This evening, my husband and I enjoyed a delightful date night with some close friends, who introduced us to their favourite sushi restaurant. We were thoroughly impressed—it exceeded all of our expectations. As a sushi enthusiast, I can confidently say that this was some of the best sushi I've ever tasted. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the personal touch of the owner coming out to share a shot of sake with us. It was a memorable and exceptional dining experience. Already looking forward to our next visit🙏🏽🥂
Great experience. Food was really great and affordable. The deluxe California roll and the gyoza were amazing. Will be back for sure!
Delicious fresh food and fantastic service! We tried several things (maki rolls, teriyaki plates, miso soup, fried banana with ice cream for dessert). Everything was so yummy that even our picky kids enjoyed the meal. We will be happy to come back and highly recommend this place for dine in or take out!
I had moderate expectations given the location and the modest frontage. However, the food, service, and prices were very good. I had the sushi and sashimi bento box others had other bento boxes and all had great reviews.
It's a awesome place, the server make sure you having a nice experience, the food it's tasty and absolutely I'll be there again once I come on my next visit to Kelowna
I love this local sushi shop and so glad my friends introduced me to it a few years ago. I am not a seafood eater but that hasn’t stopped me from loving their food. I’ve had the bento boxes, the teriyaki beef and chicken rolls, some great yam, avocado and other veggie rolls, then my friends had me try the Superman roll… and it’s so hard not to get it each time! I love it! Eat in or take out… I’ve even had this for a picnic down at the lake and still - love the Superman roll! Wish I’d stopped to take a picture of the roll this time but I was hungry. It is great. Crispy chicken pieces on top with just a little bit of jalapeños and spicy mayo. It is a great meal. The chefs and staff are always friendly, acknowledging and so nice to speak to. Take out order turn around time is very fast. Food is fresh, tasty. Good quantifies. Great local restaurant.
Yikes, what a mistake it was to order here. Quite expensive yet incredibly poor quality. The pork katsu is overcooked and dry as hell, the hand cone is the saddest thing I've ever seen in my life - who cheap out on rice of all things?? Where are the scallops?? And the takoyaki isn't even proper takoyaki, it seems like they tempura fried it and the texture is way, way off. Also, what's with the random lettuce in everything? Get your sushi fix somewhere else, I deeply spending $60 on this meal.
Great local spot in Kelowna. Vietnamese owned- my people! Fast and friendly service, very fresh fish. Great value for what we ordered, especially as I compare to Edmonton sushi prices these days. We enjoyed the Toro Nigiri especially. The assorted sashimi was generous and he even torched the mackerel/saba for us which brought out amazing flavours you don't typically get when served raw. Would definitely stop by again, glad we found this gem on Google and dined here.
Very good food, the server was fantastic!!
Good food good service. Very chill atmosphere
Awesome sushi, great friendly service. Very enjoyable experience! Hidden hole in the wall gem in WK!
Awesome sushi! Order have done both order take out and dine in and was happy with both.
The best Japanese food Ive ever had. Friendly, courteous staff. Nice atmosphere.
Food was fresh and delicious. Presentation was lovely. Service was great, very helpful and friendly.
Good food, good prices and friendly staff!
We ordered dinner take out. We chose the bento box teriyaki beef, teriyaki chicken with egg noodles, tempura vegetables and sushi. All the hot food was fresh and delicious. Well definitely order again. The sushi was very tasty, but a bit smaller than other local Japanese restaurants. All in all though, pleased with service and food.
Best sushi in west Kelowna, and Kelowna. If you re not too far from driving over the bridge it s absolutely worth it. Been coming here for a couple years and will come for many more!
Good food
Had take away from West Sakura today! The sushi was some of the freshest and tastiest I ve had in West Kelowna and the veggie tempura was light, fresh and delicious. The Superman roll was the absolute best roll ever. Service at pick-up was fast and friendly. Thank you!
So good, great variety with the platters
Really affordable pricing and great customer service! Food was quiet tasty too!
Vegetarian options: Bento box, sushi rolls. Very good! Dietary restrictions: Cannot eat onions or garlic Wheelchair accessibility: Very accommodating so mom could get in and sit down.
Well love this place. Never have had a bad meal. the people there are great.
The most tasty and also the most beautiful rolls Ive had in the Okanagan! My kids and I cant wait to go back.
Incredible food and service, some of the best food I ve ever had, particularly the Ogopogo Roll. Highly recommend!!
