    The cucumber in my roll was literally just the skin.

    The prawn tempura had maybe 1/5 of a prawn inside. Our server ignored us the entire time. I even waved at her and made eye contact cuz we needed to leave and she looked at me, then went to the iPad. Thought she was getting our bill, but nope she was just ignoring us. This place used to be SOOOO good. I'm so sad.

    A great place for some affordable sushi worth great portions! Came here for dinner and ordered the Nana Sashimi and Sushi box to share. There was a lot that bento box! It includes miso soup, salad, agedashi tofu, tempura, sunomono, teriyaki chicken, yaki soba, dynamite or house roll, 5 pcs nigiri and 10 pcs sashimi. It was more than enough to share. In this recent visit we noticed the yakisoba was extremely salty. We told the staff and they were very appreciative of our feedback and remade the dish for us. Great place to fill up some sushi cravings!

    Amazing and delicious food! Despite coming in near closing time, service was still great and the dishes we ordered were still delicious! Order our first "Oshi" (torched and pressed sushi) with tuna and that first impressive! Ordered chicken karaage for appetizer and ASAHI super dry beer to start! End the night with 3 sushi: drunken tiger roll, double spicy roll, and a spider roll! Must come back and would def recommend this place to anyone!

    Can't believe I never tried this place all these years. I think I have a new go-to for mid end sushi. Don't let the rundown exterior fool you. Parking is available in the nice large East Village lot (Franklin and Kamloops). The entrance is raised several steps with no ramps. Not wheelchair accessible. The dining area looks a bit like something out of an Asian village, with lots of wooden bits. Staff are friendly and very helpful. I decided to splurge and go for the Nana sushi & sashimi bento box. This thing is epic. I just sat and stared at at the amount of food this thing includes. Salad, noodles, agedeshi tofu, beef teriyaki (solid slices, not the cheap shredded stuff) (chicken option as well), tempura, miso soup, sunimono, 10 pieces of sashimi, 5 pieces of nigiri, and 6 pieces of house/dynamite roll. See photo. Personally I could barely finish the thing, but I decided to be strong and succeed. The waitress was impressed, and mentioned that most people have to take some home. As for the quality, it's definitely there. Everything was fresh. The place had a very steady stream of customers, and now I know why. I can feel tears of joy forming while writing this review. Highly recommended.

    We got ubereats from this place and we quite enjoyed it! The fish seemed fresh and the food was prepared very promptly. I would order again!

    Hastings and Nanaimo has some great eats and excellent grocery stores! Sushi Nanaimo is one of my favourite take out sushi in the Vancouver Proper (I like Tentatsu across the street too!). My favourites are their Bento boxes.

    Gangster Roll & Chicken Karaage
    Mia H.

    Came here with a friend around 3 pm, and it was pretty quiet and slow, but it was still a nice experience. :) Service was very friendly and attentive throughout the whole dining experience. We continually got our water refilled and checked up on, and even though my friend and I stayed there for quite a long while chatting, they were still very friendly and nice. We got two items and honestly, the portions were so big, it was more than filling. Great value for the price! The restaurant itself was fairly small but very comfortable. The decor was simple and cute and the bathrooms were very clean. I think this is a great place if you're craving some sushi for lunch!

    It seems like my review somehow didn't post on their Google review so I posted again here. I ordered for takeout and I was so upset that the salmon smelled so fishy and most of the pieces looked dark not orange like it was very old. It was also so chewy not crunchy as it should be. I had to dump it all out because I dont wanna take a risk.

    Prawn and Yam tempura
    Stephanie M.

    I ordered takeout from their online system. Super convenient and user friendly. You can choose the time to pick up as well. They completed it all on time. Ordered the spider roll, awesome roll, prawn and shrimp tempura, yam roll, spicy Salmon roll, chicken don and Unagi don. I would reorder the spicy Salmon roll, tempura, Unagi don and awesome roll. The rest was mediocre. I liked that their special rolls didn't have too much sauce and their portions are decent for the price. But beware you will get thirsty afterwards.

