A long standing sushi restaurant in Yaletown and for good treason! The seafood was fresh and rolls were all super unique! Ume - my fav roll of the night. I loved how unique the flavours were with the addition of the pickles and plum Diablo - classic and fresh spicy tuna roll Kaide - lots of seafood on the inside, wished there was a bit more cream cheese because I almost forgot it was supposed to have any Big bang - another fav of the night! The addition of the lemon and crunchy bits made it a full flavour experience Maple - I'm used to BC rolls but never had a BBQ tuna roll before! Definitely a good twist of a classic If you're looking for a place with tempura and teriyaki, this is not the place for you. Expect fresh seafood, appetizers and sushi. read more

For me, this place fell below the current standard of Sushi Vancouver. The overpriced Miso Soup was so concentrated that... I couldn't eat it (see pic.) I say overpriced because the $2.50 for a Miso Soup is above current prices in the city....moving on.... The Sushi itself was decent, but the environment took away from the quality of the dishes. It was dark, gloomy with lights burnt out and dusty tables. Our server was unfriendly and rushed us from beginning to end. The first thing that hit me after walking out disappointed was the thought that this place just needs some serious TLC. Maybe dust it off a bit.....metaphorically and literally. read more

i happened to walk by this place & decided to drop in and grab a bite and i'm so glad i did! i only had a few pieces of nigiri (salmon, tuna, & toro) but they were incredible. the basic tuna was out of this world. i would definitely come back with a bigger appetite and gorge myself on it. read more

Absolutely delicious nigiris are found here! The two kind servers and the sushi chefs are looking out for your taste buds and they would want up to get their local BC uni ($6). It is often sold out but it's probably the best Uni you can get in town. I don't want to rave too much because I don't want my Uni to always be sold out but this place deserve the recognization. read more

Kaide Sushi - Uni, Saba, tuna sushi pieces and eel roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Invited my friend for a birthday dinner here due to the rave reviews. Kaide is tucked in a dense treelined boulevard near the end of Richard Street and has a very finicky hours of operation due to perhaps its target customers-workers. They are closed at 8pm. We ordered sufficient of nigiris, sushis, sashimis and rolls. The waitress wasn't very fluent in English and got a few orders wrong and overcharged us. But ok it was rectified upon some lengthy finger language involved communication. Service was exceptionally slow perhaps due to lack of staff or too many customers. 1 wait staff. Could be logistics or difficulty of hiring these days. Food quality is nothing spectacular, I would say it is average, they tend to skip the mayo in the rolls. Reminds me of Korean owned sushi joints. Okay. It's a try not a must. read more

I came here for dinner with a friend on a weekday evening because of the excellent Yelp reviews. We decided to get a half order of salmon and tuna sashimi as well as two rolls - mako roll, rising sun roll. Overall I found the sushi quite fresh. The rising sun roll was quite unique in that there was no seaweed at all which was a first. However I did not find the special rolls that unique but thought they were quite tasty regardless. Friendly staff and stop by if you're in the area! read more

ATTENTION TOURISTS: This place is not a culinary destination for out of towners but totally solid for your weekly rotation. Vancouver is blessed with so many sushi restaurants that this place is just average at best. There's nothing special about this place (no special rolls, techniques, flavours, etc) but it is decently fresh and good quality ingredients. My group had a variety of stuff (nigiri, rolls, sashimi) but it's the same as other mom and pop places so I won't get too much into it. The tuna tataki however was a little strange since it was big thick pieces of tuna on top of a salad with a yuzu sauce. Tasty but not a must try. The only other thing was that it had a weird smell when we walked in, like they were trying to cover up the sushi rice smell or maybe from the vape store next door? You get used to it after 5 min or so but it definitely threw me off initially. If I lived in the area and wanted some sushi I'd come here but don't bother if you're from out of town, it's a waste of a meal imo. read more

Was staying in central downtown van city and was looking for great places to eat some sushi for dinner. Little did you know, I eventually stumbled across Kaide Sushi. After seeing that it had consistent great reviews and amazing 5 star comments, I encouraged my crew to try it. We made a reservation for 7, which they were very friendly about in making quick accommodations. We headed over and they already had a table set up for us. Service was great right off the bat! Food: I orderd salmon sashimi cuts, and dynamite roll. Personally ordered this because they are my two favourite in general. AND BOY OH BOY! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! The cuts were fresh, thick, and amazing. Flavourful. I can't find a fresh fish place like this in Toronto... mmm!! My friends had the Kaide specials, and they too, were fresh, amazing, and soooo worth it. We all took our time and appreciated the food, because it was definitely worth taking your time to enjoy. The price would be around $$ depending on what you get. I now understand why people rave about BC sushi, and I'm glad that I've experienced it with Kaide. Would definitely come back! 5/5!! read more

Delicious vegetarian plate! Quiet and assuming with excellent service and high quality ingredients.

