We always get exceptional service here when my little family visit. The staff really go above and beyond. The food is aways freshly made. The sauces are soooo good. Check it out!
Just got back, it was excellent as always. The sushi is consistently fresh and delicious. The staff are very kind and friendly—they even recognise us as long-term customers, which is always appreciated. They've recently added new items to the menu, which I will probably try soon. If you're looking for great sushi and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend them as always.
Ordered pick-up from Nemo Sushi for the first time today, and it was fantastic. The sushi was fresh, delicious, and beautifully arranged. Will definitely order again. Highly recommend!
I think we were the first customers ordered their HOT DISHES! We ordered chicken yakisoba, beef yaki udon and wonton soup. Delicious! Texture and temperature were perfect! Appreciate that they have hot food in winter. Will order again with their sushi as well! Staffs are friendly and professional. Best sushi place in the town 👍👍👍👍👍
A good restaurant with good service. The rolls were decent, although with too much cream cheese and not actual sushi. The Maki and Nigiri though were amazing and our favorites.
It is one of the best places on the island. Great value for money. They use high-quality ingredients. It's a to go place, but they have casual seating inside. It's definitely our favorite in Nanaimo.
Work trip dinner before taking the ferry back to Vancouver. I was craving for sushi, and I’ve good things about this place. Food was ok, it’s fresh for sure, I just think they rely on the sauce too much, I ordered 2 speciality rolls which are not on the pictures, they are way too saucy. The nigi toro maki is a little blend, tempura was a little too heavy on the batter. It’s not bad for Nanaimo standard.
The food here is really delicious. The chef uses the ingredients generously, and each dish is very worth it. Don't forget to order the side for Takoyaki! It’s so good👍🏻
I ordered a Bento box I was waiting a little longer than I thought I would but a staff member apologized for the wait. Food was tasty too.
Food was pretty average. The salmon don was more like a poke rather than a normal salmon don.
It was the first time I went to Nainamo. The kids wanted to eat sushi, and then I read the reviews. The pictures were more attractive compared to the sushi pictures at other restaurants. We originally planned to order set meal C, but found that set meal D was more attractive. After waiting for about ten minutes, the sushi made on site was ready, and the children loved it. I will choose this store again if I have the chance next time, highly recommended! Kid-friendliness: Great selection of sushi, kids loved it
Best salmon sashimi and chicken karagi
Got extremely sick from eating here, my sushi had sat on a counter for 30 mins until I received it! NOT REFRIGERATED. Spent $45 just to get sick and had to miss work for 2 days. Update: Cost of meal was refunded, typically they will put food in a fridge after a few minutes of it being out but it was a very busy day and the name for my order was mistaken. Somewhat understandable mistake, things happen I guess. Still I unfortunately had to deal with the food poisoning.
Our favourite sushi restaurant in Nanaimo
Must have a try on the restaurant, the texture and taste of the sushi is beyond my expectation
I placed an order for take out. The service was slow, the food wasn t good. The roll was falling apart and the rice and salmon was very dry. While waiting for my order I noticed how dirty the restaurant was.. sticky table, dirty floor. The staff was nice though
Love the Happy Cali rolls! Very friendly staff. Parking: So much parking! Food : 5/5 |
We have severe food allergies and Nemo sushi always goes out of their way to serve us wonderful and safe options on the menu We are and will be repeat customers Food
this place is so clean and nice
Super friendly great service, clean, and tasty fresh food.
Agadashi tofu so gross I cannot even describe. Feel like I ve been ripped off. I spent way too much money here to be told oh well this is how we make it - refund would have been nice!
Good food.
Amazing. Fast service, tasty food with quality fish at a very good price. It is a combination that cannot be beaten.
Nice and fresh sushi and friendly service. The California happy roll was yummy and the tuna nigiri was delicious..their sushi rice is perfect. The price was fair and helpings generous. I was referred by a friend as I am not from Nanaimo..so glad I tried Nemo Sushi. Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options Parking: Tons of free parking
Have you guys never heard of a dynamite roll? It does not have crab in it. You should really show the ingredients because I would not have ordered it. The tako yaki was awesome and the other sushi was decent. The gyoza tastes/looks like Costco pot stickers. Portions are good. Probably wont be ordering again though.
