First time here, first time in Fort St. John and I was extremely impressed by this place! The sushi was so great! Tasty, fresh, huge portions and very quick and friendly service! In love with this place. Highly recommend!

Rolls were fresh and prepared quickly. The Miso soup is twice as large as anywhere else I've ever been. The tempura was fresh on the inside and nice and crispy on the exterior. The service was fantastic too. The staff were friendly and attentive, and they were happy to answer my questions about the menu. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner.

Hole in the wall sushi place right by Dollar Tree and No Frills. My entire meal was $30 including tip. The takoyaki, salmon and tuna maki were surprisingly delicious. The yam tempura roll however, was dry and flavourless. I did find it to be a weird concept that you had to order up front and pay for your meal, then you could find a seat to enjoy it afterwards. Felt more like a fast food joint setup than an actual restaurant. Overall, decent lunch experience.

Let's face it, this isn't a fancy restaurant. But it is way better than Q Spot. Sacrifice some atmosphere for better quality food. The sushi was ready quickly, and it hit the spot for that sushi craving. Decent prices too.

★★★★

The nigiris were not bad, pretty good. However, the BC roll was not the BC roll I used to know. The fish inside of the roll should be salmon, but It was more like Korean canned tuna. It was a bit disappointing. Staffs were kind though.

★★★

A bit confusing. They expect you to know, that when you come, you don't sit but order, as they don't explain nothing. We seated ourselves for a good 5-8 mins, not knowing that nobody would approach us with a menu. They don't really offer water, unless asked. And even so, they don't refill the glass. Unagi donburi needed more sauce, udon needed more flavor. Sushi were great tho!

How can I start! I was skeptical, I am in Fort St. John, far from my Edmonton home. Sushi would be the last place I would try in a remote area. This place proved me wrong. The place is literally a hole in the wall with great food. The restaurant is nice, cozy, very clean and nice seats. The food menu is packed with great choices. You can see the guys doing the food for you and are really friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone passing through this area. The sashimi was clean and fresh. The Fort St. John roll is a hit and you must try. If you like simple the California rolls were nicely done. On a cool day like today the miso soup was on point and pleasant to have. Let me know what you think. Until the next review and keep on eating. #chicosreviews76

This is some of the worst sushi Ive ever had in my life. People who praise this - I don t even want to know what kind of sushi you think was bad if this one sucks and you re praising it... I just feel sorry for you people that you have to eat such crap and you can t try good sushi.

Amazing food taste and quality. Sashimi was better than Edmonton, and better value. Theyve got some great dishes for (nowadays) cheap. Hole in the wall atmosphere, they bring food out as its finished so its as fresh as can be. Bottomless green tea in go cups for $1 really seals the deal. Will be back soon.

Lovely staff, subpar selection of rolls, good selection of nigiri. Food was decent but didnt wow me. Not sure how it can be compared to sushi and rolls in the metro Vancouver area though. Definitely does not shine a light to it but matching freshness and quality to a massive city, almost minutes from the ocean no matter where you are with a HUGE Asian population whose restaurants often have a specific style is an unfair comparison to say the least.

Excellent! Very fresh, good portions & quick service.

December 22, 2022

Very poor quality, we ordered a miso soup (which tasted like dish wash water) and a beef teriyaki, which was so SALTY that I don t think I ve ever tasted anything that salty in my life! Avoid this place by all means!

December 22, 2022

You have to pay for everything before you order which was kind of silly. You have a tip option based on not knowing what service you will receive?? The sushi was subpar and the bathroom doors were stained with dirt by the handles as if they have never seen a rag. I was sick immediately after I ate here.

Even Edo japan has better sushi. This place is overpriced and the sushi is nasty.

Thank you for the delicious food. Being from out of town, I wasn t aware of the protocol to order from the counter. I came in, sat down, and waited for 5 minutes to be served. Once I exclaimed are you guys open? I was told how it works!! I then ordered the recommendation by the staff, and it came delivered to my table. The food was finely-crafted, tasted great, and the service was excellent. Thanks again!
