29 Best Japanese Restaurants in Kelowna

“This is a great choice, a convenient, family run restaurant. Delicious food and generous portions, friendly and welcoming service. I look forward to visiting again.“

“Absolutely delicious, highly recommend.“

“Great food, Great atmosphere, Great service!
We ordered gomae, both chicken and beef teriyaki rolls, and an avocado maki.
The portions were excellent, we left with almost a whole roll, we were perfectly full!! The tea was nice and well steeped, and not too hot to drink. We were surprised they are open till 11pm, a good spot for some late night sushi if youre downtown. Recommend, we will be back to try some other dishes!“

“Went here for a quick bite with low expectations, was genuinely shocked by the quality. Food was quick, cheap and delicious. Interior is decorated so nicely, even the bathrooms are spotless. Surprised this place isn’t more popular, it’s probably one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Kelowna!“

“Excellent service! My husband and I throughly enjoyed our time at Kasai would highly recommend. 10/10 in my book“

“Everything…. We cleaned our plates… all of us! Franchise! Come to Vancouver. 😊😊👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“amazing service. great food.“

“Great food my husband and I really like it“

“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“

“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 �“

“Tried Komo Sushi for the first time recently and was really impressed. Everything tasted fresh, and you could tell the ingredients were good quality. The sushi was made quickly and looked just as good as it tasted.

The staff were super kind and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The restaurant was clean, and the whole experience was really enjoyable.

I’ll definitely be ordering from here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid sushi spot!“

“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.“

“We stop by this restaurant every time we’re in Kelowna! The food is incredible, and the salmon especially is very good quality. Ever since this restaurant was featured in Hayley Kiyoko’s movie I have another reason to come here!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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....“

“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.“

“Absolutely loved it here the food was awesome they had a sushi cone which I had never had before and it was super delicious and fresh. The chef and waitress were so warm and welcoming i definitely recommend coming here! We ordered so much food and it was cheep too! Please come check it out! Right by save on foods on cooper st! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

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

“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.“
