    Sushi combo
    Elton C.

    I went to this restaurant for a late lunch on Sunday. It was raining and I wanted to quickly find a place to eat. I saw this place when I was driving so I parked my car outside the restaurant and gave it a try. After I entered the restaurant I found it had limited space for dine in. They have all the typical choices of sushi rolls and appetisers plus some Korean dishes. Yes, the owner is Korean. I ordered a pink combo and salmon roll. The salmon slides in the sushi were not easy to chew. The quality was just mediocre. Maybe, I visited at the wrong time? The service was fine and this was the only good portion of the experience.

    Miso soup, seaweed salad, mango roll
    Kelly S.

    Fresh, fresh food! Their dipping sauces are also amazing. They are a small place, but they pack a lot of flavor. The service is fast and friendly, offering miso soup appetizer.

    Absolutely fantastic food, friendly service, my boys were very impressed, five stars.

    I was looking for a nice and low budget lunch place, and stumbled into this cute little sushi restaurant. The place is fairly small, however it's about the normal side of all sushi places. It has a L shape bar with a couple tables for groups of two and four. They have an intensive menu on their special sushi rolls, as well as sushi combos. I ordered the sashimi combo on their lunch combo as I was craving for sashimi. It included two pieces of salmon and tuna sashimi, fairly good size, 8 pieces of dynamite rolls, green salad and chicken or beef teriyaki. The portion is pretty big, and I couldn't even finish the whole box. The miso soup was also included. All the ingredient were made fresh, and they are pretty generous with their portion. There are two chefs working in the kitchen, a serve takes orders and serve the table. She came to check on me a few times, offered to top up my tea, very friendly. They also have other lunch combos which priced very reasonable as well. I would recommend this place to anyone who's a sushi lover. Maybe next time I'll come and try their special rolls.

    I love this place! It has that mom and pop restaurant feel where they treat you like friends and family. It's a very great secret gem! It's very small inside. Literally an equivalent of a sushi bar style from Japan! The sushi is very fresh and the prices are super cheap! I highly recommend trying this place here as you really get your money worth and the quality is amazing!

    Black Tiger Roll & Wakame Salad
    Dana S.

    Wow indeed. The prices make it look like a cheap basic sushi place, but this is legit good stuff! The menu is good value all around, but the prices for the combos in particular are insane, it's tons of sushi for the price of what could be one roll at comparable restaurants. Also the menu is huge with lots of interesting options, including special rolls with brown and black rice, and many vegetarian rolls. Sushi was what I was interested in, but there are plenty of entrees besides just sushi. I ordered and picked up takeout for a hang with some friends. I changed my mind about the roll I wanted in the middle of the call to order and then had to call back to add something I missed, but the person on the phone stayed very friendly and patient, which is amazing because I would've given myself a headache. I got the Black Tiger Roll and a Wakame Salad. I was drawn to this mainly because I wanted to try something with black rice, and the wasabi tobiko sounded interesting. It was very good! Besides just a nice combination of flavours, the ingredients seemed to be of good quality. The wakame was just what you'd expect but it was done right. Again, both the portion size and quality are above what you might expect at this price. I don't live near the Marpole area at all which is a shame because I would love to keep coming back and trying different rolls. If we ever have a get together at this friend's place again I will definitely be suggesting this place again though, and I don't think anyone will object since we were all really impressed.

    Sashimi lunch box only $14.95. Also came with soup. Dynamite roll was huge!

    Really enjoyed our visit to Sushi Wow. Small, basic place but great service and exceptional value. Lunch box came with so many things and generous portions. Miso soup so flavourful and chicken teriyaki was delicious. We dug the all female sushi chef vibe!

    Yam Crazy Combo
    Sylvia Y.

    Probably my favorite sushi spot in the Marpole neighbourhood, always consistent quality (especially like their sushi rice + vinegar ratio) Covid protocols in place, max 3 people in the store at once, menu also placed on exterior glass for ease of navigation. I got the Yam Crazy Combo this time, consists of spicy yam roll, mango yam roll (?) & yam cone. Impressed by the cone's filling to rice ratio, most places just fill majority of cone with rice, this one had filling all the way down. Tip - check your order status inside in reasonable time frame, typically ready sooner than the 10-15mins as quoted, server won't be coming out to flag you!

    Wow Combo
    Rency L.

    Everything about this restaurant is already said in the name: wow. Wow Combo: $8.95/22 pieces + miso soup. The Wow combo includes yam, cali, and tuna rolls. Fresh, authentic, and affordable sushi - what else can you ask for. Would recommend take-out because the restaurant is a bit too cozy for dine-in. xx Ren

    I've been to Sushi Wow various times since it's in my neighbourhood but realized I've never written a review! It's a hole in the wall but definitely a favourite of mine. It's reasonably priced and quality is always consistent. They have a great selection of special rolls and combos. This time I got take out for a picnic and tried the Black Dragon roll which is made with black rice and it was quite tasty.

