50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Port Moody

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

“Murasaki restaurant is a good place to have fresh and delicious sushi. The environment is really cool with positive vibes with separated walls which gives you more vibes of Japanese place! Sushis are decorated fabulously and green tea served was really good. 😊“

“Traditional Japanese food 👍🏼“

“Mochi and Japanese desserts are excellent“

“It’s really gone down hill. The sushi is okay but over priced. I tolerated it as it’s near my neighbourhood, however, today the person seating us and serving us was very rude. My friend and I said it was the rudest we have ever seen- especially when she aggressively tossed the chopsticks at our table and would not engage at all. I have never not tipped, and today I did due to the horrible and disrespectful service. I will not be back.“

“We had an absolutely amazing dinner at Sushiway! The service was the fastest we’ve ever experienced, the sashimi was incredibly fresh, the sushi was delicious, and the portions were very generous. The Happy Hour beer and chicken karaage combo was definitely the biggest surprise, as it was such a great deal and absolutely delicious!

I highly recommend this place, and I’m sure we’ll be back!!!:)“

“It was our first time dining here for dinner, and we really enjoyed the experience. The location is very convenient, with lots of parking available. The ambiance is nice, clean, and pleasing to the eyes. We also loved the modern, contemporary design and the concrete-style look.

The food was really good, especially the Okonomiyaki and Mango Roll. The servers were very friendly and charming, and the service was fast. We also loved how creative and well-presented the food was. Overall, we had a great dining experience and would definitely come back!“

“Ordered the Garden Veggie Ramen ($17.99) for lunch. Great bowl of cold ramen, which I'm not used to, but the server does confirm it's what you want when taking your order. You get a choice of thick or thin noodles. I opted for no sesame seeds. It was very refreshing on a hot day and I enjoyed the cold veggie broth more than I expected. Good amount of ingredients like the wakame. Nicely seasoned, jammy egg. Unfortunately, the corn wasn't sweet. I went to a different Kinton location a couple weeks back, and the corn in my ramen bowl was perfectly sweet, so that was a bit of a downer to an otherwise excellent bowl.

Service is efficient and there's not a long wait for your food. Tables are quite close together and they have a mix of tables (for 2-4) and bar seating.“

“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“

“We discovered this place earlier this year and it’s our go to sushi place now! We were struggling to find somewhere that had consistent food quality and fair prices. We are more than happy every time we finish our food! The portions are an amazing size for the price you pay. If you’re in the area make sure to check it out!“

“Such a great sushi spot!

The sushi is always fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. My absolute favorites are the Popcorn Roll and the Lion King Roll—both are incredible and a must-try if you're visiting for the first time.

The service is always friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. I've been here several times and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

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

“Delicious! Sushi at a simple understated restaurant. Nice presentation, good portion, sizes, and great prices. The futamaki fat rolls were fantastic and so was the tempura. Hand rolls are more like a taco than a cone, and the tempura looks different but it is delicious. Everything was fresh and had balanced seasoning and flavors. Friendly people with good service. Parking out front and also the street behind and a park close by.“

“​This sushi spot inside the mall is great! I had the nigiri combo and was extremely satisfied—it even comes with miso soup, which was awesome. You can tell they really care about hygiene since they change their disposable gloves frequently while making the food. The sashimi is so fresh and delicious, and the staff were very friendly. I will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Absolutely unreal. This is hands down one of the best sushi restaurants I’ve ever been to. Everything was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The service was amazing—everyone was so friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect. You can tell they genuinely care about the quality of their food. If you’re even thinking about trying this place, do it. Everyone needs to come here at least once—you won’t be disappointed. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Consistently exceptional food, and service. As well, their value proposition is amazing. I work close by and I am delighted to be a frequent lunch, and dinner customer. Cannot say enough great things about these folks 😀💗“

“A tastefully authentic taste of japanese sushi cuisine!
The place has a sky-light which gives the place a unique lively feel along with the traditional styling ties it all together. Food was delicious and the miso soup was one of the best I've ever had. Price of the food is a tad pricey but for what you order you get a great portion and presentation was better than all the other sushi restaurants! Highly recommend for a night out or like I did after a hike.“

“My boyfriend has been going to this restaurant since his highschool days and I’m glad that it has now become our go to spot when it comes to getting sushi in Surrey. The service is always the best, all the workers are so friendly. The food never disappoints either, it’s always fresh and plated beautifully! Thank you for always giving us the best experience ☺“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“This place is so dope the food is amazing they're huge portions great for eating with multiple people and your rolls and other sushi gets frontier table on a wooden boat with dry ice creating smoke for an awesome visual absolutely love this place you can order for takeout you can order from home for delivery and you can also eat in.“

“I have been here multiples times and always ordered something else. I’ve ordered various sushi rolls, and many types of their Udon and it’s always been SO DELICIOUS!
The host, Erica is so lovely and beautiful and kind and the chef in the back is so talented and has such an advanced skill for flavor.
I have become a regular there and I will be one for a long time.
Highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

“Ordered for pick up. Got a chopped scallop roll, Poke Poke Roll, Salmon Aburi Oshi and West Coast roll. Everything was great and tasted well.
Had an issue with the aburi as it seemed quite burnt compared to other reviews. This made the salmon dry. Hoping it was a one time issue would want to come back.“

“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.“

“Great food and great 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“

“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.“

“We were nearby and craving sushi so we stumbled into this gem. :)

Clean and open atmosphere. The booths were a bit tight for me, but seated us nonetheless.

The portion was generous and the prices were reasonable. I was surprised how big the chirashi was. Everything tasted great. Would come again.
We missed the happy hour by 15 mins…. but we were too hungry. Next time. :)“

“Great food low key dined in & very clean!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“We’ve been loyal customers for over 15 years, and Sushi Bar Shyun never disappoints! The food is always top-notch, and the service is consistently excellent. It’s rare to find truly authentic Japanese sushi, and this place delivers every time. Highly recommended!“

“Sushi was great. Super fresh and well portioned. We got the deluxe chirashi and it was loaded with lots of sashimi and not overly on the rice. The toro was melt in your mouth and fresh. The staff was friendly. It is a small restaurant with limited tables but we were able to sit at the bar today. Just note the cellular signal is not good here so you’ll have to connect to the store wifi to get service. But not a big deal for us.“

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

“From an omakase perspective, the value for what you get is the best you'll find in the lower mainland. Keith and Chika do an amazing job of personalizing the experience and show how much they genuinely care about your experience and how passionate they are about their craft. The freshness and quality of the fish/seafood is top notch. You won't be disappointed. 10/10 recommend.“

“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. 🙏🙏🙏“

“My husband and I love Green leaf sushi. Especially this location. The food and customer service is 10/10. We bring everyone here who’s visiting us from out of town and we also do take out for their aburi sushi. The OMG sushi is huge!! Highly recommend.“

“Family and I always go to this place as it's our regular sushi place near by! The staff is always welcoming and the kitchen always seem super cheerful & kind! They gave my cat Zuzu some fish as well on my last visit plus always happy to fix any mistakes that occur with orders! I hope may gentle and kind days find this place and their amazing staff! Thank you - Waffle“

“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!“

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