Delicious! When I seek great sushi among all the choices the west coast offers, I look for the signature style of the chef. Keith Kamizato is the best. California rolls are NOT sushi - go to a 'fast food' sushi vendor if that's what your stunted pallette craves. If you want real japanese sushi, SKK is the place to be. The hard Rock and Heavy Metal decor and playlist are a welcome change from the traditional vibe as well.
Best sushi I've had in Canada. It's pricey and takes a long time, so don't arrive super hungry. Still worth the wait. Unpretentious and ecclectic decor. Chef/owner is a rock fan.
Probably the best place for sushi in the Tri-Cities. However, it's not your common fare North Americanized sushi. A bit pricey, but if I'm not going downtown then this place is it. Decor is odd, but I'm there for the sushi. Service has been consistently good.
Fish was fresh and very tasty. Waitress took extra care to describe which parts to dip in soy and which not to. Menu is tiny but every item is perfect. Prices seem high at first glance but the quantity and quality of the fish for each item is worth every penny.
This restaurant is amazing! I love the atmosphere as soon as you walk in – there is metal music playing, records and guitars on the walls, and music posters everywhere. The staff was very friendly and attentive. But the best part was the FOOD! Everything that I tried on the menu was amazing. I didn’t think that I liked anything but sushi rolls before I tried this place – now I don’t even want sushi rolls anymore! The sashimi is amazing, SO fresh and it almost melts in your mouth! I also tried the DTP burger which was fantastic, the food is phenomenal. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves sushi, and even if you think you don’t love sushi, this is the place to try!
The food was GOOD, fresh and quality. The waitress was attentive and the chefs skills matches his reputation, while he does take around 20m to prep your dish it's well worth as you can see a lot of care put into the meal. Alright so why just 3*? Well
The atmosphere clashes with the price points, you come there thinking trendy college crowd type but the prices and food suggest classy. This would be a great place to bring your date to but it's heavy metal look doesn't fit at all! The price and food both show this place would better succeed in downtown with a more authentic look.
The menu is rather limited as well, they took off rolls recently, this is BC..people are going to expect rolls, it's fine if you are going for an authentic taste and I've heard Japan doesn't really do rolls but you have to cater to your customers. If you can't afford rolls, make the rolls you can make with the inventory available. Which comes to my next point, the high price point is probably because of the expensive ingredients, the food was super fresh but when I saw the chef recommendations which included lobster tail I thought 'oh that's where the money went'.
The location, and atmosphere do not match the food price/quality. The food portions weren't that great either, I ordered for one person and spent $20..I could have gotten the same experience in downtown for less.
Best sushi in the lower mainland for the real sushi lover! Worth the drive! Fresh fish that Keith prepares himself and sauces that are paired perfectly! We haven't found another restaurant that even comes close.
The best quality sushi creatively plated. Friendly warm ambience.
The absolute worst place to eat sushi. Had a take out order and ate 2 pieces before I chucked 2 full containers in the garbage. There was no crab in my rolls, only fried dough, had zero flavour. Came with little to no ginger or wasabi. My boyfriend and were really disappointed. We ended up going out again and grabbed burgers instead.
Great food and atmosphere. Biggest challenge is getting in, but that is a good sign. This is a studio place that doesn't try to look like a sushi place, it is a rocker restaurant that happens to serve sushi, much like if you are in Tokyo, etc.
Wandered in here by chance. Sat in one of the barstools and started visiting with the chef. Teased him a bit about his rare heavy metal themed sushi restaurant. Great guy. Pretty soon he was recommending dishes and making me some of his special off the menu sushi. Absolutely wonderful unique food that was fresh and tasty. I have eaten at a lot of sushi restaurants and the food was similar at most of them. Kamizato isn't like the others. Their sushi is unique.
I went home and raved about it to my son. He thought I was just being silly. But when I took him a few weeks later he actually apologized for doubting my enthusiasm. I will go back there again and again.
