It is a hard decision to rate this restaurant 4 or 5 stars. I am rating 4 instead of 5 just because it is not authentic Japanese sushi but rather a Korean version of it. The food, however, is tasty and I am totally satisfied with the appearance, taste, freshness, and portion. I came here with a friend on a Sunday around 12:30 p.m. The restaurant was about half full and we got a table right away. There is an tablet on each table for ordering and both my friend and I didn't like it. We are both tech savvy so the problem was not with operating the tablet, but we prefer a more personal experience. Moreover, after we finish the ordering, our necks felt tight and it bothered me quite a bit during the meal. The food arrived less than 10 minutes after we ordered the Crazy Rabbit and the Tuna On Fire rolls. We asked for extra ginger and the server gave us more right away. After we finished eating, we kept chatting, the server was diligent in refilling our tea, the service was excellent. read more

If you're looking to eat a lot of sushi on a budget without getting AYCE this is definitely the spot to go to. The food isn't like Raisu and it will never be like that but the portions are freaken HUGEE. I was honestly so shocked because we don't have gigantic sushi portions like this in California.. if we did it would cost us almost double the price. Typically in California, Our sashimi is cut a little thicker than the slices put on nigiri sushi but god dam we had 2 inch thick cubed slices of salmon sashimi at Sushi Mura. I was a little shocked and confused.. I'm so glad my conversion from USD to CAD made me feel so rich. The service was also super quick to refill our hot teas and water. I'm not a huge fan of all the sauces in my rolls but when I'm just trying to get some affordable sushi this place definitely hits hard. It isn't the best quality but the quantity makes up for it. read more

Korean sushi place inside River District. Parking is plentiful in the lots in the area. The building is new, and so is this place. Nice high ceilings, and dark wood trim. Staff are friendly and professional. No complaints. Chirashi don - pretty contains everything one needs. 3 pieces each of salmon, tuna, seared tuna, more salmon, some white fish, ebi, and tamago. Everythign was nice and fresh. Very decent size. I must say I was quite impressed. I also had a chance to try some other rolls. Very good quality. Crazy rabbit roll - California type roll wrapped in cucumber slices covered in tempura flake bits and tamago.. They're trying to be creative, but this really doesn't work. The pieces just fell apart and made a huge mess. Tasted fine though. Salmon maki, chopped scallop roll - exactly as expected. Fantastic roll - pretty tasty as well. Basically like dynamite (shrimp tempura) meets negitoro (tuna with green onion). Definitely worth checking out (they do have other locations) if one is in the area. Recommended. read more

The service here is good and tablet ordering makes it convenient, but the food leaves a lot to be desired. Even though it's a Korean-Japanese fusion restaurant, it feels like it leans way more towards Korean. A dish that is supposed to be traditionally Japanese tastes and feels nothing like its Japanese counter-part. read more

I found the food is better as I like to eat Sushi and Sashimi in warm temperature. They use the tablet to put order, call waiters to help and pay bill. Both of the two locations have lot of young people to have lunch and dinner time! Nice ambiance. read more

The Sushi Mura at The River District is now a ripe-off. The 4-pc deep fried oyster went up to $13 and they probably cut up 'one' oyster with tons of batter to make it a 4-pc dish. Not only was the portion became way too small, I waited for 15+ minutes at 5pm when it was NOT busy. I had the fried oyster at both the Oak St and The River District before, and they were good. Top it off, I showed the server how little oyster was in each piece, she took another 10 minutes just to tell me that how they are with a ridiculously small discount. I expected at least a manager to come to talk to me, but not in this case. I would never go to this Sushi Mura at The River District again!! read more

