Nha Trang Maki Sushi in Duncan

Worst value, quality has gone way down hill. See picture for how much food $100 gets you

Best sushi and customer service on the island. Always greeted by name with a friendly smile and the food is always delicious. Please go and check it out!

Can we go to Nha Trang? Is a question I frequently ask my sushi loving friends when we re in Duncan. I love sushi. All types. I m no picky eater and I m not afraid to say sushi on the island is often a miss. But Nha Trang? It dosent fit that category. A simple but delicious restaurant you won t want to miss if you re in Duncan, as it s the only place you should be getting sushi if you re even considering sushi in the first place. The staff are kind and welcoming, you re sure to get the best service quality. The menu is broad and delicious, I highly recommend the cocoon, which can be referred to as monkey brains in other restaurants, don t worry it s not actual brain, just deep fried avocado spicy tuna and crab. More recommendations are the Chicken Karaage, Tuna attack, and dynamite roll. If you re looking for sushi, this is the place, I would say 1-2 rolls is filling enough for one person and price range can differ.

Great place for a large group. Great food and service!!

Delicious variety of sushi, tempura and appetizers. House special sushi YUM !

I had the pho, it was delicious!!!!! And service was 11/10

Highly recommend! Best sushi on the Island.

Didnt like it at all

Great sushi and the owners are awesome!

Place had fantastic sushi. Folks working were very kind. I had two types of sushi rolls, and they were amazing. Food : 5/5

Do not waste your time going to another sushi place this place is simply the best

Do no listen to Martina and her son Steven. They are trying to tell you all the good reviews are from confused and uncultured tourists. Which is ridiculous. This place is absolutely amazing. The family who owns and runs it is fantastic, knowledgeable, warm and welcoming, and they serve food that is exquisite. Listen to the majority. You wont be disappointed.

Always tasty. Been here multiple times every time it is worth it. Service is always friendly and food is always delicious and fresh.

Great food, the BC roll was great but I m used to a bit more sauce in it. Staff was pleasant and service was what we expected for timing. For a Duncan Sushi restaurant it was pretty expensive. I would eat there again, just not as often as I d like due to the prices. Great location, right downtown across from city hall and the farmers market.

What an amazing experience! Honestly the best sushi I ve ever had. Every roll was delicious. Our waitress was absolutely hilarious and truly made the evening. Thank you so much!

Excellent service and food! We went during their rush so the food took a bit longer than expected but it was well worth the wait! We had a great visit with a close friend here recently and we re happy to have a new memory together here!

If youre in the mood for some incredible sushi, look no further than Nha Trang. Not only does this restaurant serve mouth-watering sushi rolls and tempura prawns, but they also offer a chefs choice option where you can leave the sushi selection up to the talented chefs. The atmosphere at Nha Trang is coz, inviting, and entertaining making it a perfect spot for catching up with friends or enjoying a solo meal. The staff are always attentive , fun, and professional, and its an absolute must in Duncan.

The owner is amazing.. she never needs to write anything down!!!! We had 20 people in the private area and each dish was delicious, fresh and speedy.. not one order was missed, not one item was unsatisfactory...Amazing service and sushi!!!

Hands down the best sushi in the Valley! Very fast service for how busy they are. We have been here many many times and have never been let down!

The first time I dined at Nha Trang was many years ago with my Aunt. I ordered the spring roll and fell I love with them. They were crispy on the outside and savory on the inside. Being from Ontario, its not very often I get there but when Im visiting my Aunt, we always make the trip. The restaurant is taken care of by some very kind, friendly and happy folks, I would highly reccomend. Best sushi and spring rolls in Duncan. Vegetarian options: Great options.

Prices are literally double for cones and rolls compared to other restaurants, soy sauce tastes like they dump water in every bottle, bento box and rolls were very cheap quality and small. Surcharge if you pay with Visa seriously . I cant believe there is positive reviews. Never will I return.

