I arrived alone with no reservation on a Monday night. Was seated promptly by the friendly hostess although they were jumping busy. Lively boisterous atmosphere with table seating, patio, bar or sushi bar. James Bond projected on the wall, music turned up and the staff merrily shouting orders and welcomes....Soft soft soft tuna belly...so good I wanted to order more...Assorted sashimi of salmon, tuna and scallop was beautifully presented. Chilled ramen noodle salad with lettuces and a delicious house dressing. Perfect for the hot humid weather. I spied on the dishes being rushed out past me and it ALL looked fantastic. Everyone looked so happy. No wonder it's busy. GO! PS the bartender put down everything he was doing just to run through the busy restaurant, open the door for me, say thank you and good night. That kind of personal attention is super appreciated by us solo diners. Thank you, will be back!!!

Suika has a solid regular menu, seasonal specials that keep things fresh, and drinks that are as beautifully crafted as the food. Every dish is a masterpiece, but a few plates really stole the show. Aburi Salmon Pressed Sushi: This dish is a flavour explosion! Fresh, silky salmon paired with perfectly seasoned rice it's like sushi heaven in every bite. Tokyo Oxtail Ramen: Rich, savoury broth infused with slow cooked oxtail, topped with tender noodles and fresh ingredients for an authentic Tokyo ramen experience. Fantastic dish! Tenderloin Sizzling Steak: The steak arrives with a sizzling hot stone aside, ready to cook to your perfect level of doneness right at your table. Juicy, tender, and bursting with flavour, it's a steak lover's dream come true. It's a must order! Overall, Suika has earned a permanent spot in our hearts (and our stomachs). We highly recommend it it's no wonder we're loyal customers! Food: Should Try! Service: ‍‍‍‍ Kids: Yay! Price: $100 $150 each person (dinner birthday celebration) Presentation: Parking: metered parking on the street Tips: Make a reservation they're always packed. Plan your time if you want dessert; there's a 2 hour seating limit. Have an extensive cocktail menu with plenty of options.
