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!

Stem Japanese Eatery offers an exceptional dining experience with attentive and knowledgeable servers who cater to dietary restrictions. The restaurant features a variety of small dishes, including the popular Wagyu Tataki Salad, Sablefish, and Miso Cheese Eggplant, as well as an impressive nigiri omakase showcasing high-quality, imported fish. Customers can opt for the mini omakase, a surprise menu of thoughtfully crafted seasonal courses where the sashimi is the freshest in the city. The standalone ikura nigiri is an incredible experience. The signature hand rolls, especially the bluefin tuna hand rolls, remain a highlight, and the Tempura and Miso Sable Collar are also favorites.
Guests have praised the fantastic BC wine pairing options and delicious cocktails, with a certified sommelier who chooses wines that pair really well. 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, seasonal menu changes, and an unassuming outside, stepping inside transports you straight to Japan, making Stem Japanese Eatery a must-visit.