Def number one place to trust if you are getting sushi during a pandemic. The owner Tom's standards are so high that he currently only has his family (wife, daughter and son) work at his restaurant to ensure the safety of his customers. His family lives with him so he knows exactly where they go. This is one of my fav sushi places. If you are particular about how sushi places pack their rice of being even (not like some sushi places where they pack their rice so full you feel like you're eating a matted carpet ), and snobbish of wanting a very high grade of sushi that's so fresh then def try Kaide! I ordered my usual the 501 roll, tobiko, butterfish(soo addicting.. a must try), special chop, uni and a different roll I never tried; Tofino. Keep in mind that they are closed Sunday and Mondays if you are wanting a fix. read more

I was pretty disappointed in this place to be honest. The inside in nothing special. Small. Old table and chairs. Dated decor. We started with sashimi. The fish was decent but I immediately noticed the lemon and ginger were old and dried out. We had their specialty "umé" and "Big Bang" roll. They were small and rolled very poorly. They were falling apart before we even touched them. The taste was very bland on both rolls, and the avocado used was turning brown. I won't be rushing back. read more

They often have butterfish! So good. Everything I've tried is delicious. Very welcoming staff.

Vancouver is blessed with an abundance of sushi restaurants that churn out big portions and some fusion for reasonable prices. Kaide stands out as a more traditional and smaller Mom n' Pop style experience that prides itself on its daily fresh offerings. I had what I think might be the best saba nigiri I've ever had in the city. Fresh saba hits different! Kaide's was nicely charred - still had that nice oily texture & fishy flavour saba is known for but somehow cleaner and smoother. Service is nice and attentive. The sushi chef takes a lot of pride in his food ! read more

Kaide Sushi - a plate of food with chopsticks - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Extremely impressed with the quality of the sushi here. We have a tonne of sushi joints in the Toronto area and all I ever hear is "you'll never have Sushi like you get in Vancouver". For the most part my response has been "ok.." (insert eye roll). Because I've been to Van a bunch of times and the places people took mere kinda - meh! And truthfully for the most part I had eaten better back home. Then this time around Kaide happened. They have a reputation apparently of being one of the freshest places for sushi in the city and despite this it's still relatively low key. Alright, Van-Kaida - do your best to me! Smaller unassuming joint, not on a heavy traffic way, but more of a condo/townhouse neighbourhood in a store front that's nothing special. Walked in and got the boisterous Japanese welcome from the sushi chefs - always a welcome experience. The menu isn't massive, and prices are at a premium so we selected 3-4 items to share. The assorted sushi platter, the Sashimi, Rising Sun Roll and the Seaweed salad. The assorted was pretty good, as expected but definitely had me noticing something different in the quality of the rice and the fish on certain pieces. Then the Sashimi really knocked me on my ass. The fish was so fresh, like unbelievably fresh, I had to double take. Not too cold (as in previously frozen), not quite room temp, but little to no after taste and generous, professionally cut pieces of assorted treats from the sea! Lastly the seaweed salad and the rising sun roll were both equally good. The yellow wrap around the roll had a nice flavour to it, however even though we were sharing this roll quickly lost favour with us and the flavour became too much for both of us, however I still appreciated how fresh the fish (maybe scallops) were. Overall this is the first time I have been shown that when it comes to Sushi, Vancouver does have (and can have) an advantage, all that is needed is the effort. Check them out! Eatcrest Out! read more

