One of the best sushi places in Penticton, their sushi is fresh and delicious. We ordered a few dishes but the highlight was "Boat" which had a variety of sushi and enough for 2 people. Apart from the food, the staff and atmosphere were great. A must try if you are in Penticton

The food was delicious, the service was great, and the price point was very reasonable, especially compared to the overpriced restaurants by the shore of the lake. We strongly recommend you visit this place. It offers both Japanese and Korean cuisine. We wish we had known about this place at the beginning of our trip so we could have gone more often.

As first time in Penticton, this place was recommended by friends. We went there as family friends with total of 14 persons, and they accommodated us nicely and accurately. Different varieties of Japanese food were available and all were great. Staff were friendly and helpful with all our different orders. They have a very nice cherry drink that you should try. We liked this restaurant as all.

I did both dine-in and take-out at different days and both experiences were great. They use different sauce rather than spicy mayo for spicy rolls and I loved it. Very flavorful.

Ordered some ramen and gyoza to be delivered through Skip the Dishes and unfortunately the food was very disappointing. The ramen was bland and flavorless. The gyoza was soggy and seemed overly saturated in oil. There are many better options for Japanese food in Penticton so I wouldnt recommend eating here.

We were driving back to Vancouver after a mini vacation in Westbridge and like clock work I had a craving for sushi. Decided to try this restaurant out and used their online ordering system. We ordered a spicy tuna cone, sashimi, chicken teriyaki roll and one other roll that I cant recall the name of. Our order was ready on time, and a quick transaction with a courteous employee. The rolls and cone were out of this world, with a different spin then Im use to here in Vancouver. No negatives other then pricing, but lets be honest where can you go now a days for an inexpensive meal. Will definitely be back!

Went for a Sunday family lunch. We ordered the veggie/prawn tempura, chicken kaarage, taoyki, kids beef teryaki and the pork tonkatsu ramen w the spicy chili oil addon w a pineapple express cocktail. Everything was delicious, the food came out quick, my cocktail did not come out quick but it was a proper cocktail. The ramen was really good but the spicy chili oil was very mild, like a 1/10 on the spice scale. It seemed kind of dull, dark and boring in there for a sushi bar. Totally would come back.

Best sushi in the Okanagan! Sean is an amazing host and is very friendly and skilled. The staff is super friendly and their service is top notch. The menu is huge with tons of options and they re ALL incredibly good, there s no other restaurant that matches the quality of their food. The Takoyaki is super delicious! The ramen and wonton soups are insanely good, but the best is the sushi! Tons of options and big portions! You can get 24 huge pieces of sushi plus tuna karaage for 20 bucks! The best roll is the Ogopogo imo, super tasty. These guys can t miss

One of my favorite sushi places in town. I came here on a few dates. Very good selection and the combo platters are nice. The sushi was very fresh and delicious. I would definitely come here again. The location is very good too and parking was easy. I would like to try as much on the menu as possible as their meals are very delicious and make great content for Google Maps. The staff are very kind and courteous. The atmosphere is pleasant. Thank you.

Probably the worst sushi Ive ever had. Definitely the worst sunomono by far. The beef teriyaki was inedible. Chopped scallop was quite fishy tasting. Gave two stars for service only because they took 20% off for the bad teriyaki. Will not visit here again. Both my husband and I had mild food poisoning. Such a shame because the venue is nice, in a nice location, and inside was very clean looking. Ill stick to sushi heaven. Unfortunately they were closed today when we went to town.

Ordered take out. Spent 95$ We were told 20-30 min. We came back and waited 10 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us. When we were finally spoken to we were greeted with ya? What do you want? I replied saying we ordered take out and waiting to pick up. She just walked away. I figured it wasnt ready, so I just waited. Another couple came in waited, no service and left. I finally went up to ask again and was told with rolled eyes that out food is right here. Not once did anyone tell us we had to go hunting for our order. When we opened our sushi, it was flavorless and bland. It had an odd after taste. I personally had chicken teriyaki with rice, the sauce was not teriyaki. It was very sweet and not the right flavors to teriyaki. The chicken was extremely dry and tasted like it was a day old. All in all I would not recommend this place. Worst service Ive experienced in along time

This is pretty basic sushi. Everything is pre cut. I got a roll with tempura shrimp in it and that had been fried prior to making the roll so the batter was soft and mushy. Salmon roll was made from slim pickin s. Some of it was mushy. Almost like spicy salmon minus the spice. Low effort, low quality. Slow service.

December 22, 2023

Admittedly it was quite busy. It took us 20 minutes to even get menus from our waitress. Which she only gave to us as she overheard us discussing leaving to eat elsewhere. She took our orders decently fast, I changed mine from the party tray to a basic combo after she told me there would be an extended wait for it. My wife and daughter got their order as I waited for my roll combo. Finally after they were both eating she came over and asked if we were done to which I replied no, I haven t even received my food yet . To which she hurried over to the sushi bar and I over heard her admit fault (not to me but to the cook) and that she didn t even enter my order! As we were already over an hour into this experience I told her to bring me the bill and forget about my food. I was offered a mango popsicle as an apology which I declined also and left hungry and annoyed. My family and I will not be returning.