Nemo is my go-to for sushi in its convenient location and open during some days others just arent! The staff are always so great and make my day! Consistently great food, try their rice bowls, I absolutely love them and its a great price for lunch on the go!
Best Sushi on Vancouver Island!
Very friendly staff and amazing service! They care about customers. We also got a complimentary spring rolls which was delicious! Thanks again. We will definitely go back Food
Our goto place until today, we got rolls and cones that seemed off, they normally are very very good and price is on point, but today we dont even want to eat it really. What happend.
Small little store with a lot of heart! The employees and owner show they care and make great food. Recently, I had to limited my carbs and wasnt sure a sushi place was the best idea but the owner/cook made me a donburi with veggies instead of rice. Going above and beyond really making my experience a great one. Ive ordered here before without restrictions and the sushi is tasty too! Lots of options for the sushi or Japan-dish lover. With most specialty places like sushi the cost has a bit of a premium but happy about the price to quality here. A solid choice for some sushi made with love!
My first time here. I ordered a spicy tuna roll and a happy salmon roll. Both fresh and flavourful. Prompt and friendly service. I will definitely go back and try some other items, as i was happy with the quality and the price point!
ordered delivery. everything was delicious but there were a couple of things I didn t like (they didn t give me chopsticks and a napkin + very little soy sauce for the combo). I ordered a second time (they put chopsticks and napkins) but there is no container for soy sauce and still not enough 2 bags for the combo
Some food was ok unfortunately I didn t like the wontons in the soup.
We got food for pick up. Im not sorry to say that this was horrible food! Wrong drinks. No utensils to eat it with! The deep fried food was soggy in our Don Buri bowl and hardly any teryaki sauce. Our Wasabi was smothered all over our sushi. No care in the packaging. I know it may sound as if Im just picky but trust me when I say, find somewhere else!
Had takeout from here for my fiancés birthday meal. It was great and came in 15-20 minutes. Well done Nemo!
Great food great people would recommend
Awesome awesome food and great staff. Wish they would give a bit more detail in the description of the online menu. A lot of people don t like sauce on their rolls and I wasn t expecting it to come with any.
Best hole in the wall sushi ever.. highly recommend
I have been ordering delivery from Nemo since moving to Nanaimo in 2021 upon commencing my studies at VIU. Their food and service is unparalleled, there is no other place like them!!! From the fresh fish, perfectly seasoned rice, and delicious appetizers, you cannot go wrong. Absolutely amongst the best sushi I ve had, and I have eaten at countless restaurants (sushi compromises most of my diet>:) Definitely amongst the best on the island. Something that they did, I m not sure if they do anymore, is personalized sticky notes thanking the customer for their order. It was a lovely touch and helped me see the brighter side of life when I was struggling. Food is top-notch quality and consistent. Staff is always fantastic! Nemo, you mean a lot and I am so thankful for you!!! Thank you for all that you do. We appreciate you! -Taya/Tomoko
from the outside it looks dingy, but they have great sushi to go at reasonable prices. If you want to quickly pick up some sushi, this is the place to go. I was genuinely surprised by the quality of the sushi.
My go to for pick up & delivery! (Door dash) Always so fast & delishes definitely a neighborhood staple
Always friendly and quick service. Prices are great and I recommend the happy cali roll as a treat. (Deep fried california roll).
Decent place but nothing amazing to be had here tbh. A bit irked by them only having packets of soy sauce vs a little dipper cup.( so much plastic waste) Parking: Its huge
yummy food, fresh sashimi, quick service. what more could you ask for? I like their sashimi bento box!
This was our go to Sushi place for years until a few months ago when we were treated poorly by the girl at the counter. We decided to give them another shot this past weekend and the same girl gave us the same bad service. We are treated as if we are inconveniencing her by coming in. She is unfriendly and unwelcoming. The woman who used to be there was so happy, friendly and knew us by name. Sadly we will not return.
pretty fresh, overall the food is good here.
We ordered take out sushi. It was okay. Considering it was so close to the ocean expect everything to taste more fresh, however it did not. The food was okay, but not excellent!
Good sushi
Deadly Happy Cali... deepfried
sushi was slammin 10/10
Very reasonable price, high quality food and very very friendly people!!
It is a very good place to get take out sushi. The place is clean, the staff are very friendly and the service was great. The rolls were well made, the ingredients are fresh, and tasty. Overall very good value if you are looking for a quick to-go sushi meal. The restaurant is also conveniently located very close to Departure Bay Ferry Terminal.
