A decent non-Japanese owned sushi restaurant but for one mistake.... I ordered the special on the chalkboard, to go - a dynamite roll, 4 assorted pieces of nigiri and miso soup for $10. The fish tasted fresh although my piece of ebi nigiri had a strong cleanser/disinfectant smell associated with it. Whatever the cause of it, it was very off-putting and it went in the trash. Everything else in the meal look and smelled okay and was quite tasty. I guess a cleanser smell means they use a cleanser which is a good thing, but it doesn't have a place on the food. 2.5 stars. It would have been a solid point higher without the funky cold nigiri. read more

I've been here a couple times. I only order the aburi platter! I dont know how to explain how yummy it is!!! I feel its definitely comparable to miku, minami, and kishimoto aburi's ! This place is really addicting. I would recommend making reso ahead of time :) read more

Green Leaf Sushi - Heaven - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Anyone giving less than 5 stars are likely smurfs from competing businesses. I have been eating here weekly for almost 2 years now and use Green Leaf as my benchmark for quality when attending other sushi restaurants. The service is extremely quick - the owner often throws in a few complimentary pieces if service is a little slower. Takeout is always ready when promised. Biggest pieces of nigiri I've ever had. Number 2 combo (Dynamite, Nigiri, Miso) is very filling. Highly recommend to anyone in the area if you're looking for a delicious dining experience. read more

Didn't quite meet my expectations. The aburi Oshi sushi platter definitely looks amazing however many of the pieces fell apart when trying to eat it which was disheartening. The beef tataki I found to be very "oniony". Also tried some kind of starter sampler (don't remember what it's called) which had a nice variety of items to mix things up. As far as service goes, they definitely are efficient at clearing empty dishes and refilling our tea. 3 stars!! read more

High food quality and good proactive service. Very worth to come. But do so early because it's popular and fills up quickly. There is a cool variety of sushi and different types of udon. My friends and I ordered the Green Leaf Signature "Aburi" Combo. 38 pieces for 65 Canadian dollars or $49.40. More than enough for four people and definitely worth the cost. There were six flavors. One of them even tasted like shrimp pizza. I ordered the kimchi cheese udon, which turned out pretty bland but it was still interesting. Instead of it being covered with kimchi flavor and cheese, the noodles tasted more like they were dipped in oil with slight flavor. The others ordered beef teriyaki, takoyaki, gyoza, and spicy seafood udon. The dishes all looked really good. Apparently the seafood udon had too much chili powder in the soup. Servers were also really proactive by asking about food allergies and whether we needed any more wasabi and ginger. They seemed really genuine and sweet and attentive! read more

Sushi is okay. Salmon oshi is way too oily as it had puddles of oil underneath when picked up. Hot night roll was pretty good. Pricing is alright. Found a string floating around in my cup of water too. read more

Green Leaf Sushi - Salmon oshi was good but ridiculously oily! Here you can see all the oil puddles left after picking up the oshi. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I don't know why- maybe I get the short end of the stick every time... but the food is always mediocre, and nowhere near generous fir the price despite everyone's recommendations. Previous time I visited, there was a very strong gas odour (propane?) maybe from the open kitchen. This time it was less evident, but still there and the heat was quite unbearable. Sitting next to the open door helped, but not by a lot. read more

Good fish prepared well, and some intriguing items that go beyond the same old. I tried the $8 California & nigiri combo. Will be back to try something more adventurous. read more

Green Leaf Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

We got the aburi combo as well as the mango scallop roll and OMG roll. I'm from the southern states and it amazes me how delicious sushi in Vancouver is. The OMG roll is deep fried with a good amount of crab in it. I don't typically like deep fried sushi, but this one is probably one of my favorite deep fried ones. I liked the mango scallop roll because of the sweet and tangy flavor that makes it a very unique sushi taste. I can't remember the names of the individual sushi in the platter, and all of them were very good and had distinct flavors, but I'd have to say that my favorite was the one with all the sprouts on it and the rolled one. We also got the spicy bibim gyoza (which were kind of like dumplings) and they were pretty good too. Atmosphere of the restaurant was very cozy. Some of the tables were picnic tables. read more

This is a secret gem that I was told about and I am so glad we checked it out. The salmon Oshi is to die for and there Red Dragon roll will not disappoint! So tasty read more

This is my "go to" sushi spot in Kits. Their salmon sashimi is on par with any of the "name brand" sushi places in Vancouver. I also love their "crunch crispy" roll, and the teriyaki chicken is great. But for true sushi lovers, their sockeye salmon sashimi is outstanding. Pieces are HUGE and the prices are great. Just a note: no alcohol, so if you're like me, and like a beer with your sushi, get it to go and enjoy at home with a cold Sapporo! read more

I wrote my first review about this place 2 years ago. I rarely write updates but this place deserves it. 2 years later, I believe it's the best sushi in town. Period. They are busy during dinner times - it may be difficult to get a table. It's still not cheap but the quality remains outstanding. I've brought many friends here and we always left satisfied and in wow. The place is super clean. The owner, Leo, takes quality of food seriously and food is always fresh. The presentation is always beautiful. The service is quick and friendly. Actually, majority of the staff is the same as back 2 years ago. I've tried most of the menu - my most favorites are Tuna & Salmon sashimi and No. 5 Roll. Vegetable tempura is great too. Compared to The Eatery across the street, Green Leaf blows them out of the water, in quality, taste and overall value. read more

