unagi roll ($6.95), Aurora roll ($11.95), tamago nigiri ($2.50/piece)
Dianna H.

Solid spot for Japanese food in Kamloops. My friend and I were on a roadtrip recently and Taka was our first stop. We didn't have a lot of time for dinner, as we wanted to make it to our hotel at a reasonable time. I called Taka to ask whether it was possible to order our dishes ahead of time for dine-in, and they kindly agreed to let us do so. By the time we arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes later, our food was ready and served to us as soon as we got seated. It wasn't crowded on a Friday evening. There were 2-3 other tables occupied (less the half the restaurant) when we arrived. I had two sushi rolls: an unagi roll ($6.95) as well as the Aurora roll ($11.95), which was similar to a Rainbow roll. My friend ordered the veggie yakisoba ($12.95) and two pieces of tamago nigiri ($2.50/piece). We both really enjoyed our food, and thought the price was very affordable. Paid around $45 after tax and tip.

I had a great time eating here for lunch. The sushi was great and the service was fast. Definitely would recommend checking this place out.

The food is so good here! Highly recommended! Have been many times and will continue to come.

Doesn't deserve a star at all.. udon was bland the spicy seafood yam soup was covered with spicy sauce and the gomae salad had a funny smell. Ok if I have to give one star that's the avocado roll and tempura

Couple of cones and a roll

This has been one of the consistently better sushi places in town. Not much for location but none really are in Kamloops. They remodeled recently so the inside looks a bit better and feels larger.

A little heart onion in our miso for Valentine's Day.

Great place for lunch - friendly, casual, good sushi. Pick up a container of their homemade kimchi to take home - yum!

Amazing little Korean place that we sort of just stumbled into!…read more My dad got this fantastic little Spicy Avocado Tuna salad I had a massive hit plate of chicken udon with thick Yakisoba noodles and my mother had a fantastic Bibimbap (we all shared) which is a steaming rice bowl with your choice of meat and a mixture of vegetables with an egg on top! We also got sushi all to share, and needless to say we ordered far too much haha. Also presentation was all ON POINT. Could not recommend this place enough. What a little gem! Will be back with friends. PS service was incredible helpful without seeming overboard (you know what I mean restauranteaurs)

My best friend was here from the coast and we've eaten sushi at numerous restaurants there. Wanted…read moreAYCE so decided to try this one. Mistake! The interior was clean and well lit. We were seated quickly and given our menu papers to order. VERY surprised to find that items that are standard at other AYCE sushi restaurants were a 'charge added' at this one. In addition, many items like chicken karage, were not even on the menue. Given the lack of staff (no blame here-we let it go) it took quite awhile for the server to pick up our order sheets. The Sunomono Salad was the first hint that something might be amiss. It came in a glass cup and the vinegar was yellow. Apple cider vinegar instead of rice vinegar, I think. My friend, who LOVES Sunomono salad couldn't eat hers. Then our items came in dribs and drabs. A California Roll and a couple of Inari (even though the menu said 3 pieces per order, and we ordered X2 (which should have been 6 pieces) we received 2 pieces. Then came the Tempura (sans the 2 prawns that comes with it EVERYWHERE else-prawns were an extra charge) and then the Yakisoba. Finally, the teriyakis come. 2 beef and 2 chicken. Teriyaki? A pile of fried cabbage and onion and 5 measly tiny pieces of chicken and another pile of fried cabbage and onion and 2 pieces of beef. NO TERIYAKI SAUCE!! Even though we both love cabbage, neither one of us could eat all of it. Then there is this-if you do not eat all of each dish, you are charged for that dish separately. So, my friend was charged an extra $5 for her unfinished Yakisoba (more cabbage mixed into lukewarm noodles). We complained about the huge amount of cabbage for each of the hot dishes and I felt that they should have not charged extra for the yakisoba. All in all a very disappointing AYCE lunch. The rolls were fine-nothing special. The Inari was fine. Everything else was sub-standard or non existent and having to pay extra for items that are standard at other sushi restaurants is a money grab. I will never eat here again and I will encourage my friends not to as well.

