“Every dish we had was beautifully prepared and fresh. We splurged on the “chirashi royale” with uni add-on to share and it was definitely the highlight of the meal. If I came back I’d probably even just order that alone for myself! The portions are small but quality is “
“Very good atmosphere and whole experience was like a food show! I hesitated a bit before when I saw the price ($300+ pp) but as it got Michelin certified I still want to give it a try. I love how the girls wearing Japanese clothes and great you with very comforting manner. The decoration was also making feel like entered a Japanese theater. All the chef work fast and they accommodated my allergy. Definitely recommend for your special night, they played piano for a birthday girl, I believe it would be a memorable experience.“
“My friend brought us over for a quick lunch on this Saturday. We ordered the sushi and sashimi bento box sets and at $24 they were reasonably priced. Delicious food items although the miso soup was a bit too salty for me. Plenty of hot tea was offered.“
“The creamy truffle udon with seafood was soooo good???. We got a side of rice after to soak up all of the extra truffle sauce and it was killer. They also had some pretty creative specialty sushi rolls that you won’t find at any other restaurant and they were yummy too!“
“Came here within the closing hour. Service was quick & the sushi really hit the spot. Great for quick eats before 9pm on a Saturday. Loved the Sushi Pizza & the BC Spider Roll. Excellent portions and the rolls didn't fall apart.“
“This cozy restaurant can be described as perfect for minimalists who appreciate detailed flavours and want a healthy night out. There's no need to write a lengthy review because all the 5-star reviews are genuine! Plus, they serve one of my favourite teas, brown rice tea! The young ladies who served us were super sweet, and I adore them!“
“This is a super special place that hits close to home. Although the service is ok sometimes hit or miss, they have one of the best miso soups in the city. It is very authentic japanese style food and OMYGAHD the miso soup. I can’t stop talking about the miso soup. Its too good. I’ve been here twice for a birthday and its adorable that they print out a picture for you and design it. One of the best places to try authentic japanese tastes!“
“Fantastic sushi spot with fresh, flavorful selections. The chefs really know their craft, creating both traditional and innovative rolls. Service is quick and friendly, making dining here a pleasant experience. Great ambiance for any occasion. Highly recommend for sushi lovers!“
“We came for a friend's birthday, I got fried chicken and I didn't enjoy it, I needed to ask for some sauce, cause it didn't come with anything but It was really oil. The rest of the good everyone said that the food was amazing. The drinks were strong, the sangria had a bad taste like a super sour. Probably I'll be back but definitely I will try other dishes, the service, and the atmosphere were amazing, if you want to celebrate your birthday this is the place.“
“I’ve eaten here enough to say there’s no bad item on the menu!last call is at 8pm—tried the negitoro, spicy salmon, chopped scallop rolls and toro & salmon nigiri. all very fresh and the toro was the best thing I tried that night. service is super nice! would definitely go again and recommendwait can get a bit long, but totally worth it“
“We visited Granville Island and found this restaurant. It was a rainy day and the restaurant wasn't busy.We ordered a seafood tower, a pasta dish and a side of truffle for the kids. Our children love the pasta and the fries. Unfortunately, we didn't feel the seafood tower was anything special.Perhaps maybe because of the rainy and gloomy day when visiting, eating cold seafood wasn't what we expected. I guess this would taste better on a sunnier day. The ahi tuna and oysters were great.I would go for different dishes if the server suggested alternatives. But he didn't pay us too much attention.“
“I've had this place on my list to try for the longest time but there was always a lineup outside. Finally had the opportunity and went just after they opened with a group of 4. It was packed and we sat at the counter which was totally fine. Service is very good and they are quick. You're really coming here for the fresh sushi. Prices are quite reasonable and the fish was great and of course very fresh. I'd recommend it. Because the service is so quick they also do expect to turn around the tables quickly. The food was so good I forgot to take a photo. But I did get one of the cup ?.“
“A small cozy restaurant with a variety of Korean and Japanese cuisine. They constantly update their menu. The service was warm and welcoming from the start with complimentary miso soup. They have a few dine in promotions worth checking out. My favorite dish was the Bossam and appetizer sashimi (tuna and farmed salmon). The tempura is fried well. For reference we had RSVP for 4 at 6pm on a Sunday. Free street parking nearby for 1-2 hours“
“The bento box was really delicious and the quality of the fish is very good, definitely worth the price.The packaging and presentation of the delivery boxes are particularly great and appear to be of high quality.For me it's one of the best to order, unfortunately I haven't been there yet, but I'll do so soon. ?“
