Looks like Sushiholic has now changed to Sushi High. Parking is available along Lougheed, as well as next to the building. Place still looks Korean run. Worth a mention. The chirashi don here is pretty solid. Salmon, tuna, more salmon, octopus, ikura, mackerel, snapper, prawn, and egg. The menu mentions 12 pieces, but I counted 14 pieces (ikura counts as 1), not including the 2 egg slices. I was pleasantly surprised. Just the right amount of rice too. Comes with miso soup which was also pretty tasty, with the extra bits of green onion and other goodies. Definitely a good choice if one is in the area. Recommended.

Ordered a sushi tray and received a spicy tuna roll on the house. The sushi platter is fairly small compared to regular trays but the quality is much better than other sushi joints. Taste is good and rolls don't have a lot of rice which is good. Because of quality, don't expect big portions. Presentation is good.

Japanese gig near where I currently lives...Free parking at the rear but only for 6 small vehicle. Neat sushi joint that observes covid-19 precautions. Busy when I came plus it was raining, luckily I got a parking at the back, too small that I sweat a lot hahaha...after few attempts I finally parked nicely and safe..... For my Food; I had the mixed tempura for my appez, fresh, crispy and so delish....and the volcano roll which is my favorite...it has dyna, spicy tuna, and chopped scallops...excellent taste, presentation was really instagramable....I love it... Delish and filling. Excellent sushi joint, affordable, friendly service and really decent place to eat Japanese cuisines.. Good for family and kids friendly...accept cash, debit, and credit, noise level is average.. Reminder: limited parking by the rear... I will visit again.....

Chicken Udon ($9.95): great bowl, let down by soggy chicken :S

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Based solely on a single takeout experience, Sushi High (formerly Sushiholic) provided decent food at prices that won't break the bank. As other Yelp reviews show, your mileage may vary, so I'll leave the rating at 3 stars for now! === 2. FOOD Sashimi & Sushi Bento ($14.95): good selection for the price! In the box are: spicy tuna roll, tuna & salmon sashimi, salmon, tuna, and shrimp sushi, fried dumplings, a couple of pieces of chicken kaarage, a couple of tempura, a small salad and a small cup of miso soup. Apart from the chicken being pretty hard and the salad being small without dressing, it was a good choice for lunch or dinner. California Roll ($3.50): good price for 8 pieces. Not the creamiest or tastiest in town, but not bad either. Chicken Udon ($9.95): fresh mushrooms, fried tofu, seaweed, a piece of fishcake and some soggy chicken meet up with udon in this bowl. The soup has a decent flavor, but the chicken was done a while ago. Takeout may be best served with the soup separate!

Ordered the sushi high tray off of UberEats. It comes with 48 pieces - California roll, dynamite roll, salmon roll, tuna roll, kappa roll, spicy tuna roll, chopped scallop roll and BC roll. I personally did not enjoy the California roll, but I really liked the spicy tuna and BC roll. Great value for money. Overall, decent sushi spot but there are better spots elsewhere!

Friendly and quick service for some decent sushi. We came here for a quick dinner and that's exactly what it was. We had their prawn and yam tempura, aburi combo B (salmon and toro), chopped scallop roll, salmon and avocado roll, and unagi roll. The tempura had a loooot of batter, but it wasn't that heavy considering how much batter was on it. It was crisp and a good portion for the price. The aburi was torched just right and not too saucy. The rolls were a good size, and had a good rice to fish ratio. The salmon avocado roll had plenty of salmon. The unagi roll had a pretty good amount of unagi and wasn't overly sauced. Overall, the meal was alright and wasn't too expensive. The server was super friendly and made sure everything was okay.

