    We tried Hime as a recommendation and we're so glad we did! The seating area is tiny, with around 8 tables, we were lucky to have a table available around 5:30 on a weekday. I would not recommend parties larger than 4 here unless you are prepared to wait for multiple tables to open. Service was quick and friendly for our party of 4. We ordered a variety of dishes from tempura, rolls, sashimi and handrolls. My party can definitely eat a lot of Japanese food and ordered enough to be full, for a little over $100 we were very happy with the portions and food quality. We will definitely be back when we're in town.

    Hime! Dropped in for the lunch special, runs ´t'il 4pm. Miso soup less than lukewarm. Rolls with yam and cucumber-nori inedible. Hime has dropped off our dance card. From our favourite neighbourhood sushi and Japanese food haunt...to avoid at all costs. Sad, so sad.

    I use to come to Hime Sushi (their other location) a lot when going to university in the area. After having not been here for almost a decade, I was in the area and decided to get a salmon and avocado roll and R got a tuna and avocado roll. I thought there was a bit too much rice on the rolls. Overall thought they were only okay and didn't find them to be anything special.

    Not my first time here but for some reason it was worse than when I last remembered it.. We came here on a late Monday night wanting to order a few things to share. I remember I came here a few years ago but I only ever tried their prawn tempura and it was decent. But these dishes we ordered that night were less than mediocre to say the least. But at least they look nice on camera? Overall I felt that this place was overpriced for the quality. We felt a little bit cheated at the end of our meal that everything was less than mediocre but the prices were a bit higher. I wouldn't come again but at least we know for next time. SALMON BATTERA OSHI SUSHI This was the prettiest but also the worst one we ordered. The salmon pieces on top were soo hard and dry. The rice was also extremely hard and dry. In the middle of the rice they put cream cheese in it... which I never heard of oshi sushi having cream cheese in it. It was not tasty and overpriced ($13-14). Tasteless and dry unfortunately:( I recommend to avoid. FIRE DRAGON ROLL This wasn't bad and was a chef's special roll on the menu. The sauce was decent but it didn't taste anything special. TAKOYAKI This was actually pretty decent and yummy. Big chunks of octopus and extremelyyy hot inside the middle so be careful! ANAKE TOFU Deep fried tofu with a yummy sauce and bunch of veggies (carrots, mushrooms, zucchini, etc.). Very yummy, especially the sauce on top. CHOPPED SCALLOP NIGIRI This was actually not bad - the portions were huge and scallops were huge/creamy as well. TORO NIGIRI Toro tasted low quality and had a few bone pieces in the fish. Didn't like this at all one bit.

    Okonomiyaki - Japanese seafood pancake was big and filled with a lot of seafood! I recommend this
    Salina S.

    Went here randomly and was pleasantly surprised! Everything we ordered tasted great! Good service and atmosphere. I would definitely come back to try more items on the menu. Poke sashimi salad was small but tasted delicious. Okonomiyaki - Japanese seafood pancake was big and fulled with a lot of seafood! Some places will skimp out and have it mainly batter but I was impressed with this one. Scallop roll was good too.

    Spicy chopped scallop cones

    I was craving for Sushi tonight and couldn't decide which one I should try for.... Hime or Sushiyama? We walked by and checked out both of it then decided to go to Hime. Glad that we picked the right one! The food is so good for such reasonable price and the service is excellent as well. Everything is high in quality and very tasty!! Of coz, we ordered quite a bit of food for 3. Ankake Tofu - Deep fried tofu with Japanese mushroom on top (it's so crispy outside, soft and smooth inside. But, the crystal sauce was sweet) Ebi Mayo - deep fried prawns with yams in house salad sauce (the presentation was good and prawns was tasty) Okonomiyaki - Japanese style seafood and veggie pancakes (Delicious) Ika Kara Age - Japanese style calamari (it was ok, just a bit dry) Sockeye Sushimi - It was fresh and tasty (but not enough varieties of sushmi) Spicy chopped scallops cone - Was big and spicy, the seaweed still quite crunchy. Sushi - All were good. Dragon Roll - California Roll on top of Eel with avocado (Nice and yummy)

    As a UBC student, I come here way too often, sometimes 3 times in one day that I get a membership card which makes me think it's time to write a review. This is the only place near campus that I know for sure won't give me food poisoning and always has very good quality and fresh fish. It's expensive but for the quality and good portions, I'd say it's pretty decent. The sashimi is always great and I enjoy eating here with my friends often. The service and atmosphere is always nice as well. If you're looking for good authentic Japanese food this is a pretty good place to go to.

    The Sakura Spider Roll - ridiculously pretty, ridiculously delicious!
    Ayla C.

    Hime is a perennial favourite for me - one of my best friends lives just around the corner and I can't count the number of times we've gorged ourselves here! This evening, my dining companion had never experienced the deliciousness so I happily suggested we go. The sushi rolls are always beautifully presented, fresh, and tasty! The staff are attentive and courteous - my complimentary green tea was swiftly refilled every time it was getting low, and my empty miso soup bowl disappeared before I even noticed! My only complaint is that I'm so full right now I can hardly move - how dare you make your food so yummy! (I'll be back... And soon...)

