“Incredible dining experience! I wish I had a bigger belly to keep eating! Highly recommend!“

“Holy Spirit. It's been forever a place hasn't suprised me like this one. AMAZING. Muy bueno. My orders are usually simple. But can't fathom calling what I got simple. Buenísimo.My order was Salmon avocado roll, miso soup and 2 nigiri salmon. Chef ?Ps: suggestion. Instead of water maybe offer tea as included dine in treat. ??“

“Tasty and cheap. Lovely venue and great service. I am sad that they aren't open on Mondays as that is my day off..“

“Very polite with great food“

“Sushi was great. Ingredients were fresh, and everything was assembled and plated well.The service was even better. Every staff member worked collaboratively, was attentive, and very pleasant. I never had to ask for anything to be taken away or refilled, and my food always came quickly.My only 2 gripes about this restaurant is that they have limited seating and their prices are probably 50% higher than most other sushi places.“

“Within North Vancouver and West Vancouver there are very few options for plant based eating. The Workshop Vegetarian is the only restaurant I know of on that side of town that is a dedicated Vegan/ Vegetarian restaurant. I am so happy that I finally got to try it! (And I got to use another plant based deals coupon for it too!)Spicy Tan Tan RamenMiso Glazed Eggplant Veggie SandwichCroissant Breakfast SandwichMarinara Grilled Cheese SandwichPumpkin Spice LatteBeetroot LatteMochaMy husband loved his Spicy Tan Tan Ramen, and when my meat eating husband eats something plant based and actually likes it, that is a sure sign of good food. He tried the Miso Glazed Eggplant Veggie Sandwich and gave his seal of approval to that as well.I don't know what it is about Breakfast sandwiches that's got our daughter hooked on them so much but I am definitely not complaining about it as she's learning to widen her taste palate and eat foods she's never really eaten much before, thanks to her new love of Vegan breakfast sandwiches. This one at Workshop Vegetarian was no exception to the rule. She loved this one, and the greens were not a detterent!Grilled Cheese Sandwich is a simple dish that I could make at home so I don't usually order it, but a vegan version of it is a real treat as we don't often have Vegan cheese at home. I absolutely loved this Vegan Grilled Cheese Sandwich. The cheese was just as ooey and gooey as a regular Grilled Cheese Sandwich and it tasted so good with the Marinara sauce!They also have a fridge and freezer section where you can buy ready made food to go, or plant based foods to cook at home. I think I may do a bit of shopping on my next visit!This place is my new favourite on the North Shore, and I can't wait to go back again!Where are your favourite spots on the North Shore for plant based eating?Service: GoodParking: Free parking on the streetLocation: 296 Pemberton Ave., North Vancouver, BC“

“The server and chef are really friendly and have a great ambience. This is a hidden gem and I would love to visit again.I tried udon, yam roll, veggie roll, veggie spring roll and veggie gyoza. A bit expensive but worth it ❤️Vegetarian options: Yam, avocado, veggie and many other options“

“The place is quiet, clean, and has a nice ambiance. The servers are friendly and accommodating. Servings are huge. My family always orders katsu for each of us on top of sushi and tempura. You should try all the variety of sushi. Looks like we love most of it. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for some quiet, good food with good company. ?“

“Good food and good service. Would definitely recommend this restaurant“

“This is the best sushi place in all of North/West Vancouver. I order from them so much they probably recognize my name on orders now lol. Big pieces of sushi, always fresh, always consistent; 10/10 - I hope everyone reviews them and gives them 5 stars because I never want them to go out of business, PLEASE.“

“awesome food, awesome prices. thus is not Waraku, but worthy of being in the same location. I will be back..“

“Ordered the sushi combo B and the salmon bento box for take out. The service was prompt, the staff friendly and the food was delicious. Overall the food was great, the tempura was nice and crispy, the salmon was tasty and the sushi was fresh. This will be my new go-to place for sushi.“

“Great food and great service“

“It never fails to amuse me how good sushi in Vancouver in general.I picked this place at random. It had a quick and polite service. Sushi were fresh and tasty. Prices are very reasonable.Marking this place on my Google map and highly recommend to others.“

“My favourite sushi place in Lynn Valley mall! I go there at list once a week for lunch or dinner. Very good food, friendly staff, quiet and nice atmosphere and decent prices! Highly recommend for everyone who likes Japanese food.“

“The food is delicious but the new staff need a bit of work to come up to scratch.We've had lunch and dinner several times here since this location opened off Lonsdale, replacing the one further up the road. The sushi is always terrific, a nice blend of classic and inspired creations with fresh ingredients. We noted some unusual items not usually on a traditional sushi menu but variety is the spice of life, so why no?The atmosphere is bright and new with lots of windows and an outside patio with heat lamps (once the weather dries and warms up) but the tall divider made it a bit hard to see the door from our seats. We mentioned we were expecting friends to join us and we had stand up each time someone new walked in order to see over the divider. Minor annoyance; we'll ask for seating on the other side next time.We understand good staff are hard to keep but new staff need a bit more awareness training. The table we were lead to wasn't cleaned before we were seated and we weren't offered tea. (Tea came in ordinary mugs; I miss the nice china teacups.) After the food arrived, we had to ask for small plates and the extra wasabi we requested when we ordered.During the meal, we had difficulty getting the waitress's attention (for more tea) and to clear the empty plates. She didn't inquire if we wanted anything else before she brought the bill. We might have... Small tweaks make the difference between mediocre and very good service and a larger tip.Overall, a nice spot for sushi conveniently located in North Vancouver, worth the short walk east from Lonsdale Ave, at 15th Street, across from Lions Gate Hospital. Limited street parking during the day but usually available within a block or so after 6 pm.“

“Had the Salmon and Tuna Chirashi, which was reasonably priced at $16.95. While the sashimi was more thinly sliced than at other establishments, it came with 4 of each fish, as well as some tamago and avocado slices. Was a filling enough portion for dinner and came with a generous bowl of miso soup (double in size from what I usually get at other Japanese restaurants!). We found the Chicken Yakisoba to have a good portion of battered chicken, but it was too saucy for our liking. It was quite liquid-y and thinner than what we're used to. The California Roll was good, it came with lots of imitation crab meat in the ratio to cucumber/avocado. Service was fairly prompt and food came out in a timely manner. Would return if in the area!“

“This is a nice little spot for sushi. It’s probably best for take out but they do have a few tables. The staff are really nice. The food is tasty and priced fair. It’s a busy shop so the sushi tastes very fresh. I gave it five stars because it is exactly what it should be and they are doing a good job at it!“

“Such a cute little place for a quick dine in break or takeaway and the food is amazing too! Owner is awesome and always warm and welcoming.Kid-friendliness: Food is great for everyoneParking: Loads of parkingWheelchair accessibility: Easy access for all in the mall.“
