50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Port Moody

“Best sushi in Burnaby. The staff are great.“

“We have been going to this restaurant for over 15 years. The couple who runs the shop are great. Front of house is taken care of by an attentive staff. My son a decade ago would go here for lunch.. by himself. They were so pleased and kind such a young kid would come in and order eat and pay. They made sure they gave him special entrees and free appetizers because they were so smitten with my son. He is full grown now .. and when we go there now they are very cordial and treat us like long lost friends.
The food is next level. So much to choose from. .. as we always order deep fried prawn tempura… with the crispy fried heads.. lol yum
The spicy scallop roll to the Port Moody roll and dragon roll… holy cow so good!
Every once in a while we get free appt gifts from the sushi master because we sit right at the sushi bar. Then another wave of curry cutlets on rice .. whoa so good
Chicken yakiudon … yum!
Then a large bottle of sake and green tea
The whole meal of over 10 entrees and the meals are always around $100-$130 for three people. We always roll out of their feeling like a couple of snakes who just ate a large cow.. :)
We absolutely recommend murasaki sushi for so many reasons and years they have been in business serving the tri cities“

“Mochi and Japanese desserts are excellent“

“UPDATE 10.MAY.2026
Back to 5 stars. They were busy for Mother's day and lots of staff working; what we saw was organised chaos. We still think Hanayuki Sushi has to be [one of] the best sushi restaurants, including fine dine ones too! Great taste, done just right, and never dry. Some very creative special rolls too. And bonus: IF any leftover, it's still very good!
Recommend without any hesitation!

PREVIOUS (sometime 2025)
This time I've knocked off one star. We always enjoy Hanayuki Sushi for taste and value, which often don't go together. The star less is because, very surprisingly, they didn't have their act together for pickup orders. What was supposed to be 20 minutes became almost 45 minutes...and no acknowledgement or apology for the wait. Food still tasted good though. 👍“

“I came out for lunch with my son . We ordered sushi rolls it was fabulous and we can taste the freshness in salmon and tuna . The rolls were good size and I had lunch teriyaki bento box and overall I would say sushi was great and definitely come back .“

“Lovely place, so atmospheric. When we came in we had a hearty greeting from the staff! Food was great, many choices available, and it all came in quickly. The only thing I found wanting was pictures in the menu—it would’ve been nice to see exactly what I was ordering. Otherwise, a darling place to have dinner with friends!“

“The quality of the food, the flavour and the pride that gets put into every morsel makes me want to eat there 6 days a week“

“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.“

“Kinton Ramen is a great restaurant in the heart of King George. Located just minutes off the skytrain line it's very accessible. The food is amazing. Across all the times I've been here, there has been consistently zero issues with the food itself (outside of wrong items), and more than just that, the quality is extremely high. The various different menu options don't disappoint, regardless of what you order.

Service is... mixed. While Staff are always friendly and professional, there have been semi-frequent issues with the ordered items. For example, getting a Shoyu Ramen instead of a Miso Ramen, or receiving a regular Coke instead of a Diet Coke, which could cause issues with allergies or food restrictions if the Customer can't or doesn't know how to recognize the issue on sight.

The Atmosphere for the restaurant is excellent, however it can be tough to sit down for an extended time. The tables are relatively small, and all seats are stools without backs. There is a small space under each stool to place some personal belongings but nowhere to place a winter coat, for example. The provided space wouldn't be sufficient. It does give a feeling of wanting you to eat, and then leave quickly, rather than take your time and enjoy the food and time with those who might be with you.

Overall, I'm giving this location 4 stars for now, with a hope that it will improve to 5 in the future!“

“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.“

“Came here after Willingdon Church since it’s across the street. It looked kind of empty and inside so I didn't have high expectations, but the food was actually really good! The sushi rolls we got were Alaska, red, and munch roll. To my surprise, the Alaska roll was my favourite! We also got a beef udon soup that was really delicious and bigger than I expected. We'll definitely come back regularly.“

“Me and my family went there on mother’s day.

