I was in Vancouver for the day and had heard so many great things about this place, so I came in…read morewith pretty high expectations. We arrived around 2 PM for our reservation and were greeted warmly right away, which made for a great first impression. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The bamboo divider running through the middle of the space gave it a cozy, modern Japanese-inspired feel, and the overall atmosphere was probably my favorite part of the experience. As for the food, unfortunately it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. I ordered the seafood sizzler bowl, and while it wasn't bad by any means, it felt underwhelming for the price. The bowl was mostly rice, with a few small prawns, tiny scallops, a little roe, and some crab mixed in. I was expecting something more seafood-forward, so it ended up feeling more like a deconstructed fried rice than the premium dish I had envisioned. Same with the unagi bowl, couple small pieces of unagi cut up... The appetizers were actually the highlight of the meal and ended up being more memorable than my main course. I kept waiting for a dish to really wow me, but nothing stood out enough to make me crave a return visit. Maybe I just ordered the wrong items, because I know this place has plenty of fans. Overall, I'm glad I tried it, but based on this visit, I don't see myself making a special trip back.

I also ordered bbq skin salad; salmon was good, dressing was on the salty side for me. Reservations needed! Restaurant has few tables, attention was enough, given 1-1/2 hours before next seating, which was more than adequate. Definitely recommend! Entrance is on the street side, not on the interior side where parking is.

There was a sign at the door that said they were fully booked so I almost walked away. But a lady opened the door and let me in. I got seated right away. Inside is simple, they only have a few tables. I'd recommend calling ahead. I only had time to get the chef's nigiri selection. Food came was and it was amazing. I love it when the nigiri is perfectly seasoned and doesn't need extra soy sauce or wasabi. The nori on the chopped scallop gunkan was crunchy. The amaebi was perfectly sweet, bouny and salty. Each piece was melt in your mouth tender. I would had ordered more but had to run out. 5/5 for food, location isn't great.

Although the price is quite high for only three pieces, there was scallop, ika, eel and salmon among other things. I really liked this roll with a great rice texture and ratio. Aburi Salmon Combo - three seared salmon nigiri which again has perfect rice despite being ready-made along with a salmon maki. Price again is high but everything was on point. Mini Bento Box - this was a great deal for under $10 with a smaller but sufficient amount of rice with a piece of chicken karaage, tempura, ajifry and some ground pork. Although it was quite small, one could be full on this small box and the variety is what I thrive on! Overall, a great place for grab and go sushi with a higher price tag and out farther from central Richmond but easily a place I'd go again!

They told us to join the google waitlist when we wanted to come in so we checked about an hour beforehand and there was no active waitlist online. We were seriously refreshing the screen as we were driving over to the restaurant. When we got to the restaurant they told us to join the waitlist and lo and behold there were already 5 people ahead of us!! The restaurant is small and the waiting area even smaller -- with 5 ahead of us we ended up waiting about an hour!! We got the dinner sets of soba/sushi, chirashi, and unagi. Everything tasted solid but seems small for the price. My little (who doesn't eat much) finished the whole meal set and said she was only 50% full and proceeded to eat snacks in the car after dinner. The staff spoke Japanese so you know it's pretty authentic but for the price and the wait, it could've delivered more.

Each roll is made in front of you with all of the fish tasting super fresh. My favorite is the truffle lobster roll - you smell the truffle aroma at the same time as you eat the luscious lobster meat. Service was totally spot on and they went above and beyond. They initially forgot to start making my order but they made it up to me with the salmon oshi and edamame brought out by the head chef. I was sipping on the Hello Ocha drink so it didn't feel like I was waiting too long but their effort to make up for the initial wait was super appreciated. Highly recommend (they also have late night happy hour)

The menu contains a variety of rice combo dishes that you can select (pork, chicken, beef, fois gras, curry) and a tempura noodle set as well. Occasionally, they also have specials as well. My boyfriend and I ordered the beef set and the tempura noodle set with pork. I love how there are a variety of side dishes that come with the set. This is great for those who like variety and want to have a complete meal with all the food groups. My favourite is definitely the pickled daikon/carrot and the cabbage salad! The food is not too salty and the broth was perfectly seasoned for my palate. My boyfriend also ordered an espresso romano which I had never tried before. The foam on top was surprisingly refreshing with a tart aftertaste of lime. The prices were also very fair with most sets averaging around $19-20 before tax. You order at the counter and pay after you're finished. This is a great place for a quick bite especially if you're in the Ironwood area of Richmond.

Their sushi rolls weren't anything special but the sauces were delicious. Only thing was the hamachi kama (grilled yellowtail collar) - it was a bit dry, but it was huge.

We ordered 2 Signature Zen, sushi platter (I forgot which), and una soba (grilled unagi with hot soba based on katsuo. They are so good -- smooth in the palate and well seasoned.
