The staff was super accommodating for our large group (with 5 kids!), when we just walked in with no warning....they were very friendly and helpful. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the sushi. Very yummy! Lots of choices in the menu selection to satisfy our one non-sushi eater and two vegetarians. The sushi was delicious and the kids loved their udon and veggie rolls. Enthusiastic thumbs up! read more

I've received uncooked chicken in a lunch bento box from Sushi Maro TWICE now. I gave them another chance after the first time, but I certainly will never be going back. read more

Excellent service and awesome food quality. The portions were above average, the taste and favors amazing. We were totally impressed having had great sushi in New York San Diego and other places recently. A great new store location on davey read more

I actually liked the smaller place they had on Davie, but the new one is definitely more one. the food here is always outstanding, and of the highest quality. I have never had any problems with the food. Reasonably priced, and list of different house specialities, the only thing that they could work on is the service. It's getting better though. read more

I have been a customer of Sushi Maro for a while, but lately, not sure if due to pandemic and lack of customers, the food is not fresh at all. Fried foods like crispy chicken ,chicken karagee and tempura, they were all re-fried, hard, and tasteless. read more

This is one of the better bets for bang-for-buck sushi at Yaletown prices. When your main competition is Minami and Bistro Sakana, almost everything is cheaper with bigger portions. For visitors to the city, this is probably decent enough introduction to Vancouver sushi. It really isn't the best or the worst. If you're willing to walk a few blocks away though, you can get better sushi at a variety of places. Sushi Maro has a heavy lock on the business lunches in the area, who are just looking for something reasonably filling, nearby, and is more upscale than Jugo Juice. read more

They have done a good job inside. It doesn't really resemble the cafe that used to be there. The service was okay. They were friendly enough but I think it could have been better. Maybe it's just me but if I see a patron with a child, I would ask whether the child needs a fork. I asked for extra bowls to share the soup and there were no extra spoons brought out and no side dishes for all of us. I might be a overly critical but I think these are some of the things the server may do to ensure good experience. They messed up on my order but it was rectified quickly. As for the sushi, I think it was okay. I liked that the rolls had a good amount of fish in it but their spicy sauce isn't spicy at all! Overall, not a bad experience but probably not enough to bring me back. read more

I swear I feel like ive done so many sushi restaurant reviews, I should be a freaking sushi critic by now. This is a fairly new place but its in a prime location youd expect them to step the sushi game up a little. Quality is fantastic, honestly, if the sashimi was shit this would've been a 2 star review easily. I think you can judge a sushi restaurant by the quality of the ingredients they use. If you've been eating sushi for a while, you can sort of taste the difference between old or fresh fish. This was fresh salmon and tuna sashimi so hats off. Service is whatever, i've been here like three times or so and the service is always meh. When I went yesterday, me and my girlfriend were staring at each other with the menus closed for like 10 minutes in front of at least 5 staff members and we still had to call someone over. The pricing is awful, incredibly expensive for a sushi place. Paid 46 bucks. left hungry and got some fast food on our way back. I would seriously reconsider some of the pricing. They have "Wagyu" beef on the menu - I asked the server if its real. She said first "I think so", then I gave her a look and she said "Oh no of course it is". Yeah okay. My girlfriend loves this place so occasionally we still come back. It's like the only 2.5 star sushi place that I go to. read more

The atmosphere + interior are nice. The food is not bad either, and so is the pricing considering the area and the surrounding restaurants. Came here for lunch and got one of the bentos. The sashimi was quite fresh, and although nothing stood out to me as super delicious it was a nice meal. With all the sushi restaurants around, I'm not sure if this place would be my #1 choice next time as well but it's definitely an ok option. read more

Located in Yaletown and one of our favourite places for sushi in Vancouver. Every time we go, we know we are at least going to order their Don katsu. Soooo good and crispy. The sushi has always been fresh and never disappointed us. The price is a bit higher than other places, but that's understandable due to the location. It's not going to get the 5th star because of service. The service is pretty slow and sometimes it takes a while before a server decides to come back to your table. Definitely a place to try if you're feeling sushi. read more

Great food! Excellent service! We love coming here and plan to be back next time we visit Vancouver.