This place is called "Sushi Royal Tokyo" for those of you who couldn't find the review on Yelp…read more Trying to get them to approve my edits, but in the meantime.. Coming from Vancity, didn't really have much of an expectation for this place, but it ain't bad. It's open on Sunday until 8pm (most other Asian restaurants are closed Sundays). They're run by Koreans, and they use pretty good quality stuff. Their salmon is the redder type, which I believe is because they are the wild salmon? (to my knowledge, farmed salmon have a faded light orange color). That was a huge plus for me, not to mention their sashimi and other sushi are all great. We had their AYCE, and two things to watch out for: 1. Ask the difference between the light and full AYCE dinner menu; they just gave us a sheet of paper, and we chose whichever we want. Ended up we got the more expensive AYCE, I'm guessing the lighter one probably doesn't have sashimi. Who knows. 2. They didn't tell us about last call. We figured it was about time at 7:40 ish, but turns out they cleaned the kitchen already. If you're having a sushi craving, check this place out.

Best sushi food in Kamloops by far had a pleasant experience. The people there were insanely nice…read moreit was calm and steady and didn't feel so in my face had a very pleasant time would recommend going. And I'm definitely going back on skip the dishes, DoorDash or in person.

The hubs had a massive sushi craving on Saturday night, so I went and searched for a place to try…read more Since I've tried so many DT ones, we wanted to venture out and expand our horizons. A restaurant that has been around 10+ years? This restaurant looked promising. We took up the offer of 10% off for pick-up orders over $25. We mulled over the online menu and made the call at 7:29pm. We were told the order will be ready in 25 mins. Ambiance: The restaurant looks like a home on the outside. Inside is clean and spacious, with 3 comfy lounger sofas (and a fish tank) for the waiting area. Decor is quite minimal. Pick-up process: The pick-up process was quite fast. Our order was ready for us by the time we arrived. The hubs dropped his name and our order was handed over (yes, they accept credit cards). The spread: we debated, contemplated and finally shortlisted to order chicken yakisoba, chopped scallop roll, salmon sashimi, and rainbow roll. As we opened our goodies when we got home, we noticed 3 complimentary things: a full order roll on the house, sliced up oranges (like how our mamas cut them), and a miso soup. Taste: this is the part that got us. We found that the rolls and the yakisoba were a bit lacking in flavours, but other than that it was great! The rolls all came in purple-ish rice (not sure what kind of rice this is...) - The rainbow roll was not how we imagined it and it had a lot more rice than we wanted. - The yakisoba didn't have the tangy flavours of other yakisobas we had. The chicken and noodles were a bit overcooked. - The salmon sashimi was fresh and juicy. - The chopped scallop roll had the chopped scallop on top and a california roll on the bottom. The chopped scallops were nice, and tasty. - The roll on the house was basically a fried california roll. It's good, but anything fried tastes good. -For some reason, the wasabi tastes sweet (did they add sugar in there?) -Miso soup tastes good. It was not too salty. Portion: Really good. The rice:ingredients ratio could be better. The rainbow roll has a lot of rice, rendering the ingredients small in comparison. Yakisoba had a good ingredients:noodle ratio (ie, I didn't feel like I was only eating noodles). We received two small cubes of tofu in the miso soup. I didn't see any seaweed. The complimentary things that we received was certainly a very nice touch. Price: For Kamloops, this place is really not bad at all. It is too bad it is far without a car from DT area. Overall: taste was 3/5, portion 5/5, price 5/5. Overall, we give it 4.5/5. With the special touches from the restaurant (even though we are only take-out customers), we bumped it up to 5/5, and will likely come back again.

Didn't get soy sauce in my take out order. Sushi needs soy…read moresauce. Owner said he would take care of my next order. Next order ,he didn't follow through. I let it go n fast forward a few visited later. I m eating a salmon roll piece that had a bone in it. I it got lodge in my gum. I mentioned this to owner only to get 1st there's no bones in the Salmon. 2nd sorry we ll make sure it's de boned properly. I don't get how one min there bone. Then we ll do better? I at got soy sauce that time. I won't be going back with the answers I received when I spoke w the owner.
