Arigato Sushi is a fusion sushi restaurant. We serve fusion sushi without changing the recipe. We strive to serve the best food for our customers.
I had a lunch with a friend today there and for sure they offer best sushi 🍣 and Korean food 🥘 in town with a friendly and welcoming staff. Loving their newly renovated dining area which makes it so much brighter and spacious.
The food at Arigato Sushi is outstanding, and I highly recommend trying the Red Tofu and YamiYami Roll. However, the service experience left room for improvement. While ordering, I felt rushed by the server, who repeatedly asked, “Is that everything?” before I could even finish speaking. This made me feel as if I was ordering excessively, even though my order included just a roll, soup, and a half-order of tempura—standard for a single adult dinner. Additionally, the server attempted to clear my plate when I still had about 25% of my meal remaining, making me wonder if I was taking up the table for too long. My entire visit, from the time I was seated to when I left, lasted only 50 minutes. While the food is excellent, Arigato Sushi could benefit from more attentive and considerate service.
The restaurant was good, foods are god except salmon sashimi. It looks not fresh , feel like its frozen salmon. Especially server was so friendly and kind.
Arigato Sushi offers the best vegetarian and vegan options in Kamloops! Their Green Island Roll, Spicy Eggplant Agedashi, and Asparagus Gomae are absolute must-tries. The flavors are fresh and vibrant. On top of that, the service was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and quick. Highly recommend!
First time here, nice ambiance, friendly staff, fast service. Yummy sashimi and good amount of food. Clean bathroom. Keep it up. Appreciate it 🙏🏻
Very welcoming and friendly service, the food is absolutely delicious. Love the salmon, tuna poke. Great quality and sizes. Definitely recommend coming here.
Arigato has been our go to place for soosh in Kamloops for many years. It is a family favourite. The rolls are fresh, appealing to the eye and always super delicious. On a recent visit we noticed they expanded the restaurant in size. Always awesome. Thanks
September 1 2024 Still a great dining experience. Miso soup is still amazing, large portions, and quality ingredients. Fantastic sushi experience that deserves it's high ratings. Warm comfortable atmosphere, friendly staff, and top quality ingredients. They have the best miso soup I've ever tried in my life and everything else was awesome as well. The fish was very fresh and the serving sizes are large enough to satisfy without breaking the bank. I can't wait to come back again.
Ate here tonight and it was the best sushi! Had gluten free soy sauce and a clearly marked menu for GF. Highly recommend this place! Dietary restrictions: Celiac Gluten Free
Get food, great service and a great place for a family dinner. Our family enjoys this restaurant. Food : 5/5
Came in with my two young kiddos for takeout . Kind staff and the food was amazing!!! My kids LOVED the tofu teriyaki , normally they don t like tofu! Every item we got was so delicious . Thanks!!!!
Along with the new renovation, the food at this location has majorly levelled up. I consider this one of the best sushi restaurants in Kamloops. The portion sizes of the sashimi are ridiculously large and extraordinarily fresh. If you re someone who believes the sushi and Kamloops is subpar, you haven t been to this location since the makeover. Stellar value. We are fortunate to have a restaurant of this quality in this city.
Awesome time, awesome food, awesome people. Anything on the special rolls menu is awesome
Fabulous food
Very good food and great service but was a little rushed when ordering.
We had dinner with the whole family, we really enjoyed it, the staff were nice.
The food was excellent...I recommend!
Food was good but the server dumped hot miso soup on my boyfriend and didn t apologize at the end or offer to buy his pop, food or anything. He s lucky he isn t seriously burned.
Amazing food, service and atmosphere.
Im originally from Kamloops and live in Vancouver now where Im spoiled with all the options for amazing Asian and Japanese cuisine and every time I go home to visit family I always make sure I stop by here. Great atmosphere. Amazing food. Awesome portion size and fair prices. The owners are so warm and friendly and always remember me when I come in, even if its been a few months. I definitely recommend this place and I will definitely keep coming back. Thanks for everything!!!! Update: Back for a visit in 2024. Ordered take out for my family of 16. They got the pick up time dialed and the food was amazing, service was great as usual. I ll keep coming back!!! Thanks guys!!!
