24 Best Sushi Bars in Burnaby

“First time coming here and will come again to try out other rolls! I was so excited to try this place out finally and now I have to come back again!The food was delicious! The sushi rolls are massive and well worth your money both in quantity and quality. The sushi is fresh and the salmon is very tasty!Ordered the Angry Bird Roll and is by far one of the tastiest rolls I’ve had in awhile. Salmon sashimi was delicious on top of their house roll and it was nice and tangy and spicy. The miso soup is quite good too.It’s nice seeing a wonderful place like this in the Edmonds area of Burnaby. Great service and excellent portions will have me coming back again when I’m craving that delicious sushi roll.Parking: Plenty of parking in the free lot and street“

“I love that the gomae comes as a roll. The spicy agadashi Tofu could be spicier, but the Tofu itself was bouncy and fun to eat like mochi if you're a texture person. The flavours for the garlic and jalapeño on the oushi were very intense. Black cod was delicate and tasty and tempura fantastic.“

“I had the Deluxe Chirashi Don which came out with huge portions of fresh sashimi. Their sashimi is high quality and delicious. Uni and Toro were my favourite! All the nigiri and rolls were amazing, with perfect ratio of rice to sashimi/ingredients. Fried salmon sticks were so tasty. The service was outstanding, the servers were so friendly and attentive. This place will be my go-to if I want fresh and delicious sushi.“

“Tasty but somewhat pricy (Korean?) sushi place near Brentwood Mall. Parking is available but limited in the strip mall lot. The place looks more like an ice cream or dessert shop with the black and pink stripes on the wall, as well as the flower looking lighting fixtures. Staff are friendly. Looks like 2 friends run this place. My food took some 20+ minutes to arrive, so they gave me a free green tea while I was waiting, which was nice. Also nice to see they make the food fresh. Seafood poke bowl - salmon and tuna chunks with a prawn on top. Served with shredded carrots, broccoli, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes. Bowl was honestly a bit on the smaller side. Tasted fine though. West coast roll - crab, prawn tempura, spicy tuna, scallop. Served warm (guessing it's the tempura). Tasty. Overall this place is pretty good. The other added bonus is they're open quite late (2300 most days as of the time of writing). Recommended.“

“This place has EXCELLENT, fresh food and the staff were SO friendly! The reason why I gave 4 stars for atmosphere is that the seating area is very small (but CUTE!) and so you may not be able to plan to be seated when you go. We had takeout and it worked very well. Would definitely go again! I order the salmon oshi and it’s probably the best tasting dish out there! Loved it!“

“First time at sushi box, very impressed. The sushi is fresh and tastes awesome. Got the tiger roll, spicy sashimi, Alaska roll, and a few pieces of nigiri which was packed with tons of flavour can tell fish is fresh and high quality. Amount of food and quality was worth it for its price. Service and atmosphere was great!“

“Great place for sushi!My wife and I have visited here three times and enjoyed our meals very much.My wife loves the mixed veggie rolls and yam tempura roll. She likes the way the yam remains hot and crispy in the roll.I have tried Grouse Mountain and Maple rolls which kinda looked and taste the same. They were both awesome. The crunchy crumbs sprinkled on top of the rolls complement the softness of the fish and give it a more pleasant bite :)))I had also tried Kastsu don here but it didn’t live up to my expectations. So I strongly suggest their sushi not Katsu.Kid-friendliness: The staff has been kind and warm to us in all of our visits.“

“Very friendly host and people working here. We ordered Sashimi delux and sushi delux. Sashimi is fresh, sushi is with the right amount of rice while you can taste the sashimi on top. Nice Friday dinner with family here, will definitely come back!“

“Must have been here a 50 times over the last 10 years. It’s our all time go to favourite sushi restaurant in the Burnaby. Volcano roll, Holdon roll and Las Vegas roll are always a crowd pleaser in our house hold. The owner (I think) is the collector of actions figure, so lots of displays around this mini but cozy place.“

“Phenomenal!... I have eaten at o-Sushi-ya all over the world. Tokyo, New York, Honolulu, San Francisco; and outside of Japan, this is the best. From the briny ponzu kissed Miyagi oysters to the rich and deep-nuanced Chawan-mushi to the creamy smooth Yamaimo drizzled Maguro to the perfectly done butter-soy grilled fresh local squid - all were the best I have had. Then to finish, the matcha, fruit, lychee kanten and ahn parfait was light, sweet perfection.“

“Kilala offers super fresh sushi at reasonable prices. Eat in is nothing fancy and service is very polite reminiscent of my time in Japan. There is maybe 2 parking spots available in a very tight awkward underground parking (best to find street parking). The japanese creme caramel is a must try if they have it available.“

“Good bowl of ramen! Great soup and perfect meat. Portion is a bit small but that's just personal appetite. Parking is annoying as you need to scan and pay online, but then diamond parking system double charges you.. no fault if the restaurant though.“

“Hidden gem in the neighborhood. High quality fish and creative fusion menu. Surprisingly low traffic in store so the dining experience feels private. Well decorated and Disney tracks playing softly in the background, makes for a great date avenue.Happy hour menu is not cheaper but just smaller portions, would recommend for trying items on their menu.“