Always amazing. Always have been.
i love this place. always kind costumer service and the sushi is always delicious and fairly priced given the quality, taste and amount of food you get. me and my boyfriend have been coming here since we got together so this place will definitely always have a special place in my heart.
Awesome customer service! Made us feel like home in nanaimo!
Friendly service nice food.
delicious and fast
Just had a red dragon roll and gyuzi. Very tasty!
The prices are very reasonable, the fish is fresh, the sushi is always satisfying, and the menu covers a wide variety of styles (including rare finds). I love the local feel of the shop, and the workers there are so nice, coordinated, and thoughtful. This is my favorite sushi place in Nanaimo, due to the quality, consistency, and affordability. I recommend trying it to everyone who is able.
Good sushi, quick, nothing special but does what they do, well.
Very good friendly, tasty and fresh
My favorite place.
Surprisingly good sushi considering its pre made and good prices! They will make you any order quickly if the arent made yet too!
I love Nemo Sushi the people here are kind and grateful youve come they make the rice just like the Japanese do with a touch of apple cider vinegar and always fresh and a good bargain for their platters plenty of food to feed everyone a regular stop for my family and I as they are centrally located in terminal Park Mall behind the TD Bank go check them out you wont be disappointed
The combo was really delicious!
This has to be a hidden gem of Nanaimo for Sushi. Fresh ingredients, and oh so tasty sushi. Better than a number of high end sushi restaurants we ate at in Vancouver. A must go to if you are in Nanaimo.
So delicious!! My family enjoyed it.
Great sushi for a very reasonable price.
Food was amazing and they gave me a complimentary roll with my order. 10/10
DISGUSTING!! Went in for food and half the toppings on the sushi were not mentioned, the crab and prawns smelt like they d been left out for a few days and smelt like rotten meat as soon as I opened the lid. I called back to explain my issue and they offered Zero help, and said there s nothing they can do. Just go anywhere else besides here. Low quality in every aspect.
Today, I went to try this restaurant for the first time. I went in for lunch, and grabbed Take-out. Half the toppings on the sushi were not mentioned, and it smelt awful, and seems to have gone bad. I called, the guy told me, I was wrong, and they always have fresh food, and products. No refund, apology. Extremely not understanding, and they really don t care about their customers. I will never order over the phone, and go to this place ever again.I will tell everyone to stay away from this toxic place.
I order from here regularly and the food and service are always great! Theyre a great addition to the neighbourhood.
Always tasty and reasonable prices, only place in town that does a Inari roll. Literally only place in nanaimo. Mostly for takeout but has like 3 tables to eat in.
Probably been there about 10-15 times now, and every time I have ordered from there it has been perfect. It even feels a bit like an old school sushi to go place, a few seats but very charming. Easily my favourite sushi place in Nanaimo. A++
Great service, super friendly staff and our dinner is always ready in 20-30 minutes. Some of the sushi is a bit sweet but the nigiri and rolls are good and the fish is fresh. I recommend the spicy tuna nigiri. And we always have a complimentary nigiri slipped in our order. A nice touch.
It was a good place to go for sushi
Delicious food, friendly staff. One of our favorite places to eat in Nanaimo
One of the best sush restaurant that I have ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant. Great quality and service!
We ordered take-out and our order was completed very quickly! The sushi was excellent, we had dynamite, spicy salmon, and California rolls. I would eat here again.
I usually get the Smoked Salmon rolls and the California rolls. Always fresh and delicious.
Love their menu choices! Delicious, fresh sushi every time. The BBQ smoked salmon is my absolute fav and their prices are better than any sushi place in nanaimo <3
Amazing sushi, very friendly service. Quick and fresh!! Will be making this my weekly stop ;)
Fantastic quality, and presentation. You wont go wrong ordering delicious tempura and sushi rolls, etc from Nemo.
The owners are the sweetest people, even gave my kiddo a free moon pie!
Great food, even better people. Food is delicious and always the same high quality. I would highly recommend this place and even take my mom and daughter when they are in town. A must try!!
I had bento box C and it was delicious. Definitely intend to head back soon.
Super tasty!
Sushi is mediocre. The portion sizes are quite small for the price. Ive ordered from here 4 times now hoping the sushi would get better. Maybe because I m comparing to Nori sushi, which is our main jam.
