Not worth to have a dinner. A little above average taste of Japanese restaurant , but the price is way higher, too expensive. The dishes are not tasty at all. Not recommended as well.

My family of 5 have been to this restaurant twice and have had amazing experience each time! The staff took time to explain the menu and made sure we were well fed! We will definitely be back soon for another special occasion! Chef Sada makes amazing art sushi and sashimi!

Food was delicious. I got the daily special baked oysters, max, otoro, chutoro, scallop, hamachi toro, kampachi toro and foie gras sushi. Everything was delicious! My favorite was probably between the foie gras sushi, max tuna, and baked oysters. It is a bit on the pricey and slow side but definitely worth it!

This is a difficult one to review. The food was good, but honestly not worth the price. You are better off spending your money at Miku or Greenleaf Sushi. The service was the best part, the wait staff are very friendly. We went on a Friday night and the atmosphere was a tad off. It seemed like Japanese culture was being worn as a costume in what appeared to be almost a caricature catering to the ignorant Western eye (unfortunately, very fitting given it's proximity to Kitsilano).Parking: If you're going on a high traffic day (Friday, Saturday, holidays) you'll need to account for the fact that parking will be sparse.

In this charming little shop, you can find the most delicious daifuku in town. It exudes a cozy and warm atmosphere, with an elegant presentation of ingredients. While some of the ingredients may be on the pricier side, I'd suggest that if the otoro slices were cut a bit thicker and served at a slightly lower temperature, it would enhance the overall taste and texture. Nonetheless, the service here is excellent.

Very disappointing experience. most of sushi were good but salmon egg was very fishy. geoduck shellfish was also fishy. Service were good but they brought out picture menu on a chalkboard that is not on the main menu which had misleading price. They recommended uni maki roll that's on sale for five dollars less. I thought it was $20 price but when I got the bill it was actually $40 each roll. Seriously maki roll for $40? All the other high-end sushi restaurant charges $15 for maki roll because it is simple to make. The owner is trying to rip off tourist. I expected $220 bill for 2 but when I saw $300 bill, I was very disappointed. Plus finding parking is almost impossible. They are located near residential area so all street parking require residential permit. The main road street parking is almost nonexistent.

Sada-san created us a delicious meal and made our time there memorable!
Legit sushi joint. Super sweet service, great fish, perfectly seasoned rice, and delicious sake. Inly thing to complain about is not cheap, but you are getting what you pay for here. Beautiful ambiance as well. Worth the trip for sure.

Had a great dinner here! The food was delicious and had a couple items that were more unique to this place: foie gras nigiri, aji: sashimi, nigiri, fried. Both of these would get again! We got the 10 piece premium nigiri set for dinner each. All very good as well. Even the strawberry mochi dessert was so good. The drawbacks are the prices are pretty high here. There were many other items on the menu that gave me even bigger sticker shock, but I'm sure it's also very good. For 2, with tax and tip, dinner was about $400 CAD. Call in for reservations. Parking is a bit difficult, so allocate enough time.

If you're craving uni, this place is your go to. Super cute place with lots of detailed touches. The service was great and menu filled with lots of options! You can choose between a la carte and chefs course. We did the regular menu since there were specific items we wanted to try but the chefs menu would work out to be a better price for what you get. The service was excellent, very attentive and our server explained everything really well and went over the daily menu. For drinks we tried a sweet brown sugar sake which was delicious.I didn't realize this place is known for uni and I'm not a big fan of uni so I just tried their Japanese uni shooter and local uni don. The local uni don was too flavourful for me but the shooter was nice.I tried shirako for the first time. I found it creamy and tasty, I liked it. It's a very small portion so if you've never tried it give it a shot. For nigiris the foie gras nigiri was delicious but the other 2 I got, engawa and gintoro were nothing special. Maybe because I had strong tastes of uni by this time! I saved the untouchable for last since I was most excited to try this and it didn't disappoint. It's a lot in one piece, full of flavour. Their desserts are limited and I would pass on dessert if I were to go back as they are very light in flavour and I was looking for something more flavourful after a flavourful meal. I tried the strawberry mochi and cheesecake. Presentation was adorable.

Fish has always been hit and miss with me. We had many different kinds of fish tonight and none tasted fishy or had bad texture which means everything was very fresh. Service was excellent. The restaurant is rather small so best to make reso's before going. Parking can be a bit of a challenge because it is close to the beach but we were lucky to find a good spot a block down. I would be aware of the parking signs to avoid getting ticketed.

Staff members were really friendly and welcoming! Definitely a restaurant that gives off Japanese culture vibes with the decorations, and the heated toilet seats.I would say the food is on the pricier side but still worth a try. The art sashimi was cool because u could choose the amount that u wanted to spend and the chef would create the sashimi based on ur spending preference. I did $80 per person which was the average spending.