Decent sushi at a decent price (for yaletown). Quality is good, taste is mid range- 3/5. Added another star for good, fast and friendly service. read more

I had not had good sushi for over a year. That's because I've been in a land-locked place where I don't trust their establishments and will just eat other food instead. When I finally arrived in Vancouver, I found out my old sushi go-to place in Vancouver had shut down. I frantically looked for a replacement. Couldn't find one by sifting through reviews - reviews are just so mixed - you have the 1 star saying there is hair and rats, right next to the 5 star saying it was the best. It is not even reliable to see where the person reviewing the food is from to try to make a judgement. It is all just so random sometimes. So let my friend figure it out. She picked 3 sushi places to scope out, within a 1-2 block radius in Yaletown. The plan was to see the menu, get the vibe, pick a spot to eat. Peeked in Sushi Maro first - looked family oriented, simple, basic, fresh, clean. Then peeked in the one down the block - TOO westernized and Earls wannabe. It was raining so hard we skipped the peek at #3 and just ran into Sushi Maro to get out of the rain. SO glad we did! If you are looking for a big menu filled with the classics - BC roll, sashimi, tempura, that agedashi tofu, edemame - this place has it. AND it was all fresh and delicious. Everything tasted how I wanted it to taste. There were a few pages of chef special rolls too. But I was longing for the classics. We ordered so much. I could have eaten the whole menu twice I was so hungry and needing to fill this craving. Service was fine. It looked clean. Food fresh. Fish scent free. It was like a pig out in a sushi dream. Satisfying the cravings. I want to go back again. I need to. But when? I'm zillions of miles away from this place. I have to see you again and eat everything. When??? Sushi Maro, I love you. read more

Based on the party trays I rate this place 5 stars. $49.99 and 55 pieace of good quality sushi

I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner at sushi maro with my friend. Their salmon lover roll is the bomb! It's paired with textured sushi rice and deliciously seared fresh wild salmon. I fell in love from the first bite Please do yourself favour and order it! Surprisingly, the wagyu beef aburi sushi is good as well, very tasty! For drinks I ordered mojito, the mints and lime were so fresh. It terrifically matched the sushi. Fantastic experience and 5 star review! read more

We've been coming here for years. Since it was the boat. Now it's under new owners and called sushi maro. There was an Ammonia taste to one of my 3 rolls and I sent it back. I was told that I would still be paying for it. The quality of fish is really bad. The owner is awful and was down right rude and embarrassing it front of my family and the rest of the restaurant. I already wasn't going to come back but the issue over the roll and how big of a deal the owner made it made me want to actually write a review which I never do. I ended up having to pay for the roll and out of spite the owner took 20 min just to bring me the check. This place is horrible. I wrote this before even reading the other reviews. Like I said I normally don't write reviews but this place is just that bad. read more

Came here on a Thursday night at 5:30. Still had 30 min of happy hour left. Service - great! Very fast, very friendly. Prices - pretty reasonable and prices comparable to other sushi joints. Food - I was quite impressed. Standouts were the salmon oshi (WOW, sooo good) and the tuna/avocado "salsa" which was delicious (it came with 6 toastadas and a lovely sauce). Will definitely be coming here again! read more

Quick service and polite staff! The food is very fresh - have yet to have a bad dish here! The salmon is amazing and the chicken dishes are really clean. One of the best sushi spots in Vancouver! And well priced for Yaletown read more

I get lunch at sushi maro at least twice per week. The food is delicious, service is great, and they are reasonably fast as well. The restaurant is very nice to sit and eat in as well if you have time. read more

