SaWa's Donburi

New review: It devastates me to have to retract most of my review… All of our favourite rolls went up heavily in price. The California Rolls alone went up by $4.50. Since this is upsetting and we’re no longer going to eat here anyways, I can say the staff lacks personality. No smiles, not very welcoming, the sushi is still good (at least I hope…), but absolutely not worth the price anymore. Original review: Our favourite sushi place by far! Perfect size rolls, great taste, great price for good ingredients. I love that they use real crab, and you can see them making the sushi at register area!

Great price! Delicious food! Great staff! Nicely decorated too. We had the mango sushi roll, one of the noodle dishes and the unagi rice bowl. It was filling!

We had a late lunch around 2pm here on a Saturday after fishing near Hagg lake. We had a party of 9 and had a party room available that could fit us all together at one table. We appreciated being able to be seated together. They do charge a tip/service charge of 18% to use the room. We tried the chicken teriyaki don, katsu don, beef don, and salmon teriyaki don,oyakodon, as well as a salmon avocado roll. Everything was presented nicely and tasty. The dons included a small dish of soy based green beans. The one drawback was the kitchen was a little on the slow side, perhaps due to the time (2pm) we were being served.

We have been wanting to come here for a while and decided to give it a shot. The food was pretty good, and the service was decent. We felt the Donburri was a little disproportionate, there was a lot of rice and not so much of the protein. However, we were very pleased by how tasty everything was. It took a little while for the food to come to the table, but not so long that we felt forgotten about. It was a bit expensive considering it wasn’t significantly different than most sushi restaurants. All in all it was a good experience, and we’ll definitely be back.

We came here for sushi during the 4A basketball tournament in 2023. The restaurant is quiet and nicely decorated. The sushi was fresh and had good presentation. I appreciated the edamame as a complimentary appetizer.
