11 Best Japanese Restaurants in West Vancouver

“Awesome customized service options 🙌“

“My most favourite and best sushi in the North Shore. Everything is delicious and a must try. Their Oshi’s are to die for! Specially Crispy Oshi with Black Rice. The sashimi is superb, rolls and special rolls are so delicious. Staff is super friendly and kind. Love this place.“

“Absolutely the best authentically Japanese katsu and ramen restaurant. The katsu is top notch and meal presentation fantastic, with a variety of little sauces and side accompaniments with the main dish. Real value for the price! Staff is also very polite and attentive. I highly recommend this place!“

“This place literally blew my friend and my own minds.... the ROLLS!!!! There is a lot of good sushi in Vancouver, this place is a must try.

.....it may be the best sushi we've ever had, and she doesn't even like sushi. Ive eaten at plenty of places around here.

Amber roll has mango, incredible. Pictured with white rice. The tower roll had white rice and the red dragon we tried with black rice, and wild salmon instead of farm raised. It made a huge difference. Try at least one roll with black rice, cant do that everywhere.

We couldn't stop talking about it for 24hrs.

Also, the people there are solid <3“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“
