Stumbled upon this place by accident and so glad that we did! Such a fun vibe with plenty of tvs on for sports and a super cute bar style patio for people watching. Sushi was fresh and affordable and we were overall impressed by the kind server and good food - they are open until 1am and usually that doesn't reflect the highest quality food. Will definitely be back for Dailey specials, happy hour, and to try some fusion items! read more

A hidden gem of a patio on Main Street! No one ever sits outside on it either when we're there and we've been a lot for happy hour. The sun hits it just right and you're shielded from the wind, it's such a great spot. Overall we've always been pleasantly surprised by how good the food is here. We've tried quite abit on their menu and every time we order the Spicy Tofu - it's my fave tofu dish I've ever had. Super crispy exterior and super soft on the inside served in a sticky dark spicy sauce. The scallop role was also delish! We've also had their oysters as well and their fries which came out piping hot. We've also tried their salmon Oshi and tuna roll and tuna cone - all good! Service is always really friendly and fast and their beer is always ice cold and served in chilled glasses! Recommend if you want a casual cheap and quality bite! read more

I found this place having discovered "Saigon Secret" on GoogleMaps and food ordering apps, which is really just the name of the Vietnamese section of the menu here. That is, Saigon Secret is just Simply Delicious, but it has a separate Vietnamese menu, including a vegan pho ($16 plus tax), which is what got me in. So I ordered that and my food came out within 15 minutes. The soup came with a generous portion of thin vermicelli, fried tofu, veggies (gai lan, cabbage and carrot), and, more unusually, a sort of fried veggie fritter (almost like a latke), a nice touch. The broth was reasonably flavoured, with a nice subtle star anise character. Nothing overly interesting but well-done overall, and a big portion that certainly made me full. Atmosphere-wise, this fees like a somewhat rundown hipsterish eatery, and not anything like a Vietnamese hole in the wall. Service was friendly enough and competent. With so many great Vietnamese places on Main St--including many with great vegan options--this place doesn't stand out. Instead, for killer vegan pho nearby on Main, try Pho Goodness, Bon Cafe, Ivy, Cambie, or even Anh and Chi. But it's pretty solid if you happen to find yourself constrained to this specific block for some reason. read more

It seems that establishments tend to close much earlier than they did did pre Covid, Simply Delicious is one that remains opened until late these days. The restaurant is located on the second floor, so you'll have to look around for it. They offer a range of Asian cuisine, nothing specific though, theres a small menu for sushi, Japanese rice bowls, pho, beer and much more! P.s. I hear karaoke is also plug and go! Food is more on the mediocre end, flavours are there but nothing spectacular, to be fair we came here late for some grub anyways, was definitely not looking for fine dine. The short ribs rice bowl I got was okay - it lack a bit of umami sauciness, but the ribs were tender, flavorful and delicious - the staff was very nice to bring me a small ponzu sauce on the size to have with the rice. Nothing crazy about the sushi rolls either, but for late night emergency food, perfect. read more

Food was awesome and since we went during happy hour, the price was right too! Great place to go to on a Friday or Saturday night as it has a sports bar theme yet everything on the menu is Asian. Our server was super nice too! Definitely going back! read more

Updated review: Ordered delivery from Uber eats late night cause I was craving sushi and wanted to give them another chance and I'm honestly really glad I did - The fish freshness quality improved so much and the rice ratio is way better now. I also got a buy one get one free deal with the pork spring rolls. For sushi, I got a salmon avocado roll and a aburi salmon roll. The salmon avocado roll was really fresh and was the perfect bite, the salmon aburi roll is kind of like an alaska roll just that the fish is torched and has aburi sauce, it was super tasty. My favourite dish were the pork spring rolls, they're Vietnamese style. The fish sauce was soo tasty, better than some I've has in Vietnamese restaurants and the roll was so crunchy and filled with lots of pork. Overall, I still need to try their food in store and definitely will do that soon! read more

I would give 0 stars if i could. The food is alright but the female manager has horrible customer service.

