This is my favourite restaurant in Vancouver. The food is divine, the wine, cocktails, sake are delicious. They make everyone feel welcome, whether they are 9 months old or 90 years old. I love everything about this place and everyone who works there!

horrible experience overall- would not recommend. restaurant has an unclean sour laundry smell to start, and ridiculously slow service. we waited over an hour and a half and still hadn’t gotten our omakase. we asked the server to check at the hour & a half mark and she came back saying “another 15 minutes”. almost 2 hours to get 8 pcs of sushi??! we told them to just scrap it and cancel our order. the sushi chef then started throwing things on the ground and banging other pans around causing a ruckus. he continued to glare at us while we waited for the bill and even when we we had left the restaurant and passed by the window. truly embarrassing behaviour.

My wife and I come here for special occasions every year. It is one of our favorite restaurants in the lower mainland. The food is always delicious and the staff are extremely friendly. We always grab the miso eggplant and their hand rolls. We recently had their yam tempura which surprisingly ended up as one of our favorite dishes from them.

Definitely a drinking style restaurant. The portions aren’t too filling so I’d recommend to get serval things to share. Ingredients are very clean. Heard the owner really likes Hawaii which is why the theme has so much Hawaiian decorations.

Me and my friend wanted a little snack before we headed back home for our main dinner so we decided to come here. Cute little sushi spot but omg is this the worst sushi I’ve had in a long time. We were seating seated right away and were given menus. No one served us water or took our order until 15 mins later. The water tasted disgusting. It’s worse than ontarios tap water. I took one sip of it and didn’t even bother drinking it again. When the food came out the sashimi salad was lacking. The sashimi grade was mediocre at most and all the veggies were too aged. (When greens have been grown for too long they become stiff) it was so unpleasant to chew not how a salad should be. Then comes the duck. I tasted like freezer burn. I couldn’t even eat it. I spat it back out. So so disappointing. It’s also so expensive. Uni was $17 for one piece!?!? We’re in Westminister not downtown? I’ve eaten at many sushi restaurants from $500 omakase to $30 sushi spots. We only ordered 1 appy 1 hand roll and 1 main and it was $78 before tip. This is a robbery. Save ur money.

We've never felt so cared for at a restaurant. It was my wife and I's first time here and she has a few dietary restrictions to really common ingredients, so she usually just avoids anything with sauces and broths to be safe. She asked for a sashimi salad with a simple lemon/olive oil dressing, but the waitress took the time to understand her needs and the chef insisted on making a custom sauce that was safe for her. Everything was delicious , the service was excellent, and no other place has ever been able to work with us the way they did. We'll gladly drive an hour each way to make this our new go-to Japanese restaurant.
The houji-cha creme brûlée was also perfection.

Japanese soul food... alchemical magic... but... shhhh... don't tell anybody about this place because I want to be able to get a reservation next week! I taste the sea... a poem... a song... these chefs and their staff are devoted to their daily creations... truly inspired... not like other restaurants. Bliss...

Food was amazing and service staff was very friendly. Nothing bad to say about this place. Relaxing atmosphere and not much wait times on food. would go back again to try their omakase in the future.
