6 Best Japanese Restaurants near Shawnigan Lake

“Ordered the dynamite combo for takeout. Did not realize until after but there was no shrimp inside and it was a vegetarian roll. Not sure if that was a mistake or all the dynamite rolls there are vegetarian. The roll itself was decent, considering it did not have any shrimp. The nigiri had good quality fresh salmon that hit the spot.“

“EXCEPTIONAL food and incredible people that own this restaurant! Definitely a hidden gem in Shawnigan Lake. Check it out you won't be disappointed!“

“This is such a cute little place there is one lady who is doing everything and she is so sweet and kind I loved my interaction with her when getting on roll from their to go section and had to go back for more it was so delightful! Good sushi good price and lovely worker“

“Love all,of the food, amazing miso (not true of every restaurant), fresh sushi, tasty bento boxes, I can honestly say I’ve not been unhappy with anything they’ve prepared for me. But, if I was to tell you my favourite things the first would be the “Monkey Brains” we recently tried. We’ve had this dish in other restaurants and really thought we’d found the best version elsewhere...but we were wrong! Sushi House Monkey Brains are THE best! The spicy chopped scallop roll is a must, and if you like Pho, their soups are delectable. I recently ordered take out Pho and was so impressed when I realized that the broth was very obviously homemade and it was without a doubt the best Pho I’ve ever had. Thank you Sushi House, you’re our go to place!“

“We were pleasantly surprised to find that the patio is dog friendly! Also appreciate the gluten free menu and soy sauce. Staff were all so kind and welcoming, and even brought some water out for our pups. Food was great - will definitely be back if we find ourselves in the area again!“

“Felt like something fast but not the usual nasty burger. I stopped by here for some teriyaki chicken, and it was great! $16 for a large serving of chicken and sitr-fried vegetables on a bed of rice. There was plenty of both meat and veg. Tasted very good - and it was fast! I recommend!