Gave these guys a shot today, This place is under new management unfortunately they have much lower quantity now meaning for 2 rolls they make 4 cuts they use to give a little more also this year not sure what the story is also their dynamite roll is almost 7 bucks lol what happened here this was just under 5 bucks last year i guess i will need to find another location because these guys are getting super expensive and have reduced quality and quantity. Although the roll tasted fine the jacked up prices and reduced size of rolls is a 1 star

It looks like this place has taken over the former Sushiholic. Ordered a few rolls here for takeout. Tried the BC roll, cali roll and mango avocado roll. The BC roll is massive, it looks like they tried to combine two rolls into one. They fill one half of the roll with salmon and the other half is a cali roll. The food is decent for takeout. They offer free delivery over $20 on Skip the Dishes.

For good sushi at a decent price, why not!? I mean my hubby and I always order the same rolls, cones and salad but it's because we really like it here! The temaki (cone) is always full of tuna (spicy or negi), and their specialty rolls are MASSIVE! My favourite rolls are the Fire Dragon roll (if you like spicy) and Dragon roll. Their avocado salad is a must and the wings are great - especially if you have picky children. Even their basic rolls such as the Dynamite, Philly, or Alaska have less rice and more fillings. I also like the fact they have the brown rice option for $1 more. Although this place is super close to our home we still order through Skip when it rains but their food still tastes great after delivery!

So I was in search for a new sushi delivery place and remembered this place use to be sushiholic. My goodness the food was not up to my standard! I ordered 6 rolls, a spicy karage, wakame and takoyaki. I liked the spicy karage and wakame. The spicy karage (you get choose spicy or regular) was on a bed of salad. The wakame is quite small, but it tasted good. It tasted like the one at viva sushi. Takoyaki was big, but because it was so big, the octopus is noticeably small. Rolls I ordered were : spicy tuna, salmon avocado, chopped scallop, beef terriyaki, california roll and dynamite roll. How were the rolls? ALL THE ROLLS WERE HARD!! As if it was in the fridge. The beef terriyaki was the hardest of them all. I've read reviews about how it went downhill since they changed over, but was hoping it was a one off.. Definetly will not be back. It was such a waste of 60$

I am SO disappointed to have to change my review to a 1 star review. I'll explain why. I have been a customer here since they opened a few years ago. One of my favourite dishes to order is the Spicy Salmon Sashimi. That's what I ordered tonight. I noticed a few weeks ago that they have new menus. A few new dishes along with the tried and true. With the new menu came new higher prices as well. That isn't what turned me off this place now though. What turned me off is the 180 change in the food quality. Tonight's dish of Spicy Salmon Sashimi was #1 half the usual size serving for a $0.50 higher price and #2 it no longer consisted of nice good size chunks of salmon, it is now made up of the left over end slices of salmon you get when making a rectangle shape of fish for the Salmon Nigiri sushi #3 they changed the spicy sauce. When I pointed out what I noticed the waitress denied it saying that it was the changed of plates that made it LOOK LIKE a smaller portion. Then when I asked about the salmon quality she replied with that they just cut it up smaller. I was truly offended by her answers. I've posted a picture of my salmon dish ... you can see the obvious tiny cut off pieces if fish

Excellent sushi and service. We especially enjoyed the aburi tuna and aburi sockeye salmon. They also have a tv that often plays sports programming. We enjoyed watching the Olympic swimming events during our meal.

I pass by this place like a million times and finally, I have decided to step foot into the restaurant. Parking is a hit and miss. There are only 3 parking stalls here. So depends on your luck. Came here and order a salmon sashimi don. It was not bad but I don't like how the fish was so thinly sliced. Salmon was fresh but so little salmon on so much rice for what I paid for. Luckily I didn't get it seared or else it would be nasty don. I don't like overly cooked fish. Restaurant is very small. But it is very cute. Not a lot of seating inside. I would say this place is ok.

