Spending a second day in Merritt, BC. After a great day at Nicola Lake, getting back into Merritt,…read morepassed by this Japanese Restaurant and gave it a try! Of course first thing is to order a large Sapporo Beer and then slowly check out the menu. This is a Japanese Restaurant that has a family feel, the seating is typical of a Western Style Family Restaurant with booth seating, sushi bar is housed what used to be a Bar. Decided to have Appetizer to share and 2 dinner items: Appetizer: 1 X Chopped Scallops Nigiri $2.95 1 X Spicy Tuna Nigiri $2.50 Both done well and just hit the spot!! Roll Roll Combo: California Roll, Dynamite Roll, House Roll. For $19.95 you get a fairly generous sized rolls filled with lots of fresh ingredients. Salmon Teriyaki : 3 slices of grilled salmon with a big mount of veggies fried Soba noodles. The salmon were done just right and not over cooked. This is served on a hot plate and that makes the noodles piping hot throughout the meal. $17.95 Being in Merritt, which is not as busy as before when they were hosting the Country Music Festival, back when Country Western Music was at the height of popularity, to have this caliber of Japanese Food here in such a small town takes extra effort for the people running the business and for travellers; it offers an alternative to the typical western style restaurants!!

The katsuo tataki had no katsuo on it. They serve the bakudan with nori when it's a slimy gooey mess and should be served with rice. The katsu had a thick crust on it and it was a small portion. The large bowl of curry with karaage had more rice than curry and only 3 pieces of chicken. Left still feeling hungry. Service was ok. Had to flag down our waitress multiple times.

I got the curry tonkatsu as an entree and the katsu itself was good, but the curry lacked seasoning. It needed more curry flavor. There was also a lot of rice and the rice diluted the flavor of the curry even more. Drinks here are good, we got a sake margarita jug to share and it was very good.

I really want to give them a 3.5. It wasn't the best sushi in the world but it worked…read more Service was decent although you had to order from the server even if you sat at the sushi bar.

Added mixed tempura (large) and 2 Chutoro & 1 more uni nigiri (because they were just THAT good!). All the fish were fresh tasting, and the shrimp tempura were cooked perfectly, not overcooked, the outside crispy...one of the best shrimp tempura I've had in my life...having lived in Japan as a child, living in Toronto for 30+ years, travelled to Japan, Hong Kong, Hawaii etc, I have had my fair share of good Japanese food. If you are looking for good sushi and shrimp tempura, I would highly recommend this place. Just to add to the food, service was wonderful! Will definitely dine there again when we return to Whistler next time! 4.5 rating.

I've never seen that before at any ramen place, but I've always wished I could add it since pork and chicken seems so limited. The broth is very flavorful, especially if you get the spice added which is an absolute must. We came here because we stayed in Creekside to go skiing. So if you stay in the area I highly recommend walking over here!

I got the ramen but I thought it was okay. The broth wasn't rich and a bit too salty. The tofu was over salted as well. Their fried chicken is quite good and I'd recommend trying! Place isn't super but the staff are all super welcoming!

We were trying to decide where to eat and walked around and found this little spot. It is small but…read morewe were lucky that we got here 20 minutes after they opened so there was no wait. We notice more people started coming in after 6pm. The food took awhile but we didn't mind since we were able to enjoy each dish and it gave us time to decide what to order next. We ordered the real crab roll and spicy roll. Like others say, the rolls were small and there wasn't much fish. The roll was good but wish there was more fish. I recommend passing on the roll if you are looking to fill up unless you order a few rolls but the value isn't there. We also order the nigiri. This is worth the money. The fish are fresh and very savory. We ended up ordering seconds. We didn't know that they had blue fin until I tried to order my second set of nigiri and was told they ran out of one of the tuna that I was trying to order. Glad I was able to order the blue fin. My kids tried it for the first time and wanted to order more. Highly recommend the nigiri if you come here to eat. We ordered appetizers as well. My kids ate all the gyoza before I can try one so I guess it was good. We also got the tuna tataki. My kids and I enjoyed it especially with the red condiment. Not sure what it is. The other condiment that came with it tasted like ginger. My wife order the sake margarita and I had a little sip of her drink. The margarita was on point. It was fruity (strawberry flavor) but not too sweet and not sour either. You can taste the sake but not as much which is a good thing if you like a mix drink where it's perfectly blended. If we didn't have to catch our shuttle back, I would have ordered this after my beer. All and all, it was a good dining experience. The food does take some time to come but it's not too long. My only disappointment was how little fish were in the roll. Other than that, the food was good. We didn't try the hotpot since the cost was extremely high where they charge for per person instead of by order. Definitely give this place a try if you like nigiri and check if they have blue fin if you do try the nigiri.

We quickly sat down and placed our order. Both my friend and I ordered the Bog Mountain ramen. It was well worth the price because it has most of the add ons. My friend ordered the miso broth and I got the shoyou broth. Both broth was a bit bland, but understandable because there are additional add ons that could potentially enhance the flavor. Overall, we thought it was decent. The interior decors felt appropriate for the space. There was booth seating that showcase Japanese murals. It looked really cool.
