kadoya on davie?

that place was wicked..good price as well

[Durrann1984]

Won't comment on the sushi, but their teriyaki (28$? can't remember the exact price) tastes about the same as a 10-15$ one.

lol really? dang fuk dat.. i'll just walk across the street..to tomokazu and order all u can eat..with $28

[hongy]

lol has ne 1 tried Tojo's? haha
i mean how does a $40 plate of sushi taste like

Sister told me that the sushi did not taste that different from other places. Nothing special basically.

[Blinky]

Sakae, which I've mentioned in this (or another Japanese food thread) closed on Jan 31. The lease is up on their downtown property and the owners decided to close up shop. :cry:

[pintoBC_3sgte]

man i miss having sushi.. havent had any for like 8 months since moving away from the lower mainland

[Armind]

So I tried Maruwa last night. You can find my review here! (http://www.revscene.net/forums/wheres-last-place-t530956.html?p=6278545)

Very well written. :thumbsup:

[Ronin]

^ How much is sushi in Japan anyways?

You can have a omakase at Sushi Dai for 3780 yen. Unfornately, that's about $50 at the current exchange rate but when I was there over the summer, it was around 100 yen = $1.

Well worth it. I actually think my bill the second time I went came closer to 12000 yen since I ordered quite a few more pieces of otoro.

<eats otoro>

Me: (to chef) "Uh...one more."

<eats otoro>

Me: "...one more."

<eats otoro>

Me: "... ...one more"

Repeat this about 10 times, with each piece being 700 yen/$7.

One of the best meals I've ever had in my life and by far the best sushi. I haven't had sushi for awhile now except for some really good places in Vancouver.

[Ronin]

And what'd you quote me for, hotbaby? :IDL

[jakolantern]

Toshi's.

[miss_crayon]

kadoya on davie?

for the price you pay, it's worth what you get.
but in terms of taste and quality...it's pretty average

[joolee]

recently tried tokyo joe in richmond, it's really good!! plus the price is cheap

[DeeK]

Best sushi in town is EASILY Benkey Sushi in Aldergrove. I've never had anything even remotely close in my life.

Cheap too. cost $70 for three of us to eat until we could barely walk.

I don't see what's wrong or funny about what I wrote. Lots of sushi around here is crap, including all the AYCE places and the majority of the places were you get California rolls the size of your forearm.

[TRDood]

went to Toshi's last night. 45min wait and the sushi was very good. one complaint is that they use powdered wasabi.... wtf



however, i would rather go Kura because 1. no wait 2. they have way more selection 3. real wasabi

[bbbj]

Toshi's is good, but seriously it isn't worth the wait times. There are many other little japanese places like Toshi's with sushi that is just as good with little or no wait time.

Thread title:
"Best sushi in town" (presumably best quality)

Equivalent to your analogy:
"Best car available" (given this site, probably "fastest"/best performer)

So... Civicblues is right on the ball here. We're talking about the "best in town". Hell. AYCE is NOT quality. AYCE is about stuffing your face. So, I too will say AYCE = crap quality.

I had my AYCE phase several years ago, and for those where quantity is more important than quality, fine. However discussion of AYCE as "best" is laughable... it's easier to laugh and ignore than to flame. Though flaming might be enjoyable.

Has anyone tried the new place in metropolis called Kawawa? underneath silvercity across from freshslice pissa (used to be toshi)

they have all you can eat jap
decently priced it seems , exterior looks great
just wondering if anyone tried the all u can eat and whats included etc.

[xnguyen]

^ that place is good! And the Ramen Res. too.

[unit]

went to hachi sushi in kerrisdale. fair prices, great food.
$40 for the two of us after tip, ordered spicy tuna roll, negitoro roll, unagi roll, and some fancy roll, also salmon sashimi and vegetable tempura.
was very good! recommended.

[Gt-R R34]

Anyone with suggestions for Sushi place now a days?

I need a place, and it has to have decent decor, service.

It's a business dinner, and they want sushi. I thought about Tojo's but that's not the best sushi for price. :)

Any other suggetions?

seto is great. go there every once in awhile. its a bit pricey but quality is usually pretty good. they also seem to carry rarer items on their menu that some other restaurants don't (basashi, katsuo, botan-ebi etc.). whenever im there for lunch, the hokke bento never ceases to disappoint.

recently, i've been heading to ichiro in steveston for lunch. never knew of their lunch menu till recently so it was a surprise to find that prices were pretty much on par with their sister restaurant takeya during lunch hour. they also make possibly the best saba shioyaki in vancouver.

DREAM SUSHI.

4401 Main Street at 28th Ave
Vancouver, BC V5V 0A2

Pretty cheap as well! It's just one of those nice, small sushi places.

