Need a few other names for decent sushi.

Tojo - been here but 120 a head is a tad expensive and not something I want to do too often
Miku - been here also, spent about 120 a head min.; great new vibe, pretty cool, again, not some place i would go too often.

Ebisu - i enjoy this place, great unique menu, decent food and it's not epic pricy.

I am looking for something between Miku and Ebisu, somewhere that's decent, good reviews and in Vancouver.

I know Richmond has Hachi, which I have been, and I've also been to Seto, I vouch for those two places, I'm looking for a few more options to check out good places that's not as pricy as Miku. Anyone? Thanks!

[Jer3]

ajisai, ichiro, shiro, shima-ya, kiriri

[icemiko]

Kishimoto
Shima-Ya (Husband and wife run, kind of like Hachi but IMO way better)
Toshi
Kimura Sushi (I heard they changed owners, haven't tried it ever since they changed)
Ajisai Sushi Bar

[Matlock]

Kura Sushi near Metrotown. They have another location in Japan

[dinamix]

Minami yaletown

Nagano Port Moody

Sushi by Yuji on Kingsway.

[bcrdukes]

Sushi by Yuji on Kingsway.

I take it that OP has somewhat an expectation in mind seeing as he listed a few restaurants already and what he's looking for. He may or may not have seen my posts in the "Where Did You Last Eat" thread. Seeing that Sushi By Yuji still has to work out a few odds and ends, I personally would not recommend it unless he's willing to be open minded and to give them a fair chance.

[inv4zn]

Kura Sushi near Metrotown. They have another location in Japan

Kura is no longer Kura.

They were sold to some younger dude, they changed the name, the menu, everything. Only the crazy doors stayed.

I went in, and I didn't know, and I was like "oh, you guys aren't Kura anymore?" and the waitress gave me attitude and was like "no, it sais we're xxxx, can't you see!?"

Food is mediocre (much worse than before), service is terrible, and there is absolutely no reason to go here over the other ones.

[6793026]

Thank you all, I read the "last restaurant I've been too", just that when there are so many pages, you tend to forget. Great suggestions by all, all the reviews are all solid 4 - 5 stars so that's pretty cool. Minami yaletown is a well known one, i used to work right above their office, it's decent but nothing to rave about. Keep them coming.

How do you know he left BC?
Last I heard, he was looking to re-open closer to Kits?

Makes sense for kimura to move. Ppl in that area tend to look for cheap eats, including myself.

[Jer3]

yeah the chef at shima-ya is a bit more reserved and serious but friendly. he did say he was from toyama prefecture. anyways, the mebachi and kohada he served were definitely above average but the ika served here was excellent. its been the first ika i've had in vancouver that wasn't gummy at all and cut perfectly. the neta in general was all cut very nicely.

[blee123]

any good sushi places in North surrey that serves good sashimi salad also?

Preferably a place where you can talk and more comfy suits along with a good atmosphere

I second that.

Seriously a hidden gem. Sushi chef apprenticed under Tojo I believe and went to Japan for training.

Wife of the sushi chef is an excellent cook herself..she handles the hot non sushi foods.

Just look at their reviews on Urbanspoon:

Tokyo Thyme - Kerrisdale - Vancouver | Urbanspoon (http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/14/1534173/restaurant/Kerrisdale/Tokyo-Thyme-Vancouver)

The Sashimi salad, toro cones, and chicken teriyaki (diff from other places) = amazing

I eat there every time I shop in Kerrisdale. No question.


But when I'm at work downtown and craving for a quick cheap fix, I go to Momo. :lawl:

If you're in Whalley, it's pretty much just this:

Tokachi Japanese Restaurant - Surrey, BC (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/tokachi-japanese-restaurant-surrey)

The sushi was quite good and fresh, but I probably won't go back due to price and location. Not that it was expensive (it's average, personally I'd rather pay a bit extra for a place like Sushi Kamizato in Poco), and I'd rather not worry about my car when eating inside.

I eat alot of food in Vancouver. My life is always finding the best food in Vancouver, and I get depressed if I have a bad meal. I'm essentially a food hipster.

So when I say this is the best meal, and one of the most authentic meals i've ever had, that matched the 1-2 michilin star places that I've been to in Japan, i'm probably right.

Went and checked out Hanako today. It was great. It's the only place I've been to that served o toro. Everything was fresh. The saba was fantastic! My first uni was pretty good, too! O toro melts in your mouth. They thought I was Japanese because of what I ordered :). Will return.

[ed99]

Toshi on 16th got my vote in terms of quality and price. Love the mackerel and soft shell crab there. The sushi is very fresh. Try their hamachi and tuna belly sushi, it just melts in your mouth.

if talking about decent...its matsuyama or koto late night. beats ayce.

