Akindo Sushi Bistro - Winnipeg

I like this place because it is good ️o️ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Dined here with friends and the sushi rolls were absolutely delicious. The sashimi tasted fresh. Highly recommend the torched salmon, Akindo house roll and fire dragon roll. 4 stars for service as we had to get up a few times to call our server. Washroom could use more lighting. It was hard to find a parking spot in the area but don't let this stop you from going. This place is definitely worth checking out! Food: 5

Unfortunately I was distracted and hungry and forgot to take photos before eating, but the presentation/appearance was as good as I'd expect from decent quality sushi takeout. Better than grocery store but not as nice as eating in would have been on real dishes. The sushi and service were great, good quality fish, fresh rice, and I didn't get sick even after ordering a range of dishes and eating some of it the next day (not just California roll and other safe basics). Prices were medium high but comparable to other mid-range sushi in Winnipeg. They included a free small soup (I think mushroom miso) which I didn't order, but it smelled and looked so disgusting I couldn't even bring myself to taste it. It basically smelled like warm vomit and looked like semi-opaque, greenish-grey phlegm with big dark mushroom pieces suspended in it. Where this place loses big points is the interior state of the restaurant. There was half finished renovations/materials pushed into a corner but I couldn't see any other areas freshly redone or torn up, the rest of the dining area was dirty and shabby, and the bathroom was even worse. When I went to wash my hands the bathroom was all but destroyed. Dirty and broken fixtures, old paint and dirty bare concrete floor. It did not look freshly torn up (like for renos) it looked like it had been that way for a very long time. The mirror was dirty and the taps and sink and soap dispenser were dirty. I used my sleeve to open the door when I exited, or what's the point of having washed my hands? Very glad I was getting takeout because if I'd intended to dine in I would have changed my mind immediately upon entering. Parking: There's usually no parking within 3 mins walk of this place. There is street parking available after 1730 but it's constantly parked full every night 1730 to 0300 so the closest street spot is usually several blocks away. Or you could luck out like I did and find a place to stop illegally in the back alley behind Carlos and Murphy's and leave your friend to watch the car while you run through the gap to get to the restaurant

I don't have a photo of it but...BEST TAKO YAKI EVER OMG!!! Sushi was mid, fell apart very easily. Sashimi is super good though!! Staff is super friendly but the wait time for food is pretty high (been there multiple times and pretty long wait each time) Overall the atmosphere is very nice, my bf and I enjoyed it!
