My wife and I have been regulars at Heaven Sushi for several months now. The food is always fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented. The staff are friendly and attentive, making every visit a pleasure. This past Monday was my Birthday and our server made this visit even more memorable with a birthday gift of amazing cheesecake.

Everything from raw to cooked on the menu has things for every taste and occasion. Sushi was outstanding.

Amazing service. Have visited many times during the hockey season and have never had anything less than outstanding service. Thursday pasta and wine specials are incredible value for money and also very well made food. Without doubt one of my favourite times out.