I ordered the food so I can't judge the staff or atmosphere :) Food: 5/5 I got the special roll combo and it was really good! It comes with 4 pieces of each of the following rolls: rainbow roll, BBQ unagi roll, veganlicious roll, and aburi salmon roll. Each are flavorful and I would definitely get them again. I especially love the aburi salmon! Price: 4/5 It costs $22 (I got it for $18 because of a doordash discount), which is pretty reasonable for what you're getting. A full size special roll is $12-14 Of course, I can't give a full review since I haven't been to the restaurant, but I do recommend ordering this combo :) If I get the chance to go to the restaurant in the future, I'll give an update read more

A good place on Main Street for late night happy hour, $6 shots and $4 wells shots sounds good to me. The food is ok... the best thing their is their grill whole squid and their chicken fried rice. read more

So I'm going to give this location a 3.5 out of 5. I've lived close to the area for all my life but had never noticed this place. The decor is cool, it was pretty dead at happy hour (as expected in these times). Our waitress was very pleasant and attentive. We ordered sushi, which was pretty ok, the wings that were really good, veggies, oysters which were really good, and topped it off with Japanese beer. I heard that in the past this place has a sketchy crowd in the evenings, but during the day, it was just us and 2 other people. It's pretty big, so it looked empty. I would come back here for cheap beer and oysters if i'm in the area. There are way better locations on Main Street, but it depends on what you're in the mood for. If you like cheap Sapporo by the pitcher, come here for HH. read more

Deluxe sashimi, assorted oishii sushi, dynamite roll. Pretty good food, fastly made but mediocre service. Girls could care less about providing service. The way the order was packed was so beautiful though, they left a note saying thanks for the support. Sad to be spoiled by unhappy faces ): read more

The biggest compliment I can give is my continued patronage. I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered to this point (4+ to date). The dishes are consistently great. My personal favourite are the Jappa Fries and Salvo roll. Looking forward to my next order! read more

Some great appetizers like the baked oyster and the press seared salmon. They could just use some ambience lighting for a full 5 star review read more

Worst service ever. We made a reso for 50 ppl for a birthday. Service was beyond slow. They knew a big party was coming, they should have scheduled the staff accordingly. We had a rude blonde as our server. She wasn't around for 90% of the time. Food was meh. Short ribs are just fat. Don't waste your time coming here. read more

Seemed a tad sketchy from the outside but Simply Delicious left me pleasantly surprised! A decent place to grab drinks and a bite to eat! The food was quite tasty if I'm being honest with you. I ordered an avocado roll to test the waters and what an avocado roll it was! Neatly rolled and packed with large, fresh pieces of avo. For the price, it was even better than budget competitors like Sushi Garden/Sushi California! We also had their tempura caesar, salmon kama, a dragon roll, and some chicken wings. Everything else was just aight ~ nothing offensive/out of the ordinary! Nancy T. sums it up perfectly: just a chill and low key place for drinks! Will return! read more

Great service! Best server and owner! Good and amazing! Do recommend this place! Owners are the best!

This eatery is awesome. I have been coming here for over 10 years now since it became THE SD or Simply Delicious. Hallel our server was on point, friendly, attentive and quick to the delivery. You must come see her and the rest of the friendly staff both in the kitchen and front of the house! #support local. read more

Overpriced sashimi! Sushi rolls were small. Also the Aburi was not up to Vancouver standards. We ordered a spicy salmon dish and they came out with a normal 3 piece sashimi. We returned the dish to the kitchen but they came back out with the same plate and spicy sauce on the side. Please don't come here for sushi unless you're planning on getting ripped off. The cheaper happy hour drinks are the only saving grace but that's only from 4-6pm. read more

Patio, cheap drinks, decent sushi, and open late! Not a destination by any means, but it is a fun spot to grab a drink and people watch on Main, and the only place I can think of in the neighbourhood that's open past midnight. The happy hour specials are quite good, $3 - $4 for a selection of beer, wine, and highballs. The most recent time I visited I thought the sushi had noticeably improved (particularly enjoyed the BBQ eel roll - yum). Standard rolls are $3-5 with more innovative options from $7-10, also a selection of wings and other appetizers reasonably priced. You can fill up and have a drink for $20! read more

