Great food, good quality sushi rice. Other items were good too! Finally a Japanese owned Japanese restaurant in TriCities, with real, authentic taste and flavours. The other so called Japanese restaurants are at best average. This one is in Port Coquitlam in a quiet location. Definitely recommended. read more

It's rare to come across authentic Japanese restaurants so if you're around the area, I'd definitely give this place a try! A no-nonsense restaurant that has simple decorations, but really fresh food. Came on a weekday and had made a reservation, but it was quite quiet around dinner time. Isobe-Age (4/5) - $7.25 Taste: Never had an appy quite like this - raw tuna wrapped in tempura style seaweed. It was fresh, served warm, and the dashi broth that it was dipped in was delicious. The textures were complex, the fish was soft, while the seaweed was crunchy and somehow it worked. However, I'm not sure if I would have preferred this served as either a cold dish or a hot dish, but instead it was a bit of both? Portion Size: 4 pieces Deluxe assorted nigiri sushi (5/5) - $34.75 Taste: I would order this again in a heartbeat. They offer a wide selection of fish that is not served at most Japanese restaurants including shima-aji, homemade tamago, amaebi. I think the quality of the fish is extremely fresh and comparable to omakase spots in Vancouver. The tamago was especially delicious and I don't even typically prefer tamago. Portion Size: Good portion for 1 person [Value for Money] While it's quite far away from the city, I can vouch for the drive out. It's worth it to try this restaurant for the quality of its fish. Perhaps omakase you can get elsewhere, but the deluxe assorted sushi itself was WELL worth its price. read more

Didn't really have high expectations coming here cuz personally I haven't had good experience eating Japanese food in Coquitlam in general. But was pleasantly surprised by this place! It's kind of in a strange area and after trying the food I'm honestly surprised they're not more busy than they are. It's a pretty solid sushi place overall and I would highly recommend getting their assorted sashimi! I wasn't expecting much because usually assorted sashimis have the regular sashimi and maybe one or two more premium ones, nothing fancy. But this places assorted sashimi had quite a lot of premium fish! This is the first place I've tried that offer abalone, koshoudai, and salmon belly in assorted sashimi and needless to say, I'm coming back to try their deluxe sashimi next time. Oh and of course the sashimi were pretty fresh! Also the boy server who I believe is the son of the couple who owns the restaurant is hilarious! Love the chill vibe and he was very attentive. read more

We came on a weekday evening with reservation and needless to say, the restaurant was pretty empty when we came and no reservation was needed. This is a mom and pop shop and while I came across reviews regarding bad service, our young male server was quite charismatic. He was quirky and it was refreshing. We didn't find him very helpful in terms of answering our questions or giving recommendations, but he made the effort to find out answers to our questions. Our food came out quite slow, but this is understandable given that only two people were working in the kitchen and there were takeout orders to fulfill. We ordered the beef carpaccio, assorted sashimi, deluxe nigiri, and soft shell crab roll. The beef carpaccio was delicious. It was soft and buttery and was so refreshing from the acid of the ponzu. The assorted sashimi had a good variety. My bf ordered this so I can't comment on the taste. He mentioned that it tasted okay though some were a bit fishy. The deluxe nigiri was good value if you want to try a bit of everything. I really liked the scallop nigiri and enjoyed that they were traditionally prepared - one bite with a touch of wasabi inside. The blue crab roll tasted like your typical dynamite roll, but made with soft shell crab instead. I would've preferred the crab to be a bit crispier, but other than that, that was a solid dish. Overall, this is a hidden little family joint serving up some traditional Japanese dishes. Our 4 dishes and 2 green teas came to around $120, which isn't overly expensive considering the food ordered though it isn't necessarily affordable on a day-to-day basis. read more

Sensational food. Very tasty! Some of the best sushi I have ever had! Service was incredible!! The owners are a sensational couple! read more

