Sushi Kawa in Vernon

This place has some awesome selection of food. The Kani Kani is so delicious! I hit this place up every time me and my daughter pass through Vernon without fail.

Best sushi in Vernon hands down!

Great sushi and service!!! las vegas roll is my favourite here !!

Logan has excellent customer service skills on the phone and in person. Great sushi and environment, always a busy place.

Excellent food and excellent service. Would highly recommend. Food quality is very good.

All around decent sushi place

Satisfied with every single order. Love their fresh nigiries.

Absolutely delicious and fast service

I Come out of town for the food. Wont get sushi any where else. Prices are not outrageous either.

Love this place, great food, friendly staff, inclusive and supportive. Kid-friendliness: Wonderful staff took the time to teach my son how to use chopsticks. It took a few visits but the regular lessons had him using them like a pro in no time

The spicy Ramen was not very spicy to me. The soup was good tasting

Always great food and service! Keep up the great work!

best sashimi, service, and in sync kitchen staff, they rocked it ! Definitely will be my go-to sushi restaurant Food

Good sushi but service is hit or miss.

Nice place, good food...want to try it again.

Sushi is good quality and very large portions offering good value. The sashimi portions are a little too big though...next time Im going to ask them to slice the pieces in half for a more pleasant experience.

I love sushi kawa, my favorite is the dynamite roll, my only complaint is that I get brown avacado in or on my roll the odd time and it is very obvious because brown avacado has a distinct flavour. I had the veggie roll and caterpillar roll last night which both had brown avacado. The dynamite roll and yam roll were amazing as always!! This was a delivery order and it came promptly about 40 mins after my order, so the service was great.

This is my favorite sushi place in vernon and Ive tried them all. As a sushi lover coming from the coast this is the only place I feel like Im at home eating at. They are amazing with my kids and have a delicious green tea. I love your sushi, and everyone should give them a try ! Kid-friendliness: Kid chopsticks who doesnt love that !

I have 2 vegetarian kids, almost always stop and grab something for them before heading back to kamloops when we are down there. Their favorite is the adegashi tofu(spicy) Food

Fantastic donburi, and yakisoba, with a very generous serving size to go!

Love to see Korean dish additions to your already perfect menu choices! Kimchi rice bowl and Bulgogi roll are my new fav now!! Food : 5/5

Sushi Kawa located right on the street of 97 highway, downtown Vernon. This is the best sushi in Vernon and surrounding area. It is always so fresh, very artistic display. The size of the rolls are just right. Fresh sushi rice and fresh ingredients. The owner is a certified chief and has many years of experience.

Great place 100 percent

Rarely have any complaints, couple of times small things were wrong with order such as not searing nigiri. Only sushi place I will order from in town, as overall a great place.

Sushi was good, only downside is that we used to have ginger, wassabi and soy sauce by default, in this place we have to ask.

Restaurant is Freezing! Staff work hard and are friendly! Prices expensive, and they are not very good at getting everyones orders togeather. We were regular customers but gave moved on as its not fun to eat in the COLD!

Ill note the 4 instead of 5 on service is not their fault, they are a little understaffed, however, those that are there are excellent. The food is top notch, this is one of my favourite places to go in Vernon.

Love your sushi!! went a couple years ago but brought my bf there who doesn t like fish, he ended up liking your sushi and now eats it with me, great atmosphere in there and love the lower lighting.

Went here the night of a winter carnival event when they were crazy busy. We were a party of 4 adults and 4 kids under 5, they were super kind, good-natured and made all our kids little paper dogs when we were leaving. Not only was the service top notch, the sushi was amazing! Seriously good, and good prices too! try it out, you wont regret it. Kid-friendliness: very good

Delicious food, we ordered takeout during our stay at sparkling hill. Food was fabulous and the cost of all our food (apps and main dishes) was equivalent to one persons plate at Peaks! So much flavour and generous portions. We had so much leftover for lunch the next day. Very happy customers would certainly return next time were in Vernon!

our favorite sushi restaurant in Vernon!

Food is always amazing with lots of varieties of rolls.

