Really great sushi, takeout only. They let us sit at the table because we were passing through. A nice little find.

Really disappointed in the food. I had the spicy salmon roll, 8 pc for $9.99. It was really just a salmon maki roll with spicy mayo over it, way overpriced for what is included. Usually a spicy salmon roll would include things like some cucumbers/avocado/imitation crab or tempura in the filling, but this was quite plain. Also the salmon was very pale and dull in color, I almost thought they gave me a white flesh fish roll by mistake.
Service was nothing remarkable. The order taker offered typical service as one would expect. The chef was wearing just a thin white tank top while making the food, not what I would expect a restaurant chef to wear per se, perhaps he is going for the homey feel which I guess is one way to go about it. There is no dine-in service, but there are tables to sit at while waiting for the food.
I won’t rate stars for the atmosphere since there’s no dine in so it’s not relevant. I just noticed that the design of the place is kind of like an open kitchen where there’s a window that looks into the cooking area so technically it’s designed so you can see what the chef is doing. This is common in some Japanese restaurants. However, the “window” is blocked by a board on top of which is lined with tons of different stuff that it blocks your view and you can’t actually see the kitchen. It makes the already small area feel quite cramped and a bit suffocating. Would consider changing the arrangements if they ever offer dine in again.
Overall I would say at least the spicy salmon roll (and probably the spicy tuna roll by that logic) is overpriced for what it offers, would not recommend.

This is one of the worst restaurants I've ever been to. I ordered the seafood udon for $18.99 CAD it's not cheap, they put small dry frozen seafood in a tiny bowl of soup. It's unethical to sell this to anyone for that price, instant udon tastes better than this. The lady at the cashier was rude and not friendly, unusual for Canadians. I would advise skip this restaurant, don't go even if you are hungry, drive 20 minutes to town of Duncan with many food choices.

We’ve been here a few times over the years both pre and post Covid… we enjoy trying out different sushi hotspots in our travels.We do always prefer eating in- which is an option here they just don’t run a table service. We did sit in this time- though we ordered takeout.That said with no music or really anything other than a couple tables and chairs there isn’t much reason to stay.The folks are quiet but very polite and no complaints about service at all… it’s a quiet tiny place to get a good quality sushi- wherever you want to enjoy it.We did notice a lot of rice was used in the rolls we ordered (spicy salmon / tuna and a special spicy roll) which may just be their “way” and some people may prefer that- neither of us were too excited about it but we were able to strip some of it away so it was to our liking… only reason I mention it is we’ve never had to strip excess off- so might have been an one off.Certainly not anything we were going to send back- overall it was just fine but a bit too much for our liking.Thanks for all the fish!

Me and my husband have been going here for the past 7 years. This is our go to sushi spot. The sushi is of great guality and it's right by the house. Definitely the best sushi in my option on Vancouver Island. Always feel welcomed whenever we go.
Food was not fresh, they are uncourteous at the till. Would not recommend!

brusk greeting. small seating area No table service. Seafood yaki udon was minimal...not filling. It did have some seafood in it. Outside seating is beside a busy street/ I am not going there again.
