Friendly & Attentive Service. Dine On Sensational Sushi At Our Restaurant Arigato Sushi Valleyview - At Our Restaurant We Serve Elegant & Delicious Sushi For You.
The best sushi in Kamloops and surrounding areas! Always friendly and welcoming. I drive 1.5 hours to come for lunch here. I always recommend this place. Thank you for such wonderful service & delicious food! ❤️🫰❤️
There is a fair amount of free parking outside. The floor was slippery when I walked in, and I almost fell twice, otherwise the restaurant looked inviting and clean. Everything was packaged nicely for take-out and presentation was very nice. The staff was quick to help me at the till and were very friendly. I ordered the bacon sushi wrap—it was okay, but a bit lacking in flavor, though it was very filling. The sauce on the chicken karaage was good, and the chicken itself was well-cooked—juicy and tender. It also reheats well in the oven. The teriyaki bowl was pretty basic—not the best I’ve had, but still decent. The miso soup, however, was a bit of a letdown. It had a nice color but very light flavor, with less then a teaspoon of tofu, seaweed, and green onions. It was basically just a lightly flavored broth. Overall, it was ok but it's not screaming for a return visit.
My mom who “doesn't like sushi” loved this place and the delicious sushi they made for us. Would highly recommend the fisherman roll… it was a delicious, thick sliced roll, chock full of fresh fish. Even my mom LOVED it, and she is turned off by the idea of raw fish. Very well done and I would highly recommend this establishment
The food here is delicious. Very fresh and amazing presentation. I had the salmon and tuna sashimi. The portions were the largest I’ve ever had. They use sockeye salmon which I’ve never tried before and now I prefer it over Atlantic. I’m definitely coming back to try more items on the menu. The beef teriyaki is huge!
Great place, the staff is helpful and friendly. The menu has alot of options and was good value. I was impressed with the sizes of the Sashimi, definitely more than I was expecting. Definitely recommend stopping in there if you get a chance.
Good sushi and anything else I've tried. Always very friendly service. They sat us in a closed-in booth for my bday lunch and really enjoyed the privacy. Lovely servers and the portions are amazing. I have ordered out from here several times and it is not as good of portions or quality as when you sit in (that is why 4 stars). Strongly recommended for a meal out. (4.5 stars) And decent for takeaway. (3.5 stars) You get 10% off for pick up. They package everything very well. *Don't get the Lobster Roll - as beautiful as it is, it is WAY over cooked (rubber texture + tried two different times). Second picture is Veggie Sunomono - huge portion and delicious!
It’s a good restaurant to visit. We enjoyed the lunch and overall experience there was good. The best dish was the tempura shrimp. Only one thing that the rice was kind of mushy (overcooked) but don’t get me wrong it’s tasty
Lovely restaurant with friendly and prompt staff, peaceful atmosphere, and comfortable seating. Food came out very fast with lovely plating! Their miso soup is delicious, containing more ingredients than standard. The monkey brain was much better than I had imagined. Nice crunch and flavorful sauce and filling. A must appetizer to try! 😊 The spicy tuna salmon sashimi was very fresh with tasty flavor and cuts. The snow white roll was beautiful and delicious as well. And lastly, bento A was filling and well made. Combo C Bento is our favorite. It has fresh sashimi and great varieties. The lobster roll was a large plate with mango and beets salad with crunchy spider crabs. Yum. The paradise mango roll had deliciously sweet mangoes. One of my favorite dishes.
Excellent choices on menue and quick service!
Great service and good consistent Japanese food.
Kani sticks and bento box. Cant go wrong. Parking: Many spots right in front. Never an issue Food : 5/5 |
Delicious sushi
Cozy spot, very welcoming, comfy seating, nice calming lighting. We ordered a monkey brain (incredible), oyster tempura (amazing), ebi sunomono salad (gorgeous!), roll maki combo, a vegetarian bento box (tofu & veg teriyaki, avocado salad, light as air vegetable tempura, rice, 6 piece vegetable roll), avocado roll, miso soup (delicious), a piece of Ikura, a Crispy roll, Tempura Roll and Jalapeño King roll (new roll amazing). Absolutely everything was EXCELLENT. Large portions, very generous wasabi & pickled ginger. Couldnt find one thing negative and we are picky lol!! . Waiter was great and owner so sweet! Our new very favourite Japanese restaurant!! I only wish I would have taken photos so you could all see how beautiful everything was presented. Vegetarian options: Many!!!
