23 Best Japanese Restaurants in North Vancouver

“This place is the best. Amazing aburi sushi (and sashimi!) and customer service. They forgot an item on one of my orders and literally texted me to let me know of the mistake, I mean, who does that?! They offered a refund or to add the items to a future order. Can't recommend this place enough!“

“Great food and great service“

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

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

“Had lunch at Little Tokyo Sushi and it was a great find. Ordered the kappa roll to go — rice was perfectly cooked, the nori stayed crisp, and the cucumber was fresh and crunchy. Service was quick and friendly, and prices are very reasonable for the quality. The menu has tons of options and I'll definitely be back to try the House Roll. Highly recommend if you're in the area!“

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

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

“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.“

“Best Japanese restaurant experience on the north shore. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Do yourself a favor, go to Hachi Hana alone one night and feel like family. Thank you to the staff of Hachi Hana!. #1 Japanese restaurant on the North Shore. No contest.“

“Kumo is a fantastic sushi spot in Lower Lonsdale! The food is always fresh and delicious, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. A great place for a casual lunch or dinner.
Recommended! 💯✨😋“

“We loved our experience here!! I traveled from the States to Canada for this sushi and this is the best by far. The service provided by Rachel was spectacular as they were very accommodating with our requests. I really loved the Assorted Sashimi and Soy Garlic Fried Chicken. I would recommend reserving a booth as it adds to their calming atmosphere and experience. The bathroom was so squeaky clean. LOVE THAT“

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

“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.“

“Very polite with great food“

“A cute little sushi spot in the north shore.
When I ate here, I got a feeling that the place was popular with the locals as the clients were familiar with the staff, and vice versa.
Great selection of fresh sushi.

I would eat here again“

“Had a lovely experience at Valley Sushi. It was our first time here and we weren't sure what to expect but it was delicious and the special rolls are priced very reasonably compared to many places these days. My baby was screaming his head off but the staff was so friendly and kept him entertained. Such a pleasant meal and location!“

“Absolutely hands down the best yakisoba I have had in a long time! Beautiful flavor. Nice and small restaurant the seating filled up fast for late lunch, service was a bit slow but it seemed like they were in between shifts for servers. Will go back 100%“

“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.“

“I’m in Budapest right now thinking of this restaurant.

Been going here since I was 10 years old and have never been disappointed. The family who owns the restaurants are extremely kind and appreciative of their customers.

Also the sushi kicks ass so you can’t lose.“

“One of our favorite neighborhood sushi spots—and a place we’ve been coming back to for years.

Whenever we’re craving sushi and aren’t looking to try somewhere new, this is always our first choice.

If there’s one roll you have to order, it’s the California Roll .. It’s been one of our favorites for years, and it never disappoints.

Beyond the delicious sushi, the warm hospitality, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere are what keep us coming back. Great food is important, but great people make the experience unforgettable.

If you’re a sushi lover, this place is definitely worth a visit.“

“Definitely coming back. And for those reading, you should definitely give it a shot it really feels like they put a lot of effort and love into their food!
Best freaking sushi EVER. I was just passing by and decided to give it a shot and I am in love! That's the best sushi I've had in a while and to be honest I was very surprised when I came to leave a review and saw so many bad reviews!
Honestly me and my husband had a great experience with the food and the service, the owners were just focused on what they were doing but really friendly when they approached us all the time.
I'd leave a photo but ate it too fast to snap a pic lol“