Sushiholic is located on the corner of East Broadway and Rupert in Vancouver. There's not much to say about this establishment as it has a lot of competition what with the Lower Mainland's abundance of sushi restaurants (this is not a complaint). There are, however, a few things that gives this restaurant a few pluses. Though the restaurant has parking space, or lack thereof (3-4 stalls at the back), there are street/residential parking spots nearby. Don't be lazy, walk that extra block. If you're looking to go the more "green" route, you can hop on your nearest skytrain and get off the Rupert Skytrain Station and walk North. We are normally not advocates for take out as food ALWAYS tastes better when you're having it at the establishment, however, you may need to order some take out from this place. This restaurant is extremely tiny, and if you're claustrophobic, then you're better off getting your sushi fix elsewhere. Awesome Roll - $7.95 (6/7) This roll lives up to its name - Awesome Roll is AWESOME. But, alas, not as great as other sushi joints, which is where it lost its point. The Awesome Roll is essentially a California Roll with a piece of baked salmon on top, topped off with some crazy, awesome shoestring yam fries. And some mayo. All hidden and blended with a side of crack. Seriously, it's THAT awesome. Volcano Roll - $14.95 (4/7) We're not sure if this is the same at other sushi places but this deep fried roll contains asparagus, spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber, and cream cheese. Lots of cream cheese. All we tasted was cream cheese, cream cheese, and more cream cheese. The only good thing about this dish was the spicy tuna sashimi hidden underneath. Guess that explains the price of this dish. Deep Fried California Roll - $4.95 (5/7) This was just eh. It's literally a California Roll, deep fried. Topped with some sort of sauce. Teriyaki? It was okay. For some reason, it was a bit soggy and limp. Can you even describe food as limp? But when you put it in your mouth, it's soft, chewy goodness. It's a confusing roll. We would probably just stick with the regular California Roll next time. Ratings: Food: 4/7 Value: 6.5/7 Service: 4/7 (can you say understaffed?) read more

Wednesday lunch time was packed with customers. Setting was small yet cozy with dramatic lighting. Pleasantly surprised that their prices are a bit lower than the other places I have been (eg. $1 for vegetable nigiri, $1.5 for saba) To justify the price, fish portion was a bit smaller. Their Fuji salad dressing was really good. It took a while before our food was on the table but I was instantly delighted once I saw the amaebi sushi--with fresh raw shrimp head, not deep fried! (I'm not too crazy about deep fried shrimp heads that a lot of sushi places offer along side with their amaebi nigiri) One of the best quality sushi restaurants run by Koreans. read more

Heard about the "Awesome Roll" so we decided to try it out. We were seated right away and the food was great. One of the waitresses was rude and dropped the food on or table and left, while the other one was very nice. We tipped 5% and she took the receipt and walked away and said "Look at this bad tip". We left right away. The food however was great. The awesome roll really lives up to its name! read more

SushiHolic. With two locations (their other location is at Denman) and a pretty high rating, they seem to be quite popular. We attempted to get into Shima-Ya but we weren't willing to want over an hour for a spot (on a Thursday evening, really people?!?) so we decided to drive elsewhere and settled for SushiHolic. From what I've heard, it's run by Koreans, so bear that in mind. The outside is pretty non-descript but once you walk in, it's a little more cozy, with the sushi chefs greeting you with hello's. The layout is tight, compact and splits into what feels like two separate areas. We were seated into a corner booth, which felt cramped even though there were only three of us. - Deluxe assorted sashimi ($23.95) - 21 pieces of sashimi for $24.00. Yeah, that's a pretty sweet deal. Salmon, sockeye salmon, tuna, hokkigai (surf clam), tako (octopus), hamachi (yellowtail) and another type I can't remember. For the price, it really can't be beat. It won't blow you away but it'll help satisfy those sashimi cravings one gets. - 3x Toro ($1.80/piece), uni ($3.00/piece) and unagi ($2.30/piece) - I'm not sure why but they only charged us $1.30 per toro pieces. Woot, deaaaaal. The toro had a smooth, buttery taste to it. The unagi and uni were decent but nothing special about them. I've had better elsewhere. - Negihama roll ($3.25) and red roll ($8.95) - the negihama roll was good. For the red roll, you get 8 pieces. Chopped scallop with mayo, cucumber, spicy tuna and crispy bits on top. As my taste buds grow, I'm becoming less and less of a fan of rolls with sauce on top. I much prefer to eat nigiri or sashimi, that way at least you can taste the fresh, quality characteristics of the fish. Nothing to mask away the star ingredient. - Washington roll ($4.25) and chopped scallop roll ($3.75) - 8 pieces for both the Washington (avocado and salmon) and chopped scallop roll. These are pretty standard fair but the chopped scallop rolls tasted fresh. Not bad for a backup plan. I wouldn't really go out of my way for SushiHolic, it's not a must eat in my books. That being said, prices are pretty reasonable so if you're looking for a more laid back place for sushi, give them a try. read more

