Sushi Alberni - Port Alberni

The sushi was decent, not exceptional but not bad either. I would suggest trying it out, although it may not be the top sushi spot in town. The service was average.

The restaurant, located in a strip mall, may appear unassuming from the outside, but once inside, it is surprisingly elegant and cozy.

The reviews are not accurate!!! My husband and I went to this restaurant based on recommendations from Yelp reviews, but we were disappointed with our experience.

Was everything perfect? Maybe not quite. I've had better tempura dipping sauce. I've had better gyoza. But the rest of what we were fed was pretty good, and the service was a standout. From what I understand, the the people currently running the place haven't been there for all that long. I don't know about how much previous experience they've had but I'm confident that, based on how apparent it was that they wanted us to be happy (for instance, they brought us a complimentary plate of goodies), they will iron out any shortcomings in the menu sooner rather than later and this will be one of the better sushi places (for the very reasonable price you pay here) on Vancouver Island.Give them a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

We were here for lunch and ordered Philadelphia Roll, Prawn tempura and a rice dish (can't remember the name) had salmon on it. It was all very fresh, everything is made to order and the service was impeccable. I been here before and this is one of the 2 places I would only go for sushi. Thanks again for great food and service. Only thing that bothered me was it was cold in the restaurant, I think their furnace was not working that day. Enjoy your sushi :)
