When this restaurant opened at the end of Summer in 2023 we jumped at the chance to try it. We have been so very pleased every time we have gone since then, weekly sometimes, at least twice a month. How could we NOT go? How could you NOT bring friends?! It is heaven with every bite! How wonderful is it to share this deliciously prepared food served with such courtesy and smiling faces! Yukihana translated from Japanese means Snow Flower…a perfect name for a Canadian Sushi restaurant!
Just watching Chef Ryan preparing the rolls and sushi/sashimi plates is a wonder of precision and talent! His wife Chef Julie as well! When she brings you a plate of Bang Bang Chicken or Crispy Shrimp Tempura you know you are getting the best! Their staff and family, son John, have been so kind and helpful, Rebecca and Megan are such good front of the store ambassadors! They are more than waitresses!
We get cranky with mediocre food, but never here! Every dish has been outstanding, every roll, every bit of sushi, sashimi or seared scallop. It truly is one of our very favourite place to go sit and eat. We never thought we would be so lucky to have this so close to home. Every dish is an explosion of flavour, it reflects the care and passion, as well as the dedication that goes into crafting food like this! The artistry of each piece shines through! Thank you Chefs!
Every time we go our goal is to try something new, today it was the Futo Maki roll, three types of sashimi with avocado, cucumber and pickled radish…it was delicious! The Yukihana, Crispy Crunch Dragon and Aburi Scallop Dragon rolls are some of our favourites.
The hardest part is getting a picture before someone dives in and starts to eat! Ha!
The appetizers are wonderful. The tempura is light and crunchy. The shrimp is always ordered. The vegetables are seasonal, what a wonderful surprise the asparagus tempura was…so exquisite! The Spicy Kara-age chicken will make you wish you ordered two servings! The Sunomono salmon salad with the salmon lightly torched with avocado, in wasabi/mayo dressing over shredded radish is another favourite! The Miso soup is a delight as well! The sashimi, tuna, eel!…sigh….We will eventually try everything!
It might be Korean, it might be part Japanese. All we know is that it is delicious! We’ve had the opportunity to eat at everything from taco stands to fine dining establishments across Canada, the US, Mexico and Europe and we know what we are getting here is first class fare! I may have been born in Canada but I was lucky to be raised all over the world as a child and teenager and I know we are SO lucky to have this restaurant here! Thank you Chefs Julie and Ryan and all your family and staff for providing us with such a wonderful assortment of delicious foods for the last two years! We are so grateful you are here in Smiths Falls! 매우 감사합니다!
Did I mention the home made tiramisu, the amazing teas and selection of sakes as well? 🙂 Go and try this wonderful food! You won’t be disappointed! Saludos amigos! Eat well!