    This is a small restaurant with a couple small tables and most of the seating at the bar. It was busy when we got here, but I think it was a time when people were just finishing up so it became emptier soon after we we're seated. I ordered some basic rolls. Just the negitoro roll and chopped scallop roll. My friend recommended the combos, which are really filling or their special rolls. Personally, I don't really like a lot of sauce on my rolls so I just stuck with the basics. The food came out not too long after ordering. I liked how they gave plenty of ginger. The chopped scallop was good, but there was too much cucumber in the roll. A couple pieces I'd say were almost 1/3 chopped scallop and 2/3 cucumber. Negitoro was just ok. Prices are decent here and quality is alright. Maybe I just didn't order the right things, so I wasn't really wowed by the sushi.

    Hi L.

    Came here on friend's recommendation but karage & teriyaki chicken looked like left overs that had been refried. Not edible, tossed out most of it. Tuna roll was ok. This was the lunch special (until 3pm) but because I paid for it (literally 4.41 minutes) after 3pm, I was charged the dinner price. Would have been ok if it was had been cooked fresh!

    Kappa Avocado Roll
    Dani C.

    Ordered through SkipTheDishes, and while it took long, it was communicated during the order process. Worth the wait! The food was well packaged for travel and arrived beautiful with presentation and garnish. My favourite was the Sushi Pizza and the Dynamite roll. The tempura was amazing and it wasn't over filled with fake crab. The fish on the sushi pizza was fresh and delicious.

Every time I come, I can feel the professionalism and attentiveness of the staff. From seating to ordering, and then to the care during the meal, everything is done with great finesse, making me feel comfortable and at ease. The unique politeness and meticulousness of Japanese service are naturally reflected here. The food is also a reason I want to come back. Whether it's the freshness of the ingredients, the presentation, or the taste, you can feel the attention to detail. Japanese cuisine emphasizes the quality of the ingredients themselves, and Miku presents this refinement beautifully. Every dish is pleasing to the eye and has a layered flavor. I also love the ambiance. The overall design is simple, elegant, and has a very comfortable Japanese aesthetic. The lighting, seating, and spatial layout all create a relaxing atmosphere without feeling overly decorated; instead, they have a high-quality feel. As for the atmosphere, I think it's what makes this place so special. Elegant and quiet, yet not too formal, it's suitable for dates or enjoying a good meal with friends. Sitting there slowly eating and chatting makes the whole dining experience particularly comfortable. After several visits, I still feel that Miku is a restaurant worth returning to again and again. It's not just because of any one dish, but because the service, cuisine, environment, and atmosphere combine to create a very pleasant experience every time I come.

    Very good experience. Love to go again with my family every month . love the experienceread more

I tried both the Omu Curry Rice with Pork Cutlet and the Omu Hayashi Rice with Nikomi Hamburger Patty. Both looked very home-cooking style dishes, but in a good way that is very different from what you can find in a Japanese restaurant in Vancouver. Flavours were good, the portion sizes were generous and the prices were reasonable. Staff were very friendly. They made sure so thank us before we went out the door. Overall, a very pleasant experience. I liked the food, and always supportive a hard-working family. I'd come back again.

I ordered the chicken thigh katsu ($26 Can) and my hubs got the chicken thigh curry ($28.50 Can). No dairy involved in either dish which I was happy about because I have challenges digesting milk protein. Yes, it's kinda pricey. Yes, it's totally worth it. The katsu is light, crispy, fried perfectly, not greasy, and comes with unlimited rice, miso soup, finely chopped cabbage salad, and an addictively delicious sesame dressing. My hubs' curry sauce was served on the side so he could pour out as much or as little as he wanted. All in all, it was a very pleasant and satisfying meal. Saku is top notch for katsu.

I made reservations about 4 months in advance. Upon arrival, one of the hostesses opened the door for us, and asked us to wait in a very ornate waiting area. We only waited a couple of minutes before another hostess seated us at the main seating area. The space is very dark, and only lit with candles while the rest of the diners trickled in. During that time they take drink orders, which is limited to sake, wine, beer and a few non-alcoholic drinks. Of note, they don't provide a drink menu, so we were a little surprised by the cost - the yuzu sake and the plum wine were $30 each. My non-alcoholic drink was $12, but a fair size. The theatrical portion started a few minutes later than the official start time - closer to 6pm. The shades lifted, the lights turned on, and the chefs introduced themselves. And from that moment on, they immediately went to work preparing our meal. They operate like clockwork to show the ingredients whole to the diners, and then preparing them, and serving them. Soon as the one dish was completed by all the diners, the next round came shortly after. Over 20+ dishes, there was very little wait time in between each. Each time a dish was served, a hostess was there to describe the dish and provided tips on how best to eat it. The food was overall was very good. I thought a few items were very average, most of them were very good, and a select few were truly outstanding. Most of the ingredients are imported from Japan, so I would imagine that it's part of the reason it's so expensive. This is definitely a splurge meal. I think half the diners at our sitting was celebrating a birthday. On the most part, the food is very good, watching the chefs at work is part of the entertainment, and the service is excellent.
