By far, my favorite sushi bar in Victoria! I've been coming here for over 12 years, and it has always been the freshest and highest qualify fish and I love the staff! My mouth is watering thinking about it, so I think I'll go ahead and place my order now!

A hidden gem ( next to Beaver Tails ) in downtown Victoria. Get reservations, as this place is very busy! Cheerful staff that are having a good time. I must have seen at least 5 pickup orders during my meal, as it was packed. Recommended by locals for very good reason! Fantastic quality, excellent presentation, and one of the best neighbourhood restaurants. Bbq Unagi is so good!

This small yet quaint sushi restaurant is tucked away on Broughton St in Victoria. They only have wild salmon! Yeah! Prices are reasonable and plenty of people came in to get their takeout. I highly recommend this eatery if you find yourself in Victoria and craving sushi!

I visited this place when it first opened and have returned several times since. Unfortunately, my impressions have remained unchanged. The chirashi don, while well-presented, didn't taste particularly fresh—some of the fish had a rather fishy flavor. The shrimp was overly chewy, almost like rubber, and the tamago was disappointingly squishy and watery. Rice also didn't taste fresh. Service was minimal at best. I’ve heard positive things about their lunch teriyaki, so it seems their cooked dishes might be worth trying, but based on my experience, the sushi could use some improvement.

My work colleague rants and raves of this place all the time and had been bugging me to go all these months. I finally did somewhat reluctantly; I had a one-time unpleasant experience eating here with my dad when I was 16 (my older daughter is currently this age just to give you a time stamp) and had bad diarrhea afterwards, nearly missing my first Young Drivers appointment back in the day. 🙅🏻‍♀️ Food quality is okay. The sashimi is fresh but not that huge deal that it melts in your mouth and you must go here now that I read in other reviews. 🤔 As you can see, the presentation for their large assorted sashimi is very lacking; 15 pieces yes, but of very limited type and for the price? Not a good value to the eye of a sashimi connoisseur. My beef teriyaki was overcooked. They asked how I liked it done, I replied medium rare, but dish was medium borderline well done. Service was there but quite slow; we were given the bill but took a very, very long time for them to come back for the POS. I mean, why bring the bill if you're not ready to accept payment right then and there, and made to wait? 🤷🏻‍♀️ No stomach upset this visit which is a plus but even ordering their two biggest entrees, I left the place hungry still and underwhelmed. I feel this place is overhyped, would only go back here with accompaniment, and would most likely order something completely else on the menu. 🙎🏻‍♀️

I honestly think 3 stars is really generous. I had high hopes based on the past reviews, but its not that good. You need to make a reservation since it's not that big, and the service is slow and indifferent at best. I think we waited for more than 45 minutes for our food and it didn't arrive at the same time. Im thinking take out orders were given priority. The sushi was fine, but the rice was cold. The salmon and new york steak teriyaki were also just okay and served almost western style. The beef noddle soup was bland and didnt taste like anything. Honestly, there are better Japanese restaurants nearby, so please avoid this one.

Clean and small place to eat. Staffs looked professional at what they are doing. The shrimp tempura was great. Crispy outside and soft inside. It was fresh and perfectly cooked. I got the beef and shrimp teriyaki but it was barely anything.. it tasted good but 20 dollars for that ( the photo) is quite overpriced I think.

Trust me when I say, as someone who has lived in Japan and been to many Japanese restaurants in major cities across the world that, this place is not up to par. The food is not cooked correctly.

September 23, 2024

This place is a scam that only white people would like because it is not even remotely related to Japanese food. It s fast food level packaged as the real deal to scam people $25 for a salmon don that was a HUGE bowl of unseasoned white rice (Chinese rice btw) with some unfresh pieces of fish they call don . There was so much cheap rice in there and no seasoning it could have been a portion for a family of 5.

Food for 6: $400ish includes alcohol Pros: easy to find, paid parkade close by, menu selection is your typical sushi place. Service was fast. Prices are fair. Cons: cooked kitchen dishes came out late into the meal. Food for thought: this restaurant has serve the local neighborhood well. It has a fan following and gets busy fast.

Make a reservation, because the fact that our reserved group of 6 (the max theyll reserve for) went on a Tuesday evening and the place was just packed, says it all. Really good food; really good service. If you love sushi, do not miss this opportunity. And if you have celiac disease, just ask for gluten-free options and theyll have you covered. I went there with my gluten-free Meetup and it was excellent. Reasonable prices too, considering the times we live in. A great date-night idea in the heart of downtown. Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie-only choices. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options including soy sauce available.

The atmosphere is quiet and a great layout, not a huge place so at peak times you may have to wait for a table. I ve purchased takeout as well and quality is still superior to other sushi takeout. A favourite place of mine for lunch. The food is top notch, always peak freshness, excellent presentation as well.

Having read glowing reviews about this Japanese restaurant in Victoria, I was excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. The first challenge was the restaurants small size, resulting in a wait for a table during lunchtime. Once seated, we encountered delays in receiving service, which significantly impacted our overall dining experience. We opted for straightforward menu items, hoping for a quick lunch as a lot of time was lost in the wait for a table. I chose the Chicken Teriyaki Don, but to my dismay, it turned out to be rather dry, lacking the expected teriyaki sauce. On the other hand, my dining companions Beef Teriyaki arrived drowning in an overwhelming amount of teriyaki sauce, creating an extreme imbalance between the two dishes. Regrettably, the service was quite slow, and it took a notable 20 minutes for our orders to reach the table. Additionally, our water glasses remained unfilled throughout the wait. When my companion requested a fork due to the excessive sauce on his plate, it proved to be a significant challenge to capture the attention of a member of the wait staff to receive one. In summary, I must admit that the overall dining experience fell short of my expectations. The service and delivery times left much to be desired, and the inconsistency in the preparation of the dishes was disappointing. Consequently, my search continues for a reliable and satisfying Japanese restaurant in the area.