Small dishes give you great ability to try many different things in one visit

We have tried quite a few sushi restaurants in the Okanagan and Kawa is always amazing. Each time we visit the food is incredible! Absolute bonus that the owners and staff are some of the kindest people we have ever met! Do yourself a favour and try out Kawa if you haven t already.

It is great, I go regularly and its always top notch. Staff are always super polite and helpful.

Awesome place amazing food and a friendly environment

We have come here for years now, ever since it was All you could eat. After the Covid outbreak scare we went back and we enjoyed the food so much but we found after some time the quality of food wasnt as good as it was. We went the other day and again it was some of the Best Sushi we have had anywhere in a very long time! The staff is always nice. It was an extremely enjoyable evening! Definitely would recommend! My apologies that there was no pictures but I will post some next time. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian rolls Wheelchair accessibility: Absolutely no stairs

Tastes bad and my family is still eating when the server came with the bill and said, whenever you are ready. After a few minutes, and we are still eating, same server came with the machine. I think it is rude.

Absolutetly amazing staff, awesome food little expensive however Its well worth it. Amazing atmosphere and just a overall nice place to dine.

Super friendly staff, and delicious food. Always a great stop!!

Really sweet place in town. Good sushi, really nice staff, decent prices, and a nice atmosphere. Its our go to sushi haunt in town.

I would not recommend to anyone.

Gluten free soy sauce.

Fathers day. Took close to 1 hr to get food. Waitress was polite. Sashimi was large size. Crunchy California roll had fallen apart.

Lunch for two of us only 35$

Amazing restaurant!! I ve never been a big fan of sushi, but this experience changed my mind. The service was top notch, the food was phenomenal and the atmosphere was wonderful!! Perfect for a first night in Vernon!!!

Surprisingly good food for such price. Thank you! You are awesome and very affordable. Food

Everything were good, only the squid were too dry. Other were great.

The best so glad I got in the lineup is crazy at times most the time so very happy that I got in

Always great!!! Kid-friendliness: High chair & comfortable Food : 5/5 |

must try the BC rolls!! absolutely delicious!

Best sashimi in town

I don t live in Vernon but whenever I can I always come here! Food is great and servers have always been kind!

Food fresh and excellent Staff should of been coming around us more than once since we were the only people in, most do take out Food

I personally think this place has the best sushi in vernon. I will not eat sushi from anywhere else.

Yummy Suchi!!

Next time make sure my wine glass is spotless or Ill never eat at your restaurant again ....merry Christmas...

Sushi Kawa is our #1 sushi place. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. The service is awesome. The staff are wonderful with our young son (thank you for always having a highchair ready for us!) and really make it an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend if you live nearby or are just driving through.

Our go to place in vernon

Sushi Kawa is our favourite place in Vernon. We have been missing their food greatly and can t wait until they open back up. Best sushi in Vernon.

Incredibly tasty! Would recommend

Always fantastic! Our fave sushi place in town. We miss you!!

They are very friendly and have great staff. I just hoping this expansion from them and us waiting a life time to reopen. That they bring back the ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET AGAIN ID EASILY PAY 30+ PER PERSON FOR THAT HELL YEAH I WOULD HAHAHA

The food was absolutely delicious and the people were very nice!

Sushi Kawa never disappoints, always delicious and the staff is absolutely wonderful!

Really good and fresh sushi. Probably the second best sushi place I ve ever been too. The mango paradise was very good with a tiny hint of spice while being a bit sweet with the mango slices, the rainbow rolls were good and my personal favourite was the unagi rolls, Great tasting sauce and the unagi was perfect. If I ever come to Vernon again this place is a must go!

Omg Im so happy these guys are open again!! I swear theyre even better now then they were before- I didnt even know that was possible. The staff are all really super great too.

One of the only sushi places open on a Sunday. Very busy with a short wait on a table. The staff were lovely and the food was amazing.

Great service and great food!

Good food but often turns off their phone 3+ hours to closing and refuses to take orders when they advertise that they will up to 10 min before closing. Doesn t matter if you want to close but false advertising makes it difficult.

Affordable, delicious, excellent customer service. We had take-out, and my only regret is not discovering this wonderful place sooner.

