6403 Quinpool Rd, Halifax, NS B3L 1B6, Canada
Modest restaurant serving Japanese classics, from sushi & teriyaki to tempura & noodles.
This place is definitely one of the better sushi restaurants in Halifax. The restaurant is a bit smaller so the atmosphere is more intimate. Staff are very attentive and service is fast. They have a great menu, I've gone twice for Happy Hour, and I am always satisfied with the quality of the food. It's also very reasonably priced, so if you're having a craving, get your sushi at Wasabi House on Quinpoool
We were looking for a sushi restaurant and this showed up…well we are SO glad we went! The sushi was amazingly fresh and presented beautifully! The service was also fantastic, our waitress made some great recommendations. We were given some rolls to try that we didn’t order. Honestly, we wish we had found this gem on the first day of our trip, and not our last.
A hidden gem. The food was fresh and big portion. We were pleasantly surprised with the chef’s complementary salmon belly and rolls. Will definitely be back!
Pretty generous portion of the food here. The foods were also tasted good and the price was reasonable and affordable! Recommended. Will definitely come back.
Wasabi House in Halifax is the ultimate spot for sushi lovers! The quality of the fish is top-notch, and the variety of rolls is impressive.

Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious, fresh sushi in Halifax! Checkout their HAPPY HOUR AFTER 9 PM DAILY
Wasabi house is an institution + a workhorse of a sushi place. The space is 1//3 for pickup and take away with 2 tables set up in the front for that exclusively and tables further back where you can sit. My gripe, is that they do things a little differently. There's too much rice + it's warm. When you get a sushi: rice with fish on top, the rice is the size of 2-3 sushis and the fish is thickly sliced and barely stays on when you go to pick it up. In my mind a sushi should be a mouthful, carefully balanced so you're not getting too much of any one ingredient, not something you need to carefully bite so you don't pull it apart on your next bite. Like my sushi has a thick piece of sashimi on it with another thinner slice underneath. . . On the OTHER hand, it's made quickly, they do a high volume of orders and they always include freebies. Last time I went I was given extra cucumber and avocado rolls. They super sized my meal to two meals, on the house. Worth going to, would recommend. But it's really it's whole own thing. Be forewarned :)
I wanted to try a different place to eat sushi and this place didn’t disappoint. The food was delicious, the staff were really nice and they gave us complementary rolls with our order! I will definitely come back to order another time 10/10
We had an incredible time at the Wasabi House today when we decided to stop by for dinner! The staff is warm and friendly, the decor is cozy and the food is incredible! And the portions are great too, making it a great place for groups to head out to! Our server Mac was extremely pleasant, took care to make sure we had enough space for all the food we ordered and was very friendly!! We also got some complimentary sushi which was a wonderful surprise and we were in a food coma by the time we were done and definitely had leftovers to take back home! The prices are quite reasonable as well, especially if you visit during their happy hours! I would recommend everyone to visit this place if they love Japanese food! Can’t wait to visit again 😍
Go too for sushi in Halifax.
Nice food, good service, some times house dishes offered
Huge portions with the party platter.. some of the rolls sort of fell apart but the extra free rolls they have is more than made up for it.. they gave us a ton of soy, ginger and wasabi and on top of that it was super super quick service Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair friendly
So so so many rolls We got the mixed platter and it was ready fast with friendly service. Rice is a bit thick on the rolls but tasty! Food
This is our go-to date night food. The sushi is delicious and you cant beat the prices. Its also the most filling sushi you can get for the price because they always throw in an extra roll or two on the house. You also get 10% off for paying in cash! All in - the price is unbeatable and the sushi wont disappoint. Be sure to try the salmon toro nigiri torched.
A group of us (5) visiting from out West stopped in to eat some fresh sushi. We had the dinner for 4 which was a HUGE amount of food for $85. The fish kept coming with several complimentary items. The freshness, textures and flavours were all excellent. We are so grateful for the maritime hospitality that was shown to our group. I encourage all persons who enjoy Japanese cuisine to try this establishment.
