Cute and accessible place to dine in. Good quality and amount of veggie sushi for the price! I recommend their yam roll. Service over the phone was good, I requested to switch a roll for another roll and they did so gladly. read more

Joy Sushi - Veggie Party Tray - Japanese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

This is a really cute restaurant in Burnaby. They do have dine in and their meals are actually quite reasonably priced. Although with the cost, comes smaller portions (or atleast I've noticed for the sushi rolls compared to other sushi places I've been to). Having said that, they do have additional charges such as an extra charge for extra sauce or different sauce, or if you are dining in but want a box to take the remainder of your food home - they charged $0.50 for a box. read more

Joy Sushi - a tray of sushi and cucumbers - Japanese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

I placed an uber eats order from them this evening. My order was around $80 and let me just say that money went in the garbage. We ordered $20 sockeye salmon sashimi that was slimey, discoloured, and rubbery... clearly old. We received prawn tempura and yam tempura that had been double fried and pretty much brown in colour.... The gyoza tasted like plastic... it was even properly crunchy it was bubbly and stale.... The rolls were not good either and stuck together... seemed to be stale as well. Very disappointing and ruined our family dinner night for sure. read more

Sushi place by Gilmore SkyTrain station. Parking isn't free here. Should've checked the back of the building. Sucks. Interior looks quite modern. Staff are friendly. Looks like they're Korean. Ordered the sashimi bento box. Miso soup is quite tasty. Salad is pretty tasty as well, with the avocado slices as well as the sweet cucumber dressing. Sushi quality is decent but the pieces are snack sized. See photo. I'd say 3 pieces here equals 1 piece at Samurai in Vancouver. Think I'm going to sleep hungry tonight. read more

Great Japanese spot in the Brentwood area. Wide variety of menu items and affordable pricing too. You take a seat, browse the menu then order and pay at the counter. They will bring your orders to your table. Overall, we had a pleasant first experience and paid less than $40. We ordered the following: chicken teri bento box, chicken teriyaki don and Jessica roll. I enjoyed my bento box while the hubby enjoyed his teriyaki don and Jessica roll. Do note that the chicken teriyaki is lightly breaded and deep fried before doused with sauce. I had to peel of the breading as I try my best to avoid gluten. Portions were quite big and sushi (inc. sushi in the bento) tasted fresh. Update: We've been to Joy Sushi 3 times in the past two weeks (one was for pick-up) and food is consistently good. The hubby loves their chicken teriyaki and has ordered it every time (yes, he is a creature of comfort HAHA). On the other hand, I've tried their chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki and salmon teriyaki and all three were great. Their bento boxes are a great deal too so that's a good option if you wanna have variety. read more

I want to like this place but somehow I find it a bit ho-hum. There are lots of choices for the bento boxes which are very decent, and value for money. The food is nice but pretty much what you can get elsewhere. I had the sashimi bento box twice and they were ok. Despite calling for take out, there is still a bit of wait for the food to be ready. I will only come here if I am in the area, not a place to drive all the way out to. read more

This is my go to neighbourhood sushi spot. The bento boxes are delicious and all come with miso soup. The teriyaki chicken is fresh and the tempura box is nice and crispy. The rolls aren't as big as sushi garden but the quality and flavours are excellent. The prices are affordable as well. They are also very speedy with service. A really well run family business with high quality food at great value. read more

Joy Sushi - Teriyaki chicken bento box, salmon tuna combo and chopped scallops - Japanese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Ordered a salmon sashimi, tobiko and masago nigiri. It was fresh and average sized portion. All together it came to $25 incl tip. The sashimi wasn't slimy and service was great. read more

Good prices for decent sushi in the Burnaby area! This place is really small but they had very good prices for special rolls, bento boxes and cooked dishes. We ordered a daily bento and changed the cucumber roll to a negitoro with a small add on price. The beef was a little bit tough and sparse but overall, it was not bad for the price. Unfortunately, the tuna was a little fishy but not bad! The special rolls were the best as they were well priced and tasty. The scallop tataki and tuna tataki were both yummy and their john roll was a good melange of flavours! We got a final chicken katsu don and there was a nice large chicken cutlet with a good balance of rice ration. Overall, the prices are good but their fish quality is not the most amazing. Decent though! read more

Fresh, quick, delicious with fair prices. Kind staff, good location. Will definitely be back