    Ebi Mayo and Salmon Nigiri
    Guislen M.

    I go to school at VCC so I love coming into Hime for a quick lunch. I didn't realize how popular this place was because you can't really see in from the window outside so it took me a while to gather the courage and walk in. Just wanted to say that it's really cool that the people who worked there are actually Japanese so it says a lot about the quality of their food. I almost always order their chicken teriyaki donburi during my breaks because it comes out rather quickly and isn't very fussy. The price is very easy on my college-student wallet. Their teriyaki sauce is the sweetest and the portion size is perfect. I'm also a fan of their chicken karaage, ebi mayo, and salmon sashimi. They taste how they should. When I have time I like to indulge in their green tea ice cream. Unlike most would-be Japanese establishments, Hime is clean and well lit and not at all sketchy. And unlike the high-end Japanese tapas, they don't yell at you when you come in. When I sit at the bar I like to listen to the sushi chefs banter in Japanese - it kind of adds to the experience. Their servers are very sweet girls and they never pressure you leave.

    love the teacups

    Sashimi prices are pretty good ($6 for 5 pieces of salmon) and the slices are generous. The $9 nabeyaki udon was tasty, hot, and teeming with toppings. Should've been 4 stars based on the food, but service imploded into nonexistence when the restaurant got really busy. I think one waitress thought the other was handling the check so it took ten minutes to pay our tab.

    Asari pasta.
    Peter V.

    Tiny portion. Got Asari pasta from door dash and was 12.50 and barely had claims. Will not be coming back.

    Tea and neko.

Not just for great sushi, but really affordable prices as well. Yes, the wait for a table can get long. We waited about 45 minutes, and there's no area to wait except outside or go take a walk since they will text you when your table is ready. I also appreciate seeing where my place in line is through Yelp! First, a shoutout to the wonderful service here. Everywhere I go in Vancouver the service is great, but the server here was so friendly, helpful and efficient. The ambiance is really nice here and I love the place settings! We had a lot, so here is my breakdown: Spicy Agedashi Tofu - lightly fried tofu in a sauce that reminded me of gochuchang sauce. 7/10 Gyoza - crispy fried with a pork/veggie filling. 6/10 Karaage chicken - on the bone, but delicious nonetheless. Served with a mayo sauce. 7/10 Tuna Bomb - 10/10 this came out last because it takes longer to make. This is an absolute must-do. Crispy rice patties with a spicy tuna spread that you just place on the rice. Salmon jalapeno aburi hako - 10/10 I have been excited about this since I heard about it. The seared salmon on top of rice with a shrimp tempura running through the middle. The salmon and sauce on top melt in your mouth. Red Dynamite Roll - 9/10 this was my brother's favorite. I wanted it to be a bit spicier, but that said it's still so amazing. Mango Flower Roll - 9/10 if you like mango then you will love this. This also just melts in your mouth and that mango is just so fresh. California roll - 8/10 as great as a California roll can be! No complaints here! Rainbow Roll - I didn't get to try it, but my niece gave it a 10/10! I will definitely be coming back here again.

I counted maybe 36 seats. The interior is nice but generic enough to be just about any type of restaurant. The menu accessed via QR code. I ended up trying the following: - Assorted Tempura: Good. Light batter, but slightly overbrowned. - Miso Black Cod: Good. More elaborate presentation than most, but very small piece. - Salmon Belly Sashimi: Very good. Fresh and delicious. - Tom Special Roll Tray: Very good. A great way to sample all the different roll, all which are very good. I thought it was reasonably priced and could adequately feed 4 people. Service was very good. There are a LOT of staff, so we were constantly being checked on to make sure we were happy and got anything we needed. Overall a good meal. It doesn't classify as the best sushi in Vancouver, but I can see the quality-value ratio might be the best in the city. All the food was quite good and certainly not overpriced. I imagine the high staff count was due to the overwhelming amount of takeout orders. I would return.

Each piece gets torched over charcoal which gives it this smoky, melt-in-your-mouth quality, and the specialty sauces mean you don't even reach for the soy (they will also say to your face not to, so unless you want to endure their judgement--which my husband happily does--I'd stay away from soy sauce for the aburi. Their salmon oshi is well known, I love the ebi oshi the most but definitely get both and decide for yourself. The whole menu delivers though, from the sashimi to the rolls to the cocktails, all of it beautifully plated without feeling fussy. The space is nice too, took a big group of family here once after an event and they all loved it. And if you're here in the summer ask about the garden patio out back. It's an elevated experience but never stuffy. Perfect for a date night or when you want to treat yourself. Reservations are a good idea because it fills up.

The roll we ordered was fine, nothing to write home about. Happy hour pricing makes this an accessible way to try Minami's menu. That said, I left feeling like I'd rather spend more for items not on the happy hour 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.