Easily the most enjoyable sushi dinner weve ever had! The food is delicious, well priced, and already in large quantities - but the piece de resistance is that they surprise every guest with a LOT of sushi on the house. So if you sit here for a while, you get to see customer after customer shocked by a whole additional meal brought to them on the house, along with the slowly dawning realization that they will either be filling up with sushi up to their throat or eating raw fish for the next few days! Truly its like having dinner on the set of a prank show - a one of a kind experience. Could not recommend more!
Called in for pick up as it was close to our place. We were greeted by a very friendly staff member, but also the sushi chefs acknowledged us as well which was warming. They ended up giving us extra rolls and items as they were about to close. All the food is fresh and tastes amazing. Great price as well. Highly recommend
Amazing atmosphere, beyond kind, respectful and outgoing customer service with everyone welcoming us and also saying goodbye when leaving. They generously gave so much extra to us, from rolls to salads and other things, they didn t hold back on making sure we got the right experience for our first time. Me and my buddy haven t been able to shut up about how great everything here is and we recommended anyone looking for amazing sushi made & served by some of the best people alongside great customer service, GO HERE!!! Thanks again Wasabi House.
Good price and they give you more food like a courtesy of the house
Friendly, good food, excellent value
We got lunch options, the box and samplers, great value for money, gave us extra on the house, generous, clean and good taste (bento box is a nice option) Wheelchair accessibility: Not possible
Busy Sushi restaurant with amazing sushi, and menu. Cant wait to go back, for eat in or take out. A great place for exceptional food. Not wheelchair accessible.
I love this place. I have celiacs disease and have never had an issue eating there. They always add an extra little treat and theyre always very friendly! Nothing bad to say, such a great meal for the price! Dietary restrictions: Celiac safe (in my experience)
The rolls that we had were awesome! They also brought us some complimentary rolls as well. The service was great! Our server, Vincent was attentive and took great care of us! Will be returning!
Best place for sushi in Halifax. Best bang for your buck during the Happy Hour! The staff was also kind enough to have 3 additional rolls on the house! This made our travel experience to Halifax really pleasant. Parking: You may park along the street.
very good
Everything is good! delicious
Nice. the happy hour start at 9:pm to 10pm. They close earlier than they used to, but they always give extra sushi.
My go to sushi place in Halifax! Good range of options for vegetarians
I love the sushi here, and the staff are consistently friendly and usually efficient. The bathrooms feel like they havent changed or been deep cleaned in far too long - its the only thing about wasabi house I wouldnt recommend. The happy hour specials are pretty great and I always receive more than I expect. IYKYK Wheelchair accessibility: There are a handful of steps to get in and the bathrooms are small and difficult to maneuver around in.
was locked out of my car so I was in poor spirits when I went to kill some time while waiting for a locksmith by sitting to have some sake and sushi. waiter was so friendly and they gave me a bunch of sushi on the house. i only stayed for a short while but they made my night so much better and made me feel special. it is truly appreciated and I ll be back when I m back in Halifax with a bigger tip than I could afford tonight.
Had a lovely time! Everyone working was so kind, generous and attentive. Such yummy food!! I can t think of anything negative to say. I highly recommend you go here!
Weird vibe from the server last visit, good food though
Lovely server and also on the house salmon dishes. Definitely recommend!
Loved the scallops and sushi. Doesnt cost a fortune to eat well. Theyre very generous. A go to place if youre in the area.
They are a treasure find in the sea delicious sushi fresh and wonderful staff the chef is generous and very Kind .Long life to this litlle spécial place
Deliciousness . Hit the spot! Thank you
great food and service, sure will be back! I love this salmon Toro, this is the best roll! Food : 5/5
Came back here to try again after a take out during lockdown era, ended up bringing everyone I know
Such a great restaurant! The food was fantastic and they also gave us a couple extra rolls. So good!
