Long awaited....Moltan Roll Bar a little nook in Kits that I have seen time and time again on social media but have never made trek out for. Luckily my cousins were in town and wanted to give it a shot. We came in on a quiet Monday afternoon and were sat quickly. The food came promptly and very nicely plated - everything looked so pretty! We were also given complimentary drinks which was a really nice gesture. Sushi: The hot blue roll was okay - I think the sauce was a bit on the heavier side and it was harder to taste the actual fish. I liked the deep sea crab roll - real crab meat was very yummy! Bluefin trio definitely hit the spot - the fish quality is good. My cousin in law ordered the Chutoro Uni don to fix her cravings and she felt that it was good but since the restaurant had run out of local uni and only had Hokkaido uni (she was looking forward to local uni), she personally felt it was not as good as some other places she's been to in Vancouver. Pasta: The rose lobster pasta was such a pleasant surprise - it comes with a whole lobster tail on top which was very delicious! The flavour was good, great for tomato lovers who want a rich flavourful pasta. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. Service was amazing - our tea cups were never empty and the server even gave us citron tea in to go cups afterwards. So sweet. My cousins felt that the cost to quality ratio wasn't quite there but I would like to come back to try some of the other things and hopefully enhance my flavour town experience next time.

Gourmet cuisine that’s prepared with passion and kindly served in a very tight and intimate setting. I think I will call this place Sushi Sauna. Impressive variety on the menu with a bizarre and somewhat inconsistent pricing structure. That being said, the least expensive items did not fail to impress. We’ll be back!

Last minute decision to come here but glad we did. Food was absolutely amazing and we really enjoyed our time in this great little space. The truffle scallop roll was especially delicious and the sashimi tartar was a great starter. Service was good but was asked to move a table over half way through the meal which wasn’t great. Over all we would definitely return in the future and would recommend to others.

I’ve known about this shop for a while and finally tried it today. Take it home and don’t have to wait for a table! The food is of high quality and the taste is well matched. The risotto is cooked just right. The service attitude when picking up the takeout is very good. Seeing that the weather is freezing, the hot grapefruit tea is very attentive.

We are shocked this place does not have a higher rating. We have been here many times and the chirashi and rolls never disappoint. The only shortcoming for us is the pasta which we tried once but you are not here for that anyway. One of our favorite places anywhere.
My husband and I love it here! It’s our favourite sushi restaurant. We come here often and the food is always good and the workers are always kind. I’d definitely recommend Moltan to any sushi fan!

Fresh sushi, friendly staff and an absolute bop of a playlist. Little bit cold by the door but easily avoidable if you request further away. I ordered the salmon sashimi, salmon don, Negitoro maki and my absolute favourite from tonight the Mt. Salmon roll which was so tasty and melted in my mouth.Parking: Limited parking and street parking nearby. Large Kits beach parking lot a few blocks down.
