We went to Nubo for lunch and ordered a huge amount of things. The nigiri was some of the best I've had in Victoria and in general. The rice wasn't compacted and feel apart in your mouth. The chicken karaage was on point and the tako wasa was incredibly flavored. Finally, the Maguro Explosion (a dish where you cook marinated tuna on a hot rock) left me extremely satisfied. I will definitely be back to try the rest of their nigiri extensively.
The sushi chef talked to us and made us feel very comfortable. He was friendly and even suggested some great options. One of the best sushi bars in Victoria, I highly recommend sitting at the bar. Go here!
Had a quick trip to Victoria because my fiancé has never been, after living in Vancouver and having great opportunities for all things cuisine I must say that Nuno was an absolute delight, a great modern atmosphere and a wonderful fusion style made for a delicious and fun evening. I'm happy to recommend them to anyone heading to Victoria and looking for a great sushi restaurant.
I think I may have died and gone to sushi heaven. Our server was both efficient, attentive and knowledgeable about the types of sushi they offered. The place had a very cool vibe that will keep me coming back for sure.
Wow, this place has it all, great staff, fantastic atmosphere and most importantly the most tastiest food I have eaten for a long time. This was our first time and we will be back for more yum. Thank you
Absolutely adore this place. The food and service is above and beyond. Never regret spending money here. The food is always extremely fresh, and the presentation is phenomenal. My absolute favourite place to get sushi!! My favorite is the mango tango roll.
This place is the best Japanese restaurant in the town! Friendly chefs and waitress, and food will s so well presented and delicious as well! A must go in Victoria

My husband and I love this place. It's some of the best Japanese food we have ever had. We were in Victoria for a week on business and ate here three times! You won't be disappointed.
Just finished my second meal at Nubo and the food was fantastic! I highly recommend the "Big Roll.". Service was quick and polite. Overall great experience.
We had many different sushi place but again NUBO scores!!
This was the best roll we ever ate!

This is literally the best sushi restaurant in Victoria. We came here for a birthday and it was awesome. The food was high quality and was priced on par with other sushi restaurants. Totally impressed and we'll be back for sure!
Amazing food, fast service...the puff daddy was to die for!! Will definitely go back.
One of the best Japanese restaurants in town- even the best one I'd say. The rolls are amazing. Fish is fresh. Service is outstanding!!! � recommending to everyone
Second time here tonight. The food is fantastic, and the service is friendly. I would strongly recommend the salmon crostini, it is delicious.
Unreal! Myself and my roommate came here for dinner after the gym and we came to the conclusion that there was not a bad part of the meal! It was delicious, we had some adventurous food and was so good! And very affordable! We will be back a lot!
The food is consistently amazing and every visit is a good time. Definitely my favourite place for sashimi & sushi in Victoria.
We were told the sushi here was better than Vancouver. I have to say, it was pretty fresh and amazing. The rolls were unique and super flavourful - not too heavy on the rice which I appreciate. The tuna tartare with taro chips was a lovely appetizer. Had the tomahawk roll and it was fabulous. Highly suggest getting there before 2pm on weekdays as they close the kitchen shortly after (even though the website says the restaurant closes at 3pm). We barely made it in time had only minutes to make our food decisions. I would love to go back when it’s less of a rushed experience.
We love the food here. Their services is amazing. They are quite attentive and provide the best services where possible. The atmosphere is great.
Reservation is recommended. We got lucky they had availability at the bar.
We ordered quite a bit of food. The only thing I may not like best is the ramen. The texture is a bit too soft and the bamboo shoots overtakes the miso soup flavour. I loved the tomato curry rice.

After hearing about this place, I gave it a shot. It wasn't as good as I expected. The Takoyaki was soft outside and too mushy inside, it was like the batter had not been fully cooked yet. The Lucky Strike Roll didn't taste as delicious as I thought it would be based on the ingredients listed on the menu. When I ate every single ingredient, the taste was amazing. If I eat the whole roll with all the ingredients together, the taste won't be very well combined. I didn't know why I feel like the rice in the roll tastes and smells more like Jasmine rice than Japanese rice. The sushi rice was slightly mushy. The sashimi was tasty. It was fresh and tasted good. Maybe I should try other items next time.
Nice atmosphere during dinner, we sat at the bar which was fun. Lots of options and everything we had was tasty. The Unagi bowl was yummy, but very hot which made it challenging to eat. We went during the dinner rush without a reservation and got a seat in around 40 minutes. Staff was really friendly.
All the food we ordered is definitely delicious. The sets menu Have tasty and nice side dish (tasty tempura, miso soup, salad,etc). Ika calamary is crunchy and Good taste. All the food is delicious🤤. The staff also Very kind and helpful.

