If the kitchen was overwhelmed, would have been nice to comp some apps for the wait. I would like to say the food was worth the wait, but no. All three rolls were bland. I could barely find the fish or even tell the rolls apart. Even the rice in the rolls didn't seem fresh. One roll was topped with tempura shrimp, and this was cold. Cold tempura is just greasy and the crunch was gone. Overall, the only saving grace to the whole experience was the view.

The place was clean, there were plenty of seats, the restrooms were clean. Service was super-friendly and fast. I ordered a hot tea which was perfectly soothing after a cold day out hiking. Our party ordered a bunch of rolls, their stuffed mushrooms, spicy garlic edamame, a teriyaki chicken bento box, and spicy Korean ramen. All of their foods were very delicious. The mushrooms were PIPING hot but SO DELICIOUS. I still think about those mushrooms and it's been about 4 days now... The spicy edamame were indeed spicy. Very flavorful and spicy. The spicy ramen, I'm told, was not spicy after asking for it to be toned down a bit. Guess it was toned down more than just a bit. Flavor was still good, though. We were very happy with all the foods, the comfort, and the service. Great restaurant and I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for quality sushi in Ucluelet!

I didn't care too much for the broth (definitely a lot of umani flavor for the dashi) as it wasn't a type of broth i was use to. It wasn't bad but just not my style. The noodles were good. The bamboo shoot was different too but tasted a bit sweet? The pork belly was too thin in my opinion. I'm use to a more fatty pork belly. Soy sauce marinated egg is extra but we gave it a try. You can get "free" extra ramen if you do a review for them. Just scan QR code on the table. You order at the kiosk and pick up your own bowl of ramen. No tip asked.

Inspired by the shops of Vancouver, LA, and Tokyo, and driven by their love of noodles, Greg and Erin Masuda served the first bowl of authentic, scratch-made ramen that Vancouver Island had ever seen. Six years and 40 flavours later, Nikkei Ramen-ya still bustles; if you can't make it to our shop in Downtown Courtenay, you can now find our ramen at your local Vancouver Island grocer. From silky Tonkotsu to vegan-friendly options and crisp karaage chicken, we've got something for every craving. Gluten-free options are available Our review- We met a friend for dinner, we went early at about 4.30pm, it wasn't crowded yet. Ordered our ramen on an electronic kiosk menu board... By the electronic menu board, there are table # stand. Chose a number & put the number that you chose onto your order as identification. Then place the number stand on your table. The noodles were very good, nice soup broth... we enjoyed the noodles very much, we also added a side dish of green beans, dressing on the beans was like the Japanese spinach (Gomae). Beans was crunchy & with that dressing, it was yummy. Overall a very good experience, do check it out if you are in downtown Courtney. You will not be disappointed ! Place was clean with decent seats Come after lunch or before dinner, the place was crowded during dinner time.

I ordered 3 rolls: negitoro roll, chopped scallop roll, and crazy boy roll. I really love sushi rolls and negitoro and chopped scallop rolls are two are my favourites in general, but the ones here were not the best ones I've had. The chopped scallop roll tasted a little bit weird and not something I would order again. The negitoro was good but not excellent. The best roll out of these 3 has got to be the crazy boy roll. I would love to try the rest of their "crazy" series which is basically rolls that are deep fried. I would love to come back and try some of their special rolls as well - those are the ones that I believe will taste better than the classic general rolls.

The ramen were frozen ramen packets you can buy at the grocery stores and the soup was definitely not pork bone soup simmered for hours. They did try to make some fusion taste and it was ok but because of the lack of work needed to make this, it should not be priced similar to real ramen. Also comes with a button mushroom disguised as a shitake mushroom. The udon soup was on par with other japanese restaurants since the dashi stock is fairly easy to make. The portion is very huge and the taste is not bad. The tempura was fried nicely. This one is priced fairly. Since Port Alberni lacks authentic Japanese cuisines, this is all they have. Taste-wise is ok for a fusion palate.