Sadly, it's not what it used to be. We came a lot over the years, however the slow, forgetful and inattentive service won't have us coming back, too many other great sushi restaurants in Vancouver, sorry! read more

Although mostly dealing in raw fish and sticky rice rolls, Simply Delicious is also secretly a great spot for live performances. This restaurant is set up very well for shows, easily transforming at night to give bands and performers centre stage. Their amazing in house sound system means you can hear the acts clearly from the back of the room. Bartenders are plentiful and quick with most (simple orders), and the kitchen is open all night. Entertaintment while eating california rolls in a booth with the company of your choice and cheap high balls. And if you drink too many of those, you can work it off shuffling on the dance floor. Bathrooms are clean, room is dark and loud at night, no comment on daytime activities. read more

I have been here a few times and wonder how big the menu is and how the prices are very decent. The staff are friendly in a sit anywhere you want atmosphere. I do like the space in where it reminds me of somewhere out there in Asia. However it was more of a four star place than a five star decor however a cozy place. I ordered the oyster which came in fresh and tasty with a great sauce that came with it. The spinach gomae was a tasty with a nice peanut sauce to compliment the spinach. Later on I got the chicken karaage which came in very hot so I had to wait til the chicken was colder so i could consume it and not get burnt. The waitress came by to top up my tea and the beer is very affordable here too! Later on I order the sunomono and it was the right consistancy of every sunomono you ordered everywhere. The bill came with me and my friend and it was $32 with food and 2 beers which is a great deal. I would come back again and reccommend this to people looking for a bite to eat late at night on Main st. read more

i order from them all the time and always tasty foods. i usually the chicken don bowl. great value and delicious

My review is based on my recent takeout experience. The staff adorned my bag with a cute illustration and a sentiment of gratitude and well wishes. I had their avocado salad, which is simple but satisfying. I would suggest their veganlicious roll, which even if you're a carnivore I believe you'd enjoy. read more

I'm in from out of town and read the review and I was happy to try them. First of all omg the wings were fantastic! I'm not a huge fan of spice do I mentioned that and they happily put the chilli sauce on the side. They are so good! Crunchy on the outside and tastes and moist of the inside! Now my other favourite was the tuna salad! Yum! Crunchy and fresh and the ahi tuna was sliced thin and huge! I was totally impressed! Thank you for an amazing supper! I would highly recommend them! read more

Random hole in the wall kinda place with great live music! Funky asain infusion slash sushi joint. Pretty cheap menu! read more

Chill and low key place for drinks and snacks! Not as expensive as tapas too. I like how the music isn't as loud and you're able to talk with your friends without having to repeat ourselves. Gives me a very local loungey feel. Definitely not on the higher end but there's nothing wrong with that. I always order $4 jappa fries. Delicious! read more

OK, so not the classiest sushi place, or even the nicest decor. However, I used to love this place. I was fairly regular, but now I think I'm done. My favourite thing on the menu was the Philadelphia Roll, no rice! Wrapped in cucumber! Awesome! Until it comes soggy. The wings are good, but they came soggy as well. Dynamite roll was also a little off this time. There were six tables for the five servers there. However, it took over an hour and a half to complete the visit. Seems they're just not experienced to do this job properly. Seemingly no manager to keep an eye on things. Get it together guys! read more

Simply's is the best hang out. It's not the most boujie bar in the world but their staff is lovely and personable. The drinks are a great price, the food as well with a great selection of food, beers, cocktails and just everything. Open late and always a good time. Such an underrated hidden gem. It's also clear of any pretentious staff or clientele, always feel relaxed and at home at Simply D's! read more

Not very happy with this place. There were some people who decided to go out and smoke on the patio, multiple times. One member of my table went to ask them to stop, and they started acting threatening, with one particular person actually being visibly held back by another person who was out there with him. They continued to go out and smoke, and it was bothering us a lot, so we asked the servers if they could please ask them to stop. The next step was that they started becoming verbally abusive and hostile towards us at the table, and the manager finally came over and took them outside to talk. What did not impress me was, the manager then came over to us and said "They are going to leave you alone, so just leave them alone." Um, excuse me, but when some patrons are not only disrupting other patrons, but actually breaking the LAW in your restaurant, I am hardly impressed when you come over and tell us that we should "just leave them alone". Pity. The servers were actually very very nice, and one was very helpful with this whole situation, but I sincerely doubt I will be back there again, and considering my table consisted of mostly professsionals, including 2 Lawyers, I would not be surprised if this restaurant were to have more issues in the future, if this is the way that they allow other patrons to behave and this is the response of management. read more

