912 Cole Harbour Rd, Dartmouth, NS B2V 2A8, Canada
Sushi 101 is a restaurant which simulates the feeling of dining in an authentic Japanese Restaurant. We have a beautiful Sakura Tree in the dining place, where you can relax and savour your delicious food while enjoying the wonders of the tree. Although our restaurant is newly opened, our head chef has been in the Sushi business for over 15 years, throughout which he has acquired tremendous skill, experience, and mastery of the art that is Sushi preparation. Dining at Sushi 101 is truly a once-in-a-lifetime culinary experience.
This place is actually very nice! Sushi was fresh. Highly recommend the butter fish sashimi!! Salmon and tuna sashimi were also very good and fresh. Nice green tea 🍵. Pretty decent value for what you get if you come for the lunch special. Ordered the lunch special for two. Service was mediocre, we ordered the beef tataki, but never got it so maybe the server didn’t hear 👂. Anyways this place is a good spot for sushi. Ended up paying about $47 including a tip for two of us. They also accommodate shellfish allergies which is nice. Follow me on instagram @winters.table
Here's what I ordered: Ramen was a 7/10 I liked it but chashu has burnt pieces. Sushi101 it was one of their special and its 10/10 GreenDragon roll 8/10 I liked it but not as much as the sushi101. Chicken Karaage 10/10 Taste, Pricing, Portion and Atmosphere is great! Will be coming for more.
Love it! Went with my daughter, who had a blast playing with a mini sushi set. They were very nice to both of us. Sushi was great, and the service was super fast. Had sushi in front of us within 15 minutes of ordering. Great spot
We LOVE sushi 101 & everyone that works there 🤍 We go there for every holiday and every reason we can find! The team are a phenomenal bunch who always go out of their way to make you feel welcome and special. The food is always wonderful and the prices can't be beat. If you're looking for a small & family owned business that has consistently great dishes and vibes every time, then you've found the perfect spot.
Lovely meal at Sushi 101, the service was super friendly and quick and the food was fresh and tasty! I had the lunch bento box special with chicken cutlet and the side of makis
Lovely owners! The food is delicious, and fresh! They have a beautiful Sakura tree and a super cute sushi boat. Extremely satisfied with this experience, and will definitely be coming back!
I went there for dinner after work. The food I got was delicious, I got the Tokyo Bento with Salmon. The server was so nice, too! The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere, it is so colorful and warm. The gyoza was good, too.
We love this restaurant and the staff. The food is always fresh and hot. They remember us and treat us like family. Nothing is too much trouble and they even got vanilla ice cream in for me lol. We love that you can order 4 pieces of sushi rather than a full 8 portion. That way you can taste it to see if you like it before getting the bigger portion. The sushi always tastes delicious and it’s definitely quality over quantity.
Excellent sushi, one of the best in all of dartmouth.
Lovely local sushi restaurant! Very nice looking inside with a friendly atmosphere. Sushi is great quality and everyone is always very kind. I only have good things to say about this place and could go on and on!
Best tempura and chicken teriyaki I have eaten in Halifax area.
Great little spot in Cole Harbour, of all places. Super friendly, great service and food. Reasonably priced, too. Highly recommended!
Ordered takeaway and it was excellent. The tonkotsu ramen was delicious, the sushi was fresh and well prepared. Recommended
Quality sushi, kind family. No notes.
It was a wonderful meal from a large selection of sushi, sashimi, maki and more. Miso and a salad to start, with mochi to end the meal. Friendly staff, quick service, and fantastic food, what more could I ask for!
Excellent experience on takeout. We treat ourselves to the takeout party trays every once in a while. Every time we are thrilled with the quality of the sushi. The quality of the fish is excellent and the size of the portions are huge.
Great and friendly staff. Food was excellent, prices were fair.
Such a great find! Service was very quick and friendly! The food was amazing! Definitely recommend the spicy miso soup, and the mini kamikaze rolls were life-changing! New go-to sushi spot! Vegetarian options: lots of yummy vegetarian maki options!
I would give them 6 stars if able! Fantastic service with amazing food. Highly recommend this place.
Love their food.Was in hospital for 4 months.Ordered from Suishi 101 5 times in 1 month Donald Barnes Food
Courteous and fast service. Reprieves are very good.
My go to Sushi place - the absolute best!
Just the nicest people ever. Amazing food, great staff! We eat here often and every time we do we love it
Best sushi in Dartmouth! So fresh and always nice staff. Won t go anywhere else for sushi
Went in there because of the cute plushies in the window and craved sushi, sushi101 didn t disappoint. Delicious and affordable food with very welcoming and kind staff.
