Very very disappointing to say the least. Cheap quality…read moresushi at high end prices. We usually go to Gozen, Yua or Toro in dwtn Victoria but decided to stop here for a quick bite since I had to grab groceries..... Stopped in @11:40am and I wish I hadn't... I ordered the Tempura Udon Soup and a Dynamite Roll... Tempura prawn(a) tasted old, chewy and almost like it was leftover from the day before. I had to ask for wasabi, napkins and water after my meal came, so that alone should tell you about the lack of service I was getting. Udon soup was a joke, the broth was disgusting and flavourless, the soup has 2 pieces of tiny fish cakes broccoli and 2 pieces of mini carrots and that was it... :( I didn't finish either items that I ordered and I can say this - there is no way I will be coming back.... For $30 it wasn't even close to being worth it. I'll happily spend $30 at Gozen or Yua Sushi and have yet to have a bad meal or service. Also for $30 you get a huge, fresh and delicious meal, not at Victoria Sushi, the food was garbage - sorry to be blunt.

Review Template ===…read more1. VERDICT/VALUE The Google reviews maybe hyped up my expectations; I might only swing by again if I were in the area. The prices were not really enticing enough to get past the food quality bar: which is exceeded by other sushi places in town. === 2. FOOD If Sushi Story excels at anything, it would be on providing large pieces of tempura, square-shaped :) Katsu Dinner Box ($23.95): It's good value for dinner: pork katsu on rice with dynamite roll, salad, four pieces of tempura, some fruit, and miso soup. Sashimi Dinner Box ($25.95) It's the kitchen sink: four pieces of sashimi, three pieces of nigiri, dynamite roll, four pieces of tempura, some fruit, a miso soup and an ebb sunomono. The shrimp in the sunomono were big but very odd-tasting - not sure if they went bad or what, but I would not do that again. The noodles were fine, if not really al dente. Prawn Tempura ($13.95): Six pieces of delights await you, lightly breaded for the most part. === 3. SERVICE Perhaps all but our server were Korean; our server was an older Japanese lady who treated us really well and catered to my little guy. I would be happy to be served at the restaurant again by the lady we had. === 4. ENVIRONMENT Don't let the nondescript parking lot outside fool you; it's a bit of a darker wood oasis that awaits you and it's older but pleasant. Groups may ideally be sized 6 or less, but there is plenty of space between booths/tables and wheelchairs and baby stroller would be welcomed easily. Parking is very much available in the shopping complex lot outside - with a lot of transient traffic from food delivery drivers.

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.

Always delicious. If you want the best price for a sushi platter in town, order it here. 80 pieces…read morefor 40$ beats even thriftys. We got the platter for our wedding party in August 2015 and it was so good, everyone enjoyed it. I love to grab a quick lunch of gyozas and sushi or a bento box. The prices are the best I've seen and the sushi is consistently high quality.

Review Template ===…read more1. VERDICT/VALUE Is the hype real? It is...if you're looking for a place to get takeout sushi that's average to decent along with other Japanese condiments candies and groceries. === 2. FOOD The takeout sushi is all refrigerated. So it's tough to say that hot items (like don bowls) taste good when they're cold, but at least the items that are supposed to be cold taste decent. - Shrimp California Roll: Nice twist on the standard! - Mabo Tofu Don: it's cold, it's congealed, salty sauce chunks; no thanks. - Sashimi Combo: decent! - Hawaiian Poke: haha, coming from Hawaii it's certainly not, but it's fine if you eat it with rice. - Ebi Tempura Don: it's cold, tempura mushy - pass. === 3. SERVICE Apart from the fact the kitchen staff could not tell me how they make the poke (perhaps it's made elsewhere? A bit of a concern...) all staff were nice, professional and able to speak English and Japanese. === 4. ENVIRONMENT Think corner store with a refrigerated section that offers packaged sushi to go. If you've been to smaller towns in Japan, you'll feel right at home. Its cozy narrow aisles stocked with all assortments of imported Japanese items are complemented by warm greetings from all of the staff. It'd be best to leave your wheelchairs and baby strollers outside where possible; the eight or so parking spots are often full but not needing a lot of waiting time given the frequent in-and-out of the takeout clientele.

Easily the best sushi restaurant on the island, a pleasant and happy surprise!!…read more This family owned sushi restaurant is wonderfully run, the food is amazing and the service phenomenal. We tried Yumi for the first time on Friday for my folks anniversary and we were not disappointed. We ordered 5 different Maki Rolls, tempura prawns, seaweed salad, gyozas (which were out of this world incredible) and spring rolls. It was a feast of divine food. And the owners kept the it cool on a ridiculous bus Friday night with orders and non-stop phone calls. A HUGE THANK YOU YAMI! We are already planning our next visit!!!

The servers are always trying to get you in and out fast, don't smile, unfriendly and just rude. The ambiance is ok, the seating by the bathroom is a big red flag. The smells are not what you want when getting sushi and the cleaner products a smell every time the doors are opened is pungent. Not worth our time anymore. It's a small place and worth skipping.
