Salmon Sashimi ($6.95) and California Roll ($3.75): both great choices and great value!
Jack W.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE You've got my vote for 4 or 5 stars when good food is available fast and at a good price, payable with credit card (i.e. not having to worry about pesky cash)! === 2. FOOD This is the only option for sushi in the Aberdeen food court, and that's not an issue! We enjoyed on this visit: - Salmon Sashimi ($6.95): Smooth, buttery salmon that fatty in a good way - well worth the price of admission for five pieces! - California Roll ($3.75): Don't let the low price fool you - you get 8 pieces of maki at this price and they're good too! - Hawaiian Roll ($7.95): Having just moved here from Hawaii, I had to try this (it doesn't exist as far as I know in Hawaii). As it turns out, it's ahi/tuna, avocado, imitation crab and fish roe wrapped in thin slices of peeled cucumber. Like a California roll with a twist. I like. :) - Lemon Tea ($1): Order any menu option and it seems like you can get up to two large lemon teas for a $1 each. That's a sweet deal! (pun intended) === 3. SERVICE Well...the lady assisting was alright, but less helpful when inquiring as to what it is in the Hawaiian roll. She didn't know and seemed almost reluctant to find out and focused on trying to sell me more expensive rolls. Apart from that, the service was alright and the food was prepped quickly. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's the Aberdeen Centre food court, which was bright open environment, welcoming for many and those with wheelchairs and baby strollers too. Parking is plentiful as usual in the Centre's parkade.

I'm really not sure how they have such a high stat rating on here but everything from the cheap single use plastic serving dishes they use to the uneven chopsticks that look like they came from the one-off factory (too thick, can't grip noodles) was just awful! I came back to ask for a cup of water and the woman asked me if I had my own cup. Why in the world would I ask for a cup of water if I had my own cup?! The food was prepared quickly and the seafood ramen I ordered had a bunch of small previously frozen shrimp and a couple pieces of fish cake along with canned corn. the ramen broth was bland and unmemorable. Worst of all were the unfresh, packages noodles. I have better ramen noodles sitting in my pantry at home right now. I actually left most of the ramen behind when I finished the meal. Biggest waste of $11+ even if it is CD and not USD. Save yourself the misery!

Spicy Combo
Naomi T.

Never thought I'd be ordering sushi from a very Chinese food court but that's what I wanted haha Surprisingly not bad. I had the Spicy Combo for $14.50 which comes with a spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon roll and chopped scallop roll. It was not bad for the price! Also the rolls had more filling than my recent visit to Sushi House which is nearby.

Salmon Bowl w/ Rice
Tony A.

Pros: Delicious salmon bowl with rice and ice lemon tea; conveniently located in Aberdeen Centre (food court); relatively inexpensive; fast and friendly service; would highly recommend/return to try the sushi (which was also fairly inexpensive) Cons: Miso soup was on the saltier end, but came complimentary with meal

Located in the food court on the third floor of the Aberdeen Centre, this place has a variety of food stalls. You most likely can find something that suits your taste and there are plenty of tables around.

Tofu & Rice, plus tempura, California rolls, salad, and fresh made ice tea and a miso soup. $12
Serenity X.

Yummy. Affordable too. Quick to serve and high tech gave you an electronic tag so you didn't have to stand at the counter to wait for your food. Bento boxes are about $2-3 cheaper than outside at other places. Adding an fresh iced tea was $1 so that was a steal.

I ordered the spider roll and it's probably one of the best I've ever had! Will be back again.

Beef ramen
Daniel N.

I've been here numerous times and I like the food they offer. Sushi quality is passable but the ramen is a different story. This review is based on beef ramen I got for lunch. For a low, low price of $6.95 (before taxes, ma cherie), you get a good-tasting, kotteri-looking broth along with well-done, shredded beef. Corn and menma pieces and a boiled egg complimented the beef. And all of this, garnished with scallions and a large piece of nori. For a non-authentic Japanese eatery, the presentation is spot on. It's totally pretty good for the price. Oh yeah their $1 lemonade is so good, sometimes I just come to the place just to order that.

Ok am I a lunch slut or a gossip whore? That's my question of the day. AC texted me yesterday to come down to Richmond to have lunch with her. In Richmond? Like wow I have to drive an half an hour to eat a 20 minute lunch? Does that make sense? Maybe it was the holiday boredom, but I decided to make an adventure out of it and I went to the Michael's in Richmond too. The eating part of lunch ended in like 20 minutes, but AC and I sat in the mall gossiping for another 3 hours! Ok... I'm a gossip whore! Haha We decided to meet in the food court in Aberdeen Mall. It's a bit pedestrian, but I find that there is a wide selection of Asian dishes here so why not hey? My next question is does it make sense to choose a Japanese restaurant in a Chinese mall food court? Well I didn't have any cash (and I don't like borrowing money from people) so I had to interact my transaction. Surprising how many Chinese places take cash only! I don't want it to sound like this but one of the main reasons I settled on AJI Hana is that this place takes interact! Well the food was a bit common.... I had a bento box. I would say that whole things was rather flavourless. Certainly nothing distinctive about this food or this entire meal. Would I come back? Hmmm..... Not likely! Next time I'm out of cash I'm going to borrow money!!!