Super quick service, yummy tasteful rolls. Fairly priced. Mack was our server and they were grant
They stopped dine-in since the pandemic started, heard they resumed dine-in recently and decided to go for lunch. The sushi tastes the same as before, the food is fresh and the service is as good as ever. The two of us ordered three rolls and tempura shrimp. The boss gave us a large plate of sushi for free. In the end, we paid less than $35 and took a large box home. I will be back again.
They gave extra complimentary sushi, tons of food for the price
Came here based on a recommendation in a YouTube vloggers video. We werent disappointed, one of the best sushi places Ive personally been to. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Vegetarian options: They have wonderful vegetarian options as well
Portions were big, the roll with salmon was nice. Dietary restrictions: Sushi Food : 4/5 |
Wonderful place. Favourite sushi in Halifax. Tasty, great service and love the complimentary sushi they sometimes offer. Thank you!
Best place in the city
The food is great! And so are prices. Thank you.
Oh my god. How did I JUST discovered this place ?! I went a little over board and kept eating/taking out from here during my last few days in the city. I will definitely return 100% every time I m back. What a gem !
Amazing sushi place in Halifax
This was our first time trying this restaurant. Everything was delicious. Great food, great service, friendly staff, and the complimentary sushi rolls were a very nice and pleasant surprise! Its definitely worth a try if you have never been to this restaurant.
great place to enjoy sushi
Always a great experience here. Food is quality and always tasty. Orders are quick to arrive, and the atmosphere and service are always satisfactory. Highly recommend.
Visiting from out of town and am thoroughly impressed by the staff and quality of food/service provided! You can tell this is a popular place because even late at 9pm there was a line and chefs busy preparing fresh rolls. I enjoyed their happy hour sushi roll combos and 10% off cash discount, the line went very fast and the wait for food also fast. Was very happy to see a few extra rolls in my order too! Overall excellent experience. Thank you to the wait staff & chefs for a wonderful meal! Vegetarian options: Good selection of vegetable sushi and appetizer options.
Freshly made sushi. Very nice experience.
Priced well, extra items included but not great quality and we received well messy looking rolls. May give another chance one day.
The food and the service never changes. They always give you extra goodies than what you order. Its my favorite sushi place.
The sushi was actually pretty good, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere, although a bit cramped, comfortable. Would return.
Great sushi, great variety, generous portions and wonderful service. A true gem.
Excellent food, quick service, and friendly staff. This is a place you know as a staple for good food, you dont go for the atmosphere. I will forever recommend this place, some of the best Maki in Halifax. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and vegan roll options.
My favourite sushi place for years! Delicious and fresh every time. Came here straight from the airport Ordered a Boston roll, Avocado maki, Spicy tuna and spicy crab maki
Best sushi for the money! Go here today!
I used to go to Wassabi house a long time ago Picked up an order today. Sushi was mid. There was no chopsticks soy sauce or anything inside the bag You would think for giving extra sushi you would at least throw a pair of chopsticks in there,,, You can tell the business is going down I went inside and there was barely any table set up.. Smell inside this is disappointing. Will never return. Will share my experience to all workers at the airport.
Best sushi place in town
Great place with generous portion sizes. Love their happy hour sushi specials.
My recent experiences at Wasabi House have left me disappointed. On my last two visits, I noticed a decline in the quality of their sushi. The sushi tasted off, forcing me to discard it upon arriving home. Todays order was particularly disappointing; some pieces were deep-fried but poorly constructed, resembling mere nubs of sushi. Furthermore, the tuna sashimi was slimy and tough to chew in the spicy tuna rolls. As someone who has always enjoyed grabbing sushi from Wasabi House with friends, I am now hesitant to return due to concerns about food quality and potential food poisoning. Its disheartening to think that they may not be monitoring the freshness and quality of their fish. I hope they take steps to address these issues as Ive previously been a loyal customer.
They gave us someone else s food. The person s serving me seemed like they did not want to be there. But the food was really good. Like what I remember years ago. Other staff were friendly.
Best sushi spot in the city
Awesome food and atmosphere, great place to visit. Amazing value for the money, a must try for sure. Big thanks to the staff!
