    Inside

    One line review: Surprisingly good. A friend and I ate 'in' their smallish dining area. They apparently do a good bit of takeout business. We had: - Roll combo - Regular combo Their sushi was beautiful and carefully done -- a pleasant surprise at this price point. We were very pleased with our lunch. The service was unremarkable but adequate. We walked over, but I think the parking on that part of Broadway is free, and that would certainly be true in the neighbourhood. Bottom line: I'll definitely be back. I've already been back for a takeout platter and consider this my favourite sushi spot in that area.

    Inside out: The place is small and parking is typical for downtown. It's very clean with clear menus and great prices. There is plenty of seating. The staff: super friendly and helpful, fast service. I came in with a friend and we were greeted and served quickly. The food: prices and quality both decent, I loved the veggie roll selection! Sorry for a short review but it is simple to say it's a wonderful place to catch a meal!

    Went here on a Sunday afternoon and it was empty. I was prob the first customer of the day. The reason I decided to check this place out were the positive reviews and affordable prices. They have a wide variety of selections, including the lunch specials. I liked how they had posted photos of the most common/popular items ordered on a wall. Appropriate seatings for the size of the restaurant I had their spicy agedashi tofu + deep fried spicy tuna roll (new). I really enjoyed the tofu except for the spiciness level. I assumed it would some how be incorporated within the tofu or the sauce but it was literally just siracha added on top - and for this reason, they charged an additional 0.25$ because there's also the nonspicy agedashi tofu. And I saw hot sauce on another table just sitting there - it's not the money but the principal and quality of the dish I'm upset about. Another thing I was surprised to see was the presentation of the tofu - all of them served inside the dipping sauce. It was odd at first but I think it worked because the crispiness of the tofu absorbsed the sauce which gave it a flavour The deep fried spicy tuna roll - I was surprised to see the tuna being cooked for this dish. For some reason, I was expecting the tuna to be raw and only the roll deep fried. Because I was expecting something raw, I didn't like this dish overall. But I think that if I knew it was cooked fish, it would have tasted good

    It's honestly a shame that the first photo of this place that pops up is of one person's bad experience because the owners and food here is great. This is my boyfriend and I's favorite reasonably priced sushi spot in Vancouver and we've always had great service and food. They will deliver to you for free if your order is at least $45. They only use wild salmon but don't charge extra for it, which is a big plus for me. I wouldn't recommend it as a sit-down place if that's what you're looking for as it's fairly small on the inside, but even if you're just inside waiting to pick up your order they will give you hot tea which is a nice bonus. Recommendations: 1. The veggie combo box is delicious!! 2. Any of the combo boxes will get you the most out of your money as you get 12-15 pieces of sushi for ~$8 3. The red/white dragon rolls are some of their pricier rolls but are absolutely delicious

    Overall, decent sushi rolls for the best value I've seen at a Japanese place in Vancouver. Great for a snack or for providing quantity to fill you up. -------- Visited this place after visiting UBC on the West side looking for a light snack. This place was a small mom and pop shop with their entire menu posted on the wall in picture form, which helped us decide on the Special #1, 17pcs of sushi rolls (dynamite, tuna, salmon, avocado) for only $8.50!! Best value in Japanese food I've seen in Vancouver. The rice was done well with just the right amount of vinegar and texture. The 5pc dynamite roll did indeed come with 2 pieces of shrimp tempura. They also had a $23 roll platter featuring over 100 pcs of sushi rolls (half vegetarian) that I would totally get if I had a party to share with.

    We popped into this little gem for takeout. We brought our husbands back for a Saturday night dinner. There is no license yet. Good Bento boxes. The sushi and sashimi are extremely fresh and delicious. This is a lovely locally owned business. We will return.

    Service is incredibly slow. It took so long to get the attention of the waitress. Taste of the food is okay but not worth the wait.