If you want delicious and extremely fresh sashimi, then Kaide is the place! I had a work pal visiting from out of town who hasn't really been too impressed with the Vancouver sushi scene during his past visits. Me being the Vancouver sushi snob I am had to find a place that would impress him this time around. Enter Kaide. Full disclosure here, I'm not the biggest fresh sushi/sashimi eater. I love my saucy, deep fried, fusion rolls through and through. But when a restaurant specializes in serving the freshset of the fresh... I just couldn't say no. And damn, did I leave Kaide full, satisfied and impressed. Kaide is located a bit out of the way from the normal foot traffic of Downtown and Yaletown. For how highly rated this spot is, I thought it would be a lot busier. Lucky us, we came in at prime dinner time and were able to snag a table for 2 right away. The restaurant is small and unpretnesious. There are a few small tables scattered throughout the small space. If you're looking to come in with a larger party, definitely recommend calling ahead to make sure they have room since the space is small. They don't have a large menu. Since they specialize in sashimi, their menu leaned heavily towards this kind of sushi. We ordered a few things to share: + Assorted sushi platter (6 different kinds of sushi) + Sashimi platter + Rising Sun Roll + Seaweed salad I was honestly blown away by how fresh the sashimi tasted. Our server came over and explained what each roll was and how we should eat it (taste, before dipping in sauce, and explaining the different sauces that came with). I didn't even use any of the sauce for most of them because they just tasted so fresh and delicious. I can't pick out which one I liked the best, because I turly really loved all of them. Well freaking done, Kaide. I've recommended Kaide to at least 5 of my friends since my visit here and I will definitely be back to satisfy my fresh sushi craving. read more

We were staying in Yaletown and chose this spot because the photos looked good, it's a small cozy little spot, nothing fancy, a little away from the touristy busyness of Robson etc. We came in at a good time for dinner and we sat pretty quickly. Staff was very friendly with the greetings and one of the staff gals gave me a tissue to help me de-fog my glasses when coming in from the cold. How cute! Anyways, menu has a lot of choices and took us a few extra minutes to go over what we wanted. We weren't famished or anything, so between the 2 of us we shared the Combination of Kaide Assorted Sushi ( 9 piece of chef's best that comes with tekka and salmon rolls) we also added an Unagi Roll too because I gotta get me an eel. Everything was nicely made with good presentation, fresh tasting and seemed of good quality to me. I didn't even use soy sauce and it was still mighty yummy. All was tasty and we contemplated on possibly ordering more but didn't. As mentioned, staff was friendly throughout, attentive and hustled to keep up with everything. Prices are pretty good too, it wasn't ridiculously expensive or even close to being cray. Glad we came by and would re-visit again on future trips. Nice little sushi gem of a place to find among all the good food in the area. read more

This place is great! Everything tasted fresh and delicious. I liked the spicy tuna sashimi $16 - it's done in a different way than I'm used to (not that thick red sauce haha) and it was so good! Expensive tho. The wild sockeye salmon sashimi $16 was amazing. So red and fresh. The tamago $2 and toro nigiri ($3.75?) is also worth returning for! read more

It's awesome to have such a highly celebrated sushi place right outside my door -- and yet I didn't know this place was all that hot for YEARS. I went to Kaide for the first time this summer. Quite simply it is among the best sashimi and nigiri I've had (not a huge fan of maki, so if that's your thing, my review won't be that informative.) Returned again yesterday and got quite a bit more than last time. Food 5/5 -- I would highly recommend taking a look at their daily specials. I had spot prawn, blue fin, butterfish, and moaaaar! The butterfish is highly celebrated by yelp reviewers and I have to say it did not disappoint. One thing I would really comment on here is the quality of the fish. I also had the Unagi Don. Love Unagi and once again it did not disappoint. The BBQ sauce was so rich, and the eel was soft and buttery -- loved it. I also got Asahi Black Super Dry... you could say I'm a fan. Service 5/5 -- The service was great, although I would say our server was quite shy -- not a big deal, as she did a superb job. She always refilled our tea before it got low, did quality checks, cleared the table, and took our orders timely and without confusion. They were quite busy when we came in and a lot of tables were being settled for the end of the lunch rush, but it did not affect the quality of service. Cleanliness 5/5 -- Easy points yet again, Kaide is on a roll! Atmosphere 2/5 -- Ah, here we go. Unfortunately Kaide is not comfortable at all. They make due with the space they have, but I still feel like it could be done quite a bit better. Plus this place has the quality of food to be a really trendy sushi joint. The bathroom is typical for a shared space building in Yaletown. Walk through a door in the back and find yourself in a concrete hallway with various doors. The men's washroom has a single stall and urinal, but can also lock from the inside. Wonder what the point of that is? A couple pretends that they have to take a deuce at the same time, but then end up going into the locked bathroom to have some frisky time. Sounds like the beginnings of the next romance of Notebook proportions! Overall 4.25/5 -- Kaide is a real gem. You owe it to yourself to try it out. read more

