50 Best Sushi Bars in Vancouver

“值得推荐的日餐，意犹未尽 ！“

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

“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!“

“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!!!“

“From the moment you walk into this restaurant, you can feel the heart and soul behind it. It’s not just a place to eat sushi — it’s a reflection of a life’s work. The owner, who is also the sushi chef, has poured himself into every detail: from the way each roll is prepared to the way the restaurant is decorated. You can tell that everything here has meaning.

The atmosphere is calm, welcoming, and deeply personal. Every piece of decor feels like a story — a timeline of the chef’s passion and dedication to his craft. You can sense that this isn’t just a restaurant, it’s his art studio, his life, and his heart on display.

And then there’s the sushi — absolutely incredible. The fish is fresh, the rice perfectly seasoned, and the presentation thoughtful in a way that makes you pause before taking a bite. Each plate feels handcrafted, not just made.

What truly makes this place special, though, is the feeling. The service is warm and genuine, the chef takes pride in connecting with guests, and by the end of your meal, you feel like you’ve been invited into his world. It’s the kind of place that puts a smile on your face and makes you wish you could stay longer — not just because the food is amazing, but because of the people behind it.

This isn’t just sushi; it’s a story, an experience, and a reminder of what passion looks like when it’s shared. I left inspired, grateful — and already planning my next visit.“

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

“Amazing experience. The "show" is truly magical. To see each person working independently, yet supporting one another in a calm, effecient manner was inspiring. The food was fabulous and ambiance was lovely. The hostesses were so nice and professional. Every single course was well explained, so you knew exactly what you were about to try.“

“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 :)“

“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!“

“airco inside , nice beverages“

“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.“

“WOW, i cannot believe this spot i just discovered. The sushi was so fresh. The fish ball soup was so comforting. The best of the meal is the CREAMY UDON. I can literally have two of it for myself. Aaa unfortunately i haven’t tried their alcohol menu yet. Overall, i love this place.🫰🏻🫰🏻☺️☺️“

“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.“

“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!“

“chef's specials, excellent service“

“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“

“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.“

“Great sushi, very flavorful, fresh seafood, and lots of variety from traditional temaki to modern aburi styles. Single sushi chef so larger orders may take longer but the wait is worth it. Spicy sauce is on the sweeter side so can be enjoyed by all ages.“

“Such a positive experience! We were traveling with a 6 month old who was very fussy this day. The staff were so kind and reassuring, even trying to cheer him up. Our food was delicious - so so fresh, and the prices you cannot beat for this level of high quality sushi.“

“There’s a new Korean-Japanese restaurant on Davie Street with a simple and focused menu. They prepare their sushi and inari fresh in the kitchen, sticking to straightforward options like salmon, shrimp, beef, crab, and egg. The idea is easy but the execution is clean, and their packaging and design really make them stand out. One thing I like is how they handle inventory. From 8 pm to 10 pm they discount whatever is left by 20% and reset everything the next day. It’s efficient and gives customers a good deal late in the evening. Overall I enjoy their concept and think they bring healthy competition to Davie Street, especially for places like Sushi Society.“

“Fantastic place. Excited to go again.“

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

“Amazing food, great atmosphere

I had a corporate order for the office presentation and had to come back for own lunch. The owner comes over to check on your experience, which is great. Very friendly and highly recommend!!“

“Joon’s Kitchen is a hidden gem! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish we tried had that perfect balance of taste and presentation, showing real care and passion in the cooking.

On top of the great food, the service was warm, attentive, and genuine. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, and their hospitality added so much to the experience.

Whether you’re stopping by for a casual meal or a special gathering, Joon’s Kitchen is the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again. Highly recommended!“

“We got the teriyaki boxes, and everything was amazing! The chicken was tender and flavorful on a fresh bed of lettuce and bean sprouts, with crispy spring rolls, a citrusy salad, flaky tempura, a delicious roll (we had Dynamite and California), and warm miso soup. Everything was fresh, tasty, and made with care. Great service too! Definitely a new favorite on Renfrew!“

“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.“

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

“I come all the time for the vietnamese coffee! The lady is so friendly and nice and service is always fast. Food is also delicious. I reccommend the tofu banh mi and the vegetarian sushi, but everything we’ve tried has been incredible. One of my favorite spots in Point Grey!“

“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!“

“Sushi dragon is one of the last laid back, comfy fast affordable and GOOD sushi spots in van. I find usually I have to go to fancier places these days to get a good roll, however sushi dragon feels like old Vancouver sushi spots are still alive! They are a local family watering whole in the city and the quality is just as good as it was 5 years ago.“

“This is a very standard sushi place with limited seating, maybe enough for around fifteen people. The staff were friendly and the food was okay. We were driving from Richmond to downtown and were really hungry, so we decided to stop here. My cousin had just helped me with my move and I wanted to thank him by paying for lunch. The sushi itself wasn’t anything special and the bill felt high for what we got, but the moment was still memorable because of the day we were having.“

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

“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.“

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

“Great sushi! the price is reasonable and the portions are big. I enjoy the unagi roll and sashimi and the favorite of my family is yaki udon.The waitresses always remember that my daughter likes tempura sauce for her sashimi and brings it without us asking for it.“

“We have lived in this area for 25yrs and never tried out Dami....don't know why. Maybe because nobody we know recommends it here. Glad we came out on a Saturday for lunch on a rainy day because my eldest daughter was craving for Korean seafood pancake.

The seafood pancake is thick and looks like pizza hut pizza! If you like crunchy and fluffy dough then this is good. The best value for your money is the chicken katsu and chicken don rice bowls. Very tasty and lots of chicken!

The sushi rolls are priced well too. Mow we have an extra place to go for food near by. Convenience is nice when going out with 6 ppl. Very spacious inside and they play Japanese music.

Our meal for 6 of us only came to $79 + tip!? And we had take out....I spend that much sometimes having lunch meetings fir 2 ppl. We will be back!“

“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!“

“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)“

“The best rainbow roll in town. It is their sushi rice that really makes a difference. It is a tiny little place, but the service is always good, and their food is top notch. In my book, this is the most authentic and best Japanese restaurant that I have been to. Thank you, Hitoe, for my weekly delicious rainbow roll!“

“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.“

“Domo sushi is a great place to grab lunch if you're in the area. The food tastes great and the price point is friendly. The interior is a bit old and small but clean. Due to the popularity of the place, the wait can be very long (if you're dining in or ordering take out). The second time I went, I dined in with a friend and it took about 20-30 mins for one bento and a couple of rolls. However, if you place your order in advance, you will prob just wait for an additional 5-10 min. Still worth it to try.“

“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.“

“We love the taste of california roll and very cozy place with friendly people🥰“

“Absolutely fabulous! We ordered two veggie Bento boxes and a side of edamame everything was great! Some of the best Japanese food I've ever had and such a surprise in the Amtrack station would definitely consider booking another train ride just to eat there!“

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

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