Hungry Bear — Restaurant in Fort St. John

Some of the food here is amazing, but they fall short by having such a big menu- making it hard to deliver the same quality to every dish.

The food here is awesome. One of the top places in Fort St John. The flavour and quality of ingredients used is to a high standard. Examples being, K-Gyoza, Calamari, Pad Thai, Short Rib, Chicken Appys.

I know she was ran off her feet and super busy, but maybe another staff member could have came out of the back to at least do a quick table clean up or handed some menus out. Other than that experience, we are always happy to order at...

In one word.... AMAZING!

I've eaten sushi at a ton of different establishments, including many along the coastline with fresh fish - and can't remember rolls EVER tasting as good as the FSJ rolls!!

The beef plate I had was equally amazing with a TON of aged beef, amazing sauce, fresh cooked but still crispy veggies, and fresh rice served separately in a small bowl to keep it hot (brilliant).

Cozy little dine-in with super friendly and attentive staff. I ordered my meal, ate it, paid and was out the door in under an hour at a very busy time.

Cash vs food value is five stars!

My only complaint is I found this gem on my...
