    I have to give credit to the Yelp app, as there was no way I was going to find this place and be surprised. Looking for a place to have an affordable meal around this neighborhood that served Japanese food I had some places I knew from previous visits, but never ever thinking of this part of Burrard. Walking toward this location I was a little skeptical as there were a few restaurants here on Saturday afternoon that seemed to have closed for the day, or are just closed during the mid-shift and then it was there. The place wasn't busy at all, maybe someone picking up takeout and a small table of two, but that was it. We sat down, the three of us, and wondered are we in the right place... well I can say after leaving here, we did come to the right place, thank you to all who reviewed. We sat in this small restaurant, that when you walk in seems more like a take-out sushi joint, and sat ourselves at one of the tables. The lady that was working here quickly provided us some menu's, the normal flare of sashimi, maki, cones, combos, specialty rolls, appetizers, and bigger dishes like udon and soba noodles, quite the selection from this small little place. As the people running the joint were behind the front desk after leaving us alone to figure out what we wanted to order, I started hearing Mandarin... ok so this is a Chinese making sushi joint... more skeptical, then we decided to order a few things. From a few of their specialty rolls, one which was more on a take of a normal scallop roll with more stuff, to something that was more special than a regular BC roll, we even ordered the regular salon, tuna, cucumber maki combo, and then needed an order of yaki soba. To start with, the rolls that we had, each was done quite well, and none was 'over-riced' like one place that is up on Davie... (ahem). Each piece had great balance, from the protein fillings to the rice ratio, let alone how the rice was, from 3 people who were double guessing ourselves to ordering more food I really enjoyed all the flavors, especially ordering the regular chopped scallop roll after having the special one, and for a place that serves budget Japanese food you are getting good quality. Talking about the yaki-soba, it came out on a hot plate, steaming away with sizzle noise. It was pretty tasty, a tad on the sodium salty side, but it was a good balance of shrimp, onion, bean sprouts and cucumber, a good filler. After looking at everything we had to eat, we called the bill over, and it was very reasonable. For the amount we got, and the quality, I would definitely consider coming back here to eat, or even ordering takeout. You won't be impressed at the place when you come in, but that maybe a good thing, as you will be impressed after you have eaten here.

    Chirashi was soooo delicious and fresh! Glad I was able to get a seat here.

    OK, they go a bit heavy on the rice, but you get great cuts of sashimi! The toro was soft and luscious. Loved the white fish and salmon, too. Very nice. Seems the thing to do is to order in advance and go. There's something like five places to sit here. No lie. It is smaller than the typical commercial freezer. Hum...that's also likely why so many folks ordered to go. In all, a good spot. Great jasmine tea, excellent prices but be forewarned, the portion sizes are quite small, though the quality is good.

    I ordered through UberEats. For the price you pay pretty good portion. Flavour is good and quantity was good. If you need an affordable sushi fix this may be the place.

    Sketchy salmon nigiri

    Update - ordered again and got horrible food poisoning and was sick for 4 days. Scroll down, a few others also note they got quite ill. The health inspector informed me of several infractions including not keeping the fridges at the correct temp Everything we ordered was good -- but the wild salmon nigiri really turned me off w a layer of what I think was fat atop it...can't comment on the taste bc the visual appeal landed it in the dog dish..

    Recently office order.

    Came here on a Friday night on a whim as I used to live in the area. Apparently it's under new management. It's mainly a takeout joint but we ate in. Table seating for about 10 and seating along the window for about 4 and along the sushi bar (cannot see the chef) for another 4. Ordered an assortment of things from rolls to ramen to "cooked" dishes. The sushi is actually pretty good. We had some of the fancy rolls and they were good. Somehow there's a uniqueness to the flavors. Not your typical Korean-sushi drizzled in sauce. The spicy agedashi tofu and the chicken karaage were really good. The prices are actually really good and the staff were very friendly. Not much else to say I suppose. Giving it a 5 based on the fact that in the area, for the price (and given it's neighborhood focus) it's one of the better sushi places. I do a lot of ordering in for my office and I'm definitely going to try a larger order from here in the near future.

