Sukeban Sushi & Champagne Bar

Had a nice experience on a date night at Sukeban, on late November 2024! Despite the small place being a little packed that day, we got attentive service. The restaurant has a nice, cozy atmosphere.

The pork gyoza appetizer was good and crispy. I went for their Philadelphia Roll, and they were accommodating when I asked to remove the avocado. Using goat cheese instead of cream cheese on the roll is a great switch-up on a classic, and I really enjoyed it. I would've liked a little more fish inside the roll, but at the same time, I appreciate the size of the pieces as they are on point. My partner thought he didn't like sushi but was surprised after trying a piece of my roll and actually liking it! He ordered the chicken teriyaki, which was a generous portion. For dessert we shared the fried ice cream, an interesting warm and cold treat.

All in all, everything was nice and we would probably go back. Their happy hour sounds like a good deal.

It's alright, paid about $120+ for a dinner for two. The fried calamari was a joke. It looked like they just threw some Long John frier crispies on a plate. Triple the portion and it may be worth it. The squid salad was excellent. I work downtown and so visit the tourist traps a lot. This place had a nice server who was easy on the eyes. Very nice. *Shhh don't tell my wife I said that. Lol :D but the price was a lot. You can get the same quality for a third less cost.

I've been homesick and really missing good fresh sashimi (I'm from Vancouver BC where we have some of the best seafood in the world).

I found this place online and it's super cute and clean inside. I love the dark moody ambiance mixed with the colorful murals.

I ordered three types of nigiri: fatty salmon, scallop, and yellowtail. They came out quickly and were decent, although I know that I have high expectations because of the seafood we get back home. The raw seafood here has a different texture than what I'm used to, it was really mushy and warm. I have never had sashimi like that!

I also ordered the miso soup which was nice and hot, but it was a little too salty for my liking. Big sized portion though.

The staff were super nice and attentive. I saw the chef scratch his nose with his fingers though, and not wash his hands, which made me a little grossed out!

Staff was friendly and the food came out quickly! The sushi was okay but it may be that I’m just used to a different taste. I’d come back and try something else though!

One of the best Sushi joints in town. Scenery was great with all the Japanese art on the walls all thru the building. The wife and I went after a mart at the brick and we really had a great time. For starters we got spring rolls and edamame. Spring rolls were really crispy and packed. Edamame was good and had sea salt sprinkled on it.
For the main dishes we split the spicy tuna and Sukeban roll. Spicy tuna was good. Good flavor a just a tad bit of spice. The Sukeban was a staff favorite and recommendation. It was really good. Had yellowtail inside and had a spicy but yet citrus taste at the end. Really really good and definitely recommend. Staff was on top of it the whole night. Constantly checking and making sure water was filled. Pricing is good! For 2 rolls and 2 starters we paid about $43. So good little night out for us and we will definitely be going back to visit.

There were a lot of great things about this restaurant, but also a few not-so-great. The atmosphere is really nice, including the music. The service was excellent, and the presentation of the dishes was beautiful. The tofu tacos were delicious, and they had a great selection of sake. The not great things were the wagyu yakitori, which was way overcooked (and also not yakitori) and the sushi roll that had its flavor overpowered by the piece of lime on top of every piece. I'd probably go here again but order some different dishes.

I ordered the chicken teriyaki plate. Simple meal of salad, rice and chicken. For the price, I would have expected fresh everything. Lettuce was already browning and the rice was hard. I cook so I know day old rice when I see it and feel it. Won't be going back Sadly.

Parking: Somedays parking is free. I was here on 1st Friday, parking was $15. I didn't want to even find out how far street parking was.
