I was positively thrilled and surprised to find such a delicious Japanese restaurant in Sooke! The…read moreservice was 5/5 (super warm and attentive), and even though our server warned us the wait would be a while, the time flew by with her bringing us water, tea, and our appetizer. Plus, they were clearly all hustling as fast as they could. For the food, they were actually sold out of a few things because we came later in the evening, but that made it clear they make everything fresh, same day. We had the agedashi tofu, which was perfectly crispy outside and soft inside with a tasty sauce beneath. My spicy chicken tofu soup came out steaming with an egg and rice, and I loved it. My husband had the yaki udon stir fry noodles and he devoured it. Tea was free, and I'm writing this review as we're sitting in Hara for a second night in a row!

The food was the BEST part!…read more We saw this on Yelp as we were visiting the area for the first time. We started off with Poutine and Island Museels! These were delicious! And some of the best poutine we've ever had! I got the tuna Niçoise salad and my bf got the chicken Parmesan. We were both super satisfied! Our server is originally from Seattle and we got to talking about life in Seattle and how she had moved to B.C. She was super friendly!

This could be my meal. My husband and I got the fish and fries. The type of cod was highly recommended by our family. Not as impressed, however, good meal. It comes with slaw, not creamy, not vinegary...different from what we are used to.

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.

Hubby had spicy tuna tempura roll and he loved it. I had the spicy tuna gogo roll. The tuna practically melted in your mouth. Don't sleep on the pickled ginger that comes with the rolls. Tastes homemade and fresh. I had the yuzu soda (na) and it also tasted homemade. Yum. Not to sweet, sparkly and refreshing. The last thing we ate was at our server's recommendation. A spicy fried tofu appetizer. It was incredibly but definitely not spicy. The tofu was so sweet and creamy inside, it seemed like a dessert in a savory sauce. It was so strange and delicious that I'm still thinking about it hours later. You really must try this place. We will return asap.

Yes. Amazing sushi, teriyaki and tempura with adorable, sweet servers and fast cooking…read more Came with my friend earlier this month. We shared assorted tempura, Hawaiian Roll, and Dynamite Roll. My friend had their chicken teriyaki. Loved the unique Hawaiian Roll, which included salmon, yogurt, cream cheese, mango, avocado, cucumber and coconut flakes on top. I hadn't seen this roll before, and while my friend was too chicken to try more than a small bite, I loved this. The tempura was done well! Sometimes when I get tempura elsewhere, the batter isn't cooked all the way through and/or there's too much batter. They made it perfectly here. Total with Diet Coke was $65.74 before tip. Small, cozy dining area with a view of the cooks. Would definitely return.

Small Family-owned Japanese Restaurant [Chemainus BC]…read more Wow! The last review posted was written 5 years ago. They originally offered table service but when Covid hit they only did take out and until now in September 2023 they still only do takeout orders. There are two tables for use in the dining room (good for up to 4 seating each) but there is no dining service available. This is a family-owned business (father-daughter). Friendly daughter who took our orders. We were the first one in when they opened for the day. When we originally came here first on Sunday they were closed. The business is closed on Sundays. Their business hours in Yelp needs updating. Open Mon-Sat 11:00a to 7:00p. I ordered the California Roll Bento Box. What would normally come in a bento box was served in a styrofoam box. It's okay since they are now just take out. Everything was delicious... the beef, salad, tempura except for the California Roll, it was not fresh and the kind you would get premade from a grocery store. The restaurant is located in a small seaside town of Chemainus in the Cowichan Valley in the Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Review #3155