We visited West Kelowna Sakura, Friday,February 24th, 2023 and would like to acknowledge the very busy restaurant, the excellent chef and staff, and server, they all were excellent in providing us with an awesome restaurant experience. Thank You Spencer n Camille.... xoxo
This has the YUMMIEST food ever! Every time i come i am blown away by the quality and service 10/10 recommend
Great food and wonderful service!
Me and my family love west Sakura and have been coming here for years!! Best sushi in town in my opinion. Great service, great food. What s more to love?
They happily helped me choose some very tasty options because I don t really know anything about sushi and seafood yet, their waitress was very talkative and happy to help! Along side with very professional chefs. I d give this place a high recommendation, a comfy little family owned restaurant, all in all a great dine in or take out restaurant.
Bento box lunches were fresh and delicious.
Great food and friendly service!!!
Best Spring Rolls in Okanagan:)
Food was excellent as was the service. Owners where vey friendly and polite. One of the better sushi restaurants in kelowna.
Delicious. Quick and good service. Attentive server and accommodating kitchen.
It was absolute delite to eat here. The food was so tasty and the service was even better. I highly recommend this quaint restaurant. One of the best experiences we have encountered.
Always so yummy.
It was a pleasure to meet the owner and his family. Excellent service and food. Nice to meet fellow Vietnamese folks on our travels!
Very disappointed, ordered party tray 3 hours early for new years dinner and it wasnt ready when I went to pick it up. Rolls had too much rice and very little filling. Loosely rolled and falling apart, looked like I made them. Not sure what happened, this use to be good place to get party trays. Expensive as well, compared to other great sushi places.
I hate leaving bad reviews but My mom and I ordered through Ninja Now the other night as we wanted to try cause we had never ordered from here. It will be the last time we order from here again. We BOTH woke up in the middle of the night with extreme stomach aches, something was definitely off with whatever we ordered. Even the outside of our stomachs were bloated and tender the next day. If something isn t fresh, please don t risk it and serve it to people anyway
Weekly orders of Ogopogo and Superwoman rolls are always excellent. Such good flavour and loaded with lots of salmon and scallops. I ve tried lots of sushi places but this is my favourite. Looking forward to tonight s meal!
Love, love, love this place! It was a hidden gem that Im so glad we finally found! I can order vegan options with ease and its so delicious. Hubby says best sashimi hes had. Our new go to for sure
West Sakura rivals any sushi Ive had in some of the best restaurants in North America. Ive eaten here for almost a decade, and its always consistent and perfect. Customer service is top notch!! Well done.
Stopped by for a quick lunch on our way to Vancouver only to be completely WOWed! The bento boxes were absolutely delicious! Sushi were so yummy and fresh! Even the our picky kids noted that the food was really good! The staff were so friendly and the restaurant is very clean! We ll definitely be stopping by again next time we are driving through West Kelowna! Thank you!
Best sushi I have had outside the lower mainland. Delicious
I think of myself as a good judge of sushi as I ve had it A LOT from many different cities. I will give a shout out to Mr. Sushi and sister downtown store, Sushi Yori in Prince George. Some of the best I ve ever had and it s in my neighbourhood! I m here on business and wanted to try some local sushi. Anyway, I almost feel bad writing this review as the young blonde server was very friendly as was the older Chinese gentleman (owner?). Super friendly! However .The food was not good. We paid $112 for 3 chicken bento dinners an order of caterpillar rolls and an order of Philadelphia rolls. We upgraded the miso soup for wonton and also got 3 sunomono salad. Chicken was rubbery. Caterpillar rolls were good. Just good. Philadelphia rolls were the worst I ve ever had. Soooo dry and bland. The California rolls were bland and tasteless as well. Tasted like warm rice. The salad with bentos is usually a home made or maybe even store bought peanut type sauce. This salad had like a Western family sweet onion dressing. Weird. Wontons were blah. Should ve just had miso soup. The tempura was really done well and tasted good except they never gave us any sauces for it. Lame! The sunomono salad had hardly any noodles in it. The least I ve ever seen. Also lame. They gave us no cutlery or even chopsticks or napkins. Good thing we weren t going out for a picnic or something and not home to eat. I forgot to take pics. Damn .sorry. I would not recommend this place to anyone who knows sushi. To those who don t know better, it s probably not so bad. I won t go back. That is all.
I work at a hair salon in the same plaza as Sakura and I frequently order their bento boxes as well as the crispy gyozas! Consistently delicious and top notch service. My favorite restaurant!
The specialty rolls here are by far the best around town.
Best delivery drivers. Hot and fresh everytime
Great staff. Great food.
