6 Best Japanese Restaurants near Courtenay

“Amazing sushi and service. Best my kids and I have had. Definitely recommend. Photo food half eaten, the presentation was also top notch.“

“great food... slow service“

“Forgot to take photos (oops) but we got their BBQ duck rice noodles, BBQ duck bento, house rolls, and negitoro rolls. Took about 30 mins to get our takeout order and the person helping us was very knowledgeable. Yummy food! A lot of selection for gluten free meals as well and gluten free soy sauce too:)

Dietary restrictions: They were so good with gluten free food - they have a detailed menu with what is already GF and what can be made GF, as well as GF soy sauce. They were also upfront and mentioned they only have one fryer for non-GF food.“

“A great sushi to go restaurant.

Staff were very friendly and service was prompt

I had the bento box, which had teriyaki chicken (other options available, including yakisoba noodles), 4 pieces of California roll, spring roll and tempura. All were very tasty.

Highly recommended.“

“First time here. It's head and tails above the usual filling stations I've eaten at locally.Comox has an issue with Asian food. It's generally dumbed down and comes across at food court fair.I'm not saying the Japanese restaraunts in the Valley are horrible. Their not. Their OK. On the same level you'd get at a bargain outfit in Vancouver . Ahra is different . It's better and is punching well beyond its weight for the area. As an example . Tempura. Something I go out for and don't mind paying a premium for when it's surprises you. And it does.The Nigiri was also on par with anything you'd get in a place with serious competition. The rolls were also great as part of the seafood combo.The portions aren't huge if your a big eater so order more. Prices are in line with the area. Give it a try. Well worth supporting this business in their attempt to elevate this cuisine in the area . 8/10“