Overall, the food is delicious and authentic but small in proportion. Tried this place out since it's moved to a new location. The setting is a lot nicer than it once was. We went on a Thursday evening. There was only 1 waitress for a full house so it was hard to get drinks. It died down by about 8pm so it was fine after that. We always try the chopped scallop and bc rolls when we go places and we really liked theirs! The BC rolls had a subtle but good charred flavour albeit the pieces were small (to be technical, 6 pieces, each about 1.5cm in radius and less than 1cm in thickness). The chopped scallop was amazing. Very fresh, clean tasting and I couldn't stop eating them (this was more average sized. A bit smaller than the BC roller in radius but about an inch thick). For rolls in the tri cities area, they were more expensive and on the smaller side. We also ordered the nabeyaki udon hot pot in regular sized. It came with a lot of vegetables and the udon as toothy (wish there was more) and 2 tempura prawns on the side. I enjoyed this but will probably try something else next time. read more

Authentic Japanese sushi bar in Port Coquitlam. This place is run by an old Japanese couple, this place, and they serve wide variety of traditional Japanese food. They also offer seasonal fish from time to time. Here is what we got: Salmon Nanban - breaded salmon bites with nanban sauce Golden Nugget - breaded crab meat served with mustard sauce Nigiri and roll platter Nigiri: Uni, Tamago, Tobiko with Quail Egg. Orion-Okinawa beer Gordon Red Ale Overall, everything was tasty! I loved their wasabi! I am not a fan of wasabi as I am not a fan of spicy food, but their wasabi was sweet and not spicy. They are definitely not using mustard wasabi like other places. The sushi was fresh and my favorite was the tobiko with Quail eggs nigiri. The tobiko was fresh and not fishy, the eggs add some creaminess to the bite. All of their deep fried dishes were amazing too! Love the mustard sauce that was served with breaded crab meat. It complements the breaded crumbs and makes the dish less oily. The nanban was served with ponzu sauce, so it was refreshing. Additionally, they also serve huge range of Japanese beer. The Orion beer was very light and refreshing, while the Gordon Red Ale was bitter and strong. Love the Orion beer! overall, I really enjoyed all the food, but they are on the pricier side. Nevertheless, true hidden gem! I recommend this place! read more

It's either tough Yelpers or food connossieurs like myself; I can honestly give a hoot about attitude, I'm just here for the food, not to make friends lol Ordered their Cali & House Roll, true winners, very fresh & deleesh.

This is the only place in the Tri-Cities that I now eat at for sushi. I have been her multiple times and it has been consistently great every single time. Great service, great food and never disappointed! read more

Haven't been here since the pandemic but I am thrilled that they are still here. My husband and I had clam miso soup, agedashi tofu, kaisen salad, and nigiri platter. The flavor of each dish was spot on and so fresh. I was able to avoid deep fried and high sugar foods. After most restaurant meals my blood sugars are usually very high especially after sushi but not after dining at Shyun's. We will definitely be back as this restaurant checks all the boxes!!! read more

Shyun is family runned Japanese restaurant that serves a lot of your traditional Japanese sashimi, sushi, rice and noodle dishes. You'll also find a few unique dishes amongst its menu. A few of the unique dishes we tried and liked was the isobe-age (seaweed wrapped tuna tempura in a dashi broth) and unagi stone grill (unagi rice set that come with a kettle of broth that you pour into the left over crispy rice in the stone pot). The unagi stone grill was really good but i found the portion on the smaller side. We also had the salmon oishi and shyun roll which both quite comparable to your usually Japanese restaurants. Price is decent and similar to what you expect at your regular sushi joints. The restaurant is a bit quite when we went - possibly because of its location, but the service is friendly and they check up on you regularly to make sure you are enjoying your meal. I would come back for the unagi stone grill! read more

Excellent quality, always fresh and delicious!!! We don't get here often enough but certainly enjoy the food and service when we do! Highly recommended! Shyun House roll is our favourite, Negitoro roll is the best ever and the Fundraising roll is outstanding. So good!!!! read more