Love supporting local businesses especially during the last two crazy years. Joy sushi is a tiny restaurant on Dawson in the Brentwood area. The prices are average compared to most restaurants. I've only tried the sushi here, and was a bit disappointed on the quality and size of the sushi rolls. Their rolls tasted okay, but are about the size of a kappa roll... which is pretty tiny! Also the BC roll was mostly dry salmon meat, when it's supposed to be crispy salmon skin! Not somewhere I will be back to visit. For similar prices, and larger sushi i would recommend just sticking with Sushi Garden! read more

Really great crunch roll and crispy roll highly recommend!! This is a local joint in Burnaby and I would definitely come back. The food is always consistent and full of flavor! read more

Came here for lunch and it was delicious! You order at the cashier, then find yourself a table. Tea is self serve as well. There are fewer than 10 small tables, but it wasn't too busy when we went around noon on a Friday. Yam cream cheese roll: creamy, crunchy, and slightly sweet. Yum. Tuna gommae: love that the sauce is not too sweet (I hate sugary sauces)! Fresh spinach with good tuna. I would order this again. Toro and wild salmon nigiri: good quality for the price. It's not a big piece of fish, but it was satisfying enough. Parking: there is metered street parking on both sides of the street read more

Recently order from here via Uber Eats. Extremely disappointed. The salmon don has paper thin slices of salmon on top, max 5-6 pcs. For a similar price to the salmon sashimi you'd expect a similar amount of salmon. I called and was told there is less salmon because there is extra cost to the rice and veggies (if you can call paper thin cucumber slices and tiny pieces of pickled radish veggies). I'm all down for supporting local businesses during this tough time but this meal was truly disappointing. read more

Cute sushi joint located in Brentwood. Pleasantly suprised how fresh their sushi and sashimi were. I really enjoyed their chicken teriyaki. Not your typical teriyaki; the chicken was breaded and tasted like a tonkatsu..yummy! The salad tasted unique. They added avocado on the salad with light seasoning. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I think the only issue is finding parking and parking around this area is metered (unless you come around 8:00 PM then it's free). They accept card and cash. read more

It is the best for the price you pay. Very accommodating staff and quick. They are also nice. It is my first time ordering here and they do not fail my expectations. Highly recommend! read more

Joy Sushi - Chicken Bento Box - Japanese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Just had our second take out order. We've been eating sushi at least once per week for over 30 years. Did not order during the whole Covid and finally tried a big takeout after a 5 month hiatus. We figured to try a new place. Both times we ordered 3 party trays for pick up. Both meals were 5 stars. The combination of quality-variety-price make this a real good spot. The Great Joy party tray (is actually 2 trays) and makes an awesome meal as it offers variety for everyone. The quality of the pieces is there. Hokkigai is juicy, salmon is red, scallop chops are loaded, tuna is not fishy smelling. The rolls are different and taste unique from one another. Most importantly, the rice is good. Someone in that kitchen knows what they're doing. The Crispy Joy roll is gone in 30 seconds at our table. Next time we are ordering another one on the side. Lady even threw in some edamame....nice gesture. We will be back. read more

Had slightly higher expectations of this place, but it turned out just average. Maybe it's what I ordered- I honestly kind of regret not just going along with a bento or some good old fashioned nigiri. My order- the fish cutlet set- was just... Boring. I don't know how else to describe it. Believe it or not the best part of it was the salad. The biggest problem was that the only sauce for both the fish and the croquette was kewpie Mayo. After a few notes, it just felt like a Mayo coma. There was no lemon to cut acidity, and the salad wasn't enough for the huge pile of fish. I ended up just getting half of it taken out because I couldn't handle any more Mayo for the day. The miso soup was weak and watery. Do not recommend. Salad on the other hand, was good. The dressing was delightfully tangy and I liked the avocado and tomato that came with it. My advice is to just lay it back on the Mayo. Make some more sauces. It can't be that hard. read more

Small boutique Sushi place by Gilmore station. Korean runned and nice variety of choices. There are also 2 tables outside. You can also get take out. I had ordered the Joy Combo which was california rolls, dynamte rolls and a few peices of nigiri. Quality is decent for a budget sushi place. Would come back, similar quality to sushi garden, California Sushi but not as busy. Parking out front which is metered. read more

Ordered on a Monday which means everything should be fresh since they are CLOSED Fridays Saturdays and Sundays, which I find super strange. Wouldn't those be your biggest days? Anyway California roll Had rice that tasted a bit stale and dry. The pieces were small as well and just wasn't very good all around. The dynamite roll was better but I found a big rotten piece of lettuce in one piece. Not as good as my local place and more expensive. Not enough wasabi like most places but kudos for enough soy sauce which often isn't enough. I just wouldn't return. read more