When we got there, it was really crowded. However, because we were offered seats at the bar we got miso soup on the house! Good first impression. Their sushi was delicious. The flavour was rich and the sizes were just right. I had a las vegas roll and hubs had udon. We also had some edamame to share towards the end. I wish the restaurant was bigger though, so more people could be seated! Nevertheless, great place! I will definitely be back!! read more

I love me some SUSHIholic. I love it so much that I tell everyone about it. Okay, when you see it and think, "Chelsea, it looks like a hole in the wall with cheesy name." I would tell you I thought the same thing. I went against my superficial judgements and took a dive. My dining partner and I were welcomed with the typical Japanese greeting and were seated. Service: Top Notch Food: Awesome (except the Awesome roll, it is a glorified California role). My ultimate favorite is the Volcano Roll, there is a spicy surprise on the inside of the volcano! Seating: Great. Except I have qualms with this irregularly placed rectangular table. Go here. Oh and say hello to the turtles at the bonsai store before they move! read more

I go there at least once a month. If I can afford it, I'd go every other day! It's a small and tight place with 2 units so if you're stuck in the smaller unit, you'd have to wait for the servers to come in once a while to get any attention. It's good though because you get some quiet, personal time with your friends or family. Service was always good and quick. The girls were always nice and cute. My FAVOURITE: the torched toro nigiri with green onions on top. I think it was less than $2 a piece. Great deal. It's like bold flavours dancing inside my mouth at every bite. Fresh raw fish, torched crisp, warm rice, flavourful oily fish juice..........YUM I can't stop craving sushiholic read more

Very small place, however deceiving, there's a hidden room to the side, must've been an expansion, however still a very small place even including that. Nothing notable regarding the decor. 4 of us went on a Friday night around 745pm, expected wait to be 40 mins, however received a table in 15 mins in the above-mentioned hidden room. Dragon Roll: Relatively good roll, however I ordered it by mistake, meant to order the Rainbow Roll. Nothing spectacular, however the small pieces of Unagi on top was very tasty. Sockeye Salmon Sashimi: Absolutely delicious! No "fishy" taste, very distinct salmon flavor. Excellent firm pieces. One of the best I've had. Ika Nigiri: Nothing special here, was firm, not too chewy, light "buttery", oily taste upon first bite, pretty good. Salmon Belly Nigiri: Wish I had the seared version like my friends did, was still a really fatty piece of salmon nigiri, however I'm sure it would've been better seared. I strongly recommend getting the seared version unless you don't like it too oily/fatty. Toro Nigiri: Oddly, this wasn't that spectacular, was as expected, nothing to write home about, was good...but not amazing. Ikura Nigiri: After my latest visit to Waka Sushi in Langley, this was a sight for sore eyes, excellent individual pieces of Salmon Roe, all intact, no juice / slime on the rice or noticeable anywhere. Very flavorful, albeit a bit too salty for my liking, however not so much that it'd prevent me from ordering this again from here. Unagi Nigiri: Not the best I've had(so far it's at Sushi by Yuji), however still very good. Piece wasn't too big, no struggling to eat it all in one bite, almost a perfect sizing actually. Very tasty, however no distinct fatty part to it which is what I prefer. Not overloaded with sauce, just enough to enhance the flavor of the unagi, a recommended dish for everyone that visits here. Uni Nigiri: Saved this for last, was the best thing I had during my visit, really creamy, melted in my mouth, sweet, and succulent. Further words can't do this piece justice, a must try if you enjoy Uni. read more

