50 Best Japanese Restaurants in Surrey

“I ordered omakase nigiri, mackerel and eel hako sushi, black cod saikyo yaki, and agedashi-tofu to takeout for our anniversary dinner. All of them are amazing! Especially, mackerel hako sushi was the best of all mackerel that I ate in Canada. Not only the fish, sushi rice was so good! Thanks to these great foods, we could spend the great anniversary! If you are looking for the real Japanese amazing sushi, I strongly recommend Yugafu!“

“This is a good place to eat Japanese Food.. 🤓“

“Amazing sushi options, very friendly staff and a great atmosphere!“

“Small cozy place with nice service and fresh food, maybe Miso should be a bit less salty
We ordered salmon and tuna sashimi, a California set, chicken wudon, fried prawns, unagi for 4 persons and it was too much for us
Payed 116cad“

“Small place with some booths and open seating, friendly welcoming staff. Came in for lunch, wasn’t too busy and we sat right down and ordered some tea. We decided on our lunch, miso and some rolls. The miso was hot, delicious umami goodness in a bowl. The rolls came shortly after and didn’t disappoint. So fresh, so tasty and satisfying. Our attentive waitress brought more tea and checked in us during our meal. Spot on service.
We wouldn’t hesitate to return next time we are in surrey. Thank you for a delicious, friendly experience.“

“the food is very nice and taste!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“Momotaro is top-notch! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. We ordered lunch for our staff today, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. A big thank you to the team at Momotaro for being so kind, organized and prompt. We truly appreciate the excellent service and look forward to our next meal!“

“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.“

“Yamako Sushi is a fantastic hole-in-the-wall spot for fresh and delicious sushi. The food is consistently good, making it a reliable choice for affordable and easy meals. While the service and ambiance are basic, the quality and freshness of the food more than make up for it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great sushi experience without breaking the bank!“

“This is a cute little family-operated sushi restaurant in the heart of Newton Village in Surrey. The owners are very friendly! The service is attentive, fast and the eats are delicious! It made for a great lunch date with a dear friend of mine.“

“Great food, agadashi tofu and salmon nigiri that melted in your mouth! Fast friendly service“

“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.“

“This is one of the best sushi restaurants in Surrey. Me and my family order from here atleast once a week, and dine in on special occasions. The sushi and seafood is consistently fresh and delicious. The Japanese dishes and Korean dishes are also incredibly tasty. The staff are attentive, hard working, and friendly. Exceptional atmosphere, exceptional service, and consistently delicious quality food.“

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

“I’ve literally been coming here since it opened, approximately 19 years ago, and the quality has not wavered! The food is beyond excellent and the service is wonderful! My family and I love it here! This is my comfort food and my celebratory food, and everything in between!

My favourite must-try’s are the Crab meat mushroom, agedashi tofu, kani sunomono, dynamite & California rolls, and the Teriyaki Box (beef or chicken).“

“Best sushi in surrey. Sushi is always fresh and made quickly. The team is so friendly to everyone that comes in and I love the family vibes. They have photos of so many customers all over the wall to show their appreciation for everyone. Great place!“

“The Best Nice people Consistent food quality Sensibly priced Take out or dine in all done well!“

“Make sure you go hungry! There’s like 2 pounds of ramen noodles. It’s like a trick bowl, Keep eating and it never empties. 😂😂“

“Overall a good experience. The quality of the food was a bit above average. The way that everything was plated, was really fun and unique and cool to see. Prices were not bad and the hours are excellent. For 5 stars, the quality/balance of ingredients would need to be adjusted to match the higher quality sushi restaurants that I've been to.“

“The food was delicious. The portions generous. Build it the way you like. Price was reasonable. Enough said, now head on over to Steve’s, you will not regret it.“