Impressive restaurant. Quick and very friendly service. Better yet, delicious food and great presentation!

Bit of an awkward start LOL, but very happy with the mango paradise roll & Alaska roll. My other half had a red dragon, beauty & beast roll, and both were very delicious! I was expecting a bit more for beauty and beast as far as flavor goes, but it was enjoyable nonetheless and as its *our thing*, it was fitting for our sushi date

The service and food was good however l take one star as the outside of the business is less than presentable. Time to take that weed wacker and clean up your front yard!

Most unique rolls in town, amazing food experience and adequately priced.

It would be nice and delicious place. But for us, we wanted to order for pickup and they said it would take an hr to get ready so we just canceled. Must be very popular place.

Great service, very happy to fill all our needs. Food was excellent . Highly recommend.

Rave to, Sushi KaWa Sushi KaWa is a culinary gem drowning in a saturated landscape of fast food pop-ups that litter the humble streets of Vernon B.C. When you first walk through the doors, you are greeted by darkened wood accents, and sleek, elegant decor. The aroma playfully dancing throughout the establishment is subtle, and not overbearing or obnoxious. An eye catching cherry blossom tree stands graciously in the centre of the room. It doesnt appear out of place, or tacky its perfect. The staff are attentive, convivial and informative. Its a comforting environment to be within, this makes the process of settling in to visually feast on the menu a much more relaxed and enjoyable experience. The food; in my near forty years of life, I have consumed many plates of sushi and sushi imitations, (even gas station sushi Im not proud of it, but it happened...) Sushi KaWa is hands down one of THE best, if not THE best sushi places in Western Canada! I know, I know... sounds crazy, right? At least hear me out; Sushi KaWa is not egregiously overpriced. Theyre not skimpy on portions, and they dont value flare and theatrics over dining and satisfaction. There are no trendy queues that stretch around the block, its just good old fashioned good eats! This place, 10/10. I stand by that. Its perfect for a first date, and a returning one. And in my case, it was perfect for a special anniversary date. Try the Volcano Roll you wont regret it.

Best sushi in town, always consistent and fresh, highly recommend.

Take out food quality was really good! Service was quick and the staff were incredibly kind to deal with!

Good food well staffed

Delicious food, very nice staff!! Nini, Cochrane, AB

Used to be my favorite Sushi restaurant in Vernon, now it is a disaster. Staff is disrespectful and rude. Many better options in town now.

Expensive In my opinion

Sushi Kawa is the bomb. I miss that gorgeous server... Hehe he she said she was from Belgium... Chocolate never tasted so good... Lol. Seriously the sushi there is top-notch. Ive eaten it over 100 plus sushi places in my life between Vancouver and Edmonton and California... In Edmonton they call it air miles sushi... Everybody at Sushi Kawa works with Art... The product is clean Fair and the extra one or two dollars for whatever youre buying is completely worth it. Been eating there since 2017. I guess you could say Im kind of an OG.. fortnite season 0.

Not impressed, wait time of 50 min on ordering then waited another 20 min longer. Food is the tiniest portions of sushi I have ever seen. And is rather blah

Absolutely amazing food and atmosphere! My favourite place for sushi

I tried a couple of other places in town to see if I was missing out on anything and nope, Kawa is still the best. Very generous portions at good prices. I feel like I get ripped off anywhere else.

A fantastic meal as always at Sushi Kawa! We had a wonderful time, the food was amazing, and it was a wonderful birthday meal for my father with a beautiful suprise Tuna Tataki for my dad! Love love love this place!

Love this place one of my favorite places to go for Asian cuisine

Always great Sushi. My all time favorite place to eat. Food

They have great food and an outstanding online ordering system. Theyre also open on Sundays! They make the best chicken donburi in town, and their karaage is amazing with the provided sauce. They make something for everyone in my family. Full support and recommendation!

Great sushi and atmosphere

Beautiful establishment. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and affordable. Quick service. Whether youre coming for a date night or a family sit down, this place is great. Kid-friendliness: They have training chop sticks!

