This was my second time trying aburi oshi sushi, my first time was trying it at Miku (Vancouver) a few days ago. I was never in a rush to try this style of sushi because of the high rice to fish ratio. Plus, I believe in the balance between how hard the rice is pressed to hold together without being too dense is an art in nigiri type sushi. My friends and I came as a party of 5 and ordered the signature aburi combo, seafood salad and udon. Maybe I'm still new to aburi style sushi, but I honestly think that the sushi served at Green Leaf is on par with Miku's. We waited approximately 40 mins to get a table, which is understandable as we went at ~7pm on a Friday. If I'm ever in Vancouver again, I'll make sure to come again! read more

Green Leaf Sushi - Signature abruri combo - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

In this small little restaurant is amazing food! I was surprised by how good it was. I was visiting Vancouver with my cousins and we stumbled upon this lovely sushi joint with thanks to Yelp! We came here for dinner one night and surprisingly we were able to sit down right away. The service was great too, the server kept checking up on us. We ordered: Green Leaf Signature Aburi Sushi Combo: A variety of different sushi and rolls that include salmon, tuna, ebi (shrimp), Saba, Hotate, etc. Most of them were seared, but TRUST ME they were all so good. One roll even tasted like pizza! Tuna Tataki Salad: Very refreshing! A little hint of vinegar, soy, and some type of citrus! Full of umami flavors. The salad, the tuna, and the toppings gave it a good texture as soon as it hits your mouth! Uni Bibimbap - The first time I had seared uni was in Japan and the taste was just as similar to this dish! The creaminess and the saltiness, it just went well with the rice and other ingredients. I did wish that they gave more uni BUT I know, Uni can be expensive. I was definitely surprised at how much we enjoyed ourselves here. Like I mentioned earlier, I was skeptical thinking the sushi wouldn't be as good but it was. If you're visiting from wherever, you must take a chance on this place! read more

You're on drugs if you come here for regular sushi. You come here for the aburi sushi. Deep fried gyoza? Check! I don't know of other places that do that. This is the first time I've had deep fried gyoza based on my terrible memory. Chasu aburi sushi? Check! If your'e a fan of pork belly. It was leaner than what I was expecting, so a pleasant surprise it was. Pushing borderline 5*****. The quality is definitely up there close to the high end Japanese restaurants such as Minami, without the price. read more

Green Leaf Sushi - Adding to the 470+ photos - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

It may look like your small neighborhood sushi joint, but it is more than that. This place serves aburi sushi, which is a bit different because the sushi is flame seared. That's interesting because previously you only found that at a couple of high-end restaurants in town. But it doesn't end at the aburi, everything else that we ordered was also extremely good, we'll be back to have the OMG roll again. They are serving some top notch dishes, but the prices are not exorbitant. Expect a bit of a wait because it is a small place, and it is getting very popular.

I have been coming to green leaf for years! It is one of my favorite sushi spots in Vancouver because of their reasonably priced selection of delicious aburi oshi. Both the quantity and quality of the food is amazing and has stayed consistent throughout the years. For dine in, the staff is friendly, and food comes out pretty quickly. For take out and delivery, the food is alwawell-packaged with care. It's a sushi spot I would recommend anyone coming to Vancouver. read more

I think they're most well known for their battera sushi, or at least I go there because of that. The sushi is always delicious and prepared with the same standards each visit. Highly recommend getting one each of their battera. It goes well with beer. Service is prompt, but you have to flag down your server. They also get really busy before covid and the restaurant is tiny. So I do recommend making reservations. One thing I didn't appreciate was their open kitchen, all the torching of battera and deep frying smell flows right out to the dining room and onto you. My glasses are covered with grease every time I leave the place. Overall good food, priced a bit on the high side, but worth it. read more

Our fave takeout sushi by far! We've ordered it so many times and have rarely been disappointed. The fish is fresh and so worth the little extra $ to get a good sushi meal. My go to is the sashimi and sushi combo - comes with four nigiri and three pieces tuna sashimi and two pieces salmon sashimi and a miso soup. Their miso is flavourful and salty with actually big pieces of tofu and seaweed. So many other sushi joints just give you miso broth no seaweed no tofu. The fish here is always so fresh and not once have I ever questioned the quality of the fish. They give hearty servings of ginger to go with each order too. Highly recommend ordering from green leaf if you're ever in the mood for some really great takeout sushi! read more

