“good food yummy crazy boy rolls“

“We stopped here for dinner and everything was delicious. We had the edamame, prawn tempura, California roll, and seafood ramen—all of which I would highly recommend. The food came out incredibly fast, and the service was great. A fantastic spot if you're craving fresh, flavorful Japanese dishes.“

“The food is exceptional! The price is surprisingly affordable based on the quality. Would highly recommend!“

“I have been dining here for years, and what keeps me coming back is the remarkable consistency. The sashimi is always impeccably fresh, with a clean, delicate taste that speaks to the quality of their ingredients. The rolls are not only creative in flavour but beautifully executed, showing a real attention to detail and balance.

What sets this restaurant apart is the warmth of the experience. Chef Tony has a wonderful way of making guests feel welcome, and his passion for the craft shines through in every dish. The staff are equally kind and attentive, creating an atmosphere that feels both inviting and refined. It’s rare to find a restaurant where quality never wavers over the years, but this has truly become a place I can always trust for an excellent meal.“

“Ate here last night and WOW!! So fresh and deliciousness with every bite and reasonably priced to boot...my new fav place in Victoria! Already planning to go back!!“

“Meal was very well presented . Everything was very fresh and would highly recommend“

“I really enjoy this place, especially their Korean Pork Bulgogi—it’s so good that I keep coming back just for that. The food is consistently delicious, though I’ve noticed a few changes. They no longer serve miso soup when you dine in, which was always a nice touch. Sometimes the utensils are forgotten in the takeout bag, and if you order later in the evening, the food can arrive colder than expected. Despite these small issues, the quality and taste of the dishes always stand out, and it remains one of my favorite spots.“

“Friend at work told me about this place. I have to say it really exceeded my expectations. The rolls were massive and the flavours were right and the vibes were vibing.I love sushi and after my experience here it will be now be my spot. The staff , the vibes, the portions all of it makes this place an absolute gem. Thank you for such a wonderful fast delicious lunch experience .“

“Some of the best sushi I've had. We sat at the bar and the environment was very cozy. We were right in front of the gentleman who made our sushi and you can tell he was caring and paying attention to our order and needs as much as the wait staff.

Highly recommend the softshell crab tempura roll and the butter fish Nagiri! Probably the only restaurant we ate at in our Victoria trip that we would look to come back to if we visited again. 10 out of 10 atmosphere!“

“Sakura is a great spot with a wide variety of takeout bento boxes. Perfect for a quick and tasty meal. The staff are super friendly and adorable, making the experience even better.

Besides bento boxes and don (rice bowls), they also have a fantastic selection of Japanese groceries, including different types of rice and a surprising find—mentaiko!!!!!

Definitely worth a visit for anyone looking for authentic Japanese ingredients and convenient meal options.“

“This Japanese restaurant is really great 👍. Andy’s service was excellent—his recommendation to add tuna to the sashimi platter was absolutely spot-on ✅, along with the eel and wagyu sushi. The ingredients were fresh and delicious, and I’ll definitely come back again.“

“Huge family order for a meal break at San Pen; the (owners?) we're a lovely pair and the vibe inside was nice and calm. The food arrived quickly and was excellent - miso soup, firecracker roll Caterpillar rolls were the highlight. Would come back in a second. CenSaitional!“

“Buy one, get the second 50% off. 6 fresh options to choose from. I have tempora yam and California rolls. Extremely well made. Nothing fell apart. I'm terrible at using chop sticks. Good selection of bottled drinks. Perfect location in the food area.“

“Was yummy and not expensive 😋“

“got the tobitama sunset and the tempura bento. amazing!“

“Fantastic staff. Great food. Immaculate vibes!“

“Our chef (red coloured hat/ascot in the photos) was a REMARKABLE addition to our evening. He knocked it out of the park with the banter. I will definitely be saying this with certainty: Ever single person at a restaurant has an even higher bar to stand next to now that I know hospitality isn’t actually dead. I have been in this industry for 12 years, I’m blown away. VERY impressed. You hosted 2 groups of strangers like we were your best friends. The steak was cooked perfectly!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you! I WILL be back!!!“

“The best Japanese Restaurant so far…Highly recommended…“

“Delicious food made with love. Sushi Time Express is my favourite sushi place in Victoria!“

“A nice place to enjoy your lunch break. I recently ate here and the quality of the materials are very good.

I ordered the ginger for only .69 cents and enjoyed it was the side wasabi which was also only 69 cents. Good deal for a light meal.

The containers are strong and well made and they give you high quality chopsticks at no additional charge. The chopsticks did not splinter and can be reused many times. This goes the same for the take away containers.

They provide your lunch with a compliment dining tray and thick absorbent napkins so that if you spill you don’t get it on your clothing.

Overall a good experience with inexpensive options and quality utensils and containers that can be reused many times!“

“Excellent food Eat here at least once a month Chicken udon is excellent“

“Food is great although a little bit longer wait but worth it“

“Very good experience, we were welcomed by a our server and host and she was extremely welcoming, we were seated immediately and were able to order right away, considering they opened 15 minutes before we sat down, the food came out at a reasonable time. We ordered 4 bentos and a katsu don, and everything tasted amazing, overall amazing service and good food!“

“Went here with my mom after a long, wet day, and was immediately so grateful for this wonderful restaurant! The miso soup is incredible, and we ordered more sushi than we could eat because it was so delicious. It was affordable and all the staff was so friendly and sweet. Definitely will be back!“

“Had A wonderful Lunch Today at Edo’s ! Great Staff & Very Friendly , Excellent Service !
Had a Nice Chat with Mir ! Very Polite ! Took the time to share some history of Steve Lau the entertainer! I Highly recommend to come here to dine!“

“My go to lunch is their 4 bao for $15, everything is super delicious and fresh, the perfect bite!“

“I've been liking this restaurant since 2015. I strongly recommend to this place!!! Truly delicious sushi made here!!! I would say one of the best sushi places in Victoria!“

“Super delicious and the attention is perfect. It's one of my favorite restaurants. We are always very satisfied with the preparation and quality.“

“Every time I go to Hillside I always drop by to my favorite fast food Edo.I usually order bento chicken with tempura and gyoza, I tried the noodles too and its so yummy.Moving forward I'm gonna try the rest on the menu.I would like to commend the staff esp the cashier Junna Marrie Yrah Bautista and her husb.They are so friendly and accommodating.Looking forward of having my next visit ..

Vegetarian options: I love veggies esp at my age..I eat healthy food plus healthy living which means long and happy life..God is good I met those wonderful and amazing staff. I already recommend Edo to my friends.“

“About a week ago I visited this place. I was in a bit of rush and as it always happened in that case my order got forgotten. I was very upset. Edo's chef noticed this and really went above and beyond to lift my spirits. He made a great meal for me and added shrimps on the top of my order.“

“Great place to just grab lunch and relax in a down-to-Earth sort of vibe. Straight-forward, tasty food. Sometimes I ask for half a scoop of teriyaki sauce since in can be taste too sweet and overpowering if I eat here often. Not as budget-friendly as McDonald's, but great value nonetheless if you prefer regularly having Japanese food over McD. Wish there more more cheap, practical places like this to get ethnic foods in general.“

“Excellent Ramen! Noodles made in-house! Their Miso Ramen is particularly tasty!“

“Can't say enough good things. $45 for all-you-can-eat which I thought was a great price, everyone working was so bubbly and pleasant, and the food was delicious. We had tonnes of sashimi, gyoza, crab and lobster balls, prawn and salmon tempura, and a lot of other selection off of the menu and they all came very quickly and super yummy. Would definitely recommend. Will visit again.“