Japanese beer on tap was a real treat. Tried Oshi unagi was a real treat highly recommended.
Yummy food. Sushi and sashimis on point. We always make sure to eat there whenever we visit Kamloops for tournaments. Highly recommended!!
Update November 2024 THANK YOU for the most amazing birthday lunch!! First time dining inside; such a comfy cozy spot. Absolutely delicious food and excellent service! I am a Spicy Agedashi Eggplant addict now! We have ordered large take out orders quite a few times now and the sushi is not only very delicious but always presented beautifully in the environmentally friendly takeout boxes, rolls are very generous in size and unique unlike other places, and everything is fresh and colourful. Customer service is always friendly, quick, and attentive. The menu is the best most creative sushi menu in Kamloops. Arigato in Aberdeen is also very generous with their wasabi, pickled ginger, soy sauce and chopsticks. Easy parking. During a very busy Canada Day weekend we had glitches with our order. The owner, Mr Yu contacted me immediately and handled the situation very kindly and generously all restaurants can make a mistake especially during busy times, and it is when they fix the issue right away with kindness and class that shows how professional and dedicated to great quality and service they are. I was highly impressed. Already craving sushi again. Looking forward to yet another great meal here! Vegetarian options: Tons of choices! Wheelchair accessibility: Simple
Came in last week on the way back to Vancouver. Great portions food wise
Why should you stay at least one night in Kamlops? Because there is a restaurant called Arigato Sushi ~~ I stopped by on the way from Banfu to Vancouver. I missed Japanese and Korean food. I usually enjoy eating Japanese sashimi. The salmon and tuna here were really different. The thickness is three times that of a regular restaurant. Triple the freshness and flavor In particular, unlike the typical yellow farmed salmon, bright red wild salmon was a new experience for us. I cant forget the smell when I bite into a single leaf of tuna tataki. The restaurant was clean and the food was so good that I had a chance to meet the owner in person and ask questions. The young owner majored in hotel management in the United States. Customers come to enjoy delicious food let s focus only on this. It must be fresh, the quantity must be plentiful, and the taste must be excellent~~ This is why it was continuously selected as the best restaurant last year and this year. If youre staying at least one night in Kamlops, be sure to stop by. You will never regret it~~
Weve been a few times now and we absolutely love the food and terrific staff. Great place Parking: Parking is in a big mall lot. Tons of parking.
Exceptional service. Comfortable atmosphere. Superb suishi.
Got here at 5:30pm and the place was already almost packed. Food was great and the cooks are actually Japanese
Always the best service! Always the best Food! Never leave not satisfied! Thanks Ian & Mike and the rest of your crew! Always an Amazing Job!
Best sushi in kamloops! Been a loyal guest for years now & have never once had an issue of any kind whether take out or dine in. Love this place!
Best in kamloops
Excellent quality. The best Sushi I have had in Kamloops. Its worth it.
Fantastic food, seafood udon is exceptional.
Great food as always. Dietary restrictions: Celiac, I am always supplied gluten free soy sauce and any gluten items on a dish I am told about and are kept off. Food : 5/5 |
Delicous, fresh sushi!
First time here and it was ! Had the tofu dish and the veggie tempura
I usually enjoy arigatos but I ordered the wrong dish last visit. Bacon terriyaki was gross. But everyone else enjoyed their more classic meals.
Friendly and fast service at Arigato Sushi. Staff are great, and the spicy pork bulgogi dish is great, (although very spicy!) Definitely would recommend checking this spot out.
I stopped by this place while staying one day on my way to Banff, and it exceeded my expectations. Not only the rolls, but I forgot to take a picture, the soft tofu stew and stone pot bibimbap were also delicious. I was grateful for the taste of home in a faraway place! Parking: Its enough
I d say above average quality sushi. Nice staff, I was happy! Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible Food : 5/5 |
Found it to be a little overpriced, did not find the 2 rolls I had very flavorful, quite on the dry side. On the other hand the spicey agadshi tofu was wonderful!
