Being someone who lived in Japan I have high expectations for Japanese food, and Mini Japan just brings a total uniqueness to all of their dishes. I’m an adventurous eater, so I’m always ordering something new on their menu every time I go, and the last five times I’ve gone I’ve never been disappointed. You have to try their Gioza, which tastes like the very best Taiwanese salty peppery chicken; The sushi pizza with its separate sauces is so incredible; the monkey brain (which I know sounds scary!) is delicious, and all of their sushi rolls are filling and tasty. This isn’t the place to go if you’re looking for hyper traditional sushi, but if you like a little flare and fusion in your food, you can’t do any better. This will be my mainstay restaurant in Quesnel.

Friendly, fast service and high quality sashimi. I didn't expect Japanese food of this caliber in Quesnel, but I am pleasantly surprised! I'll definitely be coming back on my next trip here.

Literally the best sushi My fiance and I have ever had in all our travels. The tofu was so good it was practically a dessert. Literally cheaper than most other places we have been to and tops them all in taste and size.

The presentation was immaculate. The sushi was was incredible and tasted very fresh. The decor of the restaurant was very nice although the seating were benches with carpet overtop but that wouldn't stop me from coming again. Overall experience was fantastic and the price wasn't out of the ordinary for a northern interior town. 5 out of 5

Really friendly staff and good service. Great portion size and delicious food. We had lunch and it was good. Sushi on the house was an extra asset. They have also take out.

Ordered California roll, dynamite roll, and spicy chicken karage. Tasted amazing, sushi was fresh, chicken was so good, loved the charred flavor, gentlemen whom served us was so polite, clean establishment. I actually wanted to phone and tell them how good it was, definitely come back and try other dishes thank you.

Enjoyed my good food take out. Had the Bento box A with beef teriyaki, really tasty. Everything was so good and I really enjoyed it. Lots of left over for the next day, big serving. If ordering online, it takes at least 30 - 40 mins until ready for pick up so time your order for perfect pick up time. Other than a missed spicy mayo, it's a 10/10
