Sushi Jo Japanese Restaurant in Campbell River

Bc roll and big bang roll. 2 if the best sushi rolls Ive had in ages. Highly recommend.

My favourite choice here was the tempura. We also tried the korean corn dog, very good, just too much ketchup for my taste.

Always great sushi. Service consistently slow for the last couple of years. Waited 35 mins for our bill after eating, finally walked up to the counter. Others were getting theirs delivered to the table... Service

Pretty dated but the food is excellent.

Extremely rude service

Really, really recommend this restaurant.

Had the veggie roll combo tray and it was all great! Very peaceful atmosphere and good/quick service.

Red Dragon Roll!!! Excellent service. Clean establishment. Incredibly delicious cuisine. Better priced than the Thai places in town.

So disappointing felt like I was being yelled at by the old lady taking orders, she was rude and pushy to me and mean to her staff. I guess I would have looked the other way if the food was good- It was not. Not tasty or balanced in flavours. Nothing special, go somewhere else

Amazing sushi! We had an assortment of maki and special rolls. Everything was very fresh. Try the Volcano Roll - itll blow your mind (mild pun intended). Honestly so good we ate there 2 nights in a row. Definitely best sushi in CR. Food

Our first time. Ordered take out. It was excellent. Food

Poor service. Food is good. 1.we been seated for 25 mins, until the food is served BUT there s not even a cup of water before the food, until we asked several times. Altho that, the front server was mad to say IS THERE ANYTHING YOU NEED BUT THE WATER. Which kind pissed me off, I think the first thing when client sits on the table, you need at least serve the water first while we waiting for the food. after that she spilled the udon soup on the table, but she apologized for that, still Ruined the mood. Also i ordered green tea and miso soup as well when I first ordered, but they both served the last when i requested 3-4 times, so which means she forgot it. I don t like the attitude of me being a customer but got that attitude, and this is my first time to have 0% tips.

Great quality sushi, fresh and elaborate. Prices are very competitive:))

Excellent sushi Need more waitresses. One is not Enough. Food : 5/5 |

A little expensive but what isnt these days. Good service and food is quality.

Just recently started going here, other places in town have gotten to expensive. I wish I would have started eatting here sooner. Delicious food. Made by lovely friendly people. The restaurant feels comfy and welcoming and you get great value for what you spend here. Would highly reccomend trying.

Great place, great food. It s always my sons first pick when asking what he wants for dinner

Hands down, the best Sushi place you can find in Campbell River. I yet have to try to dine in, as we always order takeout. But the dozen or so times we ordered, I never had any complaint, and it just tastes so good. Food

Delicious rolls, cozy atmosphere and lovely staff. Definitely returning!

Great food as always.

Great food at decent prices. Loved the ambiance and the service!

Me and my fiance had a great experience. The food is amazing and at great price. The customer service from Stella was perfect. She is very polite and kind. Thank you so much, Stella!!

Great employees, Calm environment and delicious food!!

We love the atmosphere here. My kids absolutely love sushi and coming to this specific restaurant. Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome

First time here! Ill definitely be back

My boyfriend and I have always loved coming to Sushi Jo since he introduced the restaurant to me almost 2 years ago. We try to go once a week at least so we can get their delicious takoyaki Kid-friendliness: They have coloring books and all the food on the menu, Im sure any kid would love. Even the picky ones

Soo Ive been to the one in comox was awesome, but in Campbell i ordered the EXACT same as the other restaurant and my bill was 30$ more? And tuna sashimi was very frozen, the rest was ok

Previously koto Japanese restaurant!

I LOVE this restaurant. One of Campbell Rivers very best!!

Quick stop here o our way through town. We had the place to ourselves, the food was great and staff was friendly. My son recommends trying the Potatoes Tornado

It was a great ambiance and traditional concept. The food was delicious, was designed well and it was also very cheap. People who were working there were really kind and showed an effort to get what we wanted and help us.

Great sushi

Very good food here. I am vegetarian and there are lots of choices. The staff are great, very friendly!

Very little food. I spent over$43 a person and most of us wasnt even full. A few of us barely ate. Everything in small portions. Waitress was good and taste ok. Its very expensive. That was the main problem. I wont go back.