Yummy yummy! Got their salmon oishii, unagi oishi, as well as their tamagini roll. Salmon oishi: 4/5 - pretty good. The sauce was lacking flavour. Perhaps a bit more searing? Somewhat decent amount of fish for the price. Unagi oishi: 5/5 - liked this better. More fish and I liked that the sweetness of the unagi sauce was complemented by the spicy sauce. The fried garlic chips were a nice addition as well. Tamagini roll: 5/5 - this was actually my favourite! Unagi on top of a roll with tamago (Japanese sweet egg) and cucumbers. It came topped with a few tamago cubes but Chicken karaage- 5/5. Okay first of all who can say no to fried chicken? Crispy light slightly salty batter blankets tender moist glistening chicken. The burst of lemon complemented the creamy mayo well. Mmmm!! Delicious! And the size was perfect for sharing. All in all would I come back? Yes!! read more

The best sushi on Broadway HANDS DOWN. There's always a long wait line for a good reason. Specializing in ABURI SUSHI, the aburi here is seriously top notch... Super fresh fish, perfectly cooked rice, gorgeous flame sear... I cannot resist. I personally think the aburi is better than miku pricewise and taste wise. Spend your money here and thank me later. I used to work near Green Leaf and would always order their sushi takeout... I miss it! I need to go back soon and order their salmon aburi... Highly recommend the Aburi Platter if you ever need to bring a sushi party tray somewhere! read more

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

This place was a huge recommendation from my friends in Toronto and Vancouver and now I can see why. Green Leaf Sushi is known for their Aburi Sushi and the freshness of their fish meat. I came here with a few friends and we got a few appetizers to start. The salmon sashimi and the tempura shrimp meal. I definitely tasted the freshness and quality of the salmon here. It also gave a great hue of light orange which you don't see as much at other places serving sashimi. The tempura shrimp was a good opener, while a bit salty, the crunchy texture of the tempura was great. Now for the man course, we ordered the Green Leaf Signature Aburi Combo. The combo is total around $65 but you get roughly 38 pieces of Aburi and 6 different types of it. Even for 3 people, this was a lot but was worth. If you didn't make a reservation, you can expect a wait time of at least 15mins-35mins. The space itself is quite cosy. read more

It's alright. Doesn't really taste authentic and it's a little bit too sauced up for my liking. I prefer when the fresh fish is the main focus of the dish. And for the price, I'd prefer other a la carte places. read more

Green Leaf is a great cozy little spot for sushi! Since the space is smaller, I would recommend group sizes no more than 4 people. On a Saturday night, there was already a light line at 6pm! Get there early if you want to avoid the wait. Service here is quick and staff are kind :) For two people, we got three things and barely finished! We ordered the OMG roll which will definitely gives you an "OMG" response when it comes out haha. It's actually a pretty big portion size and we could barely finish it! But the way they deep fried it is pretty good in my opinion since it wasn't as heavy as the other tempura'd rolls i've had at other restaurants. I love how this roll was STUFFED too. We also got the salmon oshi! Definitely worth trying - they sear salmon and its cut into these cute little rectangles. I loved the little jalepeno slices they put on top of each oshi. Adds a nice kick in there! :) Their takoyaki is fabulous - comes out piping hot but I loved how their takoyaki was on the lighter fare so you don't feel like you can't anything else once you've finished! Overall, a great place for sushi and a little pricy but worth the splurge! read more

WOW love their oshi sushi. So delicious. This place is in my hood and I have heard my sister tell me how delicious their sushi was and I didn't even give it a try until now. I was amazed. The place is small. Very limited seating. But we came here before 5 pm and got a seat right away. They have the Green Leaf Sushi platter for $21. Or you can get that combo with all their aburi sushi on it for $65 (definitely worth picture taking). Price is at the higher end but its totally worth it. Its like Miku food but still not quite there (at least its cheaper than Miku). So this is what we ordered Tuna oshi Teriyaki chicken on rice Tempura Came to $30 for 2 people. Portion size was standard. Food and taste was yummy. The teriyaki chicken is different than anywhere else. It has onion that made it taste different. Tempura not bad. Freshly made. Tuna oshi my favorite out of the three dishes. Need to come back to try other things on the menu. Also not the restaurant is a bit humid too. But I don't mind it. Thumbs up read more