Dont care about your calories and get all the fried sushi! This is the best place in Kelowna/West Kelowna IMO. Bonus: their veggie roll has a peanut butter drizzle that is fantastic. Have fun :)
Love, LOVE their sushi. Oh my goodness is fantastic. I ordered the volcano roll. Its a meal all on its own! And I had the Ogopogo roll. Both are fantastic and tasted great the next day too. The service was great as well. Highly recommend!
I used to come to this sushi restaurant on occasion when I was in university in 2015. The sushi was always great. My partner and I travel to Kelowna quite frequently now from our home in Vancouver, and every time I rave to him that this is the best sushi in Kelowna. The timing never worked out in the past, but this past long weekend we finally made it! We had the Volcano, Sakura, and Ogopogo roll. All the rolls were fantastic and my partner felt like the restaurant was well worth my hype. We have been to many well known sushi restaurants in Vancouver (which we love) and this place is right on par in terms of flavour, and presentation and exceeds in terms of service. So happy to see the quality after so many years is still there! Hope to return again soon :)
One of the best Japanese restarounts Ive ever been to, staff super friendly and food is Delicious
So good! Staff was super friendly and helped me order some GF items for my husband who was very happy with his rolls! 10/10 will definitely be eating here again!
Great food and service. Definitely highly recommended! Super salmon is the best!!!
Food is fantastic. Will definitely come back to this restaurant. We all enjoyed the food and service!
Vegetarian options: Super Fresh sushi. Best in west Kelowna
Great food and customer service, its a bit pricey
Hands down the worst gyoza and nigiri Ive ever had. The gyoza were tiny and extremely overcooked and had no flavor. The salmon nigiri were not fresh at all and couldnt even be picked up without the rice balls crumbling apart completely. I went here instead of my usual place because I had a gift card. I dont know if its because I got take-out or what but Im baffled on how bad my food was considering the other reviews here.
Great service and yummy food. Very clean and well kept restaurant.
Best quality sushi in all of Kelowna. Family owned restaurant, they are all so friendly and sweet. Love this place!
Very good, fair price for the quality of food.
Waitress was nice and attentive. My Bento box was delicious. A hidden gem off the highway.
Great food and Great service. would recommend to anyone
Great food. My new West Kelowna go to sushi spot
great food and service
Great food and service
Decent sushi but extremely overpriced for what you get. Prices should be 50% less. The Yakoyaki was delicious though, definitely best part of the meal. Restaurant was very loud and kind of awkward feeling.
Amazing!
Great food, great owners.
We were very disappointed in the quality of our lunch boxes ordered Friday Mar 12 PM . Beef with egg noodles was so-so but the tempura was undercooked and inedible. A waste of good veggies and prawns. California rolls were also not tasty. Will not be back. There are much better sushi restaurants in the valley.
Mmm yummy bacon
Nice assortment of sushi. Deep fried is the best
Definitely not your average run of the mill sushi joint. It s definitely one of the best in the Okanagan, hands down (and I was born and raised here). Their menu is diverse and their rolls are amazing. The staff is lovely - you really feel like family when you come here.
Four seperate entrees 2 appys..three people all very pleased
Horrible the tempura was undercooked it was like eating straight raw shrimp and dough, the salmon was bitter and gross, and overall just bad food.
Great Sushi!
Quite possibly some of the best sushi I have eaten in Canada, i had the superman roll, chicken karaage and the heart attack roll. Food tasted incredibly fresh the batter on the Karaage was very light and crispy, the sushi rolls were a bit more expensive than more sushi places but definitely worth the money. To top it off the service was amazing, really friendly staff that were all happy walking around with smiles on their faces and attentive to you with out being in your face which made it a great environment 10/10 would recommend
Sushi is quite good but the price is slightly expensive. Tempera is not good because It is tasteless and has a thick bread coating.
Best sushi place in West Kelowna
Smaller, unassuming place in an industrial strip mall. Surprisingly good food. Clean with polite staff. We sat down and had 2 Bento boxes for a late lunch. We will be back.
Sushi was quite good and fish was fresh. Slightly more rice and fillers than fish. The party tray was filled with non-fish rolls (yes I should have read the description more closely). Special rolls were big and filling but not the high quality I have come to expect from BC. Still very tasty and would go back.
Too much mayo for my tastes
Best sushi in west kelowna. Great service and great food. Very familiar faces from Orchard Park a decade ago good for you guys will be back forsure
good
What a hidden gem! Cute place right off the highway in West Kelowna that is full of big flavours! Prices are a little higher than other places but it is completely elevated and worth it!! Highly recommend!