Portion is a little small for the price but the quality of food and service more than makes up for it. Fantastic meal.

Very fresh and delicous. Nice assortment. You can have little booths where you take your shoes off, Japanese style, or regular tables. Our favourite sushi in town. Constantly good. Food

Good sushi. We ordered a tray. A lot of crab salad and a roll with a type of pasta taste was slightly less. Well cared for.

Incredible lunch box. Very tasty and flavorful and fresh. Strongly recommend!

I m from out of town and decided to go here after my family spoke really highly of this restaurant but it was probably one of the worst experiences I ve ever had. I m also a server so I usually sympathize with others but this was such a bad experience to sit through and tolerate. Half of the order was completely wrong. Which we didn t make a fuss about because mistakes happen. It was made and brought out to us and we were fine. Then, they completely forgot about our sushi pizza and we asked them about it at least three times to three different people. It took so long that we just had to ask for it to go because it was already the end of the meal. The vegetables from the tempura appetizer were completely cold and raw. We also found a rock in my mother in laws ramen. No one came to quality check our meals till after everything was finished and there is absolutely no excuse as to why. We had to ask for service when we had an issue even though it is a server s job to check on their tables. It was not busy. Our server was just standing around with the other staff not even paying mind to us. When she finally checked on us, we told her that we were very unhappy and the different issues we had. She apologized and that s it. It was not escalated and we weren t compensated for anything. Not even a conversation with a manager. Nothing was resolved and we just left extremely unhappy. My family recommended this place after enjoying dinner there a few days prior but after my time there, I would recommend everyone to just save their money and time.

Pretty standard

The two waitresses at the Campbell River restaurant are racist, my family and I will never go back there again!

The food was very good and fresh. Cozy place. Staff was friendly and efficient.

Very good for the price. I really enjoyed this.

My wife and I went for lunch at Sushi Jo today and loved it. The food was excellent and the service was great. If youre looking for delicious sushi, this is the place! Parking: Parking is not a problem.

Always delicious and fresh! Take out or dine in the quality stays the same!

Delicious food! Will be back for sure, especially liked their nigiris

Good

Probably the best sushi around and great people looking after you

Best sushi I have had ever! The staff are so friendly, this is 10/10 my go-to place to get sushi

Tasty dinner, fair value. We had a lot of fun in the booth, shoes off, semi-private.

Waitress was so nice, good prices and the food was great

Really wonderful service and cute interior! The sushi rolls were excellent! BC Roll was so good! Highly recommend checking them out for lunch!

Excellent quality and extremely friendly service.

Great food at a very reasonable price!

Very friendly staff and good sushi at reasonable prices. I will go back.

Best sushi in town!

Food was decent but the wait for it was incredibly long!

Very nice. Friendly. Clean.

I waited two hours for my food and they didn t even give me all my food I had to drive back once I got home

Ordered 2 rolls & miso soup for take out. Portion sizes were on point, presentation was perfect (containers not oversized for item) & tasted fantastic! Service was very friendly & prompt. I will definitely order again :)

The food and service were pretty good. Staff was very friendly. My seat was ripped though. Time to invest a bit in the place.

The bulgogi was excellent, as always!

Great service, amazing sushi. Fast and delicious. No need for take out container cause its just that good!! Will enjoy coming back time and time again.

Not the best in town. Undercooked Tempura..!! How is that even possible..

Two hours, for a take out order. The wait both for eat in and take out are insane. I used to like this place, but this wait time is unacceptable. I don t blame the workers, I blame the owners. You need to hire more staff, your poor employees are doing everything they can and getting frustrated customers because they are understaffed. If you can t find people to work for you, you need to pay your employees more. They truly deserve it with this workload you re putting on them. I m so disappointed that you re letting your staff go through this. This is not a one time occurrence. Happens every single time I ve try to eat here in the last few months. Where are the owners? What are they doing about it?

Great sushi! Very tasty and diverse.

Great service

Sushi is great! Service is great! Its by far our favorite place to eat!

Never ceases to amaze with great customer service and exceptional sushi. I highly recommend

It was a long wait for our food

Love this place! One of our favorite go too places!

