12 Best Japanese Restaurants in West Vancouver

“Absolutely great Japanese restaurant! We’ve been going there for about 30 years and it NEVER is less than exceptional.“

“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. ?“

“We tried this beautifully designed and renovated Resturant in the downtown of West vancouver this weekend. Nice decoration and simple design of the restaurant made it very comfortable, especially the beautiful and comfortable white leather seats.
Food menus had plenty of options. We ordered a couple of launch boxes as well as sushi rules and starters. Food were all great, fresh and tasty . The portion was generous and the prices were reasonable and very competitive.
The service was so fast and great. In less than 1 minute we seated, our server brought us tea and water and handed out the menu. Food also served in less than 10 mins.
We had a great experience here and would like to recommend it to everyone.“

“Loved the setting, loved the speed of service, loved the food, they were good with our kids, and I especially appreciated the reasonable pricing given the high quality of the meal.

Kid-friendliness: High chairs and children's place settings were available. No dedicated kids menu but plenty of kid friendly food options“

“I got the fried unagi dup-bap lunch special along with their soy garlic korean fried chicken to share with my party. The fried unagi comes with a soy sauce based sauce, which you can ration at your own discretion, a salad, and miso soup. I found the unagi to be well seasoned and cooked, while the breading was nice and crispy. The salad and miso soup were acceptable. Their fried chicken was evenly coated in their soy garlic sauce, the breading was crispy, and the chicken was very tender. I do believe the highlight of this restaurant was the service and atmosphere, however. The walls were decorated with things such as what somaek and chimaek were, which I found to be a nice touch, and the tables were all very separated, which I also appreciated, as its often a rarity to have so much space between tables nowadays. As for the service, it definitely exceeded my expectations and was probably the best service I've ever received. The person serving our table (I wasn't able to grab the name, sorry!) went above and beyond for us. Even though we were the only table being served, I feel like it would've been just as easy for her to mostly ignore us, or not give us the service she did. This was the only time I've felt like giving a 15% tip would not be doing justice to the quality of the service received. All of that is to say, I highly recommend you give this restaurant a try.“

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

“Delicious miso soup and vegetarian rolls! The Bento boxes are a very decent price for the amount of food provided. Also very cute and cozy inside, and our waitress was lovely ? This place is a short drive from the Cypress waterfall, so it was a much needed feast after hiking!“

“Fantastic Sushi! Great prices, very fresh and always delicious! The owner/staff are super friendly and the service is always fast and efficient! Been going here for over 15 years (even followed them from their old location closer to Ambelside) and have never once been disappointed! I now travel over 30mins just to get their Sushi because no other Sushi restaurant is nearly as good. I highly recommend this place; In my opinion for the quality and the price it's the best Sushi around without a doubt! Love them!“

“Wow! The quality of their food is unbeatable! The portions are generous, and the free parking is a great bonus. I love their sushi and, on top of that, the way they treat their customers is exceptional. Believe me, you should go there and experience their warm welcome for yourself. Kin Sushi, you are amazing—keep up the great work!?“

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

“Sushi Katsu in West Vancouver is an absolute gem! The dynamite roll is hands down the best I've had in years - the quality is excellent, and the presentation is fantastic. The service is also very attentive, making for a delightful dining experience.

I did notice a difference in the sashimi presentation during my visits; on my first visit, it was beautifully arranged in a floral design, which I absolutely loved. On my next visit, it was served in plain pieces, which was a bit of a letdown since the floral presentation really stood out.

One area that could use a bit more TLC is the washrooms, as I noticed they were storing cleaning products and had some dust on the surfaces. Despite this, the overall experience was wonderful, and I highly recommend Sushi Katsu for anyone craving delicious sushi!“
