The food was great, none of this water down stuff you find at other JR to service english palettes. The service is great and they have friendly staff. They were quick to bring out the food, WOW! The ambiance is what you would expect from a busy establishment. The price is beyond great! It was unexpected as we were expecting some out landish pricing, but nope. It was in the low $$... We are going to be regulars. read more

Located by stadium station - very transit friendly - metered pay parking scattered around as well. I believe this place is more Korean Japanese opposed to authentic Japanese food - place is nicely lit and pretty clean the times I have been by. Service was very friendly and quick - no suggestive selling - so you are on your own to figure out what you are craving. Fish was okay - quantity and price seemed pretty fair - However, fresh wasn't as fresh as you'd like - color seemed to be changing slightly - however still tasted okay. Chicken Karagge was a miss for me - i hate it when places drench there Karagge in a sauce without prior warning - I normally anticipate a crispy chicken to arrive - however, was disappointed with near soggy chicken bites. Tempura was okay - average at best - Sushi scene is pretty competitive these days - I wouldn't go out of my way for this one - but I know of people who would - so you be your own judge :) read more

Located near TnT, this little gem was a great experience. Clearly very popular with the locals in the area, as the whole in the wall can be easily bypassed. Cons: This place needs to update their website/menu. The menu is from 2017, including 2017 prices. Pros: Cheap, fast, and pretty good. I ordered the Veggie Bento (veggie tempura (3p), salad, miso, yam roll, small tofu teriyaki don. This was HUGE! I had leftovers which we're find the next day. The yam roll was really delicious and large. The rice was fresh and didn't have that stale taste. The salad was my favourite as I can't get enough of their dressing. Miso was hot and there was plenty of tofu. It was a great place to try and I'm sure to go back. read more

Pretty tasty (Korean?) sushi place near Tinseltown. I don't think this place is Japanese. Parking is available in the metered spots in the vicinity. Staff are friendly and quick. Sat down and they took our order in minutes. Food here is fresh and tasty. Buddy and I were happy. Prawn tempura - nice and light batter. 6 in the order. Comes with sauce. Sushi and tuna tempura - decent but not huge sized pieces. Fresh. Rainbow roll - this is basically a glorified Alaska roll with an extra slice of avocado on top, as well as an extra slice of salmon or tuna depending on the position on the roll (hence the "rainbow" name). Covered in that tangy Korean salad sauce, which is why I think the place is Korean. Tasty. It's a little pricy for the amount of food, but the quality was there. I'd come back, though there are other Japanese places in the vicinity. Recommended. read more

We ate here twice this week during our family vacation. The first night, my younger daughter and I shared a Chicken Teri Ten Don, rice, and tempura plate. We got the chicken minus the green onions. All the items were super tasty. This cost of the one plate we shared with tip and all was probably no more than about $14 US. Once you get past the tough druggy crowd outside, the restaurant inside is very clean and all the employees are very nice. It's great to see the nice older man at the front counter taking orders that proudly wears his Vancouver Canucks hockey hat! On the second visit, which was the night before we left, my younger daughter ordered for the entire family, all six of us. My younger daughter ordered the cooked salmon and rice plate, which came with a couple of mixed tempura items. I ordered the eight California rolls. Together, we ate another order of shrimp tempura. For my older daughter, her husband, and my two granddaughters, they had shared two orders of dance with salmon sushi, which included salmon, avocado, and cucumber. We also got them one order of edamame. Everything again went smooth with ordering and tasted so great back at the AirBnB. This is a definite must in the area! read more

Food was mediocre at best. I think I had some bad salmon there as I didn't feel too well afterwards. Service was fine, but nothing outstanding. It was quite busy when I went, a that's why I tried it. read more

I love sushi den I eat there on weekly basis in my opinion it's one of the best sushi place and the price it's very good I totally recommend it read more

Sushi Den is located near the Stadium Skytrain station so very convenient to anyone heading to Costco or to a game. We ordered take out as temporarily staying in an Airbnb around the corner for a few weeks. The presentation and taste were good for the two combos we ordered and the price was very reasonable. Just a reminder to bring your own bag if ordering take out to avoid the extra charge the city of Vancouver implemented. It was a positive food experience and happy to recommend Sushi Den. read more

