Well-established and great reputation, haven’t been to Tetsu for 10+ years but came back for our anniversary, and the food still slaps.
What I really appreciate is the constant innovation by Chef Satoshi. Many new flavour combos that read as intelligent and refined, utilizing simple but high quality ingredients. Standouts were the ebi dashi miso soup (I could breathe in the aroma allllll day), abalone with abalone liver sauce (I could bathe in that sauce), and the squid nigiri (SO tendy and soft and fresh). Loved the brûléed top of the finishing tamago, and the dessert! It was mostly milky tasting with a hint of coffee, so subtle yet brilliant. I was too full by this point but I still ate it all 😇
Service is always top notch, it’s Japanese omakase. The little Godzilla figures were also super cute and we took them home. If you’re looking for something special and you love inventive omakase, come here. Very few seats available so book in advance.

I love the amberjack and chutoro here. Uni was a little small. Strawberry daifuku was good. Not into the smoked oyster and udon. Will come back as a treat :)

Very good omakashe, but unfortunantely the restaurant is very small and the interior feels a little underwhelming
Food was great and fresh, staff were polite and attentive. Atmosphere was a 3 because the resto is too small and can only accommodate 5 couples. Also when it's winter you tend to wear layers or have umbrella it was awkward when we were leaving when everyone was just watching you get your coats, shopping bags, and umbrella. Weird people nowadays.

Excellent experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Omakase was delicious, and tasting menu was well thought and paced perfectly. Excellent sake list too. Service was fantastic and staff was really nice and attentive.

A hidden gem in Vancouver for sure. I enjoyed the fish very much as they were all very fresh. I liked the toro dishes especially because the fattiness was perfect— they just melted in my mouth. The starter was a bit on the saltier side but the nigiris were a bit flavourless… I liked the aged eel as well; it is pretty unique for omakase. The white coffee cake was light and not too sweet. The service was amazing (server refilled ginger and pickled apple).

Fantastic experience at Tetsu Sushi Bar. Very unique and family-like atmosphere. We didn't have time for an omakase menu so we opt in for the ala carte menu. Chief Satoshi Makise made each piece an unforgettable experience! I believe he will get his Michelin star soon!
