We tried several rolls, and the Chubby Daddy was definitely the standout. It had a great balance of flavors and was easily our favorite. The Lucky Strike Roll was also very good- I think it would be a fantastic introduction to sushi for someone who's new to it or a little hesitant, since the smoked salmon flavor is approachable and familiar. The tempura avocado wasn't quite for us, as it was a bit too mushy, but that's more of a personal preference than a criticism of the dish. We also ordered another roll to share, but it wasn't particularly memorable compared to the others. Overall, the fish tasted fresh and was clearly high quality. Combined with the excellent service and a beautiful patio that's perfect for summer dining, we'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

One of the sakes that my husband ordered was unavailable so the bartender recommended something similar and he was happy with her suggestion, so trust the staff! We had a big lunch at didn't order much food, but I had never had oshi style sushi before so I tried that -- it fell apart really easily, so it was just messy to eat... Maybe I was supposed to use my hands rather than chop sticks, I don't know. I'd probably just get a regular sushi roll the next time.

The platter included oysters, scallops, hamachi, tuna, sockeye salmon, prawns, prawn heads, and squid. Surprisingly the squid was really good, since I am not normally a squid sashimi person, but it was so tender. The oysters were creamy, and the scallops were nice and sweet. The oshi was supposed to come with truffle, but I couldn't taste any. Other than that it was very tasty.

They have a few tables and only one was occupied when I arrived and only a couple people got takeout while I was there. It's not a place you come to for the ambiance. However, the sushi rolls were excellent. My wife had numerous questions which were answered promptly and knowledgably. Our salads (Seaweed and Green) were both excellent. The green salad had a few different types of lettuce, baby spinach, cucumber, avacado, and a very tasty dressing. I was impressed because it wasn't the typical "sushi place" salad I'm used to. The spicy tuna roll was certainly spicy and fresh. The Rock & Roll was amazing. The seared, chopped scallops on top were a great addition to the cucumber, avocado, crab meat, and sauce. The Washington Roll was a little similar with cucumber, avocado, and crabmeat inside, but the fresh salmon on top was delicious. The Awesome Roll again was similar with the cucumber, avocado, and crabmeat inside, but cooked salmon on top, with crispy yam strands on top of that. Excellent presentation and taste. I was a little concerned about trying the place because it had five stars, but not many reviews, and none recent. I'm happy I tried it and recommend it to the locals and visitors as well. (I was visiting Victoria from the US.)

The volcano was cool, as it came torched. It also comes with a lot of tuna sashimi, and I was impressed with this! The curry chicken katsu was quite dry so I would not recommend this dish. The chicken was very thin.

The sushi was phenomenal, but the octopus was on another level. It was so tender it cut like butter and practically melted in my mouth. The cocktails were just as impressive, flavorful and perfectly made, and the staff were attentive and welcoming throughout the entire experience. The indoor dining space is beautiful and really adds to the experience. From the food and drinks to the service and atmosphere, everything was exceptional. An easy 5/5 and absolutely worth visiting while in Victoria.

When I got in, I got seated right away despite it being lunch time. But noticed that the servers decreased their frequency of coming to my corner of the restaurant as time went by so it took a while to get anyone at the end of the meal when it came time to pay since the restaurant is so big and the servers were mainly hanging out at the bar at the end. Food was alright. The chirashi don also included a pile of kelp noodles that were not seasoned. The eating experience would have been better without it. Overall, although it might look small, the special was sufficient for lunch.
