| - This year, as a special treat I went to Sushi Niwa (that's what it says on the sign so that's what I call it) for my birthday. It was lovely, but likely would have been even better if someone else picked up the tab. Probably even better still if there was someone else there to pick up the tab.
Yes, I eat alone. Only sushi restaurants though as the incremental food serving technique these places employ allows for the least amount of time alone at a table. And by alone, I mean without any food to eat.
I've been here a few times and I haven't had a bad experience. To my knowledge it's the best sushi in Oakville though I would be glad to be proven wrong on that one. The tempura is nice, the sushi is very fresh and tasty and the rice (key) is nicely prepared. They also have a house soup made of long, thin noodles, tempura bits and seaweed that is a great start to a great meal.
Located in North/East Oakville in a plaza, it would be easy to miss this spot and based on the traffic I've seen in there, most have. Still, it seems to have developed a quiet but loyal following that should keep them in business there at least until I'm able to move back downtown. How convenient.
One major drawback to Sushi Niwa is not cheap. The last 2 times I went there I spent $30+ on just myself which is simply too much. Plus, usually when I go to sushi places alone they end up giving me some free shit, not the case here. Where's the hometown discount bro? They must not actually be Japanese. We rook out fol oul rown.
