I feel compelled to review this place because of the incomprehensibly high ratings that tricked me into dining here. While the staff were pleasant the restaurant was on the dirty side, but moreover the food was incredibly bad. The "star" of the show was the ebi fry, lightly breaded and delicately fried, but served with a steaming hot dashi that let you know: you're not in an authentic Japanese restaurant. It only got worse from there. Mushy saba served with an oddly dressed salad. An assorted sushi plate with SALTY maki. An unagi-don so swimming in cloyingly sweet sauce I thought I was served a soup when it arrived. And a noodle dish the menu overconfidently defined as yakisoba. Those responsible for the fare have almost certainly never been anywhere near Japan, and it's outrageous that in a world class city like Vancouver, this is what passes for a good Japanese restaurant (4.5* on Google maps!?!?).

Best Sushi restaurant we’ve had in the north shore so far! It’s a perfect location from the beach.We had the Beef udon for our 3 year old and he loved it, sockeye sashimi, sockeye and avocado rolls, gyozas and the red dragon roll. The gave my son a miso soup as well because they know kids love the soup. Also a large hot sake for the wife and I. Amazing atmosphere and the food was so tasty and filling!Price: For what you get the price is on par with a lot of other sushi restaurants of this caliber. ⭐️Portion/palate: The sashimi cuts were thick and the portion per item on the menu were nice! The taste was excellent for what we ordered. ⭐️Place: It is a bit cramped going up the stairs (The restaurant is on the 2nd floor) but over all it’s cozy and the feeling is authentic. Location is right on the main road so you get all the road noise (emergency vehicles etc.)Parking is hit and miss on the main road but the back of the building it looked like there were plenty of parking spaces. We parked by the beach and walked over so it was more convenient for us. 1/2 ⭐️People: The staff were friendly and one in particular was very attentive to our needs! Thank you Nathan! ⭐️Kid-friendliness: Children plates, high chairs and lots of space when seated by the window.

The food was very good. Very convenient location. The staff was very friendly. They serve unlimited hot tea in a flask. Their sushi was great, we also tried karage don whoch was very good. They are very friendly, and they also have traditional Japanese style sitting spaces. Food was filling and delicious.

It’s been over 10Years since I’ve been here, used to go frequently and as usual everything was perfect! The sushi was exceptional, the tuna was the best that I have tasted of any sushi restaurant, the service spot on and the atmosphere delightful. Try and get a booth for that extra special experience. Highly recommend!! Prices very fair especially for West Vancouver.
One of my favorite restaurantsHighly