Very good food. Prices are a little high on some items though
Ordered online, had the butterfly roll, spicy tuna roll and unagi roll. Was given very little wasabi and soy sauce to go with my order, more shrinkflation. It was ok, wouldn t go back but it wasn t inedible
Feels like eating at a Korean restaurant
The only place we order sushi from. Great atmosphere, family run and top quality.
We love this Sushi place! Every time we pass through Kamloops we make it a must to stop here. Food is so fresh and delicious. Amazing portions and size for the price. Owners and staff are very kind and friendly. One of the best
Excellent food. Great service. Pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommend .
If you have a craving for great sushi, this is the best place to go. The staff were very friendly, atmosphere was welcoming and clean. The food was amazing, I even had little happy dance while I ate (chicken teriyaki and a Philadelphia roll)it was that good. Would definitely recommend for great food at an affordable cost.
Free ice water Vegetarian options: Good vegan options. I got the vegan bento box. Parking: Good parking.
Whenever we come to kamloops, we make sure to hit up this gem. Great food and amazing service. If you like Sushi this is the place to go!
After a round of golf, I went to have dinner. Friendly owner and delicious food.. I ate so much that I feel like my stomach will explode^^ When taking your order, please kindly ask how spicy you want it to be, salty or less salty, etc. And when the food is served, you will also be given some refreshing cabbage kimchi. It was my first time traveling to Canada, and it was so delicious that I wondered how many restaurants in Korea would offer such delicious food.
Some of the best sushi I ve tried. Staff were super friendly. We loved it.
The restaurant is whatvid expect from a dinner along the highway. Busy people so service is a little lacking. Atmosphere is also as expected. But the food. That was great. All the rolls you would expect, but also small variations that make the really good. Great job on that realy good food.
Best service. Best sushi. Best experience every single time.
Just stop by on the way home from the Bannf to Seattle for the 2nd time ( the 1st time is in 2014 which it pretty decent sushi quality) And the 2nd is earlier April and the quality went down I stop by to get lunch , we order sashimi salad , couple rolls and cirashi couple of the fish is not fresh , fishy taste and the sashimi salad is they use tilapia for the white fish and the condition that fish is already at least 2 days in the refrigerator ( tilapia is not for sushi , especially for sashimi) I am sushi chef for the more than 15 yr so i know what i eat and what i talking about , i thought the ownership have been change I mean the service is good and the food came fast but the quality just so so
I usually only rate when food is great or terrible. I understand its busy, so I dont understand why my agadashi was cold and undercooked. They replaced it. We were short chopsticks, napkins, soy sauce dishes. I had to get them off another table. Then the yam roll, it looked and tasted as is it were 4hrs old. I didnt want to complain again but wish I did. I forgot to take pics, was trying to be present with my family and be grateful, but I would not return here and wish I didnt pay for that yam roll. Food was about 5 / 10. I wanted to love it, but it was just not that good.
Fresh tasty sushi and soup.
Great service and goog selection of rolls very nasty
There are two Arigato locations in Kamloops. This one is not like the one on hillside drive. I am sorry but the food is like night and day. The hillside location is always fresh and in my opinion is the best sushi in Kamloops now that Blue fish has changed ownership. I have the worst gas after eating at the Valleyview Arigato. I think it was the Gomae as it didn t look as fresh as it could be and was a little mushy. The service was excellent but when it comes to sushi it has to be a better quality. Sorry for the low stars but my family won t let me in the house!
Unappealing, lacked freshness, dissatisfied with quality of food.
Always the best!