Got 100% in reviews ---> http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/14/15076...ushi-Vancouver

I love that place. I eat there frequently.

Here's the menu for the prices ---> http://www.yummyweb.com/show_store.php?sid=449

You can have a decent meal for under 10 bucks. About $15 tops if you really want to indulge.

$6.50 from 11:30am to 3:00pm for a special lunch deal which includes two dishes (rolls, rice bowls, etc.) and miso soup.

$12.95 for a dinner special which includes three dishes, salad, and miso soup.


[9.5/10] overall from me

[miss_crayon]

So fyi: the place I forgot the name of is zipang sushi which bcrdukes made a post about in the main forum.

I haven't been here in ages and don't know if its still there but when I worked in richmond (back in like 06) I'd always go to this place called sushi han. I think it was on blundell..and gilbert? Blundell and something. I do believe it was owned by japanese people and everything was always tasty!

Sushi Hachi +1, that is about right, the last few times I went it is usually $50+ per person, but we ordered a lot of blue fin tuna lol.

Don't every try Miku, I am not trying to sound racist, but Miku is kind of white/japanese fusion mixed in a bad way. The quality is very very average, and the dishes can be found in any other japanese restauarant.

[SpoonFit]

Theres a low key resturant in New Westminster called ASUKA SUSHI.
Place is very small and looks pretty shitty, but DAMN their sushi is one of the best i ever tried, SPICY TUNA ROLL OMFG, unreal.

You won't be disappointed. I've been going to Miku since it opened and can't get enough of their food. Their sushi is quite different from your normal sushi too which makes it great. Whatever you do you must get the Aburi Salmon sushi. Just talking about it i think I'm gonna go in a couple days again haha

[DGiRL]

I LOVE SUSHI in Coquitlam is the best sushi joint, imo.
it's on Schoolhouse street, in that complex right beside Silvercity and between Zone bowling and Pearl Fever.
They have a bunch of different rolls. My personal favorite is the Energy roll with salmon, tuna sashimi avocado and philly cheese.. then it's deep fried in tempura batter and served with their special hot sauce!

Lots of people love the crunch roll there, which is a california roll deep fried in tempura batter. and they have a hot night roll with spicy tuna topped with sashimi and hot sauce. or the rj dancing roll with scallops on top. everytime you go there, you can try something different... and generally if you make nice with them, they'll customize your roll for you. I'm friends with the owner's daughter/servers so maybe it makes me biased, but they treat all their customers like their friends.

I don't eat sushi anywhere else anymore, haha. Not very expensive.. miso soup and edamame are usually included and about 6-7 bucks for a roll and they're pretty huge. I can barely finish one roll. I'd rate them a 10/10 =)

damn getting two mixed reviews here about miku

but guys try out HANAKo in surrey, near guildford

not the prettiest restaurant, but they have some of the freshest fishes out there. Their blue fin tuna is a lot better than Sushi hachi, i ordered 3 pieces and was very disappointed after what i had at Hanako.

Give hanako a try and see what you guys think.

sushi hachi chef recommand sashimi is almost a rip off, $25 bux for a TINY pieces taster appe. The deluxe assorted nigiri sushi for $25 is much better value

There's only 1 way to find out and that's to go try it for yourself. Hit me up if you want some reccomendations. Neither me or the other guy have really gone into detail why I think it's good and why he thinks it sucks. So really you have no basis in our reviews right now. I'm still standing pat that I think their food is pretty awesome and that a lot of their sushi you can't really get anywhere else.

i'm a purist so i can say im on the boat which is against miku. i prefer my nigiri to be without any kind of tampering so i can taste the quality and freshness instead of it being masked by being made into aburi (which miku claims to copyright which is beyond me) or sauced to hell. if i'm to compare the quality of miku vs say sushi hachi, the quality makes sense. flying in aji, kohada, kinmedai, ootoro etc. is expensive so its understandable but miku doesn't seem to have anything different from the usual offerings i'd get from a regular place minus the posh ambiance, service and highly absurd prices apparently.

[donot521]

They have packaged sushi, ideal for lunch. It's OK, but not great. If you want pretty good take-out/packaged sushi, I think Izumiya on 3 Road+Alderbridge(next to Espot) one ups Fujiya.

Understanding and although Miku is one of me and my gf's favorite joints we don't always go there. Depending on our mood sometimes we just want good ol regular rolls and nigiri. I wouldn't say their sushi is masked the shit out of with sauce though but thats me. Their prices also aren't as bad as one thinks. At least it's not like going to Tojo's or whatever that place is on Broadway. =\

[bcrdukes]

I grew up having sushi from Fujiya either because I had swimming lessons at Britannia Pool and because I went to Britannia Secondary. Fujiya was just a short walk from school. :)

I haven't been to Fujiya in ages but if my memory serves me correct, they have your basic run-of-the mill nigri and maki sushi (nothing exotic) and several options for take-out bento boxes consisting of chicken, beef teriyaki and grilled salmon bento boxes. They also have a few choices for dons such as oyako don and unagi don. They may or may not have expanded their offerings over the years but I can't see them doing that.