So good!
So delicious! Fast service and friendly staff
Great service
Just wanted to say thank you for a delicious meal as always (ordered from SkipTheDishes) and for the complimentary ebi, what a nice surprise & gesture : ) Thank you again, Christine
Love their quality! Who says to go sushi cant be great? They have generous proportions and great rice-to-sushi ratios
They have the best sushi in Nanaimo in my opinion. The staff are incredibly nice people as well.
Great food .. fast takeout... limited seating
Ordered from skip the dishes tonight and I had wrong items and one of my items smelled like rotten fish . Sub par at best with this place I wont be ordering from here again .
Incredibly fresh tuna, scallop and salmon. The portions of fish in each roll is very generous and the prices are so reasonable. Chicken teriyaki bowl was also very good. This is a must stop for takeout if you re heading to the ferry!
Have ordered a few times now through both Skip and UberEats. The food is consistently wonderful and very reasonably priced. I certainly appreciate the complimentary piece of Inari I have received a time or two with my orders. Great show of customer service and lovely consideration. Will be back again =)
The best sushi we ever had! Definitely try the sashimi here:)
Great to go sushi, fast and delicious, kind staff, clean and cheerful atmosphere.
One of the worst sushi i had
Above and beyond ! They even gave me an extra complimentary Unagi Nigiri which is my favourite !! Thank you for the delicious food, my family and I very much enjoyed every bite !
The spicy tuna roll that I have always gotten from here was absolutely disgusting and I actually spit it out. The quality of all three items that I got were terrible and I will never be ordering it again and if it was up to me I would have given a zero stars but unfortunately you have to give it at least a one star. I have been ordering from here for a few years now but hadnt in the last few months and I thought I would give it a try again since none of the wonderful places were delivering on skip the dishes anymore but old trusty Nemo Sushi was still delivering on skip the dishes. And now I can see why! Dont waste your time or money please. I ate one item out of the three items
Always great. A small sushi shop with a lot of options.
I love there and i like the food and the quality is good
I had a Wonderful warm experience here theyre niguiri is fresh and the chef is very skilled. I plan on going back they even gave me an extra piece
Sushi to go is great!
Really nice Sushi
I can say that Nemo s sushi is the best one in Nanaimo. Ive never disappointed for their food or service. Always fresh, clean and kind.
Great and friendly staff! I waited a little bit longer for my party tray to be done, which i didnt mind. They gave me a complimentary piece for the wait. Tasty sushi and good price!
Great takeout place for sushi
Great selection of sushi! Friendly and helpful staff. My new favourite place.
Thanks for staying late to finish order and the food was amazing & fresh!
Great little sushi takeout. Sushi is always fresh, prices are good, and staff are very friendly.
Nemo s sushi has always been my family s favorite spot for sushi for both the great food and the very friendly staff! I want to thank the chef and staff who really went above and beyond in the service they provided the last time our family came in. The chef remembered my family member s favorite dish and went out of his way to provide us with this complimentary roll and wish us well. This kind gesture really went a long way and brightened our evening. We highly recommend Nemo s sushi!
New owners! They just reopened yesterday Our first impression - good prices, open till 8 most nights, excellent Sushi and lots of new menu items . We plan to go back tomorrow to try out something new.
This is a restaurant you must stop by when you come to Nanaimo. I am satisfied with both the fresh sushi and rolls. Boss, I hope you hit the jackpot. Ill go again next time~^^
This store offers an unforgettable taste. The chef here doesnt always disappoint.
I ate very well today. See you next time!
fantastic!!
I opened it and visited. I liked the food because it was fresh and the boss was kind.
The menu is varied and delicious. I recommend this restaurant.
It was the best sushi Ive ever had. Chef, you were kind and so nice.
Very Delicious!!
by far the best sushi to go in town and possibly the island!! we love this place. the sushi is amazing and fresh, and the couple that works here are so friendly and happy all the time. we love going to nemo sushi! 10/10 would reccomend.
Delicious sushi and friendly, nice people. Highly recommend!
Great sushi and octopus balls! Thank you!
Sushi is very good and the portions are generous!
The food is no doubt great. But I noticed today with my first visit with new owners they added a huge tip themselves before my tap. My own fault I guess for not looking. I feel thats a dishonest way to do business though.