I can here on a whim. I was visiting YVR and was in the mood for sushi. I was pleasantly surprised with the service and pleasantness of the staff. The sushi was fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. The rolls I enjoyed were the California and Flamingo rolls. The Flamingo Roll was especially delicious. For those without vehicles, the restaurant is across from the Yaletown-Roundhouse Skytrain Station. read more

They have great service! Super polite and friendly I always feel welcome when I come here for lunch. Food is very yummy and a good price for the quality. I come here often and always receive the same service and same quality food!! read more

My recent visit to this Japanese restaurant was a not a good experience. When I ordered my sushi, I noticed a fly on my dish. When I tell the server about my concern, he said he would ask the kitchen to make my another roll. I was satisfied with this, and told the server that I can't eat in an establishment that doesn't keep itself sanitized and clean. I said I don't think I should have to pay for this email. Rather that should apologize and comp the meal. He said I need to speak to his manager who had to call her boss. Then the server started telling me about how much it costs to produce the food. This went on for 30 mins. Overall the gave me no refund. This is a place I would not recommend to anyone for quality of food and service. read more

Decent sushi, but not someplace I'd frequent. The staff was nice but they took a long time to bring out sushi and forgot about our table

***BE CAREFUL*** Broken Glass in your food- Basic Safety Violation!!! ------ Ordered "Hot Girl" role, seconds later a "BROKEN GLASS" was found in my friend's mouth, and almost cracked her tooth (the one she just had it fixed). We checked to see if she is hurt/cut in any other area. Called the waitress asked her to see the chef and the manager. Chef came in and couldn't speak english, waitresses tried to explain, not even close to describe it. No luck there. I asked to see the manager, she was not in, I insisted on talking to her, waited 10 min. to track her (allegedly) on the phone. Got her on the phone: Asked her for an explanation, all we heard was sorry, you don't need to pay for your food! (Had only couple of bites by then). Not even why or how the broken glass piece found its way into our food, nor anything about how she will check and make sure it doesn't happen. NOTHING. I took some pictures and will be uploading them here. I also would appreciate if anyone has a similar experience and can help with filing a formal complaint. I really want to make sure this does never happen to anyone else. read more

I went here last weekend after doing a bunch of errands. It is really close to the Yaletown Skytrain station. The decor is really nice and well done. It isn't really traditional but I don't care especially if they have good food. I ordered the Flamingo Roll, tuna mango avocado roll, and gyoza. The Flamingo roll was amazing! I will return just for it. I don't like mango so I didn't try the other roll but my boyfriend said it was really good. The gyoza wasn't the best but it wasn't bad either. I would probably just stick to rolls in the future. The service was adequate. I didn't find that they were hovering over me but they were attentive and noticed when we needed them. The food came out quickly and was really fresh. read more

This sushi place is outstanding. The customer service is incredibly fast and the people are so kind. Not to mention the food is amazing. This restaurant is also quite clean and the location is instagram approved. I would highly recommend this place for lunches or dinners. read more

I have been frequenting this place for a couple of years now. The sushi is good, but that was based on the price prior to an increase about a month ago. I visited with my girlfriend and her daughter a couple of weeks ago and was excited to see a new menu. But alas, the only thing different on the menu was the price. Totally out of sync with other sushi restaurants in Vancouver and also in the area. And as mentioned the sushi is good, but at the price that they are now charging it needs to be substantially better. Sadly, I will have to frequent another location that has the prices figured out. read more

We ordered and paid for delivery through the website they have linked through their main page. The website and confirmation email said delivery would take 15-20 minutes, we called after 30 minutes asking about the status of our order. They did not even realize we had ordered anything at all - after speaking to 3 different people who kept passing the phone on to another person who did not know we were talking about. The last person we spoke to asked us what we wanted to order and how we would like to pay..... Keep in mind this was the 3rd person we spoke to and the fact that we had ALREADY paid. Finally someone tells us they had just processed our order 45 minutes later and that it was going to be at least another 30-40 minutes as they're busy. Their food is good but I don't think I'll be ordering from them again. They were unprofessional and rude. ---- Update: Food arrived an hour and a half after ordering, they also tried to have us pay again, saying that we weren't charged for delivery. The deep fried California roll arrived soggy and very much not deep fried. Rating went from 2 stars down to 1. read more

