50 Best Sushi Bars in Vancouver

“We had such a wonderful experience on March 17, 2026 at Miku Japanese Restaurant at River Rock Hotel. From the moment we arrived, the service was truly top-notch—the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and made us feel genuinely cared for. What really stood out was their thoughtfulness and attentiveness. As soon as they noticed that one of our friends was wearing a veil and the rest of us had our Team Bride sashes on, they kindly arranged a private dining room for us. It made the celebration feel even more special and intimate. The ambience was also fantastic—cool, relaxing, and enhanced by a great selection of music. The warm, Japanese-style décor added a beautiful and authentic touch to the overall dining experience. We also appreciated the complimentary non-alcoholic drinks, especially since we had decided not to drink before going swimming. It was such a considerate gesture that didn’t go unnoticed. And of course, the food was amazing—every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience with exceptional service, thoughtful touches, and incredible food. Highly recommended for special occasions!“

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

“Really enjoyed our experience at Sushi Jin 10/10. The fish was so fresh and everything we had was delicious! The food came out at the perfect time too, we never felt like we were waiting around. The chef was incredible and our waitress was so lovely and attentive. Just a really great experience all around, we’ll definitely be back. For all locals and visitors of Vancouver must try!“

“Delicious veggie sushi!!!!“

“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 momo sushi while visiting vancouver and we're super impressed!! We had the tower for three. We were expecting more maki sushi and less raw but it gave us a chance to try more raw sushi. The atmosphere is very unique. I noticed the review complaing about stroller access , definatly nkt a place for a stroller or a highchair as the restaurant sinks via stairs into the ground ( we found it super fun) as for the review saying if you wanted frozen fish you would go to IGA the only way to make raw fish safe to eat is to freeze it at a certain temperature first. 🙄 i know im being a bit of a troll here but those comments were not a reflection of Momo.
This place is a very authentic , grade A sushi in a unique sitting environment. Would highly recommend!!!“

“Came here because we were in the area and wanted to pop in and I don’t regret it.
The Chef Sada and all the staff are super welcoming and sweet, if you’re looking for happy memories and authentic Japanese dishes this is the place!
Every dish was delicious and presented so beautifully. 🌟
I recommend making a reservation in advance.“

“Some of the best sushi I've ever had! Went here on a Saturday around 2pm and there was a 30min wait. They will take your number and text you when your seating is available. You have a 5 minute grace period to get there after they text you so don't stray too far!

Service is on point and the fish is fresh. The facility is super clean. Sashimi pieces we grabbed were salmon belly, hamachi, toro, and wild salmon. The wild salmon was so good I grabbed another order. You have to try the salmon jalapeno aburi haku (grabbed two orders of this). Great value and tastes amazing! The uni wasn't too fresh imo and the rolls we grabbed were pretty basic but tasty.

Closed it out with some refreshing green tea ice cream. This place is a 5 star and highly recommended. Great staff that are friendly and efficient. Price point is perfect.“

“Asa Sushi is a great spot if you're craving both Japanese and Korean cuisine. The food is consistently solid, with plenty of delicious options to choose from.

The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the girls working there were especially kind and attentive to my 8-year-old, which made our visit even more enjoyable. The restaurant has a lively, welcoming vibe and is usually busy—a good sign that it's a local favorite.

If you're looking for good food, great service, and a fun atmosphere, Asa Sushi is definitely worth a visit!“

“I came across this sushi restaurant through Google reviews and decided to give it a try while visiting Vancouver. I ordered Combo #6, and everything was amazing!! The prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes are incredibly generous. The food was absolutely delicious, and my taste buds are so happy! 😋🍣

A special shout-out to Lin, who was so lively, friendly, and welcoming. I asked for my order to be customized to make it extra spicy, and Lin got it absolutely perfect! She understood exactly what I wanted. Her hospitality and attention to detail made the experience even more special.

I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I visit Vancouver. Highly recommend this place for delicious Japanese food, generous portions, and outstanding customer service❤“

“We went back here four times during our visit because we loved their sushi so much! The owners even recognized us and were so nice to chat with us. 🙂

The sushi rolls were delicious, with just the right amount of rice, and the prices were very reasonable. We’ll definitely be coming back the next time we visit Vancouver! 🍣❤“

“Everything was perfect! The waitresses were wonderful—very friendly and attentive—and the chefs did an amazing job. The portions were huge, and everything was incredibly delicious. I honestly feel like I discovered a whole new level of sushi here. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. I’ll absolutely be coming back!“

