A welcoming restaurant with a skilled sushi chef, friendly staff and an amazing menu. The delicious nigiri sushi, agedashi tofu (best I've found anywhere), poke bowls and tuna tataki are my favourites, along with the utterly addictive Korean dishes (dakgangjeong, bibimbap, chirashi-sushi). But the best thing for me is the ambiance - the staff have enormous warmth and enthusiasm, and it makes every visit a pleasure. This truly feels like a home away from home!
A great small and intimate place, which makes it perfect for a neighborhood like James Bay. The service was polite, friendly and attentive. Food was simple yet delicious. My wife and I have been coming here for the occasional lunch and dinner over the years it has been opened, and it never disappoints us.
I don't write a lot of reviews for restaurants but I had to for sushi matsuri. Cute small Japanese restaurant. Their food is always delicious consistently. Rice isn't overpowered with vinegar which is hard to find in Victoria. Very friendly staff.
love this little place. nice menu and lovely fresh fish. mikko roll is especially nice
Best prawn tempura ive had. First time i ever bought the same dish at one sitting. The sushi chicken teriyaki and gyoza were fantastic. Great service.
I feel like I am being unfaithful to my favourite Japanese place in Victoria... But I am in Puerto Vallarta so it doesn't count!
Great place to eat in Victoria!
Wonderful find in Victoria. Great service, professional and friendly.
Extremely friendly staff and consistently good food!
This is one my favourite sushi places in Victoria. Consistently good sushi and very friendly staff!
I could eat here for every meal. I love being a regular at this restaurant. Best sushi in the city by far!
fantastic sushi. my chirashi don was fresh and delectable. and the chef even asked me if I like uni. I LOVE uni! (:
Best sushi, tempura and friendliest staff!! You guys ROCK!!
I loved all the options and I loved the fact that they showed pictures on the menu! It helped a lot to visualize what to get. They had so many options to choose from my family was struggling to pick from all the delicious looking food. When we got served (which wasn’t a long wait) the food looked even better in person and tasted amazing! I would definitely come back here if we ever decide to come to Victoria again!
Extremely fresh sashimi. I was so happy to get Sockeye without as chef choice. Great sesame sauce for rice..they are open on Monday for lunch :). Good local selection of wine and fish.
A local hidden gem and one of my go-to sushi places. Delicious food with fair pricing and the staff are always considerate and friendly! I don't frequent the James Bay area much these days, but I will go out of my way to come here whenever I can.
Wonderful ambiance, service was lovely and the food delicious and fresh! My daughter really loved the photos of the dishes in the menu and found it very helpful!
Great spot for quick food.
Very nice personnel and tasty food.
Miso soup is the same size as in combo.
Went their for a lunch date with my 5 year old and the lunch bento boxes were great quality and value. Sashimi and rolls were fresh and tasty, so were other items and the prices very reasonable. The only downside here is the place is quite small and doesn't have much seating but the service and food makes up for it :)
My new favourite sushi place in the James Bay Area. The atmosphere is nice and the staff is amazingly friendly. Tons of beverage options and free green tea. Who does that?! It’s a great touch and very hospitable. Small restaurant but so so great. We tried most of their signature rolls and they were all fantastic.try it for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
This was really quite fantastic! The food was tasty, fresh and well-seasoned. The rolls were really tight and tasty, I was really impressed. On top of that the staff were so friendly, warm and inviting. I also really appreciated that foods that are gluten friendly and vegetarian are clearly identified throughout the menu or where modifications can be made - nice touch. Prices were fair as were their portions. I would highly recommend going here.
Loved this place! The Philadelphia roll was very good! Along with the rainbow roll and dynamite roll. Staff were also wonderful! I will be coming back! We got the mango and green tea icecream at the end and figured out mixing them was really good!
This was our granddaughter's first experience with sushi and the entire time was momentous! Excellent and courteous staff and delicious food!