“Very impressed with the meals. We got Katsu Box, veg gyoza and Vancouver Roll. It was very delicious and also great value for money. We will definitely be back. The staff are also very friendly. Large mealsVegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options available.“
“Sushi Howe is small but the people are extremely friendly and the sushi is exceptional. I live close and they always greet me by name and make the sushi quickly. Try the Salmon Combo C and Spicy Crunch Roll. Also the deep fried Burning Sun roll is another favourite.“
“not terribly busy and reasonably tasty food, lots of options for everyone. aburi, sashimi are both pretty decent if nothing special. tons of rolls which are generously sized. anyone who thinks this place is too expensive is simply wrong - find me 3 other places in metro vancouver with a similar priced menu that isn't bottom of the barrel quality.“
“What an amazing place for sushi in the Kitsilano area. They have a great selection of the typical sushi you would expect to find, all at reasonable prices, and it taste great. The service was fast and friendly, and it is in a great location with plenty of parking on the street. Don’t miss the opportunity to stop by Ahi sushi.“
“I tried this place a few times over the years and I usually get their Roll Combo or the Spicy Tuna Don. Sushi is very fresh tasting with good flavour.While the food itself is delicious it's the staff that keeps me coming back! Whether I'm eating in or just ordering take out, the staff at Kaide always make me feel welcomed and appreciated.Truly some of the best service I have received here in Yaletown, and would recommend it to anyone looking for some warmth and kindness in what's often regarded as a cold and isolating city.“
“Delicious Sushi’sThank you Chris for the chefs special menu and your recommendations. We got the bestest ones and enjoyed them till the last bite.Fresh and extremely flavourful. And very reasonably priced. Good portions & great deals!One of the bestest sushi’s I’ve had in Vancouver.Highly recommended to try this place for a wholesome experience!“
“Love the organic selections and gluten free options. Fresh and delicious food ? I would highly recommend this restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: This restaurant is right off Broadway, at street level and there’s enough room between tables to accommodate a wheelchair ♿️“
“Best and the freshest sushi I've ever eaten and I make sure I tell it to the chef everytime I visit. The prices are just a cherry on top. Find me a sashimi salad like this for $13.50 in all of Vancouver with current inflation. Before the current wave of inflation it was $12.50.“
“The food was delicious, everything that I've tried there was tasty and flavour balanced. The meals come in a great size, and the price is fair.I've been in Vancouver for a month, and I ate here every week, cause the food was so good and the staff was very kind.“
“Don't often write reviews, but this place is worthy of one! The food is excellent, I've brought or sent many people here, and everyone talks about how much they love it! Haven't had a single order not be amazing, they're batting a thousand! And for high quality sushi, the prices are very reasonable. And if that wasn't enough of a reason eat here, the people who run the place are very friendly and welcoming!Highly recommend!“
“This is a restaurant that I only want to know. I visited many times because it was close to my home, and I was satisfied with every visit. Salmon oshi and pork cutlet are the best. It was also great to have a late night sake or beer with my friend. You should definitely visit here!“
“Great food! One of the best sushi places in the neighbourhood and we have tried many of them. I gather they’re under new management and after being a bit disappointed eating here a year ago it has definitely levelled up since. We will be back 100%!“
“My partner brought me here for my bday surprise and it was a beautiful surprise! We had the omakaze experience with the owner and chef Tom and I believe his wife. He was very sweet and so incredibly passionate about his creations. Every sauce, dish, is all his own creation and hand made from scratch. I also appreciate an introduction to every dish. Every dish was incredible and service was top notch. Highly recommend coming here for an omakaze experience with Tom.“
“This was my first time having omakase. It was a great experience. The sushi and all the other dishes tasted excellent, and the menu had a lot of variety to it. The place has a very cozy feel to it, with only a few tables. We came at the last reservation time slot before close, and we basically had the place to ourselves. The server was very nice and on top of everything the whole time.“
“What a find!! Nestled amongst a thick patch of non-descript West Broadway concrete buildings with a heavy scent of Japanese curry thick on the air, is this true gem of a Japanese restaurant! I could tell from the clientele and the staff running the joint that I was in for a treat. The service was very warm and friendly and hospitable, and the dishes were very flavourful, colorful, and unique. Take for example the sushi donut! You got to try it for yourself.“
