50 Best Sushi Bars in Vancouver

“值得推荐的日餐，意犹未尽 ！“

“We had an amazing experience at Sushi Jin! It was my boyfriend’s birthday today, and we made a reservation in advance for their omakase. Both the chef and his wife were incredibly warm and friendly, which made the evening even more special. The ingredients were super fresh, and everything tasted delicious. We especially loved their wasabi and homemade ginger — such a nice touch! It was also a pleasure to watch the chef carefully prepare each dish — truly a beautiful and enjoyable experience. Since they only serve six guests at a time, it’s really quiet and private, which made it feel even more special. Highly recommend!“

“Where do I even begin. This experience was just that…an experience. Every single detail of our meal was meticulously thought out and considered. Chef Lee loves his craft and his passion for quality shows. From the moment you walk through the door it’s clear the night is one to remember.

Lee’s also assisted by his wonderful wife only making the experience that much better. It felt more like we’ve been invited to dinner at their home than at a restaurant.

Every ingredient, plate, cup and detail imaginable was carefully selected. You’re truly paying to watch someone prepare food they love and it last felt in each bite.

I haven’t left this wow’s after a meal in a long time and the recognition chef Lee and his team have gotten is well deserved.

We’ll definitely be returning again as the season changes to experience this again…CANT WAIT!!!“

“Excellent dining experience. High quality fish and service. I had the omakase dinner and the variety of dishes and sushi was very good! Thank you so much for a wonderful dinner Tetsu Sushi Bar!“

“Okay… yes the price is high, but it’s worth every damn penny. I’m pretty cheap when it comes to going out, and this is probably the ONLY Japanese restaurant in Vancouver that I would spend 200+ on a dinner. Food quality is amazing, I’m somewhat of a fisherman and loves to foraging seafood, and the quality of seafood there is on par or even better than some seafood I caught myself. Oh and the service, I feel weird that I’m willingly paying 20% tip on a dinner. Guy’s giving me a whole biology lesson on the fish I’m eating, I’d just consider the tip as tutoring fee. 100% recommend, just send it, it’s worth it I promise.“

“This is a perfect omakase spot for a special occasion with your partner. Reservations are hard to get, so be sure to book well in advance 🤗. From the very beginning, when the chefs come out to greet you, you feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. Each dish is crafted with care and bursting with freshness. I highly recommend experiencing this place at least once—it’s truly unforgettable“

“This sushi place is a hidden gem! The sushi is incredibly authentic, featuring soft sushi rice that perfectly complements the fresh sashimi.

While it’s a small spot, the seating is comfortable, making it a great place to enjoy a meal :)“

“Great ambiance and exactingly prepared nigiri is what Maumi is all about. Extensive sake list and some nice Champagnes.“

“an edible NFT you've got to be hete“

“Friendly stuff and the food price is decent. Can order through their app, it’s convenient!“

“Absolute gem of a restaurant. I am a BIG sushi lover and am ho estly mind blown by the quality/price ratio.

Great location, every roll I tried was done to perfection and the food is served so fast. Was so good we came back the same weekend for another meal.“

“airco inside , nice beverages“

“Delicious veggie sushi!!!!“

“We are visiting from Winnipeg and Tom sushi was recommended to us from friends that travelled to Vancouver. Safe to say this is one of the best sushi restaurant I've been to. It gets busy so we were told 1hr wait, but got a text after 30mins. Service great, food is great. Going to miss Tom sushi and the loin cheese Katsu!“

“Fun Japanese resto thats a bit tucked away but well worth finding! Interior has a great vintage vibe and we got a table with stunning views of English Bay. Quality of sushi and other food is higher quality than most justifying the price point.

100% would come back, staff is friendly, location view is amazing and most importantly the food was super yummy!“

“This is the best value sushi I’ve tried in Vancouver. The fish is fresh with generous portions, and the service is quick and attentive. My favourite is how big the sashimi portions are! The indoor seating is quite small so it’s best to eat-in during lunch or order takeout.“

“The restaurant service was very quick and friendly. The food here was also excellent. The sushi rolls I ordered were large and not padded with too much rice as I've seen other places too and tasted wonderful.