So far my favourite are Aoki (Kits), Hiyori (Vancouver), Sun Sushi (UBC). But if I had to chose between the three, it would be Aoki. Huge pieces and super fresh. Their Oysters are good too (plus cheap).

Matsuyama used to be decent, but I think it's really gone downhill.. The rice is old and disgusting.. Koto is great though!

For sashimi and nigiri, and some sushi, try Sushi Hachi in Richmond (not the Vancouver one).

Small restaurant.

ALWAYS full, and don't even think about going there without a reservation.

I see at least 4 or 5 parties get turned away all the time during a 1 hour eating session.

But, this is more for Sashimi and nigiri.. not sure if you wanted SUSHI only like ye olde Dynamite roll or specialty rolls.

Too bad Yuji's Tapas in Kitslano closed down 2 years ago. They had good SUSHI and Sashimi and hot plates. And, they offered brown rice options.

[JShifter]

Samurai Sushi, pretty good big portions and it's filling great deal.

[tru_blue]

hows "Take Sento" on Alexandra in Richmond? I heard its quite pricy. Do they serve sushi also?

[shenmecar]

Samurai Sushi, pretty good big portions and it's filling great deal.

Depends on which one. The one on Cambie is god awful. They give you the shitty cuts of salmon in their sushi rolls, the bit thats close to the skin so its very chewy. Their tuna sushi/sashimi is similarly as chewy, and sometimes even have a stringy texture. I haven't been there for a year now. So I guess they could've improved since the last time I went and had a terrible experience.

The one on Fraser is better imo.

[MelonBoy]

Been going to Sushi Holic lately.. i've noticed sushi garden quality is dropping quite a bit the last few times I went.


btw I hate matsuyama with a passion.. only place I've ever been to that I was so choked about the service and quality
I wanted to tell the server how horrible it was but didn't get the chance because she never came back to pick up the bill.
I left a happy note with no tip + I deducted a few things they charged us for which never even came.

[trancehead]

matsuyama is terrible. i would not even classify that as japanese food

and if you are just spending money there late night to just get full, there are many better alternatives to just put in the calories for a cheaper price

[kcl38]

Jumbo sushi in Richmond for creative rolls at a good price. I can't help but feel like they're struggling :(

Their rolls are waaaaayyyy too big to the point where it's kinda unappetizing.

Not even close to quality stuff, but it's decent for a cheap filling fix

And I do agree that the Fraser one is better than the Cambie one

Take Sento is not bad for their raw oysters. Buy 2 get 1 free, Effingham oysters from BC. Also buy 2 get 1 free skewers past 9pm.

[Presto]

Bumping this old thread!

For those in Langley, our go-to place is Umami Sushi on 64th, located next to Wired Monk, where Save-On Foods is. Their nigiri is excellent. Fantastic toro, every time. Prices are moderate. Ex: $2.50 for toro, $2 tuna, $2.25 salmon, $1.75 saba. My wife loves their dynamite rolls and beef teriyaki. Try their "Salmon Skinnies". It's, basically, salmon tempura and a scoop of imitation crab. It's awesome.

We've been going there a couple of years, and it's been fairly easy to get a booth. Apparently, the word is out that this is a good place to eat. My sister-in-law and her husband tried to go tonight (Tuesday!), but all the booths were full. They went to the Cloverdale location, which is also on 64th, and said the food was just as good at that location. So, that'll be the backup. :D

Also, I want to mention that Sushi Kamizato has become extremely popular. They have also raised their prices, significantly. Most of their nigiri is more than $3/piece. Saba is $3.40! I'm really happy for their success, but that's priced me out!

[LsquareD]

I went to Sushi Kamizato for the first time the other day and it was awesome. The owner/workers were super friendly and gave my GF and I a 10% off discount card for our next visit. The aburi toro nigiri was so delicious.

[miss_crayon]

Sushi K only increased their Saba because they now get it from Japan. Their success has been amazing and they really do appreciate for all the love they've been getting.

japhouse for the three roll combo. suuuper filling and tasty for the price. it's like I think 7.85 or 8.95.

Welcome to NAO Japanese Restaurant (http://www.naosushi.ca/)

I came into this thread looking to see if there were any reviews from anyone on this place. I've gone there for takeout a hand full of times and so far everything i've had has been great, but i'm no sushi expert so my expectations are probably different from those that eat it quite often. I've noticed that it's usually quite busy inside when I go and that's usually one of my indicators of a decent place.

Thumbs up from me, and prices seem quite reasonable. Maybe someone with more "sushi" experience can chime in with their thoughts on the place.

[Ch28]

Been to NAO Sushi for lunch a few times and it was busy each time. Quality to value is quite good and also one of the better ones in Burnaby.

Hiko sushi.
It's good for it's price to quality/quantity ration
it's run by chinese people, if that matters to you.

