Box n Sticks @ Kandahar

Absolutely recommendable! This was by far the best sushi I’ve ever had – fresh, creative, and perfectly prepared. The salmon and beef were also real highlights! The place is charmingly decorated and has a wonderfully cozy atmosphere. You can really tell that a lot of heart goes into everything here. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Chance upon this place and absolutely love this little izakaya. Ordered the Kushi platter and salmon sashimi and paired with a jug of sapporo beer. The chef and servers were friendly. Sashimi were thick and fresh. .. the grills were BBQ to perfection. Highly recommend.

Was expecting to be like last time food serving in a box when they first started. First time to dine-in at this location ever since they shifted to many years ago. Grilled food were so-so only. Only the beer was good 😷

Came with friends for an early weekend dinner, not much of a crowd. Quaint little shop tucked away from the crowd. Unfortunately, the food was very average for the price. The grilled sticks can be skipped in our opinion, nothing special for the price. The beef rice bowl however was decent though a bit on the saltier side with an overpowering black pepper taste (works if you like black pepper).

our dinner at box n sticks near haji lane was so cute !! the food was tasty and presented very well. i had the spicy aburi maki <3 my only qualm was the price - as the food, although totally good, was not by any means mind-blowing... which made a $25+ meal in an area where much cheaper options are available sort of unserious. at the same time, it is sushi and i understand that fresh fish demands a price tag, so it would be futile to complain. TLDR is that i would recommend but i would not rush to return.

Here to celebrate Christmas 2024. Seating is a small and the place was packed. The atmosphere is unique and very Japanese. Tried a variety of food here. The bara chiraishi is good. The sashimi and maki are great too. The buta buns were served hot and I enjoyed the herbal like taste. I would skip the skewers if I return though. Didn’t really get the freshly chargrilled taste I was hoping for. The tiramisu is also a miss as it was very watery. Overall, spent $201 for the table of food for 5 people. Service is alright. Would return for the dons and maki.

Overall atmosphere is chill and food served is delicious. The stingray fins and sake clam goes well with beer. The teriyaki corn skewer was one of my favourite too. * Feedback: The pork skewer is slightly tough but altogether the meal was good.

There was some confusion about the seating for walk-ins vs reservations that we couldn’t solve but we were happy to get a seat. The food is good - I think better hot food than sushi. It’s pricey for the portion size but would nevertheless recommend the omelette with salmon roe.
