" The sushi was quite good but not as authentic as I had hoped. I’ve had sushi in Japan, and while Seh-mi’s flavors were decent, they felt a bit watered down for Western tastes. The miso soup and tempura, however, were well-prepared. The staff were friendly, though our waiter seemed a little distracted. I’d consider coming back for the special rolls but may try somewhere else for a strictly authentic experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food is quite good, but there were too many off-putting little issues. My seat was close to a window where the cold wind blew in, and my soup was lukewarm. On top of that, service was slow when the restaurant was busy. I've heard positive feedback, but my experience fell short of my expectations. I'd try again on a different day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've eaten sushi all over the country, and Seh-mi’s quality rates among the top. Closely aligned with authentic flavor profiles and rich textures, every dish I tasted felt lovingly prepared. Whether it was the sushi, sashimi, or their enticing bento boxes, I wouldn’t criticize a thing. Service was 5-star—and on a busy night! I’ll definitely return when I’m in Courtenay again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing experience at Seh-mi. The sushi I ordered was incredibly salty and the rice felt overcooked. I shared my feedback with the server but didn’t get much response in terms of improvement. The atmosphere was busy, and I felt like just another order instead of a valued customer. Hopefully, they can improve these aspects because I've heard good things. " (*Curated Review*)

" When I walked into Seh-mi, I felt a sense of warmth from the decor to the staff’s welcoming smiles. The sushi was a mix of traditional and modern styles, which made for an exciting meal. I especially loved the creative rolls. Only downside was the wait time, so plan accordingly. But I’d go back in a heartbeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" From rolls to ramen, everything at Seh-mi was a delight! My only grievance would be the pacing of service; it felt a bit slow when we were there. However, I can’t complain about the quality—truly exceptional! Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a refreshing dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent food but the wait was a bit long due to the peak dinner hours. The sushi was delightful and had lots of options to choose from. Their Korean fried chicken was also a highlight! The atmosphere has a casual vibe, which was perfect for dinner with friends. I will certainly be returning for that chicken! " (*Curated Review*)
