Amakara Japan

Very small place to dine. Food was okay, it wasn't served althogether. My green tea tasted like water. Not really sold out of the food & ambiance of the place.

Sushi was off the charts, atmosphere is a cute small house setting with really nice art and a nice home vibe. Food was all fresh and the server was friendly and efficient. Will definetely an amazing experience that we are looking forward to trying again!

I went for dinner and they gave us the worst seat which is right under the stairs. When one person was walking upstairs, we could literally feel the stairs shaking. We ordered a triple roll, salmon avo roll, spicy crispy roll, and steak don. The picture I attached is a spicy crispy roll and it’s just big avocados, I couldn’t even taste anything else than avocado. It was awful. Also, we stayed an hour and a half but the steak don still didn’t come out while another table who came later than us got their whole sushi boat. How does steak don which is just a rice bowl with steaks on top take longer than a whole sushi boat? We couldn’t wait longer for a steak don to come out so we just left starving. The server was an old lady and she was very disrespectful. She didn’t say a single apology. We have been to this restaurant so many times and now we decided that we won’t come back here. Very disappointed.

I have had takeout about 10 times here. This time I decided to eat in. Very cute little place with enough room to sit about 30 people. The food and service is always good. I do wish they had a few more vegan options but there's enough to enjoy. You do have to explore the menu to find what is vegan and I usually order sushi with mushrooms, sweet potato or avocado. The miso soup is good. Parking is limited on-site with only about three spots, but the restaurant is within walking distance of downtown St. Catharines where ample parking is available.

First time visiting and fell in love with this place! The quality of sushi was amazing. Big portion, very fresh. Also, I loved Hannah, the server working there. She is so funny and nice!! Such a welcoming place. Will def return when I'm in this area. :)

First time at Amakara, stopped for takeout to bring at my hotel nearby. Restaurant was full, very nice ambiance. Staff were very kind and proactive even tough they were clearly in a rush. Waited a fair 20 minutes since some maki were deep fried. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented and very tasteful. Will go back when in the area.

Amakara Japan is probably the best sushi restaurant I've been to in a long time. The location is really small and cozy. I ordered the rainbow roll and it was presented really well. It was super tasty. I also loved the mochi ice cream. The staff was really friendly too. I'm definitely coming back!
