Sushi Wara - Comox

Tried Sushiwara again. Take out this time. Bento boxes were tasty and enjoyed, but: 1. Shrimp tempura in dynamite roll was cold, tough, and clearly cooked much earlier and refrigerated for hours. 2. I ordered maki but received a single nigiri instead. 3. Take-out was packed in non-recyclable foam packaging. Very 1978 of Sushi Wara. 4. As so many have noted already, prices are high. No shortage of Japanese restaurants. Sushi Wara better up its game.

I just picked up some take out sushi from this place, as Kobo Sushi is closed today. The child-sized portions wouldn't feed a cat. The gomae at was the size of a tablespoon, and no more. And I'm not exaggerating. The negatoro cone could fit through a key hole. Can you believe it? And the hamachi sashimi at came with five thin slices only. Total bill was a whopping for take out, before tip. I am gobsmacked. These prices are absolutely highway robbery, especially with the tiny portions. Will never ever go back and I suggest others try Kobo sushi in Comox, or Ichiban in Courtenay. Way more reasonable with decent portions sizes and great food. Still shaking my head!

I went twice and so far, very satisfied with the quality and the portions. I tried the Wara Deluxe Tray and would definitely recommend their Chirashu Donburi. Will come back if I am ever in the area.

Wonderful food and beautiful plating.The sashimi was fresh no fishy afternotes. I adored the lime slices for the fish.Lots of ginger to cleanse the palate.The tako was prepped perfectly . The inari Nigri which I order where ever I go was a perfect portion.The agadashi tofu was superb. I like how they put the tofu in the sauce.The gomae was well balanced a perfect starter .Everything was given in stages which was wonderful. Thank you for making my first experience at your establishment memorable.

Okay sushi spot, tuna was kind of stringy? Like I couldn’t bite in half. The strings of the fish were there. Is this normal? Am I uncultured? I’ve never had this happen to a piece of nigiri. Maybe I’m the problem. But even so, it was mediocre sushi. There is better in the valley.
