I'm not usually a negative reviewer, but wanted to share this to caution the savvy food lover or to help this establishment improve. We left hungry, paid more than we expected, and didn't enjoy the food. Sadly, this spot isn't for the sushi purist or lover of raw fish. We came for lunch on a long car ride home. There were huge banners that said 20% off for lunch on the window (no exceptions marked on the giant banner or in the menu). We paid for parking and were quickly seated. We ordered 2 poke bowls and one nigiri. The poke bowl was the perfect way to ruin a good thing: 1. Iceberg lettuce 2. No rice or pay extra 3. A sweet spicy sauce that completely ruined the flavor of the fish. 4. No other vegetables other that the few that were already mixed in with the sauce (flavorless). 5. The portion was about an appetizer size. 6. It was only offered as a mixture of salmon and tuna. 7. The price was $18 each (without rice). We weren't informed that the poke bowl did not qualify for the 20% off lunch special until I asked after we paid our bill. The server forgot I ordered nigiri. Other note: All crab offered is imitation crab. read more

Some of the best sushi EVER! They are unbeatable in their quality of fish! The presentation was artfully crafted. Highly recommended!

I have driven past this restaurant so many times. Last night I was looking on yelp to see where we should venture out for dinner. Sushi Mo came up in my high rating, high review radar. The decision was made. Our first impression of Sushi Mo when walking in was hopeful and excited. The layout of the restaurant was great and inviting. It also looked exactly how a Sushi Bar should. We ordered the following items that were amazing: Miso Soup Crab Stick California Rolls Eel Rolls Avocado Rolls We also ordered the Volcano. This was the highlight of our night. Talk about amazing. I will definitely visit this restaurant again, and again, and again. Lastly, the presentation of the food was awesome. 5 st read more

Rolls with very thin pieces of fish. this is all masked by microgreens. unreasonably high price. one plus of this establishment is the waitress Malina. read more

I personally didn't find this place to be overpriced. Sushi in general isn't really cheap. Everything tastes fresh and it's well made. I love the presentation as well. We have been here twice so far, the staff is really nice, we haven't had to wait at all to be seated. This place will be one of our regular spots. read more

Sushi Mo - a plate of sushi and vegetables - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Let me start by saying that this place really needs some recognition!!! This restaurant is by far the BEST sushi in Vancouver and possibly Portland as well!!! I know people often mention sushi Bambu but this place is DA PLACE!! The sushi was delicious, we had a variety of plates and everything came perfectly executed and tasting fresh as sushi is expected to taste! I found this restaurant thru Yelp as well. We had a few different plates along with some great sake. The staff was super friendly!!! Prices are just fine, I'm sure some will complaint that's too expensive, perhaps cuz living off minimum wage is quite the hardship. I think the price is just fine for what you get. I started off with the Grand Mo Sashimi(go big or go home) lol then 2 orders of baked green mussels(delicious) a couple rolls I can't remember and then some Cali hand rolls too, some orders of seared salmon and seared tuna, also had some sake I think it was the pure dusk it was delish! Tasted very similar to a white wine of some sort. Dessert we had mochi ice cream. Everything was delicious. I'll be going back to this spot in a heart beat. Thank you so much guys for a great experience. :) read more

If you are looking to spend $265 on sushi that's average at best this is the place for you. I took my family there a family of four was handed a menu with no prices and a marker. I marked off a few items, and the bill was $265. I mean sure if you were paying for presentation then this is the place for you. But to not say anything about the price that is about to take place and to have a what looks like a dishwasher bring me the bill just seems shady and ridiculous. Remember if you do go bring your credit card because you're going to need it. read more

Took my 4 kids here for dinner. Arrived at 7:25 on a Friday night. Asked how long the wait was and was told "not long" so we put our name on the list. Got seated at 8:12 (47 minutes). I'm not too happy. 4 hungry kids that are now tired and we just put our order in. They also sat the couple that came in after us at a table for 4 before they sat us. Could have easily put a chair at the end of that table for 4 so the 5 of us could seat. read more

just like their name... their rolls could use some "mo" fish. i truly do not understand these 5-star reviews. you're paying a lot of money to get a pretty dish with not a lot of value. the fish is good quality but you're paying a lot of money for these rolls that barely have any fish. oftentimes they try their best to make it seem like you're getting a lot of value by placing raw chunks of asparagus into the roll. they do a really good job of up charging and making sure you leave the place hungry af. ridiculous that they actually charge you 2 dollars for spicy mayo without even notifying you that there is an up charge. typically wouldn't care about this, but man the spicy mayo doesn't even taste good. i'd rather pay them 2 dollars to try the spicy mayo at least once so they know the crap they're serving. bamboo sushi in downtown portland serves much more fresh fish at a better value. no spicy mayo needed. read more

