Alberni Sushi in Port Alberni

Super delicious sushi! The quality of ingredients used is always great, portioned well and they have a wide range of options for everyone. Id recommend it for sure!

Coming from Calgary, gotta say I had higher hopes for a fishing town. Sushi was very sub par

Love the place. Went there for lunch. Everything Was great - from Sushi ober Ramen to Teriyaki Bowl. Thanks for the service, too!

California roll, 8pc. Tightly rolled, so it wont fall apart. Plenty of Wasabi and ginger chopped to bite size. Beer class perfectly frosted. Nice feature was seaweed soft so it can be bitten off easy. Wondering if other roll types are just as good, I try other time. But for now I trust California roll. Parking: Street beside restaurant or free lot across street at quay.

the most delicious and fresh sushi says the owner of a sushi restaurant in Europe, price quality corresponds ! Thanks

I love the food here! The croquettes are a must have, and I always get the deep fried California roll.

Alberni Sushi is our go to sushi place where I work. We always look forward to our lunches there. Everything I ve tried has been great! Definitely recommend. Vegetarian options: Lots of good vegetarian options on the menu

Love the susi from Alberni Susi, great food and prices! Now Im craving Susi!

Love the sushi here!

This is my favourite sushi place, the food is amazing I recommend the spicy crab tempura roll! The only down side, if there has to be one, is they need a bigger space.

Anytime I order from alberni sushi it never disappoints. I enjoy it at work on my lunch breaks once in a while. Highly recommend this restaurant. Prices are great

super fresh, super fast and delicious!

Unique one of a kind custom rolls, super friendly customer service and they always have great music playing in the background to make those awkward silences on the first date a little less awkward

Best sushi on the island! Great food with extraordinary service. A Port Alberni gem!

It doesnt look much from the outside but... The food is really good and plentiful with impeccable service.

A magnificent discovery! Amazing sushi, generous quantity, reasonable price, amazing and fast service! The Volcano is simply spectacular!

Great sushi at good prices

My husband and I with my special needs daughter went to Alberni sushi around 5:00pm 31st of May 2024 . We are the only customer and ordered edamame with other dishes in that time . We sitting near window table waiting for the food and my daughter stand up to say hi to outside people . ( the owner/ chef gave my daughter dirty look and told my daughter to get down. This is not a family place with children any kind of Disability. The edamame dish brings to table , we are surprised how small size of dish with edamame( maybe only 10 asking over $6 ). We question about it , the owner / chef stop bring rest of food , kick us out! The service and attitude is unbelievable rude ! It s so greedy how much charged for such a small quality! Customer have no right to have questions ?!

Three times in a row they messed up my order and refused to fix it. Will not be returning. Too bad

HORRIBLE FOOD AND OWNER NAMED ALLAN! He messed up our order when allergies were specifically given prior to ordering and confirmed over the phone once we ordered our food. Asked to speak to the Owner Allan and he refused to give a refund or take ownership for the error on his side. He has horrible mannerisms, is defensive and yells at you and his staff. We will avoid this place at all costs. There is no way this business will last if he is there. You will enjoy McDonalds more!

Great food. Excellent selection. One of the best sushi places in town.

Fantastic service and delicious sushi!!

We have ordered from Alberni sushi a few times. Last night s order was very disappointing. It tasted & looked like the real crabmeat roll was made from canned crab. The miso soup did not taste or look like miso. We spent $82 and their was NO wasabi or ginger put in with the order. We won t be ordering from here again!!

Have never been there

Great food, great staff. Love the free delivery option. Thank you for another delicious meal!

I never got to eat there but when I asked if they had a specific food they were very kind and helpful and my friends order from Alberni Sushi so its great.

Changing my review. Went to dine in and it was great. Chef accommodated my partner with a surprise me chefs special, had some really good pieces of fish and rolls for him to try. Very high quality sushi!

have a shrektastic friday AUUEEEHHHHHHHHH

Great sushi

Best sushi place in Port!

Had chirashi and an « October rain » roll. The roll was amazeballs. Excellent food. Thanks!!

Fresh, friendly and delicious

Good food and some vegetarian/ vegan options Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian food Kid-friendliness: Only 1 kid option but my children just eat off the main menu and enjoy the food.

