    Sashimi and sushi
    Nelson C.

    Ok so I came here with my coworkers. My coworker said this was the best California roll out she had as it wasn't fishy and for imitation Crab like everywhere else it as the best. For myself I found that the portion size of the sashimi was very large. Everyone at the table agreed that the presentation was wonderful. Service was great. The restaurant is still the small cozy spot that I wrote about before.

    I've been to Green Leaf a few times but I've never had their Aburi Platter, which is what they're known for, so this time I got it to share. We also got a tako wasabi to try but I was a bit disappointed as it was served in a shot glass (the serving was quite small). However, because I've only had it one other time elsewhere, I don't know what the standard is supposed to be. There weren't many octopus pieces and it was mixed with a crunchy ingredient I wasn't able to identify (maybe it was a vegetable). The aburi platter came with 6 different kinds of aburi. There was one with shrimp, pesto and olive, which I thought was a bit strange but overall it was filling and decent. I got my tea refilled throughout the meal, which was nice and the restaurant is still small and cozy as I remembered. Now that I've tried the aburi platter, I think there are better places to get sushi, but this is a good local/nearby choice.

    Aburi platter was worth every penny. Great variety and incredible flavours. The salmon and scallop ones were especially my favourite while my partner liked the mackarel and the aburi roll. Definitely want to return to try more items!

    We decided to pop in because we love pressed sushi. They say us right away and it was a quaint little spot. The service was wonderful. Our server was really knowledgeable and accommodating. The food was in a lovely presentation and was reasonably priced.

    I still feel like this place is overpriced. I will say that the salmon oshi has consistently slapped (been good) throughout the years. However I did not love the "basil prawn" oshi. I might be wrong but it tasted like it had Parmesan on it, and it was reminiscent of a pizza. It even had an olive on it. I feel like this place is best to visit with a few friends; that way everyone can order a different roll and share. The workers are quite nice.

    Loved this! Devoured this with a group of 5 people. So good, even for someone who doesn't love sushi like me. I liked that the salmon was a bit cooked so that helped with the raw fish element for me haha. Would recommend for sure if you're in the area and want some quality sushi!

    Ambiance and food is good as always. However, we didn't particularly enjoy the service because while I was trying to have a catch up conversation with my friend, we were interrupted several times by the waiter asking if we wanted more tea (first time they asked we hadn't drank yet so our cups were still full). We were having a great time catching up and to our surprise and the waiter's, the waiter commented that we actually finished all the food we ordered. My friend and I were not pleased with the comment, but brushed it off. The waiter then came by again and started clearing our dishes, asking if we wanted the bill while I was still eating. They then mentioned to us that there are a lot of people on their waitlist and when we look around, half the restaurant was empty with no one waiting outside. We felt pushed out. We will likely continue ordering from Green Leaf Sushi, but would not recommend dining in if you're wanting to enjoy your time which is very unfortunate when enjoying good food.

    Assorted Oshi Sushi
    Janet M.

    Went as a group of four during dinner time on Sunday. We were pretty surprised that it was not that crowded. We ordered the assorted oshi sushi and the tornado omelette. The assorted sushi is solid, but not mind blowing. The shrimp was my least favourite, the flavour just does not blend very well. Tornado omelette was pretty good although I was expecting the egg to be more fluffy and creamy, it actually feels too much like white eggs. Could be improved with cooking it less. My friend said the sauce is a bit too sweet, definitely on sweeter side but perfect for me. Service was good, always full out water.

    What's a good way to wind down after an intense workout? I'm no expert but apparently in my head at the time I decided I wanted nice fancier sushi. I managed to get my way because I happened to pick a restaurant with space for a large group on a Saturday. That is the story of how I ended up at Green Leaf Sushi. Theatrics and humor aside, I was quite familiar with the restaurant. I've heard it's notable for having good quality aburi sushi. To test this theory out, my group ordered a ton of it to share. I'm kinda like Joey in that while I don't hate sharing food, I do like having my own thing to make sure I don't take too much from everywhere else. That said, I was totally satisfied with how good the food ended up being. The tempura was probably the best I ever had. Very light and delicious. I think I had one piece of every sushi and all of them were excellent. I loved the salmon aburi especially. A little bit on the pricier side for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Green Leaf. I'd happily go again to treat myself to a very nice meal.

