“ After ordering a few sushi rolls with an order of jeyuk-bokkeom (spicy pork rice bowl), I am definitely coming back here. The rolls are fully packed and well prepared. The jeyuk-bokkeom was super tasty too! This place seems almost unbelievable when considering the quality and prices of other sushi places in Victoria. Everyone was very nice too! It's primarily a take-out place but there was a small table where I could sit if I needed. ”
“ A new sushi place up in the Gordon Head area and it blew me away at how delicious and fresh their sushi was. As someone who has tried far too many sushi places in Victoria, I must say this is in my top list! It’s affordable and the fish tastes so fresh and they make great sushi rice. The place is small so not really anywhere to dine in but I love to get take out and bring it home to enjoy :) ”
“ Their tidiness and hygiene was impressive. It was my light lunch at Mt.Tomie. It doesn't get any better than this ”
“ I’ve eaten a lot of sushi and I honestly think this is the best sushi I’ve ever had. Everything is ridiculously fresh and just generally really good. The tropical roll and the spicy salmon are my favourites from their menu! It’s quite small in the restaurant so there’s not much seating but honestly they’re usually pretty quick with takeout orders so it’s nice to take the sushi to the beach or a park. The staff are always very friendly too. Favourite takeout spot in Vic for sure. ”
“ Small little sushi shop in Gordon head with some of the best rolls and freshest sushi I’ve had in victoria. Their salmon avocado roll is so simple yet so scrumptious with lots of fresh wild salmon and creamy avocado at very reasonable prices. My go to for a mid day snack or lunch. ”
“ Great spot. Close to campus. Reasonably priced. The green salad came with black sesame sauce which was both delicious and unique. All the sushi rolls were good. We came for lunch and had the sashimi, nigiri, and beef teriyaki bento boxes. They were all fantastic. The side of tempura had a broccoli tempura - which is rare. The colour and crispness of the tempura was light and clean - indicating that the oil they used must have been a good quality and relatively “fresh”. We would definitely come back again. ”
“ Love this sushi place... a small little sushi shop where the food and service were both incredible. High quality sashimi, fresh delicious sushi rolls and warm friendly staff. Ordered on New Years and waited 2hrs, it was worth the wait and the perfect meal to end 2024. Highly recommend to eat here everyday! ”
“ My daughter, who lives in Vancouver, ordered a Friday night delivery for me as a surprise! Not only was it the best surprise, but it was the best take-out sushi I've ever had - and I've had a lot of take-out sushi! I will definitely be ordering from Sushi Mago in the future! Uber Delicious! ”
