Tojo-san's vision comes through in his food, his restaurant and kitchen design. The restaurant still looks modern after these many years. There's frying ( tempura dishes ) going on but your nose wouldn't know it. Tojo-san is obviously of Japanese descent but considers himself Canadian fully ( perhaps some day he will use Alberta Beef LOL ). He is truly a food ambassador. Although his sushi is excellent I'll eat anything he braises, fries, simmers, smokes or steams. Even his dessert nicely rounds out the meal. The price point of the omakase means special occasion only for me.

An outstanding, intimate curated lunch - like sitting in Chef's kitchen and casually chatting with him while he plays with different tastes. The sublety and freshness of flavour and texture was amazing. And the Sake! Wow!

Vegetarian options: The best sushi, and huge made to order vegetarian options - 5 ⭐️
It's hard to find a better restaurant, let alone food in this part of the world. Tojo's is an institution and has been a part of MANY personal & business get togethers. Hosting friends and clients from out of town and having them experience Tojo's is one of Vancouvers many pleasures. ANYTHING on the menu will be better than expected, guaranteed.
You're not coming to this place if you're going to care about the price so expensive is a given. Although for the quality, a lot of the menu isn’t as expensive as you’d think.This is the best sushi I've had in vancouver so far though by a good margin. Miku which is your standard fancy sushi place is far below this and just a bit cheaper.The bluefin tuna and local tuna are amazing. Salmon is quite good too. Rolls and karaage weren't amazing but were good (some rolls better than others of course).Definitely coming back, even if I can only afford to order 6 pieces of sashimi or something. :P

I’m happy with 90% of the food but the special roll was disappointing. I understand it was first made by chef tojo but it was under whelming for $98. Other wise amazing service, Sashimi and nigiri.

Tojo’s didn’t disappoint!! I had never been before and now as a vegan they had some delicious options. Not many, but enough that I enjoyed a good meal.The lighting is bright, so it’s more of a lively environment than a “date spot” but I would definitely return.Service was outstanding!Vegetarian options: Their gomaae was delicious, as was the rainbow roll.
“If you haven't tried Tojo's, you haven't tried sushi.” The man invented most of the maki rolls we eat in North America. He is a true artist and wonderful person. His staff are trained to provide patrons with a beautiful and memorable dining experience. He hand picks the finest ingredients and personally prepares the dishes with the highest level of skill possible. If there is one restaurant in Vancouver you ever visit, this is the place.

It was an amazing experience. All fresh and local! Absolutely beautiful! Worth every penny. This is not your ordinary sushi place. This a high end Japanese restaurant. And Tojo is there performing his magic! Highly recommended!!!
The sushi bar experience here, quite honestly and demonstrably, is like no other. By far, without comparison, the top sushi experience in Canada, using any metric of comparison. Beautifully and deliciously done!
Absolutely amazing. Every single dish was mind blowing! Everything was five star, I just wish it was a little less expensive so I could afford to dine here more often! Living in Hawaii, we have amazing fish but there's nothing like this west coast experience! Room is super cool, and everyone is so professional and accommodating! Highly recommended????✔️ w

I’ve been coming for years. Clean crisp no weird sauces. Just delicious fresh fish and sake. Tojo has set the bar high for sushi. Quiet and calm place. Broadway is torn up right now and parking difficult but let’s support him!