I rarely provide 5 star reviews due to something always being off. Whether that be the food, service, or the environment. But this was impeccable. Very rarely did you find such fluidity and cooperation between serving staff and the kitchen.
The food was very delicious and surprisingly quick. Having fast service is usually a red flag for me, wondering if the food was fresh or made with quality, but without a doubt, it was made well.
Our waitress was very polite and nice to talk with. She always responded to our "thank you" with a "you're welcome" she had the perfect balance of attention and checkups to not annoy people with constant checks but didn't leave you wondering if you were going to be served. It was the perfect balance.
The restaurant is small, which does make the noise travel quite far, on the louder side, but being at the bar was a saving grace as volume seemed to be lower there.
All in all it was a very nice experience and the next time we are in Victoria we will definitely be returning for another meal.
Well executed Japanese tapas: All ingredients and cuts were very fresh, with excellent presentation. Our group sampled a mix of classic and modern rolls with atypical flavors, as well as several small plates. The maguro tartare with taro chips was quite lovely, as well as the kara-age, which was incredibly juicy and tender. Drinks were well balanced and the servers all phenomenal.
Delicious food and great service. We enjoyed some great sushi rolls as well as their unagi bowl. The service was also quick and friendly, despite it being a busy evening for dinner. The food was high quality and I was glad to see they had a few Japanese beer options as well.
This place is bustling! Expect a wait for dinner time. It will take some time to get a seat, order and get the bill as I experienced. So come with a patient attitude. Otherwise the waiters/resses have their hands very full.
Otherwise the food is great! My favorite dish was the tomato curry karage. The curry was mildly sweet and they were generous with the karate. I also recommend the Tofino - an assortment of scallop, shrimp and white fish tempura. It was absolutely delicious: crispy on the outside and so flavorful and tender in the inside.
Came from the mainland for a visit and it was my second time coming here. My partner order the sushi and I order ramen. Food came out very quickly and our server had a good sense of humour. The vibe is always good in here. Definitely worth trying out
What a fantastic meal. Everything and I mean everything was beyond delicious. The portions are large, so order accordingly. The yam croquettes, puff daddy, lunch special (included an app, tempura shrimp and jam, choice of sushi rolls, hot entrees or sashimi options, miso soup, salad, a marinated pork dish…all fantastic. They open at 11:30, by 11:45 it was full with a waitlist on a Saturday. Our server was great and their selection of ciders interesting. A small space with sushi bar and bench seating on opposite walls. We loved Nubo and highly recommend. FYI No reservations.
The best Sushi restaurant in Victoria! I ordered Sushi & Sashimi, Spicy roll, Yakiniku, Poke Don, and Calamari. The salmon and tuna in the sashimi and spicy rolls tasted really fresh. The Poke Don is delicious, the combination of different items in the bowl is perfect, giving unique flavors and textures. The calamari is really crispy and the spicy mayo compliments the calamari really well. I'd definitely come back here again when visiting Victoria!
The only reason service is a 3 is because when we asked to move us to the bar after just having been sat for a minute and not touched anything on the table, while the restaurant was half empty and the bar had only 1 of 10 chairs occupied, we were blatantly told "no moving seats as per policy". Zero reason to enforce said policy in the circumstances we were in. We had the saba and sockeye sashimi, the real crab Nigiri, the big roll, the lucky strike roll, the avo/salmon roll and the totoro roll. All delicious!
Ordered outside our usual, sushi rolls, and it didn't disappoint one bit. Got some ramen and udon... Delicious! Drinks were also fantastic. Only thing is, it felt crowded. Seating and table are all so close together. But doesn't take away from the delicious dinner we had.
Great atmosphere and service. Dinner with my Sister and Brother in-law. Food came quick looking delicious. Totoro Roll was so refreshing, so good, I recommend it!
Thank you!
Delicious lunch! We had the Teishoku lunch and it was beautiful and tasty, as well as a good value. Lunch service was pretty slow, and they were slow to acknowledge we were there. Our two trays were delivered several minutes apart (10 or so).
Nice taste of Japanese cousin. Got my team entertained and saved from hunger. The service is great, food is good - judge for yourself. Have I seen better sushi places - yes, but this one has good pricing, great element of presentation and my team loved it. So - recommended.
The place is busy. You better come earlier around 5:00 pm.