“Have been here a few times now. Still amazed at this great little spot that is tucked away at the end of a strip mall in Surrey... proof that great things do come in little packages. Cozy and comfortable, friendly and affable service and the food is fantastic. On the most recent visit we had great BC rolls, beautiful chirashi don and Dynamite combo, elegantly presented and very very good. Price is right too. Two happy thumbs up!“

“staff are very prompt and very nice food is delicious!!definitely coming back!“

“Love the food, so fresh. Over ordered last night and leftover rolls were just as moist and delicious as yesterday.. Nice selections, friendly waiters. Good central location. We are regulars there.“

“I got sushi, udon, and spicy chicken to go, and everything was delicious. The sushi was incredibly fresh with no fishy taste at all, the udon was flavorful, and the spicy chicken was so tasty. I had it yesterday, and I already want to eat it again. I’ll definitely be coming back—100%!“

“Our family regularly orders take out or dines in here, the staff are always very friendly, helpful and welcoming, the food is always great quality and the prices are reasonable compared to some other sushi restaurants. We highly recommend and will continue to return.“

“Small business, family owned! Cute classic sushi layout inside. You can eat at a table or the “bar style area” where they make your sushi. You can tell they take pride in their restaurant from the moment you walk in. Super nice people and with the warmest smiles.

Experienced great service as they were always ensuring our tea is filled and that we enjoyed are food. The prices are very affordable compared to a lot of sushi places out there these days.

The portions were SO HUGE, a lot of rice but also a lot of fillings / very big pieces of fish too (a rarity these days). I almost wanted to use my hands to eat, as each piece had solid weight to them! PLUS, The fish was extremely fresh… toro was my favorite. I ordered the same amount of rolls I usually do and can easily eat, but this time it was a struggle! And that’s a testament to the generous portions. Bonus points: the tea tasted like the proper roasted green tea that was hot, not like Luke warm water ?

To summarize, I would definitely come back!

Give it a try and support this business ??? they hit all 3 pillars which again, is rare these days: kind service, extremely generous servings and FRESH ingredients.

Parking: Busy complex!“

“Very happy to find this gem.
Fast friendly service for a family of 6. I ordered the single size spicy chirashi salad bowl, it was huge! Full of fresh sashimi. Family all enjoyed their meals as well: Reno and sockeye rolls, two ebi sunomono salads (at least 8 pieces of shrimp), karaage, California rolls for the kids, miso soup, chicken roll and fighting shrimp roll.
Next time we are in the area, we will go back.“

“this place is very generous tree with portions serve. I'm a regular customer and recommend it anytime“

“I order from here (typically using skipthedishes for movie and game nights) quite a lot with my mom. The food is the best and when we do actually go, the service and atmosphere is just the greatest. I adore their salmon combo the best, along with their dynamite rolls!
EDIT: five years later, still my go to sushi place!!“

“I love this place, staff are great, portions are generous and the food is made with care. Quality is high, prices are very reasonable! The specials are your best bet but I got a dragon roll and a salmon avocado roll. It’s the best “bang for your buck” in the area by far.“

“Food was great but the best thing about this restaurant is their staff! I had left my engagement ring in the bathroom after washing my hands. I realized it was gone when I came home and called Ato sushi right away. The server confirmed that she found it in the bathroom. The level of honesty baffled, me and it really reflects the values of this business. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your honesty! I truly appreciate it and the food was great and fresh! You have the best team! We are so lucky to have a restaurant like this in our neighborhood“

“Best sushi on earth!

Vegetarian options: My favorite is the yam avocado tempura roll and the veggie roll. Last time I tried the veggie teriyaki dish with the best rice and miso soup.

Parking: Park in the Burger King/London Drugs parking lot, it's free.

