Sake Sushi is the one & only sushi sashimi spot in the ocean village of Ucluelet. It certainly is impressive in this role, making fresh & imaginative dishes of both, & in all the Japanese food categories; some sushi sashimi combos, as well as a nice selection of bowls. All the offerings from Sake Sushi I have had have been fresh & delicious. At lunch time it also offers a selection of bento boxes.

I ordered takeout this time, but I noticed there was a play area inside where toddlers were happily playing. As a parent myself, I know how challenging it can be to keep young children entertained while waiting for food, so having a space like that is truly wonderful.
The food was also excellent. My daughter’s favorites—sushi and tempura—were delicious and came in generous portions, which was a pleasant surprise.
I think both tourists with children and those without will find this place satisfying and enjoyable. Highly...
