It was such a delightful and delicious dining experience. I didn’t expect to find such fresh and high-quality dishes in Vancouver, but I was completely wrong. Throughout the entire meal, every staff member and the chef were incredibly kind and attentive, making sure we felt comfortable without the slightest inconvenience. We were able to enjoy a wonderful dinner filled with warm and pleasant conversation. I would definitely love to visit again if I have the chance.

I’ve been to multiple omakase so far, and this was one of the best omakase experiences I’ve ever had. Chef Kevin is really attentive to the details, and I can see he put in so much effort mastering each flavor. My favorite was their squid sushi with uni on top. The texture was so smooth, and it was amazing. To top it off, the customer service of the entire team was top-notch. I highly recommend if anybody wants to have a great omakase experience whether it will be your first time or not.

My wife and I had the best Omakase experience so far! Chef Kevin is such an expert at his craft. Each meal was made with such care and delicacy and tasted amazing! On top of that, Kevin was super friendly and made us comfortable. His assistants took good care of us and we stayed a little bit late as the conversations would not end. Totally worh it 👏

Booked 3 weeks in advance, told me after 1 week that my reservation was nulled because they were overbooked already for that day. Poor booking management.

I really like this place—Chef Shin and his assistant are so steady and focused, no unnecessary moves or chatter, which I truly admire. After a long, busy day I was starving and exhausted, so much so that I completely forgot to take photos… the food disappeared too quickly! 😅 But that’s okay—I’ll just have to go back again. I will be back! 😄

We ordered a dynamite and deep fried california roll and they were very generous with the portions! The sushi was also still warm and delicious by the time it arrived at my house.

So fun to try omakase! Was an intimate setting at the bar with chef making the sushi in front of you and telling you what each dish is. You have to make a reservation for omakase!
4th time coming here. The quality of all the food served is very competitive with high-end restaurants in Japan! It has become a staple for our milestone celebrations. I recommend the Wagyu add-on.

An Unforgettable Sushi Experience in Vancouver
Dining here was truly spectacular. Each dish was a work of art—beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The service was outstanding, with staff who were attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome.
This is easily one of the best sushi restaurants in Vancouver. If you're celebrating a special occasion like an anniversary, I highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is elegant yet comfortable, making it perfect for creating lasting memories.

From the moment you step into Sushi Bar Shu, you realize you’re not just here for dinner—you’re about to experience something intimate, artistic, and unforgettable. But it’s Chef Kevin who turns this evening into something truly extraordinary.
Every single detail is intentional—from the precise knife work to the pacing of each course. Chef Kevin isn’t just preparing sushi; he’s crafting a journey. His deep knowledge of traditional Edomae techniques, paired with modern finesse, transforms every bite into a story. You can taste the season, the ocean, and the philosophy behind the fish—all in one effortless moment.
But what truly sets Chef Kevin apart is his presence. He’s warm, humble, and attentive in a way that makes you feel as if the entire experience was designed just for you. He explains each piece with clarity and passion, never overbearing, but always adding to your appreciation.
The ingredients are pristine, hand picked and flown in fresh, but it’s Chef Kevin’s mastery that brings them to life. His uni and toro melt with reverence. His aged fish reveals layers of umami that linger long after the course is over. And just when you think you’ve had your favorite bite, the next one somehow tops it.
This isn’t just a meal—it’s a memory. The kind that changes your expectations of sushi forever.
Sushi Bar Shu is a rare gem. And Chef Kevin? A quiet revolutionary in the world of sushi. We walked out grateful, full, and inspired—already thinking about when I can return. Thank you truly to the culinary apprentices and staff at Sushi Bar Shu, you’ve redefined the levels of Omakase.
If you’re fortunate enough to grab a seat, savor every moment. This is what passion tastes like!

I was super excited to try this place. It was amazing!!! Kevin was very professional and had explained every dish of what it was and how to eat it. He was also very observant that I didn't eat green onions (quite embarrassing for me 🤣), and he had asked if it was okay. 💓
We had tried the sakura omakase, which was more of a tasting menu. There was 8 settings at the sushi bar, half chose the sakura omakase and the other half chose the regular omakase. Everything was VERY fresh. Kevin exhibited his expertise with pride.
I would definitely go back and try their regular omakase menu for sure.
