Kamloops' Hidden Gem | Korean-Japanese Fusion at Its Best 🇯🇵🇰🇷

After two weeks of meticulously eating through Kamloops' top-rated restaurants (yes, we took our culinary research very seriously), one unassuming spot completely rewired our taste buds – Arigato Sushi Valleyview, a Japanese restaurant with secret Korean mastery! 🍽️ Our Go-To Orders (3 Visits & Counting!) 🥘 Red Tofu Stew (Soon Dubu Jjigae) Silken tofu floating in a fiery, crimson broth – spicy enough to tingle but never overwhelm Hidden treasures: plump shrimp, tender squid rings, and briny clams for layered umami Pair with: Their house-made kimchi (ask politely – it’s not on the menu!) 🌶️ Spicy Seafood Hotpot A seafood riot: mussels, shrimp, and squid swimming in a gochujang-infused sauce Chef’s secret: The broth reduces into a thick, addictive glaze – pour it over steamed rice for round two! 🫓 Kimchi Pancakes (Off-Menu Hack!) Crispy-edged with fermented kimchi punch Served with a soy-vinegar dip that cuts through richness ✨ Why It Stands Out ✔️ Korean-owned authenticity: Recipes passed down from Busan, executed with Tokyo-level precision ✔️ Portion perfection: Designed for sharing (but we won’t judge if you don’t) ✔️ Consistency champion: Every visit delivers the same "wow" factor – no off days 📍 Arigato Sushi Valleyview (Look for the blue awning near Valleyview’s Walmart) Pro tips: Weekday lunches = quieter vibe + faster service BYOB (no liquor license, but corkage is waived!) #KamloopsEats #FusionFood #HiddenGems