We make it a habit to either order from them through skip the dishes, or even drive to the restaurant to eat. My wife and I love the spicy tuna sashimi, the spicy salmon sashimi, all the tempura dishes, and the miso soup. The truth is that we love everything Arigato Sushi in Valleyview has to offer. Note that this restaurant is owned by different folks that have the Aberdeen location, and the food & service here is exceptional & outstanding. The owners and staff are so kind and polite, and they always make us feel special. We love them and their food!
Our usual sushi spot has been inconsistent lately so we tried Valleyview Arigato based on a recommendation. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. The Philadelphia roll was a complete rip off. Each roll had a sliver of salmon and was mostly tempura crunches. The negitoro roll had no green onion (the negi part of negitoro) but cucumber instead.
We just popped in for a quick bite and they certainly made their mark. The friendly staff added little touches to make our sushi experience stand out.
Really good sushi
Went early and the restaurant was quiet. Ordered a couple of lunch boxes and a roll. Food was delicious and filled us up for the price. Amazing location by the hwy making it easy to stop by when travelling. I would go back next time in Kamloops.
I was in a car accident at the intersection near Arigato Sushi and the staff was SO kind and allowed us to stay a very long time while we sorted out what to do with our undrivable car and how to get back to the US. The food was also fantastic and so nourishing on a cold winter day after a concussion!
Very good miso the bento box was yummy.
Great Place, Great food...genuine people...highly recommended
Arigato Sushi is by far the best sushi I have ever had! Very friendly staff, we love Arigato Sushi!
The staff are always super welcoming and friendly when I come in. My order is always ready on time and very good.
So fresh! even the tempura.
Yummy!! Fresh. Staff is so kind.
Great value, fresh fish, excellent service!
Great atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food! We had an amazing experience. We ll definitely come back again :)
The go-to place in Valleyview when you ve got sushi cravings. Location is convenient and food is good. Sushi is always made efficiently without losing quality. Pricing is affordable and ranges depending on type of food. Positive environment and happy staff!
Everything is great here. The service was our favorite part. We had to sit for about an hour before our third showed up and they couldnt have been happier and more accommodating for us. Super friendly
Sushi was very good and the service was great.
This place is so great, amazing food, great portions, great prices, amazing service
Best Japanese sushi restaurant in North America
Very nice place
Dont let the location fool you. Arigato cranks out some of the best sushi in Kamloops. Great service and lots of options on the menu. We found that the quality of salmon has always been consistently high. See you again!
This place is a hidden gem
Wonderful sushi, very good service.
It has more fancy and interesting sushi rolls than most other Japanese restaurants. Definitely suggest several visits to sample the menu.
Not my first time here. I have been to Arigato a number of times on my trips to or through Kamloops. I don t like thinking too hard for a quick bite so ordered a couple of Bento C boxes. A good sampling of yummy tempura and sashimi. The tempura batter was perfect. Just the right crisp and crunch. The spicy salmon salad was spicy and salad crisp. The sashimi just take a look. Don t hesitate to stop here in Kamloops!
Love this place! Best food
Always amazing food and top notch service. Best sushi in town
Best costumer service! We had the Mango Paradise roll and it was sooo good ! Love it !
Very nice staff and really good food.
What a pleasant surprise, I didnt know what to expect when I wandered in here. But a friendly welcome and an attentive staff set the tone early. The saba was fresh and firm, the ikura was hearty and had a nice pop. But the star of the show was The Snow White roll -- a feast for the eyes and the stomach. High-quality ingredients and first-rate service -- you will not be disappointed!
Best Shusi in Town Always my pleasure.
Arrived to kamloops late. Ordered take out. Was prepared quickly and very fresh! Miso soup was great
Didn t like the sushi..
Bento was great. Wish I had known Sashimi is Raw Fish. Couldnt taste that. Rolls were nice.
Great food, wonderful atmosphere and the staff are amazing. I really enjoyed the entire experience. Thank you all.
My god, Arigato Special Roll and Prawn Tempura!!!!!! Is my new fav food! Absolutely love it. Ive eaten in and takeout. Both awesome. Keep up the awesomeness!
