This location is the mother ship to the Samurai Sushi chain on Sea to Sky. In terms of food quality and options this one is the best and they serve yummy free hot tea which is nice to have when it's cold outside.
They recently sold the two that are in Whistler and have held onto this location. Every time we come here and need something quick and relatively healthy we come here. Service has also been awesome and fast. For around $20 for two you can get yourself a pretty hearty meal and for some reason the miso soup that you get with the samurai special tastes better here than at the two other locations in Whistler.
My personal favs are not sushi but is the Tempura Udon (you get four huge pieces of tempura and a large bowl of udon) as well as whatever is on as the Samurai Special. They recently added this delicious pulled pork to the menu which brought back memories of Hawaii and local plate lunches I've had growing up. If you are undecided, get a Samurai Special, it always comes with a ton of edamame, miso soup, one sushi roll, some type of meat on a bed of rice and chicken karaage or dumplings.

It was just what I needed being by myself and wanting a mid point stop and dinner on my way back driving from Whistler to Vancouver. I would likely stop here again in the future if I am in a...
Read moreI was really disappointed with my experience here. The prices are way too high for what you get, and the service was surprisingly bad. The server, a Caucasian girl, was extremely unfriendly and completely expressionless the entire time. On top of that, I ordered a miso soup and was shocked at how tiny it was – just a small amount of broth with only one piece of tofu floating in it. Having lived in Vancouver for years and visited countless sushi restaurants, I’ve never experienced service and quality this poor. Definitely not a place I’d recommend...
