I have been going there for years, love the food. The sashimi is fresh, the combination dish is great. Try the amyaki habatchi if you don't like seafood.
The sushi was FAB! Very fresh. Loved everything except the soup.
The tempura is terrific. The cheese una maki (eel) was awesome.
The astmosphere is my least favorite thing about this place. Very small. Only a few tables, so if its busy you feel like you are part of the table next to you.
Just had take-out from them and for the second time now the food was way under par. The ginger and wasbi must have been in there portion cups for days before they landed in our take out box and the spicy tuna and california rolls also were not fresh at all. Probably made a day or 2 ahead of time. The meal in itself was a real let down. We could have had fresher sushi from the grocery store which is a real shame because Amakara used to be SO good.
My husband and I frequent this restaurant at least 2 times per month both dine in and take out orders. We have taken many friends to this place and it's gotten rave reviews each time. The best thing is that there is something for everyone here to order. I am a vegetarian and there is plenty for me to choose from. We love the food, variety and service we have gotten here. We are considered regulars here. LOVE IT!
Me and my brothers have been going here for quite some time and we love this place, its a great place for any occasion.
Personally i dont eat sushi but my brothers are very picky about where they eat sushi and they say this is the most authentic and fresh sushi they've had.
I love noodles so i tried the Chicken yaki udon the first time i went there, and i fell in love. Very generous portion of udon noodles in an amazing sauce with a large amount of chicken.
We also had fried calamari to start and that also was amazing especially with the sauce it comes with.
Overall this is a great place and you will NOT regret going here at all. Enjoy!

I have eaten here 5 times
The first time it was ok, but it's gotten worse each time. I think they might premake the sushi and store it, because the rice is always cold and chewy and they use a lot of it. Had Salmon that tasted off a couple times as well.
The service is pleasant.
I come from NYC and toronto sushi, the best other than Japan and I haven't found a place yet in this area that compares, but eating here for me is like buying sushi at a grocery store.
My daughter wanted to come here for her birthday...
My daughter wanted to come here for her birthday celebration, and I was hesitant at first, since I have never had Japanese delicacies before. I ordered the chicken terriyaki, which came with a soup and a lovely salad with ginger dressing. The meal was quite large, and I had a lot of leftovers. For mine and my husband's first time eating Japanese, it was a great experience. I am looking forward to coming here again with my family.
This is an OK resturant.. The food is very good...
This is an OK resturant.. The food is very good.. I came on here looking for a real nice resturant to take my wife for our anniversary.. This place is the highest rated in St Catharines so this is where we went.. Although nice and good food this is a jeans and t-shirt type of place.
We ordered Apps and went to a fancier location. I think this site needs a fancy/swanky scale.
What excellent Sashimi, I have never had such large pieces. I ordered what I would at other places and could barely finish, yet it was more affordable than the other places.
Whenever I want to go out for dinner this is my first choice..the staff even knows me now. friendly staff and amazing food. Everything tastes so fresh i love it!!!
I came here for the first time with two fo my friends and I was so amaized on how beautifully delicious this little restaurant was. There was not one thing I did not like or would change. Simply excellent!
What a find! Great atmosphere, fresh(est) fish, great service, pride of ownership - what's not to love.
Congratulations to the staff and owners - well done!
great sushi restaurant, excellent food, great service, much better flavors and tasting than those all you can eat places, I would recommend Amakra over those want to be places any day
