“I was in with two friends. Halfway through the meal I ordered a glass of wine that finally arrived as we were finishing our last bite. I told our server, Victor I think, no it was too late I didn't want it. He apologized and took it away but it would have been a nice gesture to let me have it considering it was poured.As always the food was delish and perfectly prepared. As always it's loud and chaotic. Definitely not relaxing.“
“Had a wonderful experience here today. We got all sorts of sushi rolls, mango, unagi, mt benson, etc. My friend had a bunch of sashimi and loved it. The rolls were a mixture of small and tight and larger.The servers were fantastic. Honestly, can’t say enough to emphasize how awesome this place is.“
“Best sushi I’ve ever had. The fish was very fresh. Served beautifully! I have tried every place and this is by far the best. One time I visited the owner greeted me. I told him how much I enjoyed the rice green tea they serve here, he told me it’s a special blend he gets from his home town and he even sent me home with a small amount so that I could enjoy it at home as well! Absolutely delicious! Thank you again.“
“I had an absolutely delightful experience at this sushi restaurant. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive.The sushi was fresh, beautifully presented, and simply melted in my mouth. The chef's special roll was a standout, with a perfect balance of flavors that left me wanting more. The sashimi was equally impressive, with each piece being a testament to the chef's skill and the quality of the ingredients. 100% recommend to eat here“
“I was so stocked to find a real Japanese restaurant operated by Japanese staff in Nanaimo. They are tucked away in the alley behind La Stella which is also my favourite.They offer authentic Japanese food with excellent customer service. I had nabeyaki udon and it was perfect for the day you want to be cozy and very flavourful. They close bit earlier than other restaurants so check their business hour first before you go. They also have some bar seats if you dine in solo!“
“Nemo is my go-to for sushi in its convenient location and open during some days others just aren't! The staff are always so great and make my day! Consistently great food, try their rice bowls, I absolutely love them and it's a great price for lunch on the go!“
“I took my 7 year old there for dinner. she loves California rolls and fried chicken, so I thought this would be a great place to try. we ordered the love platter and a side of Cali rolls- holy smokes, it was so good! there was plenty of food, the presentation was excellent and the service was, too. I would highly recommend our favourite new place!“
“New to Nanaimo and stumbled upon Gaya when I was running errands and I have to say the sushi is amazing! The portion sizes are perfect, great value and soooo fresh! I’m definitely going to be ordering a lot of sushi from here that’s for sure!!! Pictured is the Spicy combo I ordered!“
