Review: Nana Sushi, Nanaimo Nestled in downtown Nanaimo, Nana Sushi is a cozy gem that serves up comforting Japanese fare with a friendly vibe. I stopped in for a casual meal and left feeling satisfied and warm--especially thanks to their standout udon. The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles perfectly chewy, and the portion generous enough to make it a go-to comfort dish. While the sushi was solid, it's the udon that stole the show for me. Service was prompt and welcoming, and the atmosphere had a laid-back charm. It's not flashy, but it's the kind of place you return to when you want something reliably tasty and reasonably priced. Located at 14 Victoria Crescent, Nanaimo, BC (250) 591-0755 Visit their website Overall: Pretty good! I'd definitely come back--especially for the udon. read more

A small little hideaway in the centre of town. Small meaning seating for about 20 guest and not all together. It was good sushi and prompt but I also went when it wasn't too busy. The bento box was nice and sashimi was fresh and teriyaki tasty. Tempura crispy and hot. I nice restaurant if you are staying in town and you need to look for it as not on the main drag. Construction of the road should be better once it's done but a good little place for sushi in Nanaimo. Staff were friendly and courteous. read more

Went to Campbell River for pink salmon fishing and on the way back to Richmond before taking the ferry we had some time for dinner. For sure is a small business owner not like the franchised restaurant. Great food and service in the small remote town on Vancouver Island which is pretty good. I think the cook is Korean even though it's not Japanese, but the ramen are as good as the Japanese one! Portions and prices are not like in Vancouver, huge and great value. Recommend. read more

I had a spicy chicken donburi and a double double roll. Both I was quite satisfied with, what was most surprising is the price, extremely affordable. The service and atmosphere could use use a little work but overall I would definitely recommend if you're looking for some cheap and good sushi. read more

This is a cute little sushi joint. I'd recommend it for takeout, especially if you are in a rush. The prices are reasonable and the service is decent. The ingredients are fresh and the food quantifies as authentic Japanese. I ordered the dynamite and chopped scallop rolls. They were well made and flavorful. I will definitely be back for other items on the menu. If you crave sushi and happen to be downtown, this is a great choice! read more

Solid ramen spot in Nanaimo. Ordered chicken ramen. Broth - rich, savory with a lite saltiness. Noodles - Springy, flavourful and generous portions Toppings - fair amount of fresh fried chicken cutlet Egg - Very yummy ! Perfect yolk. Very busy little establishment but the server was extremely efficient handling the take out orders as well as diners. She made sure to check up on me and refill my tea. Very quick to acknowledge, seat and take order. Overall ramen here is pretty solid and enough to satisfy any ramen cravings in Nanaimo. **visited Oct 9 noon** read more

The food is average was expecting better with the 4.5 reviews. Portions are very small even in covid times. dyanmite roll - watch out they put odd sauce on with crunch that includes soy sauce even after asking for plain. Most disappointing...Terrible customer service to fix issue was argumentative after spending over $100 for the bill. Places might be limited in this city but pick another spot. read more

The most amazing part is there's no lineup. I come from Vancouver having sampled along Robson and Denman streets for twenty years, and as far as the Ramen Museum in Yokohama. You already know what I have to say about Nana Sushi's tonkotsu ramen. read more

Cute little spot with the friendliest service! We ordered take out on a weekday evening and waited maybe 10-15 minutes max, but we were offered hot tea while we waited since it was so cold out. So nice of the lady! I really appreciated this since being from SF my idea of cold is about 50F not 25F! The food was also ridiculous! HUGE portions at a really good price! We got the Bento box A and B and were pleasantly surprised with how much food we got and how piping hot the miso soup was even though we still had to walk back to our hotel with it. The only thing though is that I wouldn't consider it beef don since there was no rice included. This was a little bit of a miscommunication but I was still overall happy with it and it helped me out with the low carb thing i'm doing for my new years resolution so win-win! read more

The service was good but two of our rolls (dynamite and rainbow roll) had way too much fake crab and they were really mushy and made me gag. I suggest to put more veggies in the rolls to make them more crunchy and less mushy. The yam roll was soggy. But the miso was excellent :) read more