We had a great lunch, from the unique japanese style seating, friendly table service to the delicious sushi, it was all around a great dining experience. I would love to go back to try different menu items. Kid-friendliness: Not ideal if a high chair is required due to the limited american style seating available.

Great food, great service. Will definitely eat there again

The food was awesome the service was great for one of the best sushi places in town definitely check it out

Delicious food and great staff!

Great sushi, such hard workers at this restaurant.

This has to be the best sushi in town! It is always fresh, flavourful and consistent. They have become very popular so make sure to order ahead when you can. Highly recommend this place for sushi!

Sushi Jo, way to go! The food is absolutely DIVINE! Soooooo delicious and always fresh. Fabulous value for the money. Friendly, quick service. Can t wait until Covid is over so we can sit down in the restaurant for a meal, the decor is so nice. Will be back often! Thank you! Tuula

Hands-down the best sushi in Campbell River, and quite possibly the best we ve ever had. The Spicy Agadashe Tofu was utter perfection. Sashimi was bright & fresh. Spicy Tuna roll had perfectly balanced flavours, and the Vegetarian roll was as vibrant & delicious as it was beautiful. Highly recommend.

This has to be the best sushi place on this island based on price, quality and portion size. Price is spot on (especially the lunch box deals), portions are great and the quality of the food is amazing!! The spicy tuna and salmon rolls are killer and the beef teriyaki is super tasty. I never would have thought Campbell River would have great sushi but it does. This place is slightly better than sushi mong and stands ahead of sushi mong when comparing the quality of the fish.

First time trying it & my Tempura prawns and California roll was so fresh and delicious

Amazing so delicious

Best sushi in town by far!

Ive been in town for business twice the last couple weeks everytime I go to order they are not open when the website says they are. I also try calling and the phone number is out of service. How the hell do you eat here, I just want some sushi.

Popped in for take-out and ordered the dynamite box. Very affordable at about $12-$13, with generous portions. The chicken was tasty and tender, although I prefer it with a little crispiness. Staff were also very friendly. However, there were a few issues: -gyoza were totally inedible. It was busy and I think they rushed my order. The result was gyoza that should have spent some more time on the grill. It was like uncooked cookie dough in a wet wonton wrapper. But meat. I spat it out. -dynamite roll was middling at best. Shrimp were clearly cooked much earlier in the day so freshness was lacking. End piece was about 1 wide, too. Good luck eating that. -all in old-school styrofoam, which I now have to take to the recycling depot myself, which is a nuisance. Lots of other packaging options out there to consider. Sorry, folks. Really wanted to give a high rating, but I cant justify it on my experience.

Very fresh, delicious and good size portions. Will go again.

Sushi was quite good, higher price point compared to other cities on the island. Service was terrible. Waitress avoided eye contact and rolled her eyes when we asked to order a second round. I usually don t leave bad reviews as maybe she was having a bad day, but she brought a lot of that negative energy to our experience.

Always delicious. The Double Combo is my go to. Great bang for the buck. Great service.

Good food

Horrible slow service, would give it a zero. Half an hour after arrival someone finally came and offered us water. The redemption waz the food. Served promptly and super tasty, although my sunomono salad was average at best. The rolls were excellent and larger than expected. Improve the service wait times for dine in and its a top notch sushi joint. By Campbell River standards if nothing else.

Nice and delicious as usual!

Save your money and mood. The servers are incredibly rude. They greet customers in one of two ways do you have a reservation? if youre dining in and do you know what you want? for those wanting takeout. I had originally wanted takeout but saw online there was a 90 minute wait, when I called they said that was accurate. However, as we sat down, walk-in takeout orders were completed within 10 to 15 minutes. One of them has zero knowledge about the cuisine. Isnt donburi a soup? she said to me and then when I approached the counter and said can I pay? she said I dont know, can you? and continued to say I always ask what would an English teacher say? Im undoubtedly Asian and speak perfect English and even if I didnt thats just condescending. Food is average but with the service, you leave with a taste of discontent. Wont go back. Why spend hard-earned money where its not appreciated or welcome?

Very beautiful restaurant with interesting tables where you can kneel or sit. Their sushi was great and their takoyaki was amazing

Very busy restaurant. Had a take out yaki noodle, interesting flavour.

