We had such a great dining experience at Sunny Doll Japanese for Mother's Day dinner. The service was friendly, and the food was so yummy. Food: Mixed Tempura, Tuna Nigiri, Chicken Nanban, Miso Pasta, Eel Rice, Shoyu Ramen, Porkbelly, and Salmon. What better way to enjoy these amazing foods with some sake. I ordered the fruity one as I was the driver for the night. We'll definitely be back for more.

A fantastic experience with sushi featuring special mango roll, and pasta was our favorite one! The combination of pasta and Japanese style exceeded my expectations. The scenery in the store is also very beautiful, and dining here is simply a pleasure. Additionally, dog lovers can see a number of cuties here.

Elite level sushi from this little gem of a place. All made fresh to order! I have the double prawn and asked for spicy which they were more than happy to add. The miso soup was also deluxe.

There’s a reason Sushi Doll has 4.8 stars—this place is an absolute gem. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. The team had big smiles and made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. The food? So fresh and full of flavour. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, but the sushi roll stole the show—perfectly balanced, generous, and melt-in-your-mouth good. The location on Racecourse Road is ideal, especially when the sun’s out and you can sit at the breezy outdoor tables. It’s the kind of place you find yourself recommending to friends before you’ve even left. Highly recommend for a casual lunch or a relaxed dinner with quality that punches well above its price point. Will definitely be back.