Visited Mon July 11, 2016 for dinner Remember the Thirsty Camel? That place closed and Nana Sushi just opened a few days ago. Wow the food here is amazing and deserves 5 stars! Pro - Spider roll - deep fried soft shell crab, avocado and cucumber. Amazing taste and fresh $13 - The 2 chefs pictured here have worked for over 15 years - House salad - amazing and big enough to share $5.50 Con -The patio is nice, but there are unsavoury 'characters' that walk between downtown along China steps. We were interrupted by someone asking for change and someone swearing on the phone better to sit inside. - Tuna and Salman sashimi - the tuna was still frozen, 8 pieces for $10.25 - Not sure I like the name Playboy roll it sounded offensive and didn't order it. Protip Lion King roll - prawn, cucumber, spicy tuna, spicy salmon - wow this tasted amazing $13 Agedasi tofu - 8 pieces of fluffy deep fried tofu, crispy and flavourful only $3.50 Damage 4 items for only $35 pre-tip read more

The tonkotsu ramen is superb, with the rich, soul-filling quality one hopes for. On a rainy night, the best thing I can imagine doing in downtown Nanaimo is ducking in here for a bowl, a couple of draft Sapporo pints, and a cozy think in the warmth of the back room. read more

Thanks yelpers!! This place has awesome sushi at great prices. Had the BC roll, Crunch roll, noodles with beef, and the pork gyoza. We loved every bite! Worth a return visit! read more

Yummy yummy sushi :) the lunch box differs on some days in quality tho. Very nice service and atmosphere. The prices are decent too

Sushi, ramen, bento boxes with tempura...all rolled into one locale right in the center of Nanaimo. The servers are fast and friendly and the food is fresh and so flavorful. Did I mention the atmosphere is fun too? The perfect place for a spicy California roll or a more elaborate Japanese meal. read more

We had our dinner at Nana Sushi and it was excellent. We ordered a Bento box (A-Beef) as well as Beef don. Delicious, nice portions, very friendly staff and reasonable pricing. We will definitely come back while visiting Nanaimo again read more

Best real Tonkotsu pork Ramen noodle soup on the island! Perfectly executed with chasu pork, ajitama marinated egg, springy alkaline noodles, complex velvety pork broth. Also very good maki rolls & bento boxes. After living in Vancouver for 25 years I will admit my standards for food are very high. So I was very pleased to discover these recent transplant's from the mainland offering up such excellent Ramen and Sushi. Good job Nana. read more

amazing sushi! long wait time before we ordered, not ridiculous but definitely more than plenty. also, the portions are fairly small for the price. i have had sushi that is just as good at places that are a bit cheaper. but best in the area and good atmosphere inside read more

Best Ramen and sushi place in Nanaimo port area. Lunch box is awesome too. We go there regularly.

Amazing sushi! Was really looking forward to talk opening since King Sushi sudd let disappeared. The food here is a bit on the pricier side but some of the best quality I've had in a while. Must visit if in Nanaimo. read more

I am Japanese foods lover, so I always visit Japanese restaurant. Here Nana Sushi,I can say the best Japanese restaurant in Vancouver island. I really enjoyed the foods here. read more

This Japanese place is awesome. I'm a picky eater as far as quality of ingredients and flavours go - and I rarely write reviews. The flavours here of their broths are amazing! The tempura udon is such good value for under 10 dollars - you'll be full and satisfied! I've also had spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and crunch rolls, as well as tuna donburi. All of these have been delish! The miso soup and chicken ramen are also amazing! This place should be packed at lunch time! read more

Now located in the space formerly occupied by the venerable Thirsty Camel Café, Nana Sushi is the arrival of a greatly anticipated sushi place in downtown Nanaimo, adjacent to the China Steps in Lois Lane. Nanaimo hasn't had a sushi spot downtown, aside from the less wallet-friendly dinner bistro, Firehouse Grill, since 2009, before the bulk of the remaining businesses vacated Harbour Park Mall to become Port Place. Nana Syshi serves rolls, sides and Bento Boxes, the prices are decent, but running average for Nanaimo sushi. The service was blazing fast and the employees are prompt and polite. The sushi is quite good and I will definitely be back. Their platter prices are definitely a bit breathtaking but I imagine their options and sizes are far more generous than at Nemo, Ai or Tomo. read more

Small portions but delicious, fast and fresh food. It would be nice if they specified which is vegan and gluten free.

Dropped in with the a few friends, and was pleasantly surprised by just how amazing all of the food was. I had the spicy pork don, which was delicious, another had ramen which was great, and then others had assorted rolls. All was really really good, and the service was friendly. read more

Very friendly service backs up some really high-quality Japanese fare. From the Ramen bowl to the soft shell crab roll, Nana is on point.