We went here recently to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. She has gone to a sushi restaurant for every single birthday, without exception, since she was a little girl, so this was approaching the 35th sushi birthday dinner. We looked at the menu on their website that google maps linked to. It listed her favorite roll in the world, available in many or most American sushi restaurants, the negihama roll, which is yellowtail and green onion. The menu at the restaurant didn't list it, and when she asked if she could swap the avocado in the yellowtail and avocado roll on their menu for green onion, some weird stuff happened. (She has a food allergy to avocado) It required several levels of authorization ending in the restaurant owner (or we assumed it was her, since after so much fuss, only the owner could have had that level of clearance to make such a heavy decision about a veggie substitution in a single sushi roll) coming to our table to tell us we were looking at a menu that was 2 years old and they no longer served the yellowtail and scallion roll. It seemed clear they wouldn't even serve my girlfriend a plain yellowtail roll. She was just intimidating. And she said no substitutions were allowed. Except they happily substituted the seaweed wrapping on my sushi for soy paper without having to check in with increasing tiers of authority. Also, update your website. I just think when someone I love goes to a restaurant on their birthday and doesn't want to eat an ingredient they're allergic to, and it's easy for the chef to swap it for something cheaper anyway, that should happen. My girlfriend is really, really shy and was flustered and unable to select enough food or speak up for herself and had to take a good ten minutes to get back to smiling. But my charm and wit saved the day as usual. The food itself was good, if overly focused on its presentation. I mean, there was a mounted screen solely devoted to showcasing photos of their sushi plating. We won't go back. read more

My first time here, needed a place where I could read undisturbed and have some good fish. Perfect. Presentation of food was all very fine, elegant even, while still maintaining a Japanese understatement. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Yellow tail collar appetizer was ok and very fresh, though I've had better. It wasn't super flavorful, and sometimes that's just the fish. The tsukenomo pickled veg was also solid. The carrots and cucumber were house made. The burdock may have been but it really just tasted sweet. The daikon seemed like purchased, but ok. Roasted rice tea was pleasant. The owner (she had that vibe but I don't know for sure) offered me a free dish of edamame. When you enter, the sushi chefs both cry out a greeting. So there's something old school about this place. Even some of the house specials (in my case an albacore carpaccio) hewed to a traditional flavor profile, which I appreciated (I was tempted by a salmon carpaccio with truffle salt, but that will wait for next time). Though it was supposed to come with some diced ume plum, it did not. When the chef asked how I enjoyed it, I said q"uite, although I couldn't detect any umeboshi." He apologized that they were out, but included some puréed umeboshi on the side of my salmon skin hand roll to make up for the absence of diced ume on the albacore. This may well be the best sushi that Vancouver can support. It was better the most places in Portland, and I would definitely go again. But for some reason, it just didn't hit all the notes to move to that rarified place of a 5 star review. And it should have. Sometimes it's just how well you mesh with a place on a given day. I'd definitely say try them and make your own judgements. read more

We used to really enjoy coming here but were so unimpressed tonight. Went out for a special birthday dinner only to be given the wrong roll, wrong wine and the food is completely overpriced for what's served. At least before the quality was worth what was served. Very disappointed. Gave two stars just because we've had better experiences in the past. read more

They charge a lot of money for a plate covered in garnishes and dribbles of brightly-colored, but flavorless sauces I've never seen on most sushi plates. You'll wonder where the fish is, especially when you order one of the rolls that typically come with a healthy serving of fish. The rainbow roll we ordered had the most paper thin fish I'd ever seen along the top and it was clearly dominated by white fish. Salmon nigiri had barely enough fish to flavor the rice. Rice was dry and poorly seasoned. Some of the good reviews highlighting how there's no wait at this restaurant? There's a reason it's easy to get a table. At this price point, I expect to have full-sized slices of fresh fish on my order and better rice. You'll get a better deal by going to any number of conveyor-belt sushi places, but if you want high quality, cross the bridge and go to Bamboo Sushi in Portland. Once you've made that comparison, you'll never go to Sushi Mo again. The servers were good. No problems there. But I'd honestly take worse service if my meal were worth the price. read more

The service at this location was very poor. We ordered a roll that said fried and it didn't look fried at all. We asked the server for a replacement of the roll and they stated since it was made they will not sub out. I have been to very high class sushi places like Japonessa in Seattle and they take great care of you. read more

tasted like sushi from a conveyer belt except 5x more expensive, just choose another place.

