Visited Penticton during the summer and was looking for some good spots in town for lunch. We…read morewalked by this sushi restaurants and decided to try them out. They didn't allow dine in however there were two picnic tables outside you can sit. The servers greeted us and quickly got us some menus and water. My partner ordered chicken teriyaki combo and I ordered the spicy pork. The chicken terayaki was delicious, as well as the pork. The portion is huge here, I had to try hard to finish my food.

What a surprise find in Penticton!! A Japanese-run ramen shop!!…read more The menu was contemporary and creative. It even offered a creamy vegan ramen which was AMAZING! It's one of the best ramen broths I've ever had! I'll admit it was a little strange to see cilantro in top of ramen, but it worked. There was also shredded cabbage, negi/leeks, carrots and smoky tofu. The soup was super decadent and creamy with a deep shiitake flavor. I don't know how they got this broth so good but I was sure not to let it go to waste. I finished as much of it as I could. The bf ordered the KOJO Chicken Ramen. The chicken was tender and lightly grilled on the outside for extra umami. There was a nice balance of veggies and the egg was a bit overdone for a ramen egg but was fine for his preferences. We also shared the veggie roll. It was pretty simple and tasted as you would expect. Call it blasphemy but I loved the ramen broth so much I dipped the sushi in the broth instead of shoyu. I stand by my decision. If you live in Penticton, I hope you become a regular here. If you're visiting, you definitely need to reserve a meal here. The food is top notch!

We ordered ramen , beef broccoli and padthai. Its our first time in the restaurant and the server…read moreask us after ordering pad thai if we want beef chicken or shrimp. We tought its a selection of the meat you want with the pad thai. When they serve the food, theres no pad thai but theres a fried rice that we didnt order. We tried to ask the server to confirm if its the pad thai and they said its fried rice. We just wanted to know if the server misheard it from pad thai to fried rice but their server tried to insist that we ordered the fried rice. We are just disappointed about what happened, that she insisted that shes right and we are wrong.

When we let them know we did not care for the phase thai they were very accommodating and took it off our bill.

The potatoes cutlets were nicely done, the panko coating was so light & crunchy, so were all the pork cutlets that comes with the meal. Even though they were deep dried, it wasn't oily & the panko coating was so good. Service was good & decor was clean & rustic - nicely done!

Me and my family are on vacation here in the valley, and me and my aunt decided to get some…read morevegetarian sushi to try (she is vegetarian and fish & shellfish give me stomach aches), so we put in an order for pickup for some of the vegetable sushi rolls (and one futomaki roll, which has egg in it), as well as a teriyaki beef roll for me since I let my aunt have 7/8ths of the avocado & cucumber roll (I'm not a big fan of cucumbers but wanted to give the combo a try). The food was pretty good, and the futomaki ended up being the thing my aunt and me both went for the most. My aunt has never had sushi before, and she really liked it. I can't really think of anything bad to say about anything about it other than the wasabi our order came with seemed to be a bit heavy on horseradish filler and so was a bit harsh on the palate (I bought a tube I saw near the front of the restaurant they had for sale of prepared wasabi which had a much better balance & used it instead), and while the wait time for the order for pickup was a bit long (about 55 minutes), it was actually pretty understandable since there was almost a steady stream of other people popping in & out to grab the pickup orders they placed earlier, so the kitchen must have been pretty busy already by the time we got there. I'm already planning out the stuff I want to order/try next if I have the time this summer to order from here again, so I'd definitely recommend this place.

Just ok. We really wanted to love this place, but it was just average. We had a group of 8 and we…read moremade a reservation, but that was probably not necessary as the place was mostly empty. There was a table of screaming (no joke, screaming) kids on the other side of the restaurant, which wasn't a great start. Our service was good and prompt. The servers were friendly. Our group of 8 ordered a wide variety of items including sushi, tempura, sashimi, and ramen. The sushi was fine, nothing bad and nothing wow. The tempura was the problem area. Several people at the table ordered different tempura items (veggies, soft shelled crab, shrimp) and it was all slightly burned. Tempura shouldn't have dark brown edges and be chewy. I was definitely disappointed with all of the tempura. The pork gyoza were ok but with our hungry bunch, we still left tempura and gyoza on the plate. I know I'm from a big city and spoiled for Japanese options but I still think items shouldn't be burned dish after dish. I would revisit but I would only get sushi items. The wide variety of Japanese items available for purchase in the front of the store are great and I'd definitely purchase from that area.

While randomly walking on the Main Street looking for a dinner place one evening, we saw people lining up to eat and decided to try it out. Oh wow. The food, the ambience and the service all were are incredible. We got the beef pho and my husband who has pho atleast once a week said this is the best he has ever had. The chicken skewers were delicious and moist. Chicken chow mein was light and not greasy as it's served everywhere. The veggies brought in that fresh crunch. We enjoyed it! The chocolate cheesecake was the cherry on top of this incredible meal. It was delectable and indulgent. I will think of it even when I go back to Surrey . This place is definitely worth your visit.