I ordered some rolls among other items off of skip from here and was thoroughly disappointed and disgusted. i ordered the beef teriyaki and the beef bulgogi rolls and the avocado was mushy, it did not taste like teriyaki sauce on the roll, the sauce was also a little on the clumpy side. i got to the bulgogi roll and about 3 pieces in i found what i am hoping was a beard hair in the rice of the roll. to say i was just disgusted would be an understatement. i lost all appetite and could not finish the rest of my food. i also ordered the beef pho for my father and he said the broth was bland and was over all disappointed. will not be ordering from here again

Everything in the menu is kind of the same. I ordered a lunch combo, specialty roll, nigotoro roll - it all felt like it was one giant roll, no difference in what was ordered. The food was good, but I want to taste the difference in the rolls. The nigotoro roll had too much tuna on top, it was unappetizing, the tuna should just be in the roll, and it would be much cleaner and visually appealing (there was a mountain of tuna mix put on top each piece, which is great to not waste what was mixed up, but too much to serve, the topping shouldnt be bigger than the roll itself. There was too much hot sauce mayo everywhere. Also, order chicken karage, it was delicious! The chef was more attentive than the waitress. The chef came out and gave the kids a treat; he was very kind and warm.

We went in search of sushi. Almost every other place in this small area is closed on Mondays except this one. Its accessible with a ramp at both entrances but the main entrance ramp is steep. The food was really good. The service was awkward but it seemed that a few servers were new so cut them some slack. The prices are higher than were accustomed to but thats what happens when you want sushi more than 100km from the shore Well be back.

I can confidently say this is the best place to get sushi in Penticton! the crunchy spicy salmon roll is my all time favourite. You can tell the owner, Shaun is passionate at what he does for a living! He s always so warm and welcoming and makes our experience extra special. The chefs never fail to impress! They make their food with love It s always a wholesome time coming to Isshin. For the mind and the belly.

I remember moving to Penticton with my girlfriend and trying out all the sushi places, Isshin stood out above the rest, spectacular Food and beyond friendly staff! They make their food with love. Everything we have eaten from there has been amazing, seriously good quality sushi, and the best spicy mayo Ive had. Shaun does an amazing job running that place and its always a joy to see him.

I was recommended this restaurant during my trip to Penticton by a local friend. I had a pleasant surprise with the quality of food (Rolls, Ramen, Udon and Sunomono). I will visit here every time when I am visiting Penticton.

December 22, 2022

Was very excited to try isshin so I got the Tonkotsu ramen and salmon oyako roll, the ramen isn t too bad but sadly wasn t up to my standards, it was very bland, I got the kimchi with it as well but it somewhat tasted like sweaty pork water and the rolls were not good, in 2 pieces I pulled out about 5 or more bones from the salmon, I could only finish one more of the rolls because I kept gagging from the bones and unpleasant taste, I have not had an experience like this with any other sushi or ramen place so im greatly disappointed because I spent 40$ on it, I will stick with kojo/Koya from now on because they are cheaper and have better food.

Take out was so delicious, that I felt the need to review. Their sauces are spectacular. We ordered a ton of items, everything was fresh, perfectly prepared and the tempura was even crunchy despite the car ride home. They did make a mistake with my nigiri order and sent Fish Roe instead of Unagi, so theres still room for improvement, but all in all, I will be ordering here all summer. Thanks for the delicious meal!

UPDATE April 24, 2021 After eating for many years and many many times, watching the original owners grow their sushi business from a Deli front on Main to their location of Front St, our family was a little apprehensive about the new owners that took over. Today was test day. First off, we noticed they are now open straight through from 11am to 8pm as opposed to before where they closed for an afternoon break between the lunch rush and dinnertime. Perfect, we often crave a quick fix for sushi at 3pm after picking up kidlet from school. We ordered our usuals which is their well priced karaages (deep fried), their tempura, California roll, nigiri and tuna and salmon sashimi. We were pleasantly surprised the new owners were obviously trained by the old owners to carry on the traditions, As for the karaage, my daughter and I agree, its the same but a little better than before. I think they refined the seasoning combo a little. Conclusion, we were happy the new owners are careful to not alienate their customer base and we will definitely be back to support them! (2020) This is a great little gem of a sushi restaurant in Penticton. The restaurant is owned and operated by a Japanese family. Their prices are reasonable and they have great bento lunch boxes. Fresh and well portioned. Definitely recommend.

- California Rolls had more cucumber than crab meat I could not taste the crab in some of them - Hot sushi and cold sushi were packed together - Sushi in two seperate packages were squished into the wasabi -Rice was gooey

Our sushi was excellent. Side of Kimchi excellent. Our big complaint was the Katsu. Breading was soggy with whatever sauce/egg thing they just tossed on top. It shows some kind of kitchen disconnect where the sushi is carefully constructed with fine ingredients but the cooked food fell so short. The wait staff was pleasant but I guess they were training new folks and they had a little fiasco which, I suppose, added some awkward entertainment.

Ordered Teriyaki chicken & beef bento box - They used white meat instead of a dark meat chicken. Edo tasted better. Also tried their sushi boat , its ok not much to get excited about. Dont order ceasar (cocktail) as its really spicy and can barely taste tomato. Not an instagramable place as they dont have any japanese booths or anything, its like eating on a dim cafeteria. Servers are nice tho and food were quickly served. Parking: There is a parking space for customers
