    Salmon Belly
    John C.

    My friend wanted to try this place, so we decided to give it a try. We arrived around 5:45pm, and were told there would be about a 90 min wait and they would contact us when our table is ready. It ended up being closer to 60 min. The place is not big. I counted maybe 36 seats. The interior is nice but generic enough to be just about any type of restaurant. The menu accessed via QR code. I ended up trying the following: - Assorted Tempura: Good. Light batter, but slightly overbrowned. - Miso Black Cod: Good. More elaborate presentation than most, but very small piece. - Salmon Belly Sashimi: Very good. Fresh and delicious. - Tom Special Roll Tray: Very good. A great way to sample all the different roll, all which are very good. I thought it was reasonably priced and could adequately feed 4 people. Service was very good. There are a LOT of staff, so we were constantly being checked on to make sure we were happy and got anything we needed. Overall a good meal. It doesn't classify as the best sushi in Vancouver, but I can see the quality-value ratio might be the best in the city. All the food was quite good and certainly not overpriced. I imagine the high staff count was due to the overwhelming amount of takeout orders. I would return.

    Salmon sashimi was super fresh and yummy! The rolls were ok - a bit too saucy/decorated for my taste, but not bad. This place seems very popular. It was very hard to get seating on a weekday evening - the wait was over an hour and they said they didn't know if they'd be able to seat us before closing. We ended up ordering to go, which took about ~25 minutes.

    Went on a Saturday night around 8:10pm and got told they would call us by 9pm if a spot opened up. They were very clear about the fact that last call is shortly after 9 so we might not be able to get a table in time. I appreciated this and would much prefer this over expecting to have a table than being disappointed. We got lucky though and were able to get seated right around 9. Service was very prompt and we were able to order, eat, and get out of the restaurant pretty quickly. Overall great experience even though I didn't absolutely love everything we ordered House roll: 3/5 this was ok. It sounded good initially but I think there was just too much going on Spicy chopped scallop roll: 4/5 presentation wasn't the best but it still tasted good Red dynamite roll: 5/5 their most popular roll for good reason. I would def recommend this one Salmon and tuna nigiri: 5/5 I liked both a lot and this perfectly scratched the itch for my sushi craving

    After an okay experience at one of Vancouver's more famous sushi restaurants, we decided that we needed to visit Tom Sushi for some better food. I walked in and checked in. Almost an hour later, we were seated. Service was good. We ordered a bunch of rolls, nigiri and some sashimi. Most of the rolls seemed like a variation of a California roll with different fillings. The nigiri was a variety of tuna, salmon, shrimp, clam and scallop. The sashimi was a nice piece of tuna. Everything that they served was fresh and tasted good. We liked our experience at Tom Sushi. They gave us what we missed the night before at a fancier place.

    TLDR: Great sushi restaurant at an affordable price and good location. Would recommend going early since it does get quite busy and the space isn't huge. Food: We had the tuna nigiri trio (2 orders), salmon aburi, kimchi udon, and dx assorted nigiri. All pieces of fish were extremely fresh and tasty, with the tuna trio being a highlight by progressing from lean tuna to fatty otoro. The aburi was also amazing, with the richness of the aburi style complemented by the spicy jalapeno and crunchy tempura inside of the pieces. The dx nigiri combo had standard pieces and both salmon and tuna maki. One thing to keep in mind is that only the tuna trio came with "real" wasabi, all other items came with horseradish wasabi. Price: The prices here are great, which is probably one reason why the restaurant is so busy. To get this quality of sushi at this price is an extreme value! Service/Ambiance: Service was outstanding with there being lots of wait staff. The restaurant isn't very large, with tables being fairly close to one another but that wasn't a huge issue for us since we only had 2 people. The decorations are bright, modern, and chic. Misc: Tom sushi does not take reservations! We went at around 6:15 on a Saturday and had to wait around ~20 minutes for a 2 person table. After us though the waitlist did grow to over 5+ parties.

    Tuna Vancouver is better than Seattle. All the food was presented wonderfully. Soba has frozen broth which kept the the firm texture just right. I'm not a roll person, but this signature roll had fried bits over a glorified California roll. I really enjoyed the nigiri. Highlights to otoro, fluke, scallop, shrimp/shrimp head. Also a good date spot. There were a couple of tables where people were on date night.

    Tom sushi is top-tier very fresh sushi located in the West End where there is ample competition for your dining experience.