Who doesn't like Sushi. Sushi is one of my favorite food. I came here to meet up with a friend. I ordered: spicy salmon sashimi (half order), chopped scallop roll and a dragon roll. The salmon sashimi was tasty. It was made the Korean Japanese restaurant way. It was sweet, savory and a bit spicy. The dragon roll was my least favorite. It was basically thinly sliced unagi on top of an avocado roll. Definitely not my favorite. The chopped scallop was good. It was not wow. Service was good. I managed to find free parking in front of the restaurant. There are parking lots at the location. Overall, the sushi was not bad. It was fresh. Prices are average. Portion size was ok. I will definitely be back. read more

It's been years since I've been to a Sushi Mura, so I thought I'd give it another chance. However I left feeling the same way I had before about their sushi; it wouldn't be my first choice for sushi. It was quite busy for dinner on a Friday night. You can put your name down and they'll text you when the table is ready. So we walked around for a bit and was seated about 15 minutes later. We ordered some unagi nigiri, ikura nigiri, chopped scallop roll, salmon and avocado roll, deep fried California roll, and prawn and sweet potato tempura. Highlights of the meal was the tempura and the unagi. Unagi nigiri- was torched but not super saucy. The pieces were quite meaty. Tempura- good portion, crisp. Although batter was a bit too thick for my liking, it remained crunchy. Salmon avocado roll- it says there's mayo in the roll on the menu. With this addition, I don't feel like it really adds to the roll. The avocado already adds creaminess. Deep fried California roll- although it had sauces on it, it didn't taste very flavourful. Rolls/nigiri- overall impression was that the rice wasn't cooked/seasoned that great. The rice was quite bland and was slightly mushy. Overall, I would say I wouldn't come back for sushi. Maybe for the tempura and other cooked items that don't include rice. They did have a lot of takeout orders, so maybe that's why quality of rice wasn't great. But I have to say service was really great. Although they were super busy, all the servers were attentive and friendly. The low stars is mostly because of the food and not because of service! read more

First time trying Sushi Mura at River District. Boy was it more impressive than the original location. Is it the ambiance? Maybe. Food seems to be better and well presented too. The only thing that went wrong was a server that probably didn't quite understand English and got our orders wrong. He could be new and wasn't familiar with the menu. But that won't stop me from coming because I'll come for the food . read more

Same good stuff as the oak location! Was happy I could call ahead for takeout and have the food all ready for me. I wish I could've swapped out the cucumbers in my dishes since I am sensitive to them, but I asked and that wasn't really an option. Overall, still glad I can get my spicy salmon sashimi here! read more

Sushi Mura - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

We were craving sushi and wanted to try a different place so came here. We got a table just before 530pm on a Friday and as we ordered, there was a lineup waiting outside so we came just in time. We ordered the On Cloud 9 roll, Crazy Rabbit roll, Okonomi yaki (half) and spicy salmon roll. The On Cloud 9 roll was really good as thr blend of smoked salmon, crab meat and chopped scallop worked well. The crazy rabbit roll was different as it didn't have rice or seaweed. It used thinly sliced cucumber to hold it together. I took a video of the okonomi yaki so had to do a screenshot of it to add here. It was okay, the edges were a little burnt. I would definitely come back and try other specialty rolls. I recommend these two rolls to try as you may like them too. read more

I know what to order from here now. The chirashi Don and gomae. There are 20 pieces of sashimi and tamago which made it a very satisfying meal. Nothing like a skimpy portion of sashimi on rice to make it disappointing. I hope they do not reduce the quantity over time. It was 22 pieces a few months ago and now it was 20 pieces. If it gets less, then there is nothing much to differentiate this place from other sushi joints. The gomae is surprisingly very tasty. I was disappointed with the small portion at the price ($4.50) but the sauce made up for it. It was a bit sweet with a fragrant sesame scent and taste. It reminded me of the peanut/sesame filling in the dessert dumplings (tang yuan) or other Chinese dessert/snack. I still wish the portion is a bit bigger. I had some nigiri and the house roll on my previous visit. They are ok, nothing special. Get the chirashi if you like lots of sashimi on rice. This shall be my go to place in future for a chirashi fix. read more

