What User doesn't like about Sehmi Japanese Restaurant:
How can it be that sushi tastes stale? This restaurant mastered it somehow. Lettuce and mayo in a yam tempura roll to top it all off?? Outrageous. Overpriced for a outdated place that you have to call back again and again to place an order because they are too cheap to get seperate phone lines for payment method and incoming calls.. Save ur money and get ur sushi at a gas station.. As this restaurant probably does. View all feedback. What User likes about Sehmi Japanese Restaurant:

Location is just as you enter Port Alberni on the left side of the road. All of the food was excellent, fresh and tasty, reasonable prices.

I stopped for lunch today with a friend who'd been there before - it certainly doesn't look like a sushi restaurant from the road. It's a bit dark inside, too....

Been here lots with friends. Good food so much to chose from I usually have the teriyaki chicken rice. Always so busy.

Fabulous sushi and quick service on Mother’s Day! Friendly service. They were very busy. It’s a popular place just off the highway in the Timberlodge.

We stayed one night in Port Alberni and decided to have dinner here. Exceeded our expectations! Food was fantastic and the value was incredible.

I frequent this restaurant often and I am always satisfied. My new favorite dish is the sushi pizza, which is a must-try. The service is also excellent.
