Met my old friend Phil for lunch recently. At his suggestion we tried SUSHI WARA in Qualicum Beach. It’s on Memorial where Bistro 694 used to be. 

The transformation from Bistro to Japanese has been nicely done. Very Japanese feel to the decor. There is a patio which might be enjoyable in a warm summer evening. Service was prompt and very polite.  We  surveyed the extensive menu that included Sushi, Salads, Noodles, Terriyaki, Tempura, and Donburi. (Rice Bowls) Something for everyone here.

For some reason we both decided on noodles. Seafood Ramen for Phil, Chicken Yakisoba for me.

Both dishes arrived quickly and both were substantial. Quite good too. The Yakisoba was served in a hot cast iron dish. The Ramen in an enormous bowl. 

Sushi Wara has 2 other locations. Nanaimo and Courtenay. 

Here is the website. They have plenty of photos of the various dishes.

They are at 694 Memorial in Qualicum Beach.  Open every day but Tuesday. 

And, of course, they do take out too. 

It’s very good. But I have to admit I’m a devoted customer of Sam’s Sushi in FRENCH CREEK and with at least 200 visits there in 15 years it’s hard to move. 

Just saying…
