Hikari Sushi Train
Japanese restaurant
😠 I will never go back. $15.90 for 6 of the thinnest, worst pieces of sushi. The rice was hard like the sushi had been refrigerated. Everything about this placed screamed we don’t care about you, we just want to take as much out of your pocket as we can. It’s not fuel that’s creating the cost of livin...

Sushi Chew Chew Train
Japanese restaurant
👍 Came here for the first time mid week lunch. Nice to see a sushi train in hamilton. Loved the food, was very fresh, still warm for some of the dishes and great choice of dishes. Can get a little carried away though and eat too much, and it is more expensive than other places but worth the extra cost...

👍👍 I always try to stop by for sushi when I’m in the shore! It’s always been quite busy, long line out the door usually. I really like that everything is easily bite-able, it doesn’t seem to fall apart as much as other sushi places for me. Price range is slightly on the higher side depending on what s...

😐 I recently dined at this Japanese restaurant, and the beef bowl and fried chicken were absolutely delicious. However, I must mention that the service experience varied significantly. Unfortunately, the female staff exhibited impatience and poor attitude towards us, which left us puzzled and somewhat...
