    the outside of a restaurant
    Denise W.

    This is a pretty average sushi place ran by Chinese family. The sushi is somewhat on the smaller side and nothing special. I tried their house roll and a chop scallop roll. The chop scallop roll was not bad. The house roll was pretty average. The ingredients are fresh. Prices are basically what you expect at other restaurants. Parking is free in the lot on Sunday. Monday to Saturday, you do have to pay for parking. Service was ok. You only get service if you ask for it. The salmon gama is a pretty good deal here for $10ish you get 2 halfs of the salmon head. It is also quite flavorful and tasty. It is a very average mediocre sushi restaurant.

    Tasty but somewhat snack sized Japanese place close to Metropolis. Parking is available in the plaza lot but it isn't free, which is totally stupid. Park on a side street instead. The inside is pretty modern but bare bones. Staff here speak Cantonese. Disclaimer. I had the Bento Box 1. The bento box is pretty spartan if you ask me. A few pieces of sashimi and some tempura, then a salad and some white(!) rice, and a bowl of miso soup. Honestly it would've better if they at least included some teriyaki. My friend and I both left hungry. Quality is decent, but this thing is snack sized. Knock 1 star off. Not sure if I'd come back because of the small portions.

    Recently ordered house roll takeout (photo shown with 4 out of the 5 pieces). I am used to rolls with 6 pieces and this order's house roll was slightly disappointing because only half of house roll had avocado inside and I love avocado. I commend them for fast takeout and an easy place to park, grab and go for a simple sushi fix. Server was nice and offered me tea while I waited for takeout. Past dine-in experience was usually for their set lunch and dinner boxes. This place may not be run by Japanese but they offer spacious booth seating available, clean layout, convenient parking and friendly service. Parking is free, reimbursed with ticket. Attached parts of its menu in photos as they showcase quite a variety of dishes. As with many restaurants, prices have gone up... their signature winter California rolls now priced as $10.95 but they still carry a decent selection of reasonably priced appetizers such as Agedashi tofu for $5.95, rolls starting at $3.75 and teriyaki dishes from $13.95 to 18.95 (not shown in menu photos). They offer ordering online on their website. Also offers all day delivery with min order of $25.

    After being seated, I had to use the ladies room. I must say that I am VERY impressed that for such a LARGE single bathroom that they didn't double it as a storage room for the vacuum and mop etc etc. It was prime dinner time, there was no line-up ... was that a hint from the Big Guy above? We were seated at a booth. I think they made the booths to accommodate people 6 feet tall and taller. The distance between the seat and the table was about 1 foot. So if I wanted to sit back comfortably, I couldn't reach the table. If I wanted to eat my food, I had to sit on the very edge of the seat (that hurt my butt). We ordered a small Sashimi, a Philadelphia roll, and 3 pieces of Massago. The bill came too ... $39 (blink blink) I had to do a double take. $39?? We did not order alcohol. Granted the prices were right there on the menu. My fault I didn't look at the prices, I just assumed that seeing we order almost the same thing at all sushi places that the prices would be similar ... uuuuh ... nope!! WRONG-O!! I doubt very much we will be returning here. Food is okay, but not worth the price. For that price I can go elsewhere and be happily stuffed full.

    Doesnt look like much when you walk past, but this restaurant has very good sushi and excellent customer service.

    Tuna & Salmon Combo
    Erick H.

    Tuna, salmon roll and chopped scallop roll had a very good taste, the tuna and salmon nigiri was very good same with the tako yaki, I also enjoyed the negitoro roll and the spicy salmon rolls, all that food for under $40, include the excellent service and that = me going back

    For a Chinese run sushi place, its a good price and they give you quite a bit of food. Obviously, their rice is a bit too thick, flavourless and mushy. Their spicy salmon roll was disappointing with just a giant squeeze of sriracha on top...the tataki was also poorly sliced but huge slices of fish. Lots of crab meat in the alaska roll (the chinese kind not the korean kind) but again, good prices. Way too much rice on the chicken teriyaki roll though... Also came by with a groupon once and we got a deal with gyoza, chicken teriyaki, some nigiri and sashimi as well as a roll. Again, spicy salmon roll was not very good and everything else was average. We ordered a winter california roll on top of that which was a cali roll base with chopped scallop on top and a mayo based sauce, then seared. This was a little bit too rich but tasted good. Overall, they have good lunch deals but the tasteless rice keeps me from returning.