Order take out, don't do dine in. Takes FOREVER

[Ronin]

Koto, Bone, Takeya, and Torarenbo (although I haven't been there in ages) are the acceptable, cheap places for Japanese in Richmond.

Ichiro, Sushi Hachi and Seto are a step up, along with that place on #5 and Cambie and at Garden City/Blundell...forget the names.

any good take out sushi places in richmond?? im thinking either banzai or the jumbo sushi place from richmond center, which is better?!

Neither is better. They're all gross. Those places are to Japanese food what Fresh Slice is for pizza.

And don't get me started on AYCE. Unless you're in Vegas, buffet or AYCE isn't food.

[Verdasco]

no5 and cambie is kyoto i think, went there last week.

and chill with calling either places gross, i could care less as a young adult when i want something on the go on the pronto. Fresh slice is disgusting though so i can agree with that

[Ronin]

They are, though. You might as well buy supermarket sushi. Some of that stuff is scary. I don't mean to offend you but those places aren't that much cheaper than good sushi either so why eat crap? It just encourages more generic Japanese restaurants which we don't need more of in Vancouver. A salmon scallop don at Bone is $5.99 or something. You can eat a mountain of stuff at Koto after 9:30 for $15.

Fucking Fresh Slice tho...sometimes when you're drunk and you see that goddamn pizza, you think "Oh, this time, maybe it'll be awesome..." because it's like $1.99 and it's 3am...

...but it never is. It's always terrible...like microwaved frozen pizza. :ohgodwhy: It's not even bad in a good way, if you know what I mean.

[Presto]

Actually, I like the Fresh Slice in Fraser Heights. We've ordered from them a few times, and it's been fine each time.

Back on topic:
Has anyone tried Sushi Gio (by Colussus) or Noma (208 and 80) in Langley? How does it compare with Umami? The nigiri prices look really good.

the restaurant name is kiyo. it's been around forever and i believe it has changed ownership once or twice. the owner of sushi hachi i believe spent a few years there before opening his own place. nonetheless, the food is good but a tad overpriced like seto.

[xmisstrinh]

any good places out in Langley?

[Presto]

Umami Sushi next to Wired Monk on 64th is our usual go to place. Sushi is fresh. I recommend ordering Salmon Skinnies. It's salmon tempura cut into strips. They're not on the menu.

We recently tried Sushi Gio on 88th. The prices are lower than Umami, and the quality is similar. Don't bother with the (farmed) salmon. Make sure to order the sockeye, instead. I load up on the toro when I go there. $2/piece!

[crew08]

Maru 20361 Fraser hwy Langley is good

[punkwax]

Sushi avenue on 200 & 86th is good. The appetizer sashimi is big and really cheap. I thought they made a mistake the first time, ordered again and it was same size/price. Ordered it every time when I lived that way.

[Presto]

My brother-in-law and I tried out SushiCo for lunch, today. They're located next to Chapters in Langley. I put them through my usual nigiri run: toro, sockeye, saba, unagi and tai. Prices were moderate. However, the pieces of fish were big, and super fresh. My BIL really liked the saba, which he almost never does. The tai was decently tender. Their unagi was done really well. It was lightly torched, and marinated nicely. Good sauce, too. Their toro wasn't as tender as I'm used to, but the size and freshness made up for that.

Will definitely be back, at some point.

Hiraku sushi at the top of coast meridian. Small, but I thought it was pretty good for port coquitlam.

The hiraku roll is delicious. Just make sure you ask for no asparagus.

[Vansterdam]

what are good places for bento boxes in Vancouver?

[Ronin]

Anyone tried the place that opened up in Lansdowne? The Urbanspoon reviews are horrendous so far. My cousin told me about it and said they have a $100+ omakase menu, passing off fairly regular ingredients as "premium".

[Ronin]

Also, going to Shirakawa tomorrow. Anyone tried?

[TOS'd]

^ Haven't tried yet, wanted to for awhile now since I pass it daily. What time you going? /creepy

[Ronin]

...why? Because if you're coming to murder me, it would be pretty stupid of me to tell you.

[TOS'd]

Bigger fish to fry.

[bcrdukes]

STFU TOS'd

[guurl]

sushiful on Kingsway close by to boundary was pretty good - but it's a small shop. I think theyre sister restaurants with sushi garden

[TOS'd]

Keep res, ill just say im you. Is it a table for two?

[Verdasco]

They are, though. You might as well buy supermarket sushi. Some of that stuff is scary. I don't mean to offend you but those places aren't that much cheaper than good sushi either so why eat crap? It just encourages more generic Japanese restaurants which we don't need more of in Vancouver. A salmon scallop don at Bone is $5.99 or something. You can eat a mountain of stuff at Koto after 9:30 for $15.