Kaide came up on the Yelp app as the best sushi in the area, and my expectations were high, given the great seafood we've had in Vancouver. Unfortunately, Kaide failed to live up to the hype. The sashimi sampler was just okay, artistically presented, fresh, and nicely cut but quality was fair to average. The specials are definitely the way to go, with butterfish being one of the standouts. We opted for a few of their featured rolls, only to find several unavailable and the ones we did try underwhelming. Service was adequately attentive considering how busy they were, but ultimately, if this is some of the best sushi the city has to offer, I don't need to try anywhere else in town. read more

In a town with a ton of sushi restaurants, several offering huge portions for cheap, Kaide stands out. Absolutely delicious sushi in generous portions. Tom is very very friendly, as is his family, and will come check on you to see how the food is. Always has a smile on his face. If you want quality over quantity, in a relaxed, friendly environment, don't miss this Yaletown gem. read more

If you're looking for good quality sushi with decent prices this is the place for you. The toro is my favourite at every sushi spot but they have really good quality smooth tasting toro. The shrimp has that perfect hint of sweet and the salmon is out of this world fresh and great quality considering it's sockeye. There are not too many super special rolls but they have a simply delicious menu with great ingredients. There are very few places in Vancouver that offer blue fin tuna and this is one of them. Whenever I see that on a menu I make sure to order it and so should you! Seafood miso is pretty unique to Kaide and quite delicious with the scallops. If you're a vegetarian they have this great option of the veggie combo and it has a lot of yummy variety! read more

Pros Some very unique rolls although a little expensive. The Tofino roll has a very nice char. The sunrise roll is very aesthetically pleasing and what a combination of salmon avocado asparagus scallop and tobiko. The house special marinated tuna don was just soso to me. Ingredients were fresh and food came quickly Cons Steam on the window dripping down to the floor The interior can use a little upgrade Overall a pretty good sushi place for the neighborhood, but I probably would not go out my way to come here again. read more

Sushi place on the edge of Yaletown. Parking is available a few blocks away, unless one wants to throw money away on meters. The interior is cozy and trendy, but dated. Feels like it would've been upscale in the 1990s. The place is rather dimly lit. Staff were friendly. Sushi here is definitely on the pricier side, at $2+ for a piece of sushi, and $15-20 for a donburi bowl. Yikes. The chirashi don I had was covered in sesame seeds and green onions, and tasted pretty good. However, the portion was rather small. The hamachi nigir was pretty dainty looking, and was quite flavourful, especially with wasabi. Quality is there, but prepare to leave hungry. read more

It's in my hood and I've walked by it for years. Today I decided to try it. First thing I thought was it was expensive considering I could walk a block away and get good ( my go to places for sushi ) and cheaper dishes down the road. I wasn't that hungry and was only getting two rolls so I decided to try it. Well for $20 with tip. This is what I walked out with. Good thing I wasn't hungry. Won't be back. Too bad it's so close read more

Kaide Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Great neighborhood sushi joint. Always welcoming and friendly. Extra star for wild sockeye salmon and REAL CRAB California rolls! The sashimi is always cold with good texture and they only stock what they can get the freshest. The rolls are a great smaller size aned not overloaded with rice - the flavours and quantity are balanced. The Kaide Vegetable is recommended too. As at least one other reviewer mentioned, their dynamite roll is not traditional (no deep fryer), but we actually preferred it's lighter, crunchier texture (it may very well be cornflakes) and refreshing flavor. We also enjoy their sake. We have tried some of their specials and they have always been good, if a little overpriced. Overall - Yes, you can find cheaper sushi elsewhere but we go here for the quality. The wait staff are friendly and efficient. A few of the newer wait staff are inexperienced and forget things - luckily it is a small place so it is easy to get their attention if needed, it's not been an issue for us. My only improvement would be on the non-descript decor/ambiance. It could use a little classing up, but that being said it is casual, comfortable and okay. read more

Loved it! My family and I came here for my daughter's birthday. We went omakase (left it up to the chefs to decide) and were NOT disappointed! It was so good, that my normally non-sushi eating son tried some and loved it as well. Great staff, great service, great sushi. We will be back. read more

This is a small place. A few tables, limited food menu. We ordered the salmon/tuna sashimi. It was delicious! It was very fresh tasting and I enjoyed it. We also ordered 2 sushi rolls.

