7 Best Japanese Restaurants near Courtenay

“Sushi Joes has the BEST sashimi! Try the sushi pizza or salad. If you're not a fan of sushi, try the Bi Bim Bap. It some crackling hot with amazing, tasty, crispy rice on the bottom!🤤“

“Great food, reasonable prices, excellent fast service, super pleasant staff, and the Takoyaki (たこ焼き) was absolutely amazing 👌🥰👍“

“Last night a group of us had the pleasure of eating here last night and man were we impressed!
Even though they were super busy inside (we were out on the patio) the service was awesome!
Our server was super attentive and efficient!
The portions were huge and the prices were very affordable and most importantly the food was great!
We will definitely be returning!“

“This is definitely my favorite place for sushi in the valley for so many reasons ♡ their food is consistently sooo delicious. Not only in taste, but for the size of the sushi rolls and the texture of the ingredients. It makes it well worth making the order within their working times, which i've heard some people struggle with.

The restaurant itself is cute and cozy while still being clean and well well lit. The main server, (i believe the owner, or manager) is so kind and sweet, I love seeing her everytime I go.

I've tried handfuls of sushi places in the area and this is by far my favorite! The prices are very fair too ^^“

“We were a little suspicious in the beginning to find an empty Japanese restaurant with no Google review and a ginger man behind the counter, however, the food was excellent!

With the man's recommendations, we got a a variety of different Okonomoyaki (pancakes) and Soboro Donburi (rice bowls). They were all tasty and well priced.

The restaurant was also able to make modifications to accommodate our vegan and vegetarian friends.“

“Went with my father a few weeks ago and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since! Since moving to the island we have been looking for a good sushi place and AHRA has been the best by far! Fresh, delicious and worth every penny. Will be back soon and definitely recommend!“

“Was not only quite pleased with their hours, but everything was amazing. Presentation, flavour, friendly staff. It was an absolutely joyful dining experience! 10/10 recommend!“