We ordered
1 x Mentaiko Cream Udon (our most favorite, very creamy and delicious)
2 x House special rolls
2 x Takoyaki
1 x Spicy crispy roll

Everything came down to $80 for 3 people and we were even able to pack leftovers. The staffs are kind and the foods are terrific!! 10/10“

“The food and service was excellent! Atmosphere was very clean and comfortable.“

“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!“

“Kisso has become our family’s go‑to spot in Port Coquitlam. We usually come with a group of about 16 people, and they always set us up in the corner booths, which works perfectly for a large party. I always feel a bit bad because we’re loud and there are so many of us, but the staff handle it with so much patience and kindness.

The Japanese‑speaking staff are especially wonderful — warm, polite, and always attentive. The food is consistently fresh, the portions are great, and the atmosphere feels welcoming every single time. It’s rare to find a restaurant that treats big groups this well, and we appreciate them so much.“

“We loved the food everything was great: the music, the atmosphere, and the airy environment. We also got to sit at the bar area and watch the chef making sushi, which was a really nice experience.

The only thing I found a bit salty was the soy sauce. If it could be made a little less salty, it would be wonderful.

Thank you for the lovely, delicious dinner!“

“Our fave sushi place! Fresh; great "special rolls" (Crazy Girl & Popcorn Roll 😍) & very friendly, attentive service. Reasonable $'s, too.“

“Hidden gem alert 🍣✨

I’m usually not an unagi person, but I actually loved it here. Honestly, I’d make the trip from Victoria just for their sushi 😭 Everything tasted incredibly fresh and high quality, and you can really tell how much care goes into each dish. Highly recommend checking this place out!

And shoutout to the staff for being so friendly and welcoming. Love the atmosphere 💚💜

See you soon 🍣“

“I used to live in Fleetwood and we loved to either visit Tobiko's or pick up takeout. I have moved to White Rock and wanted good sushi with a friend - so we decided to make our way to Tobiko. I was very happy to see the same sushi chef (likely owner) and the 2 ladies receiving customers were SO FRIENDLY to us and all customers who came in (I always notice service). The sushi was as good as I remembered and wish Tobiko's was closer to me. Excellent job Tobiko's and I will try to get back more often! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY.“

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

“The restaurant is open now. I highly recommend it, the food is great, staff and owners are very nice and friendly. The service is also very good.“

“Lovely owners! Very kind and personable. The food was tasty as well and very filling. Will definitely come here to eat instead of the food courts at Brentwood wall. It’s worth crossing the street for a nice meal.
Well done gentlemen.“

“Great food and great service“

“My go-to local restaurant whenever friends are visiting. Their unique Vancouver-style rolls always wow the crowd! We love the platters because the portions are generous and the flavors are perfectly balanced.
Beyond the sushi, the Seafood Carbonara spaghetti is a must-try—so creamy and flavorful. The staff is always welcoming, and the 10% off for takeout is a nice bonus. Highly recommend!“

“Nice little mom and pop shop. Food is fresh, delicious, generous proportions, and price is more than reasonable in comparison to most sushi places. It's not much of a restaurant, more of a order to go place. There is seating but very limited. Nice little gem in my honest opinion, good for a quick stop/meal on the go. They also do not demand any tips, which is refreshing.“

“I had an amazing experience at Katsuya, the service was attentive and friendly, this place offers an authentic and top-notch katsu experience. Highly recommend!“

“Best Japanese restaurant in Port Coquitlam. My colleagues and I come here for lunch. Good food, friendly staff. Only con is sometimes the wait for your food can be long if it's busy.“

“Japanese-owned restaurant. A go-to spot when I’m craving authentic Japanese food in Port Coquitlam. I don’t usually like raw meat or fish, but their sashimi is so fresh that even I can enjoy it. I recommend calling ahead for a reservation before you go.“

“Close to old ownership but so expensive can't afford more than once a year.“

“Hidden gem in Burnaby North, best Japanese/Korean venue on Hastings in Burnaby. Definitely the best tempuras in Lower Mainland that I've ever eaten; light and crispy thin batter, not greasy at all. Restaurant overall cleanliness well maintained, convenient parking, exceptionally pleasant and attentive staff. Highly recommended for anyone wishing a happy meal with friends or families for reasonable pricing for similar venues in area.“

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

“This is a great alternative food place in the mall. It's located on the lower floor so it's far away from the food court and easily missed. We've been going here quite frequently actually, the food is made to order and it's quick, fresh and convenient. For a fast food type sushi place, it satisfies the craving.“

“I’ve been coming to this sushi place for a few years now. It’s one of those neighborhood spots that’s been around for a long time.

