“Good food and good service. Would definitely recommend this restaurant“

“Hachi Hana Japanese Restaurant is now my favourite Japanese restaurant on the North Shore.
My friend and I ordered Beef Yaki Soba, Prawn and Yam Tempura and an assortment of sushi rolls, including Unagi, California Roll, B.C. Roll, Dynamite Roll and Prawn Tempura Roll.
The Beef Yaki Soba was fantastic. The presentation was remarkable - the dish was sizzling and bubbling for at least 30 seconds when the server placed it on the table. The noodles were thin and perfectly tender.
The tempura was exceptionally warm, delicate and fluffy and was not over-battered.
The sushi was also excellent (I’m not a big fan of rice or raw fish). The unagi and B.C. rolls were particularly delicious.
The ambiance was cozy and welcoming. The restaurant was very quiet - a prefect environment to carry on a conversation.
The service was also fine. The server replenished piping hot tea on several occasions.
This restaurant is a must-try for fans of Oriental food!“

“great sushi.....many items flown in from Japan. Also very friendy staff.“

“I really enjoyed having a late lunch at Sushi Kumo. It was peaceful - I bet they are quite busy during the dinner rush.

Service was polite and very minimal like most sushi places. Decor was light, airy and clean. Nothing out of the ordinary. Prices are higher, but I think its reflected in the quality and care of the food.

I had an entrée but next time I will be trying their rolls and sashimi - overall it was pretty tasty. Would definitely like to try more dishes!

Their fish seemed higher quality and I really liked their complimentary tea; the server told me it was green tea with brown rice, for a more roasted tatse.

This restaurant a nice place to just relax and dine in. A slightly higher-end sushi place close to lonsdale! I think it'll be come a fast favourite :)“

“I ordered takeout from Genji on Oct 2025. It is located at Parkgate shopping mall in North Vancouver. I ordered 4 rolls and they were all good and packaged neatly and were ready at the agreed pickup time. I recommend Genji Japanese restaurant. I have eaten in before and service is also good.“

“Little Japan in the Lynn Valley Mall offers delicious food cooked and served by a wonderful man who always has a welcoming smile. This is my absolute favourite take-out restaurant but I've also eaten right there at one of Little Japan's tables. The food is very very good food especially the chicken or beef terriyaki. Highly recommend. Try this Lynn Valley location in North Vancouver or the Harbour Centre location in downtown Vancouver. April 2025.“

“This is good sushi for the inexpensive price point!“

“Incredible dining experience! I wish I had a bigger belly to keep eating! Highly recommend!“

“One of my favourites in North Van. Beautiful fresh and yummy! Only thing I’d like to see change is the menu organization. Veggie options weren’t marked so it was kind of dreadful trying to see what I could eat. It would be nice to see a veggie section or just a market indicator.“

“This is my favorite sushi place in Metro Vancouver. I always come back for their salmon oshi—it’s so good. Fresh, tasty, and just the right balance of flavors. The service is friendly and the place feels relaxed. I’ve tried a few other spots, but nothing beats this one for me.“

“There’s one man in a narrow kitchen and one mildly harried woman at the register and somehow all was great. I really liked the scallop rolls. Not a lot of seating but we luckily got a table in the corner. A reliable choice for a casual meal. I was sated.“

“素食Cafe 簡單美味 還有冷凍食品/湯品外帶 提高素食方便性 服務清一色是年輕人 客人也絡繹不絕“

“This is my go to sushi restaurant the food is exceptional and the prices are really reasonable. They are always quick to bring the food out and takeout is really easy from there. One thing is there is limited seating inside but overall it’s such a good sushi place.“

“awesome food, awesome prices. thus is not Waraku, but worthy of being in the same location. I will be back..“

“My dad and I have been getting takeout from Nobu for 20 years. One of my fondest childhood memories is stopping for sushi on our way from an after school activity; now, as adults, we still come and pick up when he’s in town! The food is as wonderful now as it was then, and the owners are such wonderful, kind, hard working people. We are so grateful to have Nobu still in Edgemont!!“

“Very polite with great food“

“My wife and I have been frequenting Capilano Sushi over the last 8 years - less since our move out of the community - but we still make an effort to come by and enjoy the great food and amazing company. Fantastic value, fresh food, and Johnny and Viva bring a family atmosphere to this little gem that is rare to find. Highly recommend!“

“The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Especially the yakisoba, chicken teriyaki and miso soup. Our Filipina server, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. She made sure our drinks were always full and that we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!“

“My favourite sushi place in Lynn Valley mall! I go there at list once a week for lunch or dinner. Very good food, friendly staff, quiet and nice atmosphere and decent prices! Highly recommend for everyone who likes Japanese food.“

“It's our go-to place every time in N. Vancouver! We love the selection and the quality of all the dishes, but especially the fresh sushi! The staff are very professional and friendly. Parking is a bit tricky at times but the quality of food makes up for it“

“Personally i don’t think I’ve eaten more flavour filled sushi . Came to this place randomly & wished I lived nearby it was that good
We ordered avocado oshi & salmon oshi. Both rolls were seared perfectly & the salmon melted in my mouth to the point I thought it was butter.
Tuna tataki was on point & very fresh tasting
Nicely done !“

“Sushi was quick, fresh and made with love! Rainbow roll and wild Alaska. Creamy scallop and salmon nigiri. Also ordered beef teriyaki came w lots of rice on a huge plate and beef udon which came w fresh veggies and the beef was not over cooked very flavorful broth. Highly recommend for a quick bite after a long day of playing in nature nearby!“
