Paper Crane Sushi

Absolutely delicious. Friendly, attentive wait staff. Great atmosphere. Our party of four went for the omakase option, which came out to about $90/person. The staff were able to create an entirely vegetarian omakase selection for one member of our party, which was at least as good as the non-vegetarian options. We will definitely be back! I only wish our photos did the food better justice because in addition to being delicious, the food was visually stunning.

Wanted to try out the new sushi place that 2 black sheep transformed to. Paid $80 for the omakase. Started off with the saltiest miso soup I've ever tasted! No exaggeration, the table next to us were complaining too. We then had an ok salad, a bit in the bitter side. We then had albacore tuna in ponzu sauce. Sauce was ok but tuna was soggy and not fresh. This set the trend for pretty much all the fish that we tried. Pretty much none of the fish was any good, which is disappointing considering many AYCE places have fresher fish. The suace used in the brussel sprouts was very good even if they were a bit firm. The cooked salmon was well sauced but a bit slimy. The sushi roll was a bit thick on rice but was pretty good. Same with the unagi. By far the best item was the scallop sushi. It had good sauce and the texture and firmness was perfect. We then had some cold noodles made from cucumbers I think and that was decent and finished with a slice of orange for dessert. Overall quite underwhelming and overpriced for what you get and the freshness was lacking even compared to AYCE restaurants. Our waitress was very nice and worked hard for us which was greatly appreciated. If you want good omakase then go to sushi Masayuki in Burlington. It's more expensive and you get less food but it is totally worth it!

I've reflected on this for a while. And while I generally had an awesome meal that was super creative, two things irked me. To begin, I did their tasting menu which was generally great and super creative. The flavours were highly original and my only complaint food wise was that the portions on dishes were a bit unbalanced ,i.e. some too small, others like the brussel sprouts, waaaay too big . Food wise, place was very good. My two complaints were: 1 They were "creative" as to what constituted a course. At the end of the meal I was left with the impression that two of the courses were not really courses. One being the miso soup 50 cents of ingredients if that and the second being the fruit salad preceding the dessert. 2 I never actually received the proper dessert course! I left thinking that the fruit salad WAS the dessert which I was highly unimpressed by. But then I went back and counted my courses and spoke to others who had been and I realized I totally got stiffed a course! But after the salad I got a "Can I bring you anything else?" hint hint, the bill? Honest mistake I guess, but really soured the experience.

Such a phenomenal place. I really enjoyed my time here. The experience was a journey of new tastes and flavours I've now checked off my bucket list. One thing that must be raved about is the green tea cheese cake. Good lord, the green tea cheesecake. The cheesecake can have me... Thank you so much #marysbud #marybuds

I've patronised Simon for more than 10 years at his Dundas locations. Never disappointed with the quality, taste and presentation. Will return soon.

Our goto for special dinner for chef tasting menu sushi evening sake and godspeed. great service and atmosphere. Every time.

Amazing sushi! My mouth is still watering. Its definitely on my short list of favourite restaurants in Hamilton.

Ordinarily I'm very cautious about eating sushi and fish in general but I'm so glad I pushed myself out of my comfort zone for this meal! We had the omakase 10 course tasting menu and every single item was a hit for myself or my partner! The range of options, the amazing service from Drew, and the beautiful atmosphere made for one of the best date nights we've had in a long time!

The fish quality is outstanding. But the prices are just a bit beyond. I had been warned that it was overpriced and it is. I know one has the pay for quality ingredients but the prep was lacking. Flavours were there but the knife skills of the chef that evening left us eating oddly cut irregular pieces. Also the "hot" food was warm at best so really hard to find value at all here.

great vibe, great sushi and great service. The salmon tataki is absolutely gorgeous, it literally melt in your mouth. The sushi are freshly made with fresh ingredients and taste great. The price is a bit pricey still I definitely recommend trying it out
