      Walked into Nubo Kitchen in the way back to the hotel, as we had a memorable night at the restaurant of the same name further up the street.

      The craft drinks were created excellently as we expect of Victoria's caliber.

      The food was without peer. While the soft shell crab was called a "salad," the greens were more of deco compliment, which we preferred.

      The server, host, and bartender all shared in responsibilities and we enjoyed their friendly demeanor.

      Real crab maki and soft shelled crab "salad" Both were excellent and deserve to be reordered.
      Excellent craft drinks

      Pretty good spot for Japanese cuisine. I needed some sushi during my trip to Victoria, and ended up finding this spot on Yelp which seemed to be pretty popular and well received. We arrived on a Saturday night without a reservation, and we were lucky to be able to get seated at the bar. The bartender/waitress was super friendly all night and very helpful as well.

      We ordered the salmon lover roll, toro oishi sushi, tempura udon, and unagi nigiri. The salmon lover roll was good - it had a good portion of salmon, and the spicy mayo on top added a nice touch. I thought the roll was supposed to be torched, but they didn't do that for me - not sure if they missed it but I probably would have preferred it torched. The toro was great - melt in your mouth tender, though I did feel the rice to fish ratio leaned more too much rice. Nonetheless, the food overall was great, fresh, and satisfying.

      Overall, we had a nice experience here and for the price and portions I would say this is a great spot to visit. The ambiance is also really nice for a special occasion or just a nicer evening. A worthy try in Victoria!

      Incredible service! Exceptional lunch menu! Surprisingly family friendly. Definitely a date night must!

      My very midwestern kids are hesitantly becoming adventurous eaters and they couldn't get enough of the food. There was something for everyone.

      If you're wondering where you should eat while visiting Victoria add this gem to the top of your list!

      Initially walking in, we weren't sure if we were at the right place. There's actually 2 locations, but we were glad we walked into this one. This seems like a more casual location. We came early and didn't have any trouble getting a table.

      This sushi is fantastic. The torched rolls are actually torched table side which is pretty neat.

      Our favorites were the Soft Shelled Crab tapa, Salmon Lover torched roll, Toro Oshi, Black Dragon roll, Real Crab roll, and the Fisherman's roll.

      The food, ambience and service was excellent.

      Everything we ordered was delicious. I loved the soft shell crab and the agedashi tofu.

      All the sushis were excellent . Even though we just walked in, I think better to reserve and come, coz it got packed very quickly .

      Delightful food in a beautifully repurposed building. It had a very calming, cozy interior, matched with delicious food and exquisite service.

      I would definitely come back again!

      It was in a nice safe location. It was to try several tapa dishes. All were great. We liked the ebi gyoza the best. Our waitress was super nice and friendly.

      Ebi gyoza was our favorite!

      Best sushi I've had in awhile. The salmon sashimi was delicious and a beautiful dark red. Everything we ordered was tasty. Service and atmosphere was also exceptional.
