“Highly recommended here if you want to be full! You will enjoy different kind of Japanese food here.
Price is GOOD.
We were 8 people and they served with perfect timing. The staff was nice and kind.
All bento box has miso soup, salad and side rice.
The sause for tempura and teriyaki sauce were a bit sweet for me but overall, food was great.
Tempura udon has lots of shredded veggies and they served tempura separately. (shrimp, green bean, pumpkin and yum potato)“

“Maki Sushi is our absolute favourite restaurant in Kelowna! The owners are the kindest people who make delicious food our family is obsessed with ❤️ Food is fresh, yummy, well priced and oh so satisfying. Highly recommend this hidden gem!“

“We are always treated so well here. The service is impeccable. You won’t find nicer staff. They are hustling in there and rarely take time off. The food is delicious, consistent and fresh. If you had a poor experience, I encourage you to try again. Everyone has off days. Or not, more room for me! ❤️“

“Our go to for sushi �“

“We sat in one of the floor booths, which was fun. My partner ordered the chicken teriyaki and didn’t really like it- it wasn’t what he was expecting (flavor-wise), and he gets chicken teriyaki at most sushi restaurants! He said it was not very flavorful/kind of boring. I got a salmon sashimi dish and I did like mine. I tried his and yes, it was nothing to write home about. Overall the dining experience was decent, but maybe we could have tried another dish for him. We didn’t get sushi rolls but perhaps we should have! I would go back and try this place again.“

“I had the teriyaki chicken dinner, and it was delicious! The crispy chicken paired perfectly with the flavorful sauce. The portion was generous, and the vegetables were fresh. The service was great, and the food came out quickly. I’d definitely come back again!“

“Always good food and a great price! Theyre a small location that closes on sundays and between lunch and dinner. My favorite place to go! Staff (even in the kitchen) say hello or thank you, its very kind. Daily specials are worth paying attention to; theyre great prices!“

“The food was absolutely delicious, but this is definitly a spot I'd stick to for takeout. Unfortunately, the ambiance left a lot to be desired. Being greeted by a staff member wearing casual grey sweatpants didn't set the best impression, and overhearing another server chatting with friends about clubbing and 'sneaky links' felt unprofessional and off putting. Great food but the dining experience didn't match the quality of the kitchen.“

“love the sushi here always so fresh!!!“

“I like how the food comes out very fast and also both server that take care group of us was super friendly. The owner probably working in a kitchen at the back with her family but I’m really impressed how it’s was like comes out quickly .“

“one of the best ramen i’ve tasted so far. 😋 for sure will comeback. 🫡“

“Great food and friendly fast service. Best place for this cuisine“

“The food is amazing. The service was great with our meal being prepared extremely quickly. And the people there are lovely and super appreciative of your business.“

“Food was absolutely spectacular. We had an amazing meal and the staff were so kind and friendly. Prices are fantastic and the atmosphere is very cozy. Sad there is no Bluetail in Vancouver. Truly a hidden gem“

“I ordered 20 rolls for a grad party and they created two beautiful trays decorated with kale, lemons and radishes for me. They created a vegetarian tray and a non vegetarian tray. They went above and beyond to make sure their sushi was a centrepiece for our party! Thank you to the team at Aomi!“

“Had pacific poke for lunch today, got the spicy shoyu bowl and the Maui bowl both are excellent. #SupportSmallBusiness #eatlocal“

“Excellent party combo....“

“It’s a “must try” when in Kelowna!“

“My kids love coming here for the big menu, all you can eat and dessert. The staff is always friendly. The food comes fresh and made as you order instead of sitting under a heat lamp.“

“I can only comment on the food as I always get take out.

This place is a bit of a hidden gem. Extremely good food at great prices. Also, some of the best gyoza that I've ever eaten, and I've had my share.

5/5, will be returning again.“

“Oka is amazing! They have awesome staff who work tirelessly to make sure their guests are taken care of, I love eating here their food is spectacular (highly recommend the Volcano roll).
