Shima-ya Takeout Sushi - Victoria

If you are looking for excellent sushi, this is the spot to go! Much better than most of the popular places that make headlines!

This restaurant offers some of the best sushi in GVA at a reasonable price. It's best to go in the middle of the week for dinner to ensure they don't run out of fish.

The sushi and sashimi at this restaurant are incredibly fresh. It feels like I am dining in Japan! I can never resist stopping in for lunch whenever I drive by. It is simply delicious!

Love the seafood chawamushi, it tastes even better than one at Isami. The portion is smaller but it has so much flavour. My husband gushes over the flavour. The spicy scallop roll is really good and very fresh. Just a bit disappointed that it is not spicy at all. We also had the three kind assorted sashimi and house special dynamite roll. The dynamite roll is really good and prawn they use is big and very fresh and good quality. The salmon sashimi and scallop sashimi are really good and fresh. Their salmon sashimi is one of the best I've taste anywhere. They use very good quality rice here so it makes the sushi roll tastes really delicious. We also love Mai dai kama sakamushi which is the steamed Japanese fish with sake. The fish meat is fatty and very soft and tastes delicious. It comes with vinegar dipping sauce. The price for sashimi is bit high and the portion is smaller than other restaurants but all the food we taste here are really good with high quality and are very fresh.

The restaurant is a bit small, so it tends to get crowded. However, the food and service are excellent. It's the best sushi in town!