    Very sushi tea cup.

    This is the standard Japanese restaurant with basic decor and typical menu. Nothing really stands out about this place. Like so many such restaurants, it's not run by Japanese people. But the food is good; service was friendly, and the prices were typical. They did have a few high end items like Blue fin tuna sashimi, among other things, so it's an appropriate place to go for a special treat. I would eat here again.

    For a group of 5 we ordered the "Faimly" combo. It's supposed to be "Family" combo and meant fo 4 people ($75....?) HAHA anywho, it was more than enough food for us all. It came with miso soup, tempura, rolls, sushi, and a beautiful display of sashimi. The fish was good! The toro melts on your tongue. I use the uni to determine the quality of the fish and the uni was great good good good

    Kiku Combo ($~45)
    Tracy W.

    We order the Kiku Combo (Mango California, Kiku, Winter California, Philadelphia, and Caterpillar Roll) and a dragon roll (my all time fav!) The Winter California is to die for!!! It's like California Roll topped with chopped scallops that's gently torched, it's creamy and so satisfying! It's a must try :) The Dragon Roll is stuffed with unagi. SO YUMMY Would not really get their dynamic roll though, the batter swallows the prawn entirely. And this is waaaay too much food for 2 people.

    The reason I eat so much sushi is because I always manage to convince myself that sushi is healthier than whatever I plan to cook at home or the wherever am planning to eat out at. When it comes to Kiku however, it is so good and addicting, but you know that you're going to have to put in some extra time at the gym... intrigued? Read on. Kiku is a Japanese restaurant nestled into a small plaza near Metrotown, many people never even see it tucked away from the street! It is really my hidden gem. Run by Koreans with some Korean inspired dishes. I'm not complaining though since they know how to make their food! The restaurant itself is really cozy with booths and private rooms. TVs around the place and is a great way to wind down the day, go for lunch or just hang out with friends. With an extensive menu that is well priced, there is something for everyone! Every time I come here (which is not often enough) I get the tuna oil tataki, baked salmon sashimi, winter california roll and spicy tofu. At lunchtime there are really affordable boxes which come with an assortment of goodies. There are also roll combos and such to share and are a good value. The baked sushi and sashimi is what distinguishes Kiku from other Japanese places and there are many restaurants especially around the Metrotown area! They bake the rolls with a mound of scallop and mayo in top and their salmon sashimi with a ponzu sauce and mayo. When it bakes the mayo is gooey and easy to eat and although it is fattening it is so yummy (my friend thought it was cheese once)! Okay, so it might not sound all that appetizing when I explain it, but it is really quite something unique. Their spicy tofu is a korean inspired dish and is kind of a stir fry dish with veggies and tofu in a not overly spicy sauce. It comes in a fairly large portion so it is good to share. Kiku is definitely worth checking out!

    Service 2.5/5 Tea was not refilled during my lunch service. However I was asked if I wanted more tea right before I left Service was friendly, chefs shouted greetings on entry Decor 3/5 Dining area is clean, did not use the restroom Seating for around 50 Multiple 2 person tables and tables for larger groups in the back Food 2.5/5 I ordered the lunch special which was a choice of three items with miso soup for around $8.50 I went for the spicy tuna, spicy salmon and BC roll +large rolls and neat arrangement (photo) -Rice was overly dense, and chewy -Seaweed was damp chewy, tough This combination made all the rolls really tough and chewy, couldn't really enjoy the fillings I was surprised to find the salmon rolls extremely hard to chew, I tried a few more pieces and they were equally as tough. When I unrolled the last one I found it was made of three flat end pieces full of sinew , the parts that are usually discarded (photo on request) or cooked for BC rolls. You couldn't tell from the top because of the large dollop of siracha sauce The BC roll filling was unremarkable, mostly skin, no meat The spicy tuna was the best out of all, although still chopped, there were no traces of sinew I was excited to try Kiku given its rating and proximity to work but was quite disappointed. Location is good for the surrounding office buildings but their food and service need work. Its edible but I wouldn't come back.

