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!“

“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.“

“I recently spent a few days in Vancouver before my trip and treated myself to an exceptional dinner. The 25-course Omakase experience was truly remarkable! Each dish showcased exquisite showmanship, with the chefs preparing everything right in front of me, creating an engaging atmosphere. The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every bite, and the delicateness of each dish was a true testament to their artistry. I enjoyed every moment and am already looking forward to returning next season for a whole new menu! Highly recommend this unforgettable dining adventure!“

“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!“

“Delicious veggie sushi!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“airco inside , nice beverages“

“I tried this sushi place for the very first time with my sister and boyfriend and I must it was very good and delicious. The food was fresh and great quality the service was amazing I will definitely come back to this sushi place and it has a cute little set up as well I highly recommend this place for eat in or take out ?.“

“chef's specials, excellent service“

“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.“

“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.“

“I came to Vancouver with family as a visitor on spring break, and one thing I really wanted to do was have sushi in this city. We decided to try out Sushi Howe, as it was walking distance from my hotel. We were not disappointed! This place is located beside the Tim Hortons on Davie St, so you can’t miss it.

As an appetizer, we ordered assorted tempura and sashimi.

As a meal, I ordered 8 dragon rolls for ~$16, and I could tell the ingredients were high quality. My dad got a bento box. It included 8 pieces of sushi, teriyaki beef, 2 spring rolls, a few pieces of tempura and salad, all for $16. Every bite of it was splendid. Even the salad dressing was amazing! My mom ordered two platters of spring rolls (about 12 in total). Again, it was amazing. I liked having some, and I’m not even big on spring rolls! We got one more plate of beef teriyaki as well.

The restaurant has a beautiful, cozy atmosphere. The staff are amazing people, and we felt at home the second we walked in.

In total, we spent $82 (Including taxes) and gave a 20% tip. I think we spent less than we would have if we ate at McDonald’s or Edo. The value we got for our buck is amazing, especially considering this place is in downtown Vancouver. We came home with 3 takeout plates, that’s how much food we had!

Don’t go to Edo, go to Sushi Howe!

Thanks for making our trip memorable!“

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

“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.“

“Excellent sushi, except they pre mix mayo in the real crab. I wanted a real crab California roll, no mayo, it ruins the taste of the sweet crab, and I'm allergic to eggs. 😊

Dietary restrictions: They do have GF soy sauce and can do egg and dairy allergies“

“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 😊“

“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!“

“A cozy sushi spot nestled on a bustling street. The restaurant features comfortable booth seating and maintains a clean, welcoming environment. The seafood is fresh and of high quality. Offers an excellent value, serving delicious food at an affordable price.

Wheelchair accessibility: Located on ground level“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fantastic place. Excited to go again.“

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

“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.“

“My second time for this great, cozy Japanese restaurant! The sashimi are fresh and bigger than other restaurants I had in Vancouver. Their signature Dragon roll is as tasty as usual - creamy avocado, crispy prawn tempura and fresh fish with umami. We love it!“

“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 :)“

“This restaurant is an absolute Gem! Labeled perfectly delicious food friendly service! I didn’t have this in Japan! It’s awesome. I ordered the avocado mango salad it’s delicious! The vegetable miso soup was good the dumpling special was top notch ! I will be back for more!!! Love this place.“

“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“

“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.“

“Nice spot for takeout and a few well placed tables to dine in safely. I had the chef's special for lunch today. Teriyaki salmon with spicy tuna roll and miso soup. Yum.
Update: Grabbed some takeout last night and I think this is the best place for fresh sushi/sashimi in the neighbourhood. The best.
November 2024 update: Still the best, just had a delicious seafood salad and the sashimi was fresh and plentiful.“

“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).“

“We enjoyed a very pleasant dinner on the patio. Although it's very close to 41 Avenue, it was a nice, quiet atmosphere. The staff were really friendly.

Parking: You can probably find free street parking if you don't mind walking a block or two.“

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

“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)“

“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.“

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

“I recommend everything. No, really. They've always outdone themselves and put quality first for years. You can taste the difference. Go out and treat yourself. Best sushi in the 'hood.“

“Sushi was really fresh. Service was amazing. Felt like you were being cared for by a nice relative. I liked the green tea thermos right at the table for convenience. We had the rainbow roll, dynamite roll and assorted tempura. All were amazing. Lots of tobiko on the rainbow roll. Tempura was varied including long mushrooms which were delicious and new to me. The restaurant wasn’t super clean and needs an overhaul but lots of sushi places are like this and in terms of the tables and chairs and eating utensils all those things were clean. I would come here again!“

“Delicious sushi! The salmon oshi is one of the best salmon oshi’s I’ve ever tried. The avocado roll was also good although not my favorite. I prefer less avocado in my avocado roll and the quality of the avocado could have also been better. There were a few spots that were a bit brown. However overall everything was delicious. Definitely try the salmon oshi roll I loved it!“
