50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Delta

“I don’t usually write food reviews, but Todai Sushi deserves one.

I stopped in for lunch today and ordered their lunch box. For just $17, it comes with tea, soup, and a generously portioned box — already an excellent value. What really impressed me, though, was the care and attention to detail in every item.

The teriyaki beef was freshly pan-fried, with the meat and vegetables separated so the beef sits nicely on top. It’s the first time I’ve seen a lunch box done this way, and it made a big difference. The vegetables had just the right amount of oil — flavorful but not greasy.

The California roll was a standout too. Unlike many places that pull pre-made rolls straight from the fridge, these were fresh and at a perfect temperature. The size, portion, and balance between rice and fillings were spot on.

Then there was the tempura. It was made fresh to order, with a thin, delicate batter that gave the ideal ratio of crunch to softness. The coating actually stuck to the ingredients (unlike the thick, heavy, or flaky batter I’ve had elsewhere).

I still can’t believe how much thought and quality went into a $17 lunch box. Todai Sushi is doing it right — keep up the excellent work!“

“We love this Japanese restaurant for the high food quality, high staff quality, reasonable prices in today's market & location! Today, I tried the Nigiri Lunch and loved it! My husband had the double meat chicken teriyaki and some of mine cause it looked so tasty, and it truly was scrumptious ! We started with the Crae crae roll (shared). In my Nigiri lunch, I upgraded the salmon to sockeye, one dollar more, but worth it! The miso soup was perfect for us as we watch our sodium and they only use low sodium soya sauce! The combination of food, service & cost is why they get 5 stars! Any staff we saw were very friendly & said hello & goodbye. Customer service is top notch! Aside note, their green tea is one of the best we've enjoyed, too!“

“One of the best sushi, EVER! It'll be our go to place in tsawwassen moving forward. Fresh, rice perfectly cooked, everything delicious. Definitely recommended. Service was superb 👌 👏 👍 🙌“

“Warm atmosphere. Great service. Tasty food. I will come back for sure.“

“Great location with lots of parking, clean, the service is excellent and the food never disappoints. Tasty, plentiful, and priced right. It's the only Japanese restaurant I recommend. Have been to others in the area, but always come back here.“

“Had a great take out teriyaki combo dinner tonight. The tempura was light and a good variety. The beef teriyaki on cabbage was delicious. the miso soup and sushi were especially delicious. I had to save the sunomono salad for tomorrow's lunch. Wonderful to have a great Japanese restaurant in town.“

“OK, so this little place is very sweet. It 100% has Tokyo vibes to it. The sweet pink lights around the whole place are cozy and cheerful, and just remind us of a great trip we had in Japan. The food was fantastic. My sashimi was perfect. My husband‘s sushi was lovely and even better, the service was excellent. We found our new sushi joint in Tsawwassen.“

“I've tried many sushi places and Sushi Wara is definitely the best I've tried so far! Their California rolls blow everyone else's out of the water and their chicken karaage is better than dedicated chicken restaurants!

I've ordered here constantly using Uber eats and never had any problems with delivery time being long.

Also had a chance to dine in recently and the decor is amazing. Service is also impeccable!

Definitely a level above the rest and its gonna be hard for me to find something better.“

“Loved their sushi. Great in quality and taste !

I tried their miso soup and spring roll. Loved them.

I tried popcorn sushi roll and eel nigiri sushi. Lived their authentic taste. Definitely my go to spot.

But it can really crowded in the evening especially Fridays and weekends. You are lucky, if you get a table within a few minutes.“

“Both food and pricing are good. Highly recommended“

“Sushi Box is the most delicious local sushi I have had here in Burnaby! The quality of the fish is excellent, and I love the Salmon Sashimi. Everything tastes like it was made with love, and additionally the staff are very kind. If you are a sushi lover like me, I could not recommend this restaurant more.“

“Have been here so many times I’ve lost count, the food is always incredible, service is wonderful, I only wish they had a full on restaurant for a better dining experience, their Woomi roll is an incredible house roll and their presentation is always BEAUTIFUL!! Cannot recommend enough“

“A great little sushi place! There are two seats for dine in but I did take out through their online ordering. The couple who runs the shop have the best hospitality. They care very deeply about the food and service!