Sushi Den - Donkatsu - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I'm not going to hide in the DEN when I can eat all this SUSHI! We ordered take out and got fresh tasting sushi and perfectly deep fried assorted tempura at an affordable price. There were 4 pieces of tuna and 5 pieces of salmon sashimi and all were thiccc and glistening with yumminess. They both just melted in my mouth and I kept on wanting more. The box of tempura was never ending and kept its crispness throughout our whole meal. The dynamite roll was HUGE with the right amount of rice to filling. The only negative I could say was that there wasn't enough sauce for the tempura and soy sauce for the sashimi and sushi. Customer service was on point too! In the box: Salmon and tuna sashimi $11.50 Dynamite Roll $5.00 Assorted tempura $10.50 read more

I visited Sushi Den at about 1:15pm on a Tuesday. It was just me and one other patron sitting inside. You have to fill out your name and phone number on a form and show proof of vaccination in order to eat inside. The menu is very thorough and has a ton of options. Most of the rolls are extremely cheap!! $4 for a spicy salmon roll. It was awesome. I got my order in right away and got my food in less than five minutes. Everything was great and the serving was on such a beautiful plate. The food was fresh and tasted great. read more

My favourite value sushi joint in the neighbourhood; four stars at two dollar signs. Chirashi don and assorted tenpura make a reliable take-out dinner for two. Sashimi is well-portioned, the right temperature, and tastes like it ought to. No online ordering, but they take phone orders efficiently and food is often ready a few minutes before the promise time, even when they're busy. read more

Service was good. Quantity was good. Quality was very very average. For super cheap quick sushi I would maybe come back. But otherwise, not worth a visit. read more

The price of sushi here is amazing. Quality of fish is good, too. I've eaten here multiple times, and everything has been fresh. Tempura is crispy; batter is not too thick. The restaurant is clean and staff is friendly. There is better sushi in Vancouver, but when it comes to the price/quality combo, this place is hard to beat! read more

100% the best sushi and prices. Recommendations by the staff were great. But the prices for the quality is superb.

Dinner started out well but went downhill. Had the sashimi platter, some sushi, tempura platter and some horrible service. I had a nice server sit me down and then got switched to this other server who had dyed hair who just looked annoyed. Had some issues with missing item on sushi platter. No big deal but she tried to wave it off like I was wrong. The uni was really gross. The asparagus tempura was all stringy and I couldn't bite through it. Felt like I was chewing on a twig. To make matters worse I'd been out of water for a bit. Down to the last drop. The shrimp tempura was delicious though. Credit where credit is due. And the sashimi pieces were really big. Almost too big but no big deal. I should have trusted the mediocre reviews but the place was decently busy so I took a chance. If I had to go back, I'd choose the nice server and ask to be sat in her section, order the sashimi platter, order just the shrimp tempura and avoid the uni. Thought it would be decent for being $5 a piece. I shoulda just taken an Uber to somewhere better. $40-50 after everything for mediocre food feels sad. read more

Really don't recommend this place. Owner or Manager (with Canucks baseball cap) is so rude, ignorant and seems RACIST towards Japanese & Caucasians. Staff that served us were also not attentive and provided poor customer service. Been there twice with friends. Same situation both times. Staff seem fearful of their Manager. One staff person told us they want to quit & looking for another job. This was our experience at this location. read more

Good value sushi place, ingredients were mostly fresh (except for the chopped scallop). Tempura has a nice coating and crunch, but had a burnt oil taste. Food came really fast, but had to flag down our server for everything. The service can use some major improvement IMO. The servers are hit and miss. Sometimes I get a really friendly and helpful waitress, but other times I get really bad service. For example one time a group of waitress was chatting with each other and ignoring us, and when they were cleaning up the dishes, they dropped a soy sauce plate full of soy sauce on the table and it splattered on all of us. Another time the waitress doesn't greet you or even speak to you. They just come up and stand silently beside our table with a pen in hand to take our orders. Then leave again without saying a single word. I had a whole meal once with a waiter not saying a single word. Service quality aside, I think they are overall good value for what you get. read more