Sushi is something my wife and I enjoy in this beautiful city, and by chance after all these years driving by daily we came for dinner...You Have to visit...Amazing service, and the food and presentation is Stunning!!!. It is worth the visit and experience, they are taking over the store next door also and expanding...job well done Sushiolic!!! There was one complaint and this person went so far to report for apparent food poisoning to Fraser Health and BBB...arrogance is bliss, more than likely they did not speak to the ownership and allow them the opportunity to look at if it was an issue with them, and/or does not know what the symptoms of food poisoning really are...but her actions can hurt the hard work that people put into their business. 99% of the reviews are amazing which is what counts and i like to see successes like this in such a tough market. read more

I sometimes go here on the way to get groceries or on the way home from work. It's got a nice atmosphere and I usually get there when nobody is around. That is good, because one time I went when it was full and that was way less enjoyable of atmosphere. The sushi is always pretty decent also. Like not so bad. I haven't had anything I haven't enjoyed although somebody said the spicy tuna is not as good as it used to be, and I could see it being lots better, sure. But it's good. I'll go again. It's on the way. EDIT: I had dropped the star because of this update, but I reinstated it. What happened was I just went there and it was early enough to try a bento box. Mistake, that. Gyoza rather poor. Even the sushi that came with was less good. Pretty passable, all told. As in, a thing you can pass up. I don't recommend the bento box. Anyway, it was my feeling that this place is alright but sort of that's all. Three and a half stars? But I can't give halfs. read more

Came here with family on a Saturday night after recommendations from a friend. It was packed. Wait for seating didn't took too long because we had recommendations. We were seated in a little room off to the side that we couldn't even tell existed from the main dining room. We were worried that the staff wouldn't attend to us in that little room but fortunately they met the demands of even my picky mother. We got the wakame salad, edamame, Awesome Roll, Dragon Roll, Holic sashimi platter and Party Tray B. My dad and grandmother inhaled the Dragon Roll the moment it touched the table so I didn't get to taste that. Wakame salad and edamame were nothing special. Party Tray B was nothing special either. Awesome Roll and Dragon Roll were both fully cooked, which is a boon when dining with people who don't eat raw stuff. Awesome Roll is covered in fried shredded yam, but other than that its basically your generic California roll. Holic sashimi platter was delicious. White tuna was part of the platter, which was selling for $2.50 a piece (Asian cheapness woohoo!). Sashimi was quite fresh, and it was $39.95 for 30 pieces of sashimi~! Presentation was standard, but flavor was waay above par. Only complaint I have about this place is that the portion sizes are kinda small for the price. The rolls are about 1/3 the size of the ones you'd get at Samurai sushi, or 1/2 the size of the ones from Oyama, but pricier than either. tl;dr: lovely sashimi, most rolls are smaller for the price but the Awesome Roll and (presumably) the Dragon Roll are delish. Outside might look a little cheap but inside is beautiful, albeit a bit warm. read more

Ordered takeout for coworkers and the foods were placed in the box. I thought the staff would help me to put them to my car, but he called my name and I showed him my car on the street, then he just stood out there and did not want to help me to put in the car. I was about to leave and saw the staff helped another customer with only 2 small containers to the customer's car. I would give the restaurant only 0.1. I ordered unagi bento and the portion was small and more rice. Therefore I would not recommend this restaurant because of poor service and less quantity. read more