We had 4 different types of rolls and especially I liked Under The Sea special roll. Outside: wakame, sesame seed, tobiko, special sauce Inside: cucumber, avocado, grilled salmon, mayo Sushi roll with wakame? What is special sauce? I was so curious about something new and learned very good creation for eyes and mouth. No need to use say sauce. Slimy texture and creamy taste and the special sauce (a little oily) makes perfect. It's beautiful too. read more

A nice addition to River District. Sushi was fresh and sashimi pieces were good sizes. Chopped scallop nigiri are on smaller side and messy, Toro nigiri was buttery. Tonkatsu was decent. Staff were friendly and quick. I'd revisit again. read more

I used to go to the oak location but now that there's one closer to me, I come here instead. Ever since it opened back last summer, this has been my go to quick pick me up. COVID protocols: I've always ordered either in advance for pickup or, ordered delivery. A line is formed for pickup and it's a pretty seamless experience. My classic order: Salmon sashimi with a side of spicy sauce 5/5 Alaska roll combo 4/5 Rabbit roll 5/5 I prefer ordering the original sliced salmon sashimi just because I find that I can accommodate my family and my own preferences easily. I find the salmon sashimi cuts are thicker than other places. The rabbit roll is a unique option here and I love how crunchy it is. Final recommendation: An easy call decision that never disappoints read more

*This is one of many reviews for Sushi Mura* I go to Sushi Mura at River District all the time but ordered something that I never had from there before today so want to write a new review for it. Had a long week at work so decided to splurge and ordered the aburi salmon battera, one unagi nigri, and an uni nigri. The aburi salmon battera comes in 6 big pieces and has melted cheese and jalapeno on top of the aburi salmon. It was also drizzled with Japanese mayo along with an unagi sauce. Served warm, this was absolutely delicious and am so glad I finally tried it. At $15.95 for 6 pieces of aburi salmon it is a little pricey for Sushi Mura but well worth it in my opinion. Unagi nigri had a decent sized piece of unagi with it but there wasn't much sauce or flavour to it. Was a bit disappointed. Uni nigri had two small pieces of uni and was good value for the amount of uni for $3.25. However, you uni did not taste particularly fresh so you kind of get what you pay for. Highly recommend the aburi salmon battera and will definitely order it again! read more

Fresh and delicious! I most enjoyed the toro roll but everything we ordered was good. Great location right in the river district close to the save on foods parking lot for free parking. We visited during off hours and there were still a ton of take out orders. These didn't impact the service or speed for our order. Everything came very quickly and service was quick! We were in and out in 30 mins. Quality was really good. Will be back on our next everything wine order! read more

Just moved into the neighbourhood and this sushi place was recommended to us. I'm quite happy with it overall. Not having made any reservations, we were seated right away luckily for 4 people during prime dinner time. Service is quite quick and the food comes super fast!! We ordered a variety of rolls and yakiudon. Free parking underground is a bonus. Definitely seeing the possibility of becoming a regular here. read more

Came here for the first time since opening near home and the interior is beautiful! Their food on the other hand is so-so but at least the servers here are accommodating and kind! Got their red roll and the house roll since i wanted a variety (and was able to pack half of it home). My biggest problem with Sushi Mura is that their rolls are packed with rice, a little too tightly in my opinion making it much too filling. Also, their fish I do not find to be the best quality and although flavourful, you cannot taste the natural flavour come out and instead are hit by different salty and sweet seasonings. Overall, their prices are really reasonable and you will leave full but I would go elsewhere for my sushi fix. read more

