I have now been to 3 Sushi places in Oak Bay. This one is a good choice, it has fresh fish and competitive prices. A very friendly owner and staff. A good place for a quick and inexpensive lunch. Recommended!
Really enjoyed it, tried the imperial roll on recommendation of the very friendly waitress, it was excellent, also had a wonderful tako sunamono. Definitely going to try to come here again.
Edit: came again, and was very happy with the service and food. Definitely worth it.
Don't expect fancy , just good food, good service and good prices. Little spot I suspect is family run - resulting in great stuff. Husband had Teriyaki Chicken. He loved it. Generous with the very tender chicken. Best Chicken - he said - he has had on the island. I had the Empress Roll - ate every bite. Nice to have dinner under $20. Would return for sure! Thank You!
Probably the beet sushi restaurant to go in oak bay area. Delicious food with good presentation of the dish. Friendly staff. Highly recommend.
Great sushi!. This place is great for dining in and take-out. They're pretty fast even on days when they are quite busy. Service is alright; however, food is amazing. My favourite sushi roll is the Palm Springs roll and it is my go-to! Definitely would recommend this place!
It has its on and off days. On its good days I must say its really good! The fact they charge for bagged tea is odd but that's their business not mine. I know in future to not order tea. The service is slow so take out is a must if you want to enjoy your food without having to rely on service. The miso soup is powdered! Shocking! I can't eat it since its fish powder!
4 of us just had a really great meal there this evening. We went fairly early, and the service was amazingly quick and the sushi and meals excellent. The Panko breaded oysters were also a new treat and in my mind great value too. Ambiance is nothing to write home about but you know that before you sit down. Great local sushi option for sure! Thanks for being there!
Calamari Roll. Best sushi everrrr
spicy tuna is really good too
calamari roll is so good and specialty and only like 5.50 or so I get it all the time.
Restaurant was dirty, especially bathroom, service friendly, order wrong, didn't replate, food very tasty.
Decent food, smelly bathroom, fair prices, quiet servers need to speak up, WIFI, service was fast for the third time, I give it a 3.2 out of 5.
Love it. Bon Sushi is my go-to sushi place in Victoria because the food is always amazing and the pricing is fairly good. Whenever I go there, I order the goma-ae. it is absolutely delicious and one dish of it is usually not enough so i order two when i go there with other people. The ebi sunomono salad is wonderful, as well as the dynamite roll. they serve a deep-fried tofu roll that I'm a little hesitant to try, but most likely will next time. Service is okay, but it's a very casual place and the food is so great and reliable that the service doesn't really matter for me. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Bon indeed!. I've been to both locations (Royal Oak and Oak Bay) a few times and even though it's the same owners, for some reason I've found the Royal Oak one to be superior (chefs/decor?). The sushi is delicious and they certainly have some of the most creative rolls in town. I still give preference to Ebizo and Shizen in the quality department, but Bon is pretty much in a league of it's own in Victoria with presentation and creativity.
Fresh and delish. It's so disappointed when I go to sushi restaurants and their veggie roll consists of a measly carrot and cucumber inside. Bon Sushis veggie rolls are packed with fresh veggies such as red bell pepper, greens, shitake mushroom, cucumber, carrot, and avocado....mmm!
The best fusion rolls try the baked salmon and or Cali fry roll. Both so good even those that are not a fan of traditional sushi will love these.
Oak Bay Gem. I love Bon Sushi...the prices are terrific and the food quality compares to downtown restaurants that cost more. I love that they offer a twist on traditional sushi with their fusion rolls. Who says you should be exactly like everyone else? No complaints about the staff - they are very friendly and efficient. It gets pretty hopping busy in there - looks like a steady stream of take-out going on so it keeps them on the move, I imagine! My only complaint...paint those walls! A nice red (like the sign) or warm beige and it won't feel like a hole-in-the-wall but more like the gem that it is.
Ok so I gave this place a "Like" however it comes with a big "but". The food is amazing, the prices are very reasonable, and the decor insde is on par for a "hole-in-the-wall" sushi place. The service however is lacking. Every single time I have gone the servers, who look to be 16-18 year old high school students more interested in chatting amongst themselves then to be attentive to customers. If you want service, you have to make yourself heard, otherwise they just flit about. Honestly though the quality of food and speed in which it is made will have me coming back at least. They also have take-out as well, I have yet to try it though.
I'd have to praise this operation for its new fusion innovations in the menu. I sampled more of the “cooked” side of the Japanese cuisine in their sushi, and I have to say: I’ll stick with the classic form instead.