The food is clean and consistent, the prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous compared to other sushi places. You can tell it’s been supported by the community for years.

It’s not fancy, but that’s part of what I like about it. Places that stay in the same spot for over 10 years usually do so for a reason. I’ve always enjoyed my meals here.“

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

“I truly enjoyed being here.
The atmosphere was amazing, the food was absolutely delicious, and being surrounded by this community made the whole experience even more special.
Thank you for creating such a warm and beautiful environment ✨“

“Great little neighbourhood Japanese restaurant. I usually order take out and the food was piping hot when I got home. Which for take out, it is extraordinary for me. I have also eaten at the restaurant. The server was attentive and courteous. Great little neighbourhood gem.“

“This restaurant is not fancy or anything, but the food service and cleanliness of the place was very good .
We went there several months ago and everybody left satisfied .
there is parking around the areas and back as well on the street as for the handicap i never even paid attention too it.
Thank you
Helena Kong“

“We always enjoy visiting Genji Japanese Restaurant. The rolls and sashimi are consistently fresh and delicious, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite.

It is one of those places we keep coming back to with pleasure because the experience is always reliable and enjoyable. The staff are wonderful, very friendly and attentive, and the service is consistently excellent. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Japanese cuisine.“

“amazing food. fantastic service.“

“The food is always fresh and made with well trained hands. The atmosphere is casual but classy...the staff are so friendly. I personally think this is one of the best Sushi places in Surrey.“

“Had a lovely experience at Guildford Sushi House! The food was excellent; we tried several appetizers along with a variety of sushi rolls, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The menu has a huge assortment of options, so there’s something for everyone.

The ambience is cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal. A special thank you to Tiffany, who was incredibly sweet and attentive throughout our visit. Her friendly service made the experience even better.

We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great prices, love their aburi set. I get it every time I go. It's quiet and quaint. The staff there knows their customers well as they are often regulars. A bit of a hidden gem. A favorite among many is their Korean chirashi don. Huge bowl with sashimi, rice, lettuce, and a hot sauce. Loved by many Korean regulars.“

“I came here Last Sept 26, 2024. The foods i ordered were so delicious, well served. I want to commend also their cook and waiters, they are so approachable and very accomodating.

Will revisit this restaurant, again. Job well done ❤️“

“Great ambiance and beautiful interior made for a wonderful birthday evening out! Food selection is amazing with so many fancy rolls. The flame seared Aburi Oshi (tuna poke) is fabulous and so flavourful! Service was quick and very friendly. Meals have always been delicious here!“

“I found this hidden gem online, and even though there are quite a few sushi spots in the area, this one stood out because of the great reviews. I called ahead to place an order, and the person who answered the phone was so polite, patient, and helpful with all my questions.

I ordered for a family of 5, and when I arrived, she let me know they added a free item for us to try, and it was absolutely delicious! The food was fresh and tasty, and the miso soup was especially great.

I’ll definitely be ordering again. Check them out if you’re in the Burnaby area!“

“The Hire Katsu was so tasty and tender, very friendly staff too.“

“100% Japanese own managed and ran and staffed I gotta say five out of five Excellent service“

“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.“

“Always satisfied with their service and food. They came up with new dessert items and I was so curious. I tried looking for photos of the strawberry ice-cream sleeping bear but couldn't find it, so I just ordered it myself 🤣
Here it is for those who are curious to see..“

“My boys and I had an exceptional experience even with take-out it was a breeze the hostess was so warm and kind and when we came home to eat little did we know there was an additional surprise que surprise! in our bags we were so delighted thank you so much for the amazing quality service it was a brilliant spark to our day“
