11 Best Japanese Restaurants in West Vancouver

“Awesome customized service options 🙌“

“5/5 stars!! Food was great, we got the Raku set, spicy tuna combo, and chicken karaage. The waiter was super friendly and gave us an extra miso soup on the house. When we were leaving, he noticed us carrying a big bouquet of flowers and asked if it was a special occasion, then gave us a yuzu cheesecake to take home!“

“I stumbled upon this place on Google Maps and was so glad I did! The food was absolutely delicious. I went with the ramen combo featuring katsu, and I also tried the spicy miso ramen with chicken katsu. It was fantastic! The broth was incredibly tasty. The service was excellent. I’d definitely return. I was hoping for a bit more or thicker chasu pork, but overall, it was perfect.“

“This is probably the single most visited restaurant in West Van for me. In terms of food, it's authentic, comforting, and well-presented for the most part. Would definitely recommend trying their specialty rolls; they're unique, well-made, and worth the price. The price is friendly for the most part, although there are restaurants in West Van that serve a similar quality of food for a few dollars cheaper. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant is great, as the restaurant is heavily Japanese-themed, with unique dining rooms, paintings, and curtains.“

“I’ve been coming to Ssal Korean Bistro for lunch for years and it’s honestly such a hidden gem in West Van for hearty, comforting Korean food. Their doenjang jjigae (soybean paste soup) is one of my absolute favorites — rich, flavorful, and made with really fresh ingredients.

The staff are always incredibly sweet and attentive, which makes the experience even better every time I visit. I also highly recommend the bossam (pork belly) and the soft tofu soup — both are delicious and consistently well made.

You can really tell they care about the quality of their food. Definitely one of my go-to Korean spots and a place I always recommend to friends.“

“Really delicious, solid sushi at reasonable prices. My wife and I make the drive from North Van often and the service is always really attentive, the ingredients are fresh and we never have to wait long. Highly recommend if you are looking for a new go-to sushi spot!“

“I ordered the Mega Tray A and salmon sashimi. Two adults and three kids ate until we were completely full.

The reason I love this place is that the taste is always consistent and the ingredients are always fresh. I haven’t tried every sushi restaurant in Vancouver, but in West Vancouver, I think Mega Sushi is the best.

The food tastes truly high-quality and suits my palate perfectly. I’ve never had a disappointing experience here. Even if you don’t live nearby, I highly recommend stopping by for a meal when you’re on your way to catch the Horseshoe Bay ferry!“

“I am deeply conflicted writing this review because the food at Loong’s is an absolute S-tier culinary experience that I secretly want to keep to myself.
Run by a resilient father-and-son duo, this West Vancouver hidden gem started a year ago with handwritten cardboard menus and Home Depot chairs that still had price tags on them.
Revisiting a year later, the charming, no-frills setup remains exactly the same, but the dining room is now completely packed with guests.

The food quality is phenomenal, and watching this family successfully build their dream out of a scrappy beginning makes it an unforgettable, must-visit spot.“

“Good fish tacos and old fashion s 100% recommended“

“best in the north shore, got to try the Black Pear Roll“

“Polite, attentive staff and a relaxing atmosphere, I ordered Salmon aburi, it was fantastic, so yummy 😋, and shrimp sticks it was good too, my friends ordered different types of sushi and all loved it too. I definitely recommend it.“
