    Wild Salmon Nigiri
    Allison D.

    Pretty good sushi place, I like that they have gluten free soya sauce but would prefer if they had more gluten free items available. The sushi has always been fresh when I've come here and the service has always been friendly. It's a good sushi spot to visit when you're in West Vancouver and it's a nice location close to the water.

    Dynamite & Sushi Combo $15
    Mori N.

    If you really want to try this place....go and dine in....maybe then they'll practice some standard in serving you and their presentation. So, regretfully we decided to pick up some Sushi on our way to a potluck dinner party. I ordered the Deluxe Sashimi Platter and the Dynamite Sushi Combo over the phone, and they made sure to let me know that they would be charging me extra for extra ginger on an order that was already overpriced and under-delivered. Ok...here's the deal: In any part of the world where living beings have two ears, one mouth, two eyeballs, five fingers, walk upright and tend not eat their first born if it's a cold winter....tend to think of a party platter as....well....a platter for a party...you with me so far?....ok. Well, it was to my surprise that this party platter that we ordered was so tastefully put together in a styrofoam box....YES....Styrofoam. I was relieved that I picked something from the "Chef's choice" section...I mean if it had been let's say from the "Janitor's section"....I probably would've been handed each sashimi in the palm of my hand....(no offence to janitors....they make the world a much cleaner place!). So yeah.....the octopus in the sushi combo was very chewy and the Dynamite roll....I've had better Dynamite Rolls at airport lunch counters..... Don't ask me what I was doing at the lunch counter at the airport. The whole experience at this place was just so underwhelming, blahhh and simply a massive.....Really?!

    I usually order takeout from this place, but over the weekend, I opted to dine in with a friend. What a lovely time we had! The food here is excellent, especially the spicy Gochujang sauce they use on the spicy tuna. I also tried a new roll, which was fantastic. We were pleasantly surprised with complimentary tea as we sat down. The restaurant has ample space, and the dining room wasn't too loud. In terms of sushi pricing in Greater Vancouver, I'd say it's in the middle range. The staff were considerate and made sure to check about my peanut allergy. As someone with a severe allergy, I felt secure eating there. They took great care to ensure my food was safe. I highly recommend communicating any allergies with the staff if you check this place out. Will be back - both for take out, and dine in!

    Ebi Sunomono salad excellent the best I've ever had highly recommend it!

    Lunch was great as usual I would suggest the combo A it's only $14.00 great value for your money. My choice was Ebi Sunomono salad and the black dynamite roll. Delicious! In general this sushi restaurant is wonderful food always fresh and service is great.

    California Roll ($3.95): great taste and price!

    === 1. VERDICT/VALUE Everything is a little more expensive in West Vancouver so that's one thing holding back the stars in this review; however, if you're looking for good sushi and service, this would be the place when you're on the North Shore! === 2. FOOD - Sashimi Sushi Combo ($18.50): two each of salmon and tuna sashimi, three pieces of nigiri, and eight pieces of California roll await you in this tasty combo! - Black Cod ($19.00): two pieces are included in this order. It's rather small for the price! - California Roll ($3.95): actually well-priced and tastes good too! - Seared Tuna Avocado Salad ($15.00): solid choice for the taste and price (see pic)! === 3. SERVICE Only got takeout a number of times and it's always been good! === 4. ENVIRONMENT Modern and contemporary - looks like a good place to dine-in when possible! Wheelchairs and baby strollers work inside, but there is an unusual set of steps outside to get to the front door, so keep that in mind. Parking is limited in the underground lot in the back; otherwise, you're trying you're like on the street out front!

    Where do I start? I and my fiancé came to west Vancouver for vacation and our mission was to try all the sushi places we come across. By far, this restaurant won our hearts and we even visited multiple times which is something we never do. I attached multiple photos of every roll we ordered and every single roll was beyond perfect from every aspect!!!Taste, presentation, quality, texture....etc. Every single aspect, literarily. The desert was amazing and very Delicious. Professionally presented and just amazing. The atmosphere is very calm, quiet and cozy; Very relaxed piano music played in the background. Romantic, relaxing and also there is extreme privacy from other customers by having little walls between tables. If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would. Please disregard the negative reviews and give it a try. Cheers,