Everyday I'm always craving sushi and thank goodness we don't have a shortage of high-quality tasting sushi here in Vancouver. We ate here at Sushi Mura for our sushi fix. Been here twice now and can say that although the interior of this place is beautiful and service is decent, I didn't find that the quality was great. The toro sashimi pieces for example didn't taste that fatty and I actually found some bones in a few pieces. And the tuna tataki sashimi pieces are so unusually thick that it was kind of weird to me. Presentation is beautiful but the ingredients don't stack up against many other great sushi joints we have in Vancouver. The prices are so a bit high for what it is. But not all of the things we ordered were meh - I actually really enjoyed the Mura special roll - it has tamago, salmon and cucumber covered in chef's special sauce. It was actually quite flavourful and my favourite thing that we had ordered. Overall I think this is a decent place to grab sushi but it wouldn't be my first choice. If nothing else is an option I wouldn't mind coming back but definitely wouldn't go out of my way to come here. A few hours later I actually had a bad stomach ache but wasn't sure if it was from this or not... but it WAS the only thing I ate that day so.. Here's the list of everything we tried: ABURI SUSHI TORO SASHIMI TUNA TATAKI SASHIMI CHOPPED SCALLOP NIGIRI TAMAGO NIGIRI SALMON NIGIRI MURA SPECIAL ROLL ALASKA ROLL read more

Sushi Mura is our go to sushi place. Expect quality sushi, good sized portions and reasonable prices. Our favorite is the spicy salmon sashimi with their spicy and sweet sauce with cucumbers and crushed seaweed&sesame. No other place does it better! (I used to love Sushi Garden's but this is better). Prawn tempura as expected served piping hot with a crunchy batter and delicious. I'm pretty simple so always order the salmon maki. There's something always so satisfying with ordering this roll. Definitely make the trip and this location is not as crazy busy as their OG Oak Street one. read more

Solid 4/5 stars. The Good: New place, beautiful pictures can be had with all the lights across the ceiling. Food for what you pay is pretty decent. Lots of variety also available. They have plenty of surface and underground parking shares with the other commercial tenants at River District. Why didn't it get 5 stars? Service: While getting you to a seat is fairly quick the time to take your order or bring your tea can be fairly long. Also getting the bill takes forever. We've had to flag them down for it every time. Food: Comes out fairly quickly if not from a hot/cooked station. I had a 10 min head start to my new versus my dining companion. Another time 2 out of 3 sushi lunches came out but took another 5 mins for the 3rd. Quality is so-so. You get large cuts of fish but the colour was a bit off for the tuna one day and the slicing of it wasn't precise. Atmosphere: it's good. Probably the best thing about this place - as it's new - seats are decent, tables are new, excellent lighting. read more

Anyone else's eyes are bigger than their stomachs when looking at menus? That's what happened when me, fiancé, and our two friends ordered from Sushi Mura. We majorly over-ordered. Oops! Fiancé and I ordered a full order of Salmon Sashimi, Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese Roll, Aburi Salmon Battera, Volcano Roll (Salmon), and Snow Village roll. Yup, quite a lot of rolls for us, and yes, we like salmon a little too much! Our friends went the less-rice route and ordered the Deluxe Assorted Sashimi, a variety of Nigiri Sushi, Chicken Karaage, and California roll. For all of us, it was clearly too much and we all had hella leftovers for the next day. Everything was delicious though! My favourites were the Aburi Salmon Battera and the Volcano Roll! Our friends have ordered from Sushi Mura before but this was the first time for us.. and it definitely will not be the last! read more

We are regulars at the Oak Street location. We found out they opened a new location at River District area. When we think the Oak Street location is slammed busy, we come here, even though it a bit farther away. Parking is better at this location as they have parking on the street or parking lot (covered). The few times we dined at this location there are no waitlist to be seated. Score! The food quality is consistence with the Oak Street location. This location is bigger which feels more comfortable with tables having more space from tables around us. The food: - Unagi don: first time ordering this at sushi Mura. Presentation looked beautiful. It was odd it had wasabi and ginger in it so I took it out. The rice tasted good with the sauce and plenty of unagi. However the dish was room temperature (almost cold). I expected the rice dish to be warmer. - the rolls were good as expected. - the dynamite roll - large and very tasty - shrimp tempura - crispy and juicy inside Definitely worth to go! read more