This is my favorite Sushi Restaurant in Halifax. Delicious food. They always serve samples with you order, complimentary. Vegetarian options: Maki, veggie rolls, vegetable tempura.
best sushi place to go to! everyone is so nice here! food taste amazing
Happy hours are a good option for sushi, and the taste was good. Especially the thing I liked was the bonus rolls for free. But the menu for happy hours has not a lot of options.
Food was excellent, service was excellent
A great place for when you want a lot of sushi but not looking for the best quality or presentation. The free rolls they give you with every order makes you feel like you ve won the lottery. The prices are very reasonable.
The sushi is good and the portions are large:) we love you, Wasabi House!
Incredible. Always (Vegetarian).
I dont understand how this place has any good reviews. Worst food Ive ever had. Literally nothing we ordered tasted good. The restaurant was also very dirty. Sticky floors and dust everywhere. They gave us extra maki rolls and I wish they hadnt... That salmon shouldnt have left the kitchen.
First time here , loved it ! Great sushi and awesome prices !
Delicious fresh seafood! Was impressed with how well prepared everything was and how accommodating the staff was! We had plenty to eat and were even surprised with an extra roll on the house! Well done and will definitely be back. . We left with a little to go box of fresh salmon nigiri and salmon roll! Worth the visit! Dietary restrictions: Staff were accommodating with gluten free options!
Food was tasty, service friendly and accommodating (helped us figure out how to seat 5 people at a 4 person table) and they offered us random extra dishes on top of what we ordered.
Good food and prices. I would rather take food to go then eat inside because inside is very tight.
Great experience. Food was fresh and delicious, restaurant was very clean and the service was outstanding. Excellent pricing too. Will be back.
Such good sushi! My favourite in Halifax for sure On top of that, the staff is lovely and the deals are unbeatable. We just picked up a lot of sushi for a party, but we also eat in whenever we get the chance. Vegetarian options: There are lots of veggieootikns.
Always such a great time, been going here since I was a kid and they still give out free rolls, have good pricing, and great food. An essential part of halifax.
The service was fantastic and the sushi was delicious. We have food allergies and they were very good about making sure we could eat the sushi. the chef made us extra on the house. It was a great experience.
The fish here is never fresh. If youre going to go, choose all vegetarian options and youll be perfectly happy. They always bring at least one sushi roll you didnt order as a free bonus. The rallying cry seems to be let no-one leave hungry but feel free to risk their lives with fish thats on the turn. Having said that, theyre exceedingly popular. Im guessing most people dont know what fresh fish tastes like but maybe Im just over-sensitive
Great food, great customer service. And even got lots free sushi. I will be back.
What a great little place with really fantastic food. It was our first time there and it will definitely not be our last. We also had a fantastic waitress who gave us some tips on what we might like to order next time. Wonderful dining experience.....
Very nice place and great value. I guess my only complaint would be that it s very small so dinner time can be a wait. Fortunately the food is worth the wait!
The best variety of sushi and all delicious! Order the chefs specials and you get a free sushi roll, so double your order. Love this place!
best sushi experience in halifax hands down! i ll be back for sure. the complimentary crab and sweet potato roll and mango roll were delicious. i d never tried a mango roll and it was tasty! the sweet potato tempura avocado roll is a favourite of mine and they made it well. the service was very quick and they had good sake. the environment was perfect, not too loud and the space didn t feel too big or small. next time i m gonna make sure to try some chef specials and branch out a bit more. our waitress cathy was incredibly nice and she made our night :)
What does excellent customer service mean? This answer the Wasabi House sure knows. The food was wonderful, the waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive and the cooks were happy to receive customers. It sure makes all the difference.
Fast and friendly service, great value for quality sushi. Definitely recommend for dine-in or takeout. They often throw in an extra roll or two with your order!
They have happy hour!.. always tasty
Order to go always gets you a few extra rolls. Pay cash, get 10% off Food is great Food
Sushi is really good, service is fast and generous (they always include extra rolls in our orders!). I recommend the sweet potato tempura roll! The only tradeoff is that sushi is sometimes prepared in a rush and the end rolls arent always perfect. Edamame is a little tough, gyoza is underwhelming.
