However suffice it to say that as visitors from Victoria BC where we enjoy some amazingly terrific Japanese cuisine, we were unabashedly surprised by how good everything was given the more remote location of Madeira Park and the affordable pricing on the menu. The restaurant was busy even when it was close to the last call for ordering at 7:15pm but items were served quickly and were called for, hot. The three of us left happy and full. I guess I should confess I loved everything so much I order more before leaving. We appreciated the cold water served in frost glassed on a hot, humid evening.

We finally had to find out what all the hype was about!…read more We kept seeing this Japanese restaurant get top ratings and heard it was really popular in Nanaimo, so we decided to try it for ourselves. Was it actually worth all the hype? We ordered the Sora Omakase Sashimi (8 types, chef's choice) along with a few other special rolls, and the sashimi was the real star of the show. The fish was incredibly fresh and generously thick-cut, with a great variety of premium sashimi. We were impressed by the creativity, generous portions, and presentation. Compared to other sushi places we've tried in the city, the quality and attention to detail here really made a difference. The prices are a bit higher than some other restaurants on the island, but after tasting the food, we thought the quality made it worth it. If you love sashimi, we especially recommend trying their sashimi options. There are plenty of premium choices. The restaurant itself has a modern-chic atmosphere, and it was BUSY. We saw a mix of locals, visitors, and a steady stream of takeout orders. Despite the crowd, our food came out surprisingly quickly, and the quality stayed top-notch. Whether you want a casual sushi night for two or a place to celebrate with a group, the menu has enough variety to please everyone. We came in wondering if the hype was real, and left understanding exactly why it's so popular. Honestly, Nori deserves the 5 stars from us. We're not the Michelin Guide, but we can definitely see why people are talking about it. Food: 5/5 Must Try! Service: 5/5 Kids: 4/5 Presentation: 4/5 Parking: 3/5 Tips: * Reservations are highly recommended. * Walk-ins are accepted, but be prepared for a potentially long wait during busy times. * The menu is extensive, so take your time deciding. * Great option for everything from date night to group celebrations.

It's a pleasantly decorated Japanese restaurant with plenty of tables to accommodate parties of all sizes including a party of one. I ordered: 1) prawn tempura, which was very light and crispy. 2) red tuna tataki, which while billed as an appetizer came well after the tempura and my main dish arrived. 3) Chirashi, all the sashimi in the bowl was fresh but sliced very thin and didn't provide a lot of rice...probably the least substantial Chirashi I've ever ordered at a Japanese restaurant anywhere. Also, the service was uneven and in a lot of ways slow considering the restaurant wasn't full....they did have a steady stream of pick up or to go orders so I guess that's a reason in restaurants service wasn't a priority. While I left the restaurant not feeling hungry, I wasn't satisfied. When I return to Gibsons, I'll try the other Asian restaurants and hope they accept AMEX.
