12 Best Japanese Restaurants in West Vancouver

“Awesome customized service options 🙌“

“We had a great first experience at Tenton today for dinner! We went in near 8pm closing time, but the staff were still extremely accommodating and we did not feel any rush whatsoever.
ordered the Regular Ramen with karaage. The broth was flavorful but light and refreshing, while there were many other toppings. I do wish the fried chicken was served separately, however. It quickly got soggy.
The restaurant is decorated pleasantly, with special seasonal decor for Halloween.
Service wise, the staff mainly stayed in the kitchen, but our wishes were to quickly and efficiently, especially considering we had a party of 10.

Vegetarian options: The veggie ramen and cold soba are both great vegetarian friendly options ?

Parking: There is plenty of street parking just around a minutes walk from the restaurant. ?

Kid-friendliness: The kids menu, $12 for a small entree with side and dessert, is a great deal. ?“

“The sashimi was good, fresh enough but the curry was very different from the traditional Japanese style. They have melted cheese inside making it more a fusion like that is popular in Korea or Taiwan. But personally I still prefer the old traditional way of cooking.“

“Nice restaurant with very friendly staff.

As a vegetarian, the options are limited to vegetarian sushi and some appetizers. The noodles with vegetables is ok too.

The udan vegetarian soup has fish powder in it and the teriyaki souce has beef stock.

Despite limited vegetarian options, we had a good time in this restaurant 😋

Vegetarian options: Very limited but tasty.“

“Found a nice Japanese restaurant that has good fo
od and nice service. The chairs were a little bit wobbly. I had the Asari Miso soup 🍲, Nigiri Tobiko, Sunset Roll and the Salmon box .when I wanted more Tobiko they brang it out really fast. Super friendly servers.

I will visit here again for sure!

“I come to this restaurant quite often because it’s one of my absolute favorites in West Vancouver. I usually go for the K-chicken, tteokbokki, seafood pancake—honestly, there are just so many dishes I love here!

Yesterday, I happened to be passing by and noticed a new promotion sign outside, so I decided to try their new lunch box as takeout and brought it to the beach. Oh wow—it was amazing! Generous portions, delicious flavors, and a really reasonable price.

I actually stopped by again today to try the cold noodles, (the server yesterday strongly recommended this) and they were super refreshing. The balance with the kimchi was perfect—I love kimchi, so I really enjoyed it.

The service here is always wonderful, and I appreciate the great music too. Sometimes I feel a bit sad that it doesn’t look super busy, but I truly hope this place continues serving the West Van community—people like me who really appreciate it.

Thanks to all the staff for the great food and warm service!“

“If you're curious about real Cantonese cooking, skip the General Tso’s chicken and chow mein and try Loong’s.
My mother-in-law is one of the best cooks I’ve ever known. Every Sunday, she would spend six to eight hours preparing a feast of our favorite Cantonese dishes—no recipes, just decades of experience and a deep love for feeding others.
Loong’s is the closest I’ve ever come to that kind of cooking in a restaurant. The food is expertly prepared, deeply authentic, and absolutely delicious. Every dish was perfectly seasoned, spiced, and cooked with obvious skill. Don’t be intimidated by the menu. We had pork belly soup (best broth, chewy pork), beef brisket noodles, stir fried veggies, sweet and sour pork and milk custard for dessert (try it hot). All were wonderful!
Don’t come here expecting trendy décor, cocktails, or flashy service. This is about the food—nothing more, nothing less. It’s a father-and-son team running the place, and while the service is simple and efficient, come for the food. Or you could try takeout.
The restaurant itself might not wow you at first glance. But give it a chance, and you’ll feel like you are in a favourite neighbourhood spot in Guangdong—only it happens to be in West Vancouver.“

“Update 6.25.2025 — ordered sun rise roll and ikura this time around. (Spicy scallops roll) recommended!

Parking: Caulfield Village“

“I love this restaurant since they were in North Vancouver. Now in West Vancouver is more convenient for us, we usually go together as a family. Let me recommend the dishes that we have tried: Beef teriyaki bowl ( by far the best that we have tasted in Vancouver), Spicy Don, Aburi sushi, and most of the maki’s sushi. The service is so friendly, the atmosphere is great and the new restaurant building is so fancy. Regarding pricing is fair enough for the quality of the food.“