I made the mistake of giving this place another try. On a cold, dark, rainy Friday night, I thought you know maybe I should give them another try. Biggest mistake of my life, and that s really saying something. The salad roll (notice I say, roll, not rolls,) was bland, and tasteless, and filled with coarsely, chopped cabbage. The accompanying peanut sauce was bland and flavorless. The tempura was greasy and undercooked, the sushi was bland, even though I paid the extra dollar for the roe. Do not go here, do not order from here, unless you want to spend $50 for a huge disappointment of cold, greasy bland food

Disgusting behavior from the owner. Went in with friends for lunch, I ordered a bc roll. When the roll came it to the table it looked different then my normal roll. When I told them I couldnt eat the salmon skin they still charged me the full price. When I asked to have it removed from the bill she looked at me and said no I was like umm okay. So my girlfriend offered to pay, she then points at my girlfriend looks at me and says oh your paying, Ill remove it for you not for her. Now this was my first experience at this restaurant and Im floored. I wasnt rude nor was I mean or confrontational. I was actually beyond embarrassed I didnt see the skin part. 0 stars and highly recommend going else wear. DISCUSTING BEHAVIOR!!!!

Nha trang is such a great restaurant. Their soups are made from scratch and full of flavour, they use super fresh fish and wild salmon in their sushi. We always have the a BC roll or 2 best on the island, perfect salmon skin

Pretty good

We love this place. Great veggie options and the lady who runs it is so funny and sweet. Tonight she complimented my eating ability because I cleaned my plate.

You go on now. Best sushi on the island.

Excellent service and excellent food. Tables were clean, service polite and friendly. Tasty food, biodegradable take away containers. The only thing I could wish for was more generous noodle servings (to soak up the sauce) Reasonable selection of vegetarian options along with normal array of omnivore options. Much cleaner than many restaurants in Duncan that I ve tried lately.

My experience with Nha Trang Maki Sushi was very positive. The staff is friendly and the food, excellent.

The sushi is decent but it s way over priced. It s priced like a high end Japanese restaurant in Metro Vancouver. DO NOT order their chicken teriyaki, it s the worst I have ever tried in my life. The sauce tasted like watered down soy sauce. I will not visit them again.

Had a great birthday lunch with friends, definitely try the monkey brains!

Service was friendly and funny and quick! Food was good (i loved the curry), and we will be back! Thank you!

By far one of the best restaurants in Duncan. Trian is always super friendly and welcoming. The food is consistently delicious ( especially the dynamite rolls) 100/10 would recommend!!

Great little hole in the wall asian restaurant....sushi and pho are my faves

Service is very bad. Deceive customers. Not being honest with customers.

It was very delicious, and the service was very good.

Five stars Japanese restaurant.

Best Wonton soup and super friendly and mischievous host, to fun

Great food, fun service. ;)

Nice service, we had the yakitori skewers.

Beleive all the 1-2 star reviews on here, im pretty easy going with restaurant experiences and this was something else. Im pretty sure the good reviews are coming from tourists that have no frame of reference regarding what the west coast has to offer as far as japanese cuisine. Easily the worst restaurant experience ive had in canada bar none. 11$ for two bizarley flavored miso soups with previously frozen tofu (dry and spongey) to start. I ordered a salmon don and what came was something i had never seen before labelled as a don at any sushi restaurant. It was essentially a cooked salmon teryaki bowl, skin on. Not the end of the world, restaurants have different interpretations of different menu items, so i asked to get it to go and showed a photo of what i meant to order. At that point i proceeded to get gaslit by the server, insisting i specifically asked for the cooked fish (i dont like any fish that isnt raw, and would never order anything cooked), i stated i never asked for cooked fish, but im just looking to get the right one and take the first thing i ordered home to give to someone else who might like it. She doubled down and insisted im lying, everyone else at the table agreed with me and told her that i never asked for cooked salmon and she never asked me if i wanted the don bowl raw. She tripled down and said we are all remembering wrong and she is certain that she is right but that she will get me the one i want and walked away. While waiting for the new order i could hear the staff ripping into each other at the back and arguing with what was presumably some younger employee who didnt seem like he wanted to be there and i dont blame him with the treatment he was getting from what i assume were the owners. 10 mins later, i got the wild salmon don raw and to their credit, it was good. HOWEVER, after paying and leaving, i checked the receipt and surprise surprise, i was charged for an item that wasnt on the menu (i combed through their website to make sure) AND it was $33!! I have never had a don bowl more than 25 bucks anywhere in vancouver and i love my sushi places. So total two people paid almost $110$ for the worst miso soup ive ever had, an order i didnt want and the most overpriced (but decent) salmon don ive ever had... Alongside getting gaslit by an employee with a gleaming narcissistic smile, which i havent had the pleasure of experiencing in a long time. Dont go there lol

