What a surprise find in Penticton!! A Japanese-run ramen shop!!…read more The menu was contemporary and creative. It even offered a creamy vegan ramen which was AMAZING! It's one of the best ramen broths I've ever had! I'll admit it was a little strange to see cilantro in top of ramen, but it worked. There was also shredded cabbage, negi/leeks, carrots and smoky tofu. The soup was super decadent and creamy with a deep shiitake flavor. I don't know how they got this broth so good but I was sure not to let it go to waste. I finished as much of it as I could. The bf ordered the KOJO Chicken Ramen. The chicken was tender and lightly grilled on the outside for extra umami. There was a nice balance of veggies and the egg was a bit overdone for a ramen egg but was fine for his preferences. We also shared the veggie roll. It was pretty simple and tasted as you would expect. Call it blasphemy but I loved the ramen broth so much I dipped the sushi in the broth instead of shoyu. I stand by my decision. If you live in Penticton, I hope you become a regular here. If you're visiting, you definitely need to reserve a meal here. The food is top notch!

Of course first thing is to order a large Sapporo Beer and then slowly check out the menu. This is a Japanese Restaurant that has a family feel, the seating is typical of a Western Style Family Restaurant with booth seating, sushi bar is housed what used to be a Bar. Decided to have Appetizer to share and 2 dinner items: Appetizer: 1 X Chopped Scallops Nigiri $2.95 1 X Spicy Tuna Nigiri $2.50 Both done well and just hit the spot!! Roll Roll Combo: California Roll, Dynamite Roll, House Roll. For $19.95 you get a fairly generous sized rolls filled with lots of fresh ingredients. Salmon Teriyaki : 3 slices of grilled salmon with a big mount of veggies fried Soba noodles. The salmon were done just right and not over cooked. This is served on a hot plate and that makes the noodles piping hot throughout the meal. $17.95 Being in Merritt, which is not as busy as before when they were hosting the Country Music Festival, back when Country Western Music was at the height of popularity, to have this caliber of Japanese Food here in such a small town takes extra effort for the people running the business and for travellers; it offers an alternative to the typical western style restaurants!!

After spending approx 100$ per order, and ordering 192 times since moving here in 2018, that equals…read morealmost 20 - TWENTY - THOUSAND dollars. In Sushi. I'm a good customer. I tip even when I pick up. Tonight, I'm putting in my order online, which I have done for years and years, at precisely 8:20 pm, and as usual I pick up about 8:45, as has been my mode for years. But tonight - my order is canceled at 8:23 pm as I get a notification "Restaurant is closed". It's Thursday, Jan 8th. Online says they are open until 9pm. I call to make sure it's not a weird holiday, and they answer. Yes - they are open until 9. But they stop taking orders at 8:30. I explain to them that's it is not even 8:30 Now , as we are speaking - and my online order was canceled. The young person on the phone says, 'that's just how it is. But give me your order now over the phone'. Am I wrong to be frustrated that I had already spent 10 mins online choosing from the menu and inputting my choices into the checkout.. another $100 dollar order, to be told to repeat this process while they are 1) still open during the window of receiving orders (before 8:30, tho this news to me), and 2) no apologies, just a reprimand on a policy that hasn't even taken effect at 8:20pm. Not an outrageous order, not a lot - just spendy things. I've always gotten my order in 20 mins, so they would still be open. Anyway - i told her - no - I won't be placing an order over the phone I already spent 10 mins making online and am in checkout. I'm sure this kid doesn't have the ability to fathom someone spending 20k at a restaurant, but I'm sure the managers/owners do. Simple math. Get your policies straight. Fix your online system. Do these things quickly. Your competitor with the same hours are more than happy to take orders at 8:20. Cheam Sushi has had some 'fishy' sushi etc once or twice, but 99.9% of the time they are out of this world, hence my loyalty and hard earned $$$. I would like an explanation why the online system is bouncing back orders at 8:20. I'm frustrated because I was truly looking forward to them tonight, my 1st order of 2026. Not a good start.