Whenever I come back to Vancouver, I would always make sure to pay a visit to this unique Sushi restaurant. They specialize in Aburi sushi which are slices of fish seared by an open flame on a block of rice. The wonderful fragrant oils of the fish seep into the rice and provide a delightful and rich flavour. Each fish had its own sauce that was cooked and seared under the flame as well. The most special item from Green Leaf is definitely the Mango Scallop rolls. Each roll was filled generously with scallop with fresh mangos wrapped around each one. Additionally they were topped with avocado purée which combined an incredible fresh, sweet and umami filled dining experience. If you are in Vancouver, this roll is one of a kind and you must come to try it. read more

- High quality sushi that's a bit over my price range lol - Food: 5 Price: 3 Service: 4 Ambiance: 2 Food: 5 We ordered Green leaf platter, beef tatami, and the avo-toro roll for three. The roll was delicious, though it was hard to split since there were 8 pieces. There were also sprouts on top of the rolls, which is rare to see as an ingredient for sushi. The beef tataki slices are half cooked and half raw, which was surprising since most places serve it completely raw. We enjoyed it nevertheless, and the sauce was good. The green leaf platter comes with six pieces of nigiri with seared salmon, three pieces of fish fillet tempura, and six pieces of sashimi (3 pieces of tuna and 3 pieces of another fish which I cannot recognize lol). All of them are delicious, and my fav was probably the seared salmon nigiri! Price: 3 Compare to other sushi places run by Korean, the price here is higher. However, I think this place is unique since they have some interesting dish that's similar to the ones I've had from traditional Japanese hotels, the ones that showed creativity. However, the price range is a bit higher than what I normally pay for sushi so it's probably only good for special occasions given that I've felt like I haven't eaten much despite the fact that we've spent like $50 something CAD. Service: 4 We were there at 7, and the waitress came out to show us the waitlist when we stepped in the restaurant. The waitresses are friendly and provides good service, but thy do seem quite busy, so they didn't notice our tea cups were empty. Ambiance: 2 I'm really not a fan of their chairs and tables. The chairs were super hard without cushions, and it reminds me of my elementary school!!! Honestly they probably bought the same ones that use at school!!!! And the green walls are really meh, and thy have no AC, so they had to keep their windows open at all times.. Overall: 14/4= 3.5 I would come again if I'm not too hungry, I think it's a good spot to talk to friends who come from out of town. I would avoid coming here if I am really hungry since waiting 40 minutes for slightly more pricy food is never my style lol! read more

HOW did I not already write a review for this place? I've been here so many times, and I actually drive up from Seattle for this. Green Leaf Sushi is knowns for their Aburi sushi, and I've taken the signature combo every time. It's a good choice if it your first time there and are not sure what to take. However, I've come to know my favorites: the scallop (hotate) and the salmon ones. They just MELT in your mouth! All the rolls I've tried were bomb too. My favorite is the avo toro roll. The mango scallop roll is very interesting too, but they do put a little too much puree on them. There has always been a wait whenever I came here, so be prepared. You can leave your number and they will call you when the table is ready. The service is great, and the price is right. Highly recommend it! read more

Green Leaf Sushi Cafe is honestly one of my favourite sushi spots in Vancouver. Everything I've ever ordered from there is delicious and great quality! The Salmon Oshi Sushi is my absolute favourite and a must-order for me! I also love their Crunch Crispy Roll and Spicy Crunch Ebi Mayo! We have also tried the AAA+ Beef Tenderloin Tataki, Prawn Tempura, Hot Night Roll, Salmon & Avo Roll, and Red Leaf Roll - which are all yummy. In my opinion, I love this location significantly more than the Burnaby location. We live in Burnaby but would actually drive 30 mins to this location vs 10 mins to the Burnaby one. We like this menu better (there are more items we like that aren't on Burnaby's menu). And just comparing the Salmon Oshi between the two locations, there is such a difference.. Kits location tastes so much better. read more