This is a surprisingly authentic Japanese restaurant in the small town of Port Coquitlam. If you like real Japanese food, then it is the best in the area. This place really blows my mind. The sushi and sashimi are great, and so are the cooked dishes. Considering the quality and variety of authentic Japanese food, the prices are very fair. It looks and feels like an expensive restaurant, but is quite reasonable. My #1 recommendation is the "Deluxe Chirashi", which includes Tempura, Karage, Sashimi and Sushi. It's a huge dinner and everything is delicious. I tried most of the side dishes and they were all pretty good as well. The only funny thing is that I couldn't find the Sushi Bar. So, not sure what happened there. Also have very friendly and attentive service. Can't wait to go back. read more

My absolute favourite sushi spot in BC. Out if the 4 I love this the most. Super friendly staffs, cute family setting business of a couple and their sons. Great food, super fresh and sometimes they have specials and all are great! Good sake and quite a few parking spots around. Amazing dessert especially poach pear with ice cream is my all time favourite. As for food I love their tuna dishes, golden nuggets, baked seafood, and super nice nigiri! Definitely have to visit it you won't regret it I promise!! read more

Super friendly family run very authentic Always our go to very fresh and reasonable prices They get to know you by name and warmly welcome you read more

This is my favourite local sushi restaurant, hands down. I've been there at least a dozen times, brought friends to try it out and they are always won over, even my Japanese friend who has very discriminating taste when it comes to sushi restaurants! The chef takes great pride in the quality and taste of the food, and you will notice attention to detail right down to the beautiful garnishes on the plates. Specialty items such as Kobe beef and Pine (Matsutake) mushrooms make appearances on their a la carte menu. Very affordable and not pretentious, but definitely a respectable sushi bar. Unfortunately I think a lot of people overlook its location, or drive past as they can't turn in if they are in the eastbound lane on Lougheed, but it's not hard to get to, and WELL worth a visit. You'll be back! read more

My coworker recommended me this place and took us an hour to come here. We got lost on the way here Totally worth it. So good and we are heading to Japan in 3 weeks but will be back here again before we go. Love this place read more

In my opinion this is the best authentic Japanese sushi place in the tri-city area. Their seafood is always fresh and 30% cheaper than similar places in downtown Vancouver area. The owners are friendly and professional. We love their chirashi Don . The rice is surprisingly seasoned to perfection. Highly recommended! read more

Outstanding salmon, tuna, shrimp and hamachi (yellowtail) sashimi. Mayo shrimp is yummy. Chef and hosts are Japanese and super friendly. They were actually closed post lunch hour rush, but they welcomed us in for a late lunch anyways. read more

Pretty darn good sushi place. Very nice decor and polite and friendly service. As per the other reviewers' suggestions I tried the Oyster Oyster from the a la cart menu and a couple cold appies (the gomae and the crab sunomono). I like my gomae creamier so was a little disappointed but the sunomono was good. It comes with shrimp also, which I was not expecting and never order, but otherwise very nice. The oyster with oyster mushrooms was very tasty but incredibly rich and oily so not for those on a diet. I have yet to try their rolls but they have a cheap California roll deal for lunch time. Maybe next time. Prices are reasonable and there are a lot of tasty looking options on the menu. I hope to come back again and try some more. For now, a 4 or 4 and a half stars. I will update when I return. read more

Just had yet another awesome dinner at the best sushi restaurant in the tri cities area. A real trained sushi chef from Japan and a wonderful family run restaurant makes for a great place to enjoy a great dinner. Fine quality fish and presentation you will not usually find in the suburbs. read more