Haven't heard of this place despite living nearby, but got to try it. Seems like I was the only one out of the loop--there was an half an hour wait. Come early because people are seated The first time I went, we ordered the aburi combo ($65). The classic Instagram photoa of aburi on a wooden board, yeah, that's Green Leaf. It came out quite quickly fortunately and was delightful. Different kinds for you to try and the price is fair. The second time we came, we ordered individual aburi sushi that we liked (scallop, shrimp w/ cheese) and nigiri. And this time we found that the fish was good but the sushi rice was poorly prepared. It separated from the fish effortlessly and fell apart when we picked it up. Service is friendly. read more

Used to be very good, with good food and reliable service. Sushi is still pretty good, but they seem to have forgot that service matters. Totally disinterested in their customers. read more

Aburiiiiiii!!!!!iiiiiii!!! My friend has been eatin here for awhile now and not to be out done i had to try it out. They don't take reservations so it is a first come first serve place. Came as a group of 5 and they got is on a table of 4 which we were absolutely ok with. We ordered their platter aburi which is a deal and had all their aburi style sushi. The scallop was great, the salmon amazing but the best was the truffle! The only one that wasn't as goods the others was the tuna. We also got the seafood salad which like their green salad doesn't come with a lot of sauce... Fortunately you can ask for more and there is no extra charge! The steak tatake was done just right with just enough ponzu sauce. It's a must go place! read more

Best sushi I have had in Vancouver. I really can't wait to go back to try more off their menu. Their oshi sushi selection is a must try on your first visit. It can get busy, so come early or make sure you have a reservation. Although I appreciate the amazing presentation - they try to put your entire sushi order on one giant board - I would have preferred receiving food intermittently as it was prepared, because it meant we had to WAIT A LONG TIME for our order...I was getting hangry! On another note, the restaurant is small and they need better ventilation coz it was HOT in thurr on a brisk autumn evening, and their bathroom was one of the worst I've seen for cleanliness...it just looked so dirty. Floors and walls need freshening up peoples! Otherwise, excellent food. But don't come, busy-up the place and get in the way of me and mah sushi! read more

The waitress's attitude and the store manager was really bad. We ordered the pick up and waited for about 2 hours without any explanation and read more

This is the BEST sushi place in Vancouver EVER. High quality sushi, unique sushi rolls, and extremely friendly workers. The only downside is that food takes long to make, but this is fine if you are just catching up with a friend. The food is also on the pricier side, but that is also because it is higher quality. I once took my nephew here (who was 1.5 years old at the time), and the chef showed him a tiny blow torch (used to sear tataki)- hilarious and friendly. My nephew loved it. read more

September 13, 2019 - 5:30pm. I almost swallowed a piece of blue plastic thread, about 2" in length, that was hidden inside my seaweed salad. They didn't seem too worried and they did not bother taking it off the bill. I expected much more from them, especially considering my previous dinners were nice. I doubt I will be back. I won't pay good money for plastic in my food. read more

I came here on recommendation a few months ago from another elite Yelper. For starters the place is modern, clean and holds a traditional element. They have common menu items, however, there are some "outside the bento box" items. Of course I stuck to the usual avocado and cucumber rolls. Prices were decent for what it was. The presentation was amazing and clean. Customer service was awesome. read more

You can never go wrong with their Oshi sushi. It's a small place but great food. Will go back for sure!

I'm not surprised that all the reviews that have been made in the last month have all been poor vs. All the reviews that have been made prior are all good. ( more or less ) this is simply because about 1 1/2 months ago this place has changed ownership. Easy to tell once the menu changes, the staff changes, the dishes that remained on the menu aren't even made the same way anymore. Example the spicy tofu agadashi used to be lit ! Now.. no chance. The portions all smaller, doesn't taste like there's love in the sushi here anymore, and more expensive on top of that lol. I must have been here at least 10 times, always leaving happy and knowing I'd be coming back. Now, After eating here after new ownership took place; me and my wife unfortunately lost another good place due to new ownership. :( The last couple reviews I just read tells me I am 100% rite on how I felt and on my read. What once was a Jem of the west side, now is just a name of what once used to be. Let this be a lesson learned. read more

My absolutely favourite sushi spot!! Their aburi set is absolutely delicious along side with the beautiful presentation. Their other dishes are also amazing. The nigiris also always taste fresh and are paired with the perfect amount of rice. I would 10/10 always recommend this place to anyone! read more

We came in on a Saturday afternoon, and it was a full house. Luckily, we had made reservations ahead of time. The service was quick and fantastic. Everything was reasonably priced. We really enjoyed the assortment of Aburi Sushi and will definietly return back for more. read more

This is my go-to sushi place in Kits. The service is always friendly and prompt, regardless of how busy they may be. I especially enjoy their salads, and the way they "plate" them make it great for sharing. The specialty rolls and sushi taste fresh and are put together very well. Not your typical "California"-style sushi. Prices are very reasonable and the portions/sizes are definitely worth it. read more

Wow, some of the best sushi I've ever had. Very fresh and unique maki. I also really liked that they specifically called out wild sockeye salmon. read more

Very solid sushi, could do with a bit larger serving size for price. Very tasty and good.

