The best sushi in Winnipeg, in my opinion. But in the recent years they have become very pricey... That is why we just stopped going there. :(
The sushi is awesome here, i was a little let down last time but ill put that down to been busy. The rolls are delicious and flavorful. You can taste the freshness of the rice, not stale like other places in the city. Value is good as you definitely get what you pay for here.im picky about sushi and I find this is my best place for sushi in the city
Only two things that are a big put off
1) The place really,really needs proper ventilation. Feels like eyes are burning due to smoke in this restaurant.and has been like that on numerous occasions.
2) It is very small and only caters about 30 max.
Great sushi! The ambiance was a tad lacking, service is mediocre, but the sushi was great!
Of note is the Alaska Roll - I cannot recommend it highly enough. It was simply delicious; the cream sausage made it amazing.
Go try it!
Sooooooooo good. Bank account hurts, i can't control myself!
Sashimi is very fresh.
Gomae sauce and wakame salad are delicious.
Small place and music is not so original but loving the food and staff.
For sure my go to sushi place. Best tempura calamari I've had in a sushi place! It's a small little hidden gem that was recommended to me by a friend, and I've gone to other places here and there, but found nothing else satisfied me like this place. Sushi is good, clean and tasty! Plus the complimentary ice cream you get after your meal is amazing! Super fluffy and rich, I cannot get enough.
I'd say the best sushis I've ever tried. I've been going to this restaurant for about 6 years now. Initially, 6 years ago, the prices were really good, but at some point they started to go up which was very frustrating for me, as it was the only sushi place I went to. Now, I go to other sushi restaurants more often than Sushi Kuni, less good and less expensive, but their sushis are still super delicious and from time to time, I come there again.
We went there for dinner for the first time this past week. The sushi and sashimi were awesome ! It was all reasonably priced and the service was wonderful. It's a clean restaurant and we had a nice walk to the forks after dinner. This might be our new go to sushi place 😀

So I ordered from Sushi Kuni a couple weeks ago from skip the dishes, was craving some sushi and I wanted to try a different place. We got veggie tempura, shrimp tempura and I got tuna and salmon sashimi and my husband got a couple rolls. I have to say it was very good. So yesterday I had a craving for seafood and I thought of Sushi Kuni right away and I would be dining alone, so I ordered the veggie tempura and shrimp tempura and the same sashimi, it was wonderful, the pieces of fish were plump and tender and melted in my mouth just like it should. The tempura shrimp are big yet light and the veggie tempura has a great selection in it for veggies. I look forward to visiting the restaurant soon to try other things.
Finally went and ate in the restaurant last night for my birthday. I had called to see if I needed a reservation and she suggested I make one because it can be busy, so I did. Walked in and it wasnt busy at all. Waited for my friends to show up and we ordered, I got 9 pieces of sashimi, it was so good, big thick pieces of fish, so yummy! and I got shrimp tempura, veggie tempura and I wanted to try the calamari, it all came out fast and hot. Calamari wasnt what I thought it was going to be, it was sitting in a sauce so we had to eat it fast because it was becoming soggy. Everyone elses rolls came out fast except for my boyfriends, the waitress missed one roll and when he brought it up to her she seemed pissed off a bit. She was very pleasant, like she didnt want to be working. We were the last ones to leave, went to pay and they just seemed not interested in saying good bye and thank you, which I find to be rude, most sushi places the chefs will say thank you when you leave but they didnt. We dropped a 100$ alittle more smiles and a more welcoming atmosphere would be nice. Thats my only beef.
I eat here probably once every couple weeks sometimes more and it's one of my favourite sushi places. It's such good quality sushi for an extremely good price
My all-time favourite sushi place. The sushi is delicious, a great variety of rolls, lots to choose from, always fresh and never too greasy, or overpowering in anyway . The prices are very reasonable, honestly they could be as high the more expensive places like Wasabi, but you get great food for a great price. The service is always kind, friendly, and quick. The restaurant itself is sort of small, but lots of natural light from the big windows that over look Provencher. It is clean, and simple but nicely decorated. The chefs work at the sushi bar, so you can see that your food is being created in a clean environment. Whenever it's been awhile since I've eaten there, I am always blown away by how good it is, and I wonder why I ever order from other places. I recommend the Sue Roll, TNT Roll, Dragon Roll, and honestly anything else because it's all sooooooo tasty!
