Our Guestbook
“ Visiting Courtney from Vancouver and didn't expect how great this place is! The service was fantastic, and so was the food. The rice was cooked perfectly for me, and all of the fish was fresh. Probably my favourite yam avocado roll (which surprised me, because how much variation can there be, really?), which says a lot about the place. Definitely going to come back next time we're in town! ”
“ Ordered pick up but wished we had come in to it, the atmosphere looks so peaceful and quiet. The entire staff greets you when you enter, all super friendly. The sushi itself was amazing!!! Highly recommended ”
“ Over the best sushi place I’ve ever been! This is my favourite restaurant to go when I’m hungry and in town it has the best waitresses and waiters. The owner is so kind and welcoming to my family and I, they have the best menu and a community\family experience for everyone that goes there. I love this place so much and everybody who works there is so kind. The food is savoury, delicious and delectable, the triple threat is the best ever. This restaurant has the best menu and amazing rolls to offer I enjoy this place so much if I could give them 1000\5 stars I most definitely would. Overall best place I’ve ever been for sushi and food. PERIOD! ”
“ Staff is always welcoming, polite, and responsive. Food is delicious and decently priced, and there is a great selection! Try the takoyaki! Would recommend! ”
“ Vibre Busy weekend and staffs able to manage food and service. Nice smile. Well done Miso soup The miso soup is a down side, little plain. I found no tofu and seeweed! Appetizer Tempura I like it that come with a light batter, crispy finish. I tasted prawn and vegetables without grease. It comes with standard dipping sauce Sashimi I like that they use sockeye salmon. Nice vibrat red flesh and better flavor. Tuna tasted good as well. Nigeria sushi Sushi rice recipe is pretty standard. The rice portion is just right for a bit size. The fillet cut is good size. Width and length and thickness is just right. I was happy that my server asked me about to have wasabi to be tucked inside my sushi I like the restaurant comes with many booth seating and this gave quite a privacy. Washroom is clean ”
“ For those who haven't come here and are considering it, or those on the fence, you need to come here, like yesterday. This place offers amazing vibes, it's bright and has lots of warm colours, and the staff is amazing. They were playing some sort of 2000's pop music hits on the speakers which gave me a nostalgia trip I wasn't expecting but was gladly accepted. The food is amazing. Try the dynamite rolls with real crab, or the beef teriyaki. Out of the park levels of good. Best I have tasted in the Valley for sure. ”
“ This was our second time here and man it was even better than the first. Helen was our server again and she is awesome. We started with the tempura prawns. Hands down the best prawns we have ever had. Amazing tempura skills and cooked in obviously the cleanest deep fryer on the planet. A must order if you dine here. We then ordered a beef teriyaki platter and 2 sets of rolls, the red dragon and the firework. The flavors and freshness on all of these dishes were incredible. The amazing textures and sauces highens the dining experience here. 5 star food for a very reasonable price. This place rivals Tojo's in Vancouver. Well done Keep up the killer work. ”
“ Amazing sushi dinner! We had a "booth" or, regular table with moveable walls on either side. It made for a more intimate vibe. The service was prompt, friendly and professional. I'd recommend this place in a heartbeat! ”