Sushi Den - Salmon sashimi and tuna Nigiri - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Sushi Den's located pretty close to Stadium-Chinatown Skytrain station. I came by here outside of peak hours at around 2 and was seated pretty quickly. The service was warm and welcoming. The one thing that I'll always remember was that all the staff were wearing Canucks shirts. I ordered the House roll and New York roll. The wait was surprisingly long for the food, especially since there were so few people inside. When the food came, the taste was pretty average. I think it was because I mostly tasted rice, which diluted the flavor. The location makes it a great place to go for sushi when it's convenient, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

Words can hardly capture the sheer delight that flooded my senses as I savored the sushi at this remarkable establishment. The flavors were a revelation, each piece a testament to the chef's expertise and dedication to their craft. The fish melted in my mouth. Get the Aburi Lobster. Get the Copper River Salmon. Get it all. Ask the servers for their advice on the latest, because they know what's up. If you're a sushi enthusiast, prepare to be transported to a realm of gastronomic bliss. This experience redefines sushi dining in the most exquisite way possible. read more

Sushi Den was a solid choice that's extremely close to Rogers Arena. They had plenty of choices for sushi and I am almost certainly positive they are Japanese-ran. We went here so many times during our full week event at Rogers Arena because of how convenient and inexpensive it is. The service was also pretty quick and attentive. They have plenty of vegetarian options for those that want the experience of sushi. My hubs had the veggie options and he really enjoyed it. The sweet potato tempuras were delicious. The nigiris, rice bowls & udon were solid choices. They also have specials on the end of the menu. The photos say it all! read more

A small place, but we all enjoyed our meals so much that we went back again a few days later! The service was good and the tables were clean and cleared quickly. The bento boxes were filling and looked delicious. The rolls and sushi nigiri were fresh and delicious too. read more

They have bento boxes and the usual. But I have to say their portion is big and the prices are not bad. However, in terms of flavor, its not that great. I ordered the cali special and the rice was warm and too soft to the point it didn't taste that great. Or should I say very different. Yes it has no flavor to it. My sister ordered the chicken combo and for $10, it was huge. I mean its a really good deal. The chicken was raw but we sent it back and they did cook us a new one. Decor was ok. The place is busy. When we sat inside, we were not given a menu so we got a take out menu and ordered from there. I am guessing its the location that makes this place really busy. read more

Came for a bite after a sneak peek screening last night at Tinseltown. I've been here several times before but this visit left an unsavoury taste in our mouths. We walked in at about 9pm. The place was pretty quiet with only a handful of tables occupied. Several staff milling around and although we were seated right away, there was little warmth to their greeting. We were brought two waters and our order was taken promptly. We ordered a veggie combo(miso soup, yam roll, avocado roll and kappa roll) - $10 and agedashi tofu ~$4. Pretty good value as far as that goes. Food came out quickly, but in terms of presentation and taste, it was below average. We noticed the sushi was room temperature - not a great sign. In the past, I've ordered veggie tempura here and quite enjoyed it. What really irked me last night was the lack of hospitality and poor quality of the food. If one of these things is lacking, I'd be willing to give them another chance, but both on the same visit coupled with mediocre experiences previously means I won't be back. read more

Do not support this place. Owner is rude and basically laughed in my face when I asked him to separate the tempura from the Teri ten don because my kid is allergic to shrimp. He had the audacity to tell me he didn't want to pay for another container even despite me telling him that I'd pay for it. read more

I have come here on several occasions to hang out with my friends and Sushi Den hasn't once let me down! The food is quite enjoyable and tasty--I usually order a bento box because I want to try everything, and their bento boxes were also agreeable to my various friends alike (Japanese, Vegan, and Japanese food newbie). I've had many good conversations and experiences when coming to this restaurant, as the noise level is just right. The picture is the sashimi bento ($15). The salmon was cool and tasty, the tuna melted in my mouth, the tempura was crisp and flaky, and the fried tofu was deliciously fried. The salad is likely a seaweed salad, which I prefer over regular salads It's in a convenient location next to Chinatown-Stadium Station, and the neighbourhood is quite scenic. The restaurant is well lit by natural light, and the service is friendly and regular enough, although you might have to flag them down for more tea. I would only give them four stars because I haven't experienced anything extraordinary at their restaurant, so perhaps my review will change. I'll likely come here again because the price, location, and food are all agreeable. read more