Not at all what we expected for a Sushi place. We ordered Salmon Don each expecting a raw salmon on white rice. What we received was cooked salmon slathered in teriyaki sauce. When we said that this wasnt what we expected, we were told that they specifically asked us if we wanted raw or cooked...which they didnt. Being gaslighted is annoying! I ate mine cooked, it wasnt good and had too much sauce. My son agreed to have his replaced by a raw version and take the cooked one to go. The raw one came quickly and it looked and tasted very good. When it came to paying, we ended up being charged full price for both cooked salmon dons and $33 for the replacement raw version! What?!? We ended up spending $100 for 2 miso soups, which were terrible with tofu that was previously frozen and tasting spongy, 2 terrible salmon dons, 1 tea and 1 juice. After seeing how much we were charged for this mediocre meal, we walked away very disappointed and will not go there again even though we live in the area. A note to owners, if you present your customer with a disappoint dish and they return it and order a replacement, dont take it as an opportunity to charge them exorbitant price for the replacement dish plus charge them for the dish they didnt want in the first place. Also, dont tell people that you specifically asked them something at the time of order when you didnt, thats just very bad customer service. We spent quite a bit in local restaurants and it would have cost you saying: sorry for the confusion, we can replace this order with a raw version even thought that one costs $13 more on our menu. For $13 and one returned don, you would have gotten hundreds of dollars in repeat business from our family. Building up a goodwill isnt that hard!

The sushi was very delicious, the miso soup was mediocre, but the wonton soup was too peppery and was not my thing

Probably the kindest hostess/server ever. Miso soup was excellent, rolls were very well made and tasty. The menu selection was good, covered everything you would hope for from a smaller local spot but not the widest variety of super special rolls. Definitely recommend checking out if you re downtown. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian rolls, wraps, appetizers and such are available.

This is my husbands favorite place to eat sashimi! I come here for the noodle bowl with lemongrass chicken and crispy pork egg roll. Always delicious and served with a smile.

This is a MUST if you are a sushi lover. The service is incredible and the sushi is the best we ve ever had! We let our waitress pick all of our sushi, PHENOMENAL!!! Don t hesitate to check this hidden gem out!

Always a great experience. Wonderful food.

Great spot to get a bite.Friendly service,fresh & tasty food,great menu.

Really fresh food and take out was very quick

Great restaurant. So many yummy items. Really good sushi also.

Super yummy sushi! We were not disappointed :-)

Best sushi in town, and everything else is equally delicious! Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere as well, great local spot :)

The sushi here is excellent and the hostess makes the whole experience fabulous! Love it!

Absolutely great service, lots of fun and the food was delicious! Made our day today. Will definitely come back next time we re in Duncan.

Sushi was very fresh , service was good . Prices are very high for the portions of sushi and sashimi . The tuna sashimi was fresh but cut very tiny and thin not worth $15 , I ordered nigiri ikura at $5:00 per piece ! Honestly the smallest ikura I ve ever received and it is usually half that price . Left the restaurant still hungry $77 later .