Im picky when it comes to sushi. I tried a few nigiris here, and I found the rice too tightly squeezed, giving the rice hard and dense texture. Nigiri rice should be gently shaped so that the granules barely hold together. It should fall apart when chewed. Their rice was too dense and did not fall apart. Its more like rice ball than a nigiri. As for the neta, the Hotate was nice and fresh, but the toro and ebi were on the fishy side. Chopped scallop was fresh and had nice texture, but the black pepper they added was overpowering.

★★★★
December 23, 2023

Ebizo is the best sushi in Victoria but their customer experience still suffers in comparison to the experience in Japan. Seafood is really solid, tempura was under-done. Last call for food is 7:30 pm which is not reasonable. I guess thats a Victoria issue, but it still feels bad, trying to have an extended night out (and paying the associated premium for it).

Far and away the best sushi in Victoria! The menu selection, quality of ingredients, and attention to detail at Ebizo never fails to impress me. The handmade nigiri and buttery smooth sashimi is out of this world. There are also more exotic dishes for the adventurous types - only place Ive been to in Victoria that has natto on the menu! A great date night spot, Ebizo is within walking distance of most of the attractions in downtown Vic. Built into a heritage building in the heart of Old Town, this place is cozy, with the right balance of traditional and casual. It does tend to fill up fairly quickly so make sure to arrive early.

Different owner, all the goods are gone. The server lied to us when he didnt have a kind of beer we ordered. He brought a different beer to us without saying anything. We ordered another beer from a different lady, and she just said the beer was not what we ordered because the one we ordered was sold out. Anyways, Even apart from this, I really see this place is not as same as a few years ago anymore. The food changed completely. I rather get sushi from a supermarket.

I went and ordered a chirashi don. It was $25, and the portion size was extortionate. Not only that, but the actual fish itself was sour, old and had no taste. It was clear that the fish was frozen, it was ice cold and still wet. The shrimp was sour, and my stomach still feels weird some hours after eating. I believe the only reason this place is open is because of the tourists. Best bet is to go to Sen Sushi.

Cold sushi rice? I visited during my work trip to Victoria. I had high hopes based on reviews. The quality of the fish and service was great, however, the sushi rice for both my maki and nigiri was terrible. It was cold and hard, and very small (for the nigiri). It honesty seemed like, instead of using freshly cooked rice for each piece of nigiri, that they were using premade little balls/pads if rice made the night before and stored in the fridge. Definitely would not go back if this is the quality of rice being used.

Not impressed. Nigiri was mediocre at best, and Ive honestly had better from a supermarket deli. Got the chefs selection for $26 and veggie tempura for $10. Three tiny nigiri, one scallop, one hamachi and one tuna. The roll was cucumber - flavorless. The small bite sized nigiri were totally disappointing. The tempura was greasy and not thoroughly cooked - and had carrots?? (still crunchy too... wth) batter fell off, and squash / pumpkin piece was massive and awkward. Saishi de siago. First and last time Im going to Ebizo.

This is a popular place in Vancouver where you can enjoy Japanese food. Japanese international students may also work part-time. Vancouver is a place where there arent many people who can speak Japanese, so its helpful to have a shop where you can communicate in Japanese, and its also a place where you can feel a sense of relaxation. Although some of the dishes have a slightly Canadian original feel to them rather than pure Japanese food, we recommend this restaurant as you can enjoy Japanese food at a relatively reasonable price.

Takeout from Ebizo: uni sashimi, Alanna cone, smoked duck, and tsunomono. The best.

Blaming Covid for no dine in service is such bad customer service. There are other great places I suggest people try elsewhere.

The BEST sushi in town, just dont tell anyone - its hard enough to get a table! (Assuming they do dine-in again.)

December 23, 2021

I give this an one star because the food is really just meh. All rolls have more cucumbers than rice.(I did not order a cucumber roll) If you really want to see what actually sushi is, avoid this place if possible. Go take a ferry and go to Vancouver for sushi. EVEN TnT is better. They also charge me 2 dollars for green tea. Green tea is almost always complimentary in most Japanese restaurant.

Still so good! I was lucky enough to go there often, 10 years ago. Here I am again on vacation in Victoria and I had the chance to return there. As always, Excellent service! Excellent sushi! The same wonderful team to serve us! We feel at home! Tuna Tataki, Vegetable tempura, Dynamite roll and Negitoro roll, are just some of the delights to eat there!

I have no patience for false advertising to get you in the door. Menu on the outside of restaurant clearly shows the udon soup is $14.50. You get inside and sit down and the same soup is $17!! Explanation is that that is the lunch price, not dinner price. On the outside menu this is NOT clear. We got up and left. Can not support misleading tactic like this. Add to it is how the server suggested to sit us at the worst table in there when we walked in... clearly saving the better seats for a bigger group or another customer. The food may be amazing but you lost us because of this.

Very delicious. Had the 10pc assorted sashimi and the chirashi don. Seafood was very fresh tasting and fairly cut, would not disappoint if you like sashimis. Have yet to try their other items!

Food was great and atmosphere was nice. However when we arrived early for our reservation the waitress said your reservation was 7:30 and you are Early so its not ready yet with a very belittling tone. After we were seated she was busy socializing with different tables and took a long time to come to take our orders. Will not come back again due to the waitress selection of customers she chooses to interact with .
