28 Best Japanese Restaurants in Richmond

“Great coffee stop and baked goods! Loved their strawberry matcha latte and coffee misto.

Would like to come back and try what they offer in terms of food options. But I did see that if you are stopping for food it's a minimum of spend $16 per person.“

“Such a good a sushi place, been going here for awhile and love it, new staff member Jamie was so lovely to deal with, she made a mistake on our order by accident (it happens!) & fixed it right away she was very friendly and sweet hope to get her as our waitress next time we eat in! Thanks again for everything Jamie!“

“정말 맛있어요.돈까스도 치즈돈까스도 새우튀김도 굳입니다“

“Both food and pricing are good. Highly recommended“

“If you love bold flavors and a good spice challenge, Curry Soup Garaku is the place to be! Their spice levels range from 1 to 40, making it perfect for everyone—from mild spice lovers to heat daredevils. I tried Level 30 (definitely not for the faint of heart!) and had to tap out after a few bites, but their lassi was a lifesaver. My partner finished Level 30 like a champ, though not without breaking a sweat!

I ended up switching to Level 5 and absolutely loved it—so flavorful and balanced. The curry soup is rich, comforting, and packed with delicious ingredients. They also have $1 chicken wings during happy hour, which are a great addition to the meal.

The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy, perfect for a fun date night or a casual hangout. Highly recommend for anyone looking to try something unique and exciting!“

“Haven't been to Yuu for a while and we went back last week. Price didn't go up much despite the inflation. Kids order some special drink and the staff even gave them a small ice-cream cone to top it off. Great gesture. Would definitely be going back more often.“

“Definitely a great place to hangout with friends and family. Very special place with all great staff, lots of special foods in their menu.

Vegetarian options: Lots of choices

Kid-friendliness: My kids love it there

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access at ground level door entrance“

“I ordered the truffle cream fettuccine and it was great, even though it was a take out the pasta wasn’t dry out and the truffle flavour was there with two pcs of shaved truffle on top 😋😋 so yummy and probably tastes even better at the restaurant!! Will def dine in next time!! Thanks again Kohei!!“

“Great tasting sushi!“

“Since hubby misses Japan (the food especially) immensely, I decided to bring Japan to him for his birthday! It was more than we could've hoped for from the gracious hosts, Chef Ray and wife Christine, to the gorgeous presentation of each course, the preparations of each item, the texture, the taste and the cosy atmosphere. We savoured each bite, while enjoying the friendly banter between the hosts and a couple of their regulars at the bar seating. Highly recommend! side note: I was impressed by just how meticulous and thoughtful they are when I saw they even put a little decor under the washroom sink.“

“very good sushi. highly recommended“

“6 stars! Best Ramen in BC so far for me.“

“Kid-friendliness: Superb friendly excellent service and a calm relaxing family friendly atmosphere! My kid loves their sushi especially the cheese potato roll! Highly recommend the chicken curry don. Such generous servings too!! If you come hungry you’ll definitely leave substantially gastronomically appeased and happy!“

“Had lunch omakase yesterday, and the ingredients were incredibly fresh. The chef and staff were very friendly and talkative! I was delighted to try a new sake. I can confidently say this is the highest quality omakase I’ve had in Vancouver—better than the two Michelin-starred Japanese restaurants I’ve tried before. The only thing I think could be improved is that the flavors were a bit on the salty side. If they were a touch milder, it would better highlight the freshness of the ingredients. We also celebrated our anniversary here, and the staff were kind enough to take a photo for us.“

“The Chicken Katsu is pretty good, the chicken is made to order and comes out crispy and has good flavor. The curry portion is a little bit on the small side and maybe a spoonful short for the meal. Overall I would recommend Katte when eating at Lansdowne, I definitely will add it to the rotation of places I eat at when there“

“Really enjoyed lunch with the curry tendon on rice. Staff was friendly and had a very nice atmosphere. Pleasant Japanese music was playing in the background. Each table had a small traditional dish of pickled daikon. Yummy. Street side parking just outside“

“The place is neat and tidy.
Staff are friendly.

I love the Udon. The taste was good.
Kid's menu portion was generous when compared to my udon. 😆
The salmon sushi was great, too!

This is a Janpanese restaurant runned by, I believe, Korean.“

“Pretty good food there. I like the ambience and the noodles. Will go back and try the other stuff.“

“美味的日本餐 服務周到“

“Incredible service, freshest ingredients“

“This place is very good. 100% recommend. They have tea for free (obviously), but for like $7 for chicken noodles and yummy, I would say this place is very good and they have a lot of accuracy. For $40 for 4 people? That is great!

Parking: There are parking spots near, on the street, and a parking lot nearby

Kid-friendliness: They are friendly to kids.“

“👌🏻fine quality et excellent service“

“Tsujiri at OpenRoad Toyota Richmond is a unique and authentic Japanese café experience. The matcha, green tea, and soba were all excellent, giving a real taste of Japan. While enjoying your food, you can look around at the Toyota cars, which adds a unique touch to the setting. It feels like the café is tailor-made for the Japanese management, and we’re lucky to enjoy it with them. Big praise to the management for creating such an authentic Japanese atmosphere. The Japanese staff is super friendly and welcoming!“

“Amazing little hole in the wall that should be on "You Gotta Eat Here" or Triple Ds. Freaking AWESOME food! I went with my husband, son, and his buddy. We all loved every bite. I am a chef and find it difficult to enjoy meals in many restaurants but this one-man show is the real deal. It's hard work. If you are looking for a romantic posh quaint cafe where you will be gushed over by the staff, this isn't the place for you. If you want genuine home made excellent fresh food that you will never forget than give it a shot. Be prepared to wait. The gentleman who owns it also is the chef, host,server, and cashier. A genuine character. Every meal is made to order and well worth the wait. Not recommended for vegan.“

“Service was prompt and friendly 🙏🏻

Ramen 👌🏻
- Chewy noodles, if that's your preference
- Rich and perfectly salted broth, so you can slurp the bowl clean
- Luscious chashu (braised pork belly)

Yakitori (skewers) were hit/miss. Ordered the omakase set - most were tender and well seasoned, while a couple were over-charred and bland.

Recommend:
- kokuton shoyu ramen
- shio ramen“

“Phenomenal food. Ordered the soba noodles soup, spicy salmon rolls, and some various tempura. Food all tasted very fresh. However, it is on the pricier end and the portions could be a little larger.

The service is great too! They check in on you just enough to make sure you are good but not so much as they do in most typical restaurants. Excellent ambience and experience overall.“

“5⭐️ Best sashimi i ever had , great service very clean . High quality of food definitely go back .“
