Samurai Sushi - Creekside - Whistler Creekside

Many people ask "where can I find good Sushi while in Whistler?". With more than a dozen sushi restaurants in and around Whistler one of the favorites has to be Samurai Sushi. Samurai offers a wide selection of fresh sushi and Japanese food for lunch or dinner all of which is prepared fresh daily by their expert chefs.

Samurai has 3 locations Nester's Market just north of Whistler Village, Squamish in Garibaldi Village, and Creekside just behind Rosie's Pizza off the Sea to Sky Highway at 2011 Innsbruck Drive.

When you step inside the Creekside location you will find it small but inviting. There is a small inside seating area about 5 tables, some counter seating and a few tables outside as well. As you enter the storefront make your way to the back where you will find the counter service with friendly staff.

The menu is quite extensive with all the usual items you expect including Nigiri, Sashimi, rolls, and other Japanese specialties. The thing you won't find here is farmed fish or that "Atlantic Salmon" thing nobody know what that is. Prime examples are the Salmon which is Wild Sockeye and the Toro Fatty Tuna, both are truly excellent. On the vegan front try the Mango/Avocado roll which is listed as gluten free as well as vegan and delicious!

Each time I choose Samurai I find myself ordering the same thing over and over again, the Nigiri Combo 10 piece. With this you specify any 10 pieces you would like all wrapped in a friendly sugarcane container. As if this wasn't enough to get you to drive to Creekside for dinner the cost of this 10 piece wonder is just $17cdn.

So next time you need sushi make a stop in Creekside Samurai Sushi you won't be disappointed and your wallet will thank you!