The fish was amazingly fresh and I really enjoyed the saba shiso roll. I'm very excited to try they their other rolls next time!“

“Smaller sushi restaurants like this are always the best. Instead of a place like Mura, save some money and wait time, and come here. The staff are super friendly and the food is, in my opinion, much better. If you haven’t tried it yet and have been meaning to- do it; I bet you’ll love it.“

“very good sushi. highly recommended“

“My fave sushi spot!💗 I really love their spam roll, yam tempura roll and chicken katsu roll! Also their beef teriyaki is soo good too and good value. The staff here are also so kind- they already remember my order/me as a customer after only ordering a few times and they are so thoughtful and kind! Makes you feel happy and welcome:) definitely try them out!“

“Came here on a busy Saturday night for my friend’s birthday.
We were a group of over 20 people, so I expected there might be some mistakes with the orders, but everything came out perfectly.
The food came out quickly, the drinks were great, and the service was smooth all night.
Big shoutout to our server!!!! she handled everything amazingly.
What surprised me the most was the payment at the end.
She handled everything perfectly, even separate payments for everyone. Very impressed,
I would definitely come back again!“

“This is a slightly more elevated sushi spot for the Joyce-Collingwood area, which is definitely in need of more sushi options. While some items are priced a bit higher, there are still plenty of reasonably priced choices, including the maki rolls and appetizers, so it doesn't feel out of line with what you'd pay elsewhere in the city.

The nigiri and appetizer selection were the standout items for me, and the lunch sets also seem to be quite popular.

My only criticism is that there was a little too much sauce across several dishes. We ordered a few rolls and the brussels sprouts, and almost everything was heavily dressed. For me, a good roll shouldn't need sauce poured over top. If sauce is being used, I'd rather see it incorporated into the filling so the fish and other ingredients can still shine.

After a while, the sauces started to make different dishes taste somewhat similar, and even the brussels sprouts lost some of their own flavour. A lighter touch would go a long way. The quality of the ingredients is there, but I think cleaner, simpler flavour combinations would elevate the overall experience and bring this place closer to a 5/5.“

“Highly recommend- great experience, delicious food!“

“Did not expect much from this place, went here because it is close to where we live. But we left truly blown-away. I ordered saba fish bbq plate and my husband ordered hamachi bento set.

Every meal including the sides are very simple, homey, but cooked just perfect. Every ingredients feels fresh, and perfectly-seasoned (even the salad!). We couldn’t help but cleaned up our plates. We’ll be back for sure!“

“I went to this place and this place is phenomenal. I recommend to go during lunch because it just opened and everything feels more fresh.

The atmosphere when I walked in is full decorations and lots of plants at the entrance to make it feel more Japan vibes. There are also photos of food at the entrance so you know what your ordering and what to expect. Even the washroom has mini paintings.

The service is mostly quick, although our server didn't know the menu so it took some time. Everything else was expected.

The food is outstanding. I recommend ordering sashimi and rolls tray if you can finish it. The food is absolutely fresh and I can taste it in every bite. And everything is reasonably cheap which is fantastic.

Overall this place is a must go if you want to eat Japanese sushi and your in the area.“

“Wasuta Pasta is one of Richmond’s hidden gems. Tucked away in an industrial area, it’s well worth seeking out if you’re looking for something different. Their Japanese-Italian fusion is incredibly unique, with fresh house-made pasta and flavours that are both creative and comforting.

Every dish we’ve tried has been well executed, and you can really tell they put care into both the ingredients and presentation. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service make the experience even better.“

“Haven't been to Yuu for a while and we went back last week. Price didn't go up much despite the inflation. Kids order some special drink and the staff even gave them a small ice-cream cone to top it off. Great gesture. Would definitely be going back more often.“

“Best sushi restaurant in the Joyce collingwood area. Friendly staff and always quick with their orders!“

“We went to ASA sushi last year at the end of the day during the Canada Day long weekend. It was a delightful surprise! We’re visiting the city, and it was definitely the freshest and most delicious sashimi I’ve ever had. Everything was well-prepared and delicious. I always say that I want to go back someday when I’m in Vancouver again.“

“The food was excellent!The sushi was fresh and flavourful, the takoyaki was perfectly crispy and the salmon oshi was my favourite, smooth flavors and great texture. The staff was friendly and helpful and even gave us complimentary tea and spring rolls. Great experience!“

“Without leaving Richmond feel like you are back in Osaka at this vibrant Shinsaibashi themed Izakaya created by the chef who is the artist behind all of these amazinc murals. Many unique One Piece anime-inspired decor.