Staff were nice, restaurant s noise level was low, and food was great. Very spacious within the establishment.
This is the best place in Canada I ever had sushi .They are busy you have to wait for a table at times but the answer to that is go in and order to go and its ready in no time and they make great sushi and the ONLY place in Canada that I know of you can get TRU roll which is my favorite .Named after the University by the way .
Love, love, love the food but the new open seating sucks. Bring back the booths. Thats why we chose there over other places.
Parking: Lots of parking Recommended dishes
Its very convenient next to the interchange. I recommend this restaurant if you want to drink hot soup and eat delicious Japanese or Korean cuisine! The Korean tofu hot pot is very delicious, and the udon and tempura are also delicious
I was in Kamloops for an overnight. I dont want to give away secret restaurant hot spots in Kamloops but... This place is fantastic. My family and I stumbled across it by accident while waiting for our car to be repaired and had lunch there. The food and service was terrific. The servers were looking out for us, and the food was delicious. If you like sushi and youre in Kamloops, go here. You wont be disappointed.
So fresh and delicious !
My husband, two girls and I went out for dinner in Kamloops (were from out of town). After we left and were getting in our vehicle one of the staff members came running out and asked if I made a mistake on the tip, I told him no thats what we meant to tip. Thank you for a great dinner tonight. Every time we go its great service, the staff members are amazing and the food is always good. Arigato is definitely one of the favourite restaurants in Kamloops. They also updated the inside since we were last there and it looks fabulous.
Awesome experience! We were driving thru Kamloops and wanted something other than fast food. Found this place with a Google search and I m so glad I did! Food was delicious and atmosphere was family friendly!
Delicious as always!
Food is really and surprisingly good!
Great place for sushi with an authentic atmosphere. Large portions and great prices.
Great place, low price. Good sushi and udon. I highly recommend it.
$10 FOR ICE CREAM???? MY INITIAL REACTION WAS WOW, THATS EXPENSIVE! BUT LOOK AT WHAT I GOT! Food
Food is always amazing
Awesome sushi. Good value. Would recommend
Food and service was great. Could do with air-conditioning though as it was a bit warm.
Sat for 10 mins with no service, not even water, very disappointed as this was my fav place. O Sushi by tru has a robot to deliver your food go there instead
The food was amazing. The tempura was so fresh and crispy. We went with my colleague from work. It was amazing. Also loved the bacon roll. Will definitely come back !!
Im not someone that eats sushi but brought my son in one evening and after looking at the menu I saw something that appealed to me. It was the garlic chicken roll. I dont like fish so I bought this. It was delicious. Cant wait to go back and order it again. I hope many people enjoy this so that it stays on the menu.
Yam roll was about 4hrs old and tasted awful. Agadashi was cold. Slow service. Wanted to love, but it was just not great.
Great sushi place with some authentic Japanese seating options and a tasty menu! We love their deep-fried rolls and Korean hot dishes.
Food is okay but not consistent. For example, different portions of ingredients depending on your roll (while eating from the same roll). If you re craving sushi in the area this place works. It s very loud and busy (which is good for ppl who enjoy this type of atmosphere). It could also be because it was close to dinner rush? I asked for extra wasabi and sauce to dip my tempera in and was told I d have to pay an extra $3. Eek. Reception area is not the greatest either, dark, hidden, small and in the corner of where the entry doors open.
Always great food and service.
Pretty good. Some sauces are a little sweet.
Really shocked to find a good Sushi restaurant in Kamloops while travelling through . Huge menu with a big selection of custom rolls . Had the bento box and ate the whole thing . Service was top shelf and food was served fast. I would recommend this for anyone Living in Kamloops but also anyone passing through looking for a quality Japanese food experience.
First time dining with friends at this location. We ordered bento boxes, udons, rolls, sushi, and sashimi to try. An assortment. The bento boxes were nice as they had a little bit of everything.