    Prawn Tempura
    Mima C.

    Our first time to come here. Despite waiting for awhile (25 minutes) for appetizers prawn tempura ready to served. Turn out it was the best tempura we had in a while. We ordered spicy combo, tuna tataki, sunomono (prawn and crab), plus sashimi combo. Very small restaurant. Was pretty busy but the food here is worth the wait. Food quality is certainly excellent. The fish is fresh and the rolls are filling with very good amount of protein and LESS rice which is even better. Again, we'll come back and one of the best Sushi spot we have ever been to in Downtown for easy and quick dinner.

    The tuna & salmon bowl and inferno roll was decent. But the California roll, bc roll and dynamite rolls were very "blah"... Kind of dry. The tamago nigiri wasn't all that great. I think my fav may have been the negitoro cone. I mean it's not horrendous food- I'd eat it if there was a gun to my head or if it was the only place open. But with soooo much good sushi in Vancouver... I would not willingly order from here again. I would give it a 2.5 if Yelp allowed half star ratings

    Daikichi Sushi is a very small family run Japanese restaurant. I think the restaurant may be able to seat like 12 customers. I have to admit my friend and I came here for lunch on Sunday and we ordered a bunch of rolls and I don't even know what we ordered! All I can say is the rolls were really good! We paid $30 and were stuffed full! It's a hike for me, but I would definitely come back for a sushi feast!

    Chirashi don
    Jeffrey K.

    Stopped in today for a chirashi don and negitoro roll. This small sushiya has been around for a long time but changed owners about a year ago. Service here was good, and the gentleman behind the desk was very polite. Order was speedy and they take cash AND debit or credit as you prefer. The area where you the stars fall off is unfortunately in the food. I'm a snob about two things I've been told, one is coffee and the other is food. So there, you've been informed. The negitoro roll had semi dry rice, the nori was not fresh and split after being rolled. The toro was okay but definitely not as fresh as the images from previous owners. Chirashi don was good. I actually quite enjoyed it. I left the squid because it was soggy, chewy an obviously recently frozen. The salmon and tuna was good as well as the egg. Sushi rice was the same and all the other sashimi was nothing I would come back for. The price was great, but if your looking for quality fishes, don't go here. To the owners, check your rice, and source your fish better. Up the prices by $1 on every item and you'll see much more business.

    Little sushi bar with 3 tables

    Well I am sad to have to say this place was a let down. I was going to go to Shi Zen Ya but a friend said he preferred this place. It's a small cute sushi bar ran by Chinese owners which is neither here nor there. As I sat down I asked the waitress/owner if they had brown rice. She said it was a dollar extra. When I asked if I could get the beef teriyaki with no sauce since I have a gluten allergy she said yes but the brown rice would be an extra $3 for the bowl. This was fine with me. I then told her I was waiting for 2 friends. The restaurant was empty but she kept harassing me asking where they were. In her defense the restaurant only has a bar and 3 tables but I waited less than 10mins for them. After we ordered and the food came my beef teriyaki had sauce all over it. When I told the waitress she returned it only to bring me another bowl with sauce on the rice and not the beef. I decided to just eat the beef even though I paid an extra $3 for brown rice covered in sauce I asked her not to put on. The beef was so salty I immediately had a stomach ache. Needless to say I didn't eat the rest of the food and went home to a terrible upset stomach and diarrhea. I gave this place 2-stars because maybe the sushi is good...maybe. And I feel bad giving any restaurant 1-star (which in my experience it deserved).

