Visiting Vernon for a drive around the valley, and we had a hankering for sushi. Saw this place and decided to give it a shot. At first, I thought it was closed there being nobody inside (Friday at lunch). But it was indeed open and we went in. Decor is a little sparse and unsettling; wasn't as welcoming as it could be. But the proprietor was very friendly and welcoming. Sat us at a table and we ordered Bento boxes. I was sure the menu said two prawns came with the tempura but I only got one. So I asked for a menu to make sure but the menu I got the second time around said one prawn. I think I originally got an unaltered menu. No matter, the tempura was crisp and fresh, the prawns firm. Sushi and sashimi were well prepared. The gyoza was small and non-descript. Miso soup was typical as were the edamame beans. Salad was drizzled in a funny purple dressing, atypical for this type of salad. Interestingly, the sashimi is typically served on a bed of stringed, fresh radish but ours were on dried, uncooked, rice noodles. Looks the same but completely wrong. We brought it to the attention of the mom who owns the restaurant. She explained they had no radish and used the noodles as a substitute, profusely apologizing the entire time. Weird...Price is average for what you get. Bathroom is very small but clean. All in all, an average meal for an average price in an average establishment. Three stars.

After reading several reviews of restaurants, I decided to check this place out, as I wanted a relatively quiet and relaxing evening. This is just what I found. Though I found the establishment a little hard to find, the prior reviews gave me a good idea what to look for and what to expect. The menu is rather simple, with limited but interesting options at a reasonable price. I enjoyed the combo I ordered, as well as the ad on. My meal consisted of miso soup, a large order of spicy salmon sushi and a smaller order of tuna sushi, a noodle salad and on the side, sunomono salad. Following my meal, I indulged in the free green tea. Overall, I enjoyed the food, and the experience. Consider checking it out!

This restaurnat is in a grubby part of Vernon with poor parking, however we decided to give it a try. The menu was huge so enjoyed reading all the choices, we settled on lunch boxes as it gave us a variety. We found the food a bit bland but plentiful, we had ordered a side of gyozo which we ended up taking home as there was so much food. the service was very good.

We enjoyed a pre Mothers Day dinner here and were not disappointed! The Vegetable Tempura is always piping hot and crisp, Gyoza were tasty as was the Agadashi Tofu. We enjoyed both the Vegetable and Chicken Yakisoba, Spider Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll and Inari finishing up with Moochie. Service was friendly and efficient, food all served fresh and was a delight to look at. We will be back again soon!