Yeah, this place is legit. I came here with a coworker after a very long day at a conference. She's not a huge sushi fan, but she was able to order some tamer items (California roll, avocado roll, miso soup) while I erred on the side of adventurous. I had the seafood miso and the Kaide Assorted Sushi dinner. Service was prompt and friendly but not intrusive. My coworker noted that it looked like a hole-in-the-wall, but I didn't think it was that bad. It was busy for Thursday night, even at a quarter to 8. We did call earlier in the day to make reservations just in case. The seafood miso was nice and salty and perfect for a rainy Vancouver day. It had several tiny scallops, at least three pieces of salmon, and a prawn. The highlight of my meal was definitely the assorted sushi, though. The presentation was spot-on and every piece was outstanding. It was hard to pick a favorite; I love salmon, but the fatty tuna and eel were surprisingly fantastic (eel isn't always my favorite but it was tender and flavorful). I loved the variety of sushi and appreciated the reasonable price. Ohio simply doesn't have sushi like this: melt in your mouth and super fresh. I know there are probably hundreds of sushi places in Vancouver, but I would seriously consider coming back to this exact place if I were to return. read more

After seeing all of the Yelp reviews calling Kaide Sushi "one of Vancouver's best hidden gems", my fiancé and I decided to pick up some takeout to go eat at George Wainborn Park today. We ordered: tamago (x2), hamachi (x2), butterfish (x2), unagi, ikura, chopped scallop (x2), amaebi (x2), hotate (x2) nigiri, a negitoro hosomaki, and a California roll. Everything was really fresh, but the standouts for me were the butterfish, hamachi, and hotate. The California roll was good, but not worth $5 in my opinion. Too bad they sold out of uni, because based on the freshness and quality of everything else we had, it probably would've been amazing. We spent about $50 for the above. This place is not cheap, but I'm happy to pay more for premium quality. I will definitely be back! TLDR; Very fresh seafood. Not cheap, but not super expensive for the quality ($2-5 per nigiri). read more

Kaide Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

The interior was quite gloomy and had piercing white light in certain areas of the restaurant. Because of this, I was a little turned off at first, but was looking forward to trying their sushi. After a long back and forth and flipping through the menu, I decided on the Chirashi Donburi ($17) so that I could try a bunch of the different sashimi. The biggest let down for me was the rice. I don't know what it was about it, but it just seemed off. The bowl included tuna, salmon, scallop, octopus, tamago, and was small compared to the many other ones I've had before (especially for the price) and I was still hungry when I was done. A few of my friends ordered the Kaide Assorted Sushi ($22), which comes with 9 pieces of the freshest fish of the day, 3 tuna rolls, and 3 salmon rolls. Looking at the amazing reviews online I had really high expectations for Kaide Sushi Bar. However, as a group we did not feel that the sushi here was spectacular. Everything tasted good and was clearly fresh, but not great enough to make me want to come back when there are so many other sushi places in Vancouver. read more

Honestly don't know why this place is as highly rated as it is. I ordered 4 "premium" rolls and the bill ended up to be around $36 with tip. The sushi I ordered, not too sure why was only mediocre. The scallop roll and the one with the smoked salmon were the best. The Kaide BC and the Big Bang roll (tuna), were really not that great. I still don't know why people cook their salmon in the BC roll, this honestly takes away from the whole experience of a BC roll. The Big Bang roll, not too sure why had a sour element to it. The rice over all was a bit on the undercooked side, as you could tell there was a bite to the rice. Overall, I don't think I'll be back to the restaurant, it was both a bit pricey and low quality. read more

