Visiting Canada on a trip and behold, what a serendipity! By chance we found this neat place, very clean, nice décor, and a stunning synthetic jellyfish tank at the entrance. Every item came out perfectly. We had the sashimi and sushi lunch boxes. The fish quality is just superb, melting in our mouth, fresh and natural. We also ordered the Philadelphia roll and Paradise roll. Both were satisfying and out of this world, especially the paradise roll, so flavorful and mixed with harmony, yum! Bummer that we are only passing by and the chance of coming back is slim, otherwise I would come here every wee!

Great sushi every time that is reasonably priced and in a convenient location just off King George highway. They are very accommodating for larger groups as well if you make a reservation(~10 people).

Promising. It really is. Nice location, nice interior, but from a Japanese food guy, this is the low down. It was for dinner for one adult and two little girls. + Stay away from the Butane flavored kushi — why bother. YUCK. + Good portion of Toro sashimi. But it was amateur sashimi hour as it wasn’t cut right(it was in blocks of sashimi) + Slow service to end … No water refills + Dynamite roll is too big too much crab + Oyster mototaki was a mess of corn and cut up Oyster in a tasteless sauce in an aluminum foil bowl + Bento box was a fair size + Everything was fairly priced + Nice and clean inside + Gyoza was a little burnt and was fairly tasteless + Ebi sunomono was a pretty big portion… Lots of shrimp and was good. All in all, folks who really don’t understand Japanese food are making it. Not memorable at all, which is like most sushi places in Surrey, unfortunately. I don’t think I’ll find a reason to ever return again.

it was a quick lunch stop on the way to whistler. lunch menu @ 11:15AM. vege bento-box was decent except my kid did not like the taste of the tofu teriyaki. the nigiri cuts are decent with good small rice portion(good as i am cutting carbs). Everything looks new, even the live baby jellyfish in the aquarium. nothing to rave about.

Some of the best sushi I’ve eaten, and the most beautiful presentation I’ve seen locally. I’m definitely a fan of Damiko sushi! I haven’t tried their Langley location yet, but this one is great!!! Their specialty rolls are absolutely amazing!

I’m on a quest to find a good Japanese restaurant in South Surrey. This was my first stop — close to home. I will not be back unless I’m desperate. It’s not that the food was that bad, it’s just that I have to believe there is much better elsewhere — I have had much better outside of South Surrey. Firstly, the tamago(for my daughter) was dried out. Also… they didn’t know what tamago is. It’s egg. I had to order sweet egg. Secondly, they’re not Japanese. Not that it’s a big deal — though I challenge anyone to find me a non-Japanese owned excellent sushi joint. Thirdly, it’s pricey for what you get. I got a oyako don — had to order that as chicken don. And a Tiger roll. Now, this whole funky/specialty roll business is new to me. You venture to Richmond and you rarely find specialty rolls — at least I never have. These tiger rolls, dragon rolls, giant-mouth-stretching-mess-making-gimicky-rolls are not Japanese. The tiger roll though, was edible and actually not all that bad. I’d actually try the other rolls IF they didn’t cost me my left arm. At $ 11 for 6 pieces(albeit large), it’s not worth it. The chicken don was $ 7 but small. About 6 – 7 pieces of chicken covered is thick, processed teriyaki sauce. Lots of semi-cooked vegetable and a small portion of rice. I had a look at their sashimi. Not appetizing so I wasn’t willing to take a flyer on it but judging by the rest of their fare, I can’t imagine I’d be missing much. The good points, miso soup for all. They do cater to kids… they brought a straw for my daughters ‘cool’ green tea. Nice touch since I didn’t even ask for either.