We needed to find a place to seat three and we called and heard they didn't take reservations, meaning reservations wouldn't take us down (raisu and kbbq were fully booked). We were told we'd wait 20, and it was only ten, and they were really nice about it. We were served our food within 15 minutes after ordering. We all got our Miso soups really quickly too. It was a really small place and really busy, so I was surprised we were all served quickly too. I ordered The Green Leaf Platter and Tako Yaki ($26), which was surprisingly a large portion and surprisingly very filling. The appetizer Tako yaki (octopus pancakes) an experience. I can appreciate the taste and my friends liked it but I think it was a bit too mushy for my liking. No fault on the restaraunt, just something I'd rather not try again. The platter came with tasty tempura snapper, some sashimi, and a daily roll I can't remember the name of but was pretty darn tasty. I'd say for $26 this dish was a great deal. The meal was good and the price was super reasonable. The daily special tasted unique and Tako yaki balls were a fun experience. The one thing I'd din the place for is being too small and crowded. It didn't feel like a restaraunt id recommend as a must see cause it felt a bit cramped and nothing WOW about it on the menu or inside. However strong 4 in my books and would recommend as one of the better places to go in kits. read more

Despite the small store front, the Kitsilano location can fit more than it seems - around 15-20 in capacity. Usually during the summer the store has high wait times, however now delivery from the store is more convenient. I ordered a salmon oshi sushi, a dynamite roll, and a tofu salad (not in picture). The sushi does get cold when deliver but this can be easily fixed by heating it up for 15 seconds, making it just as delicious as in store! Dynamite roll good portioned for the price. If you are deciding between a salad, I highly recommend the tofu salad. The salad has a variety of soft tofu and marinated tofu skin. There's some pumpkin crisps for texture and pea sprout for vegetable variety. The salad is topped with a sesame dressing that perfectly finishes off the salad. read more

It was my first time and my birthday and I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! Easily my favourite sushi place alongside the Eatery right across it! I really want to go back and try more dishes. My favourite two rolls have to be the salmon aburi and an unagi roll with tamago in it. I had never yet tried salmon aburi so I was so excited! It turned out to be my favourite roll there! The restaurant is also very cute! It has a woody, natural vibe that suits their "Green Leaf" side of their name. I hope to try their omelette soon! Note that they are really busy so there may be a long wait for it, but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

another foodie outing with the my foodie girls s and a. there was alr a short line when s and i arrived - a was trying to grab a table for 3 but the server had to wait for all of us to be there before seating us. once seated, we sorta knew what we wanted but the staff does rush you a little bit. understandable since the restaurant is on the smaller side and they want faster turnover. there was a lot of takeouts/pickups happening and the kitchen was pumping out orders pretty fast so no worries there. it was sad to see the menu tbqh - a lot of the items were sold out. the items that were sold out are the udon, donburi and grill items. we werent there for those items but it def sucks for anyone that wanted to try those things and made the long trek to the restaurant. we all agreed that we order the aburi platter plus the kani ume oishi. the order was done up super fast and we got our food in like 5mins. out of the 6 on the platter - all of us like the basil oishi the most. all the other rolls blended tgt in terms of flavour even when we ate ginger as palette cleansers in between. the kani was...there was real crab in it? all in all, i feel like lougheed location would prbly have a better variety of food. read more

This place gets really busy at dinner. It is a pretty small restaurant though so get there before 6 pm. We ordered the sushi for two platter. We started off with miso soup- decent with lots of seaweed and tofu. Then the salad came and it was a decent portion size. Presentation is beautiful for all the dishes. Then we got a tray of sushi - rolls, aburi, sashimi and nigiri. The salmon aburi was really good but the pieces are pretty tiny. The nigiri was quite good. The sashimi was room temperature so that kind of threw me off but it was still good. Then we got fish tempura and it was delicious. It was definitely enough food for 2 people. Prices aren't that expensive and totally worth the price tag. Service was definitely good. Multiple servers came and asked us how our meal was. read more

You MUST get what they're famous for: the Green Leaf Signature "Aburi" Combo! Not only does it look amazing, it taste amazing too. My friends and I have never tried aburi/pressed-style sushi before so we were super excited. This place is a lot smaller than I expected. As we arrived there, they told us it was a 30 minute wait, but we were seated within 10 minutes. Wasn't too fond with how we were a party of 4 but was seated at this table that barely fits 4... A+ for presentation! Best believe we had a mini photoshoot before we ate. The Aburi Combo comes with 6 pieces of 6 different Aburi oshi: salmon oshi, basil ebi oshi, yukke tuna oshi, sime-saba oshi, hotate oshi, and one roll (8 pieces) of the aburi tobiko. So much for such a great price! My favorite was the yukke tuna oshi. So light yet so flavorful. I also recommend getting the OMG Roll. It's huge! Deep tempura'd fried roll with prawn and salmon, crab meat, and avocado. Keep in mind, you cannot substitute any ingredients. The one thing I had a problem with the sushi was with how the pressed sushi kept falling apart every time I picked it up with my chopsticks. It did get a little messy trying to handle that. But everything tasted excellent. Great sushi for a great price! You bet I'll be coming back on my next trip to Vancouver. read more

