50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Port Moody

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

“Lovely restaurant! The service was super quick and very friendly, we never had to wait long. The food was excellent, tasted great, and presentation was very nice. The only issue we had was that one order of our spicy tuna seemed to be smaller than our other order of spicy tuna, but that quickly resolved. This is a great spot for a dinner, date, or lunch!“

“Mochi and Japanese desserts are excellent“

“Apologies to my former fav sushi restaurant but, Hanayuki is officially my new favorite Sushi Restaurant in the lower mainland.
The food came out so quickly, the staff were super friendly and accommodating despite us arriving an hour before closing, and the atmosphere was warm with very cozy seating.
It is close to some popular local spots like Rocky Point, Belcara, Sasamat Lake, and Buntzen so we will be back again regularly which is an absolute treat.
The quality of the food and fish was unparalleled and the miso soup really hit the spot after a cold swim. My friend had the Tonkatsu which she said was the best she has had in a long time and the closest to what she makes at home.
I really recommend the Salmon Run Roll and the Tataki Attack Roll. The gyoza is very crispy and the Toro melts in your mouth.
I cannot wait to go again and bring more of our family too!“

“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 .“

“Stopped by for a late lunch/early dinner and was seated right away. The service was super fast and friendly, and the restaurant itself is beautiful and clean. I had a vegetarian bento box and it was the most beautifully presented bento box I’ve ever had. The miso soup was amazing. Will definitely return soon!“

“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“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely love Sushi On in Edmonds! We’ve been coming here regularly, and a big reason is the outstanding service from Jenny. She is always incredibly friendly, attentive, and makes us feel genuinely welcome every single time. Because of her excellent service, this place has become a spot we visit almost every week.

We even brought my parents here, and they couldn’t stop complimenting the food and the service. Everything is consistently fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing, which makes the whole dining experience even better. Sushi on Edmonds never disappoints, and we always leave happy and satisfied. Highly recommend this place, especially if Jenny is taking care of you!“

“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!“

“I came here for Japanese food and it's really good , I don't really have any complaints at all.
-The mango Tango roll was like so amazing they had more than enough toppings and the flavor was like nothing I have had before
-the takoyaki was pretty good , I loved how the outside had a crispy shell , encasing the gooey inside. It was a tad pricy for how much we got though.
-the cherry blossoms roll was pretty good I loved how tangy and sweet it was.
-The veggie udon was solid , noodles had good texture , soup could use more flavor.
- the wasabi mayo prawn was alright , the sauce only tasted sweet and there wasent enough flavor so I had trouble finishing it.

Service was good , I will probably come back especially for that mango Tango roll.“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious! I’ll be coming again when i visit Vancouver. The waitress was very kind and funny. The other staff are also super sweet and light hearted ❤️ I got a chicken bento box and I enjoyed all of it. I’d recommend the miso soup, but ask for onion 🤗 10/10 Fastest service I’ve experienced as well!!“

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

“A while back, my husband, comes home and tells me that one of his classmates told him about this amazing sushi places. So we decide to order. Not only are they delicious, their rolls are super big and amazing. The way they take their time with preparing each roll is just wow. Yes! It's worth it to try them. Soon delicious! Will definitely order again soon.“

“I tries their Lunch Menu A: Ton Katsu with rice, Agedashi Tofu, Takoyaki, Miso and a japanese salad bowl (that had some vermicelli noodle).

Overall I believe the price was worth the tray, tasted great and quite filling.

Sushi Hinode has a brighter atmosphere than its predecessor Hyack Sushi, almost cafe-like. I think its a decent replacement for the staple resto.“

“With an unassuming exterior, this place will pleasantly surprise you with an exceptional dining experience. The space is brilliantly optimized to make you feel welcomed.
Greeted by a warm, friendly hostess/wait staff, we were seated quickly for lunch.

For two people, we ordered: two unagi nigiri, the ethical salmon with tobiko roll, a spicy scallop solo, and two salmon nigiri.

First—the sushi rice. It was cooked perfectly, with beautiful, distinct pearls and delicate seasoning.
The unagi was lightly torched, giving it a gentle smoky flavour. I loved that it didn’t rely on a heavy sauce; the seasoning enhanced it beautifully. It might be the best unagi I’ve ever had!

The ethical salmon roll had thinly sliced scallions and just a touch of chili powder. The delicate flavours brought out the freshness of the salmon and tobiko. The scallops were incredibly fresh and seasoned just right—no overwhelming heat, no heavy sauce. Truly the best scallop sushi!

The salmon nigiri was brilliant. The fish was so fresh it practically melted in your mouth.

Do yourself a favour and don’t drown anything in soy sauce—the sushi is made so perfectly that you really don’t need any.

Everything was so good that my friend and I ended up ordering two more salmon nigiri, two more unagi nigiri, and another scallop roll.