Whether you sit in this vibrant little restaurant or take the tasty rolls to go, you're going to have an incredibly flavourful experience at Green Leaf. This is our go to spot for sushi and it has never once been less than amazing. Locals and Vancity newbies alike love it. Of course the sashimi, nigiri, and classic rolls are delicious but what really knows this place out of the park is their special rolls. Favourites are Rose & Lily, Washington, OMG, and pretty much any roll served with their signature wasabi & peanut sauce combo. Please do yourself a favour and try this place next time you want to try a new sushi joint! read more

Sushi here was amazing. Fast and friendly service , great presentation and fantastic taste. The green leaf combo was awesome. Can't believe I found this place and it's five minutes from home. read more

I love love love their sushi. I have been a regular for three years since a friend recommended it. Before the place hired new staff and got all hip and popular with the crowds. The jazz they play adds to the charm of the place, but its a bit small and these days too overfilled. The food remains delicious though so I would visit again but maybe not on the weekend. read more

Green Leaf Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This place is a gem! Came here last weekend with a friend as we were trying to avoid the busy hype-up atmosphere of the Eatery close by. My friend and I took forever deciding due to the all the choices we had. They menu on sushi was quite extensive, and on the board, there were combination specials. I did think some of the prices were on the pricey side (especially comparing to the generic sushi places in Richmond), but as soon as the food came, we understand why. My friend and I ordered gyoza to share, as well as a combo each, and while my friend's combo included miso soup, and mine didn't, the server brought me a miso soup on the house. I'm sure it didn't cost them much, but the gesture was really appreciated. Shortly after that, the server brought us a roll on the house, crab and vegetables wrapped in a lettuce leaf, and it was delicious. By the time our actual ordered food came, we were already a little full. Our combos turned out to be amazing, the portions were large, and everything is fresh. I think one of the sushi rolls in my combo is the Crispy Crunchy roll, and both my friend and I thought it was excellent. Both my friend and I ended up bringing quite a lot of our orders home. This place is small, but the sushi is very creative, and fresh, and the atmosphere inviting, and they certainly do everything to make sure their customers feel happy and welcomed. read more

Some delicious dishes to be had here at this quaint little sushi joint. Strolled in on a Friday night at about 830 and there was only a 5 min wait. The food took a while to come to the table (they seemed to be making each order as it came, one at a time, rather than grouping several similar orders together) but the manager noticed that we were getting hungry and gave us some free gomae and wakame without being prompted. Bonus points for that. We ordered the salmon aburi, beef tataki, green leaf house roll and toro sashimi. Aburi salmon was good -- It wasn't Miku good but pretty up there. The beef tataki was pretty top notch. Beef was super tender and flame seared. The house till was ok... It seemed so plain Jane compared to the tataki and aburi salmon. Toro was just ok as well. Some of the pieces were still frozen but it got softer after we let it sit for a while to defrost more. I would definitely go back to try the other rolls and dishes. (The aburi sampler and saba yakitori looked delicious!) Only gripe was that I found it rather difficult to get our water and tea filled. Aside from that minor thing though I would totally recommend this place read more

I have not tasted such a delicious chicken don until now! I'm not sure if I was starving or if it was tasty as it was. I will need to come again for this dish and update. The sauce is on the sweet side, which some people may not like. My friends and I shared the special, kimchi beef gyoza. Would also recommend for its taste. The ladies serving that day were very attentive and refilled our drinks often. read more

Small neighbourhood sushi joint known for their aburi sushi. No same day resos as it is a small place The prices are obviously cheaper than miku / minami at $12 for each kind of aburi sushi. So of course quality is lower too. I find that the aburi sushi here falls apart really easily. I enjoy the food here and I recommend getting the aburi platter to share + some amaebi aburi sushi. One thing I don't like is how bad their ventilation is! (If there is any at all) At busier times, I can actually feel a bit of the smoke in my eyes. Needless to say, your clothes will be smelly when you leave read more

Amazing aburi (flame torched) sushi, pretty indistinguishable in freshness and quality from the real stuff we had in Japan. We got the double decker salmon and the vinegar-marinated mackerel, and both were amazing. Also, shockingly fast service. We received our food within 10 minutes of ordering. And it was clearly freshly made. Small and prone to lineups, but the food is legit. read more

This place is definitely the best sushi spot in Vancouver. Everything is fresh and service is always good. They recently added oishi sushi in their menu and while it is not as good compared to Miku or Kishimoto, it is still pretty good. They have jellyfish salad which I was reluctant to try at first, but now I am hooked! It is absolutely delicious! The place is small and they can get pretty busy therefore I would recommend making reservations. This place is good for take outs as well. read more
