Great spot for all you can eat. Service can be a little slow, however, the sushi is great. The chicken icon and beef using tastes fantastic.

I would give 1 ½ starts, so I was nice in giving 2. If you have been to Japan or even ate Japanese food found in Vancouver/Toronto, your going to be very disappointed. I can cook more traditional Japanese food from home. Very limited in things, and nothing like real Japanese items; only the stereotypical ideas of Japanese foods. Great for people who never had real Japanese flavours, as it is very westernised. As for me, I expected more since living in Japan for almost two years. With the ability to get decent recipes online, and the ability to get many things online to help you in making other items, you can do better.

Came back for some sushi as I had a hankering for some. I asked the server what were the most popular rolls and she mentioned the spicy tuna. So I ordered a spicy tuna, spicy salmon and a rainbow roll. All were okay for my expectations. I’ll be honest with you, I’m not a sushi snob, okay maybe I’m a bit spoiled as my level of measure is Vancouver and Toronto sushi. Sushi is okay, not wow amazing but decent. Size is not huge of the rolls but it fits the need! I know I will be back if I feel like sushi but don’t come here thinking it’s Nobu or you shall be disappointed!

We technically wanted to have more seafood(well, sushi could be it?) in Newfoundland, but we tried Sun Sushi anyway. Food was ok, the salmon scallop roll is really yummy but it took them really long to get us the food. If you are starved, don’t come here. Tea was good too. Might come back…

Had a decent meal here. Enjoyed the sushi rolls and beef teriyaki. Service was attentive. Will be back to try more items on the menu.

Personally, service usually makes or breaks an experience, and the service here is always slow and fairly inattentive. I’m a vegetarian, so I can’t speak about the quality of the fish, but their vegetable tempura rolls are alright, and their avocado rolls have a lot of avocado, so that’s good. Vegetable quality can vary though, as it’s hard to get decent greens on the island.

The service is hit or miss here. Miso soup is complimentary and decent(though it could use more tofu pieces). Their rolls are very good. It’s true that most of their seafood is pre-frozen… but they do the best with what they have. I get take out from here about once a week. Their specialty roles are definitely the best choice, specifically the green dragon roll. All their tempura dishes are also top notch! The noodle bowls are terrible, way to salty, avoid at all costs. The are a little pricey, but what isn’t in this town these days! I definitely recommend checking this place out, as long as you know that it’s not the best sushi in the world, but it’s definitely the best in Newfoundland!

Ongoing sushi cravings often force me into uncomfortable situations, like visiting St. John’s only sushi bar(Basho is more upscale Japanese, right?) despite hearing mixed reviews. Luckily, it was not as bad as some people said. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as great as some people said. The good: — Miso soup was complimentary and brought out to the table upon arrival. — The spicy mayo used has more kick to it than most which was a happy surprise. — Tempura bits were well managed in their respective rolls. Not too much, not too little. The bad: — Service was spotty, slow, and inattentive. We had to go up and ask for our bill. — The rice was pretty mushy and unappealing. Hence the importance of tempura bits for texture. — The special vegetable roll of some sort just tasted like boiled veggies. — Sapporo was $ 9. All in all, I could have gone with a three-star because some parts were a-okay, but in the end, I think most sushi fans will have had much, much better.

tried this place several times. Only once was I pleasantly suprised nothing was bad. Bad customer service, the fish is usually frozen(yes, frozen … you bite through ice crystals) :)

This sushi place was alright. I understand it can’t be amazing because of location and lack of high quality and certain ingredients. Such as having no raw tuna for sashimi, instead overly seared tuna that was poor quality. The rice I ordered was like mush it was very overcooked. A lot of their seafood has been previously frozen which causes it to lose its natural juices and flavor when thawed. Its always better to have fresh seafood especially if your going to eat it raw. I guess if your really craving sushi in St. John’s you could try this place out.

Really good sushi, I’ve been to sushi bars all over and this place is better than many. Lots of choice, great service and good quality.