    Beautiful interior by North Shore standards

    Bene Sushi is very likely the best sushi place in West Vancouver. The first thing you noticee about this place is how big and luxurious the interior is compared to typical North Shore sushi restaurants. It has a feel more like Cactus than your average Japanese restaurant. Seating is wide and comfortable. Food quality is good to very good and very consistent at a price level which is competitive. The restaurant has very good turnover so ingredients are very fresh. Nigiri sushi and some of the rolls are surprisingly good. My favorite dish here is West Van roll which has sockeye salmon, unagi, fried prawn, avocado and others rolled into a super delicious roll. I seldom like rolls but this roll is very tasty. Just delicious!! Nigiri sushi are mostly well prepared and their omakase sashimi is somes very good depending on available ingredients. Tempura is also fried spot on. Another dish I like is their spicy seafood noodle. A great dish to share after drinking. Service is very friendly and efficient here. The owner's wife manages this place and does a fantastic job in motivating their employees.

    Tempura (very good serving size, fresh out of fryer)

    I personally had a great experience at Bene Sushi. The staff were sweet and attentive: they were prompt to seat us, eager to take our orders and always pouring teas for us. The food itself was delicious and they had great lunch deals and the sushi also tasted fresh. Price wise, very reasonable for the amount of food you get (and honestly, you get A LOT). Ambience is calm and there's plenty of seating. Very clean and organized. Typical look for a Vancouver sushi restaurant with the booths. I will definitely come again if I'm in the area to grab more sushi!

    What a wonderful sushi place! Tonight was my second visit in less than a week.... the first was a spontaneous dinner during bridge closure and dual traffic accidents on the upper levels hwy in north van. As I work closer to 25th in west Vancouver, this area of town is usually enjoyed as I slide past on a bus. However as it turned out hunger and bad traffic were the instigators of finding this gem. Classically decorated with shiny sparkly diamond-like light fixtures, neck and higher booth walled seating and a lovely dark wood leaning. I have since returned two or three times since starting this review. Service here is mostly awesome - however it's easy to be overlooked if sitting in their high walled booths. Food is delicate and a taste wonder no matter what I've tried. I highly recommend having a pint of Asahi - you get a free portion of edamame. ;)

    Salad with imitation crab
    Karen L.

    Really yummy sushi and tempura, though the other items on the menu aren't as authentic or tasty. I tried their Blue Ocean roll and Unagi Flaming roll, and both were delicious! The thing that really sets their rolls apart is that they use a lot less rice than most sushi places, so you get a high filling to rice ratio. Moreover, the ingredients all combined together really well, especially with the added umami and creaminess from the sauces. I also got lunch special D, which came with salad, gyoza, chicken yaki udon, nigiri, and tempura (you can customize the last three). I really liked how fresh the nigiri was, and the tempura was crisp and contained the right amount of batter. The salad was decent as well. However, I found the chicken yaki udon and gyoza to be sub par; neither authentic nor delicious. Although this place looks small from the outside, it's actually quite big! The service is pretty efficient, and the ambience it is casual and comfortable. Bene Sushi is a great place to stop by for some sushi and tempura! However, if you're looking for other Japanese dishes, I would try to find a different restaurant instead.

He recognized her love for miso and he got us a whole bunch of extra miso soups. He was also very nice and acccommodating. I had a salmon toro and it was really good. Also had the salmon teriyaki - it comes in a big bowl with lots of veggies in it, seems more like sukiyaki as it's full of broth. The broth is really good too - I highly recommend it. Oh and they have two kinds of miso soup - including clam miso soup which my daughter really liked! The crispy oshi was much bigger than I remembered. Huge slices of avocado! Great place.

    We came here because my daughter wanted to go somewhere that she could order Katsu. We'd been to…read moreanother restaurant across the street recently where she'd had katsu so I decided, let's go somewhere different this time, where she could get her katsu and the menu would have more variety on it for the rest of us who might not be in the mood for katsu. I tried something new this time. It was a cold rainy day so I was in the mood for a bowl of hot soup and noodles. I had a Vege Udon. My mom ordere the seafood Udon. So OK...I suppose soup and udon noodles isn't exactly trying something new as I've definitely had soup and udon noodles before. However, udon noodles are something I have rarely ever ordered over the years. Especially as Ramen seems to have gotten more popular over the years than Udon. Plenty of Ramen restaurants within Greater Vancouver, but how many restaurants in Vancouver specialize in udon? Not very many. I don't know why I don't order udon noodles more often. When it's a cold, rainy day I always think Ramen noodles but this bowl of Vege Udon was just as satisfying as any bowl of Ramen. Actually, maybe more so since I've had lots of Ramen over the years but hardly any bowls of udon noodles. This was a refreshing change of pace. They serve the udon noodles in what appeared to be a cast iron bowl. Simple yet so elegant. I loved the flavor of my broth. It was a nice, light broth. Not too rich, and it had a sweet flavor to it. I think I've just regained a new appreciation for Udon noodles!