Such good sushi
Found my sushi place in Kamloops! So delicious! Food
My favourite sushi place in Kamloops. Quick, friendly service. Great sushi.
Always great fresh food. Every order is correct. Only ever had take out.
Really like the decor and atmosphere. Quick efficient service. Food was all delicious and great portions. Parking: Lots of spots to park right outside the door. Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible - flat entranceway to access seating
Best sushi Ive had in all of BC.
Great place for sushi! Fresh ingredients and attentive restaurant staff makes for a great experience! Vegetarian options: Good selection of vegetarian options to choose
Nicely prepared Sashimi.
My go to for sushi anytime passing through Kamloops. Some of the best sushi around!
Accommodating and informative with the menu, very reasonable prices as well. I would definitely recommend it and we will also be going back again.
Ian is a delight, amazing food and atmosphere. best sushi in town hands down.
So disappointed today. I have been dining there for many years. Today I came in for a quick bite. I was sat down around 11:20am. By 11:35 it was obvious I had been forgotten. No one came by to offer me a drink or even take my order. At that point I wasnt gonna have time to have my order taken, wait for the food and eat. I watched other people get their orders. Thats when I got up and just walked out. No one even noticed me walking out the door. It wasnt even busy. So yeah, extremely disappointed.
%100 improvement, customer service was hurting for awhile but this visit we found a night and day difference. Arigato has absolutely no competition in Kamloops! Food
Busy place, and thats a very good thing! The orders are up quick, and oh so delicious. My favorite sushi restaurant ever! They have revamped their menu to include more yummy items. Highly recommended, and urge you to try this restaurant.
The food is very delicious, the sashimi is very fresh, and the fried udon noodles are recommended
Always great!
Great food and service. Prices can be a bit high though
Everything could be better , pretty average all the way around.
We always stop here on our way through Kamloops and have never been disappointed! Great, fresh food and friendly service.
Very very good, will come back.
Ambience is wonderful. Food is fantastic. Service by Fiona was beyond amazing. However, the waiting time for food is an hour. I hope they notice this and improve their serving time.
Honestly the food was terrible. The raw fish I ordered was so fishy, tasted like the way canned tuna tastes and dont get me wrong I love sushi, raw fish specifically but this was completely inedible. The service is good and I like the atmosphere but the food left me feeling nauseas. Ive eaten here four times in the past and had nothing against it until now the food was just off.
Amazing amazing sushi and Korean restaurant!! The sashimi was super fresh and the service was excellent. I recommend flounder sashimi to Koreans. The owner brought it directly from Jeju Island!
Great portion! big piece of sashimi!!
Best sushi in Kamloops. Fast service, great staff, excellent food and a constantly updating menu. Definitely recommend.
Food is super good and consistent. Been many times and will continue as its delicious and quick! It could use a bit of updating, but other than that, its amazing!
Really good food
Recently I decided to go back to try this place again, and I love it.
update: Me and my friend received an eye roll from the server bc the 10% tip that we gave to her I guess the place is too fancy for us to dine in 4.5 great sushi We ordered sushi, beef rib and beef donburi There was veggie which was not fresh, they remade it for us.
Normally good. Today sucked. New waitress barely sat us at a table. Just threw the menu down and walked away with nothing. No plates for my son so hes eatingboff a napkin tried getting waitress attention many times. Left without eating. Wish i hadnt paid. Wont be back. Food
Food is good. Service has always been standoffish and lacks friendliness. Could be the business or the way the restaurant treats the employees?. They are fast and efficient though.
One of my favorite restaurants is Arigato Sushi. Recently, my wife and I lunch there and enjoyed their delicious Hedupbob and Vege Udong. The fresh sashimi in the hedupbob was especially tasty and fresh. The only inconvenience was that the white neon sign was not always displayed, so we had to check at the front entrance to ensure they were open. Despite this minor issue, the overall experience was enjoyable.
Good food and good customer service. The staff was very friendly. There are plenty of options. We tried Tuna Poke Special Roll and Chicken Yakisoba. Good portion size and food were tasty. Highly recommend. They have a large variety of sushi rolls. You need to discuss to find out which ones are their best ones.
