The Hespeler Roll on the Hi Sushi menu is the giveaway. A shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumber, BBQ eel build wrapped in pink rice paper, finished with eel sauce and spicy mayo — a special roll named for the Cambridge stretch the restaurant works, slotted into the same list as the Cambridge Roll and the Brantford Roll. The plate-naming is local. The order strategy underneath it is broad. Hi Sushi is an all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant on Hespeler Road that treats the format as a wide table game rather than a narrow roll list, and the menu runs through sushi, sashimi, special rolls, dim sum, hot dishes, sushi pizza, trays, boats, and combos under a single price band.
The two anchors at the centre are Golden California Roll and Salmon Sashimi — the deep-fried twist on the familiar California roll, and a three-piece salmon order that keeps the table connected to the sushi-bar fundamentals behind the all-you-can-eat format. Cheese Wontons earn the gold appetizer slot, eight pieces of crisp shell over a sweet centre that sit outside the sushi lane and travel cleanly around a shared table. The Hespeler Roll and the Pink Dynamite Roll carry the special-roll specifics — shrimp tempura and avocado as the common base, then a BBQ eel build for one and a red tuna and flying fish egg build for the other. Hi Roll, Dynamite Roll, Rock n' Roll, and Avocado Crispy Roll sit alongside on the same list. Choose Any 3 Rolls runs as an All Day Maki path; Combo For Two folds rolls, tempura, sweet-and-sour chicken, spring rolls, and chicken fried rice into one order.

How to eat at Hi Sushi
1
Order Golden California Roll and Salmon Sashimi First
Start with the two diamond menu tags because they show both sides of Hi Sushi's appeal: a richer special roll and a clean sashimi order. That gives the table a quick read on whether to keep building around rolls, raw fish, or both.
2
Add Cheese Wontons for the Table
Cheese Wontons are the easiest shared starter here. They sit outside the sushi lane, arrive in a portion built for passing around, and make the all-you-can-eat spread feel less like a roll-only meal.
3
Use Choose Any 3 Rolls for Variety
Choose Any 3 Rolls is the cleanest value move when the table wants breadth without guessing through the whole roll list. Use it to cover a familiar roll, a richer special-roll direction, and one lighter vegetable or avocado path.
4
Build a Group Order Around Combo For Two
Combo For Two is useful when the table wants sushi-adjacent variety without turning the order into a long negotiation. It brings rolls, tempura, sweet-and-sour chicken, spring rolls, and fried rice into one shareable structure.
5
Use Pickup When the Cash Discount Matters
Pickup has its own value logic here: cash pickup orders can qualify for a discount, and larger orders can add a spring roll at no extra charge. Use that when the plan is home dining rather than a sit-down all-you-can-eat meal.