Definitely good food. Cant say you get the best bang for your buck tho. Had taktaki and a special roll. 6 slices of tataki and 5 decently sized pieces of rolls

Truely mediocre

Absolutely fantastic! Love this place! Make a reservation its popular. The torched tuna belly is phenomenal

When you have to call at noon to place a dinner order...call sushi jo! Been calling since 2 since she told me to DO that yesterday....not a single soul answers the phone until 430. Then Im told to call at noon...really lunch Time to make my dinner ridiculous. I MISS YOU MIKIS

Great food! Have patience- they are slammed because they really are the best sushi in town and everyone tries to order from there. My best suggestion would be to call at the very least 2 hours ahead. Everywhere is short staffed. Think about this before you decide to damage the reputation of a great small business

Good food, quick service

Good food

First time for take out and it was fresh and delicious. Prices are decent, but demand is high so book early! We will be back!

Amazing food, service was a little slow but considering the amount of people dining there it was very well run

Good food. Good service. Was understaffed when we came but the wait was well worth it. We ordered spicy ramen, tempura, and unagi. The portion sizes are generous and all of our food was excellent.

The sushi here is on par with most other places I have eaten at on the island, nothing really stands out. The service is sub standard. On my second visit to this establishment I stood at the front door for about 15 minutes while one waitress was loading take away orders, another was on the phone taking orders while management staff was watching the entire time from behind the sushi bar. This was after the lunch hour rush around 1:30 pm. There were several other folks waiting to get seated and to pick up orders. One lady told me she had ordered her take away at 11:30 am. My whole idea of eating out is to be served and pampered and not ignored. This pitiful service and I will not be back

Super delicious rolls! Ordered Dragon and Rainbow rolls - really large, sweet and juicy. 100% worth trying!

Very slow service,food was ok

I love their sushi, its definitely the best in town. My only issues are that with ordering take out-even if you call well ahead, be prepared to wait up to an extra 45 mins for your order. Ive started calling at the time theyve said itll be ready, to check if it actually is before we go and have to sit outside for 45 mins. Small things get forgotten as well, like rice or miso thats supposed to come with a dish, so check before you leave. That being said, the food is great and Ill continue to order! I know its tough right now, patience is definitely a virtue :)

Good food

The sushi was delicious and the staff super friendly. We will definitely be coming back.

We arrived short in time for another event in CR. Thought we d grab a quick bite first. Brandy Lee was a fantastic server, friendly and incredibly happy to help us out. Rushed our order and suggested next time we pre-order with our arrival time! Food was awesome, fresh and tasty. We will def be back! Thanks to the whole crew for keeping us well fed and on time for our event. Cheers!l from Cumberland!

Always enjoy the excellent food and service.

The best oriental restaurant experience i have ever had, the food is delicious, and the place is clean with typical orientals tables

Would be awsome if they were doing skip the dishes

Fantastic food!!

Very good and reasonably priced, nice dining room

Dont assume your customers dont speak Japanese. All we did was ask for no avocado on one of our rolls. The woman taking the order tried to suggest something else instead, the most expensive item in that section of the menu with the only ingredients in common with what we wanted being rice and nori. She then proceeded to have a shouted discussion with the kitchen from the register about it and how horrible no avocado was. When the food arrived, despite not being a spicy option, the food was so spicy it was inedible. Where do you get off telling customers what they want to eat and then intentionally screwing it up? We were considering making this our favourite restaurant in town and trying the one in Courtenay, but after this we will never be going back to either. The person you treated like trash is half Japanese and was raised in a Japanese household, they know what they like and are talking about. We were avoiding the spicy options because of a food allergy. That kind of service is just disgusting and you are lucky its not the kind of allergy that causes anaphylactic shock.

Hamachi kama the best great food great service and great prices. A must go to

Best Sushi in Town without any near concurrents, prices are good, staff is nice and food is amazing

Sushi Jo is my favorite sushi place in Campbell River. The food is always goos and the prices are excellent.

Although the food was amazing and super affordable, I wont make the mistake of going on a Friday night again. The staff are very friendly and did their best to keep up but the chef seemed preoccupied entertaing personal guests. Edit: worst service ever

Best sushi in town. Everything Ive tried on the menu is amazing but the crunch jo roll is exceptional.