Food was great, went in for a couple of miso, ended up making the financial mistake of looking at the menu. Ordered and ate far too much delicious food Wife not impressed She wasn t there and I used the joint account. :) will be back
Best sashimi I have ever had. Have never had such large portions. Everything was extremely fresh.
Delicious sushi. Absolutely wonderful service. Staff is so friendly and accommodating.
Never had a single piece of bad sushi!
I happened to stop by during a golf trip, but I stopped by again the next day, even though it took more time. All are perfect.
Really interesting and creative sushi selection. Everything I tried was great.
The bacon roll is on another level!
Lovely cozy Japanese restaurant. Pleasant friendly staff. Nice ambience with private cubicle seats for gross of 4. Extensive menu range. I had the sashimi bento box. Nice presentation. Chunky sashimi. Wasabi packs quite a punch. Tempura is very light and crispy. Miso soup was very tasty. Easy parking right in front. Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options.
Great food.
Favorite place to go get sushi in town. Awesome people, awesome food & a great atmosphere. Kid-friendliness: Staff is always super kind to our kids.
Great food and service
Sashimi was absolutely delicious and the maki was great too
Awful experience today! My Veggy rolls were horrible! They used grossly wilted/mushy lettuce in the rolls. Who in their right mind would use gross lettuce like that is beyond me. But it was bad! I do appreciate that they brought me a different roll in replacement, but why in the world would you use it it the first place? I also witnessed the till manager wiping under his nose with his finger and then put lids on the take out ginger and wasabi containers. Like gross! The seats were not very clean either. I did feel bad for the one waitress. She was run off her feet. Our family will not go back to this one. GO TO THE ONE ON HILLSIDE DR!
Im a return customer to this place. The customer service is great and the food is consistent, delicious and fresh.
Never had any issues with the food, always delicious. Staff are so attentive and kind, the atmosphere is comfortable. My absolute favourite spot for years! Kid-friendliness: I ve seen many times those with little ones in the restaurant and it s a comfortable space for them and their families.
Very polite service. Double dynamite rolls were gret and so was the bento box.
Great bento, reasonable prices and good service. Not much else you could ask for
Love this place, amazing food.
Great customer service and delicious food! We got the Cali Vento Box $17 well worth it!
The best sushi every time never any disappointments
Such sweet and kind people! amazing menu, kimchi was SO good.
The food is delicious. As far as I m concerned, best sushi in Kamloops, make sure you come to the Valleyview location.
I was very tired from the long trip + driving, but it was so delicious that my eyes opened and my mind became clearer! The owner was very kind and even gave us some kimchi he made himself. It was the most refreshing kimchi Ive had in a long time... Ill save this store and stop by every time I pass through Kamloops!
We found a very welcoming environment, the staff very kind and courteous. The sushi and the other dishes are excellent. Highly recommended!
Lovely people and excellent food!
I love their sushi, especially their crunchy Californias one of our favorites. service is always wonderful and the price is insanely affordable
Very delicious, surprisingly large portions

one of my favourite restaurants!! the staff is always so friendly and understanding and the food is just amazingggg! my go-to order is edamame and deep fried gyoza, 11/10 :)
This place is on point. Miso, perfect. Bulgogi, on point. Sashimi tasted like it does back home on the island. (Not sure how?! Way cool) The price is fair, the portions are big! Amazing, going to be going here every time Im in town.
Very healthy food and great service!
Amazing sushi! I have never had such good quality! Thank you
Excellent!! Excellent food, excellent service, and excellent prices!!
Amazing food and such wonderful people
Honestly we ve been coming here for the past 15 years and spent thousands of dollars here - in fact weve ordered once a week for the last 10. We stopped coming here for a while because 1. The service has become extremely slow and every single time I was waiting in my car for 30+ minutes longer than they told me my order would be ready. 2. Every single time my order is wrong and they constantly blame it on me - every freaking time tell me that I am wrong and that this is what I ordered. You can look back on my 1000+ orders and see I ve never ever in my life ordered these rolls. They never honour my credit when I go back to get my roll. Will not be coming here anymore. Super unfortunate you ve let it come to this.