“outstanding rolls. sashimi very fresh. great salad.“

“chef's specials, excellent service“

“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.“

“Sushi Hyun Omakase is an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment we arrived, Chef Hyun greeted us with genuine warmth, telling us that this was his dream restaurant—a space he built from the ground up to share his passion. Throughout the evening, he spoke with reverence about his ingredients, working exclusively with wild fish from Japan, and about the trust he’s built with both his customers and suppliers. Each dish was crafted with precision and care, and his storytelling made every bite even more meaningful. The wine list is equally impressive, thoughtfully curated to complement the menu. Chef Hyun’s dedication shines through in every detail, making this not just a meal but a deeply personal experience. I would return in a heartbeat and recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who values exceptional food and genuine hospitality.“

“Went there with my wife and was pleasantly surprised by how cool the aesthetic of the place is. It feels like they've recreated the vibe of Japan in the 80s and 90s, with a retro, old-school Japanese atmosphere that makes the experience feel really unique.

Such a cool spot to grab a couple of beers and enjoy some Japanese food. In my case, I went for the tonkatsu set with rice, salad, and miso soup. The sushi was a little on the pricey side for me, so I decided to go with the tonkatsu instead and I wasn't disappointed!

Definitely worth checking out for the atmosphere alone. A great spot for a casual date night or a couple of drinks with some good food.“

“Absolutely wonderful sushi. The service, too, was excellent…not to mention the presentation. It’s a small place in East Vancouver, but worth the journey we made from deep in West Vancouver. If you’re not highly knowledgeable about all things sushi I suggest looking up the menu before you go. Familiarize yourself with it, and what you might order. The sashimi portions were on point. Tunas, of all cuts, were fresh and of the best quality. I only wish they had sockeye, otherwise I was 5 star satisfied.“

“I’ve been to quite a few sushi restaurants in Vancouver, and this was definitely one of the freshest and most delicious ones I’ve tried!

I ordered ramen and a sushi roll, and both were amazing. The ramen had a great variety of vegetables, which made it really flavorful and satisfying. And the sushi roll was incredibly fresh, generous in size, and absolutely delicious!

I left feeling so full and happy. If you’re looking for a great sushi restaurant in Vancouver, I highly recommend giving this place a try!

The restaurant was also very clean, and I loved the beautiful interior. Overall, I had such a great experience and I’ll definitely be coming back again 😆😆“

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

“Fantastic place. Excited to go again.“

“I wasn't sure about getting sushi on a wet, windy day but their unique inarizushi and small cup of miso hit the spot. Especially like the charred salmon and scallops. 3-4 are enough for most people. Sit at the counter or outside patio tables. I'll be back.“

“Had an extraordinary lunch here. Most of the fish is flown in from Japan, with some exceptions made for local delicacies such as the spot prawn with caviar nigiri (an absolute standout, in my opinion). Service was seamless and efficient but also very personal. The flavours and presentation were so thoughtly pieced together, and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant (layout, lighting, and smells!) was immaculate. I can't wait to come back for dinner, which I hear is a little more theatrical--in a good way, of course!

Lunch: 15 pieces, $180“

“This is one of the absolute best sushi spots in all of Vancouver. They’ll make your sushi right in front of you, as you order, or if you’re in a rush they have premade rolls fresh made that same day. I’m a huge food snob and this is as good as it gets for fresh, high level sushi. I try to eat here at least once every time I’m in the city, 10/10 recommend, no notes.“

“I was in town for a concert and looking for a place to eat before the show. So glad that I ended up going here. They were able to accommodate a group of four, food came ultra fast, and the server was fantastic. Food was very tasty - definitely get the salmon oshi. Prices are reasonable for the food you get.

I'll be coming here again for any future visits!“

“Went here on a weeknight a couple weeks ago mostly to get some shots of the place, and the lighting over the sushi bar was actually perfect for photos without being so bright it killed the mood. Ended up ordering the dragon roll and a plate of torched salmon nigiri, and both looked almost too good to eat, though I obviously ate them anyway. The chef working the counter noticed my camera and happily turned a piece just so I could get a cleaner angle, which was a nice touch. Service was quick, the place wasn't packed around 7pm, and parking in the little lot behind the building made the whole visit easy.“

“I have Celiac and without even asking they immediately check if a gluten-free menu is needed which was beautiful and glorious. The food was visually stunning but also so delicious. Genuinely some of the best sushi I have ever experienced. I was blown away by the Sakura Roll in particular. It was genuinely so divine and I think completely vegetarian if i remember correctly which also blew me away because generally I love the fish ones. My friend even liked it and it had mushrooms in it which they despise but still ate!! Truly mwah chef's kiss, 1 million points to the chef. I was also surprised to see they have a gf vegetarian ramen! I have never gotten to experience that and it wasn't my favourite but I could still tell it was made with love and was quite delicious regardless. I also had the Kyoto Roll which was my second favourite because im a d1 freak for mango, the Konnichiwa roll which was good! I ordered far too much for one person to consume to experience it and I'm still eating my choices with a flight at 3:15pm later. Our waiter was soso sweet and adorable and had a conversation with us because I complimented their piercings and they told us about how they just moved there and would love recommendations on where to get pierced as they saw my face of piercings and I was like haha, I've been here twice. But I hope they find the piercer of their dreams thats as sweet and kind as my local piercer“

