" I had a lovely experience at Shawnigan Jens last week! The sushi rolls were perfect for sharing, and they had such a variety to choose from. The dynamite roll was our favorite—full of flavor and very fresh. The place can get a bit crowded, which can lead to a slightly longer wait time for food. However, the staff were very attentive, checking in regularly, which kept the mood light. Dining outside overlooking the lake added charm to the meal. Can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

My dining experience was smooth, and I loved the outdoor seating setup. If you’re in the area, don’t miss out on this lovely eatery! " (*Curated Review*)
