My husband and I dropped in for lunch this afternoon and had the most friendly , down to earth waitress serving up some delicious eats. Hubs ordered the badass burger and was super stoked with his meal! Can’t beat the made in house burgers with all the fixings! I ordered the geyser sushi roll and was filled up without feeling grossly full. Worth the stop when in Nanaimo!

Fantastic and innovative sushi. Lovely servers who will help make your experience smooth and enjoyable. We ordered a variety of sushi which all come served on a large platter for sharing. It's a great way to taste a number of different menu items. The sushi was fresh and the sauces really make the dish stand out from other sushi restaurants. Great variety for vegetarians, who are often left with very bland options at a regular sushi restaurant. Would recommend!

Fish & Chips like in Great Britain and Jambalaia like in Louisiana. Great Spot after whale watching.

Disappointing experience — the place felt lifeless We were in Nanaimo for the weekend and looking for a spot to have lunch. After some searching, we decided to try this place around 4 PM — but unfortunately, it was a poor choice.
The atmosphere felt completely lifeless and uninviting. The food quality was very low — bland, poorly made, and just not enjoyable at all.
On top of that, the service was rushed and uncomfortable. The waitress didn’t give us a moment to look over the menu, returning twice within less than 10 minutes to ask for our order — even though the place was nearly empty. While we were still eating, she came again to ask if we were finished, even though it was clearly obvious we weren’t.
Believe me — if someone is truly done with their food, they’ll get up and leave. There’s no need to make them feel like they’re being pushed out.

A perfect experience. I had the Firehouse Salmon meal. It was so delicious, the rating is 11 out of 10. My partner had Seafood Jambalaya and she loved it. Our server, Maleah was so friendly, it felt like family. Food came quickly and relaxing atmosphere. We would come back here any time. This place checks all the boxes. Thank you Maleah and thank yoy Firehouse Grill. 😁❤️

Restaurant was pretty empty. Waited at the front desk to be seated for a few minutes. Had people look and ignore me. Left
We were there for our anniversary tonight. Drinks were great, seafood dip was greatand the jambalya was also great. Our server was friendly. However, unfortunately my fish was greasy and they only have chipoltle tarter sauce.

I was excited when the dish was served, but they plated three different dishes all on one plate. The assorted sashimi had a poor texture and there weren’t many types either.

I visited twice, a month apart. The first time was ok, the second time was not good. I had Miyagi's Magic Prawns and one piece of sushi on my first visit for lunch. It was fine but not something I would order again or recommend. On my second visit, I had the seafood jambalaya and that was quite bad. It was rice and seafood in a marinara-style sauce- there wasn't anything creole about it. I picked the seafood out and left the rest. The server did not inquire about my barely eaten dish. This isn't a place I would recommend for their food.

Discovered this on election night, there were very few places open and we landed here by default because they were open Monday night. What a great find! The food here is amazing. We had the fish and chips and a burger. And I have a hard time saying this without feeling foolish, but this was one of the best burgers I've ever tasted, it is the closest thing that I have encountered in a restaurant to homemade. The fish was delicious, not greasy and a lovely portion. Service was excellent and there was parking just up the street, $4 an hour. Highly recommend