They had a variety of seating options too and the group I was with was seated in a nice, more quiet corner.“

“We went to ASA sushi last year at the end of the day during the Canada Day long weekend. It was a delightful surprise! We’re visiting the city, and it was definitely the freshest and most delicious sashimi I’ve ever had. Everything was well-prepared and delicious. I always say that I want to go back someday when I’m in Vancouver again.“

“love their veggie rolls. They are so friendly too.“

“chef's specials, excellent service“

“After hearing about this place, I’ve wanted to visit, and I finally had the chance to do so. The owner and staff greeted me warmly, which made me feel comfortable.

The Miso Soup wasn’t too salty, which I liked, and the dressing on the fried chicken and vegetables complemented the dish really well, making it delicious.

The Salmon Aburi melted in my mouth as soon as I took a bite. It was so tender and flavorful.

Next time, I’d like to try the CUPBOP.

A note: The sign is small, so you might miss it if you’re not paying attention. It’s a good idea to keep your eyes open and look carefully when you’re nearby.“

“Fantastic place. Excited to go again.“

“Amazing… I cannot find this fantastic Inari sushi even in Korea. I asked the staff to recommend the best menu, and he kindly assist me. There are salmon, eel, crab, tuna and many kinds of sushi. They are all the same price and it is the charming point.“

“this is a GREAT sushi spot! i’ve been in vancouver for 3 years, and this will now be my new go to sushi place. was greeted by the sweetest people and had an amazing meal. All flavours were so yummy, even the tuna roll and miso soup went above and beyond! my yakisoba was full of veggies and chicken, and the chicken pieces were full of flavour + had no chewy bits!!!

to top it all off, it was affordable and fast. 10/10“

“needed a quick bite while walking up commercial, and im so glad i stopped by! to start off, the atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly, and the music is nice! my server was soo nice! i ordered a miso soup, chopped scallop roll, negitoro maki, and then 2 pc shiitake nigiri! everything was super fresh, and some of the tastiest ive had in vancouver. the miso really stood out to me, and they give u quite a large portion!! my favourite was probably the negitoro maki :) ill be coming back next time im in the area!“

“Wow! We had a great meal here at Joon's Kitchen. We ordered a tonne of food for the table. The standouts for me are definately the Korean Tacos and the Sweet spicy/sweet soy fried chicken. These were just delicious. We also ordered Bibimbap (beef, chicken and veggie). These too were just amazing! California Roll and Unagi were also on point. Korean ribs would have better BBQ'd and were too fatty. But, that's always a risk when you order them. Overall, a great little Korean gem of a restaurant! Thanks for the wonderful food and friendly service.“

“On the high side of price range for the portion. Service is great though.
The food tastes good but not fabulous or omg level. The rolls are creative.
However I would go for the other sushi place on Hastings with long established for likely cheaper as portions would be bigger.“

“Pleasantly surprised at this accidental find when the place we were planning to go to was closed! Cozy space with tasty fresh food that was beautifully presented with good value and generous portions (had lots of leftovers). Highlights were the chicken karaage, which was super tender/moist (like Korean style) and the melt in your mouth fresh sockeye salmon sashimi. The pumpkin croquettes were perfectly crisp, but the pumpkin spice flavour was unexpected and while not unpleasant, a bit too dessert-like for my preference. Service was also outstanding... another pleasant surprise as it seems hit & miss elsewhere these days. Will definitely be back!“

“Stopped by this place in Vancouver and seems like all the bad comments are just too old now. The restaurant might have gone through changes and they're positive. The food was fresh, clean, and delicious! You can tell it was very authentic too! The owner was very nice and the vibes felt like home. Thanks for the great food 😊“

“Fantastic fresh sushi, beautifully presented and very friendly and lovely owners. We had the salmon aburi, house roll, rainbow roll and chopped scallop roll. You could taste the freshness of the fish and the quality of the ingredients. Must visit!“

“Wonderful sushi. They had Uni Nigiri at a very reasonable price. Saba Nigiri had Yuzu leaves on the top (not just green onion pieces) - that was a nice touch. Also real crab meat California Roll was very tasty. In addition, each piece of Nigiri sushi had a bit of wasabi underneath. That was excellent. I love this sushi spot. I will be returning.“

“One of the very best Japanese restaurants in the city. Reasonable prices and home style Japanese food. Worth the wait. Come early.“