If you ever do visit Fujiya it happens to be a location where they make the sushi in-house, ALWAYS ask them to make the sushi fresh so that way you know you're getting the freshest sushi possible. They will not hesitate! I hope that gives you a basic idea of what they serve. By no means does Fujiya serve gourmet sushi. :D

Edit: FML. If you were referring to Izumiya, I am sorry for the fuck-up of a post made towards Fujiya. :p

All "Japanese" restaurants serving sushi can be considered white/Japanese fusion, actually. Any restaurant serving California Rolls or Spicy Tuna Rolls or any roll where the rice is on the outside of the roll is not authentic, traditional Japanese sushi. Ask for a California Roll at a traditional sushi restaurant in Japan: they won't know what the hell you're talking about, and when you explain it to them, you'll get kicked out. :p

miku is excellent if you are looking for a fusion white style specialty food. it has rolls that are amazing, like those specialty ones in ebisu. it has wonderful wagyu beef sashimi which melts in your mouth. in other words, miku is only good for those of you who are looking for a different japanese food. not a typical nigiri or sushi restaurant. more fusion, more modern, and more "white".

the ambiance is top notch. extra roomy, high ceiling. lots of windows. bright environment. service is excellent, lots and lots of staff so you're rarely neglected.

washington wagyu beef sashimi on top, melts in your mouth. really soft and meat flavorful
premium aburi sushi on bottom. decent freshness, but its the sauce that captures all the taste. order this if you are looking for good sauced nigiri. don't order this if you want to taste fresh fish only.
http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/3113/img0002fdq.th.jpg (http://img41.imageshack.us/i/img0002fdq.jpg/)
aburi salmon oshi. rice in the bottom, salmon in the middle, rice on top of that. another salmon on top, and then the miku sauce. lastly, jalapeno on the very top for an extra spice. really really flavorful. very delicious.

fish is fresh enough, but there are better places out there and not as overpriced. food is good at miku in general, even the ok-fresh sashimi. it is loud, reminds me of guu.

^ Agreed. For the price I paid I rather go tojo's but that too is expensive and "overpriced".

[Senna4ever]

If you think Sushi Garden is amazing, you're not much of a connoisseur. There's too much rice on the inside-out rolls, the rolls looks like they were made by an amateur, the sashimi isn't very high grade, and the arrangement of the sushi/sashimi is also amateurish.

jason (senna4ever) was a sushi chef at a popular yaletown eatery for years so I think he knows a thing or 2 about sushi.

This restaurant serves the best sushi and Korean bbq that I ever had in Richmond. :thumbsup:

7997 Westminster Hwy, Unit 250

-went there for lunch with a friend recently. Delicious sushi rolls. The servers are attentive and definitely know the menu items.

Recommend this sushi roll:

Big Roller ( Chopped Scallop + Tempura Crunch topped with Unagi and Avocado ).

-will definitely go back to Charcoal to try out their dinner menu and Korean BBQ.

The only drawback to this restaurant is the location. Because Charcoal is on the 2nd floor next to London Drugs, the restaurant is not visible on the street level when you drive down that part of Richmond.

Good reviews on dinehere.ca: http://dinehere.ca/richmond/charcoal-sushi-and-bbq-restaurant

cant believe cheap ass mofo actually thinks korean sushi is GOOD quality.
:rolleyes: they are big, and thats about it.

Is Charcoal the one that took the spot of the korean place between London Drugs and the Chinese Seafood restaurant?

So where would you recommend for best bang for buck?

[Senna4ever]

So where would you recommend for best bang for buck?
I never go for cheap. Food isn't worth being cheap. My personal favourites are Octopus' Garden on Cornwall and Maple, Kingyo (more of an Izakaya) on Denman & Haro, Yuji's Japanese Tapas on 4th & Burrard, Shiro on Cambie & 15th, or Tokiwa on Oak and 22nd. Of all the places I listed, Shiro is probably the best bang for the buck.

I used to go to Kibune on Cornwall & Yew, but they've really dropped in quality recently. Their prices are also a bit high. I didn't mind the high prices, as the food was good. I've noticed hardly any Japanese people there anymore, just Kits locals who don't know any better.

