27 Best Japanese Restaurants in North Vancouver

“Really nice spot. I was struggling with the menu and was assisted very politely. I’ve never had sushi so fresh and delicious. You are attended to perfectly when you’re there. They opened the door for me and welcomed me and made sure I always had water. Cozy, friendly, professional. Really happy I came here.“

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

“Tasty and cheap. Lovely venue and great service. I am sad that they aren't open on Mondays as that is my day off..“

“Great food and great service“

“Came here for lunch in North Vancouver and tried Hachi Hana for the first time.

We ordered a few rolls.

The Hot pepper roll was very tasty. A lot of prawn tempura and it was spicy. We liked it.

The scallop roll was very fresh and tasted excellent!

Finally we ordered the salmon sashimi. Pieces were quite large and fresh tasting. Great texture too!

Overall, the sushi was great. We liked it. Very good sushi rolls and great sashimi! Would come back again.“

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

“Great sushi place. I love their free tea pot which they refill. The service is really good but most importantly the food quality is top notch. Their lunch/dinner box is a great deal with lots of food. I hope they don’t drop the quality/quantity.“

“Great selection with some innovative dishes. May not be traditionally Japanese but still very good.

Examples would be the rolls. With thinly sliced cucumber as a wrap. Or soy paper.

Fresh flavors and healthy.“

“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!“

“They offer an all-you-can-eat option for about $50 per person. It’s best to start by ordering less than you think you can eat and then order more if you’re still hungry. Some rolls weren’t firm enough and tended to fall apart, but the taste was good, and the staff were friendly.“

“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“

“Very polite with great food“

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

“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.“

“I am appalled by the tone of many of these reviews. This is not the place to take revenge on a business owner because you have a view about the racist, mistreatment that he received from a local resident. I am honestly disturbed by theses behaviours.

This aside, this mom and pop restaurant is a gem in Edgemont Village and on the North Shore for that matter. The owners are hard-working, honest people who take great pride in the food that they serve. I have always had a great meal there over the last 20 years. The restaurant is CLEAN and the food is always FRESH. The owners value high quality ingredients and this is exactly what you get.“

“A Message from the Chef of Capilano Sushi

First, I’d like to sincerely thank everyone for taking the time to leave us such thoughtful reviews, whether they were 1-star or 5-star, we truly appreciate all your feedback.

That said, I want to personally apologize to those who experienced delays with our takeout service. As a small team, we usually have only one chef preparing everything fresh to order, which can limit our speed during busy times. While some restaurants pre-make rolls for efficiency, we prioritize freshness, meaning your sushi is crafted only when you order it.

I also wanted to clarify about our sashimi, we serve only wild Sockeye salmon, which has a vibrant red color when raw. When cooked, it deepens to a richer orange hue (unlike farmed Atlantic salmon, which turns from orange to light pink when cooked). If you prefer a milder appearance, you may enjoy it raw to preserve its natural color.

Thank you all for your patience and support. If you’d like to see our process up close, or just chat, feel free to visit and sit at the bar! We’d love to welcome you back soon.“

“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.“

“Was absolutely blown away by the service. Servers constantly swinging around the tables taking away empty plates, refilling water/tea. I even unwrapped my chopsticks before any food or anything had even come yet, and I look away for a moment and the wrapper has vanished. That's how fast and attentive the service is. A lot of other restaurants it feels like you have to beg for the attention of the server to get anything. While here you really feel cared for. Not to mention the sushi was great and the vibe was nice. A little more on the expensive side but wouldn't call it outrageous. Come here for an excellent dine in restaurant experience.“

“I stopped in here jet-lagged after a long flight, and the man working was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I ordered the chicken donburi bowl, which was delicious. The service was quick, and the prices were reasonable (especially for students, thanks to the great lunch deals)“

“I have been to this place so many times but last I visited they had great deals. Each day of the week they get some deals which are worth trying. I went on Thursday with a deal of 16 pieces of sushi and only 9.99 CAD. The rolls were medium sized but really delicious and I loved the FOOD.Each had 4 pieces - Tiger roll, dynamite roll, California and volcano.The one with shrimp tempura was just Wowwww. I am now gonna try their 3 CAD Bubble teas on Monday.“

“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 !“

“Suddenly came there
First time in Sushi Town, it was great
If my wife and I had any problem, it was solved
Not big problems
Sapporo beer amazing
Sushi excellent
I'm a big fan of mango sushi and they have it, 101/10
Like a screen for ordering, as well as a paper menu
Thank you for dinner!
It was my first time, but not the last one for sure“