Best sushi in the city! Super fresh and tasty... Service was excellent and loved the free ice cream at the end of the meal. Was a great experience overall and we plan to return!
This is definitely our go to sushi spot! Great sushi and we're always surprised at how little is costs. Quick and friendly service. The only time we had a bit of a wait for food (and it wasn't a long wait at all) they brought us over an extra appetizer, which was very nice but not necessary. They also bring you ice cream at the end of your meal.
Great sushi! I've been coming here since the restaurant opened and have never been disappointed. The service is always great and the prices are extremely reasonable.

This place is a gem! The sushi here tastes really good and at a nice price. As mentioned by others, the ratio to rice and filling is perfect. Also, the service is good. The environment is inviting, the chiefs take a moment to greet you when coming in or thank you on your way out. They also offer Korean dishes. You must try the Yakiudon (thick rice noodle stir fry), it is very tasty. Simple/traditional rolls are extremely affordable.A Salmon Maki is $2.95, the salmon isn't fishy or warm. You get quality for what you pay for compared to other sushi places. When you order take out, they provide you with chopsticks, a napkin, and soya sauce. They also provide you with ginger and wasabi in little containers that is separated from the sushi. They do not close in the middle of the day where most places do. So when you have your mid day sushi craving, it can be satisfied here. I highly recommend you give it a try, Both dine in and take out are available. I rated this place very high, keep in mind it is based on what you're paying and getting. This is not your high end sushi where every roll/dish will break your bank!
Really good sushi! Great rice to fish/filling ratio. Their nigiris are pretty great, I love their tuna nigiri - so much fish.
Their rolls are amazing too. Nicely seasoned rice, not too much rice, and texture is not mushy and gross. I really like their vegetarian rolls, often some vegetarian rolls lack filling... but not this place, because there is so much avocado and other goodies jam packed in the rolls. Have not much to say but this place on St. Boniface has a good reputation for a reason!
Absolutely fabulous, I will return! Went for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, had the special as well as some squid to start. The squid was done in tempura and rivaled every where else that I have had calamari. This was different, it is Japanese, but it was great. Service was wonderful. Sushi to die for. if you haven't you must try this restaurant you will not be disappointed.
Dynamite!
Consistantly good. Each time I go it has been good. Service is fast and has a good selection. Lunch boxes are a good value- plenty of food.
We were just there for a late lunch.
Walked in and we where greeted with a warm smile.
Service was like we were guests at someone's home. Our order was prepared and presented by people who obviously love food.
A real treat!
Will be going back!
WOW!!!. For the past 7 years me and my boyfriend have frequented one sushi place. We have tried others, but have been so disappointed. My friends, though, asked if we could meet them at this place. We gave in. But wow, it will be a toss up between this place and our other! The rolls were fresh, the sushi was amazing. Everything tastes great. The service was pretty good. And we were surprised at the total in the end, much lower than anticipated. Oh AND it came with iced cream!
Excellent Quality & Selection. I was here last night on a whim after a meeting at the St Boniface Library in the same building around 8pm. I started with Goma Ae which was perfectly cooked spinach in a very tasty sesame sauce; the portion was very generous. I then tried the Agedasi Tofu which they offer spicy and this was another winner with lovely crisped wedges of tofu in a slightly sweet yet spicy dashi broth. I was impressed. I also ordered the Avocado Shiitake roll and the Killer Tuna. roll. Both were flavourful with great presentations. I was amazed at the amount of tuna in the Killer Tuna roll with tuna inside, layered on top, then yet more minced in sauce on top of that and all for only $12.95. It wasn't all full of cucumber filler which was a nice surprize ! At the end of my meal I received a complimentary dish of ice cream I wasn't expecting so bonus !! Service was polite, friendly and prompt. I highly recommend you try Sushi Kuni next time you are in the St Boniface area.
Just a great experience. Food was soooo good. Very flavourful and the presentation was amazing. They even brought our 18 month old a little platter of diced mango and avocado free of charge! We will be back for sure.
We go every week. Sushi Kuni has become our go to sushi place.... we go at least once a week! We love it. Everything is fresh and delicious and very very reasonable priced.
We strongly recommend!