The house roll and tuna maki were spot on today. As usual the staff were very friendly.
Very friendly bunch of guys there. And the sushi is always top notch!!! Always my go to sushi stop!!
Best sushi in Kamloops. Always fresh and very good. Pleasant people. Decent prices
Great service, fast Bento box fresh and tasty.
First class. Food and service. We look forward to coming again
Good service and great food!
The best sushi in town! We come from the other side of town because there is no comparison! You won t be disappointed - rolls are full, great quality and tastes so good!
Great service, great sushi. Spicy tuna roll is highly recommended!
Delicious
A great experience last night, friendly and quick service was provided. The spicy Korean tofu soup was excellent along with the spicy salmon roll. Will definitely try again as it s very affordable.
Good food
Best sushi place in town. Everyone was super friendly and foods were excellent!! Yet still affordable.
Amazing sunomono
Best sushi around. I stop here everytime Im passing through kamloops which is quite often. Love the service and quality of food is unmatched.
Food is always good and service is pretty good as well despite staff shortages.
Justtt amazingggg ,one of the best in kamloops
What a wonderful sushi!!
Fantastic sushi! Toro, salmon and unagi in particular are excellent. Great value and service.
Best sushi in kamlooops
Delicious food, I tried the Mango Paradise roll, 6 months ago, and finally made it back to try again. Still Fabulous
Yum.
I will start by saying I never write google reviews. Tonight my boyfriend and I while on a road trip through BC stopped in for sushi. I am celiac (gluten allergy) so it s rare we can find a place so accommodating. Honestly this was the best sushi we have ever had! Ryan was our server and he was so friendly and made the experience. My only wish was that this sushi spot was at home in Ontario so I could get it all the time. I have no other words to say other then this place is absolutely amazing!!
The sushi is great, but I keep ordering the Korean food which is also excellent here! Well probably be stopping here every time we pass through Kamloops!
Passing by on our way to Vancouver Island and what a gem that we discovered! I normally don t like tuna sashimi because of the fishy taste but the tuna (and all the fishes) in the Chirashi Don was super fresh. We ll definitely stop by here again the next time we pass through.
served fast and late for which we were grateful, however the food itself was rather sad: mushy rice, tasteless rolls, would not eat there is it werent the only choice late in the evening.
Good sushi
BEST sushi in Kamloops with the most amazing staff! Everyone is so friendly and kind and they go above and beyond for their customers. Will always be our go to place!
Tasty food, friendly people! Great value!
Still amazing after all these years. Huge menu, really affordable, everything is delicious.
Good sushi
Amazing sushi and service this evening! Everything was fresh and the portions were great. Definitely recommend the deep fried ice cream if you have room for dessert!
yummy yum yum
Top teir, above and beyond service! Friendly staff, great pricing and tasting food! I reccomend to anyone!
A truly fantastic meal. Their Gyu donburi is fantastic and the sununomo is delicious. We have been back three times and I would recommend this restaurant as the best Japanese food in Kamloops. Thank you
Every time, again and again; on time, on point and delicious.
Amazing food and staff, I had the Hillside roll (deep fried) and Gyoza. I am a sushi lover and this place was definitely one of the best I have ever had.
Good size dinner set. Foods are very fresh and delicious. Road trip passed by. Will be back next time :)
Impressive service and good quality of food. The owner has respectful business mind not only looking for more profits. I and my wife enjoyed having dinner combo and tofu soup on the way back from east. I will come and visit again for trying sashimi next time. Appreciate smiles which made us feeling recovered from long drive trip. Stopped by for late lunch today. Awesome as always. Thanks.
I stop in atArigato sushi Kamloops I ordered pan fried gyoza. A order of 8. I ve had gyoza in a few different places. But I ve never had perfectly cooked and filling gyoza as these ones. The staff were out standing there restaurant was very clean and a warm atmosphere. I will be back.
Nice small restaurant, great service, and delicious food. The house-facing kitchen is always a nice touch.
Always great food! Quality is excellent! One of our favorites!
Always fresh amazing food and fast and friendly service. Thank you
Always amazing food and service.
