Sam's Sushi in Parksville is a popular spot known for its fresh and tasty sushi plates, including the BC favorite and popular combo. The crispy chicken, hot deep-fried veggies, and fresh sashimi make it a top choice for sushi lovers. The food consistently impresses, whether dining in or ordering takeout. The cozy, inviting atmosphere feels like family, with friendly and kind staff. The restaurant has about seven tables and a four-seat bar in front of the chef, creating a welcoming environment.
The sushi experience at Sam's is exceptional, with beautifully presented rolls and perfectly seasoned rice. Many customers praise the sashimi for being very fresh, and the rolls for great flavor without too much rice or gimmicky sauces. The chef has recommended Amaebi (spotted shrimp), which many find very good. While the decor is simple and not the main focus, the restaurant's affordable prices and high-quality food make it worth visiting. It is a family-run business located in an odd spot, away from tourist areas, but easy to get in and out with plenty of parking.
Some dishes like the Sunamono may not meet all preferences, so calling ahead is advised as hours can vary and sometimes dine-in may not be available. Visitors from different places, including Germany and Edmonton, have enjoyed the experience, often noting the high quality, generous portions, and friendly service. Many consider Sam's Sushi a must-visit whenever on Vancouver Island, supporting a local business with great food at a good price.