It's fairly standard pricing for sushi restaurants (and by standard, I mean pricy). The quality of the food is decent; just be aware that it may cost about $30 per person depending on what your order. read more

A-MAZING!!! I was visiting a friend in town for a few days and we went here twice! The food was beautifully presented, the service was excellent & friendly, and the food was incredibly delicious!! (I obviously craved it after the first visit and had to return for a second. If I didn't have to leave I would have become a regular customer.) I also love that the owner took a personal interest in her customers like we were guests in her home. I will definitely return for their mouthwatering sushi if ever back in town. read more

Best place in town for in sushi in respects to variety, style and freshness but the prices are a bit high for what you get. Ordered 2x poke, side of rice, edamame and a spicy tuna roll and it costs me over $60...for lunch. I will say, the spicy tuna roll was actually spicy and tasted amazing. The poke was fresh and had great seasoning. Not a fan of the wilted iceberg lettuce bed they put it on. read more

I stopped in here fora quick ish I warm up while I waited for my table down the street. I ordered 3 Ebi and 3 of the Maguro (yellow fin tuna) . What. I received were the most beautiful and dainty pieces of sushi I've ever had. I mean the pieces were really small. I could've water all six in one big bite. It was tasty ... so what was the problem? A tab for $66.00 for one person with no wine or drink just water. There is a lot of good sushi in the Portland metro area and all could have been enjoyed for less than half the price read more

We've tried a lot of the local sushi restaurants in and around Vancouver, and as far as diversity of offerings, creative rolls, and delicious appetizers Sushi Mo is by far our favorite. Everything wins here. We haven't been disappointed by any of the rolls. The quality is the best in the city that we have found. read more

Yelpers, you let me down. We had the chicken teriyaki and chicken udon; chicken was dry on both dishes. The teriyaki didn't even taste like teriyaki; more like burned soy sauce; how does one cut the chicken with a serrated knife? It would have been pre-cooked already. If you served me Panda's chicken on a separate plate, it would have been awarded a Michelin Star...We also tried 5 different sushi dishes, and they all failed. While ordering, we told the waitress that we were interested in the real crab meat and would pay the difference, however the orders came with the imitation crab. There was also a hair on my teriyaki. They didn't even care when I told them I was unhappy with the food and should have wondered why we only touched 15% of our food. What a waist of $200. The Asahi beer was excellent, but didn't intoxicate me enough to not taste the food, not the beers fault. read more

Absolutely terrible. $130 for frozen chicken with fake grill marks and what tasted like days old sushi. Never coming here again! I'd put zero stars if it let me read more

I visited this restaurant 2 years ago and thought it was really good. I returned for dinner recently. We ordered a selection of rolls, sake, and beers. The sake was good, beers were good, service was really nice. But the sushi was just yucky. It tasted watery which is something I've never experienced. I don't know if they just messed up the rice on that particular day, but it was not good. We also ordered a couple spicy rolls and there was no spice to them at all. And our bill (for 2 adults & one child) was over $130!!!! Maybe it was just an off day for them, but I probably won't go back to find out. read more

This place was okay for me. Stopped by since I was in the area. The place isn't big for the popularity so expect a wait. Sushi was decent but the over price doesn't compensate for the quality. It's good sushi for Vancouver though... It must have been an off day but I was getting slow service and food was slow. I think they forgot an item, so I had to ask what was going on with that. Overall, it's about a 2.5 star rating for me. Good location, decor for average food and service. read more

First time in here and boy are we glad we came. Very friendly service, nice decor, and they really put together some great flavor combinations in their rolls.

