Came here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, and we were absolutely blown away with this place! Our server was very knowledgable and helpful. The order and speed in which our food came out was deliberate and showed us how much they care!

A welcoming Japanese izakaya with lots of fun fusion dishes. You can tell much thought went into the flavour and presentation of each dish. Service was attentive but not overly in your space at the same time. The retro decor was also so fun. Prepare yourself for a great experience!!!!

Service was great. Food was okay only. Too Similar to the other sister restaurants and nothing special. Pricier which is standard for izakayas

Had an amazing experience at Toyokan! The overall atmosphere was fantastic. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the service felt truly top-notch. The food was also excellent; every single dish was delicious and full of authentic flavor. The decor has a nostalgic, traditional Japanese feel, with beautifully crafted details that make you feel like you've stepped right into Japan. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and a wonderful dining experience!

We need more this type of authentic Japanese restaurant in town. The vibe, the food and the selection are great!

One of the best Japanese restaurants I've been outside of Japan. Food is amazing and service is excellent. Its our favorite place to go.
Toyokan bowl sashimi rice. Good for IG post. Notice most guests are Southeast Asia people, many speak Mandarin. Some Cantonese also.
For someone who long time no visit Japan, this restaurant can help remember the feeling a little bit.
From door to table to toilet, all follow same theme. Can see they put effort into decoration.
come here is not bad option instead of visiting Japan. The atmosphere part they do quite well actually.

Service was amazing - our server was so patient with us while we figured out what we wanted and asked her all the questions to clarify a few things about the menu. This restaurant is expensive but you pay for what you get. The highlights were - Turkey and bluefin toro and Hokkaido uni. Their grand ocean and land treasure box was okay. They only have 10 servings of those in a day (5 for lunch, 5 for dinner) so my friends were excited to try it but it didnt quite live up to the expectation. Overall the uni was fresh and creamy and the tuna was buttery. Highly recommend.

Do not get confused with Plaza Toyokan, it’s two different places. The entrance for this one is on the left and this is located upstairs of the Plaza Toyokan. We have no complaints— we walked in (group of 13 people with kids) and were seated right away and was provided with all the boosters that we needed. The food was AMAZING and you can taste its freshness. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. However, the highlight was when our waitress brought the desert for one our friends’ birthday— they enthusiastically sang happy birthday and turned off the lights so the focus was on her, the desert was free and tastes so good. They also brought our drinks from the cafe across the street and kept them in the fridge and they handed it back to us when we were done. Oh and they also provided the kids with their own special kid-friendly cup, which was so cute. This restaurant has now been added to one of the places I’d go back to when I visit Vancouver!

We went here for dinner and were seated immediately on a Sunday. The server explained the menu and ingredients in detail. We ordered the Ika Yuzu as our appetizer, the Bluefin Otoro & Hokkaido Uni box, and the Miyazaki A5 Wagyu box, all of which we shared. Otoro and Uni tasted so fresh. The wagyu was very tender to chew. Had a full dinner with friendly service. We definitely will return to try other dishes on their menu!
