5 Best Japanese Restaurants near Courtenay

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

“I grew up eating Ramen in Vancouver where there is an abundance of great authentic Ramen shops serving fresh noodles with beautiful artisan broths. And Nekkei is as good as any of them. So nice to have this wonderful authentic Asian restaraunt in a town known for its mediocre and uninspired Asian scene. Thanks for your passion and your honesty in your reviews. I wish more restaraunt owners were as passionate as you. It comes through in the bowl. I also had a look at your commissary up the road from the restaraunt . I knocked on the door and asked to buy some noodles. The guys invited me in and answered all my questions about the process. It was very interesting. I was there for a while. I also left with some noodles. I'm sure this wasn't common practice as they wouldn't have time to work so thanks !“

“My favourite sushi joint in town and has been for years! Always such friendly service, the food is always AMAZING and the vibes in the restaurant are cozy and warm. They also have a huge beautiful outdoor patio I enjoy sitting out on in the warmer months. I’m vegetarian and love that they have tons of options for me—so delicious!“

“I came here for my husband's birthday dinner. We both are vegetarian and we ordered vegetable popza (vegetable fried gyoza) bibimbop with tofu, plain sunomono, and veggie rolls. They all tasted amazing. The restaurant felt like home style and the service was wonderful. It made our day. I highly recommend it 👌“

“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!“
