Reviews for Jinzakaya in Waterloo, ON
The best dinner (ayce) of all sushi places. I've been to some ayce ones sushi places but this one is on top list. My husband... loved the food and it's just good quality. I wasn't able to take more of some pictures of our food but they have the best menu.Highly recommended the dinner time too. Read more
We wanted to try either of their locations since covid times but due to the price had to keep looking else where till today we... decide to take the bite at lunch for a treat and experience what makes it such. - interior is very nice, bit small and crampedbut clean and nice decor - service was excellent, the guy was like a professional as he explained what is available and how toorder and we felt at ease siting in a restaurant for his polite nature. Smooth skills. - now the food options were great forlunch, and everything came so quick, was mind boggling even though the customers just started coming. Tempura, salad, sushi weregreat. The calamari felt like octopus tentacles (just guessing from looks and strong fishy smell), the scallops did not seemreal due to rolled strips texture and very soft. Deep fried tofu came in deep bowl of sauce, got soggy and didn't like thetaste. If you are experienced foody, may know. Other than that amazing quantity, quality overall looks good and taste was aboveaverage for AYCE. Certainly recommend this place for AYCE sushi. And lastly like many others I get mad as well where gratitudeand tip is default to 15% minimum. Crazy world transformation, food is tough deal now. Read more
Dined in for dinner last night to celebrate a family member?s graduation. I am the only vegan out of my family and our server... Ramona was very accommodating and willing to find out if certain dishes/sauces on the menu were vegan or could be made vegan forme. Everyone at our table really appreciated Ramona?s service, she was super on top of things, very helpful, attentive andlovely. The rest of our table thoroughly enjoyed the selection of very fresh sashimi, rolls, and grilled meats. The only reasonI am taking a star away is for their time limit and how they tried to charge $5 for an 8 month old baby that didn?t even eatanything other than a bit of avocado. An hour and a half is a bit tight for all you can eat and when you?re there to celebrate aspecial occasion. Read more
The sashimi is very creamy, and the sushi is also tasty. Deep fried mars bar is recommended as well. However, whatever you do,... do not order the mango cream cheese sushi Read more
Phenomenal service!!!! Just WOW!! Delicious All-You-Can-Eat, LOVE the fresh fruit slushies! Complete accommodation for my dairy... & gluten allergy. Separate menu ordering form where they crossed out any items that may have cross contamination (love that!)Suggestions of items that are a must try! If I ordered items by accident that were not in my safe list, she made sure to crossit off for me & tell me. Complete confidence in our server looking out for our needs. Such great sushi & service ??

The salmon sashimi is top notch and their eel sushi is divine! Everything comes very quickly and service is friendly. Came here... twice for a birthday and an anniversary. Both times were honestly amazing! Can?t wait to come by again. Dinner menu includes alot of premium items compared to their lunch menu so highly recommend coming in the evening. Read more
We came here on a Friday night looking for a table for 2 and was told it would be a 45 min- 1hr wait. This location is only... doing all you can eat right now, though I think they usually also had an a la carte menu. Like the Kitchener location (Kinkaku),their service and food is really top notch, even versus the other places I've been to in the Toronto area. You do have a 1.5hour seating limit but they do come by to remind you about last call and are really fast to deliver your orders quickly. Youorder by indicating quantity on slips of paper which makes tracking easy as well. Apart from their food quality being reallyfreaking high, another plus to this place is how many things you can order just 1 of if you wanted to try it out, stuff liketakoyaki or ebimayo or carpaccio. There are lots of items which come in larger quantities (indicated with P for plate or x # ofpieces otherwise) but the flexibility of how much you want to get for things other than sushi/sashimi is quite a plus. Myfavorites here are definitely their fried food (I have a weakness for takoyaki and their Karaage is so so juicy). The big handroll is also a definite must try! I wish really liked their pork cheek. Sushi/sashimi is always good as well. Definitely an allround great AYCE place to go to. Read more
Had the AYCE pre-pandemic and it was good, but we decided to order uber eats takeout to try it again. For an AYCE place, the... takeout sushi is average but definitely not on par with the izakaya dishes. Chicken karaage was very crispy and came with alarge amount of kewpie mayonnaise. Miso soup was good as well. But honestly, I would come here and order from here just for theikayaki. The buttery texture and delicious sauce to go with it makes it very addicting. Everything came well packaged and asordered. Read more