“At ShinZenYa, dining is like starring in a foodie blockbuster on Hornby Street in Vancouver, BC. The Miso soup broth was so light it must've taken a yoga class, giving the vegetables their time to shine like veggie celebrities in my mouth. Umami hit me like a flavor ninja, especially that onion – so cravable, it's the rockstar of the broth.Now, the Gomai dance – not just a saucy blob on top, but an integrated performance. The spinach pirouetted with a bright flavor, blanched to perfection and refusing to get all Chewbacca in my mouth.Enter the Sakura roll – a delectable movie, not just a roll. The salmon kicks off the scene with a rich, fatty profile, followed by the creamy duo of crab and avocado, then a spicy tuna explosion that's more intense than a plot twist. And oh, the cucumber? It's doing a crisp, refreshing tap dance in my mouth. Brown rice plays the supporting role, adding an earthy note – a grounding experience that shouts, "This is a nourishing meal, not just sushi roulette!"And applause to the kitchen crew – their intentionality deserves an Oscar. They're like food architects, constantly looking for ways to serve or prepare for the next guest. Forget Michelin stars; ShinZenYa deserves a red carpet for making dining a blockbuster experience.Parking: Small amount of street parking but plenty of parking at the courthouse across the street.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of options for the kiddosWheelchair accessibility: Easy access from the sidewalk“
“My new fave takeout sushi place near Granville and Broadway! As a note: you can eat inside if you just need a quick bite or something! The sushi was made with fresh ingredients, care and a lovely demeanour! Will definitely be coming here more often! Thanks so much! Loving the Salmon Aburi and Yam & Avocado roll!“
“Took my wife here for our anniversary. It was such a wonderful evening. Chef masayoshi and team elegantly created a eventful date night for us. Service was attentive and the staff ensured our glasses and tea cups were always full. It was a quiet ambience and i really enjoyed watching chef create each dish one by one. Truly enjoyed the sake pairing and I recommend it to all. Cant wait to come back again. Please do try to get a seat at the sushi bar, its quite worth the full experience.“
“A sushi place you could easily miss located between Wicks Cafe and Cafe De L'Orangerie in a complex that has pretty tight and few parking spots. The interior is clean and has several tables for indoor dining. When we came at lunch on the weekend, the place filled up quickly. The have an extensive menu. At first, you think they only do Poke bowls, but they actually do everything a Japanese restaurant normally serves. We settled for ordering their bento sets. Taste wise I liked the Aburi Chasiu and the sushi rice was nicely flavored. Their rice bowls were good tasting, large size and filling. On the other hand, the sashimi that came with the bento boxes were thick cut like you would get at a value sushi places; and the tuna sashimi was chewy/stringy. I wouldn't get sashimi here if it was on its own. The kids liked the California Roll, pretty standard. And I liked the Chopped Scallop Roll, pretty standard. These were included in our bentos. 10% off if you pay by Cash.“
“My husband and I came for the okamase set. The food was delicious and the service was great. We enjoyed each of the set and added an additional uni sampler to our dinner. We would want to come back again for the wonderful dinning experience.“
“This is my go-to location for sushi in Vancouver. The staff here are super super nice and the service is fantastic. The sushi is consistently delicious; my favourite is the double crunch roll, I’d highly recommend it. Very affordable for the amount you get and great quality!“
“We have ordered from here several times and have always been happy with the quality and service. We placed a large order for a work event tonight and were once again thoroughly impressed. The fish is fresh, prices are reasonable and the food is reliably good. We will be back again and again!“
“It was my first visit to a japanese restaurant in cananda, and it was an amazing experience. Despite having visited numerous restaurants in vancouver , none compared to the quality i experienecd here. We ordered kaiseki bento, oyster motoyaki, salmon steak and they were so fabulous ? every ingredient was remarkably fresh ✨?I am eager to return , perhaps with new friends , and highly recommend this restaurant to others. And the view from here is very beautiful ? the service from every staff member was exceptionally kind, making it the best dining experience i’ve ever had ? this place has truly won me over ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“
“Alright Mori here! This place is pretty good for a quick bite to eat. I was here just a few days ago with a friend. At first it was quite busy and didn’t look like there was a place to sit but it was worth the 5 minute wait. The staff here are incredibly kind and helpful to you when you walk in. They offer a good variety of food and alcohol too if you feel like it. I definitely recommend the lunch sets but let me warn you it really does fill you up!!“