    I would give Tom Sushi 6 stars if I could. This is one of my all time favorite sushi places. I…read morefound out about this restaurant from a few different YouTubers who highly recommended it. Not just for great sushi, but really affordable prices as well. Yes, the wait for a table can get long. We waited about 45 minutes, and there's no area to wait except outside or go take a walk since they will text you when your table is ready. I also appreciate seeing where my place in line is through Yelp! First, a shoutout to the wonderful service here. Everywhere I go in Vancouver the service is great, but the server here was so friendly, helpful and efficient. The ambiance is really nice here and I love the place settings! We had a lot, so here is my breakdown: Spicy Agedashi Tofu - lightly fried tofu in a sauce that reminded me of gochuchang sauce. 7/10 Gyoza - crispy fried with a pork/veggie filling. 6/10 Karaage chicken - on the bone, but delicious nonetheless. Served with a mayo sauce. 7/10 Tuna Bomb - 10/10 this came out last because it takes longer to make. This is an absolute must-do. Crispy rice patties with a spicy tuna spread that you just place on the rice. Salmon jalapeno aburi hako - 10/10 I have been excited about this since I heard about it. The seared salmon on top of rice with a shrimp tempura running through the middle. The salmon and sauce on top melt in your mouth. Red Dynamite Roll - 9/10 this was my brother's favorite. I wanted it to be a bit spicier, but that said it's still so amazing. Mango Flower Roll - 9/10 if you like mango then you will love this. This also just melts in your mouth and that mango is just so fresh. California roll - 8/10 as great as a California roll can be! No complaints here! Rainbow Roll - I didn't get to try it, but my niece gave it a 10/10! I will definitely be coming back here again.

Each piece gets torched over charcoal which gives it this smoky, melt-in-your-mouth quality, and the specialty sauces mean you don't even reach for the soy (they will also say to your face not to, so unless you want to endure their judgement--which my husband happily does--I'd stay away from soy sauce for the aburi. Their salmon oshi is well known, I love the ebi oshi the most but definitely get both and decide for yourself. The whole menu delivers though, from the sashimi to the rolls to the cocktails, all of it beautifully plated without feeling fussy. The space is nice too, took a big group of family here once after an event and they all loved it. And if you're here in the summer ask about the garden patio out back. It's an elevated experience but never stuffy. Perfect for a date night or when you want to treat yourself. Reservations are a good idea because it fills up. Easily one of my favourite spots in Yaletown though!

    I went here for a special occasion dinner. Reservations are highly recommended because they are…read morevery small - 12 diners per sitting and 2 sittings per night. I made reservations about 4 months in advance. Upon arrival, one of the hostesses opened the door for us, and asked us to wait in a very ornate waiting area. We only waited a couple of minutes before another hostess seated us at the main seating area. The space is very dark, and only lit with candles while the rest of the diners trickled in. During that time they take drink orders, which is limited to sake, wine, beer and a few non-alcoholic drinks. Of note, they don't provide a drink menu, so we were a little surprised by the cost - the yuzu sake and the plum wine were $30 each. My non-alcoholic drink was $12, but a fair size. The theatrical portion started a few minutes later than the official start time - closer to 6pm. The shades lifted, the lights turned on, and the chefs introduced themselves. And from that moment on, they immediately went to work preparing our meal. They operate like clockwork to show the ingredients whole to the diners, and then preparing them, and serving them. Soon as the one dish was completed by all the diners, the next round came shortly after. Over 20+ dishes, there was very little wait time in between each. Each time a dish was served, a hostess was there to describe the dish and provided tips on how best to eat it. The food was overall was very good. I thought a few items were very average, most of them were very good, and a select few were truly outstanding. Most of the ingredients are imported from Japan, so I would imagine that it's part of the reason it's so expensive. This is definitely a splurge meal. I think half the diners at our sitting was celebrating a birthday. On the most part, the food is very good, watching the chefs at work is part of the entertainment, and the service is excellent. It's not some place I could afford to go to often, but glad to do it at least this one time.

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.
