It was a great experience. We came for lunch. Both of our boys are very satisfied. We are a family of four. All of us are full. We spend around $70. Great atmosphere and service. Thank you a lot! Definitely recommend this place!

Nice place. Staff is friendly, service prompt (counter ordering and payment, but they'll bring you your food). Takeout experience is smooth. Had ramen here a few times and been pleased, as well as some donburi bowls. Happy to return

Good general sushi, love the Vegan options - Avo Yam is my fav! Like everything else in this town... prices are on the tad expensive side. Need better communication between staff, and training on the menu. Chick on the phone didn't know what an Inari was--Passed me to co-worker, called me the wrong name, and had wiped all of my order, so had to start again. Not a big deal, just a heads up for better service.

Good sushi’s. Friendly and very fast service! Not a luxury sushi restaurant but good quality of sushi. Quick, friendly and nice quality. Perfect for our family of 5 that was hungry 😁😋

My friend and I went to this place after finishing a hike in Squamish on Canada Day. Service was super quick, staff is friendly as always, pricing is reasonable. My friend had a Zen roll, I had salmon avocado and scallop tempura rolls. Everything was tasty, although I particularly enjoyed the scallop tempura rolls as it was crunchy and delicious!

I love this place. It's always my go-to place when I head up to Whistler. Food is good. I had the chicken karage don, portion is pretty generous. Pricing is ok too. Put this in your Whistler itinerary. Oh did I mention there are cool paintings on the wall and they're for sale too!

I went to eat with a friend yesterday, and to be honest, I was disappointed. The front staff was nice, but the kitchen staff had the worst attitude. The people were talking so loud that I couldnt hear the background music at all, and the laughter echoing throughout the store was noisy. And the language theyre speaking isnt English or Japanese, but something like Chinese? The food was delicious, but it seems like this restaurant is ruining the wonderful image of Japanese culture and etiquette, which is a real shame. There are people who want to enjoy their meal in peace, and that kind of commotion is completely unacceptable. The customers around me seemed really bothered, and I felt sorry for the customers and small children who wanted to enjoy their meals quietly. Honestly, I cant believe I would pay to eat in such an environment. The food itself was delicious, so I would have given it a rating of 1, but that was the only saving grace, so I gave it a rating of 2. Are there really store managers or owners? Its a problem if youre not aware of this situation, and an even bigger problem if you know about it and ignore it. I dont want to go anymore.

We only had one set of sushi but it took 20 minutes to prepare even though there werent that many people. Then maybe there were a lot of take-out orders. Except that it was delicious and original. Vegetarian options: Vegan option listed on the menu Dietary restrictions: The same goes for gluten-free options.

Stopped here for lunch today on the way back from whistler with my family, immediately after leaving about 20 minutes I was extremely sick was very dizzy and was nauseous. Still feel very unwell I do not recommend eating their raw fish there.

We live in the North. We expected or at least hoped the sushi would be great here. Sadly, we were very wrong. We ordered gyoza. It was burnt and made with a green wrapper that tasted like a old protein shake. Not good. It seems we have forgotten quality food after covid. They dont have an email for feedback so i am leaving it here.

Noodles and broth for $15 is not ramen. Chicken ramen ? - there would need to be some chicken rather than none. False advertising is an understatement I d suggest try somewhere else.

I was happy with my meal although I could have eaten a bit more. Hungry big eaters are going to need to order more here. Ordered the Tuna Poke bowl. Tea is free and you serve yourself. A bit of a cafeteria style eatery where you order first but they bring your food to you if you are sitting at a table for dining in. Not a date night location, it is a no frills restaurant. It was just what I needed being by myself and wanting a mid point stop and dinner on my way back driving from Whistler to Vancouver. I would likely stop here again in the future if I am in a mood for sushi.

Cheap, fast, efficient, and decent sushi/Japanese food. Its in a good location in Squamish on the way to Whistler, and theres plenty of parking. The place is really busy and kinda small, but theres no table service so everything is pretty fast and the food is ready in 5-10 minutes.

Mediocre may be a compliment for this place. Its clean and staff are friendly but the food was a disappointment. Expect small rolls that are mostly rice, semi tasteless and prices above their worth. The ginger slices were the best part - and they dont even make those. We wont be returning

I enjoyed the sushi but the pulled pork donburi was made with very sweet teriyaki and the gyoza deep fried instead of pan fried . Theres nothing in the interior decoration that says this is a Japanese restaurant. You also have to stand up by the cashier to place your order, sanitize your seat and table before and after eating and bus your table at the end. Why would you put some money on the tip jar?

Your run of the mill Japanese restaurant, will definitely satisfy your sushi craving if you decide to visit. The restaurant doesn t seem to be entirely authentic, as many of the menu items are tailored to a more western pallet, however it is good sushi nonetheless.

December 23, 2020

Almost every time I order takeout they forget to put something in the bag. Tried emailing them after being frustrated 2 times in a row and they never responded. Super unprofessional. I used to go there every other day, now I never want to go back. Additionally, my friend just ordered from them tonight and the girl forgot to hang up the phone and started complaining about her!!!! Absolutely terrible...

★★★★
December 23, 2020

Around dinner time the restaurant fills with people and the small amount of seating is completely full by peak hours, which is a bummer if you do plan on dining in. Service can be a bit slow, but Ive also had my order come twice as fast so it really depends on whos working and how busy they are at that time. However, this is a great place to pick up quick, relatively good quality sushi in a pinch

Mediocre sushi at best. The lines were long inside so I figured this was a good sushi joint. But to my disappointment not only did it lack in flavour and taste, it was rather expensive. There aren t much alternatives to other sushi joints near by. So it makes sense why people flocked to this location. I guess the locals just got used to mediocrity at best.

Honestly worst sushi Ive EVER had. And I am not hard to please when it comes to sushi. My husband and I just ordered 6 Calofornia Rolls and spicy mayo. They dont have cucumbers in them, smelled off. Tasted HORRIBLE! and the spicy mayo was just gross hot sauce mixed with liquid sugar, no mayo whatsoever and inedible. Never ever going back. Wish we turned around and got a refund. The paying system for take out is so slow as well.