Fantastic selection of unique delicious items plus a great set of intro dishes for the uninitiated! Best subomono in the city, chefs are always surprising patrons with creative freebies they are testing or judt for fun! In fact, this is one of the few sushi places that practices the art fully in the presentation and it shows. Service us always over the top attentive.
Brought my sushi-virgin boyfriend and it was a great way to introduce him this food :) delicious and fantastic service!
Yummy food, extremely friendly, exceptional service. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive, the chef made sure to ask how our food was. On top of that they gave us ice cream. Would go back merely for the fact that these were exceptional people that made the experience that much better.

Good sushi place in St. B. Not many options for sushi if you're in St. Boniface so I was happily surprised by how good Sushi Kuni is. They are located at the foot of the Provencher Bridge on the St. B side. I remember this place when it was a Tunisian restaurant several years back. I wasn't sure how busy this place would be but there's definitely a good following here. The bento lunch specials are pretty generous and are $7.95-$11.95 with a few options. I opted a ala carte and really enjoyed the crazy tuna roll (spicy tuna, cucumber, green onion and fish eggs) $5.95 - good rice texture and balance of flavours, portion size (not too big not too small) with srricha sauce. Yum. I would order this roll again. The salmon nigiri was $3.95 for two pieces and tasted decent though not the best I've had but it was good. The maguro gomae was the only disappointing item at $6.95 - the portion size was generous but there was just too much sauce which was too overwhelming.
Best part is you get a scoop of complimentary vanilla ice cream with some chocolate drizzle at the end of your meal. I thought it was only for the bento box orders but I got one too! Nice.
Nice staff and fast service. The room is really open and airy. I'd definitely come back for lunch.
A new favourite spot!. Delicious sushi with a perfect balance of rice to massive amounts stuff inside. Fast service and reasonable prices. Every special roll we got was monstrous by comparison to some other places I've visited. Left ultra full and satisfied... even a complimentary dish of ice cream for dessert. Highly recommend.
Lovely Place. I took a big group here for my birthday and it was a great experience. Great food, pleasant atmosphere and reasonable prices.
Great Customer Service!. I love Sushi Kuni! The service is great, the food is delicious and you always get a little something extra. I definitely recommend!
Nice place for lunch. Sushi Kuni has great lunch deals, with lots of good food (salad, soup, edamane, tempura) for less then $10. Good clean enviorment, never busy, very friendly staff and free ice cream when the meal is done. Not the best sushi in the world but great deal for your money.
Read the reviews on urbanspoon and decided to take a chance... boy was it a great gamble! Not only were they super friendly the sushi was delicious for the price which was cheap only $32 for 3 descent rolls and an appetizer. Quiet and romantic.
After we ate we were getting up to leave and they surprised us with icecream!
GREAT sushi, great price. I've been eating here for about 4 months now, once a week, this sushi is amazing!!! Huge rolls, amazing taste!!! Anyone who likes sushi HAS to try Kuni!!!!
One of the best sushi restaurants I've tried in wpg!
Great party food. I ordered two party platters that were delivered on time, looked beautiful, and tasted great. There were several interesting and creative combinations for the vegetarian option. Our guests were all impressed. The staff went out of their way to make this work for me. I'll definitely do this again.
Excellent prices and fast, friendly service. Must try the crazy tuna roll!
Awesome!!. I went to try this restaurant few days ago and had dinner with my friends. The owner and workers were extremely friendly. They seemed young and they knew and they made me and my friends very comfortable with their service and food. Also the price wasn't bad at all compared to other restaurants. If I live nearby, I'd visit it a lot more often.
I love this place. It has the best presentation. The staff is super nice. And there's hardly anyone in there so u get prompt service. The ocean crab roll and the catipillar is my favorite! Not the cheapest but very reasonable. I definAtely recommend this place!
These guys are Awesome!! Always friendly and prompt, and the food is delicious. Under new management in the past couple of months, and I have nothing but good to say!!

+4.5
Affordable, really good sushi (keep in mind, we are vegetarian). But we thought it was such good value last night, we're going back tonight. Server was very friendly - but the place was empty on a Friday night. I think if they dimmed the lights a little it would give the place less of a lunchroom atmosphere. Music could definitely be better. Altogether - wish there was a sushi joint in my hometown that was this cheap and good.
