“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.. 🤓“

“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!“

“Small cozy place with nice service and fresh food, maybe Miso should be a bit less salty

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and kids utensils for when you dine in! So great!!“

“Cute little (maybe a dozen tables) strip mall Japanese on King George in White Rock.

Very good prices and good fish quality. There were several special fish and other items on the specials board.

Everyone was super friendly, and our tea mugs were refilled continually! I would definitely make this a stop when passing through

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian sushi rolls, rice dishes, salads, and appies on the menu.

Parking: Shared with shopping centre. There were a few dozen spots, and the lot was not crowded.“

“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.“

“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).“

“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“

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

“this hidden gem in the food court is a delightful surprise. The quality of food is impressive, especially for a casual setting. It’s not traditional Japanese sushi, but it’s the best food court sushi I’ve been. Highly recommend sushi combo (enough for 1 person)“

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

“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. 😂😂“

“You'll be amazed at how cosy this place is once you enter. The food was amazing. I normally get the Lunch or Dinner Bento boxes because they are bang for your buck but went with the Beef Bulgogi Hot Stone with Rice instead of noodles this time. Also tried the Sushi pizza and if you haven't you are missing out because this was delicious from the flavours to presentation.“

“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!“

“I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance during my work hours and chose Box No. 1 for lunch. I can’t say enough about how fresh and delicious the food was—it was incredibly fresh and tasty. Along with the meal, they served green tea and soup, which was also very flavorful. I highly recommend this place—great quality, reasonable prices, and excellent staff service.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“This place has THE BEST SUSHI. Good portions for great pricing not like some super expensive sushi places that give you next to no food. Their miso soup is heavenly, above average by a wide margin and the restaurant is always very clean. Staff is great and friendly! Literally do not go anywhere else for amazing sushi. The Nagoya Special roll is excellent and not too pricy for a fancy roll. Quality is always very fresh and the food comes out quickly.“

“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.“

“Food is delicious but service is lacking.

Water or menus were not provided until we called the server to order and had to ask. It felt more like self service than anything. I would've been more understanding if it was packed but there were max 5 tables.

Only saving grace was that the food is great.

Would I order pickup or delivery? Yes. Would I come in to eat? Maybe not.“

“Truly fantastic sushi - always fresh and tasty. We love getting brown rice instead of white rice, and they’re always accommodating. We also love their chicken karaage and their sunomono salad. We always get our takeout from there, but have dined in as well.“

“Usually visit this restaurant bec of close location from work so used to so so service from staff but tonight’s celebration with friends was a blast. All because of the top notch , quick and friendly service from the always smiling Joe Ho. So my five stars is not for the food , it’s for the outstanding customer service our group of nine experienced on Saturday night 11/2/24.“

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

“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“

“The Nigiri Combo was an absolute standout. Each piece of fish was fresh and beautifully presented. The balance of flavors—between the delicate fish and perfectly seasoned rice—was sublime.

We also tried the Tataki, which was bursting with flavor. The light, smoky char on the outside with the tender texture inside was a true highlight.

The Tempura was crisp and golden. It was light and not greasy at all.

The Mentaiko Pasta was delightful. Creamy, rich, and slightly spicy, the sauce perfectly coated the pasta.

A sushi spot that delivers not only on taste but also on presentation and atmosphere.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Food was very good and service for eat in or takeout has been excellent! Definitely recommend.

Dietary restrictions: They were very accommodating for food allergy requirements and that means a lot to those who have food allergies.“

“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.“

“Nice restaurant“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
