SUSHI ISLAND REVIEWS

Me and my Fiancé went there for our anniversary and the food was gourmet! The sushi roll and beef teriyaki dinner we ordered was so fresh and so tasty, music and atmosphere was amazing, all for an affordable price. Thank you so much for your service and hats off to the cooks!

With the great spot so automated Bella comes and bring beverages delivers your food and compliments. It’s amazing sushi was fresh. I ordered the bento lunchbox special which came with miso soup.

Mika and Carla made our experience at Sun Sushi exceptional! The food was 10/10 (I didn’t get a pic when it arrived), and their friendly service ensured we had everything we needed. I will be back good and hungry next time.

BASHO RESTAURANT & LOUNGE REVIEWS

This was our first time visiting Basho. We frequently visit St. John’s and very much enjoy the restaurant/food scene in town. This was one of my favourite meals I’ve had ever! The filet mignon was the best steak I’ve had in St. John’s hands down, the flavour was amazing and it was cooked perfectly. My husband had the special of the night which was the seafood steamer, which was mussels, scallops and shrimp in a Cajun cream sauce.. unreal!! He also had the spicy scallop roll which was so fresh and tasty. I can’t wait to visit again!

I have heard of Basho quite a few times and always wanted to try it. I got the chance today and I was not disappointed at all! Loved the sushi and the tempura I had! It was nothing less than authentic and was absolutely delicious! Although it was a bit pricy, but I think it's well within reasons.The servers were very professional and friendly too. They provided pretty good service.

Great meal that didn't disappoint! The Nobu new style Sashimi was exceptional and worth a try. The goat's cheese cheesecake was also an unexpected treat if you're looking for something different. Well done!

SUN SUSHI KENMOUNT STORE REVIEWS

This is hands down the best all-you-can-eat experience I’ve ever had! The variety and quality of the food are absolutely top-notch—you can taste the freshness in every bite. The 5-star service truly sets this place apart. The staff is incredibly attentive, friendly, and efficient, always making sure our dining experience was nothing short of amazing(10-levels better than the Torbay one). Plates were cleared promptly, drinks were refilled without asking, and their genuine smiles added warmth to the atmosphere. If you’re looking for unlimited food options without compromising on quality or service, this is ur first choice!!

The dining experience here is exceptional. The sushi is of outstanding quality, prepared with precision and care, and the variety offered is impressive. The service is equally remarkable, with attentive staff ensuring a seamless and enjoyable meal. Highly recommend for sushi enthusiasts seeking both excellent food and top-tier service.

Food and service are fantastic. Warm greetings and fast speed food prep time. Dinner all-you-can-eat is also available during lunch time. Miso soup is like what I had in Japan. Great experience. Very close to Avalon Mall. Will come back again :)
