Outstanding dinner at Nanaimo Oyster Bar. Local oysters, bbq beef, a salad and garlicy edamame. Best part they serve the world class Mua craft sake made in Vietnam. I will definitely go back!

Not a fan of oysters but i have to say these oysters were the best i have ever had, especially the Canada oysters. Very meaty and firm. I cannot recommend this enough. The pawn rolls were also very tasty and worth ordering. We also ordered the steak but it tasted very chewy (medium) and not that great. Better just go here for oysters. Services were great and tentative. Great place to go on a date night!

We wanted to try the lobster rolls . Bit of an anticlimax, especially after trying the same dish recently in USA . - the lobster didn’t taste or look so fresh . We also ate oysters : - the oysters , were so so . The best thing about this restaurant was the sparkling water, the perfect bubble ! Mixed with Vietnamese lime , the sparkling water was the perfect drink .