Since new ownership, Ive noticed nothing but problems. Tonight we ordered (regulars) the river couldnt find my house so they decided th3y wont be delivering our food. Unfortunate. Id drive, but one kid is sleeping and have two others. Edit: since you closed, then reopened. I was outside the whole time and would have paid to have you come back, but you didnt even try and told me the driver went to a different address and wouldnt be able to deliver to me.

Every time I go here its fabulous. 3x now. This time Tuna Tataki usually I get sashimi.

Piper is a kind and respectful server.

Super reasonable Prices Good food 10/10

food poisoning

The fish is stunningly fresh, the chefs are deft with their cuts, the food will leave you food drunk. If you are on Vancouver Island this is the place to go for sushi !

ordered and received the wrong thing. i politely asked for it to be remade. the server told me it would take 15 mins, i didn t have time to wait so i asked for a refund, i was receiving dirty looks so i just said never mind and just asked her to put the sauces on the food and i would go. she gave me them in a container for me to do it myself. when i asked her for the dipping sauce i had originally asked for and didn t get, she looked at me like i was stupid. i ve been coming here for years! won t be back. last time something was wrong i got hung up on, i decided to give them another chance but will never go back here.

Good food. Nice prices.

The food was delicious, and the waitstaff was extremely friendly. The food was affordable. The sushi did fall apart easily but I think that added to the goodness of it. Very flavorful. However, I asked the waitress if the food contained MSG and she asked the chef, I heard from the back the chef getting defensive about it and she came back saying chef told her it was a secret, so I believe MSG is contained in the food. Most sushi does but the fact they wouldnt tell you is a problem as some people have allergies to it. But overall it was a nice atmosphere, very kind waiting staff and good food, good portions for what you pay for I think. I would recommend the dynamite rolls, they are larger than the California roll for only a few cents more. Theyre also very delicious and its cooked fish if you arent a fan of raw. The miso soup is only a couple dollars, it is also pretty good, I would rate it 4.5/5. If you are getting a meal and just want sushi, to save you money I suggest ordering 2 orders of one of the regular rolls. I ordered 6 California rolls, 6 dynamite rolls and a miso soup and my total was only 14.75, a good meal price I think.

Good food good prices. Love the yakisoba.

Absolutely love their food. Other sushi places in town upset my stomach but Ive never had that experience here. I ordered their yakisoba for the first time and was NOT disappointed. Delicious, fresh, and theyre on DoorDash.

Lunch specials are a good value and generous portions

The picture I posted is of my deep friend California rolls. As you see there is just rice and avocado... nothing else... I think its missing something..... pretty sad for a 60$ order....

0/10. First time I tried it 1-1/2 years ago it was great. Now it s horrible, I didn t get what I ordered. This mistake made me have to pay over 60$! On top of the few rolls I ordered. I ordered sashimi and got brought way more than I ordered. I was taken back by the amount they brought and looked at it.. (I know right then I should ve said something) I took a bite of the salmon and couldn t eat it. It was cut poorly, tastes awful. The California roll looked as if it was frozen then thawed out. Cut to big aswell. I do NOT recommend at all. At first the service was ok but the second I mentioned there was a problem I got lipped off, given dirty looks, and told that it was my mistake because I tried it so now they couldn t save it. I didn t mind paying the extra 60$ obviously I wasn t thrilled but I didn t care. Just upset I was treated so poorly after I brought up a problem and that the tuna and salmon sashimi was AWFUL! ended up paying 114$ when it was supposed so be a quick nice dinner. Service wasn t good aswell. I recommend alberni sushi up their staff. (You can see how poorly the presentation is in the picture and how musky the California roll looks.)

We just had an amazing lunch. Alberni sushi special combination. Friendly professional service. Fresh delicious food. Always consistent!

Delicious as always most favorite place to eat. Staff and owners very friendly and helpful

We are really happy to have this sushi place available in Port Alberni - all the dishes weve had have been delicious and both the dine in and take out service has been fantastic.

Best sushi I ve had on the island so far! recommend the volcano roll and the bento boxes!

