Finally tried this place a week ago after few unsuccessful tries due to line ups. Anyhow, I really enjoyed the food and the... quality of ingredients used to make it, so it's pricey due to the fact! As to the service, the servers were nice and friendlybut, I would appreciated a follow up every few minutes because I waited for my order that came out very late. Conclusion: musttry this good restaurant but expect delays. Read more
It was our first time eating at a Japanese restaurant and we loved it there! The staff was very nice and so was the service.... There were many options for veg, non veg etc. And food was fantastic! Read more
We had friendly service, very little wait for food since we got there as soon as it opened. The sushi was tasty. My daughter... loved her spicy rice wrap. It was all good, though I'd prefer the agadashi be cut into about eight small cubes rather thantwo huge chunks, and I would make the broth more broth then oily. The avocado roll was also quite small, but I guess that isstandard. That said we did all enjoy our meal. I would return. It was a pleasant experience. Read more
Excellent Japanese food and atmosphere Wow! What a pleasant surprise to find this gem of a restaurant. Not only was the food... above average, but the service (Thanks Ky) was so refreshing in a time when service is not usually even acceptable. The Food: Weordered a variety of things starting with a refreshing Sunomon salad and working our way into the rolls and cones. We trieddifferent ones than what we normally order and were very glad we did. Another customer told us on her way out to give the"watermelon" a try and it was the highlight of the night. I had never had a raw roll before but it was fantastic. Several kindsof protein (eel, tuna, & salmon, paired with cucumber, avocado and unagi sauce) made up this colourful sampler roll. All of thefood was fresh, tasty and not overly packed in with rice. Very good quality sushi and sashimi, rolls and cones for theprice. The ice cream to finish was very refreshing too. My faves were the Crispy Philadelphia roll and the Watermelonroll. The service: Our server Ky was attentive, knowledgeable and looking around the restaurant, the staff all seemed happy tobe there. Rare treat these days. It was our first "dine in" in a very long time and they made it veryenjoyable. Organized: From the kitchen to the table turn over, this restaurant has it figured out. We were called when ourtable was ready (from a wait-list) and walked over from our hotel. The walls separating the tables were easily moved toaccommodate any size party and still offer privacy. Super flexible idea!! My takeaway: The next time I'm driving from Albertato the coast, I will be overnighting in Revelstoke just so I can go for dinner here again. Read more

Fresh out of the ocean sushi depp in the mountains. No, you aren't concussed from that last wipeout on Kill the Banker, it is... possible. I showed up here with a small group as a walk in, they were full but said they would take my number and call me in 30minutes to get us in. We toured the Art Alleria (check it out) and 30 minutes later to the second phone rings. The food isunreal! Every roll and I tried was melt in your mouth delicious. I highly recommend the crispy Philadelphia roll, didnt evenknow this was a thing. If you're looking for a good house sake to warm those bones after a day on the hill and fill your bellywith some great good, check this place out. Read more