We arrived late into Oak Bay region and feeling desperately hungry. As vegan travellers, it can sometimes be a challenge to find somewhere suitable especially an hour before most restoraunts close. The closest sushi place to us at the time was Bon Sushi so we headed there. We saw it was nearly fully booked for a Monday evening and took this as a good sign the food and service was good. It did not disappoint! The staff got us a table right away, the service was friendly and very fast for a busy night. The food was made fresh and very flavoursome! The combination of the background music and the bustling conversations was a nice vibe. Quaint intimate space that can accommodate Aprox 35 people. I normally have lots of photos to add, but we were so hungry and they were closing soon, we consumed everything within minutes. If you look at others reviews, you will see the food looks (and taste) great!
A bustling sushi spot in the heart of Oak Bay, always busy with people coming in and out. The food is good with impressive presentation, and prices are average.
This is a wonderful place! The food looked beautiful and tasted delicious. Service was thoughtful and well-paced. The environment was calm and restful, even though the place was almost completely full. Can't wait to go again! (We recommend the dragon roll.)
10/10 best sushi place. Always the kindest customer service, great prices & reliable food! Really great vegan options as well.
Went there for sushi with my friend. The sushi was actually good, we tried the spicy rolls. The other dish we got was a ramen, pretty good too. The restaurant is cute, but unfortunately the spaces are a little narrow. The waiter was polite and everything, but there was some miscommunication therefore we got there and they gave us a table: once sat, they told us that there were other people waiting before of us, but nobody warned us or anything so we had to get up, go out again and wait to be called inside. Besides that, the food was good! I hope it was just a one time thing :)
Me and my boyfriend went there around 7:35pm and they close at 8pm and yet they still took us in and served us with kindness, we didn’t feel rush while eating. Their customer service is probably the best customer service we’ve ever had in our whole life. Food was also superb!
One of the best restaurants around when it comes to the quality of ingredients.
When I go out for sushi, I’m usually hesitant about all-inclusive Japanese restaurants that do it all and prefer to go specifically to a sushi-specific joint. But this place was quite the pleasant surprise - on top of many other offerings, they serve some amazing sushi.
The quality of the fish was beaming fresh. The fish-to-rice ratio on all the rolls was just perfect. My friends who got the vegetarian rolls were also quite satisfied.
Great food all around, and really friendly service to top it off. Will definitely be back here - likely one of the best sushi stops around!
Fantastic. Went for lunch. My wife and I ordered a Bento each and one side dish. Everything was delicious and we were stuffed, yet also amazed at how well priced our meal was. Will definitely come here again on our next trip to Victoria.
Japanese hidden gem. I’m a big fan of Fujiya, but I am not currently working in the neighborhood so I stumbled upon Bon Sushi and I am thrilled. I have had lunch twice now and I find it truly delicious. It’s pick up only, there is a bench to sit on outside, the staff is super friendly, service is fast, items are yummy!
Had the bento lunches with my partner. The koroke were delicious.
This is the best sushi I have had in Victoria. The specials roll are not the most exciting but the flavour, quality and amount you get is so worth trying this place. The food is so good and cheaper than many other sushi places. 100% would recommend to anyone looking for sushi in Victoria.
The best sushi roll I had so far try the Red dragon! Great quality of teriyaki beef! Been looking for an authentic Japanese restaurant and they have great customer service as well! Highly recommended visiting all the way from Edmonton AB
Everything was fresh and delicious. I've never had better Miso soup. The salmon Bento was very moist. The garnish wasn't a garnish but actual fresh sweet fruit!
I lived in Japan for years and this is my favorite place in Victoria. The salmon sashimi tastes so similar to what I could get there, and it’s not stringy, it perfectly melts in the mouth. Their rolls are perfection and the miso soup authentic.
Amazing prices, exemplary service, and the best sushi I’ve had in town. If you’re looking for dinner, these people are looking to feed you and your soul.
The food here is outstanding!!! The staff are always so lovely and are amazing at their job!! One of the best sushi places in victoria!!!
Our fave sushi in town!! Great value, amazing quality and always excellent service. We love how they have shifted to such an efficient pick-up option during Covid!
Such a cozy place for an afternoon dinner 😂
They serve dishes really quick and nice, and the food here is super delicious and fresh!
There is only one thing I don’t understand: why is your floor sooooooooo oily and slippery? I almost fell down walking in this restaurant.
Some of the best sushi we’ve ever had. Consistently great food, professional and friendly staff, and clean! Love it.