“Great atmosphere and engaging staff. The menu offerings are as diverse as they are traditionally executed. Was very impressed with not only the pricing but the quality! Will be returning a lot! Especially when they have Uni in and quails eggs for the Ikura, Tobiko, Kani, and you guessed it the Uni!“
“The service was top notch and the Waygu steak was perfect. Bigger restaurant than I expected but booths made the noise level nice and quiet. Spicy Tuna roll could have been a bit better prepared but sashimi combo was excellent and the sake sampler was tasty!“
“Probably one of the best sashimi/sushi places in Vancouver. Value for money (ranging from $30-100) and highly recommended! Great services. The Uni-Don (rice bowl) is insane! ?Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free option for those in need! Pretty rare for an Asian restaurant.“
“I absolutely loved this place. My husband and I stayed at a hotel up the street so we walked here. We’ve been here a few days and have been doing a bit of a sushi crawl, and have tried several other places in the area, and THIS was the best by FAR. Their tuna sashimi was excellent, their miso was perfect, and every single ingredient tasted fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was unbeatable. Some might say it’s not upscale, but my husband and I have never preferred that anyway. We loved looking around at all the notes on the walls from happy customers from decades past. But the main reason I would come back is the service. Everyone in here is attentive and kind. We will be coming back! Will have to make it a tradition whenever we come back to Canada.Side note about the photos: would’ve gotten better photos of the food but we were too busy eating it all!“
“Not fancy decoration. But the service, food and price is EXCELLENT! If you go a few times, they will remember you! Eat in or take out both good options. Food is fresh made for you on demand. Definitely would recommend a try. Everything is good.“
“We came here for dinner with a reservation. We got the chicken meatball hot pot ($19.00), corn tempura ($10.00), Unagi Omelet ($18.00), Hotate Nigiri ($8.00 for 2), 2 blue fin fatty nigiri ($18.00), 2 blue fin nigiri ($13.00) and 2 sakes. The corn tempura was my least favourite out of everything. They fry it with the corn on the cob which makes it really hard to eat. The corn was also not sweet enough. The chicken meatball hot pot is pretty spicy because of the pepper but I love the cabbage and clear noodles. The chicken meatballs were really soft and delicious. The scallop nigiri was absolutely delicious. It was sweet and succulent. The fatty blue fin nigiri was melt in your mouth delicious. I prefer it to the blue fin nigiri but of course it's also more than double the price. The unagi omelet was really soft and had quite a bit of unagi in it but I wouldn't order this again. This little sushi store at the corner of 4th and alma is like a small piece of Japan. The owners are Japanese and mostly regulars come here. I love their sushi and would come back for it.“
“Our server (and the sake) were the highlight of the night. Adrianne was funny, highly efficient and made my cousins birthday dinner infinitely lovelier because her service was top notch. I thought the music choices were a little odd and the steak was definitely overcooked but the experience of the tasting menu with the sake pairings were absolutely worth doing and almost all of the food was 10/10“
“Excellent dedicated gluten-free Japanese food and all other common allergens are marked on the menu. Very delicious! Highly recommend the chicken karaage. Must have reservations!Dietary restrictions: Allergens are clearly marked on the menu“
“Fantastic little Japanese restaurant. Took advantage of the dineout Vancouver menu and it was fabulous! Excellent quality of food and beautiful preparation and presentation. The salmon and tuna nigiri were delicious as was the shrimp&crab chawanmushi. The duck tatami was different and tender. The fried Macha icecream was the perfect ending!“
“This is the easiest place to go for top notch to-go sushi. It's not going to blow your mind with the quality but the consistency is something to be commended. If you're in the area and hungry check it out, there's a million different options to satisfy any hunger.It also has a fairly diverse range of Japanese candy/ingredients. A lot of stores have started to carry Japanese mayo/curry but this gives a much more in-depth view of ingredients in case you want to make something more traditional.“
“Very good experienceEspecially like the perilla leaf sea urchin tempuraThe chef is very young and has a bright future?The taste is also good, especially the sweet shrimp and tuna bellyI added a hand roll at the end, which was also good.Miso ice cream is also deliciousThe price is also right. I recommend giving it a try.“
“Great service with the best atmosphere and delicious food. The food was great, you need to sometimes ask them what they are but staff explains everything well. If you go there, make sure you don't miss the desserts they are the best. A unique style restaurant on the high-end side of the city. You will need to make a reservation to avoid the line during peak hours.“
