This is probably the best place for sushi in the whole CRD (or, at least in the top 3). Stopped by today for the first time. It's a super small and cute shoppe run by two lovely staff members. I'm really picky when it comes to sushi, and I had the best Philidelphia roll of any restaurant in town by far. The Atlantic salmon sashimi was buttery, prefectly cut, and so delicious. The rice in my roll and nigiri was perfect, which is where so many restaurants tend to fall off with starchy/mushy or too much rice. The price for quality is exceptional, especially since it looks like they've got some grand opening promos going on right now. Just forget everywhere else and go here, espeically for takeout because they only have a few tables. I will be making the drive from the Peninsula to here everytime I need my sushi fix. 10/10.
Edit: I've been back several times and the sushi and sashimi is always outstanding. I continue to drive from Saanichton to Langford when I need my sushi fix, even with the insane gas prices! Peter, the owner and chef, is amazing at...
Read moreCan’t say enough how grateful and happy I was! Due to pregnancy, I was craving raw fish but also concerned to have. It took me a dreadful couple of weeks before deciding to go try after so many people recommended this place. When I told the server that I’d like to have Hoedeop Bap but also avoid salmon and tuna and I’m pregnant, not only the chef came out to double check with me but I’ve got the impression that they’re confident in their food and its freshness. What I’ve got as a result was beyond my expectation. The number of different types of seafood without salmon and tuna was incredible as well as its taste. I know, in the end, it’s my responsibility to choose to eat any risky food. But, their confidence and service, combined with how healthy and happy both I and the baby are, I can’t recommend this place enough. Thanks again! We’ll definitely...
Read moreUnfortunately this restaurant is not as good as it was when he first opened. He must be having financial problems as it's become evident that the quality has gone down a lot and the ingredients are getting cut back. The Mega Dynamite roll always came with yam sticks and now he's not including the yam sticks anymore. But you'll pay the same price. I ordered sushi that had some odd rubbery piece of something in every bite. Still not sure what that was. He's recently expanded the restaurant but i doubt it'll make a difference. I don't plan on going back. Plus no deep fryer to make tempura or agedashi tofu. I'll go to other sushi restaurants in the area from now on. It's too bad he didn't stick to the good food he once...