“delicious a wonderful Sapporo and set happy hour oishii 😊❤️🌎“

“After visits to the Fairmont building I have historically been too lazy to walk all the way to Dragon so eat at the first sushi place but boy was I glad I made the trip last week. Portions were bigger, place was packed, line for take-out, Bento was so tasty and reasonably priced. Service was effortless. Can’t wait to try some more things.“

“Fresh, Delicious, Beautiful; friendly service. Chef’s Menu was just awesome.“

“The restaurant is cozy and the staff is nice. They offer complimentary food for us for ordering a certain amount of food. Perhaps we have kids, the owner gave my kids coke for free. I could see that he likes kids a lot lol. Would love to visit again. The food is great and we had the warmest welcome from the owner.“

“This is a real find. I had the combo where you choose any 3 items out of a huge selection
I had prawn tempura, asparagus and avo roll and a green salad. Everything was really fresh, the sushi rice still warm , the tempura so crispy and juicy. Excellent salad.
Love this place!“

“It can be so hard to find a place to dine while traveling that feels safe for the Celiac Kid AND the vegan mother. Iki worked for us! We enjoyed the veggie gyoza as our appetizer. Avocado rolls were loved by both. I had veggie tempura for the first time in years. The broccoli pieces were particularly good while the white sweet potato was a bit bland. The other veggies were good.“

“one of the best and most authentic Japanese restaurants in vancouver. highly recommend this place for their fresh fish and delicious food. the atmosphere is cozy and the service is always friendly. the owner, chef taka is truly amazing with the food he prepares. the food never disappoints whether it’s take out or dining in. my go to dish is the miso cod set meal with tuna/salmon sashimi. to end the meal, i always order the green tea ice cream. just thinking of their food makes me drool. truly a hidden gem, 11/10 recommend :)“

“Went a couple weeks ago.
Nice new affordable sushi spot.
Seating is very spacious and service was good, our tea/water was constantly refilled.
Came to about $25/pp after tax and tip with some leftover packed to-go.“

“I come to this quaint little grocery store about once a week I love how they stock fun Japanese foods for my family and I. We also like the ready made foods most of the time. The best part of this place is not only how convenient it is, but also the friendly, happy and full of knowledge staff. One lady in particular really stands out. She seems to know everything and is always friendly and considerate. (More so then the other staff) Her name is Miki, its always a pleasure seeing her. I assumed she was the shop owner because of how she carries herself, Very good job Miki, and I recommend this shop due to her kindness and the good to go tasty food. I only wish there was Kaarage to go too. Maybe one day. Thanks!“

“Amazing and so yummy!!!!!!! I want to try everything on the menu“

“I enjoyed every bites of my meal .... with considering the art and preparations its perfect and i cannot say nothing just Delicious!!!!happy tommy ......“

“Overall, the food portions were perfect, and the taste was delicious, although I have had better Korean food.
Service was excellent, and the servers were kind and friendly.
The place itself looks a bit old but clean.
Considering that there aren't many restaurants in the area, this is definitely a gem, and I'll definitely be coming back.“

“Very creative menu!! Would like to return to try other creations. Esp the sushi-hotdog?.

Quaint lil place! Friendly service.

I tried the 'sexy roll' i.e. avo, cream cheese, prawn tempura, yam flakes, blueberry sauce. Everything was fine, except I decided I personally prefer to keep sweet flavours separate from the saltier ones (yam is an exception).“

“Amazing sushi with great presentation🙂my new “best sushi in Riley Park area”....beats Dream Sushi with more authentic, better quality experience“

“I have been coming here since high school and before the fire and renovations. A true gem in Kerrisdale. Always welcoming and friendly service and high quality sashimi. One of my regular sushi spots in Vancouver and easy recommendation to others.“

“Best sushi restaurant in the Joyce collingwood area. Friendly staff and always quick with their orders!“

“If you like good sushi, at a fair price, then you’ll enjoy Sumire sushi. A great family run restaurant with friendly staff. They make their own hot sauce and it’s delicious.“

“I learned so much about caring for infants here; it's such a welcoming, warm, and safe place to hang out with your friends and talk about what really matters in life.
Oh, and the sushi is GOOD.
(I highly recommend the secret menu, that's not so secret)“
