😠 I honestly don't know what the rave is all about. First off our server was great, he was a blonde young man with yellow nail polish and his customer service was excellent. (Would hire him if I had a resto) Food was meh. Coming from Vancouver, it tastes like budget sushi that you can get from food... People often mention sushi, great, service, Kelowna, restaurant, roll, friendly, love,

    I honestly don't know what the rave is all about. First off our server was great, he was a blonde young man with yellow nail polish and his customer service was excellent. (Would hire him if I had a resto) Food was meh. Coming from Vancouver, it tastes like budget sushi that you can get from food court. The presentation looks good, but taste wise... Mehh.. overpriced but doesn't deliver. I'm sorry but seared toro, isn't the same as blended cat food on top of sushi. Please tell your chef to cook your dam tempuras properly. Get a timer and set it at the right temperature. Some of our tempura were cooked others were raw. Are you guys even using the proper rice for sushi? Would not be back.

    Yikes, what a mistake it was to order here. Quite expensive yet incredibly poor quality. The pork katsu is overcooked and dry as hell, the hand cone is the saddest thing I've ever seen in my life - who cheap out on rice of all things?? Where are the scallops?? And the takoyaki isn't even proper takoyaki, it seems like they tempura fried it and the texture is way, way off. Also, what's with the random lettuce in everything? Get your sushi fix somewhere else, I deeply spending $60 on this meal.

    Best sushi i have ever had in my life right here in kelowna. The staff are super friendly, as well as the environment that Trung, Mr Luke, Ayla and the rest of the staff help keep alive. Keep up the great work!!

    Great local spot in Kelowna. Vietnamese owned- my people! Fast and friendly service, very fresh fish. Great value for what we ordered, especially as I compare to Edmonton sushi prices these days. We enjoyed the Toro Nigiri especially. The assorted sashimi was generous and he even torched the mackerel/saba for us which brought out amazing flavours you don't typically get when served raw. Would definitely stop by again, glad we found this gem on Google and dined here.

    Hands down the worst gyoza and nigiri I've ever had. The gyoza were tiny and extremely overcooked and had no flavor. The salmon nigiri were not fresh at all and couldn't even be picked up without the rice balls crumbling apart completely. I went here instead of my usual place because I had a gift card. I don't know if it's because I got take-out or what but I'm baffled on how bad my food was considering the other reviews here.

    I had moderate expectations given the location and the modest frontage. However, the food, service, and prices were very good. I had the sushi and sashimi bento box others had other bento boxes and all had great reviews.

    Me and my family love west Sakura and have been coming here for years!! Best sushi in town in my opinion. Great service, great food. What’s more to love?

    They happily helped me choose some very tasty options because I don’t really know anything about sushi and seafood yet, their waitress was very talkative and happy to help! Along side with very professional chefs. I’d give this place a high recommendation, a comfy little family owned restaurant, all in all a great dine in or take out restaurant.

    So good! Staff was super friendly and helped me order some GF items for my husband who was very happy with his rolls! 10/10 will definitely be eating here again!

    Don't care about your calories and get all the fried sushi! This is the best place in Kelowna/West Kelowna IMO. Bonus: their veggie roll has a peanut butter drizzle that is fantastic. Have fun :)

    I love this local sushi shop and so glad my friends introduced me to it a few years ago. I am not a seafood eater but that hasn’t stopped me from loving their food. I’ve had the bento boxes, the teriyaki beef and chicken rolls, some great yam, avocado and other veggie rolls, then my friends had me try the Superman roll… and it’s so hard not to get it each time! I love it! Eat in or take out… I’ve even had this for a picnic down at the lake and still - love the Superman roll! Wish I’d stopped to take a picture of the roll this time but I was hungry. It is great. Crispy chicken pieces on top with just a little bit of jalapeños and spicy mayo. It is a great meal. The chefs and staff are always friendly, acknowledging and so nice to speak to. Take out order turn around time is very fast. Food is fresh, tasty. Good quantifies. Great local restaurant.

    I used to come to this sushi restaurant on occasion when I was in university in 2015. The sushi was always great. My partner and I travel to Kelowna quite frequently now from our home in Vancouver, and every time I rave to him that this is the best sushi in Kelowna. The timing never worked out in the past, but this past long weekend we finally made it! We had the Volcano, Sakura, and Ogopogo roll. All the rolls were fantastic and my partner felt like the restaurant was well worth my hype. We have been to many well known sushi restaurants in Vancouver (which we love) and this place is right on par in terms of flavour, and presentation and exceeds in terms of service. So happy to see the quality after so many years is still there! Hope to return again soon :)

    Love, LOVE their sushi. Oh my goodness is fantastic. I ordered the volcano roll. It's a meal all on its own! And I had the Ogopogo roll. Both are fantastic and tasted great the next day too. The service was great as well. Highly recommend!
