What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Sushi Raku is praised for its fresh, high-quality sushi and expansive all-you-can-eat options, making it a go-to spot for many. While most diners rave about the delicious flavors and good value, a few have noted inconsistencies in roll preparation and occasional issues with freshness, though these seem to be rare occurrences.
"My partner & I travel a fair amount, always trying new sushi places, but few have held a flame to the sushi & ramen from Sushi Raku (and that’s GLOBALLY). To have such a treasure in Saskatoon is something special 🥲🍣.
We live in the neighbourhood, and have dined here countless times — so many times, in fact, that it’s almost criminal that it has taken me THIS long to give these folks the big 5 stars that they deserve.
So the question isn’t, “What have you tried that you’ve liked at Sushi Raku?” The true question is, “What haven’t I tried?!” 🤭
This is what keeps us coming back over and over again. Whenever we want to go for a FAST, great, sit down meal (and can dine for under $45-$50 for two people), we choose here 9/10 times. 🍜
Now - what ARE the repeat offenders that we get?:
- Spicy Garlic Edamame 🔥
- Tako-Yaki 🐙
- Raku Orange 🍊
- Salmon Sashimi 🐟
- Avocado & Cucumber Roll 🥑
- Spicy Salmon Roll 🌶️
- Rainbow Roll 🌈
- Las Vegas Roll 🎰
- Raku Signature Roll (be warned - she’s thick) 🤘🏼
- Night Hunter Roll 🥷
- SK Roll 🌾
- Salmon Oshi 🤤
And our NEWEST favourite is their Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen 🤯. We used to think another establishment had the best ramen in Saskatoon — we were wrong. This is the best in the city hands down.
The staff here is amazing. Every time you walk in, the Sushi Chefs greet you, and always say goodbye when you leave.
Coming here feels like coming home. Good food. Good people. Great time. 🥰.
But takeout is also equally as good. So there are no excuses not to give this place a try.
Love the Sushi Raku Team. ❤️"

"What a lovely and well presented shoyu ramen, it was really nice and fresh and arrived on time. I ordered due to my previous ramen shop no longer being around and having to find another place, so happy I tried here. Will defiantly order again!"

"Everything was great – from the fresh ingredients to the calm and cozy atmosphere. The sushi was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The staff were kind and attentive, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!"

Exploring the World in 5 Saskatoon Restaurants
Just a hop, skip, and a jump and we finish our journey around the world in Japan, at least in the form of the restaurant Sushi Raku!. According to their website, their "approach to sushi pays homage to the artisanal beauty of traditional sushi, while also pushing the boundaries by combining sushi with other global cuisines and flavor profiles.". To be fair, the idea of eating raw fish might not appeal to everyone but you might be surprised to learn that they cater not just to sushi lovers, but that Sushi Raku also has a wide variety of delicious vegetarian items too, which is great for sushi-beginners, like me!

Geographically, Saskatoon and sushi don’t necessarily go hand-in-hand, but Sushi Raku is here to prove otherwise. The fish is fresh and the roll portions are generous too. You’ll find all the classic rolls on the menu as well as the “SK Roll” composed of cream cheese, prawn tempura, avocado, and cucumber with smoked salmon and mango on top (perhaps to emulate Roughriders colours?).
The Best Sushi in Saskatoon
This polished gem consistently delivers superb sushi using only the freshest local ingredients. Customers praise the buttery-soft texture of the melt-in-your-mouth salmon and the rich umami of the bluefin tuna, expertly prepared as nigiri or in creative rolls. Sleek wooden accents and attentive service from seasoned chefs enhance the refined dining experience.
