On my 2nd trip to Vancouver, I had to make another stop at Gami Sushi! We went on a Monday evening…read morearound 6:30pm and waited about 20 minutes. This place always seems popular with the locals -- and for good reason. Quality and affordable sushi is a dangerous combo... if I lived here, my wallet would be in trouble.
- Party Tray A (34 pieces) -- Dynamite Roll (6pcs), California Roll (8pcs), Tuna Roll (6pcs), Salmon Roll (6pcs), plus Salmon, Tuna, Ebi, and Chopped Scallop Nigiri (2pcs each). Excellent variety and perfect for 2-3 people. My favorites were the salmon and tuna nigiri. Incredible value for ~$26 CAD.
- Salmon Sashimi -- a bit of salmon skin on one piece (maybe a rough cut), but still tasty with soy sauce.
- Oyster Motoyaki -- baked oysters topped with Japanese mayo and miso. My friend didn't realize it would come with cheese (a menu note would help!), but still a savory and tasty dish.
- Spider Roll -- soft shell crab, cucumber, avocado, lettuce/masago. Fun spiderweb sauce design and a great crunchy bite.
- Black Dragon Roll -- crab meat, cucumber, avocado inside; unagi, avocado, tobiko, bonito sauce on top. My personal favorite -- unagi + avocado + rice never fails.
- Assorted Sushi Combo -- Tuna, Salmon, Ebi, Tako, Hokkigai, Ika, Chopped Scallop, Masago (1pc each) + half Tuna Roll + half Salmon Roll. Great option if you want lots of variety.
They don't accept Yelp reservations, so you'll need to put your name down in person. Ambience was lively even on a Monday night, with a cozy mix of tables and booths. Service was quick once we were seated. If you're looking for great value sushi in Richmond, BC, Gami Sushi is your spot!
