💬 Customer Feedback
(Helpful insights for locals or first-time visitors)
Arrive Early or Make Reservations
Sushi Story fills up quickly, especially on weekend evenings. Arriving right at opening or calling ahead is advised.
Consider Delivery or Take-Out
Their trays and rolls (like the Esquimalt Tray) are perfect for movie nights, with consistently fast and accurate online ordering.
Enjoy the Fusion Flair Cautiously
While their fusion-style rolls are creative and unique, purists may prefer the more traditional nigiri/sashimi offerings.
Ask About Daily Specials & Bun Additions
Reviewers noted they offer specials like oysters and under-the-radar items like inari with scallop or Korean hot pot dishes on select days—feel free to inquire.
Follow-up on Allergies or Preferences
Staff are accommodating but it helps to mention allergies (especially to mushrooms or soy), as certain ingredients (like shiitake) may appear in dishes unexpectedly.
Expect Generous Portions
Commenters love the filling servings—bento boxes and trays won’t leave you hungry.
