We tried Nagano Japanese Restaurant in Coquitlam and had a great experience. The sushi and sashimi were fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. The menu has lots of choices, from classic rolls to Japanese dishes, so everyone in the family can find something they like. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxed. A nice local spot for a casual Japanese meal with family or friends. Highly recommend if you're craving fresh sushi and good Japanese food! read more

The interior of this restaurant is mostly dark woods with warm yellowish lighting. Upon entrance, it didn't look welcoming. Food menu is quite extensive so that we needed some time to go through it. Some are hits such as Silk Worm Roll while the Peanut Crunch did not have nor taste peanut. Service is good. We were surprised with a complimentary Fried Salmon Kama! They usually serve this grilled but gave us a fried version. Thank you! read more

Came in on a Friday night at 1030pm. It wasn't too busy, but it wasn't a full house either. The servers were way too much in a rush, and wanted to leave our table to put in our order when we weren't even done telling them our order. We had to stop the server and tell her what else we wanted, and our order came out within 5 mins. It took longer to flag someone down to get a refill of water, and we asked for a big glass of ice but she brought back a well drink size cup of ice. The communication isn't great here, and felt like we had to rush to put in our order as she kept walking away. Today's experience doesn't want me to come back. read more

First time going to this sushi place, and I am so angry!!!!.....angry that I've lived here for 14 years and have never eaten here....best sushi I've ever had. If you love sushi and have never checked this place out; you need to go. Great service, great atmosphere, you're gonna love it!! read more

I did not enjoy my experience today. I came on a Friday and so it was busy. I wasn't in a rush but they didn't even have soy sauce on the table. The servers kept walking by and it was hard to get their attention. I was sitting with my sushi for a bit before I was even able to ask for soy sauce. Then I got it but without a container to put it in. The sushi itself did not taste fresh. I got the dynamite combo. I think it may be better to go when it's not as busy. read more

This is a nice sushi place to go during covid19 because they have a decent sized patio. But the food wasn't too good Price wise, i think it's on the pricer end compared to other sushi places The best dish out of all the things we ordered was the chirashi don. Dont order the spicy ohitashi salad, it's basically just spinach but very salthy too read more

Awful, painfully slow service. Very disappointing. Took 40 minutes to prepare a small takeout order of sashimi, salmon roll, two pieces of nigiri & appetizer tempura. Baby size portions as well. Now I know why we don't visit this place. Only as a last resort since it's open late. Next time we won't bother. COVID or not this place is not worth it. I will stick to Hanayuki Sushi or Sushi Mori. read more

Nagano Japanese Restaurant - Poorly prepared salmon roll - Japanese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Nagano is one of our favourite Japanese sushi joints in the neighbourhood. We often come here on special occasions such as birthdays and holidays. Pei, the head chef and owner, often works into the wee hours with his brother making sushi. They are very dedicated and pay a lot of attention to their work. Food-wise they provide a quality selection. 9/10 Taste is very typical Japanese with some Korean fusion element to it, popular in this neighbourhood. 8/10 Ambiance is of a mellow dark space similar to lots of Korean eateries, an aesthetic popular 5-10 years ago. Nothing in the place stands out other than the many polaroids Pei had with his past customers. It is a comfortable joint that puts the customers at ease. 7/10 Service is often good unless it is super busy on weekends etc. If you can avoid peak times, then there is really nothing to worry about. 8/10 People all complain about the price. Though I think quality of the food and attention to details warrants the price. In that regards it is very reasonable. 8/10. Overall score: Food quality 9/10 Taste 8/10 Ambiance 7/10 Service 8/10 Price 8/10 40/50 = 80%. B+ Would I come again? You betcha. read more

Good value, sashimi is higher quality than a lot of places. Good service. Open late.