Great food. I have tried almost every roll they have to offer and found that they are all awesome. The food is always fresh and the service is fantastic. By far the best place for sushi I have found in the city so far
Great deal for bento. We only went there once for the first time. We ordered the Sushi Kuni bento, the portion is right, the price is right ($8.99), taste is good (not the best). The best thing is that the bento is available anytime. The server is so friendly.
We definitely want to come back again to try other dishes.
Great food, great service. The service was incredible, very attentive. Sushi was fresh and delicious, amazing presentation. Restaurant was clean. Overall an excellent experience.
I was pleasantly surprised with this Asian restaurant located on the French side of town. This was my first time visiting the restaurant as I don’t normally travel to this end of town. I was heading to the Festival du Voyageur with my sister and my two kid cousins (ages 12 and 14). Prior to the festival, we decided to go out for sushi and this restaurant, located conveniently at the corner of Provencher and Tache, came up on Urban Spoon and we decided to check it out. As we walked in, we were greeted immediately and courteously. It was about 6PM on a Saturday night and the restaurant wasn’t too busy so we were able to choose our table. All four of us were handed menus as the server went to the back to grab us waters and Chinese tea. I have to say, the most disappointing part of our meal had to be the tea. One of my cousins pointed out that it didn’t have any taste to it. She was right, it was practically just warm water. Dynamite roll without the spicy mayonnaise sauce.
Best sushi place in Winnipeg hands down. Been coming here for 6 years and won’t stop anytime soon. Only forgot to give them a review because I’m too busy eating.
Love Sushi Kuni. St. Boniface resident for years and frequently dine in and take out. Excellent sushi and staff are super friendly. Was very child friendly when my kids were small. Highly recommend.
My friends and I had such a good time at this place. The food is high quality, the staff personnel and the owner are friendly.
Thanks for adding value to our trip in Winnipeg.
*we don't have photos. When you are having a great time, you forget about these kind of activities.
A quaint little restaurant just off the Stephenson Hwy. Near enough to The Forks & main St Boniface attractions. The server was attentive, despite being the only one on the floor. There were a lot of take-out orders coming through, but the chef seemed to prioritize well because we got our food at a desirable waiting time.
The food itself was pretty good; normal rolls were fresh and straightforward. If you do go here, try at least one of their special rolls, because that is where they shine. They have one of the more creative and eye-catching plates of special rolls in town at this certain price range.
SUSHI PIZZA: It had a really nice crust and the salmon worked really well with their sauce. I also can't complain about the overload of yam flakes on it because I love those
DYNAMITE ROLL: Opted for the spicy dynamite and the shrimp tempura inside was nice and crunchy.
Definitely more on the casual side and open environment.
I've eaten here more than once. It's a cute Korean run Japanese restaurant. The tuna gomae is a good deal with spinach, avocado and tuna. I was less impressed with the Tako kimchi, the portion felt smaller considering price compared to other places in the city. Presentation was nice though.
I included a picture of one of their basic maki's as I think it's a sign of a good restaurant. The price was good for the amount of fish.
The ramen soup was good even if it was made with what was reminiscent of instant noodles.
I will continue to frequent this place now that I live around here. Will keep you up to date on it's food and may modify it's Stars to reflect it's growth. I noticed it was nominated for one of the best sushi place in the metro. They were asking for votes.

Very cute space. Great location and very polite staff. We had miso soup and wakame salad to start, then I had 3 veggie rolls and my sister that the bibimbap and the CSS roll. We both shared a pot of green tea.
Pros :
The wakame was excellent! Was a great taste and texture and beautiful plating. We both loved out main plates. For myself the veggie rolls could have had cream cheese as an option or even some spicy sauce dabbled on to the plate, but all in all it was tasty, and fresh. My sister absolutely loved bibimbap hot dish where the egg yolk ran into the dish once punctured. Her smoked salmon smelled so decadent and she said it was amazeballs.
Less of a pro :
The green tea was a tea bag, when buying tea in a restaurant I would expect it to be loose leaf and have that fresh full flavour.
And the miso had a very gritty texture and more of a salty flavour than I would like to see in a miso. Also it would be nice to see a sushi place offer a gluten-free tempura option.
Overall I would definitely go here again!
Best sushi place I've been to. Good prices too everything taste so fresh and yummy!!! We'll definitely be back more often.