Loved both my dishes. The Angry Tofu is a nice change of pace from Agedashi Tofu. It's got a bit of a kick to it. Still love my Agedashi Tofu but it's just nice to have something slightly different every now and then. The Avocado roll was excellent. We usually like getting Avocado roll from another restaurant that's actually in the same block as this restaurant. Always happy to know of another place though where we can get a good Avocado roll. No signs of browning on any of the Avocado, and they were very generous with the amount of Avocado that was put into the roll. This place was apparently part of the Dine Out Vancouver event. They had a Dine Out menu that was $55 but none of us chose to go for that. We preferred to order off the regular menu. I like that they have some different offerings on their menu such as the Angry Tofu, and I also saw Oden on the menu. This is probably the first time I've seen Oden on the menu at Japanese restaurant on the North Shore. On the other hand, I was surprised that some of the usual items I tend to see on most other Japanese restaurant menus, were not on the menu here. Seafood Yakisoba for example, wasn't on the menu. I was hoping to bring home an order of that for my mother who hadn't been feeling well enough to come out with us but I had to choose a different item since Seafood Yakisoba wasn't on the menu.

Okeya Kyujiro is a Michelin one-star theatrical omakase restaurant, and when they say theatrical, they mean it! From the moment you're welcomed by smiling ushers in kimono to the closing tea ceremony, every movement feels intentional, precise, and elevated. The ambiance is serene and anticipatory. At the start, guests sit in silence as a black screen conceals the chefs. You see their shadows moving behind it. A bell rings, the screen lifts, and the performance begins. Dinner is a 25+ course experience priced at $325 per person. It's undeniably a splurge, but for a milestone celebration, it feels justified. The menu is seafood-forward, with many ingredients flown in from Japan. Each ingredient is presented before preparation, then carefully assembled and served directly from chef to guest. Courses arrive one by one, never rushed. The service team moves seamlessly in the background, refilling water and attending to drinks (available as an add-on) without disrupting the flow. The finale is a matcha ceremony, whisked in front of you with the same quiet precision that defines the evening. When the final sip is taken, the bell chimes once more, the chefs and staff bow, and the screens close. It was a beautifully choreographed dining experience, perfect for marking a special moment, and one I'd gladly return to for the next celebration.

Total 10 guests today. Looks like 4 more guests can be served for the maximum seating. The server came by when the course is served to explain each item. The appetizers have three dishes. The tempura is freshly made and hot. The cooked fish tastes a bit fishy to my likely. The chawanmushi is lukewarm which I wish to be hotter. It then follows by 8 nigiri sushi with brown rice - really like the texture and (small) portion of rice with each nigiri. Fresh ingredients. I asked for low sodium option however the first few nigiri is a bit too salty and I have notified the server so the chef can adjust immediately. I enjoy the Hokkaido uni nigiri the last smoked fish nigiri the most. The fresh crab and salmon roe rice and beef soba noodles at the end have a nice touch of finesse. There are a number of birthday celebrations and they asked for names to acknowledge and celebrate the birthdays. A little musical piano "performance" for the happy birthday song. Matcha green tea is served at the end to wrap up the omakase. Overall an enjoyable experience but not necessarily impressive as a Michelin 1 star restaurant. At this price point it's worth a try however not likely regular visit.

We arrived around 2 PM for our reservation and were greeted warmly right away, which made for a great first impression. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The bamboo divider running through the middle of the space gave it a cozy, modern Japanese-inspired feel, and the overall atmosphere was probably my favorite part of the experience. As for the food, unfortunately it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. I ordered the seafood sizzler bowl, and while it wasn't bad by any means, it felt underwhelming for the price. The bowl was mostly rice, with a few small prawns, tiny scallops, a little roe, and some crab mixed in. I was expecting something more seafood-forward, so it ended up feeling more like a deconstructed fried rice than the premium dish I had envisioned. Same with the unagi bowl, couple small pieces of unagi cut up... The appetizers were actually the highlight of the meal and ended up being more memorable than my main course. I kept waiting for a dish to really wow me, but nothing stood out enough to make me crave a return visit. Maybe I just ordered the wrong items, because I know this place has plenty of fans. Overall, I'm glad I tried it, but based on this visit, I don't see myself making a special trip back.