We randomly ordered the unagi don from this place. Definitely not a regular customer cause eating Japanese food in Chinese food court is not my thing. But to my surprise, this was actually good! First, it's only $12.5 for the unagi don and $1 extra for cold lemon tea. So much cheaper than restaurants. And then they gave us lots of unagi. You can see it fully covered the surface! And with the full rice bowl, I could barely finish it myself. The unagi tasted normal, just like any other Japanese restaurant. Now if I crave for unagi don and don't want to pay a lot, I probably will come back. :)

Love this place! The food, ambiance and service. The ambiance is super fun with lots of anime…read morecharacters and a big screen playing anime. The staffs/owner were very friendly and made great recommendations. Had the hamachi carpaccio, so refreshing and appetizing. The homemade ponzu (lemony) sauce has a nice finish with thin sliced onions and veggies. The Engawa Arburi nigiri was recommended, and it was phenomenal. It is the 'fin edge' of flounder. Super delicate, with seared (arburi) flavor and melts in your mouth. Yum! The other highlight was the Wagyu beef cubes severed on stick. Two skewers 4 cubes each. The Wagyu was perfectly cooked. It melts in your mouth with every bite. We also enjoyed the 7 piece Omakase sushi set. The fish was very fresh and satiating. Love the lotus root chips garnishing. We loved everything we had but would likely skip the Omakase appetizer Platter. Perhaps we were spoiled by the hamachi carpaccio appetizer. We still enjoyed it but For the same price, we would prefer the sushi set. It had 9 small plates in a beautiful serving box including- tiny sashimi cube of salmon, tuna, tamago, and my fav is the komochi nishin (herring fillets ("Nishin") layered over a base of crunchy capelin roe), also included in the tiny plates of apps were, chicken karaage, baby taco, sliced taco, taco in red sauce, and seaweed salad. We look forward to be back!!!!!

The menu contains a variety of rice combo dishes that you can select (pork, chicken, beef, fois gras, curry) and a tempura noodle set as well. Occasionally, they also have specials as well. My boyfriend and I ordered the beef set and the tempura noodle set with pork. I love how there are a variety of side dishes that come with the set. This is great for those who like variety and want to have a complete meal with all the food groups. My favourite is definitely the pickled daikon/carrot and the cabbage salad! The food is not too salty and the broth was perfectly seasoned for my palate. My boyfriend also ordered an espresso romano which I had never tried before. The foam on top was surprisingly refreshing with a tart aftertaste of lime. The prices were also very fair with most sets averaging around $19-20 before tax. You order at the counter and pay after you're finished. This is a great place for a quick bite especially if you're in the Ironwood area of Richmond.

My friend chose this place to celebrate his birthday, as he heard good things. It was a week day…read morerainy day, and the restaurant was pretty quiet. When I first walked in, we see the setup is very traditional Japanese style with small dividers and booths. The waitress took me to our booth, and left the tablet for me to use to order food. I like how they provide tablet and also have the option to order by scanning the QR code. We ordered several dishes to share. The aburi sushi set was one of the highlights. It came with 7 pieces of different kind of Aburi sushi. We like how they torched not only the tipping, but also the rice. It added so much flavor to it. The Taco wasabi was also very refreshing. My first bite had a kick to it, then I got used to the wasabi. We also got to try some of the bbq dishes, such as the Gyutan (beef Tongue) and the Ton Toro (pork belly). The Sukiyaki beef nabe was delicious, however, it was very salty, and ot was over killed by salt. The Foie gras fried rice was suppose to be one of the most anticipated dish, however, it was a little underwhelming. We could find a lot of foie Gras, which was a bit disappointing. The service was decent, They even changed our plates during our meals. The food came out very quick after we ordered. However, for some reason, they didn't like to communicate with English. Every time when I spoke English, the waitress spoke Chinese back to me. See I'm not sure why. Overall, it was a pretty nice place for small group gatherings. It's a bit pricey, but the quality was there.

We were seriously refreshing the screen as we were driving over to the restaurant. When we got to the restaurant they told us to join the waitlist and lo and behold there were already 5 people ahead of us!! The restaurant is small and the waiting area even smaller -- with 5 ahead of us we ended up waiting about an hour!! We got the dinner sets of soba/sushi, chirashi, and unagi. Everything tasted solid but seems small for the price. My little (who doesn't eat much) finished the whole meal set and said she was only 50% full and proceeded to eat snacks in the car after dinner. The staff spoke Japanese so you know it's pretty authentic but for the price and the wait, it could've delivered more.

This location is inside the CF Richmond Center mall. My party of 4 was able to get seated immediately on a Saturday around 12:45pm. Once seated, there will be a paper where you can individually mark your order at each person's seat. I opted to get the 6 hand roll set along with the salmon aburi oshi. The salmon oshi was very meh IMO, but some others in my party liked it. It was kind of tasteless to me, and the servers suggested not having it with soy sauce, but my friends said it actually tasted better with soy sauce. As for the hand rolls, they were pretty good; my favorites were the toro and the truffle lobster, which is more unique and not something I usually see at other hand roll bars. Service was generally quite good, with our waters and ginger being refilled. We were also offered an explanation of the menu when we were seated as it was our first time dining here. However I feel like the wait time between rolls was a bit of a let down. Similar to some other hand roll bars I've been to, it seems like the order in which parties were served was kind of random. For example, other parties would get 2-3 hand rolls in a row before we got one. Also, even within my party, 2 people got 2 hand rolls in a row before I even got one. It was a bit strange and I wish the service was a bit more balanced. Pricing was also on the higher side - the hand rolls aren't super big so even a 6 set hand roll ($39) didn't leave me feeling completely full.
