Not the best in town, but close. Still very good with great service.

I have eaten here a few times. I really enjoy their yakiudon, but their ramen is just Mr. Noodles with a scrambled egg and a small amount of beef. They should remove the ramen from the menu, because serving Mr. Noodles is just embarrassing.

This place used to be very good. But they started using ground up fish paste instead if pieces of fish. It is absolutely disgusting and I feel like I'm eating baby food. They have permanently lost a customer starting today!

Had salmon and toro sashimi, crazy girl roll and sunomono salad. All very tasty. The sashimi was a nice size. The sunomono was the best I've had in awhile and the crazy girl roll was nice and crispy with a yummy sauce on top. Will definitely be back.

Great sushi! We stopped in for lunch with the kids. We were a little worried that there was no one else there. We were pleasantly surprised! Food was great and fast service! We will be back! Thank you

The calamari was impeccably crispy, elevating its flavor profile. The soup was a delightful concoction of flavors that left a lasting impression. While the sushi was decent, the real standout was the Korean server whose warm and attentive service truly enhanced our dining experience. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the restaurant.

★★★★

Fresh ingredients- really the critical element for any sushi restaurant- and very fair portions are the biggest highlights. The texture and flavour of the staples (sashimi, nigiri sushi, maki, miso, etc.) is spot-on; the rolls have solid ‘filling:rice ratio. My only comment, completely personal preference, would be leaving the sauce off of some rolls (eg. Rainbow and Dynamite), that taste great on their own without extra stuff. Overall a positive experience, we will be back.

Probably the worst sushi restaurant we have been in BC. We came with two kids and we did not like the following about the food: the kids menus chicken was cold and looked cooked days ago, the gomaes color was brown-ish and did not seem fresh (8$ - we expected more), the miso soup was watery (definitely without bonito base), the salad had *a lot* of dressing, portions were small-ish. Fish was fresh and tasty and that deserves two stars in and on itself. Finally, the bathroom was not clean, with some sticky slime on the floor. A changing table would have also been really helpful for us but none was present. Kid-friendliness: Bathroom definitely not adequate to change small babies. No learning chopsticks available.

Love the Chicken carage bento box. Miso was amazing. With green tea....it hits the spot.

December 22, 2023

I am not one to make reviews but I would like to help out others. Not once, not twice, but THREE times, they mess up my order. Not only did they mess up but the quality of the food is so sub par to Sakura (the other place in town). This go around they gave us 2 small packs a soyasauce for a dynamite roll, rice, and 8 piece nigiri. On top of that the rice to crab portion in the roll is always absurdly bad. The portion is VERY small. $4 miso soup and you get about 1/2 cups worth. No. Chopsticks or utensils but luckily we are at home. Never have we gotten sauce on a dynamite roll anywhere but they put some on theirs and don t say that in the description. This was the 3rd time in a row our order has been like this, we (me and my wife) tried supporting local but not this place again.

My friend, granddaughter and husband said their sushi was very good. They had spicy california, dragon (i think it was called), special vegetable and a tofu one I had the 10 piece tempura starter. Was lovely. For a main I chose the chicken teriyaki rice bowl. I deducted 1 star because the chicken was coated/breaded. It made the chicken hard. I would have preferred just seasoned chicken breast. And, I ordered coffee that tasted like it had been microwaved. My fault for ordering coffee from a sushi restaurant . No stars deducted for that. Staff was friendly and attentive. Im not a sushi fan so based on rhe teriyaki bowl I would say not again. Based on the sushi and how my friend, husband and granddaughter enjoyed their meals it would be a resounding yes. So, if you dine with non sushi lovers Id say pass. Sushi lovers, go forth and enjoy!!

The sushi itself is pretty good, but its fairly expensive, portions are a bit smaller than what you get in other cities, and I think they forgot wasabi and ginger in my order (or maybe they charge extra for it?). Best sushi I found in Cranbrook, though - tasty!

Some improvement completed - much more needed. Fish was not fishy as previous visits, so that s a plus. However, one dish we ordered was served on a cracked, and possibly burnt plastic dish this made me feel as though there is a lack of care in the food preparation. Please just get rid of damaged tableware. I would have ordered something Korean as this place says it has Korean dishes, but there was only one choice. Very Meh.

Hello Sir/mam, I want to inform you about service s rude behaviour at your restaurant on aug 21 around 12:08pm. She was extremely rude. We have been here before many times never had face that type of behaviour. Sometimes we have been here from Invermere to place an order or dinning. We both are working at a restaurant since 2016 and 2019 as a manager and supervisor. We ordered our order to her but forgot to add spice level so I went there to add some spices and do take out order as well at the front desk. She came at our table and said that, never been to a restaurant before? What you want?? Like what is the sense of customer service? We just went out immediately. They should have to learn some sense that how to speak with customers?? and never ever come again. Look forward to hearing from you. ( I emailed to owner as well and till the date I didn t get any reply from them side ) Loved the food but won t go back because of the rude manners of that grumpy lady.

Ordered the teriyaki chicken bento box. It was lots of food and very good. My friend had the teriyaki beef box. He liked most but thought the beef tasted off so did not eat it. Told this to the waitress when we were done. She apologized and said she would tell the cook. Then they removed the cost of his whole meal from bill. Anything can go wrong at times but a good business is the one that will take care of it. Will eat here again.

Apparently under new owners as of late. Order was taken incorrectly and then it all just didn t taste good. Rice was almost slimy, and the Rambo roll looked more like what was left of someone when Rambo was done with them than something you wanted to eat. Most definitely not going to order from here again. It is unfortunate because the Fernie sushi wood has always been excellent!

Surprisingly good sushi for a place in Cranbrook along the highway, like really good sushi. Arguably better than a place that came highly recommended in Vancouver. Pricing is on the low end for most sushi places too, representative of the location. But seriously, the sushi here is top notch. Hands down the worst service I have ever received. It took 20 minutes to take our order and there was 2 other tables in the restaurant, parts of the order were forgotten about, the waitstaff could use some training or maybe a nap... I dont know what was wrong but she was awful at her job. Regardless, if you can get over that the sushi is really good.

Always awful. Poor service. Overpriced food that barely makes it out unless you hassle the waitress. Went in at 1:30, ordered a bento box. Recieved my miso within 20 minutes, and then 15 minutes later when I asked where the rest of my food was, was told that they closed at 2:30!!! I asked why they let me order a bento box that Id never be receiving, the waitress just apologized and handed me my bill. After attempting to eat at this restaurant time and time again, Ill never be going back.

Service isnt great, avoid anything deep fried and the website isnt accurate for menu items or prices. The only reason it isnt 1 star is when I told them how bad the tempura was (soft, greasy and half onions) the manager DID call back.. 3 days later with a $10 gift card on a $50+ botched order... savr your money go to S****a instead.

Total Sushi Surprise. I have been here four times now and loved it each time. This is one of the cutest little sushi places around. I believe its run by a Korean couple which are the nicest folks. You will absolutely love the Chefs masterly craft of making specialty rolls. Do not be put off by the horrible pictures in the menu, the sushi is wonderfully made and tastes awesome. In my opinion this is one of the best places between here and the west coast and the price? Better than anywhere period for what you get.