I love this place, I would say this is the best sushi in Campbell River, and Id highly recommend. Worth a visit.

Not only was the food excellent, the service was fast, the decor was perfect and the servers were obviously happy to work there. We will be back and bring some friends with us.

Very good. Please do learn how to make a California roll- classic (seaweed out)

Was a really good atmosphere... food was good, tasty, waitresses were mixed up a bit i believe new employee and things got busy and wrong orders but they owned it and gave out edamame and got right back on track, good job.

Came during a busy dinner in which the server forgot to tell us they were out of a majority of their fish. Was a dissapointing first time but the food I did receive was quite tasty. I do believe this was a one of occasion. May try again.

Service is very friendly but a bit haphazard. The food was good but it came to our table in a rather uncoordinated fashion with some served a while before others. They were busy but I think there is room for improvement around service and timing.

Fresh food and great service

Just had dinner last night from Sushi Jos and it was by far the best Sushi I have ever had in my whole life. Looking forward to having it often.

My favourite sushi place in Campbell River. Fresh, good quality, and delicious. Everyone there is so friendly. Highly recommend.

My favourite sushi place around. The rolls are perfect sized (not too big, or too small) and there are so many for an affordable price. if you re on a budget, or if you re there to go all out on a nice meal, they have something for you. service is great and food is delicious EVERY time.

Great service and great prices!!!

The sushi was delicious

This is the best sushi place in town. Quick, friendly service, delicious food, and generous portions for the price. The Crunch Jo roll was amazing and I highly recommend it!

The food is always absolutely amazing. We do not go anywhere else for sushi, and recommend this place to all of our friends and family.

Amazing food, good service

This the best sushi place ever!! The service is incredible and food is amazing !

Outstanding noodle dishes. Everything is clearly made from scratch. Excellent.

Excellent delicious!

Really good spicy chirashi don 5/7

Enjoyed the Yakitori and assorted Sushimi, seems considerably faster then kotos

Great food, prices and friendly staff!

Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, good price

Yummy great food

Fabulous

Had the Sushi Box which was delicious

Delicious sushi, great service and we will be back.

Was so sad when fire in Courtenay closed you down. THRILLED! That you moved to Campbell River.

Delicious, easily my favorite sushi place in town.

Greta food, very busy - almost too busy!

Delicious sushi! Nice space to enjoy it too. Decent prices. Would recommend.

One of my favorite places to eat

Amazing food and service! Best gyoza ever

Excellent food. Service was bad. Nobody came around for the last 20 mins. We had to get up to get our bill.

The food was really good! We had a very big group come and they did an excellent job, the food was fast and servers were lovely.

Best sushi in town; besides Wasabiya of course. If youre looking for affordable but not pricey sushi this is the place to go. The staff are very friendly and are fast at service and waiting on you. If youre looking for a take out theyre great in getting your orders done in a timely manner. Over all, this place is one of my favorites.

First time at Sushi Jos but not our last. The spicy tuna appy was absolutely perfect. So perfect I may order it for lunch tomorrow. We tried 4 rolls and all were amazing. Service was quick and fast. Restaurant is super clean and everyone including the chefs greet you when you walk in. Very very yummy. Cant wait to come back.

Great prices, great service and of course, great food. Il be back again

Food was fantastic. The price was cheep. Ill go anytime Im in the city

Great food!

Sushi Jos was such a wonderful place to eat at. They had wonderful service and an outstanding selection of sushi and various other foods. When you go inside, youre given the option to sit in these classic booths, which adds a very cozy atmosphere to the experience. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. I highly recommend the philly roll and wonton soup... truly a wonderful lunch on a beautiful Saturday

Delicious kimchi , soup and sushi

Very authentic experience, reasonably priced. Will Definitely go again!

Excellent sushi!

Hands down best sushi around!

Experienced friendly staff, comprehensive menu, different seating options, great fish.

Great friendly service and great food! A real sushi treat!

Good service and fresh sushi. Delicious addition to our town.

Delicious sushi, and WILD salmon! Clean restaurant, friendly staff we will be back for sure.

Food was good but service was horrible. We waited 20-25 minutes at least after we were seated to even have them come offer water or take our drink/food order.