I honestly dont know what the rave is all about. First off our server was great, he was a blonde young man with yellow nail polish and his customer service was excellent. (Would hire him if I had a resto) Food was meh. Coming from Vancouver, it tastes like budget sushi that you can get from food court. The presentation looks good, but taste wise... Mehh.. overpriced but doesnt deliver. Im sorry but seared toro, isnt the same as blended cat food on top of sushi. Please tell your chef to cook your dam tempuras properly. Get a timer and set it at the right temperature. Some of our tempura were cooked others were raw. Are you guys even using the proper rice for sushi? Would not be back.
Love this food
First time trying, I love bento boxes and hands down this place has the best bento boxes in kelowna or west kelowna. Huge portions, fresh food, delicious flavour. Thank you guys, I ll be back regularly!!
Delicious! Best sushi ever! Very friendly staff!
This was a lucky find as we are not from the city. Gret food and great service. My wifes words were that was delicious.
Best sushi in town
A small family run Japanese restaurant along Highway 97, in West Kelowna. The welcoming staff are friendly and courteous, and the food is decent. They offer a fairly large menu with some creative sushi designs.
First time ordering here the food is as incredible as the customer service. Will eat here again for sure.
Fantastic sushi. The deluxe rolls will blow your taste buds
Awesome!!!!
First time but not the last. Asked for enough food for 5 for pickup order. I was very happy with amount and the quality of the food we received. Would definitely recommend the restaurant.
The sushi is amazing - so fresh and you have to try their wonton soup It doesnt get any better!!
Great sushi! They forget to give you chopsticks more times than not so dont forget to ask! It sucks getting to the beach like I am now and having to finger feast.
Some of the best sushi I have ever had. Great atmosphere, friendly service, high quality fish and a delicious dessert.. what more can you ask for!
BEST Sushi and amazing staff
Very yummy sushi. Amazing food. Super friendly staff. Highly recommend the place!
This is by far the best place in the Kelowna area for sushi. We eat here at least once a week and have never had a bad meal. It is definitely worth the drive to the West side if you are in Kelowna!
One of the best sushi I have ever tried!!!! Thank you guys, definitely will come back again!
100% 5 stars for this restaurant. Great service and awesome rolls. Worth a try
Delicious
Nice and clean restaurant. Food was very fresh and was prepared on time. Would definitely visit again when I m in the area.
So fresh! Best won ton soup! And the geoza is to die for!
Great quality and prices! It was even pretty fast service!
Always good and fresh
By far the best quality sushi Ive tried so far living in Kelowna, going on 6 years now. It may seem a little pricey at first but its WORTH IT. You get large portions and everything tastes so fresh, lovely staff too. My favorites are the volcano roll, samurai roll, and the scallops! Definitely all a must try from here. P.S. they are on Ninjanow delivery app if you want heaven delivered too you ;)
The rolls were awesome. Their sashimi was amazing and very fresh. The downside was that it was very expensive. Not sure if it balanced out as there are other places cheaper with the same quality.
Fresh and delicious! We tried the war wonton soup, mixed tempura, deluxe dynamite roll and beef teriyaki roll. Everything was excellent we will be back!
Clean! Small! Uber friendly! Ate in and did take out! Sushi man is a showman!
My favorite family run Japanese restaurant on the westside. Great service, awesome food, and friendly staff. We eat here a lot and have yet to have a bad experience . Highly recommend them!
Amazing friendly people! A huge asset to our hotlunch program!
Outstanding. Rice is excellent but thats a bare minimum. Ingredients are top notch. Specialty sushi is creative. Fast efficient attentive service
Fabulous
The staff are fantastic, so nice! Were used to Vancouver sushi but this was a good find sushi was pretty good for Kelowna and prices were good.
Such good food and friendly staff!
The food is decent. The server is friendly and helpful.
Our favorite West Kelowna Sushi. Volcano Roll is awesome!!! Best teriyaki as well!! Trung and the staff are friendly and the service is #1. My family is taking me there tonight for my birthday. Aloha!
Great place and very fresh food. Always a pleasure to eat here and owner Tru is a talented chef!
I always love the food and the customer service is great.
A Japanese restaurant I stopped by on my way out of Mission Hill. I had the lunch set menu and the portion was generous so I enjoyed it.
Awesome food and people
This place is THE BEST !! The service, food and atmosphere are all 10/10. It s impossible to not order everything on the menu because it s all so good. Talk about a beautiful presentation and with a artistic flair. I love that the menu has so many photos. I am hooked !!!!
