West Sakura Teriyaki Restaurant — Restaurant in West Kelowna

I think of myself as a good judge of sushi as I’ve had it A LOT from many different cities. I will give a shout out to Mr. Sushi and sister downtown store, Sushi Yori in Prince George. Some of the best I’ve ever had and it’s in my neighbourhood! I’m here on business and wanted to try some local sushi. Anyway, I almost feel bad writing this review as the young blonde server was very friendly as was the older Chinese gentleman (owner?). Super friendly! However….The food was not good. We paid $112 for 3 chicken bento dinners an order of caterpillar rolls and an order of Philadelphia rolls. We upgraded the miso soup for wonton and also got 3 sunomono salad. Chicken was rubbery. Caterpillar rolls were good. Just good. Philadelphia rolls were the worst I’ve ever had. Soooo dry and bland. The California rolls were bland and tasteless as well. Tasted like warm rice. The salad with bentos is usually a home made or maybe even store bought peanut type sauce. This salad had like a Western family sweet onion dressing. Weird. Wontons were blah. Should’ve just had miso soup. The tempura was really done well and tasted good except they never gave us any sauces for it. Lame! The sunomono salad had hardly any noodles in it. The least I’ve ever seen. Also lame. They gave us no cutlery or even chopsticks or napkins. Good thing we weren’t going out for a picnic or something and not home to eat. I forgot to take pics. Damn….sorry. I would not recommend this place to anyone who knows sushi. To those who don’t know better, it’s probably not so bad. I won’t go back....

I love this local sushi shop and so glad my friends introduced me to it a few years ago. I am not a seafood eater but that hasn’t stopped me from loving their food. I’ve had the bento boxes, the teriyaki beef and chicken rolls, some great yam, avocado and other veggie rolls, then my friends had me try the Superman roll… and it’s so hard not to get it each time! I love it! Eat in or take out… I’ve even had this for a picnic down at the lake and still - love the Superman roll! Wish I’d stopped to take a picture of the roll this time but I was hungry. It is great. Crispy chicken pieces on top with just a little bit of jalapeños and spicy mayo. It is a great meal. The chefs and staff are always friendly, acknowledging and so nice to speak to. Take out order turn around time is very fast. Food is fresh, tasty. Good quantifies. Great...

I used to come to this sushi restaurant on occasion when I was in university in 2015. The sushi was always great. My partner and I travel to Kelowna quite frequently now from our home in Vancouver, and every time I rave to him that this is the best sushi in Kelowna. The timing never worked out in the past, but this past long weekend we finally made it! We had the Volcano, Sakura, and Ogopogo roll. All the rolls were fantastic and my partner felt like the restaurant was well worth my hype. We have been to many well known sushi restaurants in Vancouver (which we love) and this place is right on par in terms of flavour, and presentation and exceeds in terms of service. So happy to see the quality after so many years is still there! Hope to return...
