Great food and great service! A little on the pricy side but quality of ingredients was high. All in all we had a great time.

I always love going to Yuwa - amazing service, spectacular food, presentation, and atmosphere... it's my favourite escape!

Most excellent cold sake from Fukushima. Tastiest Tempura. My wife loved the Tuna and Umi. Made her wish we lived in Vancouver. If I get back sure I will dine here again!

I was disappointed with my visit here. The sushi rice didn’t hold together at all – it fell apart every time I tried to pick it up. The environment was very noisy, which made it hard to enjoy the meal. Prices are on the high side, but the quality doesn’t match. The saba sashimi in particular tasted extremely fishy. The staff told me I needed to wait longer for sashimi, which I understood, but I don’t know why it also took so long just to get a soup. On top of that, no one refilled our water unless we specifically asked. Overall, definitely not worth the price – I won’t be coming back.

Real Japanese Gastronomy at last! I was getting discouraged about one day finding a true gastronomic japanese restaurant, and upon a family member recommendation, gave it a try. What an experience. The elements are assembled together and presented is such a way that the eyes feast before the mouth. The wine selection proposed is above average and will satisfy even the most demanding palate. I highly recommend and please book your table in advance, the place already has a strong and well deserved reputation. Enjoy!

very fresh fish and seafood

The food and service at Yuma are always perfection—salmon tartare sanshozuke with taro root chips, and grilled sablefish yuan-take are fabulous. The sake menu is also full of great taste experiences. Sitting outside in summer can be a bit noisy because of traffic but it's very pleasant to eat on a shaded patio in warm weather.

It was my birthday dinner with my friends, and it was an absolute delight! The food was excellent, and the service was impeccable. Mikiko, our server, was bright, lovely, and knowledgeable. She provided the best recommendations for food, sake, and explanations. The fresh dishes and fancy sake were amazing! I will definitely be going back for both business and personal dinners. Well done, Mikiko!

We enjoy the variety of dishes available and with four at our table we ordered many of the items on the menu. Presentation of the dishes was very inviting. We enjoyed the Japanese pickles and placed three orders as the flavours complemented our courses. The service was excellent. Noise level low so we were able to converse.

There are lots of great Japanese restaurants in Vancouver but Yuwa is probably my favorite. It has an elevated fine dining atmosphere, top quality food, and lots of interesting dishes that you don't find at a run of the mill sushi spot. The best part is that it's not that much more expensive than going to a neighborhood hole in the wall spot.
Amazing service and food. The specialty rolls were great, but arrived quite a bit later than the rest of the food.

Server forgot about the bottle of sake we ordered and we reminded a few people about the order. It finally came after we finished having the appies. The outdoor dining experience might have affected the food quality as some dishes were a bit cold when it got delivered to our table.

Eating at Yuwa was a glorious dining experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in we were warmly welcomed and attentively cared for throughout our entire visit. Our server was so sweet, very knowledgeable and had glorious recommendations.
The sushi was bursting with flavour —reflecting both the freshness and skill. The dessert had layers of depth, making every bite intriguing.
If you get the chance to come to Yuwa I wouldn’t pass it up!

The squid from Japan was almost buttery it was so tender. Very large, plump spot prawns on my nigiri. Portions of sea urchin conversely, were very small (from Japan as local uni season is over). Service (we were seated outside) was attentive but not intrusive. Nice to see children with their parents (some running next door with the mother's credit card to purchase ice cream cones).

Good reliable Japanese taste. One of my regular places to go, especially for special occasions.