Hands down best sushi shop in Dartmouth!!!
Tried Sushi 101 for the first time about two weeks ago and have had it at least six times since. Food and staff are THE BEST!
High quality sushi and very friendly service
Great food, prices and friendly staff.
The first is the wild wild west without bacon and it was so good the second one is together forever. Super clean great service and awesome prices.
First order from here was take out, picked up salmon, tuna, and California rolls; they were all well made and tasted great. The location was convenient, inside atmosphere was very nice. The host was very kind and quick with getting my order to me. I will be going back for sure.
Service was amazing! I wish we could have taken our waitress home with us she was so sweet. Our food was great and we even got a show! Will definitely be back!
The friendliest staff & excellent food!
So good, food is fresh, love it
Ive always had good experiences with Sushi 101. The staff are kind and patient and the food is always delicious.
Best sushi place in Nova Scotia. The fish was very fresh and flavourful. Highly recommend the tuna and the soft shell crab
My husband and I ordered the deluxe sushi combo and deluxe maki combo. Everything was so delicious and fresh. The staff here are wonderful and the restaurant is very clean and nice. The miso soup is best Ive ever had. Excited to go back.
Literally perfect
The food is always so good and the service is amazing!
Staff was extremely helpful and friendly.
Great Service plus great food that is reasonably priced Kid-friendliness: There are cute thing things around for kids to look at.
The service here is above and beyond. Kind funny and personable staff who remember us and welcome us back each time we visit.
Best sushi in Dartmouth and Halifax. The food is both high quality and sizeable portions, and the service couldnt better. While the takeout is great I must reccomend dine in as the atmosphere is incredible.
Great portion sizes (bigger than usual), good quality food, lots of options on the menu. Nice environment and extremely friendly staff.
This was a lovely lunch for just me. Attentive service, no rush. Just what I needed.
Incredibly boring sushi. The rice tasted absolutely flavorless. The nori tasted like it was only silver grade. The fish was fresh but of a low quality, having the slightly bland chewy flavour of slow frozen fish. Everything looked pretty but there was a distinct lack of quality.
Clean place Polite staff Tasty and delicious food
Both my husband and I love this place. The food is excellent and the staff are so friendly. An overall great experience. Looking forward to eating here many more times.
Sushi 101 consistently delivers delicious fresh food at an affordable price point. The service is always stellar and the atmosphere is inviting. Cant wait to go back.
Awesome
Food is delicious. Staff is very friendly. Great atmosphere and I will definitely be back.
Food packed on its side. The rolls were already falling apart on the container
Nice place for sushi dine in and take out. Lunch option.
Due to the corner pub being full we went to get sushi. Best choice. We had some Miso to start and then 2 rolls each. That was enough. Nice and quiet. Staff were superb. Since then we have expanded into the menu...still as good. Noodles bowls can be split to compliment some rolls and Miso. Vegetarian options: Available. Parking: No issues
The staff was so amazingly kind and the food was too notch. As good as anything in the HRM. Cant recommend enough Parking: No shortage of parking Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly as long as they enjoy Japanese food
Fantastic food. Fantastic service. Very fairly priced!
Great sushi! Cozy atmosphere. Friendly staff :-)
Our favourite sushi place in Nova Scotia.
My husband and I as well as our two little kiddos absolutely adore this place. They have a very cool restaurant with incredible food. Best customer service I have ever had too!!!
Honest review. I eat sushi nearly every week and this is the first time trying this place. They took quite a while 55 min and the order was messed up. I asked for a substitute and instead they added an extra roll and charged extra. Ordered 70 rolls and nearly every roll was extremely sloppy and hard to pick up. The flavour was fresh but very messy. Unfortunately doesn t compare to mizu or sushi jet
The food was good but the service is amazing. Also, very kid friendly!!
If I could give this more than five stars, I would!! The sushi is very fresh and so tasty, and the service was fantastic! Our server was the nicest server we have ever had. I would come back just to see her again. We went for lunch, ordered some appetizers and four rolls. Everything was absolutely delicious and well priced. We typically order take-out from here, and it is equally as good as dining in. This is our go to sushi place now. We are so glad that it is here!
Probably my favourite sushi spot in HRM. The menu has amazing variety and prices that don t make you do a triple take at your bill. Lobster bento box and the amazingly fresh sashimi are only outshined by the friendliness of the staff. The spot is intimate or cozy but honestly I d rather have my lunch or date there, than somewhere loud and crowded.