Our favourite sushi spot! The rolls are exceptionally fresh and tempura served hot to the table. The staff is just lovely - warm, kind and great for suggestions about what else to try. Always hopping at lunch, but we never feel neglected or like we have to wait. We make a point of treating ourselves at least once a month.

A long wait for the worst sushi I ve ever had. Both my partner and I thought our California roll tasted like tuna instead of crab, and the gomai salad was really vinegary.

Best sushi of my life. The owners and employees are the very best. Dynamite roll is amazing and their hot and sour soup.

Very busy, good food

Sushi was so good! You get what you pay for and I have no problem with that. Price is on par with other good sushi restaurants.

Probably the best sushi I ve had. Definitely best in Duncan

Seafood & Sushi/Sashimi was fresh!! All the dishes we had were delicious!!

This is neither Vietnamese or Japanese food. It is very low quality all around. How this got good reviews is beyond me. They wrapped our spring rolls in tin foil so by the time we git home the rolls were steamed and chewy - terrible. The wonton soup was toilet water with frozen dumplings. The sate soup was a pho with peanut butter. Just go to anywhere else and save your money.

The wait was a bit long on a Friday night but the food was excellent!

Edit: we haven t been here in a number of months and just came in and I am again blown away by how amazing and fresh their sushi is. The best sake nigiri anywhere ever! This is the best sushi on Vancouver island and quite possibly the best I ve had ever in any place, although, I have not been to Japan yet. But seriously, we drive over 30 mins to come here because it is by far the best. It might not look fancy , but the sushi is so fresh and perfectly prepared and they put so much care into their dishes and it definitely shows in the flavor filled food they serve. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Great place sushi nice atmosphere great people and they make it the way you want it

Amazing Sushi, thank you

Love this place and the ownership

The sushi is great. Staff is friendly and provide great service

My server, one of the owners, was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! She is so friendly and welcoming!!!! So knowledgeable and gave me some really great tips to enjoy the sushi experience to the fullest!!! Awesome!!! Food

Incredible food from the hot and sour soup to the gyoza and sushi. Great options for vegetarians, too. We enjoyed it all!

Delicious as always

Great food, good service

Best sushi in town.

Best sate pho Ive had in a long time!

Decided to try this place out on our way home to victoria and we were pleasantly surprised! The best sushi we ve had in a long time. 35 minute wait but we had quite a large order and it was well worth it. The fish was so fresh, crispy veggies, fresh sauces, the good chopsticks, everything was great! Appreciated it coming in a cardboard tray too instead of a bag. Very easy to eat on the go. The hostess was extremely friendly and easy to order with too. Will definitely be coming again any time we are in Duncan! Thank you!

NEW FAVOURITE SUSHI PLACE My brother & I grow up eating sushi, since moving to Victoria we never found a place that was as good as our favourite in Seattle. Working up on Duncan, on a whim we gave Nha Trang Maki a try, & I m glad we did We where blown away by how much care & pride they put into each roll and ingredient making the dining experience not just enjoyable by taste, but visually too Of course the service was fantastic & very friendly. Go here if you haven t already! You won t be disappointed

This restaurant makes my favorite hard to find dish, Cha gio. I think its the empress roll on the menu. A fried spring roll with rice wrapper with meat, noodles and veggies inside. A bit expensive but I think they are a bit fragile so a bit more difficult to make so that could explain the cost. Loved them! Great service

The best place to eat in town!

This might be the best sushi I ve ever had. It was delicious and fresh and what was really impressive was the care the owner puts into each dish - giving recommendations on how to eat certain things or what order. It made the whole experience really special. I d highly recommend!

Absolutely delicious.

