   My waiter helped me select some specialty dishes and sake. He was very attentive when I asked for things that they are famous at but that the other Japanese restaurants don’t all have. Glad to have returned to nippon

   The restaurant is quite beautiful and the service was quite nice :) Food was very delicious. We had visited the restaurant explicitly to try Fugu and we were not disappointed. The portions were good but it was a bit on a pricey side.

   The Godzilla Curry was lukewarm. Tasted like it was made earlier and left to sit in the pot. The broth for the Udon was a bit salty, but the noodles were fresh and delicious. The salad was quite good.

   Always a pleasure to dine at Nippon. The staff is so friendly. They know what table you want, and what you like to eat and drink. It is fun to host a group in a tatami room for a get-together: family, friends, birthdays. We have been going there for years.

    Sitting in my out-of-the-way corner of this quiet, traditional Japanese restaurant, I might as well have been dining in a small spot in a local Tokyo neighborhood. Cosseted by the attention of the long-term staff who knows me well, I had a simple, genuine Japanese lunch-a bowl of soba noodles made from wheat from the restaurant’s Canadian farm, a spot of tempura and a constantly refilled cup of green tea. What more can one ask for? I’ve only been coming here since 1972. It’s my go to spot, and it won’t be long until I’m sitting there again .
    

    Restaurant NipponResponded on 9 October 2024

    Hi Ricardo, Thank you very much for your fantastic review. We’re delighted to hear that our little corner of the restaurant reminds you of Tokyo. Your longstanding loyalty since 1972 is truly cherished, and it’s an honor to serve you each time you visit. We take great pride in our ingredients, and it brings us joy to know you appreciate our artisan soba noodle. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another delightful meal and more cups of green tea. Warm regards,