    A hot summer night and in need of some sushi this one has been on my mind a very longtime due to being in the hood. I always wondered how this 'house' was as from word of mouth I heard this was the best one around Hastings-Sunrise, and I am happy to say I agree and can report back that I had a pleasant time here. First off, this one is Korean run, and you always know you get some 'designer' style rolls like the gangster roll... no, I did not have this, but we did order their rendition of the 'Awesome Roll' topped with fish flakes. I thought that other restaurant (holic) was the only one with this... guess this proves otherwise. Also ordered a BC roll combo which came with 2 salmon, 1 tuna and 1 ebi nigiri. All the food came in very long plates, definitely the 'instagram' worthy in presentation and shot with your camera/smartphone... but how were they really? I can say there is no over-rice in terms of rolls here, where everything is very well balanced, and the other thing... all the rolls held their form, where there was very little loose rice, so the sushi masters behind the counter are doing it right. I found their BC roll quite well done due to the amount of salmon skin and the crispyness from it being panfried. It was different that they had imitation crab meat, which wasn't bad. I think next time I will order the Awesome roll with the deep fried yam bits next time, but the fish flakes do make a difference. The nigiri pieces were all done well with nice pieces of protein perfectly arranged on top and the last part.. they gave enough wasabi and ginger slices on both plates. The service was on point, where my tea was topped up quite well. The food never took long to come, and we were there while the restaurant was packed for their dinner run. This place also works like a factory, as you see the people working here zipping around handling the rush of people in here, and take-out. It took me a long time to get out here, I would definitely recommend this place for value if you want sushi in the hood. The location is a little off, but I guess that is also not a bad thing, just look for the weird looking restaurant and prepare for a good meal.

    Gangster roll and Grouse Mountain roll
    Kristie W.

    Love the size of their sushi rolls and their value! They have an extensive list of sushi rolls to choose from including fun ones like the Grouse Mountain Roll and Gangster Roll. Their rolls and sushi in general are cheaper than at a similar restaurant with similar food. I didn't quite enjoy their sashimi, however. I'm not sure if it's about actually about freshness, but the majority of the fish in the Assorted sashimi platter just tasted a bit fishy and not very tasty. Would come back for their rolls though! They know how to make an Alaska roll properly!

    Another day, another sushi spot. Sushi Nanaimo is the latest one for me to try with the Van crew. This is a popular place and prices are very reasonable. Apparently, this place is normally crazy busy so most people prefer to do takeout. We hit the jackpot and came on a rather slow Tuesday night. The menu is massive. Lunch boxes (11:00am - 4:00pm) look like a good deal. Lots of cheap combination rolls too. There's a card on the table promoting their special rolls. Service is solid and they constantly come by to refill your hot tea and water. Food came out impressively fast. - 4x toro nigiri ($1.50 each) and saba nigiri ($1.25 each). Both types were fresh and sooooo cheap! - Red roll ($6.25) - this is M's favourite. He always orders this one. - Deep fried roll ($4.25) - Alaska roll ($4.25) - avocado and salmon. They put this miso garlic sauce on top that's delicious. - Dynamite roll ($4.25) - prawn tempura and masago. - Crazy boy roll ($6.25) - deep fried California roll with spicy mayo and unagi sauce. - Spicy salmon combo ($9.95) - spicy salmon roll, negitoro ($0.70 to substitute) and spicy salmon sashimi. Almost like a poke. Negitoro was good, same with the rolls. Solid combo. Cheap prices and good portions will satisfy your sushi cravings. Best bang for your buck.

    Spicy salmon platter
    Debby D.

