22 Best Sushi Bars in Vancouver

“This place was so good! Large fresh rolls. Great service!“

“New sushi restaurant with conveyor belt in Salmon Creek area (next door to The Barbers). Good quality, fresh sashimi. We tried several rolls and sashimi and enjoyed everything. We will def be back again.“

“My favorite sushi place in town ❤️ lived in japan for years and I am a little fussy about my sushi but sakanaya always delivers exactly what I need ❤️ the staff is always so amazing and kind, the sushi chefs are extremely skilled. Well worth it whether you're eating in or getting take out. Their udon and poke bowls are also very tasty! I highly recommend the sunshine roll if you like a little bit of citrus!“

“My son and I used to come here a lot in years passed and thought the food was great but now, I guess they're under new mgmt.? Not sure. Anyway, we hadn't been there for a few years until recently and the food is better! and there's more on the menu! My fiancé was pleased with the food also! I'm a Local Guide from Oregon also, and it's been a while since I've posted anything. The service was excellent, very quick, professional and friendly! The only category that I gave as a three is the ambience. It would be better if Japanese music was played on the intercom as it then would it more authentic. Well be coming back often!!!“

“Very good Korean BBQ and Shabu Shabu. Great service. Will definitely go again.“

“FANTASTIC! So many positive things to say about this family owned business in the heart of the new waterfront.

The staff greet you warmly as if you are family. It’s amazingly clean. The tables, chairs and decor are tasteful, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing.

Even the glasses, straws, plates and utensils are spotless and high quality.

They do not fry food in kitchen so the restaurant smells great. It’s quiet and the music is subtle and not obnoxiously loud. You could have a romantic date here and not be shouting over the din.

They have booths, tables, and private spaces, as well as a beautiful bar.

The FOOD! I can’t say enough about the high quality and presentation. The owners traveled to Hawaii to get a direct source for their tuna. The miso soup is made from scratch and is sooo yummy. I’ve eaten in every sushi bar in Vancouver and Portland and Shinsen is definitely on another level.

You will spend some $$ but if you think of sushi as a luxurious treat and not fast food like I do then you’re right on the money with what to expect from this fine dining experience.

P.S. Do yourself a favor and get the Giesha Roll... You will not regret it!“

“Great vibe - excellent cocktails - Amazing Sushi“

“First time here and will be back again! They had something for everyone in the family, it was clean and the staff was nice. Daniel made our sushi and was funny and very nice! His sushi was great and he made sure to let us know not to over order because the size of the rolls is pretty substantial, which is fantastic as a family on a budget! We will be coming back here for sure!!“

“Amazing food and wonderful staff!!“

“Delicious food. Friendly staff. Welcoming environment. I highly recommend Sushi Mo.“

“Great place. Not a whole lot of seating so be prepared to wait if your there during peak hours. Good news is you won't have to wait long. These guys are really fast. Good sushi, large pieces of fish. Not cheap, but priced well based on portions. Will definitely be going back!“

“Great food and nice atmosphere!“

“I come here every week and it's always a fantastic experience. The food is so good - especially the sushi larb with sticky rice. OMG!! Expensive, but delicious and authentic. I also really like the spring rolls. Their lattes are the smoothes coffee on this side of town, and I don't need to add any sugar. The owners are super nice, and always looking for feedback on how to improve. Support local!!!“

“The food is wonderful and they have options for those who don't like sushi. We take our kids there and always have a great time. It is quiet and the prices are great! We fed 6 people for less than $120 today. We then turned around and put in an online order for a few of our other kids and they had everything done and ready in less than 20min or so.

Great place to go!“

“This place was a pleasant surprise. I’d been to other sushi places nearby and even poor experiences- kept going back to them. This is now my go to place. The service is way ABOVE the other place nearby. Very friendly and attentive. Easy to see what you want as it passes by. Great HH. We liked it so much that we came by twice in one week for late lunch (we normally don’t do lunch). Anyway- passed by so many times and judged it because it’s kind of in a strip mall type setup. Do not let that fool you. Just a great experience with really friendly and authentic folks running & working there.“

“I like to come here with my dad and sushi is good quality and I just love be their spicy tuna hand rolls, however, I was really disappointed to see that the conveyor is no longer a thing. Don’t get me wrong, sushi is still great, but it’s still a shame that the conveyor isn’t a thing anymore.“

“Quality sushi. Great options. Fairly priced. Friendly staff.“

“We had a wonderful experience at Thai Orchid. We came as a group of 4 for dinner. We were promptly greeted and sat, then immediately asked for drinks or appetizers. The atmosphere of the building is very cozy while also keeping the rustic brick and open ceiling aesthetic. We shared a few of the noodle and rice dishes and they were delicious. The dishes were warm and flavorful. Everyone also ordered sushi rolls as well. All the food came very quickly and all together. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu, and gluten free accomodations were known. We plan to come back again many times.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options“

“I was in here very briefly for a quick ichi roll today and it was great! It was just me coming at a slow time so they sat me very quickly. I got my roll very quickly too!
I decided on the ichi roll, and it is the best I’ve had! I didn’t get the peanuts on top, but it was so good I didn’t even ask about it being missing. They were very kind and I’m sure if I brought it up to them they would have provided it.“

“Service was great , bar area was nice“

“We love coming in after work for soju and some sushi. LOVE the owners- they are so sweet and we love supporting them. Great, basic sushi, good selection of sake/soju/beer/wine and awesome service. Clean, convenient, and a great place to hang out. 10/10“

“The sushi here is a hit or miss. Sometimes you come in and there’s barely anything on the belt. Starting around 7, they begin the cleaning process to close and it’s very obvious. I even stopped what I was doing to check the time because the vibe they were giving off was that they were actively closing. They’re okay for the most part, I come often.“
