Review East Izakaya - St. Catharines

Ben

Great quality sushi for a good price! The sashimi was very tender and fresh, shrimp tempura (not pictured) was so juicy and flavorful, and the dragon rolls were melt in your mouth good! $40 per person for AYCE and it's NOT buffet-style so no need to worry about other people!

This is a great place for everyone. It has so many choices of food to eat from and the best part is that you can do all you can eat and get twice more food than what you get at a restaurant like AppleBees for $100. I recommend this restaurant everyone with families, couples or going by yourself. This restaurant also has a lot of vegan choices so do not worry if you are vegan! When I am in St.Catherine’s again, I will always come here.

Visited Niagara region as well as St. Catherines over the weekend and had the pleasure to eat lunch here, dinner menu. Very delicious, didn’t have to wait too long and friendly stuff. The whole restaurant and bathroom very clean also! Great atmosphere for dining.

We have been going here since it opened. First time back since before covid and it was absolutely delicious! The same delicious food and same ambiance we always come for. We will be back!

My favourite sushi in Niagara. Great food when you dine in and just as good take out. —————————————————————————— Came for dinner today and to no surprise food is top notch. However, I was surprised with the service. We were not asked once if we wanted a refill on our drinks or maybe a simple checkup through our meal. I did not remove a star as the server did ask when we were already having desert. A tad bit too late. I hope this was just a one off.

So much food in so little time! I had a great time with my family today. Servers were nice. My mom wants to come back again.

Pleasantly surprised with how tasty & fresh all the sushi was. Mango & avocado were perfect ripeness. Provided generous wasabi, soy & ginger portions. Will definitely order takeout again!

Great sushi selection and very good flavours! Favourite was the shrimp mango and green dragon. The mars bars here are also really good for dessert.

We eat at a LOT of sushi places all across North America and our visit to East Izakaya was breathtaking! From the superb quality of each and every dish, to the very interesting and creative menu items, to the Brazilian-BBQ-like table service, this is without a doubt the best sushi restaurant of the dozens we have been to. Peak times can be busy, quite understandably, but our mid-afternoon visit was without compromise and just a perfect meal experience! I can't recommend this place highly enough. We'll be back again and again!

We have been here twice before and loved it. Tonight was different. The wrong food kept coming to our table and then being taken away. Our second round of ordered food never came over a half hour of waiting. When we talked to our server.. We asked for just dessert and cancel all our food. Dessert came in seconds. The newly sat table beside us got their first round of food during us waiting and they had similar rolls etc. So it was like we were cut off and just expected to sit for no reason. It was embarrassing as we brought friends From BC there. They were so impressed with the experience but sadden that they couldnt try things they saw on the menu that never arrived. Last night definetly has us sticking to our local sushi restaurants. We won't make the drive for that to happen again.

Travel from Hamilton to Milton to get friends then to St Catherine for best sushi in southern Ontario. Great atmosphere, friendly staff that remembers you and acknowledges you even if not there area for the evening. All others sushi places are fast food.....with the exception of Wind haha

Jamie Meyer Rimovsky

Love this place! The quick click ordering makes it so easy to get a little bit of everything! Love that you can mix up the veggies with the meat n the seafood! The octopi skewers and the sushi were incredibly fresh! Loved the battered pumpkin n fruits! Very satisfying! Want to bring it back to the states with me! Thank you for the incredible food and Awesome hospitality!

It was fantastic! I hadn't been there since they renovated...wow looks great! The wait staff explained the touch pad and how they operate and didn't assume I knew which was good because I am not good at asking. They had a person come around with different scewers of meat and fruit to choose from which was an added touch. All in all it was a great meal...everything was fresh and so delicious 😃

Lee our server is very excellent server. Very good sushi. We love it . Definitely going back again and try the dinner menu.

Hayley Woehl

Everything was mushy and bland; it made me nauseous. I am a sushi lover, but this place was so bad that I’m going to be avoiding sushi for a while. One more bite and I would have been sick. Unfortunately, this was my mother’s first time out to a real sushi restaurant, and now she never wants to eat sushi again. UPDATE: I threw up all of my food not even 10 minutes after I got home. I'm disgusted.
