“What a hidden gem! The pricing is incredibly reasonable for the quality of the food you receive, making it perfect for families and friends looking to enjoy a wonderful meal without breaking the bank. It's clear that the restaurant is family-owned and operated, which adds a personal touch to every aspect of the dining experience. The staff is warm and welcoming, always ready with recommendations. If you're in the area and craving Japanese cuisine, do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Quality. $20-25 pp for 3 rolls and green tea (not hungry after)

At $35-40 pp you get an experience superior to most fine dining. Thick, buttery slices of sashimi (no rice), tempura, fried shrimp, phenomenal sushi, sake, etc.

Spider roll, crunchy spicy tuna roll, and crispy dynamite roll are amazing“

“amazing service. great food.“

“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!“

“Our go to for sushi �“

“Really great food and the service is so quick and really nice too, also, you can't beat the traditional Japanese style seating where you go into the cubbies with the sliding doors and take off ur shoes and have a really nice meal, authentic style! They also good for people with allergies or vegan options and try their best to accommodate. O-Zeki's is always a good time whether with kids or adults, thumbs up 👍“

“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!“

“Yes the atmosphere was not the best & if you walk by, you’ll probably miss it, but the Korean food was VERY authentic & sooo good!
I recommend the Gamjatang (Korean pork bone soup with potatoes)
Definitely try a locally owned restaurant because they are just trying to survive. Rent downtown Kelowna is freakin outrageous so little mom & pops won’t be able to make it. Please come here and support these businesses or the big franchises will take over!“

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

“Awesome sushi restaurant! We have been coming here on regular basis with my family and the service, quality of food and consistency is always great. Food is prepared with fresh ingredients consistently, the taste is superb and variety of rolls is awesome!“

“The food is really good, authentic Korean homecooking. I'd highly recommend both the beef soup and the fried chicken. They also make a filling and tasty Kimbap. And on top of serving good quality food, their pricing is also very reasonable given the taste and quantity. If there is one criticism, it's that their japchae, while being equal in taste to many other good japchaes I've had, was a bit soggier than they were. Overall though, this is one of the increasingly rare places that offer lots of delicious food at a good price. Worth a visit if you're in Kelowna.“

“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“

“It’s a “must try” when in Kelowna!“

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

“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!“

“Excellent party combo....“

“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 heard about Taki through friends and wanted to expand our sushi restaurant options. The people taking care of us are excellent - polite, inviting, patient. The atmosphere is light and comfortable, making for a relaxing time. The food is good, easy to recommend this for the average person.“
