Such a great sushi spot! The fish was incredibly fresh and each roll was packed with flavor. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxed but lively. Dairy-free guests should flag it with their server in advance — they’re happy to help guide you through safe options.

Very troubling experience here. Visited as the last stop in our Vancouver stay. Ordered the spicy tuna sashimi and piecewise nigiri. TL;DR labels albacore as tuna which while technically correct is very uncommon and confusing.
The prices seemed very enticing and what drew us in, however, should have probably thought harder on things being too good to be true.
Our tuna sashimi came out covered in a globby gochujang sauce. Grabbed a piece of fish and immediately noticed a weird texture which turned out to be almost paste like upon eating it.
We mentioned this as an issue but the chef reviewed and insisted it was correct. We could not get past this and ended up cancelling this order which at least they did without much concern.
We then got our nigiri. Sloppy thick cheap sushi cuts which is fine as long as it's fresh and tasty. I ordered tuna and hamachi and my partner ordered salmon and tuna. The first plate they brought out was all white fish and salmon. We were confused as we guessed this to be the hamachi until they brought out another plate with all white fish as well.
At this point I am somewhat concerned because I have heard fringe stories of escolar/walu being sold labeled as tuna and this fish can cause stomach issues which I am particularly sensitive too.
I ended up asking the staff to confirm what the fish actually was. I saw the waitress talk the chef then somewhat looked frustrated and performed some Google search before returning and telling me it was bluefin tuna which I knew was not correct. I left the last piece until a different staff member came to collect the bill and asked me if there were any problems to which I replied yes, I am not eating this fish because I don't know what it is and I was given and answer I know was not correct. This waitress went back and we waited until the original waitress came back after checking with the manager (via phone call) and informed me it was albacore which likely explained all our confusion.
Through the process I do think there was language/communication barriers from the staff which I do not fault at and tried to be patient with. My issue here was I do not like being given incorrect answers and such uncertainty when it comes to eating raw fish. I also think labeling albacore directly as tuna is very misleading and definitely not what most people would be expecting.

Great sushi place, huge selection of rolls and other stuff. The place itself is pretty small with some seating outside. Lunch boxes are big with soup and starter selection. Great value for money. All the food was delicious and fresh.

The quality has gotten worse over time. Especially in delivery. But even in-house now. The service is also lackluster.

Opposite the reputation, we found sushi rolls not fresh. Very chewy. Also, not clean. I tipped it out of courtesy but I won't go back.

I came here to try some sushi after seeing the reviews and photos on Google. The place itself looked nice and cozy, so I decided to give it a try.
I ordered the Paradise Roll. It tasted good, but the portion was surprisingly small for the price – I honestly expected something more generous based on the photos in the menu.
The biggest disappointment was the plate: it had two chips on the edge. I found it very strange that a restaurant would serve food to customers on broken dishes. It didn’t feel right and definitely spoiled the impression.
Overall, the roll itself was tasty, but the portion size and the broken plate really took away from the experience.
About the food: prices are high compared to other highly recommended sushi restaurants, especially for portion size. Wild Salmon Sashimi around 1/3rd of the volume that you get at other places. Most rolls have less filling than expected/standard. Unagi Roll was smothered in bbq sauce which took away flavours. Ordered veg tempura and waited 30+ minutes for it, and it arrived not crispy and light like it should be, but with a soft and thick/greasy batter like the batter on a McDonald's fish sandwich. Lastly, the pieces of batteted yam that came with the veg tempura plate were undercooked and hard, as if it were a raw carrot.
Overall a very disappointing experience. Will not be coming back, especially with cheaper & better options nearby.

Visited Vancouver with my husband and 3 kids and this is the incredible, fresh and yummy sushi we were looking for! Surprisingly no wait to be seated, and reasonably priced. The unique rolls had a designer flair to them. Fast service, and the ambiance was top notch! Loved how the rolls were presented and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommended.
