East Izakaya

East Izakaya is our go-to spot for sushi, whether dining in or getting takeout. We order takeout bi-weekly, and the food is always fresh, consistent, and delicious. The menu offers great gluten-free options, which is a huge plus. The atmosphere inside is perfect for date nights or group get-togethers—modern, lively, and inviting. It does get busy, so parking can be a bit tricky, but it’s well worth it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality sushi in Niagara Falls! Also love the new takeout containers! - very high end.

Gluten-free warning! I have been coming to East for years and have never previously been disappointed. I came recently for my birthday and found so many issues, I will likely not return. I ordered off the gluten-free menu and received a sushi roll packed with bread crumbs. Because the table was so dimly lit, I was unable to notice until I ate the first bite. When I brought it to the servers attention and pointed out this was from the gluten-free menu, he said the chef just changed the way of making it. This means that any item ordered gluten-free is NOT guaranteed. The spicy salmon rolls were also incredibly low quality, likely not even salmon. More like the ends of several different fish. It was also packed with onions (which I also can't eat) to disguise the flavour. It was disgusting. Other fish items were ok but often too small of portions to enjoy.
