Firehouse Grill - Nanaimo

Was pleasantly surprised by this place, just googled “restaurants” when we got off the ferry and this place came up and looked interesting. They had a lot of veggie options for my vegan girlfriend, even the tempura batter was vegan which is never the case. The Sushi is different than any sushi I have ever had, in a good way. They are trying things that I have never seen at any other sushi restaurant. We also arrived near closing and the staff were kind enough to still seat us and just requested we order quickly so they could start closing the kitchen. We really appreciated them accommodating us!

Amazing place to eat! Comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Amazing staff and very quick. This new location is a must-see. Most diverse menu I have seen, tons of vegetarian options, you can get anything from burgers to sushi. Can’t go wrong eating here!

Great friendly service, reasonable prices, great food and presentation and we left feeling stuffed. We had vegetable tempura and some sushi rolls, flavor was excellent. My only criticism is the the sushi rice texture was a little mushy.

Don’t let the name firehouse grill fool you, this restaurant offers a great variety of foods from your typical burgers and fries to an incredible sushi selection. I was blown away by the sushi and cocktails. Our server was very friendly and proud of the food he brought us. We have made a point of trying as many restaurants in Nanaimo as we can, and this one is currently our top rated. We will be back :

I'm so glad we made a reservation here. We tried to walk in the night before but they were full due to reduced seating capacity. Our server was courteous and pretty quick for dealing with many tables. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. We found the portions perfect. Enough you could have a three course meal (shared appie and dessert) and feel comfortably full but not over stuffed.