Every time I come, I can feel the professionalism and attentiveness of the staff. From seating to ordering, and then to the care during the meal, everything is done with great finesse, making me feel comfortable and at ease. The unique politeness and meticulousness of Japanese service are naturally reflected here. The food is also a reason I want to come back. Whether it's the freshness of the ingredients, the presentation, or the taste, you can feel the attention to detail. Japanese cuisine emphasizes the quality of the ingredients themselves, and Miku presents this refinement beautifully. Every dish is pleasing to the eye and has a layered flavor. I also love the ambiance. The overall design is simple, elegant, and has a very comfortable Japanese aesthetic. The lighting, seating, and spatial layout all create a relaxing atmosphere without feeling overly decorated; instead, they have a high-quality feel. As for the atmosphere, I think it's what makes this place so special. Elegant and quiet, yet not too formal, it's suitable for dates or enjoying a good meal with friends. Sitting there slowly eating and chatting makes the whole dining experience particularly comfortable. After several visits, I still feel that Miku is a restaurant worth returning to again and again. It's not just because of any one dish, but because the service, cuisine, environment, and atmosphere combine to create a very pleasant experience every time I come.

This visit we ordered the shrimp garlic fried rice, Agedashi Nasu, Grilled Squid with Garlic Mayo, and an assortment of sashimi. The shrimp garlic fried rice is an absolute must every time. It's packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and somehow manages to be comforting without feeling too heavy. It is a large dish and can easily be shared by 3-4, depending on what else you order. We also love the Agedashi Nasu here with melt-in-your-mouth eggplant wrapped in a light, delicate coating that soaks up the savory broth. Service is always quick and organized, even when the restaurant is busy. Dishes arrive as they're ready, making it easy to share everything around the table, which is exactly how an izakaya experience should feel. If it's your first visit, don't skip the shrimp garlic fried rice, and make sure to check out the daily specials before ordering. They often feature seasonal dishes that aren't available on the regular menu and are well worth trying.

As for the taste the spicy rose cream udon tasted exactly like Buldak Ramen's Carbonara flavor, and everyone at my table agreed. The garlic bread was nice tho.

I made reservations about 4 months in advance. Upon arrival, one of the hostesses opened the door for us, and asked us to wait in a very ornate waiting area. We only waited a couple of minutes before another hostess seated us at the main seating area. The space is very dark, and only lit with candles while the rest of the diners trickled in. During that time they take drink orders, which is limited to sake, wine, beer and a few non-alcoholic drinks. Of note, they don't provide a drink menu, so we were a little surprised by the cost - the yuzu sake and the plum wine were $30 each. My non-alcoholic drink was $12, but a fair size. The theatrical portion started a few minutes later than the official start time - closer to 6pm. The shades lifted, the lights turned on, and the chefs introduced themselves. And from that moment on, they immediately went to work preparing our meal. They operate like clockwork to show the ingredients whole to the diners, and then preparing them, and serving them. Soon as the one dish was completed by all the diners, the next round came shortly after. Over 20+ dishes, there was very little wait time in between each. Each time a dish was served, a hostess was there to describe the dish and provided tips on how best to eat it. The food was overall was very good. I thought a few items were very average, most of them were very good, and a select few were truly outstanding. Most of the ingredients are imported from Japan, so I would imagine that it's part of the reason it's so expensive. This is definitely a splurge meal. I think half the diners at our sitting was celebrating a birthday. On the most part, the food is very good, watching the chefs at work is part of the entertainment, and the service is excellent.

The food was great and I couldn't think of a dish I didn't like. The sashimi were so fresh and high quality. Of course they use freshly grated wasabi too.

The King Salmon was silky and rich, while the Truffle Lobster roll delivered a fragrant, buttery kick without totally overpowering the tender lobster meat. Their Salmon Oshi is also worth tacking on, nicely torched and balanced by the slice of jalapeño.

The Service Swift, polite, and well-timed. The chefs assemble each roll right across the counter and hand it over the moment you finish the previous one, so nothing sits around getting soggy. The floor staff kept water glasses topped up and managed the counter smoothly despite the constant turnover. The Ambiance Sleek, minimalist, and very photogenic. The dramatic wood-slat canopy hanging over the U-shaped concrete bar gives it an upscale, modern Japanese feel. Because it's strictly counter seating, the vibe is lively and fast-paced, great for a casual solo meal or a quick date, but less ideal if you want to lounge and chat for hours.
