Mama's Japanese Kitchen — Restaurant in Area A (Egmont/Pender Harbour)

This place kind of surprised me since I expected so much more based on the previous ratings.

Prices about equivalent as big cities as Vancouver, but still get less than them. Sushi could be better. O Canada special roll not really special for its price (one of most expensive). Gyoza just ok.

Bento box was kind of rediculous. First, you get slices of chicken which would assemble to bring less than a quarter of a breast. Second, the California roll didn't have much crab. Usually the artificial crab shredded and mixed with mayo for the filling whereas this one had a small crab stick (can hardly see it in my photo). Finally, their "special appetizer" is a small spring roll (probably store bought) with raw bean sprouts.

Staff member friendly, but it was basically order at the front and everything else was serve yourself (water, chopsticks, napkins and...

Coming from Vancouver, we hold sushi restaurants in high regard with an overcritical hat.

The spicy tuna roll was very good, which leads us to believe their other rolls would be good as well.

We were really craving sushi and this place did...

Great accidental find when surrounding restaurants from Sechelt to Madeira Park closed on a Tuesday evening. Excellent food. Fresh ingredients. Best Japanese food I’ve tasted in Sechelt area….and I’d have to say as good as, if not better, than many greater Vancouver Japanese restaurants. Drinks and glasses in cooler super, deliciously cold. Very busy so service a bit lacking but the food was definitely worth the wait. We arrived around 6pm…obviously a busy time as when we left around 7:15pm it was quieter. Would definitely recommend and return. Heads up it’s self order at counter even for table service. They follow Covid protocols...