Awesome food and generous portions
Used to be my favourite sushi place, however the pandemic evidently took its toll and its not the same quality or quantity wise.
Great sushi! They have a huge menu and lots of vegetarian options. It was very fast and the service was great. Will definitely be back!
Very good price and they always give free roll on take out. I love their sushi and I agent it almost every Sunday on Sackville location.
A small location but easily the best sushi in the city.
Always great service, food is fantastic and its great value! Our go to place for sushi!
We were in the area and looking at dine in options. I found this restaurant and was sold by reviews immediately. I knew I had to try it. Not sure how you can spend there $10-20 per person. You eithereat like a bird or dont like rolls. We ordered bento box, udon, couple rolls and ice-cream with bananas. I wouldnt call it a lot of food per person, our bill was a little over $60 per 2 people. The food was very fresh and delicious! Complementary rolls were also VERY good. I wouldnt think of ordering them myself, but the combinations of ingredients make them so yummy, I will order them next time. I would definitely recommend the place!
Great sushi for a reasonable price. After going to many sushi spots I believe this restaurant has one of the beat prices without sacrificing on quality. For 30$ I had a full stomach, some leftovers and tons of variety. The chefs also care a lot about their customers!
Very tasteful! Good size! Weve got additional free welcome 3 sushi sets! Food
I had a really rough day and the lovely person at the till gave me an entire sushi box at no additional cost, and a miso soup. Just absolutely made my day. The sushi was phenomenal too!
Good quantity.
Wasabi House has great nightly deals after 9pm, they even give you extra if they can. Good quality sushi for a family dinner, not a sushi place to eat in at, the ambiance simply is not there.
Excellent food and service!
Best Sushi in Halifax by far! The people who work here are always super friendly. The take out phone staff is also supper nice and helpful when you are not sure what type of sushi you want!
I love this place, I will visit every time I come to Halifax, great sushi at great value! Update: I have continued to come back when I visit and it still has never disappointed.
To receive 2 complimentary sushi rolls on the house was such a lovely surprise. Service was really quick and efficient. Food was lovely.nice portions of fish. All together, very lovely.
Good sushi for a good price. Highly recommend the deep fried California roll. Nigiti and sashimi were also delicious. Super friendly service too, even on a super busy Friday night Food
everything was perfect, they gave use free sushi and we got to try a banana sweet potato roll!
Always delicious sushi and the best service. Best value anywhere. I wont get sushi anywhere else..
First time here, quality and portion were amazing for the price. Will def come back for more.
Top quality sushi! The waitress was on her first day of work and she made it awesome, super friendly and helpful. Sushi is other level, you have to go!
Ive been going to Wasabi House since it opened and always loved the food. Came back after moving away for 3 years and the food was horrible. So bad that we only ate a few bites, the sweet potato roll tasted weird, the cucumber slices were huge when before they were thinly sliced. Sad to say but i wont be going back to Wasabi House
The rolls we ordered were delicious! It was reasonably priced and the service was excellent! Will definitely return!
First time here and the food was quite tasty and staff were friendly. I will be back.
Great food, great service
As always Wasabi House is one of the best sushi places in Halifax. Highly recommended, fresh tasting sushi.
Delicious and reasonably priced food. Good service. The owner was very kind and generous!
We ordered to take out and it was really fast and delicious.
Great sushi. Quick service and reasonably priced
The best place for sushi in Halifax. Incredibly delicious. They gave very tasty rolls as a gift. The waitress is very polite and attentive. This is really the best sushi in town!
Wasabi House in Lower Saclville was a personal favorite of mine, so I figured Id try the Halifax location out with my girlfriend. Out waiter was phenomenal, and the service was excellent like always. Be return here again for sure. Amazing sushi and the atmosphere is relaxing and cute.