We liked our first dinner experience here so we went back a few nights later. The interior ambiance was welcoming and service was attentive. The fresh hamachi sashimi and the crispy tempura were the main attractions for us. The beef teriyaki was also good. However, we were not a fan of the spicy tuna roll. The sushis were ok. On our second visit we expanded our order to include sweet potato, vegetable tempuras, wild salmon sashimi (bright red color!), and unagi in addition to the hamachi sashimi. A feast for three of us! Everything was good as expected. An enjoyable dinner. read more

Brought my family and was very pleased with the quality of the food. My girls shared the chicken katsu, my wife enjoyed the sashimi don and the Alaska combo was very tasty. I would recommend coming here. They added tablets with an order menu at each table for innovation, while stile having menus available for a more traditional dining experience. The sashimi quality was very good. read more

Unfortunately I have to update my review once again. I have been a customer for years and I have noticed that service and quality of the food went down while prices went up. I used to like their specialty rolls, but my last roll was $18 and the crunchy bits tasted horribly stale. Also rolls had too much rice and fall appart when you tried to eat them. Oh and when the staff starts to make fun of you (thinking you haven't noticed), you know it's time to move on and start to support another business. I wonder if more people had similar experience, cause this place used to be packed, especially on the weekend and now its bately half full and less takeouts. But we had a good run for a while. read more

I ordered from Sushi Mura for takeout since a friend reccomended them to me and I am so so so impressed! Sushi Mura is probably one of the best and affordable sushi places in Vancouver. I ordered the salmon maki roll, california roll and alaska roll. All of the salmon used in the rolls were such large pieces and fresh as well. The crab filling in the california roll was so delicious and the sauce on the alaska roll was the best. The rice was the perfect texture, not too soft not too dry and had a nice light flavour. Overall, amazing and affordable sushi! read more

Sushi Mura is only open for take out during covid. We got the snow village roll, crazy rabbit roll, negihama roll, and a tuna and salmon shashimi. All the ingredients were super fresh and the rolls were absolutely delicious. Also for the snow village roll, we had asked for the sauce on the side and mistakenly they had forgotten it during our order (which happens quite a bit at a lot of restaurants), but it was the first time that they called us after the fact to apologize that they forgot. A big plus in my books, and definitely will be back to try more of their rolls! read more

This location is a fairly new build since it's part of the River Road development area. The restaurant was wide and open. We ordered the Salmon Don, Kitsune Undon, and the Spicy Tuna Combo. I typically do not like non-Japanese run Japanese restaurants, but I have to give this place a thumbs up. Portion sizes are good and the price points are good. The food was comparable to the Japanese run restaurants I like to frequent and the sushi was fresh, which indicates a good enough turnover of the seafood. Overall, I would go back if I was in the area craving for some Japanese food. read more

Friends went to the other location on Oak Street and she likes it so we decided to try this one.It's quite convenience for parking as they have a parking lot nearby and street parking. We arrived around 19:45 on a weekday for 4, not really busy, we got seated right away. They have so many different option on menu,that we can't decided. Food: Chopped Scallop Roll-8 pic for an order,taste fresh. Philly Roll-cream cheese with a little spicy. Calamari Crush-deep fried calamari in rolls,and is crunch on top! We like this a lot. Kimchi Fried Rice-strong kimchi flavor but more like a bibimbap not fried rice. This place is vegetarian friendly,he got Yam Roll,Avocado Roll and Tamago Nigiri.

Love this place, we eat here once a week! One of my favorite sushi restaurants in Vancouver for sure!

There are two Sushi Mura's and this is the newer location. The style is 'Korean owned Sushi' restaurant if you know what I mean -not a bad thing at all! They do get quite busy so I recommend order a head of time. Due to their high volume, everything tastes fresh and made to order. The price is mid range and the portions are decent. I gave this place a 4 stars because the sushi hits the spot and is consistent but it isn't the best sushi out there! read more
