43 Best Japanese Restaurants in Surrey

“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 service was really good. The lady was really friendly and attentive. The ramen was good too. It was up to the price. The lemonade is quite good too. I really liked to drink the homemade lemonade after eating the ramen. Would recommend coming to this place.“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“Nice Sushi is one of my favorite sushi spots in the area. The portions are very generous! Every time I come here, I leave completely full (and happily so!). The fish is fresh, the rolls are well made, and you truly get great value for what you pay.
What really sets this place apart is the warm and thoughtful service. The staff are always friendly and care about their customers. You feel welcomed the moment you walk in.
I also really appreciate how Nice Sushi actively supports the local community, including sponsoring events and activities for nearby elementary schools. It means a lot to see a local business giving back and supporting families and kids in the neighborhood.
Great food, great people, and a big heart for the community. I keep coming back, and I’ll definitely continue recommending Nice Sushi to friends and family!“

“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.“

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

“This is a quality sushi place. The sushi was B+, but the price was an excellent deal. The Bento Box was a fairly big - didn't finish the Tempura. Cali roll was very good. This place is 5 stars because the dishes were huge (also had the wild salmon teriyaki), and the service/bathrooms/seating were immaculate. We will go back. Next time I'll stick to the sushi & maybe a salad. For some reason, Sushi places in BC are so much better/cheaper than US. Go eat at Momo Taro if you're hungry or on a budget.“

“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’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.“

“We(family) went there for dinner for the first time last week. For us leaving this review was quite easy. Food was tasty. Service was very prompt and fast. The portions were great and price was affordable and for me great for the portion and taste they served. The place and seating looks a bit worn but it was neat although cold air was coming through the heating vents for quite some time when they switched on the heater that kept us cold for longer than expected. Will definitely come back again to try other dishes. BTW I never thought my fav friend rice will be from a Japanese restaurant. I liked it. Teriyaki beef and Donburi was good too.“

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

“Love this place. Been going here for 20 years. Food is still great! One of my favourite places for vegetable tempura.

p.s. I noticed all the negative reviews on here are coming from privileged white people… that’s kinda embarrassing being racist in 2026 lol“

“Nice environment. Good food.“

“I ordered the Roll Tray B, and the person on the phone was super pleasant, pick up was also friendly and straight forward and the food was fresh, absolutely delicious, high quality and super filling. It's evident that the people at Sushi Topia put a lot of care and attention to detail in to their food. Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻“

“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!“

“This was my go to spot in South Surrey…: I moved away and miss this great restaurant….“

“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“

“I came here a few days ago, and I will definitely come back again. The waiter was very smart, quick, and attentive, and all the dishes had a really good and satisfying taste. The portion sizes were even bigger than we expected. I definitely recommend this place!“

“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.“

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

“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. 😂😂“

“Pretty good sushi and pretty good value for a little joint tucked away in a strip mall off the Fraser Hwy in Surrey.

There are only a few booths and the decor is pretty spartan but for $25 I got the sashimi lunch box and I was full. Not even sure if I got upcharged for a spicy tuna roll instead of a Cali roll.“

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

“My oasis for Eastern cuisine in the neighbourhood in the form of Japanese food.

The detailed revu:
I am so thankful that Sakuya is walkable in this neighbourhood. My sushi oasis by far and by foot. If I don't want Western culture food in this 'hood, I have little options without a car and 20 minutes.

A Korean owned Japanese restaurant means you're in good hands. Good price point and quality is what their honour demands. They recognize you and your regular order with a smile that's happily. Like a place where everybody knows your name but instead it's sushi for your family.

Both Vancouver's and Toronto's Japanese restaurants vary greatly in quality. I find there's a correlational relationship with target sales quantity.
A place where they serve sashimi (meaning the best part of the fish) means an elevated place. A place without sashimi, speaks volumes to anyone's face.

Here, they have sashimi and tasty specialty rolls ... as well as Chicken Teriyaki on a hot platter (all chicken teriyaki's should be served on a pre-heated platter by default but that's my hot take on that discussion). One cool bonus that keeps popping up in Korean-owned Japanese venues is the willingness to innovate on tradition.

The Sakuya roll was delectable delish! Look at that picture and her buddies ... the fish.
Probably about 10 minutes for food-inhaling procedures so all that was left ... was an empty dish.“

“Love the sushi. The Toro and Salmon nigiri have the biggest cuts of fish I have seen other than the Tokyo Fish Market. The restaurant accidentally forgot to throw in one of my rolls on a takeout order, and they delivered it to my house in less than 10 mins… felt more like 5 mins.“

“This is our neighbourhood, go-to, Sushi restaurant. They have two quieter sections and the main dining area. The service is always good, food is fresh and nicely presented. Prices have been going up recently but we will always come here for Sushi, just not as often as we used to.“

“​⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic experience! The customer service here is absolutely top-notch. From the second we walked into Nordel Sushi, the staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and friendly.

​The staff is efficient, polite, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great meal. Combined with a great atmosphere and wonderful food, the outstanding service is what makes this place a standout. Will definitely be coming back!“

“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“

“We absolutely love this place! The best sushi. Always fresh, large portions, and very tasty every time! The staff are always super friendly and amazing! An absolute gem!“

“Did takeout for Mother’s Day lunch
Good Agedashi Tofu
Very good prawn tempura
EXCELLENT Jalapeno Bomb( new item)😀
AWFUL IKA KARAGE(new item)😕
The IKA was VERY GREASY, fried for too long? and had weird taste? (hubby’s comments)..I could not eat it…Sauce was okay.
We have eaten Red Shiso food often and were looking forward to the new items today- the bomb was SO, SO good!
BUT the IKA was SO, SO disappointing -maybe today was an off day for the IKA ? Hubby did not want to complain…But I think the restaurant should know…we certainly will not try it again-
I phoned and spoke to the manager- I gave her the good comments for the three excellent to good items, and told her about the IKA- she apologized for my experience, which I appreciated, and she made it right.
It may be awhile before we go back there, but we will go back eventually because the food is usually very good… we just WILL NOT get the IKA karage….but will definitely get the Jalapeno Bomb!“

“This has always been my favourite Japanese food restaurant, top quality ingredients, flavorful and complete with professional top chef presentation.
I appreciated their approach to service, no rush and neither bothersome while we were actually eating & enjoying our meal.
Attentive only when needed*
The atmosphere and ambience was wonderful. I absolutely loved the modern decor, high ceilings with wide open space seating.
Not feeling so overwhelmed with people packed in like sardines like at most Sushi places.
I am so surprised how there are not enough people giving 5 stars here.
I was genuinely sad when I did go by a month ago & they were closed yet I was hoping it was just for possibly renovations of some sort because I see they are open again,Yeah!
Excited to have a fresh experience there again.
👍👌✨💗😊“

“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!“

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

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

“Very Good!!!!“

“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.“

“So happy we found this place. The fish was really fresh and everything tasted amazing. Portions were generous and you can tell they use good quality ingredients.

The staff were very kind and made us feel comfortable even during a busy time. We had a great meal and will definitely come back again.

Highly recommend if you are in Surrey“

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