Although I dont eat sushi, their teriyaki and tempura dishes are delicious and service is always great!! Edit - have been many many times since, but tried some new dishes tonight. All so good... And excellent service!
Great sushi! We will definitely be back!
Went here for the first time. Was about an hour wait for food with a larger party, despite a reservation but the staff tried hard to compensate with free miso soup and free ice cream. Food was really good. Very affordable. Family friendly. Popular spot. They went above and beyond to accomodate a family member with allergies.
The food tastes very good, and the service is very friendly! I will continue to go often.
We have been coming here since they opened. The atmosphere is great, the food is outstanding and the service is beyond words. They are very approachable and treat you like family. Highly recommend! Dietary restrictions: My wife is celiac and they have gluten free options! Even gluten free soy sauce. Kid-friendliness: The owner is so good with kids
**Had to edit and lower star rating after rude reply from owner.** Second time ordering pick up from here and timeline of when it would be ready was far off once again. This time all that was ordered was a spicy misu soup. Was in a hurry so asked prior to the order how long it would be for misu soup (as could only order it if it would be ready when I arrive) - was told 5 mins. They actually did no prepare it and waited until I was there to start preparing it. It was actually over 25 mins from when I called and wait time was excessive when waiting in the restaurant.
Very friendly server, the food was very good. Portions a bit small for the price but everything is getting expensive and places need to cut back to make money.
Food is always fresh, and so good. It s our go to spot and thankful it s so close to home :) great customer service and very friendly employees.highly recommend.
Literally my go to place every time. The food? DELICIOUS the atmosphere? BEAUTIFUL but the service? You really can t beat it everyone is so welcoming and kind! So if you haven t tried Sushi 101 I 100% recommend
First time getting sushi from here. I ordered the philidelphia roll & salmon roll. Very good. The rice was cooked perfect...nice fluffy and soft. Delicious. Definatley will be back again.
Sushi 101 is my favorite Japanese restaurant in HRM to dine. They are a small local family business, the food is always super fresh, presentation is beautiful, their staff are always warm and welcoming, they put that extra love and attention into everything they serve, giving it that right at home feeling I keep going back for.
Great quality, lovely atmosphere. Thank you for a wonderful lunch.
The food is great, the ambience is perfect and the staff are attentive without being annoying. Oh and the price is so right
The sushi is super soft, fresh and just all around amazing! I couldn t recommend sushi 101 enough, if you re looking for amazing food at a decent price with friendly staff this is the place!
Fresh amazing food ,awesome customer service I ve been working nearby for 2 weeks already a repeat customer!
I ve been here once already, as soon as you walk in your greeted very kindly, they have a wide variety of delicious food. The music and the smell is so good, great atmosphere, and a beautiful cherry tree in the middle, I would recommend getting the ramen. WOULD RECOMMEND
Best sushi in the City! I tried them all!
Amazing!!!!!!
The best sushi restaurant in the HRM, hands-down! First class service, AMAZING food, a wonderful atmosphere and a wonderful culinary experience! - Andy/Nate
Excellent food good service. I would recommend this restraunt to anyone who likes sushi or would like to try it.
Was great service even with covid restrictions. Ready in 20 mins was great and quality was top notch. Prices were good too. A+
Incredibly delicious Sushi! Wow.
Nicely prepared and great service.
We tried sushi 101 for the first time and they did not disappoint. The fish was fresh and chilled and the pieces were thickly cut. We got take out, and they were late by 3 minutes for our pick up time. I was happy to wait as everything is packed as fresh as possible. They gave us a couple extra things to make up for being a few minutes late. Honestly cant complain at all. I would highly recommend trying sushi 101
Amazing food and customer service! I had ordered something for takeout and a small mistake was made (everyone is human) and they had written down the wrong item for my order. I called back and let them know and they were extremely apologetic and made me what I had ordered originally. I wish I could give more then 5 stars
Mountain roll were delicious
First time ordering from Sushi101, so I didnt go crazy with my choice. I got The Rockn Roll 8 piece, it was so good!! This is the first time having Sushi from an Actual Sushi place.. Im definitely going to order from them again!! Thank you
WHAT IS IN THE ROCK AND ROLL?!?!? It was supposed to be lobster.... apparently these guys forgot they were in Nova Scotia because it was either not fresh at all or not lobster. Overcooked rice. Temperture of food was warm when eaten within 20 minutes of scheduled pick up. Do not recommend this place.
Ive had two take out meals since theyve opened. The sushi was excellent. Friendly staff, Ive ordered ahead and the wake time was reasonable. Fish is fresh and tasty.
