Omakase. I was suspicious. I blew my mind. Fabulous fresh flavors. Beautiful and delicious dishes.

Amazing food, stellar service, cutest restaurant with all the good vibes. Words and pictures don't do any justice to the amazing experience we got to have here. Do yourself a favor and just get the omakase 'chef's choice'

I visited this restaurant with high expectations, given its Michelin star, but unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. While the service was professional, kind, attentive and the setting well designed and with a nice light atmosphere (although it was very loud), the food itself did not reflect the creativity, precision, or quality typically associated with a starred establishment.
The dishes, though nicely plated, lacked depth and innovation. Flavors were muted, and some combinations felt outdated rather than daring or inspired. In short, while the meal was good by any means, it simply didn’t live up to the standard of a Michelin star. There are many other places without stars offering more inventive, flavorful, and memorable experiences. This felt more like a well-meaning fine-dining attempt than a truly remarkable culinary journey.
(For reference, we ordered: Olives, Fish Crudo, Meet Crudo, Parpadelle, Blue Fin Tuna, Tiramisu)

Had an amazing omakase experience here, well worth the price. The staff were great and every dish was on point. Loved it!

Always a fantastic experience! My wife and I come here often, and every visit feels special. The food is consistently outstanding: fresh, flavourful, and beautifully prepared. The service is just as impressive: warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Whether it’s a casual dinner or a celebration, this place never lets us down. We always leave full and happy. Highly recommended!

The flavor combinations were just amazing. I wasn't sure what to expect when I read the menu, but they bring the ingredients together like magic. Order anything you want because everything is delicious. They combine flavors and textures to create perfection.

This is quite possibly the best restaurant I’ve ever been to.
I don’t know if this is the typical experience, but whenever I go to a fine dining restaurant I end up enjoying the amuse-bouche and appetizers more than the entrees. Maybe I’ve just had bad luck. But not this place — every single dish was executed to perfection, and the mains were the best I’ve had of their kind: the fondue omelette, the pastas, and the fried fish were absolute standouts. The truffle fondue omelette in particular blew my mind. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Go for the tasting menu. We enjoyed every course. We had fried stuffed olives, fried octopus salad, charcoal udon, 24-hr coppa, alongside items not on the menu -- silky creamy omelet with king crab, Japnese scallop ceviche in ponzu and mustard, and hojicha zabaglione on passion fruit mochi in a passion fruit white chocolate shell. Every course boasts incredible textures and bold flavors. Would definitely recommend.

My wife and I had a great experience this evening! We had a reservation for 2 adults but had to bring our baby last minute and the restaurant accommodated for this last minute change. They sat us at a booth where our baby’s car seat could be nestled in safely and securely. It isn’t the most kid friendly restaurant but this was definitely a kind gesture by the team.
As for the food it was delicious! We had the following:
Octopus Salad: crispy fried octopus, wish there was more octopus, the radish and the chili sauce was delicious!
Tonno Mantecato: basically a mashed potato ball with furikake with a sourdough bread topped with tobiko - you spread the potato on the toast - very unique combination- we loved the generous amount of tobiko
Charcoal Udon: the pasta was cooked to perfection and the sauce was amazing ! Love the addition of the various seafood!
24hr Coppa: pork shoulder cooked for 24 hours, super tender pork and pairs so well with the saffron sauce
Celeriac: a great side dish to complement the Coppa!
Highly recommend all the dishes that we tried. But favourite has to be Coppa and Udon
Kid-friendliness: Not really kid friendly but they did accommodate for our baby’s car seat and she sat with us at one of the booths, which was greatly appreciated
The food was just not good. And I mean not just for Michelin standards, I mean not good in general. First course was a weird fried calamari dish with too large of leaves to eat in one bite. It was fine but nothing special. Scallops were overcooked. Taste was bleh. There was a terrible risotto that seemed like they just threw whatever they had in the kitchen in it; crab, chorizo, salmon eggs. Honestly couldn't even eat it. The waygu/ steak dishes were fine. The dessert was fine. Nothing special. Overall for a michelin star and for 200+ a person this was one of the worst experiences. The somm service is what gets it not 1 star.

Fabulous service, although a little too much service meaning we were overly coddled and a little more space would be nice. The food was phenomenal and the atmosphere is very cool, although a tad loud.

My favorite restaurant in Vancouver. Even way before they got their Michelin star, they were already a top class restaurant. Food is great, service is top notch, and they serve the best cocktails. Thier Carne Cruda and Tajarin are my favorite dishes. Just amazing

Beautiful restaurant. Definitely a retro prohibited era vibe. Food and cocktails were delicious as expected! Sever was amazing and attentive. Been wanting to go here for the past 4 or 5 years, finally got it. Definitely will return!
We loved it! We did the small omakase and there was so much food! Everything we ate was exceptional - from the octopus salad to the steak, all A+++. The staff were kind and made our experience fun. Nothing pretentious, just a delightful experience. Thank you Kissa Tanto! We will be back.
