*Edit* my husband and i both got food poising after eating here so even though the food taste ok it certainly wasnt ok later on! ? i hope the homeless man i gave our leftovers too didnt get sick as he doesnt havr a proper washroom like we do. ? The food is ok but the service is REALLY bad! My partner and I ordered three courses plus beers and saki so we were spending a good amount of money to be there, our plates were never cleared, i even cleaned our table and staked our used plates in a very organized way so the servers would only have to pick up the perfectly staked dishes but they just sat there txting on their phones…..it would have been nice to have a cleared table to enjoy our saki after dinner. Our table stayed dirty until we left. No one asked us if we wanted anything else, we had to flag the server down to order anything and there was only one table other than us in the restaurant and there were three servers working! It was almost comical how bad the service was….I feel for the owner because the food is pretty good and the room is cute but the service was so bad i doubt ill go back.

One of my favourite places in nanaimo to get ramen. Can get busy quite fast as it's a little small but nonetheless still a great place to eat and the service is great.
Nice waitress, good food. The rolls are unexpectedly good.

Was looking for a quick dinner and came in close to closing and they still served me with a smile. It was my first time here so I decided to order the Chau’s Nagasaki Jjamppong. It did not disappoint. Very flavorful and seasoned beautifully. I do not know how to cook this item nor the methods used to complete the dish. But it had a wonderful wok flavor that was imparted to the soup base. I do not know if I wok was even used to cook it. The chasu was soft and chewy. The vegetables included in the broth was a nice surprise. I pretty munched finished off the soup base. Highly recommend and would come back. The gentleman server was really nice.Parking: There are a couple of free street parking spots and lots of paid street parking spots

3.5-4 overall .Enjoyable experience here and reasonable pricing. Came for dinner and had the Bento boxes (priced at $21-24) with an adequate amount of food. Limited seating here and may be harder for larger than 4 groups. Food was good but more of hit the spot type than standout amazing. It's very home cook style than that of a modern/high end style. Would come back here to fulfill sushi cravings.

very very disappointing when relying on previous posts. the portions on some dishes were tiny (sashimi) and then also a little on sweaty side. Dynamite rolls- caution they put some teriyaki and crunch on top that includes soy which one party has allergy. we ordered asking with no roe and responded they dont put anything on…no biggie but when called back to advise of issue they were argumentative. in 30 years of sushi never seen topping like that in good sushi spots. pick another place

We were there for dinner at about 5 pm and not much people had dined in. Our order took awhile. For the price of their items, I didn’t expect much about it. The taste was alright.I ordered bento box B. The sashimi was pretty good, but the dynamite roll was pretty much filled with imitation crab with tempura.

Ordered ramen, nigiri, and sushi rolls. Didn’t receive anything until 50minutes later of waiting. Had to mention it to the hostess who had no idea what the kitchen was doing. Realized they were prioritizing mobile/take out orders before seated patrons. Food quality was disappointing for its price point. Don’t typically take time to leave reviews.