    Aburi sushi platter

    Good sushi and value. Not a huge place, but cozy and friendly/attentive service. Their aburi sushi could benefit from a little more fish per piece but the flavours are very good.

    Pavithraa R.

    Great food, cute unassuming little restaurant, and friendly service. The oshi sushi is a must try.

    Salmon sashimi and salmon aburi = $21 incl tax
    Carmen P.

    Small 4 slice salmon sashimi and a 6 piece salmon aburi was amazing but holy hell pricey at over $21 without tip. Definitely recommend for a special occasion.

    Sandy T.

    Came here right before they closed for lunch and they told is that we had to finish eating by closing time so that was a little turn offish. Ive been wanting to try the sushi so we just ordered a couple of rolls to try. We loved the variety of aburi sushi and the combos were good. Sushi itself is on the expensive side but the food was good. The fish was fresh and the flavors meshed well together. Before we came i had looked at the menu online but when we arrived the waitress said certain things like the udon noodle wasnt on the menu so my son didnt have much options to eat so i ended up ordering him tamago sushi. He said it was okay.

    Guu with Garlic has become one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Vancouver. It's an energetic…read moreizakaya with a fun atmosphere without feeling over the top. One of the best parts is the ever-changing menu of daily specials alongside the regular menu, so there's always something new to try while still coming back to your favorites. 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.

But in other parts of the world the meal is what's important and so is a quick turn around. Guu with Garlic reminded me a lot of the Izakaya restaurants I found under the train lines of Tokyo in many ways, including the amount of time it felt right to stay. The food came out quick, the servers took orders quicker, and the alcohol came out chilled and as nice contrast to the hot food. Looking around and you see the hand written menu on blackboard surfaces on the walls and this feeling of authenticity. The heat of the flames from the kitchen can be felt and seen if you sit at the bar. And the flavors just hit all the right notes. Starting with appetizers, a section izakayas shine at, the first dish we got was their scallop and mayo pizza. With a crispy crunch on the bottom and crust, this reminds you of the flavors of a baked volcano roll or scallop roll you can find in almost any North American sushi restaurant. Just like that dish, it's important to eat it while it's still hot so it doesn't get gross and 느끼 에. Then came the yellowtail tuna "tempura" pieces. Thick pieces of yellowtail tuna flash fried for just the right crisp on the outside with slight pink of the fish inside. It is meaty without being oily or fatty. Great bite. The beef tongue after was interesting. From the color of the sauce it accompanies it you would think it would be heavy in flavor but it is actually light and citrusy. A good cut into the richer tones of the beef tongue. The yaki udon was one of the best I ever had. It was smokey without being overpowering. The beef was thin and tender and balanced well with the mushrooms it also came with. The udon noodles stayed bouncy and chewy which I didn't expect from being grilled. Very tasty and highly recommend this dish. For our final bite we shared a hot stone bowl of their pork and cabbage rice. With the hot stone bowl constantly cooking even after this dish arrived it was imperative to stir the ingredients together constantly for the first two minutes. It allowed for the runny egg to meld with the rice and the crispy texture of some ingredients was a nice bonus. All in all, I loved eating here and if my appetite was bigger I would've tried more on their menu. A solid place to eat with a great atmosphere, if you're looking for delicious food that won't take too much of your time but still lingers in your memories you have to check out Guu with Garlic.

I thought it was a nice change of scenery to be honest also I did miss some items I originally wanted and planned to try. There were some of the main dishes, like the bowls, and also mainly udon.

The udon in both the curry and rose cream udon was very soft and tender as well, tender than what I usually have for udon.

To be completely honest staff and workers aren't very attentive, the restaurant wasn't full and I could see the workers standing around. Our table had to ask for water multiple times.

    I went here for a special occasion dinner. Reservations are highly recommended because they are…read morevery small - 12 diners per sitting and 2 sittings per night. 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.

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.

People who haven't been to an izakaya may think it's loud and noisy, but the point of izakayas is they're supposed to be vibrant, high energy, and filled with cheerful chatter.