Great food and great service! definitely recommend

This sushi restaurant had a pretty weird vibe going on. It took us a minute to realize why we felt a bit ooky spooky in there...then we realized the restaurant was COMPLETELY SILENT even though it was full! It was off putting. Sushi was ok but overpriced. Also took 45mins to come out of the kitchen. Just get dinner at the pub

Was worried I might not find good sushi in Duncan.... boy was I wrong! This is one of the BEST sushi spots Ive eaten at. Ask for the off-menu items... they wont disappoint! My new regular... im happy!!

Amazing sushi. Only place I will go for sushi on the island. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Amazing quality fresh fish and kind staff.

The service was with a REAL smile.. food Fresh and very tasty.. highly recommend this place!

We found that this is more of an interpretation of Japanese food and the prices are high. They were nice enough, but the service was slow and the server didnt write down the order, so of course they forgot 2 of the items we ordered. They never came back to our table after our food arrived, so we eventually just got up to leave, we didnt even have a chance to ask for the missing dishes.

Lovely find. Super friendly staff and excellent food! Cant wait to go back!!

Friendly locals. They all know each other. For a Vietnamese restaurant they make Japanese sushi. Interesting.. But non-Asians cant tell the difference As long the food tastes great.

Good food. The menu is a bit all over the Asias but the quality was there and the presentation was good. Good value per dollar and I would go back again.

Great food, prices and service!

I hadnt been to Nha Trang in a few years and thought Id go check it out with a friend. That was a mistake. Dont get me wrong the food was good. However, we waited over an hour to receive ours and they had gotten half my order wrong. It wasnt the servers fault nor the cooks, but straight up bad management. The location is pretty convenient since its in the heart of downtown and the food was good once we (finally) got it but those are just about the only positive things I can say.

Popular restaurant that has been in Duncan for years. The food is beautiful and delicious. Wide variety of menu items with choices for many diet restrictions. Staff are very friendly. Fantastic sushi. Level entry and Duncan has free two and three hour parking.

I found very few restaurants open in the centre of Duncan, so this restaurant close to being a forced choice. But I left this restaurant feeling that it is as actually a very good choice. The menu included a variety of authentic Vietnamese meals. My meal is was prepared perfectly and was enjoyable to eat. It is not a fancu restaurant. There are no tablecloths or exotic decorations, and they dont take credit cards, just cash or debit. It is good value for money.

Amazing food and overall great place to eat. Owner is hilarious and such a joy to be around

Good flavour, poor value for money. Micro-tomed sashimi. Expect a 50% surcharge beyond normal.

Amazing food!!!

Great staff and food

Was okay

The quality, taste, and freshness of ingredients are second to none on the island and beyond. There is a reason we have continued to come back here time after time for years. The staff has always been friendly and do their best to make your dinning experience pleasant. Highly recommend

Great food and service. Every Time.

Super hopeful. Super hungry. Ordered our stuff and ready to eat. Good looking bento and I m trying the pho. We shall see.

The food is so good. Flavorful, cooked to perfection. I loved every bite. Reasonable prices, fast and friendly service, handy location right downtown. Ill be back again for sure.

Great sushi, great meal!

good food, good people

Great place with excellent food.

I ve been going here since I was a little kid. The staff is great always super friendly. They introduced a young boy to so many different kinds of sushi instead of just California rolls

Great selection, fresh ingredients, reasonably priced menu.

Loved the food

Best sushi in Duncan. Great service.

Best sushi in town!

What a gem! Best pho ever - no MSG - made traditionally by Mom Trang. Sushi was so high quality - rice was perfect, still a bit warm, tempura cooked fresh to perfection. Highly recommend and wish I lived in Duncan!

One waitress with puzzling personality. Frustrating when is busy.

