, it was lunch hour and…More »

My own experience at Hamachi House has never been short of lovely. This is a spot offering good sushi in a demure and thoughtful setting.

I see this restaurant as a great spot for a date. The space is small and intimate, whilst carrying the buzz of a…More »

A quick dip into sushi realms without spending a fortune. Sushi Nami offers an array all fans of the cuisine would expect, but somehow this little resto experience borders mediocre.

Not a huge sushi goer myself, I do tag along with a few addicts with…More »