But better yet when I get it made at home with the more rare fresh rices right out of japan the really expensive fresh tasty shit you cant get here :p

[Senna4ever]

senna, do you know any restaurants locally that serve buri or shako?
Buri is a strange thing. It's not available on a consistent basis in Vancouver. The supplier would call us or the salesman would come by and tell us when the Buri is going to come in and if we would like a fillet. In our case, it's so similar to Hamachi I rarely ordered it. Sometime I wouldn't order Hamachi and bring in the Buri just for kicks. One thing many people don't know is that Buri and Hamachi are the same fish. Buri is the adult fish, Hamachi is the juvenile. There is also a name for a baby Buri that is smaller than Hamachi, about 30cm long, but I forgot its name - I just remember it as being very tasty! :p I personally don't like eating Hamachi/Buri because 100% of the fish sold here is farmed and air lifted from Japan - this is why it's so expensive here. In Japan, Hamachi isn't very popular, and it's very cheap. The baby Hamachi is wild caught, not as fatty, and it doesn't have that metallic aftertaste that farmed fish tend to have.

Shima-ya has extremely fresh fish, the owner was the head sushi chef at Chiyoda on Alberni Street before they closed a few years back. Its located at 5589 Victoria at 41st and like all good sushi places they are closed on Mondays (its a fish supply thing). Prices are very reasonable and there's lots of free parking around plus there's a London Drugs next door in case you need to do any last minute shopping.

It's not a "fish supply thing." It has to do with the fact that most of Canada's statutory holidays are on a Monday, so it saves labour costs to be closed on Mondays.

the busy restaurant just shows how the delicacy of the food overtakes the shitty service. :whistle: or in other words, ppl take into minimal consideration of the service, because the food is just too good!

im not surprise if people walk out just because they have to wait 15-20min to pay for their bill

people need to start doing that so sushi garden get the message not to make people wait in line just to pay for the god damn bill

May as well put this question in this thread.

Are there any good sushi restaurants in Surrey aside from Hanako? I don't care about size of the rolls or anything, I just want some quality fresh sushi for a decent price.

Tobiko on 160th St and Fraser Hwy is pretty good, but aside from them and Hanako I don't know of any others worth going to.

Akasaka used to be good but over the past year their quality has suffered.

its hard for me to say which is better, bad food, good service, or good food, bad service. either can ruin a meal.

in sushi house's case, its bad service (and wait times) and decent food with big portions. you see mostly young people in there because for them they're willing to wait long and endure bad service.

Hell yes. I've posted a review on Yelp. Hands down best in Surrey for sure, and arguably one of the best in the lower mainland. I just posted about it in the 'what's in surrey' thread.

I just hope it doesn't get too hyped up where they start rushing orders and the quality diminishes.

So is spearing a salmon up at Capilano and munching into it... Samurai is seriously disgusting, got so sick last time I ate there many eons back when I didn't know any better :heckno:

With that being said, is Tokachi better than Hanako? I don't frequent Surrey often but I was down at Hanako last month and it was one of the best sushi places I've been to. If Tokachi is really better than them ... it could possible be worth another drive out there to try it ... :accepted:

[PJ]

well hes right, nothing beats it in terms of portions and price..

This is technically true..

But it's at a point where their portions are TOO big to even enjoy. I remember when I went there years ago, each piece of the spicy tuna roll was like the size of a tennis ball.

Also, I watched the chefs repeatedly use the same cloth they keep tucked in their apron to wipe their hands, the table, and their knives, in that order. Which then they proceed to cut more food with their only knife.

I'm not going back, ever.

But I guess if low price and big portions are certain people's main concerns, then I could see how it'd make sense to get their sushi fix here. You get like double the portions for the same price at the next below-average sushi joint.

[Obsideon]

It's so big that you can't even put it in your mouth properly without looking like Shrek, and it just isn't right to be biting chunks out of a piece of sashimi ... or when the rolls are so big you have to eat it in 3 bites, which then it's not really a "sushi" anymore. I've seen the House roll, or Alaska rolls at Samurai, it's impossible to eat in one bite, so therefore you take one bite, get a mouthful of avocado, then the next bite is just rice and tuna, then the last bite is imitation crab meat. Sushi is meant to be prepared so that you can enjoy all the flavours combined to get the full effect, not chunks of seperate pieces. You might as well grab a whole avocado, take a bite, swallow. Then grab a piece of salmon from the fridge, take a bite of that, then spoon some rice into your mouth while your at it?

Famoso Pizzeria

First of all, the place is not a sit down service and is a chain restaurant. And for some people on commercial, it can turn away some people who dont want to bother(I saw 5 couples walk away after realizing the concept), but if you stay, the food is worth it! The pizzas can easily compete with anyone in the city, and the dessert and gelato list was impressive. The service and overall chain feel stopped it from a 9, but im sure the'll iron out the kinks before all is said and done. Overall if you have a gf, or wanna go on a date with a girl who will ONLY go to cactus,earls, blah blah blah, this is the place for you lol.