Grasshopper Salad anybody? Looking for some extra crunch in your salad? Maybe some extra protein? Look no further, cause this is your spot! So yes, you heard me, there was a nice large GRASSHOPPER in my Chicken Salad. (Check out my pic on my profile) They did gave me a full refund on my order (duh...rightfully so!). However, they explained it wasn't their fault, rather it was the salad supplier's fault. Apparently their salad is not freshly cut, so they receive it in bulk by a supplier-- Same as if you were to buy a pre-packaged/pre-mixed/pre-washed salad, say in a grocery store like Safeway. Therefore, they don't wash the salad one more time since it should be pre-washed already from the supplier. Ok, fair enough. Regardless of this, I think it is still the responsibility of the chefs to still do a final inspection. IF YOU SEE A FRIGGIN' HUGE ARTHROPOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOOD, DON'T SEND THE ORDER OUT TO THE CUSTOMER. But I guess the chefs are blind or common sense is really hard to come by these days! As for the sushi itself.... Meh. Nothing really special. Typical non-Japanese operated tasting stuff. They try to imitate Sushi Garden and others out there.. but I've had better. Bottom line: EVEN IF YOU POINTED A GUN AT ME, NEVER WOULD I EVER RETURN. read more

I have since been back to Sushiholics multiple times and I am willing to forgive the Agedashi tofu disaster. I have since fallen head over heels in love with there vegetable roll! I have also tried some of their other vegetarian rolls and all were great. My and my coworker needed an escape from the office the other day so off for sushi we went, it was prime lunch hour and we got the last available seat. They brought us tea right away and off we went chatting up a storm that we didn't realize it was about 4 or 5 minutes before they offered to serve us. We really didn't mind, we had our tea so it's not like they completely ignored us and it was a packed house in there so we weren't expecting to be treated like VIP's. Once we ordered our food came relatively fast and as usual it tastes really fresh and there avocado is always nice and green and absent of brown specs unlike other sushi places. Also, they have GLITTER CUPS! If they weren't so sweet those cups woulda been going home in my purse, any thing or place that has glitter always gets mad props from me! read more

Awesome roll is awesome, everything is cool when in the VIP room Awesome roll is awesome! When you're getting your food! ** For those who know its from the Lego Movie, yay! Everyone else - sorry :) Anyway, I did NOT get the VIP room, and we waited over 2 hours for our food to trickle out of the kitchen - so no, everything was NOT awesome. We requested for the private room when the original reso's were made, and they confirmed it - but gave the room away to another family who wanted it. Instead, they seated 7 people all around these cramped little tables right by the door. My poor mom was trying to eat while people kept pushing their way into the restaurant, and several different butts were probably wavering right by her face as she's trying to eat. It was ridiculous, there's no way we should have been seated there since everything was so cramped. And the food took forever to come out of the kitchen. We were tempted to order the spicy salmon sashimi, but noticed that from the moment we walked in, there was a plate of spicy salmon sashimi which had sat on the counter for 20 minutes (waiting to be delivered to a table). That really put us off, so we decided not to order it. It took forever for the waitress to come take our order, and ages for the food to slowly come out. The service was pretty terrible (but waitresses were still nice), maybe they needed to put another server out there! We were also automatically charged 15% for gratuity... for ... what type of service, exactly? I get it that in some restaurants, parties over X amount are auto-charged this amount, but nowhere on their menu or in their resto was there a sign posted up saying so. If it was posted up, we may have (begrudgingly) paid it. Anyway, we told them we weren't paying the tip, and they kindly did take it off. OK, yes, the sushi is good, though a bit overpriced on some of their special rolls. But it was a pretty crappy evening. Maybe as a takeout, its alright? But beware, their service seems to be really hit or miss! read more

