    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

    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.

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.

    Very good experience. Love to go again with my family every month . love the experienceread more

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.

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. If you like your noodles al dante I don't think it'll quite fit your taste but I personally really enjoyed it! 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. 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. Other than that however they're very kind.

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.
