Got take out here while staying in Bowen and it was delicious. The order ended up taking a bit longer than expected but we were given a delicious appetizer while we waited. Friendly staff and good sushi, highly recommend!

We had a good experience at this restaurant! The tempura was exceptionally fresh and crispy, definitely a highlight of the meal. I highly recommend it. The yam roll was also delightful—fresh and packed with flavor. However, I found the salmon avocado roll a bit lacking; while it was delicious, there wasn't enough fish and avocado in comparison to the rice. Overall, it was a good meal.

Decent sushi place. They make it fresh and the cooked food is quite tasty. We have teriyaki chicken and beef and a chicken donburi and a California roll and dynamite roll combo. Lots of tasty veggies. The miso soup was on the salty side though. Prices are higher than Vancouver but that's what you expect on the island.

Small place by ferry. Try some of their Korean dishes - I think it may be their specialty! Like the no nonsense service. Not a place for a romantic date but a great place to pick up when you have a sushi craving. Glad to have something like this on Bowen Island.

This is a wonderful Bowen Island gem! My husband and I went for dinner and loved all of our dishes! Everything was very fresh and prepared beautifully. The tempura was incredibly fresh, crunchy and light. Their inari bombs are a MUST!!! A perfect blend of ingredients with just the right amount of everything. We were very happy with the size of the food portions and ended up ordering too much because of how good it was. We’ll be back for sure! Thank you so much! :)