Delicious! I recently started working at the Broadway Tech Centre. Luckily there's a gourmet food truck parked there at lunchtime, because if you're not a McDonalds fan, foodie pickings in that area are slim indeed. I've tried three sushi restaurants within walking distance: two on Renfrew and SUSHIholic on Rupert. The two sushi places on Renfrew had interiors that were ugly, dirty and kind of smelly. Their food was uninspired and indifferently prepared: with rolls tasting like the ingredients had been sitting out all day. No wonder they were mostly devoid of customers. In contrast, SUSHIholic was nice and clean, and it was obvious some effort had been made toward creating a nice interior. I grabbed an assortment of rolls for takeaway and I was really impressed by the flavour, presentation, freshness and quality of ingredients. I am now a big fan of SUSHIholic and will be eating there at least once a week. ***UPDATE*** Hello, my name is Krispian, and I'm a sushiholic. After eating there at least once a week for the past five months, and trying my way around most of their menu, I can confidently say that SUSHIholic is my favourite sushi restaurant by far. The food is consistently great, and the people who work there are super nice. The only caveat is that they have become a victim of their own success, and are INSANELY busy during lunchtime on weekdays. read more

You know, I've probably driven by this establishment hundreds of times but never considered stopping by for food. It wasn't until recently that my hunger urged me to random a nearby Japanese restaurant (through my phone) and SUSHIholic was 'winner'. At first glance, I wouldn't think much of this place since the exterior looks like an old grocery store or strip mall; but, as the old saying goes, never judge a book by its covers. The interior is clean and has, evidently, been recently renovated. The contrasting red and black paint complimented by stylistic and modern decorations fills this restaurant with warmth and welcome. I've been to SUSHIholic numerous times before and I held back on writing a review since sushi is all about consistency. Following last night's meal, I've concluded that it does deserve the recognition it's earned. The staff is always friendly and regardless of what I order, it always arrives in a timely manner paired with a very appealing presentation. If you've eaten here before (or having read this review, will soon decide to go), you'd agree with me when I assert that I have never been disappointed with my meal. The food is always consistent and the flavours are such that I never thought were possible with sushi. If you're all about trying new things, I highly recommend the Japanese fusion of SUSHIholic. In addition, if you find yourself staring at the menu for over 10 minutes, allow me to suggest the 'Awesome Roll' and the 'Las Vegas Roll'. You will not be disappointed. Also for all the vegetarians out there (bless them), there's a vegetarian roll too! The only negative thing I can say about this restaurant is its location. There's very limited parking behind the restaurant, the front becomes a tow-away zone after 3pm on weekdays but you should be okay along Renfrew if you don't mind walking. Bon appetit! read more

This must be sushi heaven! Never mind that it's kind of in the middle of no where, as soon as you walk in I swear you'll hear angels sing! The two specials rolls that I tried today were amazing. The first was the Awesome Roll, which basically is a california roll topped with salmon and fried yam strings, like tons of fried yam strings! It was delicious. The Yam strings were fried perfectly, they practically melted in my mouth. My eyes literally bulged when I first saw the roll and they bulged again when I tasted this heavenly creation. The second roll we ordered was the volcano roll. When we first ordered it, we had no idea how much it cost, we kind of just saw it on the big billboard outside the restaurant. After we had ordered it, we kind of flinched, because it was $15! But let me tell you, it's well worth the price. It's probably the best sushi roll I've ever consumed to date and it came with tons of spicy sashimi. I honestly don't remember what was in it but it was stuffed with ingredients, including cream cheese then it was lightly tempura-d and fried to perfection. They also provide ample spicy sauce around the plate for dipping. I'm drooling just thinking about it. I want another one right now! Just to be a little bit more healthy I also ordered the house salad with sashimi which was fresh, tangy and tasty. I really have to find out what they use to make their salad dressing, It's some kind of vinaigrette. It's honestly my favorite dressing of all dressings St3Fin read more

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.

Service was really amazing with servers explaining each dish and drinks were always topped off…read more Food was good, but maybe this isn't quite my style of omakase compared to the other ones I've tried. This is a more theatrical style so expect louder music and a more theatrical experience (eg one of the servers played the flute for the guests celebrating birthdays). I prefer a more intimidate and interactive style of omakase where you can talk with the chefs. This lunch also felt a little fast in terms of progression of the meal. Some of the dishes were very tasty while others didn't wow us. With drinks, we were quite full despite some reviews saying portion is on the smaller size. Our total was around $500 with drinks for 2 people. A really good experience for omakase, especially if you are looking for a unique experience though not my favourite one I've tried.

