Great ambiance! Went with a friend and got a dragon roll, spicy salmon and sashimi rice mix. The portions are great and sashimi is fresh. I'd definitely recommend this place.
First time at this restaurant today! I'm glad that I came in before 5:30pm, because they were full by 6:15! Obviously a very popular spot for the weekend dine out in the neighborhood. First thing I noticed outside the restaurant was they accept "credit card" sign, I absolutely refuse to go to places where they only accept cash.
I sat at the booth near the cashier, across from where I sat was the sushi bar. The place was pretty clean! The booth space where I sat was spacious! There were 2 of us sitting at the table but you can tell it easily fits 4 or even 6. The service was very good and very prompt! I ordered the Salmon Teriyaki Zen let me tell you the portion is huge with california rolls, tempura, sushi and rice and I am not a small eater. My husband ordered the Kalbi dinner and I took one and tried. I am normally not a big meat eater but I have to say the taste was so good I had a second piece of beef rib. Being that it was my first time there, I was not aware that they give out such generous portions! Both dishes were very good! The beef ribs were nicely flavored.
Overall this meal was very good! Nice clean place with display showing japanese music videos, although I have no idea what they were singing but it was entertaining, and most importantly the music wasn't loud and not disturbing our dinner. I'll definitely return to try their other offerings!
Much better than AYCE. I have been eating sushi for many years and have always been going to AYCE restaurants. Until my wife told me the $$ I spent eating AYCE isn't worth it, meaning how much can you stuff yourself anyway. Plus honestly there is a difference between the quality of food AYCE offers vs. a high class sushi restaurant. The freshness of fish is quite apparent. I am genuinely happy with the sushi I had at aroowha sushi and really enjoyed the atmosphere sitting dining in. Whether you pick this restaurant or another high class good quality sushi restaurant, you owe it to yourself to see the difference.
The sashimi lunch special is excellent.
Did take out and delicious food, fresh and very colorful... I love the home made soy sauce...mmmm.... even though they made one slight error on the take out, they actually gave us options to rectify their and neither option was us to run back :-)
This is my favorite sushi place not only because it is beside my house. I love their food - always fresh and tasty. Always good service, very clean and cozy place.

Good Quality. "No AYCE option."
Really? Like, really? To penalise something due to it being A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THING, is laughable.
If you want AYCE, go waste money on the garbage quality that 90% of AYCE restaurants have. Aroowha is miles better.
Gyoza was excellent, hand rolls had a ton of fish (though Koganei and Momiji are still better!), and everything tasted swell.
They have a roll with lobster and sweet potato that is amazing; I don't care much for sweet potato (in fact, unless they are deep-fried for fries, I despise the veggie), but the lobster made this roll spectacular. I'm a bit foolish forking out the high dough at these establishments for their top, premium roll, but I can assure you that these premium rolls are worth every penny.
Service is great as well! Return, we shall.
Well worth the price premium!. By far the best sushi I've had north of Steeles. Cannot even compare it to Ginza!
Besides the delicious fresh fish (large portions too), the decor and service stood out as well. Definitely will be coming back!
Fresh, creative and consistent!. Fresh fish is a must if you want to truly enjoy Japanese food. This place nails it every time. We ordered take out several times and ate there with and without kids and always left very impressed. Maki are super creative although they are a bit too big to get in one bite. You really do get good value for the money. Service is always attentive without being intrusive and our requests are always accommodated. Food comes out quickly but not too quickly. When you eat in, you get to finish your meal with a fruit salad, which is on the house. There are many Japanese restaurants in Thornhill, but this one truly stands out. Give it a try on a weeknight when the place is not busy and you will want to return. I know we will.
This place is awesome! The menu is kind of the same as all the other sushi places but they put their own twists in their dishes. Presentation of sushi is absolutely beautiful, the place is spotless, awesome service, the decor is very modern..., overall I love this place. It's a bit pricey for a local sushi restaurant but it's definitely worth it!
I forgot to leave a review sooner.
Ordered takeout for our dinner party a couple weeks ago. Everyone enjoyed it!
I have also been here for lunch to dine-in and the service was great! Good portions (I had to take some to go). Thank you! Will be coming back for more sushi! ^^
Walked in here one day during the week after work, got a medium size sushi & maki platter, the portion is generous. Quality of fish is 4 stars considering the price, and the tempura is crispy juicy - 5 stars, service is 👍 always ask me if I need more tea or not. Recommended !
Delicious sushi and sashimi. Had the 32 piece sashimi combo. Was a little too dominated by salmon sashimi but still delicious. Also got the dynamite roll and Orangeville roll. Both good but Orangeville was the best. Really good miso soup as well.
The BEST sushi, rolls and sashimi in the GTA. Always fresh and tasty.
Must try these rolls:
Salmon roll, Spicy Tuna roll,
Spicy Double Double roll (with salmon inside and on top!), Philadelphia roll (a very unique roll). 🥰
This has been my family's go-to sushi place! We've been ordering here for over a year now and it has never disappointed. We love their varieties in rolls, the sashimi, and they always give us extra ginger when we ask. Even my grandma, who is quite picky, loves their deep fried sushi rolls. Highly recommend trying their sushi!
