One night in June, Collin said he wanted to eat Sushi for dinner, but he was so hungry that he couldn’t wait in line. I was thinking where we can go and remembered that my friend had told me that there was a new Japanese restaurant open on Kingsway, close to Nanaimo street and it wasn’t bad. Although we had to take a bus to get there, we decided to go.
Sushi By Yuji is probably in 15 min walk from Nanaimo Skytrain station. They serve mainly Sushi, but there are some appetizer like Gyoza, and some dessert, on the menu, too.
We ordered from their regular menu and special on the board.
Complimentary Tea
Morokyu
Morokyu is an appetizer that are served cucumber with Moromi Miso. Moromi Miso is liquid salty chunky Miso.
3 kinds of Roll
(Ebi & Asparagus Roll, California Roll, Hamachi & Avocado Roll)

Hamachi & Avocado roll was on their special, which was so good. Surprisingly, the Ebi & Asparagus roll was simple but so good, too.
Ebi and Botan Ebi Nigiri

Is Botan Ebi spot prawn?
Engawa (Halibut Fin) Nigiri
Engawa is the edge of fish that is the muscle they use. You can see it in this video, around 4:30.
Ika & Mentaiko Gunkan
Anago Nigiri
Aji (Horse Mackerel) Nigiri
Negitoro with Egg
This was new to me. Negitoro with roe quail egg. Negitoro is chopped fatty tuna and green onion. I saw this on someone’s blog and had to order! This was good! It looked small, but it got mouthful. 🙂
And, an extra picture of the restaurant exterior.
Overall, Sushi was good. If the restaurant was packed, there would be some slowness, because there is only one chef working. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. You can choose the size of rice for Nigiri! In Japan, Sushi tends to use quite small amount of rice, which is designed for bite-size.
I like their Facebook page shows what kind of fish just gets delivered, which looks so fresh and clean!
