    Bento Box 4

    Our dining experience lasted an hour and a half, with the hour spent sitting around waiting for our food, and watching tables that arrived AFTER us get their food first. The food was only okay, but definitely not worth the hour long wait.

    I've only visited one but was advised this restaurant has recently changed hands and now under new management but the quality of the sushi and service was excellent. Free green tea included with your meal and the vegetarian options were plentiful as well as being creative which was a refreshing change. I had the apple & mango rolls and the vegetable tempura, both were delicious and tasty and would recommend to all. A nice place with friendly staff and felt the price was reasonable. With new owners this place continues serving tasty sushi.

    Nori Japanese Restaurant - Relegation Roll

    We were vacationing on Vancouver Island and came here for dinner when in Nanaimo. We had made…read morereservations a few weeks prior to our trip and I would highly recommend making a reservation if you plan on coming here. The restaurant was packed and the kitchen was hustling. There were so many beautiful and creative dishes passing by our table all night long; if I lived here, this would definitely become one of my regular places to go. The service was quick and friendly. The food was incredible; really fresh and presented beautifully. We had met up with a neighbour who had moved to the area and we ended up staying until the place closed. It was just a lovely evening overall. I would definitely recommend Nori for delicious Japanese cuisine but be sure to make a reservation!

    === 1. VERDICT/VALUE If you've a hankering for Asian…read morecuisine in Nanaimo and there's only one place you could go to, Nori should be one of your top picks! Good food, good service, and in a place with good vibes. === 2. FOOD When dining at lunch, the lunch specials offer incredible value; each option includes 4-piece California roll, small green salad, 2-piece gyoza, 2-piece prawn tempura, a miso soup, and a side dish ("okazu") of the day. Some thoughts: - The portions are decent even if you're hungry! - The prawn tempura (at least today) feel more batter than prawn. - The okazu (at least today) was fried - a fancy spring roll - which is interesting as side dishes in Japan in this context are often fish-based?). - Overall, the food quality is good. Buta Shoga Lunch Special ($22) Shoyu, ginger-marinated pork on rice - a good heart-warming combo as any! Sashimi & Sushi Lunch Special ($23) 6 pieces of sashimi (salmon and tuna) and three pieces of sushi (also salmon and tuna) make this lunch special one of the healthier options on the menu. Chashu Miso Ramen ($18) My little guy loves noodles, even if it comes in piping-hot pork bone broth. Depending on your little one, kids 6 and under in age may need a grown-up to help finish this dish! === 3. SERVICE The place is POPULAR and so be prepared to wait. One the most recent visit during lunch, we were lucky to slide in fairly quickly and the servers were fairly prompt and professional. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's basic, yet has a modern open-view environment with a view of the bar/kitchen from across the restaurant. It's similar in vibe to its sister restaurant nearby (Horang) but the service is better and diners with small children will find more appealing seating options here. Wheelchairs and baby strollers would fit just fine and your chance at finding a place to park in the shopping complex lot outside is pretty decent!

The menu is varied enough with interesting appetizers, my son loves the takoyaki and I always get the spinach gomae. Our favourite rolls are the Popcorn Roll, Lake Forest, and spicy scallop roll.

    After a 30ish min ferry ride and hungry for Asian food, I happened upon Sima, as an Asian…read morerestaurant in the same plaza a few doors down didn't accept AMEX. It's a pleasantly decorated Japanese restaurant with plenty of tables to accommodate parties of all sizes including a party of one. I ordered: 1) prawn tempura, which was very light and crispy. 2) red tuna tataki, which while billed as an appetizer came well after the tempura and my main dish arrived. 3) Chirashi, all the sashimi in the bowl was fresh but sliced very thin and didn't provide a lot of rice...probably the least substantial Chirashi I've ever ordered at a Japanese restaurant anywhere. Also, the service was uneven and in a lot of ways slow considering the restaurant wasn't full....they did have a steady stream of pick up or to go orders so I guess that's a reason in restaurants service wasn't a priority. While I left the restaurant not feeling hungry, I wasn't satisfied. When I return to Gibsons, I'll try the other Asian restaurants and hope they accept AMEX.