We ordered here tonight, and everything was excellent. The portions were just right, the food was flavourful, and the packaging was cute (the sushi trays have a cute sakura pattern). We will be back.
The food was delicious! We had quite a large order for takeout and everything was really tasty. I definitely recommend ordering here.
Wonderful family owned sushi right in our neighbourhood. Great quality sushi! Being able to order 4pc rolls instead of the full roll, is a game changer. We got to try several rolls. It was wonderful. We will be back!
The manager/owner needs to hire more staff because we watched order after order go out the door. They were so busy with SkipTheDishes orders we had to wait for about an hour my waiter was very nice!!! and I felt bad for the whole team as you could see that they were trying their best! I think the quality of the sushi was compromised as well because they had to rush our order. They did give us a free miso soup as a sorry that they were taking so long.
Food was amazing and the waiter was so nice to us and made us feel like home even though were in an restaurant. My favorite roll was their house roll with scallop. Excellent restaurant 10/10 would recommend.
Love the food and the people serving us. Authentic Japanese cuisine at excellent price! We ll definitely go back regularly.
Very welcoming service with beautiful decorations! Could tell the sushi was made with fresh ingredients and the food tasted fantastic! 10/10 would come again!
Really Clean, Quick Service, Friendly Staff members
Exquisite food. Art and edible at the same time. Very friendly people. A1
Excited that a sushi restaurant is now in cole harbour. My friend and i each ordered a bento for lunch and was not dissapointed, Ive ate at many sushi restaurants before and sushi 101 will be my go to. The decor was very cute in a way that makes you want to dine in and the staff were friendly and inviting. The menu was also quite big and there was even a double sided lunch menu
The taste was great
Wonderful service and excellent quality food, my favorite sushi was there Ocean 7 roll.
Poor customer service and nothing new or different on the menu compared to other sushi restaurants. It was very disorganized, and chaotic for a place that was not that busy when I came in. Would love to see some specialty rolls, and some you cannot get at every other sushi restaurant.
Our waiter was so polite and friendly and we had a wonderful time delicious sushi and a welcoming atmosphere, can t wait to go again!
I have eating here a few times now, both inside and take out. The food is great, the price is great, and the service is great. All-around a great place to eat.
Delicious food and great service!!
The service is incredible and its the best sushi in HRM
Best veggie sushi I ve had. Highly recommend
Familiar menu, high-quality. Will go back, will recommend.
Had takeout and ate here and have only good things to say. Food is great and the staff are wonderful! Nice little spot and it s definitely our new sushi go to.
Really quick, delicious and the décor was beautiful. Got the sweet potato maki, the shrimp and the tuna nigiri. Definitely recommend!
Food was delicious and service was great. I will be back :)
Very good quality and friendly service
I love this place! They are so welcoming and friendly and the food is fresh and delicious! Im looking forward to going back!
Excellent Sushi. Wonderfully friendly staff. loved everything I ordered. 10/10. Have my new favorite sushi place
A former chef of Sushi Nami Dartmouth runs this restaurant and I am happy to say, it blows NAMI out of the water. He and his wife are super nice and bring Nami back to what it used to be. Portion sizes are nicer, have a deeper nicer flavor and the menu is familiar. It is our new go to lunch spot. Keep up the fantastic job. See you next week.
The portions are perfectly sized, the fish is fresh, the sushi is delicious, and the owners are so kind. This my first choice out of all of Halifax for sushi. Ill cross the bridge for it!
Better tasting and slightly cheaper than most sushi places in Halifax. Since opening they re starting to work out the kinks of their slower service when they first opened. A few months in I m happy to have this place as my new regular sushi go-to.
It wasnt my favorite sushi restaurant on the planet. The beef appetizer I got tasted like someone dumped an entire bottle of Mrs. Dash on it and the sushi itself tasted kinda bland, nothing really exciting. The owners kid was also sitting in a booth a few tables away, screaming at a video game he was playing during most of the time I was there which made it not very pleasant. The owner herself was super nice though and it was pretty fast service. I know they are fairly new and hopefully theyll find their groove.
It took us too long to try this great restaurant. We intended on having sushi but noticed they had chashu ramen. It was amazing. Be patient. They make everything fresh and it is worth the wait. And everyone was so friendly. We will be back. Next time for dinner to try other menu items.
Great quality food and friendly service.
Was really happy with my take-out. Great quality
Looked like a nice place, wonderful selection of sushi, etc. But after a few, I thought Id give birth to Chewbacca.
The service was absolutely wonderful, they even gifted us with free miso soup which was the best soup I ve ever had. The food was amazing, very fresh and presented beautifully. We will definitely be back. Thank you Sushi 101.