It's not that great. Legit I can get sushi of way higher quality and pay half the amount they charge here. Not worth it. Waitress was really nice tho and very attentive however We waited for a very long time for our sushi to arrive. Quality is a 2/5 Service 3/5 read more

I've been here a few times over the years and have never been disappointed. On our first night out of Covid quarantine I desperately needed sushi. Within walking distance to my family's house we enjoyed the hamachi, wild salmon, and blue fin tuna, a house roll they should rename "the kitchen sink" and awesome prawn tempura. 5 stars for the food and 3 for the service. We waited 25 minutes to order more food and ended up getting the bill because it took so long. Despite that, the fish was fresh and the vibe was authentic. read more

Nagano Japanese Restaurant - moody fever ($15.99), dragon roll ($15.99) and house roll ($7.99) - Japanese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

I've taken out a sushi plate from Nagano before and it was very good. Any sushi place that can offer fresh well-cut sashimi is doing something right. Last night I sat down for dinner with my wife there, it's a small place, Japanese style wood decor and mood lighting. Onto the food - we ordered assorted nigiri, chopped scallops roll and a B.C. roll. Both were good, but on the "smaller" side than your usual cuts. Price wise it's also a little pricier than other places I tend to frequent. Overall I enjoyed our light dinner, fish quality was good - but at the same time if I were to be picky, it was hard to find anything that stood out. read more

Hands down the best sushi place we have ever dined in. Not only they serve the most delicious sushi with freshest ingredients, they make you feel special by remembering you from your last visit and personalizing the experience for you. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to enjoy the real sushi experience! read more

Thirty Seven Dollars. Seventeen dollars for take-out beef udon. What the heck. I have zero words.

Went for dinner with a group of friends here and we were all very pleased with the quality of the food. The service was also very decent. I must say that was one of the best sashimi salads I have ever tried. They have a very wide variety of sushi to choose from. I have tried a few different Japanese spots in coquitlam this one is in the top 5. This restaurant is on the smaller side so reservations is definitely recommended. read more

Just Bad, check out my video. Most of our food had contained tuna, and they actually brought some free deep fried tuna bits. This was odd because Tuna is not usually a fish that you would deep fry, the meat texture was not made for that. Fast forward, as we started digging in, we found a worm - gross. It was dancing around on top of the tuna. It was obvious that they did not flash freeze to minus 4, and the fish was turning bad. So after the bad experience you would think that they would make it complementary. Nope, only that one dish was taken off. We didn't eat any of it due to most of it having tuna within the dish. Also we no longer trusted the raw fish they had and how they handle it. At the end I had to pay over $80 for a dinner that I didn't get to eat. Just to add to it, I found out that my friend works next door and told me that their kitchen and food handling is very dirty. Go figures.... read more

I've been to this place twice over the 20 years that I have lived in the area. It is very nicely decorated actually! The atmosphere is good for cheaper dates and also the food is quite delicious. It is also quite clean and the staff are relatively friendly. The cons to this place is that the prices are quite high for a mediocre sushi place. Really all you're paying for is the decorations of the place. I wouldn't come here again unless friends all decided on it. Otherwise, I would not think of coming here on my own or even suggest it. read more

Nagano Japanese Restaurant - Chef's special - Japanese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

This has been our go to spot for years. My wife and I usually take out. Not sure if they have changed management but the quality of the food and service has been atrocious recently. I mean the staff is friendly however they have forgotten items on several occasions when we get take out and the lack of care and attention when prepping the food is evident. On my last order from a few weeks ago they forgot the rice with the chicken teriyaki and the avocado that was stuffed into my California temaki cone - it was rotten and still had the skin on it. We have found another sushi spot, same prices but much better quality. read more

My last visit was for my best friend's birthday lunch. We ordered two boats and a sashimi platter. One boat says good for 2 people but it was massive! The sashimi was fresh. Good quality rolls. The food took a while to prepare but was worth the wait. In the meantime, the server brought us a free appie and apologized for the wait time. It can be pricier than other sushi joints. It is also quite dimly lit and sort of cold in there but I would definitely come back again. read more

Definitely quality sushi and exceptional service (we even got a free tasting of a tuna ball in ponzu sauce) It is on the pricey side, for me and my teenage son cost $40 and all we ordered was a California Combo (Cali roll, and 6 nigiri) and Tuna/Salmon Sashimi. The staff were "on it", kept our tea full and provided plates and utensils immediately upon sitting. I will return but will save it for a special occasion type of visit :) read more