Ganbei is a family-owned Japanese restaurant in Richmond, Vancouver, serving a vibrant atmosphere and authentic Japanese cuisine hidden in a passageway at Parkside Mall.

The restaurant has a private room that can accommodate up to 20 people, making it an idea spot for group events

Hours open from 5 pm to 12 am on weekdays and 5 pm to 1 am on weekends.

Great food, friendly, attentive staff, reasonable prices for late night eats and ample parking.
Everything for a reasonable price.

Nabeyaki udon, specialty creative rolls, and their own signature dark beer you can't get elsewhere.“

“The food tastes very good and everyone is so friendly and provide the high quality service“

“It’s my second visit here
The sashimi and rolls are of course delicious but you should definitely try the pasta as well
It’s better than any other restaurant I’ve been to
So far, everything I’ve ordered has been amazing, so I plan to keep coming back to try everything else on the menu
The service is excellent as well“

“Food is really good! You have your privacy too, 100% would recommend this restaurant“

“chef's specials, excellent service“

“We had a fantastic family dinner at Daimanya! The service was incredibly welcoming and attentive from the moment we walked in, making us feel right at home. Every dish we ordered tasted incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. It's easily our new favorite spot in Richmond for a family night out!“

“6 stars! Best Ramen in BC so far for me.“

“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!“

“Second time here and wanted to see how their Bento boxes were.

Food was quite nice and Bento generously proportional to its price. The sushi and sashimi were fresh. A high 4 for food.

Service was acceptable considering only one person was running the whole place. Hot tea actively refilled. A solid 4.

Atmosphere was acceptable with this time the windows were boarded up. Washroom were decent. Other than that it is a high 3.

Would consider again if in the vicinity.“

“The most amazing dishes and wonderful service! Everything was delicious, including the Salmon Soba, Truffle Udon, Pork Tomahawk, A5 Wagyu courses shared between our family of four to the tasty desserts. We had so much fun with the Pawgarita and the Pawtinin for our under 20 lbs, well-behaved pups. Highly recommend this dining experience!!“

“This was my first time dining in the restaurant, but my second time trying their food. The first time was at a family gathering where someone brought sushi from here—and it wasn’t bad at all. It only took us about eight months to finally come in for a sit‑down meal, but honestly, it was worth the wait. We weren’t disappointed.

We ordered the Aburi Platter ($69), which comes with 38 pieces: Atlantic salmon oshi (6pc), ebi oshi (6pc), saba oshi (6pc), yukke tuna oshi (6pc), hotate oshi (6pc), and a tobiko roll (8pc). We also had the Mango Scallop Oshi, Tonkatsu, Dynamite Roll, Tuna Tataki Salad (which I really liked!), Gomae, Agedashi Tofu and a couple of other dishes I forgot to photograph.

We were seated right away—even at 7pm on a Saturday—so I think we lucked out. Overall, we’d definitely come back again.

On a side note, this place was likely a Korean or Chinese hot pot restaurant before, because there these large overhead ventilation fans above the tables. I can’t remember if they were painted to match the walls, but they do blend into the background quite a bit—they tried. My only concern is how much dust might settle on those fans over time and potentially drift down toward the tables when the air shifts..“

“All the menu are pork. I am Moeslem can’t eat pork. I can only eat vegetables with noodle and salmon with noodle. 🙏🙏🙏“

“Had a great experience at Sushi Mura! The sushi was fresh, the portions were generous, and everything tasted amazing. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was quick even though the restaurant was busy. Great value for the price. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This place has amazing vegan food options! I've come here many times, and the Biscoff waffle is simply amazing. I definitely recommend it. Their vegan chikun burger is absolutely delicious, and the peri peri fries are just as good.