You get what you pay for when it comes to sushi. Yes, as many have stated, it's on the pricey side. It's on the pricey side for a reason, it's amazing. I am a sushi fan, and I have tried most places in Vancouver/Portland area, this is by far my favorite. I've been to Thai orchid less than a block away, I love Thai orchid, for Thai food and adult beverages. It used to be one of my favorite sushi places too, but after having Sushi Mo once, it became my favorite place for sushi, period. The environment is fine, but what maters most to me is the quality of the food, and consistency of food & service. The food is always amazing along with the service. Even on busy weekend nights, I have never not seen Ms. Monica greeting and serving her guests. Her dedication to her business is admirable, and to me makes the prices even more worth it. It's not just the food, it's the passion. Top recommendations (that I get every time) Jalapeño bombs (if you're with more than one other person, get more than one order! Trust me, it's hard to share.) Jack-in-the-box Space needle Yummmm. We just went Saturday evening and I'm already ready to go back! read more

It is NYE my daughter and I stopped in on a recombination of a friend . We had tobiko w quail egg Colombia 2.0 roll and caterpillar roll We left the restaurant and upon arriving home I threw up my meal . My daughter is also feeling sick and has thrown up . We both had food poisoning . I called the restaurant to let them know and they told me to go to ER . And were rude. The rolls has such little fish in them less than the diameter of a pencil . Filled with imitation crab cucumber and rice we could barely see the fish or located it in sushi. I know it was old Tobiko or quail eggs that got us sick Becuase there was not enough fish in rolls to even taste . Looks like the cute corners as well . And they had no concern for my well being. I the toast of the tobkio was off . My daughter and I wanted a little NYE treat . And instead we are home with food poisoning .good by 2023 let that stay in 2023 . But don't go there . I do not recommend this place . They don't even say happy new year. You better off going to the place next door . Lisa read more

Man I really love this place. The people were so nice and it really stood out. I went during lunch on a weekday so it was pretty slow but overall it's a nice place. It seemed like a more traditional sushi restaurant and not as modern as some more hip sushi restaurants. It's not a bad thing by any means, this place was nice. As far as the food goes it was really, really good. I got the edamame and the Colombian roll 2.0 and both were fantastic. For the quality of food you're getting I feel like the price is pretty fair. If you go during lunch you get 20% off so that was also super cool. I really, really like this place and will definitely be coming on a regular basis. read more

Random sushi crave and Sushi Mo filled the void! The display was a work of art. Each bite was a spicy new flavor. The Crunch Munch with creamy wasabi dressing and the Firecracker with spicy aioli & hot sauce topped w/ jalapeño was perfect. Can't forget the classic California Roll. On the flip side my friend ordered the Chicken Katsu which he's had at many places. The sauce was delicious but chicken was dry and possibly per frozen. Not to mention the veggies were maybe a spoon full and luke-warm. Why wasn't everything up to the same level? read more

I have been here twice now and I already want to come back. The staff is extremely kind and attentive. They are so quick to notice if you need something! I will talk about my most recent visit in this review (the first visit was just as good), as that is obviously the one I remember most. We ordered the tempura mix, miso soup, the wild child roll, and the spider roll, to split between three people. If we had gotten a third roll rather than splitting two between three people, it would've definitely been too much. It took maybe 10 minutes for the tempura mix to come out, and the rolls came out maybe 5 minutes after. When the tempura came to the table, because they stack it so intricately and the tempura is so light, one of the green beans fell off and onto the table. This is not a big deal to us, but the waiter and the waitress looked concerned, he said "I'm so sorry- it was on the edge." And we're like "Oh no it's fine!" Really sweet of them to be worried about something that we weren't going to make a big deal out of, ever. After we got the rolls, the waiter came back with two tempura green beans on a plate. I thought this was a great gesture of customer service. Completely above and beyond, even though it wasn't necessary at all. The tempura here is really nice- it comes with some shrimp, and veggies such as green beans, onion, broccoli, squash, sweet potato, etc. It's very light and the perfect appetizer. The wild child roll has a bit of spiciness to it, but not overwhelming. ( I am at a low level for spice tolerance.) It's also really nice texture-wise. Some crispiness on the top- I forgot what the menu said it was, but I'd definitely get this roll again. The spider roll is very good- often times I find that spider rolls are not worth the price, but this one definitely is. Everything we got is worth the price here. I will say this place is more on the expensive side for Vancouver sushi. I've been to more expensive places in Seattle and I haven't enjoyed myself as much as I do here. I still go to conveyor belt sushi places that are obviously more affordable, just for that sushi fix, but if I have extra funds I definitely recommend Sushi Mo. Best quality, most beautiful sushi I've had. One downside is that parking can be iffy here. I think a lot of that has to to do with overhyped Thai Orchid on the same block. read more