I live right by here, so I've been by a number of times. This place is definitely unique... It's a sushi place, but it's trying to be more of a lounge, or place you'd go for drinks before heading out to the club or something... They've got neon lights, loud music, drink specials, scantily clad waitresses, room for large groups, and cheap food (99 cent california rolls)... 2 people I know separately nicknamed the place 'Trance Sushi' and 'Disco Sushi', so that should give you an idea of what it's like... One night I went they had open mic as well. The menu is huge and has tons of different stuff and although the food in general isn't anything special, it's decent, and as mentioned before, is cheap. Obviously this isn't a place you go to be amazed by the food, but for a good quick, cheap bite it's good, and I've been back numerous times. As long as you know what you're getting into you probably won't be disappointed. read more

I've been here a dozen times and I don't mind the food for the price. However, it's a nuisance in the neighbourhood due to loud live music and patrons that stay until 2 AM 7 days a week. It's an otherwise quiet area and how they have a license to play music like they're at a stadium, I don't know. After the music is over, the patrons, now deaf, file out and loiter around the front door gabbing, yelling or fighting with each other. Also, their bathroom is enough reason for a shut down on it's own. The door in the mens bathroom does not close, it just swings open, so you have to hold it while you do your business. It's been like this for as long as I can remember, well over a year. Moreover, the TV's show sports, but it's only standard definition and the image isn't the correct aspect ratio for the TV. While it's nice to have a place that's open late, I wish there was a better alternative. read more

The best place! Super unpretentious and easy to exist in, food is above average, and service is always attentive and charming. Have heard otherwise from some, but in my experience has always been great. Nightly drink specials are cheap and strong, and the sushi always tastes fresh. The room is insane and amazing (vacuum neon, spirit bear) and karaoke nights are my favourite in vancouver. read more

Had dinner there and it was absolutely terrible. Our food took over an hour and there were only 2 other tables that were occupied so I can't understand why it's take an hour. My friend and I ordered Salmon Sashimi and man the taste and texture was so off. I'm quiet curious why they served our sashimi on ICE CUBES. Also we ordered the short ribs but they were out of it and that it crazy since it's on the Sunday Special. I think they should change their restaurant name from Simply Delicious to Simply disappointing. I will never come back read more

The food is really good and cheap! The staff is really friendly and the owners are lovely! Always has a fun vibe!

Around 9pm I called in to order some sushi, the lady on the phone spoke broken english and had to repeat some things twice which is fine, but it made me worry they'll get my order wrong. I go to pick up 20mins later as per instructed and a lady went to check on my order. I watched her and she seemed like she couldn't find it and then she spoke with the woman with broken English seemingly apologizing (maybe did something wrong with my order?) she didn't come back to tell me what's going on so I assumed she went to fix my order so I waited for another 15mins before I tried to get her attention to see what's going on. The waitress looked at me, and then turned and walked away.... so we spoke with the girl with the broken English instead and she went to check up on our order. She came back saying there's been a mistake and it'll take 25mins to make my order... How do you forget my order TWICE? Especially when i'm standing in plain view as a reminder there's an order missing?? Service super disappointing and will not come back again. read more

Came here on Saturday night to watch ufc with the boys. Drink specials are really good ($3 highballs for happy hour and $4 pints) and there are two big projection screens on either side of the room. Food is relatively cheap and good. It's not gourmet but it is tasty. I had the crispy crunch roll and the jappa fries. I'll definitely be back again! read more

Got the Norovirus virus after eating oysters at this place. Not clean! I was sick and vomiting for two days after their oysters!

So it took an hour and a half to get a roll, while it wasn't even busy. Yea. Fuck that.