The food is good and so is the service. The employees are always friendly to me.
Honestly a bit disappointed. Ive been there twice now and although its not that the place is bad - its just not fantastic. Sweet potato rolls are absolutely amazing - the tempura was still crisp in the roll. First beef teriyaki roll I had there was great, the second was not. Two of the pieces didnt really have anything in them and were falling apart. Had the problem of a couple of the other rolls falling apart too - they just werent rolled very well. Miso soup was smaller than I expected but tasted good. Ill definitely give this place another try and hope that I just caught them on an off night. I just find I can get sushi in Dartmouth that tastes better and is less expensive.
The service here is attentive, genuine and warm hearted. After only a couple of visits they remembered our order. The quality of the sushi is fantastic and unmatched anywhere in metro!
This is a nice old restaurant which have opened about 20 years. The lady boss here is frank. I like the ramen here they served.
Tried a couple times and never disappointed. Good food, super friendly service. Thank you
Always the best sushi and service
Delicious ramen with a fair price, kind service as well.
First time trying sushi 101,Excellent sushi and the staff were amazing
lego displays, extremely friendly staff. fantastic food.
Excellent service, tasty fresh food. I will go back again.
How good is sushi 101? Well I have been three times since they opened. They are new and just getting their timing down so please be patient when you go. The first time we had sushi and my friend had their bento box. The sushi was very fresh and their tempura is delicious! (Best weve had in NS) The 2nd time I tried their ramen. The meat is amazing! 3rd time was for more sushi! This time we asked for a side dish of spicy mayo since I enjoy more sauce on my sushi and found it lacking the first time.
Surprisingly good sushi. Salmon was nice and fatty (contrary to NA opinion this is a good thing) tuna exceptionally fresh, and the presentation of the agadashi tofu very good. Highly recommend unlike most sushi restaurants in Dartmouth.
Very good, courteous service the restaurant is run by chinois the slices r à bit big but its good Parking: Tons of parking
Food was amazing, service was a little slow but they just opened 3 days ago so it was no big deal, the staff is very kind and they gave us free miso soup and salad for an appetizer! Definitely recommend
Long wait but to be expected since they opened 3 days ago. Was given free appetizers for the wait and 10% off of meal. Atmosphere was amazing, beautiful restaurant and super friendly staff. Food was delicious, very fresh and had many unique options to choose from. Definitely one of the better sushi places around. Highly recommend checking it out!
Best Sushi place around, beautiful dining place, and the staff was absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend.
food was great, service was very friendly, and the decor was beautiful. would definitely go again!
Wanted to give it a try, so purchased a couple of Maki rolls. They were excellent. Very happy to have a good Sushi in the heart of Cole Harbour!
Finally, a sushi restaurant in Cole Harbour with excellent quality! The wife and I ate here tonight to try the sushi and we were very pleased with the quality of food. Everything we ordered was delicious... we will certainly be back for more.
The best sushi in this end of Dartmouth by a long shot. Rivals most of the other spots in the city. High quality, tasty and great service.
Enjoyed several items off the menu this evening. Everything was delicious. The staff was so very friendly and accommodating I will certainly be back . They have my support.
I just got some take out and it was delicious !!! Highly highly recommend.
Fantastic spot! Waiter was fantastic, kind and patient despite being quite busy. Service was incredible (a little slow but free appetizer for the wait) beautifully plated and atmosphere is great. Food was really good, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit! Affordable too for what youre getting compared to other spots like it (and food tastes much fresher and tastier :P). Keep up the great work!
I never write reviews but it was so good, i had to!! It was definitely a bit of a wait (for take out) but we were given notice and it was totally worth it!!! Definitely a welcome addition to Cole Harbour!
For tonights dinner we ordered the Sushi boat and it was great! The service was super friendly, the quality of the fish was just a notch above excellent and definitely has some of the best in Halifax. Like some other reviews we were told that things may be a little slow. We were happily surprised when a salad and miso soup arrived to fill up the wait. The soup was a very nice addition to a cold wet day. We look forward to our next meal here
My first time here, and it was a a worthwhile experience. Had the bento box and it was excellent. The restaurant is small, and the food takes time, but is worth it. The staff are great. Will be back. Just hope it survives the latest round of Covid.
Fantastic!!!! Great sushi and absolutely fantastic service! Will come back again and again!!!
Had dinner with my family last night. The food was spectacular, as was the service.
Excellent experience! Deliciously fresh Sushi and great service! Cant wait to go again!