    FANTASTIC spot! I had the spicy salmon platter and split the assorted tempura with a friend (who had the assorted maki-sashimi combo). Our food arrived in a reasonable time frame and it was indeed high quality. Dilligent, attentive service. I had a feeling several members of the service and kitchen staff were Korean as they played KPop through the pipes...and I LOVE BTS! I was only a bit peeved that they gave us takeout menus to order from and gave us soy sauce packets even though we were sitting in with my trying to reduce the landfill waste. But I understand it was an anti-COVID measure. Great place and I have now patronized twice...it has become my now-favorite sushi spot!

    Came early for dinner on a weeknight. We were seated immediately…read more The waiter seemed a bit down and the energy was low and not super inviting. Regardless, he was attentive. We ordered plum sake, salmon oshi, veggie okonomiyaki, wild ramp ice cream. There is a note on the menu that the okonomiyaki would take 30 mins to prepare. This was accurate for us. The plum sake was refreshing and tasted like a spiked blend of apple/plum/grape juice. The salmon oshi was delicious. The salmon melted in my mouth, and everything was balanced and flavored pretty perfectly to have a satisfying bite each time. I would happily order this again. The okonomiyaki was just okay for us. There was some variation in texture with the different veggies in the pancake, and the plant based mayo was surprisingly good. The flavor of the pancake though was pretty mellow and one-note throughout. After a few bites it wasn't as fun to eat, and the dish itself was pretty heavy. Would be better as a dish to share with a few others. I was excited about the icecream flavors. The strangest flavor we found was the wild ramp ice cream. The flavor is sweet and creamy with a distinct taste of leek. It actually wasn't bad, but definitely threw my brain for a loop trying to make sense of what I was eating. The serving size was just right for 2 to split. Overall, a solid dining spot with thoughtful plating. The interior is clean, feels upscale, and has big windows at the front that open when it's nice out. Would come again to try some of their other dishes!

The menu seems to have shrunken since then with less options for sushi rolls and is more streamlined to basic sushi, nigiris, and rolls. My boyfriend and I walked in on a Sunday and managed to get sat at the bar seating within an hour of waiting. The restaurant is cozy and there is limited seating so reservations are probably preferred. Since we weren't super hungry, we opted to share a few items and went with staples such as the salmon oshi, bluefin tuna nigiri, and the wagyu udon noodle soup. The bluefin was amazing and melted in my mouth - a close contender considering I was not in Japan. Salmon oshi was standard - I think the sauce on top was a nice change to the usual slices of jalapeño. What really amazed me was the noodle soup. The noodles were hand made and the broth was savoury, deep, and flavourful. We both wanted to slurp every last drop of soup up because it could not be wasted! I also liked the good variety of toppings and would definitely return to have this noodle soup again. If I recall correctly, Kishimoto has always been on the higher end of the price scale but you will definitely receive what you paid for in quality, service, and deliciousness.

My boyfriend and I were in a seafood mood and ordered the following: Seafood Tower: A showstopper. Beautifully presented, overflowing with fresh oysters, chilled prawns, lobster rolls, caviche, and tuna tartar. Everything tasted fresh and ocean-sweet but the lobster rolls buns were getting wet and soggy from the plate to ice condensation - an oversight on presentation logistics. Wagyu Carpaccio: Melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The wagyu was sliced paper thin and had that rich, buttery texture you hope for. The shaved truffle garnishe added just enough flavour without overshadowing the beef. Served with a few pieces of sourdough bread, it was one of my favourites. Roasted Chicken: I know--ordering chicken at a seafood-forward spot felt risky, but it ended up being one of the surprise standouts. Perfectly roasted with crispy skin and juicy, flavorful meat. It was served with a zesty sauce and roasted vegetables and really homey and tasty. Scallops Risotto: Creamy, aromatic, and cooked to that ideal al dente bite. The scallops were seared beautifully--golden on the outside and tender inside. Service was warm and attentive, and the coastal-chic atmosphere made the whole experience feel relaxed but still special. If you're anywhere near the area, Seaside Provisions is worth a visit especially since they have a Happy Hour.
