Simply the best Japanese restaurant in greater Vancouver. Been here for a few years and always deeply satisfied. Cozy ambience and attentive service.
Tried a new dessert tonight—the miso caramel cheesecake was such a delight!

The signature hand rolls, especially the bluefin tuna hand rolls, remain a highlight, and the Tempura and Miso Sable Collar are also favorites.

The staff, including the chef, work with care and dedication, often creating custom dishes to meet specific dietary needs. The Houji-cha crème brûlée is a perfect dessert to finish the meal. With a cozy ambiance and seasonal menu changes, Stem Japanese Eatery is a must-visit, and reservations are recommended.