So yummy!! Even with the Covid rules in place we ate this in the car which made it even more memorable but I m sure the sit down experience would be wonderful too. The salmon and tuna Sashimi were to die for! My favourite role was the Red Wave but the spider role and Snow White were a close second and third! Thank you!! Just came here again!! We always stop by here when passing through. Same frivolities as above!! Especially the snowshoes this time. Also tried the rocky mountain roll and it was next level! Sashimi chunks never disappoint!
Always good sushi here. Crazy boy roll all the way! Had crazy California and skinny spicy yam roll this time.
We highly recommend this restaurant. The food was scrumptious and the service was great. The volcano roll was a huge hit, as well as the tuna sashimi.
Food is always great and fresh. Nice selection of gluten free options. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Food : 5/5 |
Fresh and delicious food served in a fine fine atmosphere. Worth a visit.
Super high quality and extremely tasty sushi. Some of the best salmon and tuna sashimi I ve ever had and absolutely massive pieces. Hard to comprehend how good this sushi was in Kamloops of all places sitting in a parking lot in the middle of another COVID lockdown. Happy travelers! Back again mind blown again. Will be back
The portions exceeded my expectations! Fish was fresh and service was friendly! We were traveling through but we ll likely stop by every time we re in town!
Great place. I always stop by when visiting or working in Kamloops.
Very delicious and well priced for what you get , when I did go back , it been 4 months the prices did go up so I was surprised how much Parking: Parking lot
Me & my buddy were just passing by from kamloops I have to say this place is mind blowing good.... Very very good sushi and big variety Everything we tried was fantastic Highly recommended !
Bento box and Kani sticks. Awesome
Great place when hungry for Sushi
Always great service and awesome food. Always a place my family and I want to visit when were in town.
Oh my god the fish was raw lol. Very good here yup.
Awesome maki rolls, and food in general, with quick and effective service. Special mention to the Tempura which includes a wide variety of veggies all of which were amazing. Plus good value and price.
Always great sushi here. It was busy, but they still forgot to give us chop sticks and napkins.
Food was great and the portion was generous. Nice to have Asahi beer with the delicious sushi dinner. Love it.
One of my favorite sushi spots in the city. Great food, reasonably priced, and really good variety on the menu. The portions are also great.
Hands down, the best sushi and service in Kamloops.
If you like sushi and are in Kamloops this is a must go fantastic food and great service
It was a good sushi experience
Always enjoy sushi!
Nice sushi and Korean cuisine
Best sushi place in BC, and they have upped their game again. I highly recommend this Arigato Sushi.
Great food as always. Will always comeback.
Ordered take out sushi from this location while doing a road trip. It was very good. The avocado and fish were so fresh!
The food was good, average. Nothing super special about this place but ok for a quick lunch. Prices were fine.
Very good shusi but quite expensive I get it s shusi but still would recommend going great service and amazing food
What an experience!!!!
Very nice and helpful folks.
We were a group of 8. Seating was a bit tight, but the food... Excellent sushi! Attractive. Highly recommend the Dragon Roll, Snow White Roll and the Hot Mess. The Hot Mess is to DIE for! Coming from Montreal where there are aome extraordinary sushi places, I was impressed. Vegetarian options: Some excellent vegetarian options.
Great sushi spot and when you crave bibimbap
Fantastic sushi! We moved from the west coast and were nervous we wouldn t find great sushi here but man we were wrong! Fantastic selection, wonderful service and delicious food.
So yummy :)
Made a reservation as it was Sunday long weekend. We really enjoyed our meal. Large portions. I had rocky mountain roll and rock n roll. A little hot as described but very tasty. I would recommend.
Its really delicious here!! Be sure to go to Arigato Sushi , not Sushi Arigato~!! The owner was very kind and I was really impressed with the food May you prosper Parking: Its spacious! Wheelchair accessibility: well!
