Kawakubo Japanese Restaurant

Sushi is more than just food, it is artwork. Therefore, for great sushi you need good quality fresh fish, and an artisan skilled in the craft. What are the chances of finding either of these in the middle of the Rocky Mountains of Canada? Zip...right? Well, turns out the art of Sushi is thriving, and has been for years right in downtown Revelstoke, British Columbia! The Miso soup is not over salted and has fresh nori, they got fresh Ikura, Hamachi, Saba, Tai, and even Bluefin Tuna sometimes not to mention the REAL best Japanese beer Kirin! This Sushi is the closest you are going to get to Tokyo grade fare without actually going to Tokyo. Just go to Kawakubo, and keep going there until you ru...

Sushi in Revelstoke?! Hmmm, this could be a good or bad decision! But I as so happy that we decided to make reservations here. Their sashimi was perfectly cut and fresh. They did not have ahi, only albacore, but they did have toro! Yes, please! Their rolls are reasonably priced for the size. Their house rolls are cheaper because they are only stuffed inside, the other rolls are more expensive because they are stuffed as well was topped with extra stuff. We came here in a Saturday night, so that probably affected the wait time for food. But the wait time for food would be my only complaint with this place and the food quality and taste certainly made up for it. I highly recommend eating here...

Great food, amazing service! Bustling, warm, friendly, good vibes. For a small place there are a lot of staff and every one is laser focused on doing whatever needs doing at the moment. I couldn't count more than 10 seconds from the time we were finished with a plate before someone not even our server whisked it away. The staff rushes around like a well oiled machine.

I visited this restaurant while vacationing for skiing. The sushi was surprisingly good for a ski town. The food was served promptly, was delicious, and the staff were friendly. I recommend making reservations in advance. The restaurant has a traditional Japanese decor and ambiance. Overall, it is a great option in Revelstoke.

Food and decor excellent. Price a little higher than average but expected in a small town. A busy sushi restaurant on a Sunday dinner rush. Server Janelle needs some serious coaching in customer service. She needs to go to server school to learn some manners. I wouldn't come back if servers keep giving customers attitude.

We had a great time celebrating a birthday at this restaurant. The sushi was delicious and the service was excellent. The highlight of the evening was the birthday dessert, a delightful combination of green tea, ginger, mango, and black sesame ice cream. It was a special celebration that we thoroughly enjoyed.

Better than average sushi but remember that you need reservations. Tempura shrimp was very good but some of the sashimi was not completely thawed. We also ordered a roll with crab and tuna and it was good. Service was a bit rushed and waitstaff seemed overwhelmed.

The sushi service at this restaurant is excellent, I would rate it 10/10. I enjoy everything about this place, whether dining in or getting take-out. I particularly love the rolls, sashimi, appetizers, and let's not forget about the dessert!

Excellent food and staff. Food arrived very quickly even though the sign in door said they had a staff shortage. The hamachi was delicious!