Its a small place but its really nice. The service was amazing and so was the food. I should ask the name of the server because she was amazing. 6 stars service
Really great value, it was a joyous event when we got free rolls to our order. That really put it into 5 star territory from a value perspective. Sushi is pretty decent, not mindblowing but nice quality and have no complaints. In terms of sushi in Halifax this should be your go to place in the city.
Loved this place. The food is great and the service as well. The sushi was delicious and you can taste the fresh seafood. They also gave a free sample of nigiri. The prices are very affordable as compared to other sushi restaurants. Would highly recommend this place to all.
Friendly, efficient, downhome atmosphere. Bountiful servings! The waitress sensed that we were frazzled from earlier in the day and she was so kind. Ate in plus take out. Food and atmosphere worth the visit!
Fantastic as always.
Unbeatable value. Excellent service. My only complaint is that I find the sushi often Has too much rice. While youll find cheaper sushi and youll find better sushi, youll never find such quality and quantity for this price. The best value a la carte sushi in Halifax. I highly recommend this restaurant, a hallmark Halifax experience if youre eating on a budget. If youre looking for all you can eat I recommend Jukai (Dartmouth). For higher quality consider Doraku (Dartmouth).
Amazing sushi, they give a great amount for the price. I recommend the Monster roll, Volcano roll, and Mount Fuji roll.
Had a fantastic experience at Wasabi House! The vegetarian dragon roll was delicious with generous portions, and the surprise Avocado sushi on the house was a delightful touch. #SushiDelight
Sushi rice was over cooked and tempura bits were soft and mushy
The best for late night sushi!
Amazing Sushi in Halifax, the sashimi felt fresh and the maki rolls were very tasty. I really enjoyed the salmon spicy mayo. Thanks for the rolls we got on the house, we will be definitely coming back when we come back to Halifax!
My boyfriend and I are on vacation from PA in the states. After driving 15 hours we were exhausted and decided to stop here because of the amount of positive reviews. They did not disappoint! Food and service was absolutely amazing. We got so much food! This was the best sushi I ve had in a very very long time
Super and very generous.
Anyone who slanders this place is a fool. They give you free sushi. Great prices, fast service.
Best sushi in Halifax. At this point if it s not their sushi, I m not eating sushi in the city
Superb service ,definitely recommend
Really good portions for the price, friendly staff, and we got 2 extra rolls + a miso soup for free!
My favourite sushi spot in Halifax! Get the scorched toro
So fresh and tasty. Even got some complimentary rolls to try.
stopped in with a buddy and I can see why they recommended it. good sushi and the complimentary extras were very sweet! very no-frills dining experience/atmosphere, no fancy decor etc but if thats not a requirement for you, this place is great :]
Amazing food. Ive never had a poor experience. Always get extra food which is great
Horrible service, old and dirty place.i have no idea why ppl prefer that place when we have so many options in the city with better quality sushi. I don t recommend that place
Favorite sushi in Halifax. Never disappointed
We ordered a bunch... and got a ton! Generous portions. Tasty and fresh rolls. Efficient and courteous staff. Recommend. And if you want a taste sensation, try the monster rolls - you wont be disappointed!
Great sushi, and the free appetizer was bonus.
This was the worst sushi of my life...
Ive been to many countries and tried different sushi, but this is just a nightmare. Overcooked rice looks like mashed potatoes. We ordered a lot of rolls but they all tasted the same.
The food is just too good and they always give us inhouse sushi love that place!
Always good food and decent prices.
My fav sushi spot! Great service, and love the sushi on the house. Good price!
Great food and excellent service/staff. The folks here were incredibly friendly, helpful and anticipated our needs. The salmon sashimi was fresh and tender, the mango topping excellent and tuna tataki portions were huge. The spicy rolls were not overly spicy but still tasty. Staff offered us a complimentary roll but we were already stuffed. We cannot wait to come back here - we have been looking for something comparable to what we were accustomed to in Vancouver and so far this is the best in Halifax.
Yummy food and I will get it on Christmas break
The quality has been lacking the last 2-3x weve ordered. Unfortunate