She then left to let us peruse the menu. We took awhile to look so we were asked at once point if we were ready and we sis we needed a bit more time so the server was delightfully accommodating and said whenever we were ready to give a server a call. Later on when we were ready our order was taken by a male staff member. We ordered a decent amount. Miso cheese eggplant, chawan-mushi, fried fish collar served in some kind of broth, 8pc nigiri omakase, blue fin tuna&uni hand cone, another hand cone but I can't remember what was in it..wifey ordered it, vegetable tempura and a black truffle dynamite roll. The highlight for me was the black truffle dynamite roll, it's taste was perfect. The right amount of truffle used and not over powering like I've had at so many other venues. I was pleasantly surprised and delighted. It was smokey, earthy and tasted wonderful. The miso cheese eggplant was delicious, slightly salty from the miso and wonderfully roasted soft eggplant. The fish colar in broth was light and delicate, beautiful flavor and texture. Chawanmushi was soft and delicate, excellently flavored. The omakase which had fish from Japan was delicious, super fresh and masterfully prepared! The tempura came with a green tea seasalt which was different but very nice. For dessert we had the green tea tiramisu which was very tasty. The restaurant itself is small but cozy and wonderfully decorated. My wife and I had a wonderful meal and I would go back for special occasions.

The staffs/owner were very friendly and made great recommendations. Had the hamachi carpaccio, so refreshing and appetizing. The homemade ponzu (lemony) sauce has a nice finish with thin sliced onions and veggies. The Engawa Arburi nigiri was recommended, and it was phenomenal. It is the 'fin edge' of flounder. Super delicate, with seared (arburi) flavor and melts in your mouth. Yum! The other highlight was the Wagyu beef cubes severed on stick. Two skewers 4 cubes each. The Wagyu was perfectly cooked. It melts in your mouth with every bite. We also enjoyed the 7 piece Omakase sushi set. The fish was very fresh and satiating. Love the lotus root chips garnishing. We loved everything we had but would likely skip the Omakase appetizer Platter. Perhaps we were spoiled by the hamachi carpaccio appetizer. We still enjoyed it but For the same price, we would prefer the sushi set. It had 9 small plates in a beautiful serving box including- tiny sashimi cube of salmon, tuna, tamago, and my fav is the komochi nishin (herring fillets ("Nishin") layered over a base of crunchy capelin roe), also included in the tiny plates of apps were, chicken karaage, baby taco, sliced taco, taco in red sauce, and seaweed salad. We look forward to be back!!!!!

    Parking is easy as it is in a small mall…read more The service was very good. Our tea was always topped up and the servers were cheerful and very helpful. We sat in a separate section of the restaurant with 3 tables at the front. We ordered chicken wings, assorted tempura, miso black cod and an order of beef teriyaki that was not on the menu. The servings are very small for the prices charged. We found that the chicken wings (only 4 small wings) $9.50 were a bit dry. The tempura batter was not as crisp or crunchy as we've had. The miso black cod was a very small portion - maybe 4 oz. for $18.00. We did not feel that there was value for the money. The food was average and the prices were too high for the quality and amount of food received. We did not enjoy the anime that was playing and we were glad that we were not sitting in the main dining room. Overall, we feel that there are better options for a Japanese meal.

    I made a reservation at Okeya Kyujiro for my partner's 40th birthday, and he had the best time…read more Honestly, it was one of the most memorable omakase experiences I've had in Vancouver. 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.

    Service was really amazing with servers explaining each dish and drinks were always topped off…read more Food was good, but maybe this isn't quite my style of omakase compared to the other ones I've tried. This is a more theatrical style so expect louder music and a more theatrical experience (eg one of the servers played the flute for the guests celebrating birthdays). I prefer a more intimidate and interactive style of omakase where you can talk with the chefs. This lunch also felt a little fast in terms of progression of the meal. Some of the dishes were very tasty while others didn't wow us. With drinks, we were quite full despite some reviews saying portion is on the smaller size. Our total was around $500 with drinks for 2 people. A really good experience for omakase, especially if you are looking for a unique experience though not my favourite one I've tried.
