The platter included oysters, scallops, hamachi, tuna, sockeye salmon, prawns, prawn heads, and squid. Surprisingly the squid was really good, since I am not normally a squid sashimi person, but it was so tender. The oysters were creamy, and the scallops were nice and sweet. The oshi was supposed to come with truffle, but I couldn't taste any. Other than that it was very tasty.

1000000/10 YUM! Usually I would avoid having raw food on trips but WOW I'm coming back here every…read moretime I'm in Victoria without a doubt. We were seated immediately and were presented the coolest menus! We noticed another table had this box of sashimi/skewers and was immediately convinced we had to get it. SHOKADO box, do it. You won't regret it. Our server was lovely and gave us a very warm welcome as it was our first night in Victoria. The vibes were amazing - people were doing sake bombs and having a great time.

Food never misses but service could be better. Pre-ordered my food for pickup at 530pm and food was…read morenot ready until 6pm. The only thing they said was the food isn't ready and would be longer - they were not apologetic in any way (I had preordered the food more than 3 hours in advance), I had also asked for cutlery for 3 and was provided with 2. Other guests came into the restaurant too and were not greeted nor acknowledged. They were chatting amongst each other about how it's odd multiple servers came by and yet no one was able to assist them but the hostess who was nowhere to be found... I'll be back...but only because the food is excellent.

Interesting place highlighting sushi and wagyu beef! I stuck with sashimi this round. As the name…read moreimplies, they offer a wide variety of cuts from the fatty belly of fish. Aside from the standard otoro and chutoro from blue fin tuna, they also had toro cuts from hamachi and albacore. I had to try all the toro cuts and actually I landed on the chutoro being my preferred belly sashimi. The bite of the night however went to the uni sashimi which can always be hit or miss. It was probably some of the best and fresh tasting uni I have had! The hamachi sashimi was also a stand out and actually tasted better than the hamachi toro. Service was actually pretty great and their suggestions (which included the uni) were spot on. Definitely need to branch out to the wagyu next time!

The atmosphere is super chill and nice here, perfect for a date night…read more I really enjoyed the specialty rolls. We ordered the pop corn roll which has deep fried scallops. This was delicious. The volcano was cool, as it came torched. It also comes with a lot of tuna sashimi, and I was impressed with this! The curry chicken katsu was quite dry so I would not recommend this dish. The chicken was very thin.

Good place for sushi as the sashimi was fresh. They have a variety of different types of rolls so…read moreI'd recommend going with a group so that you can try the different ones. They have plenty of seating, the staff are friendly, and the place is clean. It is one of the better sushi/Japanese place in Victoria.

An incredible experience that leaves you smiling when you walk out the door. Marilena is an…read moreestablishment that had already been recognized for several awards, so I went in with high expectations that were met. Our bartender Cole was fantastic, so incredibly friendly and always checking in on us even with the busy load at the bar. Our waitress on a separate occasion, I believe her name was Frances, also incredibly kind and amiable. The rainbow roll, marilena roll, and dynamite roll were delicious, the quality of the fish was incredible. The prawns to split amongst the table were my favorite part of the night, accompanied by a savory beige white sauce (can't remember if it was tahini or hummus) that complimented the marinated prawns wonderfully. The spring salmon was super buttery and flavorful in its respective soy emulsion. The chocolate molten lava cake with the cherry ice cream however was insane!!! Both desserts managed to be airy in nature, the cherry packing a wonderfully tart flavor without tasting artificial. If you're a fan of dark chocolate, you will most definitely enjoy this cake. A must visit for a special occasion in the Victoria area.

We were excited to try this place based on prior reviews and it was very average.

The oysters were the definite highlight. We did enjoy the ambience and vibe.

However we were able to be seated at the bar and it was great nonetheless. Service was excellent, the bartender who also took our order was super nice and gave great recommendations. She even gave us secondary suggestions for food that was out for the day. Inside was pretty lively, good interior and clean. Overall, not too pricy for good quality sushi and seafood. The portions for each roll/ nigiri/ sashimi piece was very reasonable as well. Loved it! A good sushi spot in Victoria! Definitely recommend.

Popped by for a quick lunch…read more They offer a lunch special menu which includes a salad, side dishes and your choice of set entree. Got the chirashi don set. When I got in, I got seated right away despite it being lunch time. But noticed that the servers decreased their frequency of coming to my corner of the restaurant as time went by so it took a while to get anyone at the end of the meal when it came time to pay since the restaurant is so big and the servers were mainly hanging out at the bar at the end. Food was alright. The chirashi don also included a pile of kelp noodles that were not seasoned. The eating experience would have been better without it. Overall, although it might look small, the special was sufficient for lunch.