Pretty good Veggie menu, and not veggie too! I love the Udon and the veggie sushi combo!

So delish highly recommend and the service was absolutely great much love!

Had the Gyoza, Crunchy Cali roll, and Beef roll. Delicious food, fast service (wasnt particularly busy, but still), will plan to go again!

Best Sushi I have ever had and trust me Ive had lots of sushi in my life. Starting from the setting and the presentation which were sublime and the rolls were absolutely delicious. Every bite from their special rolls was like a taste of sushi heaven!

We were given a 20-45 minute wait time which was fair enough since it was a busy night. The hostess took our number and never mentioned that it was first come first serve and that we had to stay in the restaurant to wait for a table until we called to check in on table status. She just ended up telling us we won t be able to get a table after we waited for 30mins.

Always the best!

In my opinion, this is the best sushi in Vernon. Ive tried them all and after moving from the coast 5 yrs ago, I really missed good sushi, until Sushi Kawa. My 12 yr old lives it too.

Best sushi I ever ate

I found good fresh sushi in Vernon! So good and big menu.

Great food and proper adherence to covid restrictions

Great food, easy online ordering and enjoy the discount for ordering online

First time here, just got take out but it was all great!

The food is pretty decent, However some of the servers are awful.

Horrible management- it is not uncommon to see new servers every time you come in because the employee turn over is so frequent. Of course- by horrible management I am referring to the intimidation tactics, the harassment, the yelling, the name calling and the owner holding grudges against the staff. It was not just* myself that broke down crying multiple times; because of something that was said or done. I was ignored for two months and refused to be rescheduled because I got mentally tired of being rejected every morning when I said hello to the boss and got glared at...He held the matter of me not saying hello against myself for months-instead of talking about it. There was never any conversation and it seemed abundant that they just assumed if they just ignored me long enough that id eventually quit- which I did. They also were telling me they would* schedule me if their was room (as I reached out many times checking in on the restaurant)-meanwhile were actually hiring multiple new servers.. Very unprofessional. I was never allowed on my phone although many of the other staff were allowed to be on their phones and were not attacked or shunned for this. The only comment I got was that the only* korean girl that serves, was allowed- because she never got caught... It was not uncommon for their to be a double standard between the kitchen staff and the servers. Addressing the accusation of stealing money, I gave a 10% discount which amounted to about $2-3 MAX and let me say that this is the same discount given for takeout and one I was told we can give to friends and family- which many of the other staff did; regardless it never happened again. Their was also an incident where because of my racial background I was not able to hold any cash over $50 in the summer for a week and the korean girl had to close my tables that paid with cash.. ( far before the stealing incident) more than happy to address any other issues.

Great food and service. Fairly large menu. Love the aesthetic. Would visit there with my family and friends again.

We were able to eat-in for our first experience and it was very good food and service. Since then we have ordered take out 4 times and 3 of those times I was disappointed. Once the Katsu was very burnt, once the salad dressing was too bitter to eat, and now an incorrect order. Im done!

The crazy girl roll absolutely delicious excellent service and food

Great service, clean, and excellent food at reasonable prices. Ill definitely come back next time Im in town

Always delicious and fresh. We love going here for sushi.

Had such a fun time! Great sushi and such friendly staff!

Best sushi Ive ever had... Theyre very creative and I love the crazy girl roll.. Who wouldnt

Great sushi in Vernon! Nice atmosphere and good service.

Delicious fresh food! Tasty house salads to start, four different rolls, with Crazy Girl winning favourites! Rolls are full of goodies, not loaded with rice. I would highly recommend.

Very good

This place is AMAZING!!! The staff are all so kind!! The restaurant is so cute and the sushi is delish!! This is my go to sushi place in Vernon!

Very nice staff, and delicious food. Our favorite sushi place

Love getting sushi here

We order here often and sushi is always fresh and tastes good! Big selection but would be better if the menu was more descriptive of what the different items are, then people would try new items. Our last order took unreasonably long. Over 50 min for a small order on a weekday is not reasonable...

Delishious

We have been to this restaurant twice and love it just as much the second time. Totally worth the drive from kelowna! Will definitely be back.

