    You order off an iPad. The iPad has pictures of all the food and if you look at the bottom of the menu there is a spot to ask for spoons and extra water and whatnot. The waitress brings condiments and drinks and the bill, and your food shoots out of the kitchen on a fun train. Our food was good and the waitress was very pleasant.

    Very rainy day at English Bay area. Found this sushi place to try. Instead of a conveyor belt, it was mainly a train delivery style. Most food are ordered on an IPAD and delivered to you buy the train. For a certain amount of sushi you purchase, you can play a game on the ipad and win special discount offer. Pretty neat! Ordered a bunch of sushi, nigiri, and fried food. I've seen not so good reviews here of this place, but the food was actually pretty delicious! Flavorful and fresh. Everything came out pretty quick. Service was pretty attentive.

    Love this place! Prices are reasonable and easy to order from a screen and you watch your food delivered straight to your table! Genius! Great entertainment and lots of great items to select from the menu. The sashimi is fresh. The portions are not large but the quality makes up for it.

    IPad for ordering.

    I met a fellow Yelpie here for dinner, for the special, annual "Dine Out Vancouver" menu. To be honest, we were both underwhelmed. The restaurant is cute enough, with a fairly unique food delivery concept: instead of the conveyor belt system in many west coast sushi restaurants, this place has a "bullet train" bring your food to your table in a channel running alongside the table booths. The food is presented nicely in black matte, modern dishware, the servers are pleasant, and they have mounted iPads at each table for diners to order what they want, or notify staff that they're ready to pay the bill. The food is fresh. In particular, the sashimi was delicious. But beyond that, the rest is...meh. The Dine Out Van menu consisted of the following appetizers: Miso soup, Tamago Yaki, Gomae and Spring Roll. Then there was the main sushi meal: 2 pcs Salmon, 1 pc Sockeye & 2 pcs Tuna Sashimi, 1 pc Izumi Dai & 1 pc Saku nigiri, 1 pc salmon and 1 pc ebi and 2 pcs special roll. Then there was a dessert of a Happy Pudding. We weren't thrilled with the meal. Yes, the sashimi was quite good, and I really liked the spring roll and the salmon. The ebi was also good but chewy. I wasn't keen on the other pieces. Some had off-putting seasonings and spices. One literally tasted like pepperoni from a pizza (very distinctive taste. Weird, in a sushi piece). Just odd. And then there was the dessert. The pudding was straight from the store, in its plastic little cup and tinfoil lid. When you go out for dinner, you don't expect to get a store-bought dessert. I have literally see these puddings in Shoppers Drug Marts and Japanese food stores. Our Dine Out meal cost $36. Was it worth it? My friend and I did not think so. On the way out, we passed metal shelving by the front door with a large brown bag on the floor, covering some spill, and cleaning supplies. Not impressive.

    Decided to go with another fellow yelper to check out this trendy new sushi place. The concept of having a train deliver food is cute. It has a casual ambiance. The food was okay overall and nothing out of the ordinary. We tried the dine-out menu, and I have to say that for 36$, it was not worth it. Came with Miso soup to start with. We also had some sashimi(2 pieces of salmon, 1 piece of sockeye, 2 pieces of tuna), tamago, a spring roll, and a spinach salad with black sesame dressing (gomae). The food was fresh, and sashimi was the best part of the appetizer. Next, we had 1 piece Izumi Dai (which was very chewy), 1 piece Saku Nigiri, 1 piece salmon and 1 piece ebi aburi (tasted like pizza), and 2 pieces of the special roll. I was disappointed with the Izumi Dai and the ebi aburi. For the dessert, we got a 'HAPI PUDDING' and it was so unappetizing and anti-climatic. If I wanted that, I would have gone to a convenience store. It also took a long time to get our bill. I am really disappointed with the menu and would have given a 2.5 star but I rounded it to 3 stars. I don't know if I'd be inclined to come back as the service was not great and the experience was disappointing.

    This is a super fun restaurant! Nothing fancy and maybe a little gimmicky with the sushi train going around but it kept my kiddo entertained. And the rolls are really good here. We ordered a number of them. The Hot Crunchy Ebi Roll was our favourite but all were fresh and tasty. The other one that stood out was the pinky pinky roll. But all were good. And even though there was a train going around delivering the servers were also going around seeing if we needed anything. The seafood yaki udon was tiny for the price of 8 bucks but otherwise I think roll wise very good price point. This seems to be the issue that anything that is not rolls seems to be overpriced. Maybe not order that here. However if you are in the area and have kids which would love this (or adults) and want to have a variety of rolls check this place out.

    Nice vegan sushi options! Pair a vegan sushi + agedashi tofu and you have a nice vegan meal. The tree mori roll was good - the shiitake mushrooms were especially chewy, replicating a texture similar to squid. I was pleasantly surprised! The pricing is quite reasonable for sushi as well. Would recommend.

    Great place to get your sushi. A good experience place to get your sushi delivered to you by train. Sushi aboard has opened for very long time but not a lot of people know it so definitely a hidden gem. So i definitely recommend you guys coming here for the experience with sushi! Recommended!!

    This place is so fun! The food comes out super fast on the mini bullet train. It's so efficient! Fish is fresh and the rolls were good. It's not amazing food compared to other sushi joints, but it's fun and I would come here again.

    Excellent really. Super friendly staff, love the table side menu complete w pics, able to order from the table a huge win. Food super fast and fresh. Really enjoyed here :)

    Receiving Sushi via train sounds very exciting and futuristic. At Sushi Aboard, the host shows your seat, gives you water and in the bring you bill. You are seated, there is tablet with the menu. You choose what you want, and send your orders, and maybe 5 minutes later your food arrives via mini train. The concept is interesting. 1st thing I didn't like, there is no warning or bell that your food is arriving. I would have loved to make a video. When our food arrived; unfortunately it wasn't up too the par. The rice was over cooked. The fishes were very bland despite the soy sauce and wasabi. The whole idea is cool but the quality is poor.

    Friends asked to try this place out. It's a novel concept outside of Japan. Basically, you order everything from the tablet, a programmed train will stop in front of your table with your order. Most seating takes up to 4 people. The prices are a tad more expensive, and the taste is mediocre. I don't know if I'll come back again.

    Nicki W.

    We were looking for food in town and this was across the street from where we were staying. We wondered in, and their last call was soon, but would still seat us. The train that delivers your food is super cute. We were really surprised at the quay of fish, some of the best we tasted. We didn't get to try any rolls, but the sashimi was all very good.

    Everything is fine except the food. The fish was not fresh and the aburi sushi was cold as hell. Won't recommend this place.

    Fun concept/theme but the food is mediocre for its price tag. Not sure if I'll come back.

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.
