Things to do in Prince George
There have been several Asian restaurants in this location previously. Letâs hope this one stays! The food is quite good. It is much less salty than most other Chinese food. We like that we can get bothChinese and Japanese cuisine in the same place. We usually get a Bento Box and a combo dinner. The quality of the food at Good Chef is excellent and we find the prices are quite reasonable.

Ramen Ya SENDOSendo has pulled off quite the magic trick, worthy of fooling Penn & Teller (well, more Penn), one of those clever switches where the illusionist misleads you into focusing on an innocuous element while clandestinely swapping the deck. Ramen Ya SENDO (and apparently, itâs spelled exactly like that, leading me to think I have to scream the last word) began as a typical sushi spot, an above average one. I had better, both out of town and recently within it (see Sushi 97), but Sendo was a suitable alternative given its proximity. For those living on the fringes, neighboring sushi can be a blessing. The Hart has Mr. Sushi and College Heights had Sendoâoh sorry, I meant SENDO!!! However, one aspect of the business I never appraised was its ramen, and I mean, why would I? It was called Sendo Sushi Factory. Friends had told me to partake in its ramen, and I had planned to do so on a return visit. Then came the previously mentioned turn, the palming of the sushi in one hand while secretly revealing the ramen while our attended had to be diverted. Few of us noticed the move. What had happened was its original owner (the sushi chef) had been sidelined by an injury and his son had taken up the mantle (so goes what I was told). The latterâs specialty was ramen, pushing sushi completely out of the menu and elevating the ramen as its sole feature. That took courage. Ramen is not a guaranteed economic windfall. It hasnât swept the globe like sushi or pho. Though admittedly a common site on menus, ramen is seldom the dominant aspect in the western hemisphere.In Japan, there are ramen museums. Someone will now tap loudly on their keyboards over the prevalence of ramen stands in Vancouver or Calgary, and Iâll counter by stressing my above wordingâsushi and pho are far more popular in those regions, and a small town like Prince George already has two pho and maybe a dozen sushi restaurants. Ramen Ya SENDO appears a novel local introduction. The uninformed may notice an aesthetic similarity to that of the more popular pho. Both feature a flavorful broth dominated by chunky ingredients and plentiful noodles in a bowl so large, one is likely to be swept in its undertowâ¦drowned when carried into the depths of oneâs own soup bowl. To compare pho to ramen is like comparing French onion soup to Azorean holy spirit soupâ¦wow, I just made an obscure reference; youâre welcome, fellow Azorean descendants. Both pho and ramen feature noodlesâ¦thatâs about it. The broth is different. The dominant ingredients are different. Even the noodles themselves are technically different. Mine had half a boiled egg just floating on the side. It was the garlic butter ramen while my friend took in the special, piri kara spicy miso ramen with stir fried spicy vegetable and with spicy ground turkey in extra spicy miso ramen soup. That was verbatim. Now, I like me some spice now and again, but when itâs mentioned four times in its description, I get cautious. East Asian restaurants can differ greatly in their opinions of what constitutes extra spicy, with some adding a dash of extra chili sauce while others empty a can of bear mace directly into your face. In retrospect, I could have handled this meal but didnât regret the one I ordered. The special came with a potato salad appetizer, which I thought was an odd choice. I appetized my meal (wait, can I use âappetizeâ that way in a sentence?) with a spicy sashimi platter. I considered the latter overpriced given the portion size, though the ramen bowls were a considerably better value. Mine was heaping, dominated by the abovementioned egg but with generous helpings of tofu, pork, corn, and noodles. Itâs also common to fringe the ramen with gyoza, which we both did. Ramen Ya SENDO looks a lot better now than when it was a modest-looking sushi bar. In its early days, it flaunted its tackiness openly. Now with Asian blinds and hardwood benches with loose cushions, itâs one of the better looking Japanese restaurants in town. I appreciate the lack of western cutlery, the warm sake in its traditional ceramic container, and flavors that are not conceding to western palettes. Sendo Sushi Factory was at best a slightly above-par sushi restaurant, but as Ramen Ya SENDO, it has created a niche not easily supplanted in a town generally resistant to new ideas. I hope it takes off and proves a success. I like Ramen Ya SENDO, more so than its predecessor, giving me just cause to visit it regularly. I applaud its new approach and am optimistic about its continued success. If this town growing trend to embrace new restaurants continues, this one should be on everyoneâs radar.Food: 4/5Service: 3/5Presentation: 4/5Value: 4/5Recommendation: 4/5

I like this tiny place for its freshness and service. It has essentially no atmosphere unless you think the convenience stores at gas stations have ambiance. Best to visit in non-winter months because expect at the back, every time a customer comes through the door (and it does have a lot of pick-up orders constantly coming and going), a blast of Arctic air pours in. The rolls are very tasty and often quite imaginative. It's on Highway 97 on the Hart and therefore, on the same road about 10 km north of the place I prefer.

Awesome Sushi and will return for sure. I had 2 salmon cone, California cone and my husband had beef teriyaki bowl with regular order of assorted Tempura. Portion sizes way bigger than other sushi restaurants. Super fresh and lots of flavour. Staff super friendly and fast service. I can see why all my friends said this it the place to go for Sushi. (I'm new to the area)Plus all of the above and bill was only $28. Well done Sushi97!

We always book the Teppanyaki Tables & order both their signature dishes - the Shogun Combo & the Godzilla Combo along with the chicken fried rice. Very awesome, tasty meal. The Teppanyaki chefs are friendly & funny. Very nice place for a special meal or a casual get together. Highly recommend:) !!

After the manager responded to my somewhat unfavourable review, I did decide to give my old favourite another try and, if anything, Wasabi is better than it was before the changes I was grousing about. My daughters always go for the rainbow roll and both were delighted. I was equally pleased with my dynamite roll. So glad to re-visit; we'll be backâoften!Thank you very much for giving us a try again. And we are very glad to hear that you are happy with our food. Hope we can see you soon.