Great service. Great sushi

One of the best places Ive ever had sushi. Well done!!

Great food and wonderful people.

great food great friendly service one of our favorite places

Always good food!

Excellent experience. Our server was super friendly, menu is pretty extensive, we ordered a number of specialty rolls, short ribs combo, agedashi tofy and everything was just perfect quality.

Best sushi in town, we stop every time were through

Service has suddenly and drastically... disappeared. Showed up last week, restaurant had plenty of people eating there, and the hostess rudely told us they arent doing any more dine in, without explaining why. After leaving we realized we were there some 20 minutes before closure. Would it have killed them to say as much? Just called to order take out, spoke with the same hostess as last week and she said we dont do any more take out. Stunned, I asked why, she replied because we dont and hung up. Weve ordered here once per week for the last 5 months. This place will never get our business again.

Amazing sushi each time!

It Was good

Excellent experience. It was a very affordable and tasty food. I recommend it. The service was also EXCELLENT. Will come back again.

Absolutely a great place for all to enjoy. The sushi was fresh and delicious. More varieties than expected, clean and friendly atmosphere. I would recommend to friends and family.

I ordered sushi platters for a potluck and they were the star of the show! The rolls were fresh and delicious! The house salad that comes with it was incredible. Quite possibly the best dressing Ive had. Kawa will definitely be my first stop, the next time Im in Vernon. I was so impressed with the quality of their food and the friendliness of their service. Well done team!

Best sushi in vernon

Great sushi, fast service

We have been here before and had great service and food. We tried again and waited over 70 minutes for an order that never came. After finally flagging someone down, we asked what happened to the order and the waitress said we werent her table and left. We gave up and left. I get things are challenging in the current situation, but it wasnt a good experience.

Wonderful experience. staff is wonderful, service is both fast and smooth. Lunch and dinner specials are fantastic, both in flavor and price. Strongly recommend the dinner boxes for small groups as they are ample and versatile. Cant wait to be back again :)

I came here for the first time in about five years. I came here once right after All You Can Eat ended, and it was overpriced and didnt taste very good. Today I gave them another shot. Service was super friendly. Both the server and the cashier were great. Everything was continuously sanitized. They have a huge cherry blossom plant in the middle of the tables. It was impossible to not have my shoulders and head hit it when entering and exiting my table. It is super pretty but I know other customers will be annoyed by it. The menu is limited for vegetarians in contrast to other Japanese restaurants downtown. Only 3 types of rolls, yam and veggie tempura, vege spring rolls, and vegetarian yakisoba are your only major options. Soda options were limited to Coca Cola, Coke Zero, and Diet Coke today. I think there was a miscommunication because I saw other sodas in their fridge when I paid for my food. . .or they were unavailable for some reason? I dunno. A root beer wouldve been nice. The food tasted okay. I dunno if it was because I wasnt as hungry as I normally am at Japanese restaurants, but the tempura didnt hit the spot like it normally does. Maybe I just wasnt in the mood for tempura today. I like how they offer 6 vege spring rolls for 4.95. Most restaurants offer just one for that price. Even though the spring rolls are tiny and barely filled, it feels like youre eating more because its six instead of one big roll. The music and decor is very inspired. They have still kept the bells on the tables from their All You Can Eat days. They give you a mini Lindt chocolate on your way out instead of mints. I like that. Overall, 6 vege spring rolls and 6 pieces of assorted tempura, and a reluctant Coke Zero came to 17 bucks after tip and tax. I recommend this place. Feel free to give it a shot!

The food was amazing as usual:)

Great food, the tuna maki was the biggest I ve seen (evening living on the coast for years). Highly recommended if you re in Vernon

Good sushi very Canadian sushi mostly Cali

Our family s favorite sushi in town :)

Sushi kawa is the best sushi in Vernon by a long shot. Usually there is an hour wait time for takeout so plan accordingly. Big flavour and high quality ingredients. Dont waste your time elsewhere only to be let down!

Ordered take out on a busy night and was told it could be 45 minutes. No issue for me as I know great food is worth the wait. Ended up taking less than 15 minutes. Everything was excellent!