The staff are friendly, they're open until midnight, and they have board games and great music, which makes the atmosphere really fun and welcoming. It's a cool spot on Fraser that I highly recommend!“

“美味的日本餐 服務周到“

“Tried them for the first time, will never go anywhere else again for my Sushi 👍👍“

“Ordered 2 signature set menu, gold and silver. Sashimi very fresh The skewers and the rice bowl and ramen came hot but by the time we finished the salad and sashimi the hot carbs gets lukewarm. Overall service is good. Will definitely come back and try their other stuff.“

“A tiny joint. I grew up in this neighborhood. This place has changed owner at least a few times since I have known it. This latest sushi joint is much better than the one before. They chose to keep their menu selection small, so I could not order my favorite Agedashi Tofu or BC roll, but they do excel in quality. I was pleasantly surprised at the food they crafted. Everything is flavourful and delicious. The toasted sesame on top of the scallop roll was very aromatic and added to the flavor. The salmon aburi was torched well and had a nice balance of rice and ingredients without being overly greasy. They also wrap their rolls with minimal rice, so you don't get full quickly. The place is very small, but they did a good job with the minimalist decor so it does not feel overly cramped. I would come back again to try more of their food.“

“Outstanding friendly service from the enthusiastic and attentive staff❣️Above & beyond food especially the lunch bento❣️“

“Visited for the first time since the new owners took over, and what a pleasant surprise! The restaurant has a fresh new energy while still keeping the quality and spirit of a great Japanese dining experience. The biggest standout was the freshness of the food. From the sushi to the sashimi, every bite tasted incredibly fresh and well-prepared. The ingredients were high quality, the presentation was beautiful, and you can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. The menu offers some exciting new options, bringing a different flavor and experience compared to before. The staff were welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. It's great to see this restaurant thriving under new management. If you haven't visited recently, I highly recommend giving it another try. Fresh ingredients, delicious food, friendly service, and excellent value. We'll definitely be back!“

“Best tonkatsu in town, hands down! Our kids absolutely love this place, and it’s a family favorite for a reason. The meat is incredibly juicy and the crust is perfectly crispy every single time. Even though they are already super popular and busy, they truly deserve all the success. Highly recommended!“

“This may not be prime beef, but what you pay for is definitely worth the value. The Galaxy combo is the perfect amount to celebrate Father's day. The interior is pretty cool with all the anime. The food is unique enough to want to come back and try more.
If you're comparing this steak to Gordon Ramsey Steakhouse then you're as moronic as the people he criticizes. This isn't meant to compete. But it is an overall great experience“

“I almost walked past this place because the exterior looks a bit dated and the surrounding area isn’t particularly eye-catching. The dining room is also quite small and the interior could definitely use some updating. However, the high ratings convinced me to give it a try, and I’m glad I did.

I ordered the aburi sushi combo, a tamago nigiri, and a miso soup.

The miso soup was probably the weakest part of the meal. It tasted like a fairly standard instant-style miso soup with soft tofu and rehydrated seaweed. One small suggestion: the soup bowl I received was very heavily scratched from years of use. As I got further into the soup, it became difficult to tell whether the marks were simply wear or if the bowl wasn’t completely clean. Replacing some of the older bowls would improve the overall dining experience.

The real highlight was the aburi sushi combo. It took a little longer than expected to arrive, but once it did, I understood why. The presentation was beautiful, the variety was excellent, and the quality of the fish really stood out. Every piece had great flavor, the fish was fresh and nicely marbled, and the torching added a wonderful aroma. Considering the price, it’s honestly an outstanding value and something I’d definitely recommend ordering.

My only suggestion for the aburi sushi is that it was slightly oilier than necessary. It looked like the sushi was torched directly on the serving plate, leaving quite a bit of rendered fish oil underneath. The rice had already absorbed some of the oil from the fish, and then picked up even more from the plate. It wasn’t greasy enough to ruin the dish, but it did make the overall bite a little heavier. I think torching the sushi first and plating it afterward could help preserve the same great flavor while keeping the rice lighter.

The tamago nigiri was just okay. It tasted like the tamago had been refrigerated and reheated before serving, so it lacked the soft, freshly made texture I was hoping for. To be fair, I visited around 4 p.m. and I was the only customer, so I completely understand why they weren’t making fresh tamago at that time. It was a little disappointing, but not a dealbreaker.

The service was friendly and efficient. Nothing particularly exceptional, but definitely pleasant.

Overall, despite the dated interior, the quality of the sushi exceeded my expectations. With a few small improvements, this place could be even better. I’d happily come back again, especially for the aburi sushi combo.“

“Beautiful omakase spot in Richmond with excellent decor and a very elegant atmosphere. The space is thoughtfully designed and feels refined and comfortable. The food was okay overall, but the presentation was nice and the experience was pleasant. A good spot if you appreciate the ambiance and design.“