“Best sushi order I ever had! Service was amazing ?The only place I've seen that has Salmon elly sashimi which is my favorite!And the spider roll had the perfect balance of ingredients and flavors even the batter on the crab was crispy but not too thick.Waitress was so friendly and kind.“

“A cut above AND great value! Stopped in here for dinner because we were in the neighbourhood -kind of a random pick. Their take on dishes common all over the city was consistently unique and subtly complex. We will make a point of going back.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options. I always like to see an umeshiso roll on the menu (not every Japanese/sushi restaurant has it) and theirs did not disappoint“

“Food is always so good and for a reasonable price. This is our go to sushi place. It's usually pretty quiet for dine in meals, but they have a great selection and their spicy tuna roll/cone is the best I've had.Vegetarian options: They have a whole vegetarian section of rolls and dishes. Little bit harder to find exciting vegan stuff, but pretty good selection.“

“The food was great, came out quickly, and was really fresh. We found the prices a bit more expensive than places we usually visit. However, the quality was good.Parking: It was our first time in this location, so we were not very familiar with parking options.“

“This is a very good sushi place. One of the advantages it has for me is that it's open later than the other places so you can actually get sushi after 9:00 p.m. well all the sushi is very good and quite fresh. They have a huge selection of rolls. I highly recommend the grouse mountain roll. I also really liked the tuna tataki “

“One of the best sushi place!Absolutely amazing sushi! Every bite was a burst of flavor, and the presentation was impeccable. The freshness of the fish was evident in every roll and nigiri. The pork in the spicy pork bulgogi was also very fresh and tender. The service was friendly and prompt. Can't wait to come back for more!“

“look, its nothing groundbreaking, but the chef is wonderful, they stay open nice and late, and they genually care about their customers. The miso soup is complimentary and they have a good selection of well made and quality food. Good price and well worth the money!“

“I order from here regularly and the quality and service is always top notch!! I love that they are so close to home, I used to order through Uber but now I’d rather order takeout straight from them as it’s more convenient and I’d rather more money go straight to them. Super yummy, great quality and amazing service!!“

“This is a restaurant that I would like to evaluate as fusion Japanese food rather than authentic Japanese food.The price is a bit high, but the overall taste and quality of the food is good.When I visited, I saw that most tables were eating cream pasta, so I ordered it and it was delicious.In the case of Yuza Chashu Ohsi, the taste of yuzu at the end balances out the greasiness of the pork.In the case of Spicy Tuna Ohsi, red pepper paste sauce was used to reduce the greasy taste of the tuna, but it would have been more delicious if the red pepper paste tasted a little less.Overall delicious food!“

“I was looking for a Japanese Restaurant on my lunch break yesterday. Stopped in, ordered spicy tuna roll (my fav) and Tonkatsu meal..Everything was delicious⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ looking forward to my next meal there... ps, the salad dressing is fantastic!!!“

“A Gem Tucked Away in BurnabyThis past Friday night, I stumbled upon a hidden gem in Burnaby: Makoto, a charming little Japanese restaurant with a warm, family-run atmosphere. Stepping inside, the decor was unpretentious, focusing on clean lines and a comfortable ambiance. It became immediately clear that the focus here was purely on the food.Despite being a two-person operation, the service was surprisingly swift. The husband, who skillfully doubled as both bus boy and server, was incredibly efficient. While the wife worked her magic in the kitchen, he expertly handled the floor, his genuine warmth adding to the homey feel of the restaurant.Now, onto the star of the show: the food! I started with the agedashi tofu, a classic Japanese dish that can be a true test of a restaurant's skill. Makoto's rendition was nothing short of delightful. The tofu was perfectly cooked, achieving that delicate balance between soft and firm. The light, flavorful dashi broth it was bathed in was a symphony of umami, and the accompanying crisp panko crumbs added a delightful textural contrast.Next up were the crispy California rolls. I have to say, these are a must-try for any California roll enthusiast. The seaweed salad (a delightful surprise!) added a touch of freshness and a delightful crunch, while the avocado and cucumber offered a cool counterpoint to the savoury crab meat. The true star, however, was the tempura batter — perfectly light and airy, it encased the ingredients without overwhelming them.Finally, I couldn't resist the ten tama don, a dish featuring plump shrimp tempura and a perfectly cooked, fluffy egg. Each spoonful was a delightful combination of textures and tastes, with the delicate sweetness of the egg and the savory pops of the shrimp.The entire meal was surprisingly affordable, which only added to the overall satisfaction. Makoto isn't a place where you go for fancy ambiance or a trendy scene. It's a place where you go for delicious, authentic Japanese food prepared with care and served with genuine hospitality. The husband-and-wife team at Makoto are clearly passionate about what they do, and it shines through in every aspect of the dining experience. I left feeling happy, content, and already planning my next visit. If you're looking for a hidden gem in Burnaby that offers fantastic Japanese food at a great price, Makoto is definitely worth checking out!“