Green Leaf is one of those restaurants that you will always recommend to friends who are visiting Vancouver. I've only been here a handful of times because it's not close to where I live but every time I go, it just gets better and better. Their wild salmon sashimi is my favourite, but of course I will be writing about what they are most famous for - their aburi sushi. If you look at the photo I am posting - yes, I finished it. All by myself. If I knew my appetite was actually so big that day I would have gone for their combo, which is a whooping 6 aburi rolls for $65 I believe. I ended up ordering these a la carte: hotate (scallop) oshi, salmon oshi, sime-saba oshi and yukke tuna oshi sushi. My favourite is always the scallop. All of these just end up melting in my mouth the moment I put it in. Absolute seared goodness. No soy sauce needed, I would say just eat it as is because each roll already comes with its own sauce on top. Decided to write this review because I wanted to note their excellent service - out of the 3-4 staff they had on the floor that day, each one checked on me throughout my time there. It's a small space so if you come with more than a party of 2 I would be prepared to wait. I also wanted to note that since my last visit (approximately one year ago), they've really improved their aburi sushi because it used to fall apart relatively easily. However, when I went this time the sushi rice stuck together and I ate it with no problem. Always a favourite. read more

Went in for lunch. Good food. Service was okay. Mom and I shared the green leaf platter and the tempura and Cali roll lunch set. Everything was presented nicely and tasted good. The sashimi was really fresh. We got tea refilled frequently. One thing is that they brought the bill to us without us having to ask for it and we felt like we were being rushed despite it not being busy with only three other tables occupied. read more

such an amazing sushi joint that hits all your flavor profiles! incredibly jealous that nyc does not have aburi style sushi - torched & pressed with crowd pleasing fish. mackerel, scallop, salmon, eel are to name a few of your options. if you're here with a buddy (preferably 2) i urge you to get the aburi combo. these perfect rectangles are filled with the right texture, umami, and textures depending on which you order. my favorite one was the scallop - creamy, savory, and a hint of sweet. okay, the mackerel one is up there as well. JUST TOO HARD TO DECIDE. as for the normal rolls, i only ordered the eel roll & spicy salmon. the spicy salmon was soo spicy that i couldn't taste the fish. my taste buds were on FIRE, and felt that they literally mixed a lot of sriracha with some kewpie mayo and fish. as for the eel roll it was pretty standard. i arrived here at 6ish pm, and by the end of dinner time there was a small wait. they have this restaurant on uber eats, and you betcha i had to get another fix in before leaving vancouver :). highly recommend for their aburi sushi! read more

One-line review: Fresh and tasty, but overpriced for what you get. This place has been very busy both times I've tried to eat here, so I figured it must be good. Food quality was good, but portions were small and prices did not match. We had: j- Salmon Oshi sushi - A duck dish - A special roll with tuna and tempura crumbs The food was fresh and decently seasoned; there just wasn't enough of it -- a no-no at these prices. Service was attentive. Parking on street at meters or free if you don't mind hunting in the neighborhood. Bottom line: Better options at this price point and for sushi. read more

Everyone has been raving about this sushi restaurant since I moved away to San Francisco. They're known for their aburi sushi. There is always a line! Be prepared to wait. This time when I'm back, my cousin and my sister and her boyfriend got 6 different orders of aburi, raw octopus, and the grilled duck, and the sushi roll. I absolutely loved the salmon aburi with cheese that's lightly grilled on top. I loved the grilled duck dish since they provide rice and it's almost like putting together a duck nigiri sushi. I highly recommend it, for it's fun flavours and many aburi options. read more

