Our server wasn’t being friendly to us. The interior was nice, but atmosphere wasn’t. Me and my party are asian and we can understand them talking about my party, about the way we dress, our ethnicity’s, and just overall being disrespectful.
We also already had automatic tip for our party of 6, but hearing the staff talk about us in a disrespectful way, we decided overall giving more tip wasn’t necessary.
Food quality was also bad, Uni wasn’t fresh tasting like saliva. I’ve had multiple occasions and can say i’m pretty experienced with uni and this definitely wasn’t fresh. The uni tasted and smelled like a public park bathroom. The fish portions were good but you can tell the chefs rushed to defrost the fish because biting into the fish it was still icy and some of the fish were still iced.
overall would never go again and should’ve taken account that many others had bad experiences but we wanted to give it a chance.

My favorite sushi when I moved here ten years ago. Then one day, rice starts to be too sweet. I stopped visiting for 5 years then went back again today. Still too sweet and it overpowers other flavours
Very authentic and clean Japanese restaurant in the high gate area. The staff are very friendly and the sashimi is made to perfection 👌

I had one of the best dining experiences here. The food came out pretty quickly and everything was nicely presented. The A5 wagyu and the scallop crudo were both incredibly tender and super fresh. We also tried a couple of rolls, and they tasted really authentic. Definitely be coming back and bringing friends to try out.

This sushi restaurant is notorious for screwing up take out orders; either missed an order or wrong dishes. The quality is nothing to scream home about either. Would not recommend it…save your dollars and go down a few blocks to Sushi Garden instead.

Recently ordered their BC Combo and Nigiri to go. The Negitoro roll had too much compacted rice compared to the Negitoro. The ratio was like 4 part rice 1 part negitoro. The rice was way too wet and sticky and it appears that they are not using good quality sushi rice. Was very disappointed.

“This sushi rice’s taste and texture are the closest to what I had in Japan.

I had an amazing experience at this sushi place! The was incredibly fresh, and I was impressed by how generous they were.
I ordered the Awesome Roll, Mango California roll and salmon Oshi. They completely exceeded my expectations—the awesome roll was super creative and actually gave off a little smoky, “volcanic” flavor. It really felt like eating a mini eruption in sushi form, haha.
Highly recommend if you're looking for both quality and originality!

I almost want to gate-keep this place until I die. The BEST sushi in all of the lower mainland served by the nicest people and the most heart-warming of staff. You can’t get this quality anywhere else—you can feel the love from the chefs. IMPECCABLE QUALITY😫🤩🫶
It was the best Japanese restaurant I’ve ever had in burnaby, the quality and quantity were amazing and satisfy. Strongly recommended everybody to try the salmon belly sashimi and also try their nigiris. The owner and the staffs are very nice. Excellent restaurant experience for us!
Amazing sushi place! The sashimi was super fresh, and the rolls were delicious. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was perfect. Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-quality Japanese cuisine. Can’t wait to come back!!
I've been to this restaurant many times and overall, I do enjoy the food. The quality is consistently great, and the portion sizes are decent for the price - especially considering that many sushi places tend to be on the more expensive side. I often go for the bento lunch boxes, which come with a good variety of items and a bowl of miso soup, making it a satisfying meal.
That said, while the food and general service are solid, I’ve noticed a recurring issue that affects the dining experience. There seems to be an excessive level of commentary from the staff about how much food we order. On multiple occasions, when dining with my mother and ordering our usual bento boxes along with a roll or two to try something new, the server has made remarks like “That’s a lot of food” or “Are you sure you can eat all that?”- always in a joking tone, but still unnecessary and a bit intrusive.
Even today, we were met with the same kind of comment despite ordering what I would consider a perfectly normal amount for two people. While I understand that cultural differences may play a role, these repeated remarks feel more judgmental than friendly and don’t align with what I’d expect from good customer service.
Constructive feedback aside, I do think the food is worth trying—just be prepared for a bit of unsolicited commentary.
Great portions on the bentos. Much more modern interior than I expected. Vegetarian options available 😊
