AHRA — Restaurant in Comox

First time here. It's head and tails above the usual filling stations I've eaten at locally. Comox has an issue with Asian food. It's generally dumbed down and comes across at food court fair. I'm not saying the Japanese restaraunts in the Valley are horrible. Their not. Their OK. On the same level you'd get at a bargain outfit in Vancouver . Ahra is different . It's better and is punching well beyond its weight for the area. As an example . Tempura. Something I go out for and don't mind paying a premium for when it's surprises you. And it does. The Nigiri was also on par with anything you'd get in a place with serious competition. The rolls were also great as part of the seafood combo. The portions aren't huge if your a big eater so order more. Prices are in line with the area. Give it a try. Well worth supporting this business in their attempt to elevate this cuisine in...

Had been meaning to give this place a try due to the great reviews. The staff was very friendly and kind when calling in and picking up the order. I ordered two specialty rolls, a couple veggie rolls and the croquettes . The veggie rolls were pretty good. Both specialty rolls, however, were not good at all and I ended up tossing half of both of them away. One (Golden Lady) was a saucy/ runny mess with one of the sauces being what tasted like, basically, canned tomato sauce. The other (Boston) was over sauced as well and very salty. The three stars is for the veggie rolls and croquettes. The croquettes were really good but, unfortunately, also sauced really heavily. I absolutely love sushi and try to support local as much as possible - this meal just...

Ahra is hands down the best sushi place in the comox valley. This little hidden gem on the corner of Guthrie and Anderton, by the tims, has the best prices and great sized portions. I've never found a other place that offered so much food for their price. It's a small place with 6 tables so it doesn't get too rowdy and you can enjoy your meal with who you are with without distractions from other tables. The owners and waiting staff are super friendly and helpful as well.

PS: they have the best lunch combos I've ever had. From Vancouver to the Island.

If you haven't been here yet, you should make it your next stop. They have a few delicious Korean...