“Amazing at all levels. Food was 10/10, service was exceptional, the atmosphere was of a divine, extraordinary place. Best restaurant in the entirety in Vancouver; would reference to every single person who asks me for a recommendation, or not. Everyone should try this once in their life“

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

“I grab lunch here often and it’s always excellent. Delicious, fresh sushi with generous portions (rolls are absolutely loaded with fish), but I also highly recommend the banh mi.

The owner is sooo friendly and kind; my only complaint is service can be on the slower end sometimes as it’s a one-person show, but easily worth it for the quality food. Local must-try!“

“First time eating here, we walked in and got a table right away. Service was fast and food was amazing. Tried the sushi pizza with my 10 year old along with three of the tofu pockets and they were all a hit! My daughters first time having scallops as well as raw sushi and she often has food texture challenges. I would have given service a 5 as well had they not forgotten to bring us the extra ginger that we asked for (the restaurant wasn't busy at the time). This is 15 min from our place by car. Would travel to eat here in the future.“

“Grabbed dinner here on a Tuesday night with a couple friends and the omakase was honestly worth every penny, especially the seared toro. Place was way less packed than on weekends so we actually got to chat with the chef at the sushi bar for a bit, which was a nice touch. Service was quick without feeling rushed, and they were happy to swap in extra wasabi and ginger when we asked. We're already talking about going back this weekend and bringing a bigger group.“

“Great sushi and we were not expecting it to be this good since it is a small place in the train station. We have picky kids and they even said it was the best sushi they have had in Vancouver. The man working the restaurant was super kind and talented. Worth the wait- highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

“Great spot to enjoy both Korean and Japanese food in one place! The absolute highlight was the Tuna Kimbap unlike typical tuna kimbap made with canned tuna, this one uses fresh raw tuna with crab meat and sesame oil. It was super unique and delicious! The Lunch Sashimi Bento was very neat and fresh as well. Staff were super friendly too. Highly recommended!“

“I was taken here for dinner with no context, and my mind was blown. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed and greeted by the owner. He was kind, welcoming, and in clear concert with his staff. Every new dish came with a clean plate, and every dish was better than the last. I’ve been around the world twice, and talked to everyone once, but there are flavors I had here that altered my brain chemistry in the best way possible. I recommend the black cod wings, chimichurri yellowtail, and the albacore. Then again, you can’t go wrong here. I leave this restaurant with an appreciation greater than I thought possible. Special thanks to Takeshi and all of the people that made our night special. Until I’m back to me next time, this meal will live rent free in my head.“

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

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

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

“Dami Sushi & Korean Restaurant is definitely a hidden gem! The food is always fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. They offer a great variety of Korean and Japanese dishes, with generous portions and excellent quality.

The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. You can really feel the care and passion that goes into both the food and customer service. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, making it a great place to visit with family and friends.

Great food, amazing service, and wonderful people. Definitely a place worth visiting! Highly recommend and will absolutely be coming back!“

“I am a regular here and I happen to love this place. It is super close to my school where I go for almost every week for lunch. The service is amazing, but sometimes I find it really hard to get a table and it is very packed but the food is cheap and amazing and is not take long to come out.“

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

“I havent been to too many sushi places in the city but its easy to say this is currently my favorite! Friendly service, incredible food quality, and a really good late night deal. The bento box b is fantastic and ive loved everything else ive tried on the menu. Definitely recommend!“

“Food was fantastic, great portions and excellent quality, one of the best sushi in Vancouver. The service was outstanding, the manager went above and beyond to make sure we have everything we need, made recommendations on the menu and she was very attentive.
We love this place!!“

“Hands down one of the awesome sushi spots in Vancouver! The service was super. Our server was attentive, perfectly timed, and so welcoming. Every speciaI roll, including the Pikachu and West Coast rolls, along with the Grilled Ika, was fresh, delicious, and generously portioned at a very reasonable price. We had an incredible dining experience and will 100% be back.“

“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.“

“A dedicated gluten-free Japanese restaurant?? Makes a grown man cry 🥹❤️ 100% recommend to all celiacs, but they have the worst hours. Always check before heading out because they a most likely closed already 😒“

“an edible NFT you've got to be hete“