My mom took me here and told me it was "really good", sorry ma not this time... Personally I think that the lack of unique or memorable dishes is kind of leading me to a bittersweet conclusion. The food is good don't get me wrong, but it wasn't impressive. More of a smaller sushi-bar mom and pop place by the looks of it. It can get pretty packed but the food is fast and service is nice. Their spicy tuna and marinated tuna are A.) Not spicy and B.) Too salty. Dissapointment #1. The sushi combo with nigiri and one salmon roll and one tuna roll for alright, it was very generic, the fish was very fresh but the overall presentation wasn't perky and refined (if you know what I mean). A bit on the expensive side as lunch will run about 25-30$ per person. Good joint just nothing i'd be flocking back to. read more

Two stars because it's really not very appetizing and there are FAR better places. Four stars is insane. Since moving to Yaletown, I've discovered what I've called the "yaletown rating" system. It's not based on reality, but instead of people with dead palates who overrate bad cuisine. Like Alpha sushi, Kaide is rate far too high for what you get. Sushi restaurants seem to be the businesses most often overrated by the Yaletown crowd. Case in point, we happened to get the dynamite roll. Usually this roll has a tempura prawn down the center of it. Apparently they don't have a fryer here, so they substitute something "crunchy" in its place. It looked like corn flakes. I'm not kidding. I sat there stunned staring at crushed cereal spilling out of the fricken' roll. read more

Looking for good sushi isn't difficult in Vancouver but finding quality sushi with genuine service and atmosphere, that is a little harder - Kaide accomplishes all of that. My friend Andrea P. and I were lucky to be seated right away on a Saturday night at 7pm. This tiny restaurant is small but it didn't feel cramped because they didn't sardine the tables. We both already knew we wanted to go for the Chef's Special Omakase of 9 pieces of nigiri with 1/2 orders of salmon and tuna maki, all for $22! I was so happy today's special had Uni! Along with Toro, Salmon, Butterfish, Hamachi, Unagi, Chopped Scallop, Hokkigai, Yellowfin Tuna and Tomago. I enjoyed the time and explanation the waitress gave with each nigiri and also suggesting the house-made ponzu with the hamachi. The toro was buttery and smooth, salmon was rich in flavour, uni was buttery and sweet, and everything else was fresh and tasty. In past reviews they noted lackluster tea and an extra charge of $0.50. But I happy to say you can scratch that all out because the green tea had the most green tea flavour I had ever tasted and there wasn't a single extra charge on the bill. What did come with the bill was a complimentary dish of watermelon, such a refreshing and lovely way to end our meal. Overall, very satisfied with the freshness and quality of the food, and polite and friendly experience! A very good use of your money towards delicious nigiri. read more

While they have some exotic fish (ie. butter fish) and the fish quality was fresh, I just can't deal with their rice... It was hard. Not like hard and cold, 'cause that would mean it came from the fridge. It was just hard. Sometimes there were bits of unchewables. I don't understand. According to my friend, this is not an isolated incident. We ordered some rolls to share, one of which is the "Kaide" dynamite roll. What that really means is, the shrimp is not fried in tempura batter. Instead, it is wrapped in cornflakes. Yes, cornflakes, as in the cereal, I kid you not. I guess it's not as heavy as tempura, but why? The nigiris were good, at least the fish portion. It was perfectly cut, the right temperature, and very fresh. This is the first place I've tried butter fish and I love it! But again, that rice... The servers were nice and attentive, though. Would not return because I can get fish somewhere else with better rice. Oh man the number of times I've mentioned "rice", I sound like a rice bowl, even though I normally don't eat that much rice. Oh look, another 3 repeats of "rice". Oops, 4. Stop it. read more

Kaide Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This place has enough positive reviews already but I'm about to jump on the bandwagon anyway because it's THAT good. They have an amazing assortment of fish and it's all very fresh here. And the best part is that it's all at a very affordable value. Order the Kaide Assorted Sushi for the ultimate sampler. It offers uni (sea urchin), unagi (eel), butter fish, hamachi (yellowtail), blue fin tuna, hokkigai (surf clam), chopped scallops and the best tamago I've ever had. The platter came out hella beautiful - not because there were added garnishes, but because each sushi looked so damn fresh and tasty. My jaw literally dropped... We also ordered the Spicy Tuna Don (thick slices of tuna, not spicy at all if you're concerned) and the Rising Sun roll (different, but not a favourite because I'm personally not a fan of asparagus). Kaide keeps it simple and they let the fish speak for itself (well, you know, if it could talk...). Truly a must-try if you're looking for some of the best sushi in Vancouver! read more