The food is great but the service is awful, it is because of the chinese server that doesn't smile and she gave my soup without spoon, she left me for 5-7 minutes, then i called her attention to give me spoon because my soup is getting cold. Even when I paid my bill she's not paying attention and of course she never smiled 'til the end. read more

The place is overpriced and the food is overrated Would not recommend this place service is poor last time we came they forgot some of our order For 3 people it came to $80.00 thats without the 2 items they forgot read more

Their lunch specials are decently priced for Yaletown, until you get your food. Miso soup is watered down with nothing but a crumb of tofu in it. And my curry pork katsu lunch special wasn't worth the $12.99 ($15 total price after tax and tip). I was pretty disappointed when I got back to my office to eat! Their curry is so watered down that I couldn't taste it and it's not even visible! The pork katsu was overdone as well. Not a great sign of their food quality for such a simple dish. read more

The sushi here was very fresh, and fairly priced. I particularly liked their unagi roll. They also have a good variety on their menu, which I look forward to trying. read more

Amazing! Close to home and very fast! Great service, great location, great music, great vibes. By far the best sushi in Vancouver Defiantly coming back again! read more

The sashimi pieces were fairly small, the prices for single pieces are not cheap, the one good thing is when it's not busy the sushi take-out was fast. When it's busy, it's not worth waiting for. read more

Excellent miso and good choice of sushi choices. The ingredients were fresh. The stuffs were very cordial. Great place to come grab some good sushi. read more

Review for take out - ordered the assorted sushi plate and the roll combo for take out. The sushi was fresh and tasted amazing. Ordering by phone was easy and service on pick up was great. Will definitely return. read more

Had their chirashi don and it's not very good. Came with12pcs of sashimi. Quite disappointed at the quality of the sashimi.. very mushy and lacking texture. My don didn't come with nori(seaweed), ginger, and wasabi :( most of the stars I'm giving is to the decor. read more

Love the new digs! The new location is fantastic, bright, swank with class! As always, the food is great. Service is great. We go here a lot and really like it. When I get off work really late, I like that they accommodate me, and I feel comfortable dining on my own here as well. They are competitive to steal you away from the other local sushi bars, and do a good job too. The food is fresh, raw fish excellent quality, fresh sticky rice, the seaweed easily breaks so you can take small bites (which is vital when you're trying to be strategic and a classy lady as you stuff yourself silly on the delicious food), and the staff is friendly. They're usually busy, but never miss a beat. The specials are very reasonable, and of course lunch is dirt cheap for dining in Yaletown on a Sunday afternoon. As a local this is my go to place, my family loves it, and they accommodate large parties. Try it! read more

Sushi Maro - BC roll, negitoro roll, salmon roll, California roll. Delicious! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Came here for dinner. Food was okay, overpriced for what it was but the service is the reason for the 1 star. The hostess/waitress was pissed off because we came in at 915pm. If you don't want people coming in, you should just say you were closed. She threw the menus at us, rushed out order, kept telling us that we can't order anymore after we place our order and was extremely loud and rude. Wanted to order dessert with our initial order and asked for it to come after we ate our sushi and she refused saying you either get it now or don't order it. Suffice to say not going to be back here and would recommend to others to avoid this place as well. For a few extra bucks walk down to Minami. read more

Great service. The servers were very nice and attentive. Unfortunately, that is the only good thing about this place. The sashimi was over priced and thin. We ordered 2 special rolls which were mushy and lacking flavour. We ordered the yam fries, also overpriced. The appetizer crispy tuna and salmon cake was not crispy and lacking flavour. Chinese owned not authentic Japanese. There are other better sushi joints nearby. read more