Always a pleasure being at alberni sushi. Super delicious and affordable sushi with a large selection of different sushi, bowls and appetizers! Definitely a go to for me and always nice to see all the staffs friendly faces!

Such a lovely restaurant with a large selection on the menu! Super great staff and amazing conversation with the wait staff. Pretty busy on the weekends but they manage the time so well with just two people making the sushi! Will definitely be back again soon!

Best sushi on the island hands down!!! After growing up on the mainland and being spoiled with fresh authentic sushi most places you go.. then moving to Parksville 5 years ago, there is no shortage of sushi restaurants from Nanaimo to Comox but they ALL are a far cry from fresh tasty sushi we once had at our disposal.. we discovered ALBERNI SUSHI about a year ago and we make the drive every single time.. it is the BEST!!

Service was great and the food presentation was superb. And it tasted amazing, salmon was very fresh and the special sauces actually added flavour instead of a basic mayo. Compares with fancy sushi places in Vancouver!

Update: As I have been sharing my review with everyone I know, I have found many other people who enjoyed the food but quit going or ordering because of the wait staff. End update. I take back my previous 5 star review. I still like the food. However, I won t be back until the snotty waitress is gone.

Hate it i like cook food

This local business has very good pricing, friendly and welcoming staff and some of my favourite sushi in Canada! Food so fresh it s hard to turn down. I loved the preparation and the taste is fantastic. Easy 5 stars!

Love the food! Family favourite.

Fast. I find it pricey compared to metropolis, but standard for the area. Not my favorite sushi experience, but options in this town are limited.

Sushi & service was amazing. Restaurant has poor ventilation, smelled like deep fry or a greasy spoon.

Awesome food and very fresh sashimi.

Excellent food. Excellent service

Love the California rolls

Best Sushi in Port Alberni. Parking: Great parking options on the street or over the road by the river.

Absolutely love the sushi here, always have a great experience and everything is so fresh.

Fresh! And delicious. Good place to stop in for a bite to eat. Large menu.

Great sushi for a really good price.

Place is unreal, always come here when in town

Pretty good sushi and the restaurant is conveniently located in town along the river by the park. I am becoming a regular.

Good food. Nice server. Will go again.

The Quality of food was excellent . Lots of flavor and choices . The establishment is clean and well kept. I ordered and picked up , was a little late from the time I was given to be there. Having realistic times for pickup help will not having people waiting around together. Over all I would eat here again and recommend to friends and family.!

recently moved to Port Alberni from Vancouver and have really been craving sushi... decided to give this place a try and had takeout due to the pandemic which we all know is not as good as sitting in and dining.... all I can say is I cant wait till I can just come in and have lunch dinner or anytime ..... this place is awesome ... amazingly fresh and better value for your money than a lot of places in Vancouver ... I highly recommend you give them a shot ...you wont be disappointed :)

Dining room has recently been renovated and the staff installed barriers and new tables. I felt very safe having dinner one night as the staff followed all COViD 19 protocols. Excellent customer service, delicious food, and lovely ambience. Can t wait to come back!

Amazing sushi !!! Amazing service! I am sold! Every time I eat here I leave impressed!!

Food was excellent but no liquor sales.

Very delicious food, wonderful friendly helpful staff and a really pleasant surprise! Well worth the visit. The Yammy Yummy rolls were my favourite!! Very vegetarian friendly!!

Been there yesterday for dinner and well probably be back soon because the sushi is reeeeally good. Theres quite a wide range of choices at a very fair price. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

I was really impressed with all three dishes I ordered. Everything was very fresh particularly the tuna /salmon sashimi and the presentation was superb. They also dont skimp on giving you wasabi. I order a lot of sushi and this place impressed me.

We highly recommend Alberni Sushi. Absolutely delicious food and plenty of it! The staff, from the telephone reception to the delivery driver are unfailingly polite, positive and upbeat. We so appreciate that!. You shouldnt miss this dining experience! ( Be sure to have the Tiger Roll ). Thankyou Alberni Sushi

GREAT food, quality ingredients and friendly service.

Always fresh Sushi! Very friendly staff, Always feel welcomed!!

Place is small and cozy. Food is really good and fresh. Servers are friendly. Service was spotty. Maybe it was busier than normal, but the service wasnt able to attend to everyone, and seemed to be a bit overwhelmed. Great place to go to when it isnt during the busy times.