I had the smaller portion of spaghetti with clams he had the 100 layer lasagna. (that takes them 3 days to make) The spaghetti was clearly handmade, and it was way richer than I expected it to be, so I was glad I got the smaller portion. Very delicious! I got a small bite of the lasagna and thought it was very meaty and tasty. He polished it off, but did say that the charred topping took over tastewise a bit too much. Despite being stuffed, we found ourselves wanting to linger, so we ordered the caramel pot de creme, and Irish Whiskey for him, and a dessert tea drink for me with blueberry & breakfast tea, amaretto, grand marnier and cinnamon. All super delicious and again very rich! To top off our fine experience at this awesome restaurant, because it was Mother's Day and I'm a Mom, they gave me a wrapped box to take with us. Turned out to be a very pretty bluebell large mug. Super nice, thank you Nightingale!

Seriously! Special shoutout to the fried chicken -- SO juicy and a little sweet with the maple syrup, yum Also the wagyu bavette steak -- extremely tender, melt in your mouth goodness We also got the hamachi crudo, beet salad, mushroom pizza, and brussell sprouts.Will definitely be coming back.

I really have to highly recommend all the Eggs Benedict breakfasts on the menu! If you don't like…read morethem, come find me! Today I ordered the Blackstone Benny, which comes with a runny egg, honey-glazed bacon, roasted tomatoes, and an English muffin. With every bite, you'll taste two distinct sweetnesses: the smoky, honeyed sweetness of the bacon and the refreshing sweet-and-sour flavor of the roasted tomatoes. The rich, creamy texture of the runny egg yolk perfectly blends these two flavors, finishing with the slightly salty, toasty aroma of the muffin. Jam Cafe has lots of delicious dishes, like the Charlie Bowl and the Fried Chicken Waffle, but Eggs Benedict is the only one I can eat from start to finish without getting tired of it--and just a few hours after finishing, I start missing it again.

We ordered Paneer Tikka, Channa Bhatura and Amritsari Kulcha along with Chicken Noodles for the kids. Everything was really good. We particularly like Channa Bhatura because Seattle hasn't been able to get this dish right. Staff was exceptionally nice and accommodating as well. Food came out fast. The only time we had to wait was to get the check. Very highly recommended if you like Punjabi food and are visiting Vancouver.

This place is quite small and can probably seat maybe 3 groups with a couple of smaller tables still open. I came with a party of 5 and we sat in one of the corners. I'm not sure why they thought it was a good idea to seat us that way since we were really crammed in there. The food is pretty decent, but for the price point, I'm a little iffy. They have pretty standard salmon sashimi, which I had no complaints about, but the rolls are quite small for the price it asks for despite some notable special rolls. We also ordered a salmon don and I found that to be quite greasy? It didn't really taste like much, likely due to the grease :( If you don't know what to order, get the Las Vegas Roll! It's $13.95 for 8pc and I really liked the cream cheese with the deep fried texture and the imitation crab. There's supposed to be salmon and asparagus in there, but the cream cheese and the imitation crab meat definitely overpowers it. It's comparable to their deep-fried California roll, which is $5.95, so I would say the price got hiked quite a bit. Nonetheless, I did enjoy that roll and if I'm looking for something special I'd order that roll again! read more

Went for the first time on a recommendation, and decided to order for pick up. When I first drove up I was a little put off by the look of the building. It doesn't look like much, and in a wierd area with nothing around. When I walked in the place was full! It's small but clean and nicely decorated. The food was really good....very fresh and some unique rolls. I would highly recommend it as one of the better sushi places I have been to. Delicious! read more