I visited because the reviews were good. As expected, I am satisfied with the food quality, location comfort, and service. The owner is also very kind:-)
Im impressed! Its very tasty, the tuna is simply divine, and the portions are so big! The waitresses are very nice and pleasant, the service is top notch! Many thanks to all the staff! I definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone
Amazing food and great service. Korean and Japanese Style at it s Best. First of all, all the food we ordered was very delicious. My child likes ribs, so I ordered it, and he gave it a thumbs up. The fried food was so delicious, and the veggie udon I ordered was crunchy, clean, and hot, so it relieved the fatigue of the trip. I happened to visit this place on my way to Banff, and it was better than any other sushi restaurant I had in Vancouver. Additionally, the staff were very friendly, and the space was partitioned, so it was nice to have a meal in privacy. If I get the chance, I definitely want to visit again! :)
Amazing servers
A++++++ food, service, atmosphere. All top notch. Easy access parking lot!
I ordered three separate rolls for pickup and they all came in one container which we can work around. But, I dont understand why there was only two chopsticks and two wasabi/ginger containers? Three rolls for three people that have to share chopsticks and condiments? While I love the food, some times they confuse me on how they do math.
Have several certificates of excellence, and for a very good reason. A must try if you are a sushi lover
Wonderful sushi and meal
the food was top tier delicious
Stellar establishment. Prompt, professional and friendly staff, exceptional food and quality ingredients. Eat here routinely and have never been disappointed in any regard, dine in or take-out. Food
Took a while to get attention from the waiters, who were very nice but rushed. The food tasted good, but the sashimi was the laziest Ive ever seen, if you can call them sashimis. It took me three big bites to get through each piece. In Japanese cuisine the food is supposed to be bite-sized, theres no knife on the table. Also, not the tastiest fish Ive eaten. Maybe stick to sushis if you go there.
Always delicious and fresh. Very good value for money. Service excellent and friendly! Highly recommend.
Amazing restaurant, one of the best Japanese restaurant!!! I love the fact that we get 10% off for take out!
The chicken teriyaki flavour was off the rice was dry and crunchy. That was my go too. The roll I ordered had a burnt flavour. The wife said that last time she was there the food was off. Maybe new cooks since the menu changed.
Fresh, fast, delicious
Best sushi spot in Kamloops hands down.
Service was poor, our server was wearing perfume, yuck. I d rather smell my food thanks! Ordered something on the menu. Have had it at other places. We didn t like it. Omg the manager made such a big deal we paid for our bill on the other stuff we had and walked out!!! Won t go back!
Very average sushi. Very fast and friendly service though, so good for passing through if youre in a hurry.
Not as hyped up as it s made out to be by the reviews, it s an average sushi place, if I had to pick between Sushi Valley and Arigato, I d pick Sushi Valley any day of the week.
Sushi was great here, the california roll with yam tempera wasnt as fresh as the other rolls but they took it off the bill without a problem. All the rolls were much bigger than I had anticipated so make sure your eyes arnt bigger than your stomach! Seating was a bit tight but otherwise great place for sushi.
Has been here twice, food is tasty! (Hotate is so good! better than amaebi :)
They had the most amazingly flavorful miso soup I have ever tasted! The rest of the meal was beyond fabulous! Our server, he was just the icing on the cake for our dining experience!!! We are from Kelowna. However, I will be dining here when in Kamloops again. Until then, I will be recommending this delightful, surprisingly yummy spot to others. :)
Firstly, its the prettiest food Ive ordered around the Okanagan! Delicious. The Flavours were unique to their restaurant. The food was amazing. So many choices for rolls. The spicy seafood had so much seafood in it. It was a spicy ocean of deliciousness! I love the pink lady roll. The chicken udon was a good combination of sweet and spices. The chicken was good, didnt taste processed, was real meat with real grill lines.
Love this spot! The Philadelphia roll is amazing and my favorite in the town, and the vibe is just right relaxed yet polished. Great food, great atmosphere. Definitely recommend making the drive!
Food is amazing and the crew has great suggestions.
Absolutely delicious sashimi! The fish was so fresh and the presentation beautiful. I highly recommend this sushi if youre in the area