I have been here twice. The first time, it was decent. I came with someone who is not a huge sushi fan so we stuck mostly to the rolls. That visit was 4 years ago. Fast forward to today, and I was in the mood for, what I remember, as good sushi. Two of us stopped in, waited for about 10 minutes for a table. The service was good. The fish, not good. The sashimi was very cold, actually frozen in the middle with ice crystal texture. Due to the somewhat frozen nature, the fish was wet. Each bite released water into your mouth. The fish itself did not have any flavor. We didn't eat all the pieces. We ordered two spicy tuna hand rolls, something that we do at every sushi restaurant. Please don't order this. Actually, if management is reading this, please decline to make this. The nori was wet and chewy from sitting on the counter too long before being served. The spicy tuna was heated and flavored with sriracha. Sriracha was the only flavor that came through. You might as well given me a straw and a bottle and said, 'drink.' As we left there, my wife said that she "...might be done with sushi for a while." It was just that bad. What did I learn today? With so many great Japanese restaurants in Vancouver, how does a place like this get away with serving such poor quality and stay in business? read more

Kimchi + Cheese Udon I didn't know what to expect but I'm glad it was this size and I love they chose the thin udon instead of the basic round one! It's not super filling and right amount of Kimchi. I also like the bits of garlic chips they put in their so it wasn't just Kimchi and cheese flavour. Red Dragon Roll I feel like I could've gotten this roll elsewhere and the spicy tuna was definitely lacking some sauce Tamanagi Roll I remember ordering this last time it was here and tastes exactly like how I remembered it. Unagi to tamago ratio is equal and not overpowered by too much rice at all Salmon Oshi and Sime-Saba Oshi Can't go wrong with these two! Always consistent and true to the fish's taste. read more

I was driving around on my last day in Vancouver and this seemed like a nice place to try. At first glance everything seemed nice and I would normally give it 4 stars except that the service was abysmal. We ordered the combo for 2 ($45), it comes with 2 miso soups, beautifully presented salad, snapper tempura and the main dish is an assortment of sushi. I also had a plate of Beef Donburi since it's a dish Irarely try. No issues with the food, though the sashimi and nigiri portion is not what i'm used to in Vancouver. The main issue is that there were at this point plates piling up everywhere that none of the waitresses would pick up, they kept bringing more dishes but leaving the old ones there. When you calculate 2 miso soups, a large wooden salad bowl, a tempura bowl, a donburi plate it adds to a less than fun experience. The water and tea were not re-filled unless we had to flag them down , same thing for a Coke (no beer licence). We barely finished the Sake Ice cream since parking is only allowed for an hour on Broadway here. The service took that long even though they were not busy. read more

I've been to this location and the Burnaby location and I must say, my recent visit here was quite disappointing. After waiting 40 minutes for takeout, we went back home excited for our meal. We untied the bag, opened the boxes, and... well I don't want to leave you hanging, but that's how I felt. We ordered the duck miso yaki, salmon oshi, and a crispy roll. - Duck Miso Yaki ($13) was sad. Maybe the chefs watched the Matt Damon movie "Downsizing" and thought I was LEGO size, but the portion did not justify the price. A few thin slices of duck, a thick layer of onion, and a small heap of rice. - Crispy Roll (~$10) was definitely not a "special roll" as it was nothing special. It was a dynamite roll with some crispy bits on top. - Salmon Oshi ($12) tasted good, but I don't think it's worth the price. We had a few pieces fall apart when we picked them up. I was at Yui Japanese Bistro two weeks ago and the oshi were around the same price, but definitely better quality. I think Green Leaf is very popular because of their oshi. With so many restaurants offering oshi now, I wouldn't say Green Leaf is a top choice for me. I would rather pay a little more for more authentic and higher quality food. read more

Coming from Toronto, getting sushi is a top priority when we visit Vancouver. We have been to greenleaf three times and have suggested others to visit as well. Unfortunately the quality of the sushi has gone down over time. On our last visit we were disappointed to see that the fish on the aburi sushi was very thin with most of the pressed sushi consisting of rice. Their customer service was also poor, they had a very disorganized approach with seating customers. With all the sushi places to eat in Vancouver, would not recommend greenleaf again. read more

I have been going there consistently for the last few months and have never been disappointed once. It is quick and extremely kind service every time. They have extremely reasonable prices and the food is delicious. Could not ask for a friendlier staff either. The atmosphere is very relaxing and they always make sure to keep you cup full! read more