Walked by a few times on the way to Costco from our apartment. Was inviting and honestly quite busy. We stopped in last night to check out the menu and see what's the buzz about. Hands down, in gastown this is the freshest sushi yet. Don't get my wrong, I have my bias to Sushi 01 on Pender, but honestly... for the money these guys at Sushi Den have it figured out. The a la carte rolls are excellent. I had the Sunny Roll, and my girlfriend had the Real Crab roll. Sunny Roll was fresh and inviting. A cross between Salmon Nigiri and a Dynamite roll. Not to saucy or large, or over riced. I respect that. This isn't America and I don't need to see a kilo of rice to see value in the price I am paying. We had 2 rolls, 1 beer and a large order of Salmon sashimi. Tax in $34, Winning! I am going back today to test out their take out methods...... Don don don......... LOL. I'll snap some pics before we devour from the wonderfully aesthetic takeout containers Thank-you! read more

Yes, another sushi joint has sprung up in Vancouver, BUT this one brings FIRE to your table! When I saw DIY grilled marinated squid on the special menu, I knew it had to be a must. It made for an awesome photo when it showed up: http://s3-media3.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/HM0EI3OFT64XDEcj3keaLw/l.jpg Drizzled with japanese mayo (though next time I'll ask for it on the side), you through the squid for a short bit on the alcohol fuelled grill. Don't leave it too long or it'll get rubbery. Delicious. More places should do this. We also ordered the alaska roll and smoked salmon roll. They were average. But we had to order 4pcs of Uni. For $3/pc, they give you plenty and its surrounded by some fresh avocado! So rich but good. Service wasn't attentive enough but when you got FIRE and Uni, life is good. read more

I used to love getting take out at Sushi Den but recently their quality as declined. I normally order the dynamite combo (dynamite roll + nigiri + miso soup) to-go and my orders had been consistent for about half a year but recently, the sushi just didn't taste quite right. I usually don't mind eating Korean sushi, as it is cheaper and larger portioned, but my lunch just did not taste fresh that time. I haven't been back for a few weeks since I've been eating at momo sushi instead but everytime I pass by, Sushi Den is quite full. Perhaps I just had bad luck that time? read more

1.5 / 5 because I've only thrown up once since my meal, and my companion didn't have any sushi so there's a good chance it was just the raw fish that was off. -Food- All the sushi came at room-temperature, as did the spicy sashimi. Retrospect is a wonderful thing, I really should have just ran with my instincts and sent it back. The spicy sashimi tasted okay, the sauce was pretty over-powering. We also had one of the rolls with mixed raw fish - that tasted a little weird.. Lesson learnt. This is one of the places where if you have to order something, made sure it has to be freshly fried or deep fried. Don't eat anything that contains anything raw. -Service- If you don't finally get their attention and ask for what you want, like water or tea, or anything really, you won't get it. Checking in once your food is served isn't something that's standard here. Also, friendliness and smiling don't seem to be requisites when interacting with customers. If you're after food and service that's of average or lower quality, this is the place to go. The service is subpar even by Vancouver cafe-style standards, and probably a 0/10 if compared to any other little Japanese spot of similar size and offerings. I wanted to write off the experience as "you get what you pay for", but there are many similar sized Japanese/sushi places about the lower mainland that are priced similarly, and serve up much better food and have stellar service compared to this. Overall: No, there are too many little Japanese places in Vancouver to have to return to this one, unless I want to chance getting spewy again. read more

Good to have a few choices here before a canucks hockey game, but still prefer Hakone Sushi next block over. It's better food, service & prices too, but smaller. SD does have more action, as it's bigger, & a few more eye candy to serve you. chicken bento box for $10.25 is what to expect in DT, included salad, 6pc cali roll & 4pc tempura. Pumpkin good. Dragon roll: Ok not great, didn't have that oomph factor, as both rolls seem to be missing that kick in either the "meat" or mayo. Service good considering the crush of ppl trying to grab a bite before the game, quite the frentic pace. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it's better than the food court stuff. It just looks a lot more sexier than the food, that's the extra star for the decor. read more