Great sushi. Great service. Love the Pho Satay

I had a wonderful dining experience at Nha Trang

The WORST restaurant i have been to in BC. I will rate ZERO star if i can. There is a vietnam woman who acts like a manager, she was being very rude to us once we entered the restaurant. First, she asked if we were from an asian tour and indicated that their restaurant is not fast food restautant so we may want to change a place to eat. Then i explained that me and my parents and my boyfriend are on our driving trip from Victoria. After that, we waited about 25 mins for four bowls of pho noodle soup and no one ever came to ask if we were doing well with the food. When i wanted to pay the bills, i noticed she just added 15% tips by herself and the reason was that some asians dont pay her tips? EXCUSE ME?? This is my first time having meal in Duncan, i was so damn surprised by her attitude and the way she discriminate asian people.

fav sushi spot in town. We live overseas and always make a point of eating here when back home visting family.

The best Sushi on the Island. Ive eaten at Sushi places from James Bay up to Campbell River, and a lot of them, but Nha Trang crushes them all. The rice is phenomenal and makes for a perfect bed for the fresh ingredients to come through. Ask about some of the rolls not on the menu, especially the Firecracker roll!

We love this place, its our favourite!

Arguably the best sushi in Duncan

Great food

Horrible restaurant

On the table smells bad.

A place where you can order and eat sushi rolls together with Vietnamese food. The lunch box is delicious ^^

Nice experience to go there are you the food is awesome people are really good as well. Go there if you want to have a nice relaxing lunch or dinner

Best rolls (maki) in duncan plus Vietnamese dishs.. good beer. If you like sushi this is the best place.

Great food

So good

service was slow that day. very crowded

Best sushi in Duncan , best service I ve ever had

Love the place!

Best sushi in town. Very high quality. Pho is amazing too!

I have yet to bring someone into Nha Trangs who did not leave convinced they experienced the best sushi ever. Absolutely brilliant, hilarious host. Best rolls? Dynamite, Oyster, Baked Crab.

You can always count on the food here being fantastic!

Best sushi Ive ever had.A bit more expensive than others but worth it.

Great atmosphere. Quiet little place tucked away . First time here, we found it by strolling around. Only disappointment is there payment machine was down so we had to walk down road to get cash.

The tempura prawns & veggies were the best I have ever had! I highly recommend them.

Best sushi and Vietnamese food.

Went there for sushi definitely worth the visit. Very fresh great menu and good prices.

Best sushi.. friendly staff.

Excellent food. Nice people. Friendly service

I eat here as often as time permits and love It. You definitely wouldnt be disappointed by going. You can make reservations or walk in oh, and be sure and read the menu carefully to make a decision that fills your belly with a smile on your face!

Sooooo goooooood!

Very friendly staff. Fresh sashimi, rolls and nigiri. The miso and tuna tataki are slightly different than traditional Japanese dishes but are very good. I agree the Tuna Attack is the best roll (not on the menu so be sure to remember to ask for it). I will absolutely be back to try other menu options.

Food sucked prices sucked

extremely arrogant and rude staff. This is your typical tourist asian restaurant. If you have food allergies this is not the place to dine because they couldnt care less if you get sick from their food.

I love the atmosphere nestled in historic downtown Duncan. After a 14 hr shift I stopped in for a cilantro martini. The drink was was perfectly balanced, with a sweet saltiness that hit my pallet very well. The rim added a slight spice to cocktail that awoken my senses without over powering the firm cilantro body of the drink. However, the real pleasure of my visit was the owner. Her confidence and service was top notch. I would have to say that her personality and whit was my favourite part of the evening. Making everyone feel as if we were one of the family. I will be recommending Nha Trang Maki Sushi house to fellow diners.

Fantastic Vietnamese cuisine, friendly staff and great atmosphere. The food was excellent (noodle dish and spicy hotpot).

Friendly staff. Quiet environment compared with the other one serving Chinese tourists. Food is great!

Fabulous time. Great, fun service.

Best pho in town...love the friendly service and awesome food

Great Won Ton soup and very friendly service.

Awesome sushi and other Vietnamese food. Great service and very clean. Prices are average.

Great service, tasty food!

Very well could be the best sushi on the island.

Awesome food & delightful service!!
