    Mango Roll

    This is one of my favorite sushi places in town. I often come here for takeout, but also love coming in and sitting in the very cute heritage house for dinner. The food is always fresh and the service is always great. Sometimes you may have to wait a little bit for your food, but believe me it's worth the the wait . If you love fresh sushi, you will love this place.

    Great food and atmosphere, but service sucks if you are upstairs. Would come again for the food though.

    Amazing food and comfortable atmosphere. Definitely worth the drive out. The servers were friendly as well.

    I love the food, the ambiance and the service. It's a bit pricey but I'd rather spend an extra to satisfy my cravings.

    It's located in an old heritage house, which could use a decor update but it adds to the experience.

    Often go to this sushi restaurant considering they have been the best in Pitt Meadows, but we'll be…read moregoing to Maple Ridge spots after this most likely. Half the family went to eat in, and two of us could not make it, but got food taken home - 1 beef teriyaki don, 1 chicken curry katsu don, and 1 negitoro maki. I woke up twice with diarrhea in the middle of the night, my partner did this morning, and so did my mom who dined in... And no, my mother was out all day, and the only meal we shared together was this one as a family all day. It was a Sunday (August 17), and they are closed Monday, so it really felt like we got the tail end of the products before closing for a day, which is unfortunate if that's how they want to treat loyal customers, but giving them the stuff going bad before the weeks end. What is for certain is the food handling practices aren't up to par regardless if they want to utilize old stock before closing Monday, at least do your due diligence as a food handler to ensure it's safe to eat and not sitting in the danger zone for hours. Usually this place is really good so I'm a little perturbed by the lack of expertise/food handling standards I've come to expect.

    I really like that they offer gluten free items and the fish is fresh but the portions are quite…read moresmall and they charge for everything like the green tea, the gluten free soya sauce, then extra charge for searing and upgrading to wild salmon. You need to spend about a hundred dollars to actually feel full and satisfied so it can get pretty expensive for the tiny portions. My friend and I honestly had to go and buy some protein bars from Superstore to actually feel full after spending 90 bucks here, we actually had to eat 3 bars each to feel full after this restaurant. So I guess if you don't mind splurging on sushi for a day and you're gluten intolerant it's alright but it's definitely a money grab.

A no-nonsense restaurant that has simple decorations, but really fresh food. Came on a weekday and had made a reservation, but it was quite quiet around dinner time. Isobe-Age (4/5) - $7.25 Taste: Never had an appy quite like this - raw tuna wrapped in tempura style seaweed. It was fresh, served warm, and the dashi broth that it was dipped in was delicious. The textures were complex, the fish was soft, while the seaweed was crunchy and somehow it worked. However, I'm not sure if I would have preferred this served as either a cold dish or a hot dish, but instead it was a bit of both? Portion Size: 4 pieces Deluxe assorted nigiri sushi (5/5) - $34.75 Taste: I would order this again in a heartbeat. They offer a wide selection of fish that is not served at most Japanese restaurants including shima-aji, homemade tamago, amaebi. I think the quality of the fish is extremely fresh and comparable to omakase spots in Vancouver. The tamago was especially delicious and I don't even typically prefer tamago. Portion Size: Good portion for 1 person [Value for Money] While it's quite far away from the city, I can vouch for the drive out. It's worth it to try this restaurant for the quality of its fish. Perhaps omakase you can get elsewhere, but the deluxe assorted sushi itself was WELL worth its price.
