“It absolutely baffles me when I see this restaurant with nobody in it. Its great! Weve been there three times now in almost as many weeks, The waitresses are pleasant and nice. The drinks are cold., and the food fresh. Now I must say I saee skip drivers coming and going almost every ten minutes but WHY eat in nobody there? Great place with a fireplace and all. Now the front room kinda sucks as you have peoples headlights in your face all the time but the back room is awesome and we always request the back room. Anyway please try! Support this business and go...go eat in! get the hell outta the house.“
“Ordered over the phone for takeout, haven't yet had the pleasure of dining in. We were quoted 20 minutes for four rolls, and it was indeed 20 minutes! Here's what we got: - Salmon Tataki Roll: Buttery, seared salmon with real crab on the inside. So, so good. Probably my favorite roll of the night. About $15. - Mango Roll: Tamago (egg) and cream cheese inside. Also comes with asparagus, but I asked for cucumber instead. Love, love, love this roll! So light and refreshing. About $12. - Chopped Scallop Roll: I expected a basic scallop maki, but nope. Spicy bay scallops on top of a veggie roll. YUM. Also about $12. - Spicy Tuna Roll: Tuna on the inside, spicy sauce on top -- and it's certainly spicy! $7.50. Dinner was delicious, we will definitely be back for more. Located in the Belmont Market plaza, by A&W and Starbucks.“
“I have been to many fine dining restaurants however the experience at Marilena Cafe with Josh was phenomenal and next to none. He had great hospitality, recommendations and attention to detail.We tried oysters, sushi, pasta, steel head, chicken and desserts. Couldn’t find a single dish that i didn’t like. They have great vegetarian options as well.We were so happy that we visited the next day as well and had the best time. Highly recommended.Vegetarian options: Great garden sushi and pasta“
“Toro is a very beautiful restaurant. It looks and feels like you are under the sea.Had a very amazing Bento boxFood was fresh and beautifully presented. Green tea was also wonderful and beautifully presented.Will definitely return and suggest this place!?❣️“
“I come here the second time while I am giving a review. I am a fan of Japanese food and I found that this place outstanding from where I went during 3 months in Victoria (love it) salmon is fresh and amazing takoyaki. even chocolate mint after bills is amazing to.“
“I love everything about this place BUT if I could please suggest one minor thing: PLEASE stop using that lemon-pinesol table cleaning spray. After almost finishing an amazing meal, the table next to us gets cleared and sprayed but the lemon smell kills every pleasant olfactory sensation after that point and it just ruins the meal me. So many alternative and effective sanitizing sprays to choose from that don't smell horrid.“
“These folks are the friendliest restaurateurs in Victoria. My go-to is the udon noodle soup, however their rolls are also amazing! Great portions at a reasonable price. Lots of options for non-sushi customers.Vegetarian options: The veggie udon I am eating right now is delicious!Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, automatic doors. Avoid a ramp by entering on the Yates entrance“
“Great time as always at Toro! Food was so delicious and was much needed after a gym session. We got the tempura udon, unagi don, bbq squid, and pan fried gyoza. Also, amazing service from our server, Tessa. Above and beyond service and very friendly from her as well as the rest of the staff. Would come back again :)“
“Came here upon someone else's recommendation and it lived up to his praise! The best chicken teriyaki and tempura I've had on the island and the service on all ends was very pleasant - will definitely be regulars here for the lunch bento!“
“Nice variety of Japanese cuisine.I came here specifically eager to try the sushi and ended up going with the Sushi and Maki Gozen. It’s clear that the chefs know what they are doing when it comes to the technique, but unfortunately I found most of the raw fish to be somewhat bland here. A hint of that for me was drenching the spicy tuna roll with spicy mayo/sauce - quality sushi shouldn’t need the extra shenanigans if you ask me!What’s notable is the large variety of foods on the menu, from noodles to soups to sushi to tempura. But, in all honesty, the Gozen was quite dissatisfying. The beef side dish was a confusing addition to a sushi plate, and the fruit plate (“dessert”?) was laughable… take a look at the picture of it.Worth mentioning the very sweet customer service, but unfortunately at this price I can find so much better quality sushi and Japanese food in town.“
“One of the best sushi dinners we've had in a while! The miso soup was amazing, sunomono salad was delicious and our choice of rolls was outstanding. The chef even gave us some asparagus in our tempura because my hubby loves it!!! My kids loved their meals as well.We will be back next time we are in the area.“
“Always a pleasure with consistently above-average food. While some dishes may occasionally miss the mark, overall, it's a great experience. This time, the yam and spicy salmon rolls were fantastic, and I appreciated the perfectly cooked rice—a rarity in some sushi places. The hotate age was also a hit, and the Bianco dessert, as usual, was a delightful way to end the meal.“
“This place is a 10/10 and a bit of a hidden gem as not many people seem to know about it yet. Easily one of the best places to get Sushi in Victoria - their bento boxes are amazing, and I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered here. I hesitate to write this because I never want it to get so popular that it becomes hard to get a seat, but they deserve the praise.“
“We found this place while starving during lunch hour; we didn't know that this restaurant is strategically located in the heart of Langford, with a grocery store next to it, and plenty of other restaurants nearby as plan B's, just in case we didn't like the menu lineup. Thankfully, that did not happen.The lunch specials gave us enough mileage, so we ordered two different versions of that. My version had beef teriyaki, and I paid extra to upgrade the California rolls to Dynamite rolls (best $1 I've spent all day). The Dynamite rolls held together well and were tasty. The beef teriyaki was okay, but I was pleased at the generous portion on the Bento box. The lunch special also came with miso soup, salad, a few pieces of tempura, and an upside-down orange. All in all, quite a pleasant experience.We came during late lunch, so the place wasn't busy, and the one person manning the floor was enough to serve everyone.“
“Sushi Jiro is an exceptionally delightful dining experience, boasting an inviting ambiance complemented by the warm and cordial staff. The menu offers great value, with generous portions that promise not just satisfaction but a true feast for the senses. Each dish is a testament to freshness and flavor, ensuring a memorable meal that leaves you eagerly anticipating your next visit.“
“Incredible atmosphere that somehow manages to be both exciting and intimate, and like the food, in perfectly balanced servings. Amazed at the number of flavours and ingredients they are able to fit into a sushi roll without falling into the "westernized sizing" that so many similar establishments seemed to have adopted. Delicate, balanced, and satisfying without being a meal ender. For those who enjoy all the various food media these days, and have wanted to experiment without signing up for a large, unknown dish... the Tapas style and extremely affordable menu makes multiple visits not only a must, but a new, yet familiar experience with each visit. Attentive yet subdued service finishes the dish perfectly. Balance and thoughtfulness are the threads throughout which the entire experience is woven.“
“I come here lots of times since it is near my house, and it is by far my favorite restaurant on Vancouver island. The staff is extremely nice, the environment of the store is very pleasing, and the food is absolutely astounding.Recommendations:- Anything to due with salmon“