Came here with friends and it was surprisingly good! Brought more friends and visited this place 3 times in two weeks. Not gonna sugar-coat it - this place is a hole in the wall. Not for first dates. Bring your friends or your long term partner. Favourites are: * Unagi Flame Roll - the whole roll is on fire, fuelled by sake. I like how dramatic it is. The eel and scallops are lightly seared, which taste amazing. * John Roll - another tasty and dramatic-looking roll! The Crispy Joy Roll is pretty good too. Jalapeño Roll is alright but doesn't taste as exciting as it sounds. Tuna and Salmon sashimi are quite good - above average. read more

We did not want to wait for an hour at Sushi Garden for dinner. We were ecstatic that we found this dig nearby in Oma 2 - a building where I had invested in a presale unit in the past and did well. The venue is small but clean. The family was very welcoming and hospitable. There was no wait. My children with selective palates actually enjoyed the menu selection. The food was good. Menu items were affordable. What more can one ask for. We visited again when we were in town because my kid requested for it. Thank you for the great service! read more

Awful service. Has one or two decent take out. However, I paid 8.50 plus tax and received this. I arrived back to work and opened up my takeout container and couldn't not believe it. I usually don't complain but felt like I had to. Gave them a quick call and said that this wasn't what I expected. They mentioned that the tobiko is sprinkled like that for decoration. NO. The menu clearly stated that it is topped with Tobiko. The sushi was falling apart and I just couldn't eat it. I called if they could just remake it and they offered me a refund. They told me I could just toss it- which I did. And they called back to tell me to return the sushi (during covid). I could hear the owners in the background refusing to give me a refund. It was just an overall bad experience. read more

I was expecting much more after reading the reviews... do not understand them... First time I came for lunch I got a bento, it was just okay. Good price, but not great. Second time, I went for something else, and ordered Kalbi Don. Still, not great. The guys in the kitchen are very friendly, however the girl at the cashier and who brings the food once it's ready seems to be embittered... no need to see a smiley person when you go for food but... what an expression!! I do not think this place works for anyone that has to drive here, like I did: street pay parking, line up and order first, and just average food. read more

A quiet street during the week. Sun setting. Sushi craving. In Burnaby. This equals Joy Sushi. Clearly Joy's is used to serving take away rather than sit down customers, but the sushi is still delicious, as is their sashimi. However, it's not a place one necessarily decides to sit down and absorb the atmosphere, which is neither eclectic nor offensive but just plain. Nonetheless, the quality of the fish is really great and I'm sure the regulars periodically entering the establishment who clearly the staff knew understand the benefits of Joy's. So take away, gleeful on the expectation of wonderful sushi delights at your your home table. If you're a townie you probably know this - if you're an out of towner, grab the fish and go - you're not missing anything. read more

Never ordering at this restaurant again!! I ordered a spicy salmon don for take out, it costed me $9.71. It was 90% rice, 5% salmon, and 5% veggies. The salmon sashimi was the thinnest I've ever seen! There were 6 thin pieces of salmon sashimi (1/8" thick) which equivalents to one single slice of salmon sashimi you would get anywhere else. Normally, spicy salmon sashimi comes mixed with the spicy sauce but oddly not at this restaurant. The spicy sauce was separated in a small plastic container. I would not recommend going to this restaurant. They rip their customers off like no other! read more

I've been to-go these.  The rolls are so delicious. Especially, I recommend adding the spicymayo sauce!! I like the tonkotsu ramen soup because it's very thick. read more

Brand new place or at least brand new to me. This is very close to the train station. I came here before eating dinner at another either because sushi is more a dietary compliance where I was supposed to go for a friends birthday. I wanted to make sure that I was fed and I was healthy compared to where were supposed to go. I got my usual avocado roll and fried tempura. It wasn't busy and the service was a bit slow but I managed OK because I planned at least 40 minutes and advance to when I was supposed to meet up just in case I would plant been terms. Prices were reasonable read more

There are a lot of similar sushi places in the area but what sets this little mom-and-pop Korean-owned place apart is the staff (owners and waitress). They are very nice and it's a cozy eating environment. Portions and prices are good too. read more

Decided to try a new sushi place and stumbled on this gem near work. A huge menu and it was tough to choose but opted for a delicious sashimi bento box and spicy agedashi. I grabbed a take out menu so I'll be more prepared next time. read more

The portions were much larger than most other local restaurants, and for the same price. The staff was very friendly, the place was cute, and I had no trouble parking. I ordered at 7:30 and my food was done in 10 minutes, which was a huge plus. BC roll was my favourite, and the tempura was crispy and much nicer than others I've tried. Two could eat for $20ish without too much trouble. read more