I will definitely be back!!!“

“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!“

“We were going to the sushi place across 160th it said it was open, but it wasn't. I had looked at Tobiko's Web site by mistake .Realising what I had done, we pulled up to try Tobikos for our first time and despite a large group of Filipino's showing up unexpectedly our waitress handled it well . Great food , good service and it looks like weve found our new favorite Sushi Restaurant, good job guys“

“Great food and great service“

“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..“

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

“Extremely good atmosphere, normally I find that little hole in the wall sushi places are the best and this is not that. It’s an extremely nice and modern restaurant but also has that authentic Japan feel, along with great sushi at an affordable price. Also the self serving robot was very cool. I think its name was Kiki lol“

“We visited to this hidden gem.
We had an amazing time. The food was amazing! We especially loved Salmon steak spaghetti and assorted Sashimi.
And we came back to here right next day to try some rolls, it didn’t disappointed us ?
Wish we had found it sooner.“

“Fresh, quick, and friendly. Everything was really good.
I loved the miso soup — it had tofu, green onions, and seaweed, which is exactly how I like it.
The negitoro roll was really good, and the wasabi was perfect for me.
The rainbow roll was the perfect size, had great variety, stayed intact and was delicious.
Everything was spot on and under $20
I was very happy with this place and i will definitely be back for more. 😋“

“The salmon poke bowl was pretty good! The fish was fresh and there were a lot of toppings and just enough sauce! Although, the rice and meat/topping ratio was a little off for me. I had a lot of leftover rice, but overall pretty good! The workers were also very nice.“

“I go here once every week and I absolutely love this place! The service is amazing and everyone is so friendly greeting me every time I visit. The inari’s are so delicious and fresh. I would definitely recommend visiting this place if you are around 🤩“

“I love everything that I ordered today, the pork katsu and shrimp curry was amazing, so crunchy, and with the sauce plus the sesame seeds that you grinded yourself while you waited for the meal to come, it smelled good and fresh. I also like the cabbage salad with its sauce and miso soup on the side. Although to me it's a bit pricier than other restaurants, I left the place feeling full and satisfied.“

“An interesting option if you’re looking for something different. All of the staff were Japanese (or so it seemed) and the atmosphere was cozy. They had all of the standard sushi options as well as their take on Japanese-style pasta.

Regarding the pasta, the spaghetti alla vongole was served with linguine so that’s as much as I’ll say about that. If you can read between the lines then you’ll know what I mean; otherwise, I truly think you won’t be disappointed as the portion is a good size and they provide a generous serving of clams.

I liked the service and the presentation of everything. There were people of all walks and the restaurant was fairly busy on a weekday evening.

Lots of parking.“

“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.“

“My girlfriends and I went to this place to try and we were pleasantly pleased with the service and food. We ordered the One Meter Special Roll for 3 people that included 6 rolls. We also ordered the Shrimp Sashimi cooked twice. Everything was yummy, service was great and the atmosphere/deco was pleasing. Street parking is available in front of restaurant or across the street at the supermarket parkade. Definitely, we would try this place again.“

“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.“

“Tried Todai sushi once and haven’t stopped ordering since! It's that good! The dynamite roll, spicy tuna roll, tuna sashimi and chicken Teriyaki are some of our favourites. They always arrive super hot and fresh. Not to mention, very quickly!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Sushi is pretty good and reasonable for the price! Only con is they MADE us pay 25 cents for a bag.... they insisted a bag was needed to carry the platter (we got a combo), even though we had carry bags of our own, some of which are quite large.

We thought it would be wide enough to carry the platter by the handles but the platter was still in sideways, and we still had to carry it by holding the bottom. So.... we didn't need the bag after all.

4 stars for that reason, otherwise the place is fine for sushi.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“amazing food. fantastic service.“

“Always fresh fish! We’ve never had a bad experience here. The atmosphere is more inviting than almost all other sushi houses I’ve been to in Vancouver.
Staff are friendly (some newer ones take a long time to notice you & take the order.) but the older ones are super kind.
Overall, this place has been our go-to for a few years now.“

“After moving into the area, I was pleasantly surprised in the quality of food. I have been here a few times now and tell all my friends about it. When walking in, we were greeted right away. It was busy, almost all the tables full.
I was saddened to hear you are relocating but, happy to hear it's not ti far away.

Best wishes in your new location. See you there 👍 😉 😀“

“Food here is delicious, very simple and comforting and full of heart.
Every dish feels like its made at home that warm you from inside out.
Nothing fancy, just honest, home-style japanese dish at its best

Highly recommend 😄“

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

“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.“

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

“Great menu options of different sauces and type of meat for tonkatsu. Just a suggestion that they should display pictures of the food or put their menu on their store front window for display as I notice some people passing by not knowing what they offer as some people don’t know what tonkatsu is. After finish8ng my meal and waiting for my husband to get the car, I noticed some tourists walking by looking around to see if they could find the menu or something at the door but nothing was available.“

“Best sushi and chicken teriyaki bowl in the entire Lower Mainland, I discovered this place way too late!

The service is incredible. After my first visit, the whole team remembered my name and always made me feel genuinely appreciated.

You must try this spot!!!“