We arrived late in the evening as our efforts to go to another West End restaurant failed glad we came to Tom sushi as Every dish was presented very quickly and was freshly prepared even though it was last call shortly. I had the teriyaki chicken with rice, which was a very generous serving for an extremely reasonable price. I also had chicken karaage which was freshly deep-fried and not refried stationed food The tuna and salmon sashimi were very cold and generously cut. Aburi Sushi was perfectly pressed with jalapeño pepper to add some heat sushi is my go to downtown

    Visiting from Toronto and wanted sushi before I leave. Did some research and came here on Thanksgiving around noon. It was busy and we put our number down for a table. They said it would be 25 min wait but it was ended up only being a 5 min wait. The restaurant isn't very big but very cozy with comfortable seating. The service was fast, quick and attentive. I got the salmon aburi and dirty magma specialty roll. Everything was very tasty, the ingredients paired well, and it was fresh. I did find their sushi a little too saucy, but it was good nevertheless. The beef yakisoba was also really tasty, average portions. My partner got the bluefin nigiri trio and said the fish was very fresh. Overall, a solid spot for sushi. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for sushi in Vancouver!

    One of my favorite places to get sushi in Vancouver! I try to come every time I am visiting the country. The prices are really great and affordable for fresh fish. The restaurant isn't that big and it's quite popular so try to make reservations ahead of time or be prepared to wait! Great for mainly parties of 2-4 ppl in my opinion. A must order for me every time is the salmon aburi sushi. Highly recommend!

    This is my second time at Tom's and I love it here. As soon as you walk in you can smell the delicious sushi. Everything is fresh and well made. The rice is seasoned perfectly. Sashimi is thick and flavourful. Can't go wrong with any of the rolls. The Aburi is also delicious. We got a creamy kimchi udon this time and I was surprised by how much I liked that one too. Be prepared to wait a while but it's worth it. Just walk about nearby until it's your turn. There's a waitlist but no reservations. Service is friendly. I'll be back!

    Visiting Canada again and decided to bring a friend here! It was really good, the service was okay. The wait time was so long but worth it. The service we had the last time was better, this time it took really long to close us out. We were sitting there waiting for our check for a long time. Even when we were ready to order, it was hard to flag someone down. Our favorite were the veggie tempura and I loved the Toro! In my opinion I loved it raw and without the auburi.

    Absolutely delicious! We love the buttery and creamy toro nigiri, the most fresh Dungeness Crab Nigiri and the Toro Nigiri. Lovely modern interior and friendly service.

    This is a great hole-in-the-wall to dine in. My date at the time had always wanted to go inside but never really had the chance until we decided to go. We were well received by the hostess and sat a a decent table. Everyone is really friendly and helpful! We personally liked that it's small and feels intimate. Perfect for a nice family dinner or dates. The playlist they had on was rockin'! The food was really good. Sushi was fresh and not overcooked or over-seasoned. I'd say prices are moderate for what you get. My only piece of advice is that we felt that the restaurant would get more foot traffic if they had better signage/branding outside. Overall a great experience!

    It is not bad but worth the wait? No. It isn't the best sushi by any means but the prices are very good. I wouldn't come back.

I would recommend chicken or shrimp if you want a protein. I had the tonkatsu (pork) which was a little tougher. The thinly sliced pork with cheese inside was the best bite I had. I also enjoyed the katsu nabe but the soup does affect the texture of the fried pork. There was also unlimited rice, cabbage salad, and sesame sauce here. Amazing! My husband ordered the curry chicken katsu which was excellent and our friends ordered the Zenbu Katsu which was plenty to share between two people. The staff are very sweet and attentive and the restaurant is clean and simple.

    I had no idea that katsu could taste this GOOD. I mean, all katsu I've had prior to eating at Saku…read morejust pales in comparison. Who knew??? My hubs and I vacationed in Vancouver a few weeks ago in late April. We had seen the long lines for dinner at Saku when we were here more than a year ago. So, we decided to give them a try for a late lunch around 2pm on a Wednesday afternoon. No wait. We got seated right away. We liked how spacious and airy the dining room was. Our wait staff were friendly and on point. They were considerate about answering our questions about the food and food allergies. 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. You won't believe how good katsu can be until you try it.

Each piece gets torched over charcoal which gives it this smoky, melt-in-your-mouth quality, and the specialty sauces mean you don't even reach for the soy (they will also say to your face not to, so unless you want to endure their judgement--which my husband happily does--I'd stay away from soy sauce for the aburi. Their salmon oshi is well known, I love the ebi oshi the most but definitely get both and decide for yourself. The whole menu delivers though, from the sashimi to the rolls to the cocktails, all of it beautifully plated without feeling fussy. The space is nice too, took a big group of family here once after an event and they all loved it. And if you're here in the summer ask about the garden patio out back. It's an elevated experience but never stuffy. Perfect for a date night or when you want to treat yourself. Reservations are a good idea because it fills up. Easily one of my favourite spots in Yaletown though!

    I went here for a special occasion dinner. Reservations are highly recommended because they are…read morevery small - 12 diners per sitting and 2 sittings per night. 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. It's not some place I could afford to go to often, but glad to do it at least this one time.

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.
