Sushi House - Duncan, British Columbia

Tonie C.

The sushi house in Duncan is a pretty good place to go. My friends actually go there on a regular basis for the teriyaki chicken bowls. They are a good size and a decent amount of protein. I eat the sushi, but next time I’m in I will take/add a picture of the chicken bowls.

I encountered a rude and snarky female server who literally commanded me to sit before placing the menu on the table and was giving me nasty looks. That was rude and very awkward. There was a better female server, but none of them were welcoming or smiling. At the end, I told her that I would like to pay, but she ignored me and started cleaning the table next to me before leaving. My rolls were not tasty and fell apart right away. The home-style fried rice was okay, but considering the amount of ‘vegetables’ and the price, it should have cost maybe about $9 to make instead of the $18 I paid. The only good thing was that it was a big and filling portion. The tables were sticky, the plates were old and scratched, and the music was loud. I don’t even know why I returned there; I guess this will be my last visit. I don’t recommend this place to anyone.

I am torn with this rating.

Ordered some rolls, Gyoza, and miso soup. Food was ready quick for takeout.

All the food was delicious, but there were some issues. We were staying in a hotel. When I got back to the room I noticed no chopsticks, no soya sauce, and no spoon or napkins.

I guess I’ve taken for granted that these things would be in the bag as they have been from every other sushi place I’ve ordered from ever. Not this time! Did they forget? Do they just not include this stuff?

Made for a messy dinner with chopsticks or napkins. Missed the soya, and drank the soup like an animal!!

The gyoza also seemed overcooked which was unfortunate. But overall the food was quite good. Would have been a 5 star rating had they remembered the other stuff!

Came here with my family, ordered the love boat, sockeye salmon nigiri and mango special roll. First off the sushi was great, presentation was nice, the fish was tasty and nicely cut. The customer service however... was lacking. It was a busy Friday evening, only 2 chefs pumping out orders as fast as possible, kudos to them. The servers were a bit lost and we were basically seated in a corner and forgotten about... While we waited about an hour we saw pickup order after pickup order go out the door. Aside from taking our order, no one came by, no water refill, no one came with our bill, no one looked our way. Kinda felt like we were a nuisance being there. This place is in a good spot and has great potential. 4-5 stars are within reach!

We've been eating here for years, mostly take out, but we occasionally eat in. Love the Monkey Brains and finally tried the Volcano Roll and it was amazing!! Nehayla and Hannah are the best servers!

Food was decent, but the value was terrible. Just really overpriced for the portions that you get. When I gave them feedback, they didn’t offer anything at all. We are quite hungry after ordering a sashimi platter and tempura and a salad. Surprise, they had a good reviews as they do and definitely won’t be back

I has salmon Sashimi and beef Pho. The Pho was very disappointing. The broth tasted like simple chicken broth. There were no definable traditional pho aromatics to the broth. Not a lot of meat either. Plus... they serve cilantro instead of Thai basil. Cilantro offers far too light of flavor to be detectable here even with the bland broth. They should get Thai basil If you want to know the best place for pho bar none on the island go to Langford to the "original pho eatery". Try sushi house pho first of course. Then go to langford. I've literally driven the hour just for their soup.

Just for reference I eat pho usually 3 or 4 times a month, every month, for the last 10 years. I've visited a lot of places. Anyone claiming this pho broth is good you can ignore them. Go to langford, try their pho... before you consider dismissing my review.

The salmon Sashimi slices were are bit small.

The establishment is clean but is uninspired in opinion.

The servers here look young but they also look like they're hustling so that's a plus. Also forgot my $250 earbuds there and the staff was diligent in keeping them safe for me to return to collect them.

They probably make ok or better sushi but I'd recommend they drop the pho from the menu or bring its price down to $11.95... one or the other would be the move.

Great prices. Ordered take out of some classic rolls which were solid. On a whim ordered the Burning Cheese starter as well, hoping it would be good - it was so good!! Staff were all very kind.
