Late night meal before taking the ferry off Haida Gwaii. As mentioned in other reviews, they are understaffed so wait times for your meal can be a bit long (45 minute wait for my order and upon arrival, someone was wanting to pay and leave since something they ordered was taking too long however the restaurant made up for it my comping the dish they were waiting on).
My partner and I ordered Kappa maki (cucumber roll), miso soup, vegtable yaki-soba, and the Haida Gwaii roll. Everything was tasty and given to us in a cloth takeout bag which was nice. Chopsticks were included in the bag but no soy sauce packets which maybe were available at the front of the restaurant but I just didn't see them? The vegtable yaki-soba had thicker noodles than I expected (description was thin egg noodles) made me wonder how thick the yaki-udon noodles were. Overall decent meal on the island and nice end to the trip prior of the ferry travel.
Edit: Forgot to add that the food was delicious. The rolls were tasty and my partner finished the entire Haida Gwaii roll which is rare. Miso was super nice with the rainy weather and the kappa maki and veg yaki-soba was flavorful and well done overall!

Best sushi and Japanese for 100’s of miles. But it’s on Haida Gwaii — no other sushi or Japanese for 100s of miles. On the other hand, the food is truly excellent and I can’t wait to go back every time I visit HG. Also, I live in the BC lower mainland (Mecca for sushi) and I still love the sushi here. (Except maybe one time the edamame was a bit too salty).
The food was definitely fresh and very good. They are a bit understaffed, so it takes some time for the food to be ready, but it’s worth the wait for the quality.

The Haida gwaii role is great, ordered from the ferry once we got into cell service and picked it up, then headed to agate Beach. Perfect dinner for Take Out.

Lovely spot for sushi! The ladies there are so attentive and friendly. Even when they're busy they are pretty quick! Always fresh and great tasting rolls.

I settled on a 2 star review, as I could not in good conscious leave 1-star due to the food being pretty good and the staff being friendly. The Assorted tempura and the Haida Gwaii roll were particularly good.
However, our particular experience with the service was very poor. Nobody took our order for around 30 min despite the restaurant not being at full capacity. It's worth noting the debit/visa machines were down and perhaps they were short staffed or something. Regardless, our meal took around 2 hours in total, with our food coming out in sporadic intervals over the span of 1.5 hrs, with appetizers arriving at the end and our friends getting their dishes well after we had finished ours.
The cost was also higher than I anticipated. I'm aware it's remote here, though a standard tuna or salmon roll was $15+.

It took a while to wait, but it was delicious. There are many obscure Japanese restaurants...and they taste good. I recommend it.

Very accommodating. Informed that there’s no egg in tempura but it’s cooked in same fryer as prawns.