Wheelchair accessibility: You can roll your wheelchair right through the front door and staff will accommodate a table.“

“Very good sushi spot taking over from Fleetwood Sushi. Sushi is quick and good quality. Service and staff are great. One of my favorite take out spots but I’m sure dine in service is good too. They are attentive to allergies (including gluten free). Great location wish them all the best.“

“The dining experience was fantastic! The food was delicious, with a spacious and comfortable environment that added to the enjoyment. The staff were attentive and friendly, making us feel very welcome. The only small downside was the portion sizes, which were a bit smaller than expected. Overall, highly recommended!“

“Cozy spot with SERIOUSLY fresh fish. The Fraser Heights roll was a fun local twist. it's loaded with flavour and beautifully plated. Service is attentive without hovering, and the miso soup hits the spot on rainy Surrey evenings but not during this time haha it's summer now. Can’t wait to return.“

“If you’re looking to enjoy real, top-notch Japanese cuisine, you absolutely have to visit Damiko Sushi in South Surrey. Every time I go, I’m blown away by the quality, freshness, and authentic flavours. This place is a hidden gem!

My personal favourite? The Damiko House Salad — it’s not just a salad, it’s a perfect meal. The balance of textures, flavours, and that incredible house dressing make it unforgettable. It’s refreshing, satisfying, and something I crave all the time.

Their miso soup is hands-down the best I’ve ever had. Deep, rich flavour with the perfect umami — it’s pure comfort in a bowl. But it doesn’t stop there… every dish I’ve tried is crafted with care, from sushi rolls to sashimi to their daily specials.

The staff are always welcoming, the atmosphere is cozy and clean, and the attention to detail is evident in everything they do. Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur or just discovering Japanese cuisine, Damiko Sushi is a must-visit.

Highly recommend — your taste buds will thank you!“

“Ordered from Uber eats for dinner. Had the Assorted Sashimi (18 pieces) and Loco Roll (Deep fried California roll with cream cheese inside and spicy mayo & unagi sauce on top).

The assorted sashimi was fresh and delicious. Came with salmon, sockeye salmon, tuna, shrimp, Tako (octopus), Hamachi (yellowtail) and Hokkigai (surf clam). A nice assortment of sashimi that even my son was appreciative.

The Loco Roll was tasty and crispy (only because we don't live to far from the restaurant).

My only complaint was that the sashimi was in the same bag as the Loco Roll so it would have heated the sashimi and probably not as good so luckily the delivery was not more than 10 minutes.“

“Good food. Good service. Excellent Covid procedures in place. One of the safest feeling places I've eaten since the pandemic started.“

“Food was very good, spicy tuna sashimi one of the favorites. Great spot for casual eats. Server took about 15 minutes until checking if we were ready to order, at the moment the server came n was already half way to the counter to ask if we could order now. Not sure where she was but was a lot longer than expected. It may be because we were sat in a corner? Great food, maybe just an off day for the staff. It was not busy, at about 2pm.“

“A hidden gem in the Surrey Central area with quality sushi and fast, friendly service all for reasonable prices.I love eating from here and have gone 3 or 4 times now, ordering their Salmon Combo usually and seaweed salad- both of which are filling and quite delicious. The california roll is made with soft white and fluffy rice and the classic california filling. The nigiri is fresh and yummy. The service is fast and friendly, the lady who runs the store is very nice and the man who makes the sushi does a careful job. Do not hesitate to order.“

“Todo delicioso! Me encanto… a buen precio y súper limpio el lugar“

“Nice restaurant“

“The sushi is the freshest you will get anywhere and their portions are generous while the price is very reasonable. We've been three times lately and it's always great. The restaurant is a hole-in-the-wall type, so not much they can do to make it glamourous, but it is so worthwhile.

Parking: Its at the edge of a mall so lots of parking, or if you live in Newton Village, very walkable.“

“Tasty. Good Prices and Super Convenient. Volcano Roll is so good. Perfect heat level.“

“One of my favourite locations. I come here often and the quality of food and meals are great. The staff is always so welcoming and friendly and especially the lady at the front cashier she’s always there and makes it easy for me to order.“

“Best bento box I ever had. Service is very good. The restaurant is clean. Highly recommend this restaurant.“
