“Fast service, hot flavourful food, great prices. We got the crispy tofu, miso ginger pork, crispy crunchy roll and crunchy goat cheese balls for just over $30. My only critique was the crispy tofu was not that crispy. Perfect for 2 sharing. Will be back to try more.“

“Very good sushi. One of the best negitoro rolls that I have had in a long time. Tight rolls that don't fall apart even with a lot of components. Fast and friendly service at a good price. And they have the crumb topping! Will be ordering again very soon.“

“A Love Letter to Momo Sushi and the Soul of Japan

From the moment I stepped into Momo Sushi on Lakeshore Road, I knew I was in for something special. The air carried the delicate aroma of fresh fish, the warm umami of simmering broths, and the faint, comforting scent of grilled soy-glazed perfection. But nothing could have prepared me for the sheer excellence that was about to unfold.

The tuna sashimi arrived first—deep crimson slices, cut with a precision that would make a katana master nod in approval. It was so fresh, so buttery, it practically melted on my tongue, whispering the taste of the Pacific like an ancient haiku. The assortment of rolls followed, each a work of edible art. Creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, luscious eel, and sweet, tangy unagi sauce all came together like the perfect balance of yin and yang.

Then came the chicken yaki udon—thick, chewy noodles tangled with tender chicken, kissed by the flames of the teppan grill, and coated in that deep, caramelized soy glaze. Every bite felt like a journey through Osaka’s bustling street markets, where sizzling noodles and laughter fill the air.

This meal, this experience, felt more than just food—it was an immersion into the soul of Japan, a place I have always loved, always admired. The land of Hondas and Lexus, of samurai and Pokémon, of the gentle precision of a sushi blade and the explosive technique of a jiu-jitsu throw. Japan isn’t just a country; it’s an art form, a way of life, a spirit that transcends borders.

If only I could go back in time, reach into fate itself, and choose my mother to be Japanese—so that Japan could live in my very blood. But perhaps, in some ways, it already does. Every bite of sushi, every roaring Honda engine, every moment on the mat in a jiu-jitsu roll, every nostalgic Pokémon battle—I carry Japan in my heart.

And for those fleeting moments at Momo Sushi, with the taste of ocean-fresh sashimi still lingering, I felt at home.“

“Maki Sushi is our absolute favourite restaurant in Kelowna! The owners are the kindest people who make delicious food our family is obsessed with ❤️ Food is fresh, yummy, well priced and oh so satisfying. Highly recommend this hidden gem!“

“Komo Sushi is truly a gem in Kelowna – easily the best sushi experience in town. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming, setting the stage for a fantastic meal.

The sushi here is simply outstanding. The fish is exceptionally fresh, with a melt-in-your-mouth quality that is hard to find anywhere else. Each roll is crafted with precision and care, highlighting the balance of flavors and textures that every sushi lover craves. Their sashimi is sliced to perfection, and the specialty rolls showcase a wonderful creativity, all while remaining true to traditional Japanese flavors.

Service at Komo Sushi is equally impressive. The staff is attentive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure every customer leaves happy. Orders arrive promptly, and the team goes above and beyond to make recommendations and ensure dietary preferences are respected.

On top of all this, the pricing is very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of both the ingredients and service. Komo Sushi delivers incredible value, making it an ideal choice for both casual dining and special occasions.

To the owners and team at Komo Sushi – thank you for bringing such exceptional cuisine to Kelowna! This restaurant has truly set a high standard, and I look forward to dining here again soon. Highly recommended!“

“The food was really good and at a good price, but getting the attention of a server was hard.
At the end, they just randomly dropped the bill as if they wanted to rush us even though we wanted to order more. Maybe our experience was singled out but it is worth visiting as the food is decent.“

“Really enjoyed my visit - the service, food, and atmosphere were all amazing.

Their fish tasted fresh and reminded me of the food I had in Japan. Our server was kind and very attentive to our needs. We went on a Sunday so it wasn’t busy and we found there was a lot of parking. Would definitely visit again!“

“love the sushi here always so fresh!!!“

“Great sushi spot in Kelowna. If you’re from Vancouver like me and looking for Vancouver grade sushi, this is the spot. Sashimi, maki rolls, Miso ramen, and the boxes all fresh and excellent. We’ve been coming here at least once a month for 4 years and Dozo has NEVER disappointed. Consistently 5 stars. Ordering take out now..“

“Look at this brilliant dish. Not only were they quick and timely in preparing, but it was still fresh and crunchy when the wife brought it home. It's quite uncommon when the product stays so crunchy and was a very pleasant surprise. The flavoring was good without being overbearing.quite a good experience with this style of food. Not our first but possibly the best experience so far.“

“Always good food and a great price! Theyre a small location that closes on sundays and between lunch and dinner. My favorite place to go! Staff (even in the kitchen) say hello or thank you, its very kind. Daily specials are worth paying attention to; theyre great prices!“

“Great food and friendly fast service. Best place for this cuisine“

“Gamjatang was edible ^^
The kids also enjoyed the Jjajangmyeon.
I went there with high expectations, but I was a bit taken aback because it was my first time seeing a Korean restaurant without any side dishes or kimchi even when ordering the main menu, but it seemed like most of the customers here don't have any experience with Korean food, so they just ate it without knowing it haha.
I don't eat a lot, but the rice comes in a bowl big enough to hold a side dish, and no matter how much you serve it like gobong rice, it's still not enough haha.
I don't think you should compare it to Korean restaurants in Calgary -
If you miss Korean food a lot during your trip, I recommend going there.“

“The food is amazing. The service was great with our meal being prepared extremely quickly. And the people there are lovely and super appreciative of your business.“

“one of the best ramen i’ve tasted so far. 😋 for sure will comeback. 🫡“

“The service was great, the servers were super kind and answered all my questions. Now THE FOOD. The Beef pho was the best pho I’ve ever had. The beef was super tender and the server said it was boiling for 6 hours while the broth was super rich. The restaurant was super cute with a lot of decoration and had a very personal feel. Super Local and Super nice 10/10 (The pho was also very affordable only being 15.70$ after tax)“

“If you're searching for a satisfying meal that won't break the bank, Pacific Poke might be the place for you!With a friendly staff to assist you, you can choose to build your bowl or one of their pre-designed options.There's ample space to enjoy your meal in-house or take it to-go and savour it under the sun.“

“Excellent party combo....“

“It’s a “must try” when in Kelowna!“

“I honestly have low expectations for every aspect of the fast food experience. But I was really impressed by this Edo location in West Kelowna today. First of all, the restaurant is immaculate. Super clean tables, seats, floors, bathrooms, everything. The employees are working very efficiently together like a well oiled machine. The cashier who served my family was super friendly. She seemed genuinely cheerful to be helping us. All the employees were so smiley. And the food - wow! Hot, generous portions, very tasty. Really top notch customer experience in every way. We’ll definitely be back!“

“My kids love coming here for the big menu, all you can eat and dessert. The staff is always friendly. The food comes fresh and made as you order instead of sitting under a heat lamp.“

“Oka is amazing! They have awesome staff who work tirelessly to make sure their guests are taken care of, I love eating here their food is spectacular (highly recommend the Volcano roll).

I had them provide food for my wedding reception and it was unbelievable the food went so fast! Very reasonably priced for all food and large orders such as a wedding reception!“