Fucking Fresh Slice tho...sometimes when you're drunk and you see that goddamn pizza, you think "Oh, this time, maybe it'll be awesome..." because it's like $1.99 and it's 3am...

...but it never is. It's always terrible...like microwaved frozen pizza. :ohgodwhy: It's not even bad in a good way, if you know what I mean.

lol if fresh slice is my last resort. sorry, i would rather die. :heckno:

Anyone tried Sushicalifornia

what is the english name of the place?

[Ronin]

Yes but nobody makes good decisions when they're stumbling around drunk at 3am.

Fresh Slice is like the girls you've only seen through beer goggles. You think "Maybe this will be awesome?" because you're plastered so it seems like a good idea and then every single time it's :heckno:.

[Ronin]

what is the english name of the place?

Toku, I believe.

[m3thods]

Anyone tried Sushicalifornia

The one on North Road?

If that's a yes- if you've been to Sushi Garden/Town, you've been to Sushi California.

[shenmecar]

toyotami, ayce hotpot and sashimi :accepted:

I hate that place. The cut of salmon sashimi is so close to the skin it is chewy. Not to mention service is terrible. We had to ask several times for our hot pot meats. They also won't give you the quantity you asked for. For example, we wrote down 20 orders of beef and they only gave us like 5. We had a table of 6 hungry dudes that would devour 20 orders of beef in an instant. After 2 hrs (I think?) they refuse to give you any more food. Even though it is THEIR fault for forgetting our orders. They won't even give you dessert after time is up. "AYCE" my ass.

Went there for lunch today. A little pricey but I thought it was good. Got the Hiraku roll based off this recommendation, forgot to ask for no asparagus. I found it just fine with it, but then I like asparagus.

Also got the philly roll and assorted sashimi. Sashimi pieces were large and not frozen (yay!).

[Gerbs]

They have dessert at toyotami wat. I felt like they never cut my order before when I went. That's why I love it. Their sashimi is cut really close to the skin but I'm not too picky about it.

[Truenosan]

Not worth it imo. Nice restraunt and all, very spacious etc. Japanese sushi chefs and waitresses. However, food is overpriced imo. I don't mind paying top dollar for good stuff, but this place seems like that middle point between a reg Japanese restraunt and an izakaya.

yeah they have dessert, mango pudding.

[Gerbs]

wow, never knew. I thought it was the pineapple crap. Do you have to ask?

[Ronin]

Goddamn, Shirakawa is pretty expensive...

[TOS'd]

Goddamn, Shirakawa is pretty expensive...
Yup, what did you get?

[fuhkyu]

Is there any decent sushi in north delta?

[Hondaracer]

Anyone tried Sushicalifornia

Me and the GF go there quite a bit as it's the shortest walk from her place

Nothing close to top quality but the price certainly is right.

[Ronin]

Yup, what did you get?

Uh...ebi abo, chicken wings, black cod, salmon belly, 5x sashimi platter and the cold chicken udon, IIRC.

[TOS'd]

Looking forward to your review of the place.

[Presto]

lol if fresh slice is my last resort. sorry, i would rather die. :heckno:

OT, sorry.

The only Fresh Slice I have experience with is the one in Fraser Heights, in the Esso. My in-laws have ordered from there many times, and it's been consistently decent. It's not spectacular, but if you want pizza, it definitely quells that craving successfully.

Back on topic:

Langley has a lot of frickin' sushi, and I've been trying to visit new ones. It's hard to break free from the usual place since they've been so good, and they give us free stuff a lot. I'm going to have to start logging my visits.

[hchang]

I'm pretty interested in knowing this too.

I tried the one on 84th and 112 and man was that horrible

Isn't it all the same? It tastes like cheese spread on cardboard.

If you're in FH order from Fraser Glen man not fresh slice lol

Gourmet pizza up at giant foods there used to have stupid good pizza but the owner got caught selling dope or somthig and now it's that "DDDN pizza" which is even worse than fresh slice. Gourmet used to taste a lot like Best Neighbors in Van

[fuhkyu]

I went to Akari on 72 & 120 ... not terrible but definitely wasn't good - lack of decent sushi in the area means a lot of subway for lunch at work :fuckthatshit:

[411ken]

haven't tried myself but I've been told that Kami Sushi in delta (strawberry hill area) is pretty good.. Will probably try it soon

Last time we went to Akari, the service was just bad.. didn't bother going again after

are there any AYCE sushi in surrey/Langley/cloverdale at all? if so, are they any good?

[Presto]

Took another try at SushiCo tonight with the wife. They are the new favorite, along with Umami Sushi. Their pieces are big and fresh. Dip it in some soy, and down the hatch. Delicious. Their unagi and saba are excellent. The tai is really tender, too.
