Masayoshi is not just a meal; it is transportation. For a few precious hours, Vancouver disappears, and you find yourself on a quiet Hokkaido lane, in the hands of a chef who truly understands the soul of Japanese cuisine. We left feeling nourished in every sense of the word. Worth every penny. Service was attentive yet never intrusive, paced with the grace of a traditional kaiseki experience while remaining warm and welcoming. The sake was thoughtful and spot-on what we wanted, further enhancing the journey.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday at Masayoshi, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. This was our family’s very first omakase, and Chef Masayoshi exceeded every expectation we had.
The quality of the food was truly outstanding. Every course was presented like a work of art, and the flavors were exceptionally clean, fresh, and balanced. The service was equally impressive, the team took the time to explain each dish, including where every ingredient was sourced. We were blown away by the beautiful, meaty, and sweet Hokkaido scallops, as well as the gorgeous fish flown in from Japan and Nova Scotia.
Sitting at the Chef’s table and watching Chef Masayoshi craft each piece with such precision and care made the evening even more special. It felt intimate, thoughtful, and elevated without being pretentious.
Everything from the pacing to the presentation to the hospitality was excellent. This was truly a night we will always remember!

The ingredients used were fresh and of good quality, which I appreciated. However, the dishes themselves lacked creativity and refinement compared to other Michelin one-star restaurants
While nothing was particularly bad, nothing really stood out either. the flavors and presentation felt quite standard for an average omakase. Considering the restaurant’s Michelin status, I expected a bit more originality. If this were a more moderately priced omakase, I would say it’s a nice spot to enjoy good ingredients and a pleasant evening. But in terms of meeting the standards of other Michelin one-star restaurants in Vancouver, I don’t think it quite reaches that level. All my friends agree that it is quite overrated.

If food place could resemble a spa, this is it. Master Masa's gentle character is felt everywhere, and it was heavenly. I was cozy while feeling slightly nervous at the beginning (probably because I had no clue what to expect).
Portions are pretty small. So if you are one of those that require quantity over quality, this is not for you.
Experience the food artistry and taste each ingredients.
Bar seats recommended 100% for full experience. The subtle scents you find as dishes are being prepared was a bonus.

It was the best sushi I had ever had but for the price, it kinda should. It was a bit cold there and I didn't quite like the atmosphere.

Excellent food. The ambiance was a little off given that they allowed the previous sitting to stay and continue drinking after their meal, and they were extremely loud and i could barely hear the waitress over them. I assume this is not a common occurrence. But for a place that is so expensive, that kind of missed the mark. Also the waitress was not very knowledgable about sake.. which I found disappointing.

Had a great dinner. Food tasted great. Some of the flavours seemed a bit experimental, but they worked well. Ingredients were fresh. Service was amazing, the staff were super attentive. They even made a little custom wooden tag for my wife and I when they found out it was our anniversary.
If we lived in Vancouver, we would definitely come back.
Left thinking it was a work of art from start to finish.