Lets start by saying that I loved this restaurant. It was the place I went the most in town. Last night I went and it was busy. I understand how difficult this can be for servers and I empathize. However, that being said I sat and read the menu, put it aside and waited to be asked what I would like... I waited for my green tea... nothing all while the waitress asked tables who were being served by the other waitress if they needed anything. Watched my waitress see others who came in and completely ignored me. Finally I got up and left and wasnt even asked if everything was OK. You guys have lost a customer who came weekly at times and often spent a lot of money. What a shame

If it was just the food and service it would be a 5 star review. The sushi and tempura are always top notch. Tempura cooked and drained perfectly, rice to stuff ratio in the sushi is pretty much perfect as well. Staff is always friendly and efficient. If they say it will be 20 minutes, its 20 minutes. The sit down area of the actual restaurant could use a good cleaning and maintain the cleanliness. That said they have just opened up to post COVID service and are probably just getting that portion of their business figured out. As well it looks like they are doing some renovations so they probably have a lot on their plate. Food is excellent, service is excellent and if they can carry that over into the sit down part it will be 5 stars all the way.

Awesome prices and great selection. Gave 4 stars as I do not advise ordering for delivery. First time I ordered it for delivery it took 1.5 hours and the 2nd (and last time) I did, it literally took 2 hours!

Really good sushi. Friendly staff, good service. Average prices. Everything we got was excellent .

Really good! We had a party of 4, they were fast, and food was fantastic!

Our server was extremely rude, didn t even ask us if we were ready for our order just walked up to our table and waited for us to talk, which was so awkward. And when it came to the bill she complained about having to do some math (since my friend paid half in cash and half on debit), I am very displeased with this experience and most likely will not come back based on customer experience. Food was amazing props to the cooks, that s why I give 3 stars.

Ok seems like hole in wall but that sashimi is fresh and delicious - tempura off the walls - yummy sushi - overall awesome just weird ambiance

The sushi was fabulous. Ive never had a deep fried California roll. A nearby table had it and it looked good so I ordered it with again a never tried asparagras cucumber roll with mango and an avacado roll. It was hard to decide which was the best. Our vegetable tempora hot, lightly dipped so crispy and good. I ordered a beef teriyaki stir fry to go for dinner. Miso soup started the feast, hot and topped with tempora fried onion. Unusual and delicious. We will definitely return.

Best sushi in town. Eat in or take out and sit at the quay.

My absolute favourite place to eat in Alberni. I would love to have this in my town. The inside is more modest, however, the prices are unbelievable; it tastes fantastic; and the service is friendly. Absolutely would go gain and I recommend it to anyone passing by!

It is ok sushi nothing special but it does hit the spot

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and very friendly staff! Never disappoints, & always fresh food. Would definitely recommend to anyone! Its my favorite go to place in Port Alberni. (Would definitely recommend trying the Alberni Roll )

Service was good food was out fast. The sushi was bland. Not sure I would recommend.

Got take out, it was delicious, well packed and still hot by the time I got home. Cant wait to dine in!

High quality sushi, great place to stop on a road trip. Try the monkey brain!

The food is great unfortunately they discriminate I will not be supporting a business that doesn t treat everyone equally

Great staff and service, awesome place to stop for lunch or dinner.

Fantastic food !

Always amazing food at Alberni Sushi.

Excellent. Good prices and good food. Ordered miso soup, nigiri, and 3 rolls. Everything was very good quality and the toro nigiri was to die for. Will absolutely eat here again. Good covid mitigations if you decide to dine in.

Great Sushi!! Highly recommended! Fast service, nice location by the waterfront park.

Excellent sushi , very reasonable prices ,would definitely recommend ,dont change a thing the sushi was perfect

A must stop en route to ukee/Tofino. Some of the best sushi on the island. Great pricing Sadly not licensed though.

Excellent !!! I had the California Roll & Dynamite Roll and Miso soup. Everything was fresh and the roll sizes are big like they should be. I will definately be back to try more. So glad to have more Sushi options in town.

Excellent sushi, fast & fresh with good prices.
