Frisby Ridge Sushi — Restaurant in Revelstoke

Sushi with a Side of Bruh

After a day of chasing powder through the steeps and trees of Mount MacKenzie, my crew and I slid into Frisby Ridge Sushi, ready to refuel. We were seated immediately, handed a menu stacked with sushi rolls, sashimi, ramen, and dry noodle dishes, and things were looking promising.

That is, until I suggested the party platter—a glorious 55-piece spread of sushi perfection—only to be met with blank stares from my so-called friends. Just as I was preparing my defense, the adjacent table erupted in high-fives and table slaps, clearly approving of my vision. Whether they had just wrapped up après-ski or had, let’s say, prioritized relaxation at exactly 4:20, we may never know.

Alas, my dreams of quantity over quality were crushed when one of my party declared, “I don’t eat raw fish.” Excuse me? At a sushi restaurant? That’s like going to a steakhouse and ordering a side salad.

Resigned to my fate, I drowned my sorrows in Molsons, some edamame, and gyoza, which were solid but, let’s be honest, not a 55-piece sushi spread. For my entrée, I went with the Yaki Udon with prawns and a crispy Yam Yam Roll, and let me tell you—redemption was served. The udon was bouncy and flavorful, while the yam roll was so good I’d order it on repeat.

Our server—who I can only assume is some kind of hospitality wizard—apologized for the side of bruh and somehow split our check four ways while keeping our drink tabs separate. That alone deserves a five-star review.

Even with the enthusiastic (read: loud) energy of our neighboring diners, I’d absolutely come back to Frisby Ridge Sushi next time we ski Revelstoke. And next time? I’m getting the party platter—whether my friends...

Been there once when I was younger so I thought I'd try it again.

The service was horrible to anyone who didn't come on a tour bus. I was really shocked when she told us the only available table was outside when I could see over half the restaurant was empty. Why couldn't we sit there? Because apparently those who come on tour busses take priority over any other paying customer. It was unpleasant outside because of the people smoking on the corner and the diesel truck idling beside us, plus I think the mosquitoes ate more than we did.

Food is overpriced but that's expected coming to a small town and getting sushi but something's a bit 'fishy' when tuna costs less than salmon. My dad had the teriyaki tofu and the portion was good but the sauce tasted nothing like teriyaki. I don't think my tofu is suppose to taste like cinnamon. But that's what's in there.

Don't go here expecting authentic Japanese taste, because you will be greatly disappointed like I was. You will not save anything by coming here either and unless you're a foreign tourist they could really care less about your experience.

Gonna try the other sushi place in town next time. Hopefully we have a...

HORRIBLE SERVICE. We waited a few minutes and no one greeted us at the door entrance. Finally, the Asian waitress came but she was unfriendly. She led us to a table but it was too noisy so we requested to change to a quiet table at a corner. She was extremely rude after we requested a table change. She talked in an annoyed way and asked us what we wanted in a really rushed way. The two other waitresses were nice though. I wanted to give 3 stars but the rude waitress was just so impolite and had horrible customer service.

The food was average. The sushi rolls were also decent. Sushi rice was a bit sweet and covered the sushi flavour. The chicken udon soup was pretty good and light. The natsu beef bento is good and priced decently at $18 because the portion is pretty good and the beef is almost as much as the teriyaki don. The tonkotsu ramen was good. The chicken teriyaki is pretty good and lightly flavoured and there are a lot of stir fried vegetables. Overall, decent food but horrible customer service. Never...
