They are not common in the Niagara peninsula either. There are a couple
in Niagara Falls, but they are geared for tourists. I have been to two
different Japanese restaurants in the area a total of four times and
those were four very disappointing meals. I think if someone really
raved about a Japanese restaurant and took me there and treated me to a
meal you might get me into it, but from my previous experiences with
Japanese restaurants I would not bother.