The sushi is tasty most days but it depends who makes the sushi it can look like a big mess. Sushi Rolls sometimes are not fully sealed and fish hangs out looking like a fishy mess. read more

Nagano Japanese Restaurant - a tray of sushi - Japanese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Love Nagano! I'm addicted. Best sushi in the Vancouver area. Beautiful rolls; my fav is their gangsta roll, spider and deep fried California. With real crab! The sashimi salad is amazing, and huge. So fresh!! Everything on the menu is killer. We brought in a party of 15 for my birthday and Nagano was so accommodating. We had a private room & the service was excellent. Thanks again :) Mr. Pae is the owner and he is the nicest guy you will ever meet. Sit at the bar and check out board of specials and fresh products. Go here now :) read more

Had to pick up something in Coquitlam and we got really hungry so we decided to head to Nagano thanks to yelp. When we got there they were busy, but we were seated fairly quickly, and the service is fast too! All the waitresses were quick in ordering, and bringing our food or taking away our plates. The chefs are excellent as well! I had some disappointing sushi a bit ago and to taste some that is on point really made my day! The portions are filling as well and even though it's on the pricier side it is good food. They have a variety of rolls which made them different from other places cuz I've never seen them anywhere else. I came with a group, just 3 people but I think they can accommodate for more. Overall great sushi and I wish they were much closer to home read more

For the last many years we live in Coquitlam, we have always like the rolls served in this restaurant BUT, we ordered 2 different rolls for take out tonight and it was dry tasting just like 2 days old rolls. The lady in front counter was in a rush going in every which direction, could not wait for me to ask one simple question - where is my receipt? She just quickly pointed at the bag I am holding, yet I found out there was no receipt inside when I got home. At almost $30 for 4 strips of poorly made dried out roll, this does not justify patronizing this place again... read more

I came here with family during a weekday for lunch. We arrived after the rush hour so the place wasn't packed, or maybe it's normally not busy during lunch time. We were immediately seated and served with water. We then found the place cold and sort of windy (a/c?) for some reason. All of us had the jackets on while eating which is a bit awkward ans uncomfortable. For 3 of us, we spent $200 excluding tips on: Assorted sashimi $65 - 40 pieces in total. The selections are very common like salmon, tai, spot prawn etc. Nothing outstanding. Moody roll $13- this supposed to be seared but I don't really taste the difference. I don't think it's seared enough. Lobster roll $24.95- the lobster was a bit over done as it becomes dry and tasted no difference from a normal dynamite roll Unagi plate $24- this is nice and well done. Probably the only item i' d go back for. Seared toro nigiri $4 each - fish is fresh but not seared enough. Spoiled IMO Uni nirigi $3 or $4 each? Can't remember the exact $ - I didn't like the texture. Deep fried baby octopus $10? - I found it to be a little chewy. Deep fried banana with ice cream $8 - this is nice and big enough to be shared by 3 ppl. Grilled salmon head - complimentary- it's too dry and lack of flavour..i must say I make better ones at home. Sorry. Overall, I think the price is on a higher end as I could definitely found places with better quality on the same or lesser price range. The service is very good though as the food came really quickly and our tea is always filled up. read more

Ordered house salad, dynamite roll, h.o.t. making roll, ebi mayo, 1 piece mackerel nigiri. The house salad was just sad, most of the leafs had withered, rotten and old. The size was not a good portion either for 12.99 it was a rip off and not worth the money. The rest of the stuff wasn't anything g special. read more

I'm not sure what happened but the quality of the food here seemed to go downhill. The only good thing is it's open til late. A few years ago back in 2013 the sushi here was delicious and teriyaki was great. I've been here recently and it's just not the same anymore, not sure if it's under a different management after the fire. I am gluten intolerant and I asked for gluten free soya sauce but it tasted like alcohol and the sushi rolls weren't as fresh as they used to be so it's a bit disappointing because there's not too many places in Coquitlam that are open late I mean there is this restaurant and boston pizza that are open late within the area other than that not sure about anything else. read more