Volcano roll is the signature ! The special rolls are all good. Usually the sushi rice at other place is served cold, but its warm here. Love it
Delicious sushi. Friendly staff.
Volcano roll and the one with chopped scallop on top... To die for.. Delich...
My favourite sushi place in Kelowna area. Staff are so friendly and you can tell this by the amount of locals that go there and how they make everyone feel welcomed. Their food is fresh and flavourful! I really enjoy the sakura roll as well as the super crunch roll. The gyozas are also AMAZING. I love steamed gyozas over other restaurants deep frying them! Thank you all for providing west kelowna with such a great option for japanese food!
Wonderful rolls awesome service I venture to say best sushi rolls Ive ever eaten have been here.
Great food, great staff.
Everyone is super friendly and the food
You cant go wrong here. The Volcano roll is our favourite. If youre looking for great sushi, look no further.
Excellent food
These people are amazing! Super friendly and the sushi is the best ever!! Love this place and highly recommend it!
Must haves: scallops, Las Vegas roll, superwoman roll. Service is always excellent!
Had a nice lunch with a good price and good service that was pretty quick.
Great food and reasonable prices. Volcano roll is so good. A return is assured.
Our favorite place for Japanese,great service and reasonably priced.
Ordered some sushi rolls a while back. The cook/chef was chatting with the waitresses, not focused at the task at hand. The rolls were 80% rice, were served at room temperature, and something tasted off about them. I also wasnt a fan of the chefs attitude towards my friend and I. I think he mistook us for high school students and thought he could take advantage of our naivety.
Love it here my favourite sushi
Incredible and delicious food. Unique flavours and great presentations.
Awesome!
Delicious food, clean, and very friendly staff!
Surprisingly great local sushi
Excellent!
Excellent food at a reasonable price. We go here often.
Suprisingly excellent sushi given the location and exterior appearance. Dont let the location put you off! Best sushi ive had east of Vancouver.
Best sushi in Kelowna!! Hands down.
Sloppy made sushi. Edible but I wouldnt say its good. They put mayo in their tuna maki which is strange. All tasted like white washed sushi. Would not come back.
Best Sushi on the Westside .
Delicious! Well laid out menu! Kid friendly! First timer... I came here for a quick after work dinner with the kids. The staff was very welcoming; our waitress made impromptu learner chopsticks for my 4yr old. Creative and playful menu with plenty of labelled pictures for the kids to decide. Did I mention it was delicious?! We had Tempura Veg to start, kids chicken on noodles, Superman roll, Spider roll and Ogopogo Roll. Mine and my daughters favorite was the Superman roll
Met a friend here for sushi it was great service was great !!!!!
The best sushi I ve ever had! The scallops are a must have and the specialty rolls are a cut above. Might I add great service!!
Food was incredible the service was awesome
Great food
Always the best
Always great food and good service.
Fast service and a very personal staff. The food is top notch for the surrounding area. Would recommend.
Location isnt the best, but the food is so worth it! Very fresh, very tasty, prices are good and so is service! A must try for sure!
Amazing food,great service. The gyoza and takoyaki were to die for!!!
Always awesome. Best most creative sushi out there! Staff is always the best!
Best sushi in kelowna.
Friendly staff, great services and the the sushi Super woman was amazing!!! The beef bento box was the best I have ever had. I would totally go back when I come back to Kalowna. Please open one up in edmonton,Alberta.
Delicious food, great service, very reasonable prices. Was just passing threw but I would certainly recommend
It took me forever to try this place, and ever since I did, I come almost every other day. Hands down the best sushi. Amazing presentation and even better taste
Best sushi in bc hands down !!!
Great Sushi, great service team, love eating here although their liquor prices got a little high recently. Not a big deal but it stops me from ordering a beer with my meal. Food is excellent and priced fine. Definitely worth the visit!
Ive come here a few times on business trips up and always hit the spot. The sushi rolls are original and taste good. Prices are not bad if your sharing with others. Can be a nice sit down meal or a quick one if your passing through Westbank. Service is always great.
It was okay, but i have had better in the lower mainland.
Best sushi i have ever had in my life right here in kelowna. The staff are super friendly, as well as the environment that Trung, Mr Luke, Ayla and the rest of the staff help keep alive. Keep up the great work!!
Best sushi in town
New menu is amazing. Food is always excellent. Great little family run business. Shop local and try this place out, you wont regret it!
Fantastuc food. Great service and the only sushi place i will eat in West Kelowna