Owned and Operated by Japanese chef and his wife. Went here on a Saturday night and had the best Sushi and other Japanese items, I have experienced within the Coquitlam/Maple Ridge area. Sushi was fresh and prepared properly. It's not Nobu or Tojo's but still very good. Everything is fresh and prepared in house. Restaurant has been around for 14 years. Prices are slightly higher than most knock off Japanese restaurants and you don't have to cut your California roll into 6 pieces to eat. I will be going here regularly from now on. read more

I was honestly quite disappointed, I downloaded Yelp just to make this revieq. Considering the price, the portions were incredibly small. Maki was flat, nigiri was squished thin (so it only looks big from the side), sashimi was SO thinly sliced--I've never seen sashimi that thin. Very stingy in terms of pickled ginger and wasabi. The only saving grace was their agadashi tofu, which is the best I've ever had :D But yeah, considering the price, and the fact that the small pieces weren't big on taste, I won't be coming back. It was better back when this place was called Sushi Shelter 101. read more

The food is awesome . Truly Japanese taste unlike other chinese & korean owned sushi places . The only one thing I don't like about this place is the woman who I believe is also the owner here . She always looks mean and barely smiles ... read more

Authentic little sushi restaurant. Looks fairly sketchy from the outside but the inside is nicely decorated. I recommend the grilled squid, lobster roll (daily special) and hotate (whole scallop) nigiri. read more

Good food. The major drawback ,however, is the lady server who seems to be one of the owners. She is just mean, mean, mean just like another reviewer mentioned below. In fact, a friend of mine warned me about the lady server and she ruined the good food. Would not return. read more

Authentic Japanese cuisine. Fresh fish, great selection. This is a family business run by a Japanese couple so don't expect 5 star service but it is best in Port Coquitlam. read more

My husband brought me to this place before I moved here from San Francisco 3 yrs ago. It is a jewel. We feel at home here. the food is outstanding, always very fresh and served well. I just love the crispy oyster it is my absolute favourite, every bite perfect. The entrees are all outstanding as well. we frequently will order an entree to share along with appetizers and rolls to make a meal, that way we get to have more tastes and flavors. Over all this place is just a joy to spend an evening, not a fast restaurant but carefully crafted and served food. YUM! read more

This is the best sushi in Port Coquitlam. Don't be put off by the lady that serves you. It is a husband wife team. The husband is very nice and the food is great. She just lacks personality. The prices are reasonable and you get free ice cream on your birthday. It's our go to place for sushi in Port Coquitlam. And we have tried almost every sushi place in the area. This one is the best. read more

Love this place. Run my a great Japanese couple Katsu and Kanako.

I have a pretty high standard for sushi and this place never let me down. I've tried almost everything on the menu and they are all delicious!! The owners have been operating this store for ages and their stuff is always fresh and yummy. No other place makes better negitoro roll than they do. A must-try!!! read more

Absolutely amazing . The foods taste authentic and different from many sushi places in the area. If you are tired of koreastyle giant sushi rolls type then come here , you won't be disappointed read more

I have been to this restaurant 3 times and have yet to have a bad experience. Everything is always delicious and to die for! Came here for Valentine's Day and had chopped scallop roll, a variety of nigiri, deluxe sashimi, a dozen oysters, ebi mayo, Seaweed salad, and soft shell crab appetizer. All the seafood was fresh. Service was excellent as always. My tea cup never emptied. This is our go to place for special dinners. read more

It's nice to eat authentic Japanese food made from actual Japanese people as opposed to the majority of Korean owned and operated sushi restaurants in Port Coquitlam. HUGE difference in the quality of food that is served there by Katsu and his wife, Kanako! All the other sushi restaurants in Port Coquitlam with the exception of Sushi Kamizato, shouldn't even be allowed to call themselves a Japanese restaurant!!! read more

This is my most favourite restaurant in Vancouver! This is the only sushi place that I've been to that is comparable to Japan. The sushi is always fresh. I love the toro and hotate!

everything was amazing and far exceeded my expectations! don't let the shabby exterior fool you: this place is fabulous!