I tried Nemo sushi for the first time last night through skip the dishes and we were all so happy with it. Great prices, great quality, nice presentation & they even threw in a free roll. I will definitely be eating here again, thanks so much!
Great value. The whole family enjoyed this. Was a little disappointed in the teriyaki chicken bowl, as there was hardly any chicken. Would definately come back again.
Sushi is fresh and nice service Fantastic !!
Fantastic food, friendly staff, and excellent prices. Some of the best quality sushi Ive had for such a reasonable price
Very clean. I bought the days pre-made sushi because it was discounted. Still quite good for the end of the day. I will go back again.
It s really delicious here!! Awesome!! And boss. The wife is also really kind.
Legit quality sushi at a very affordable price. Staff were helpful with dietary restrictions and very quick to get our food.
My favorite place in town and Ive never even stepped foot in there. I order through skip the dishes a lot because its delicious and they are fast. Recently they threw in an extra order of one of my regular items with a sticky thank-you note and a damn smiley face drawn on it.. They give INCREDIBLE customer service to a customer they have never even met!! Everyone eat HERE! This is my sushi place now, and I will kill and die for you Nemo!!
Great people great sushi
Ordered takeout and everything was fresh and delicious, handwritten note with an extra nigiri is something Ive never experienced in my MANY sushi orders, so will definitely choose this place more often. Glad I tried them for the first time, was the best first impression for takeout Ive ever had. Rolls were delicious and good sized, prices fair, and sauces were delicious.
Reasonable price and easy take out
I go there all the time. The food always meets my expectations. Staff are always friendly. My favorite item on the menu is Bento box B. Honestly it hits all the spots
Doesnt taste fresh sushi The Taste Frozen
Delicious, fast and friendly !
Good sushi decent selection, average price
Mom and pop restaurant, owners were welcoming and quick to provide service! Best tempura yams Ive had, and definitely the best Gyoza in town!
The food is so much better than I thought it was going to be. My picky daughter loves it too.
Not great. Soggy tempura
such a tiny little place which appears to do mostly take out BUT if you can, eat in instead. They make wonderful food and present it so well.
The best grab and go/ made to order sushi around.
Nice man greeted me then i waited for a lady on phone wasntl long but then she wasnt very friendly
Best sushi in town. Great food, friendly and quick service. If you are looking for your best value when it comes to amazing sushi, look no further. Definitely try the Happy California Rolls.
They do a wonderful job on their fresh sushi. They have several party tray options and they are pretty quick about it. I ordered and 10 minutes later I had enough to bring to my sons birthday party.
It was ok for what you get
Get the platters great selection of choice
Fast food. Great food. Ok selection.
Good sushi, quick service, and reasonably priced too. Id go back!
Great service and makes to order
Good food
Great little spot, clean and quiet
Came here during lunch and got premade sushi. Decided to get a tray and wow! Almost no sushi, super small amounts covered in alot of spicy sauce. Note to self, never buying another tray here. Also, tasteless sushi, like the rice was made yesterday. Basical, no fish and alot of rice. : (
Good sushi and friendly staff! They have ready made rolls that you can grab and go, or they can make other foods made to order. They have a lot of different variety of rolls to choose from as well.
Good price, clean, fresh, well handled fish and good rice. I Am Always Impressed.
Good prices ,friendly staff,delicious sushi
Very good food at a reasonable price and fast
Delicious, Clean atmosphere, Fast service and Food served Hot. Big portion size.
prices arent the best in town, but the staff is diligent, and use gloves. have has some good sushi from this place and will continue to come back.
Great value sushi
Excellent.. Staff is very friendly
Fresh, fast, friendly service but the sushi wasnt very delicious. I would go back if I was in a hurry, but no different from some grocery store sushi sections. The veggie rolls were pretty average.
Sushi here is delicious and always fresh!
Not a big fan of the sushi here, but the people are great. And the seaweed salad is really nice.
Great tasting sushi.
Really really good sushi.
Great place for quick sushi. Friendly staff. Good quality, great value. Although they do have tables and a counter, its not a great place to stay and eat at.
Fast, cheap and really good
Absolutely delicious food and quick service Large portion for the price you pay
Fresh quick and very friendly Highly recommend
My wife & I love it here, nothing fancy but always fresh with great service. This is our favourite Sushi in Nanaimo and has been for many years now.
