Incredible food at great prices! The service is always very kind and efficient. All their rolls taste amazing but I especially recommend the Alaska Roll, Yummy Yummy Roll, and Gangster Roll the most. When making pickup orders it’s now super convenient because you can order in advance through their website. Really shows they care for the convenience of their customers. Thank you Sushi Nanaimo for being amazing!
Big portions, affordable prices, and delicious sushi! It's impossible not to love Sushi Nanaimo and there's clearly a reason why they're the best sushi restaurant in the neighbourhood. Their spicy salmon sashimi and special rolls will get you addicted!
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.
Back when Sushi Nanaimo opened their portions were huge and the line ups were long. Spring forward to 2018, their portions are average, just like their sushi. Their cooked foods like tempura and Katsu don saves this review and places it at a solid 4. Their lunch bentos are a good value, however it’s just not like before. Sigh...the overflowing spicy salmon combo are just a memory.
This place had a nice hole-in-the-wall feel but is obviously very popular.
The food was delicious and the presentation was pleasant.
We will definitely go back when we are in the area.
The best sushi in Vancouver.. worth the bus ride down Hastings . Fresh and fast sushi . Great service and dead cheap.. we ate like kings and queens. We would recommend this place.
Initial impression: small but packed and loud establishment, decent variety on menu, hole in the wall place that appears to value quick in-and-out service.
Experience: the food and service were decent and on par with Sushi California. The Alaska roll was almost as good as SC and as I look over at the other tables, the slabs of sashimi appeared to be healthy in size; however, our chicken karaage tasted did not taste very fresh. My favourite part of my meal had to be the 5 pieces of nigiri I had: hamachi, unagi, toro, hotate, and inari. The rice had a subtle hint of vinegar, the way it should be. Unfortunately, they were out of the uni nigiri, which happened to be only $2.50. I mean, c'mon, you gotta try the uni if it's only $2.50. Overall, we were looking to get in, have a quick meal, and get out. Mission accomplished.
Lasting impression: would come back again for a quickie meal or take out. Hopefully they have the uni next time.
As usual, Sushi Nanaimo was packed and we ended up waiting about 10-15 minutes. One thing I used to hate about this place was that their floors were so SLIPPERY. Every time I came, it felt like they greased the floor or I was going ice skating in my regular shoes.
Negitoro roll: The negitoro roll was pretty decent, no complaints about it. Good ratio of toro and onion, mixed well and the toro was nice and soft.
On a recent trip to Vancouver, we were in a rush to have dinner before picking up a family member. My wife did a search and found Sushi Nanaimo which looked to fit the bill. When we walked in the place was packed and they told us it was a five minute wait. Five minutes later we were seated and perusing the menu. The first thought I had when I saw the prices was that the portions would be small. Was I ever wrong! We over-ordered by two rolls. The second thought I had was that the food would take a long time because of how busy it was. Wrong again. Our appetizers and entrees came out in less than ten minutes and everything was delicious and fresh. The Agedashi Tofu was piping hot and the Gangster, Canucks, and Unagi rolls were scrumptious.
Sushi Nanaimo will absolutely be on our list of family favorites. We were all fed with delicious sushi at two thirds the price of a comparable meal in our hometown restaurant.
Amazing sushi at incredible prices! Sushi Nanaimo is an one of kind because they offer delicious rolls and combos at prices you really can't find anywhere else. The Awesome roll and Nanaimo roll are my favourites and the Dinner for two combo is also excellent if you're there with a friend. The service is always efficient and friendly so this my go to place when I'm in the neighbourhood.
