Food was good, ended up taking it to go because the wait was over an hour. Got the salmon sushi, crispy California roll, and the one with seared scallop. Main complaint was the taste of the "searing" kind of took away from the rest of the roll read more

Very good but not great.The chu toro was good but not the same quality as something you would find in Japan. The salmon belly nigri was the best and most flavorful and unique. The katsu was also very good but a notch below excellent and undercooked and almost raw in a couple of pieces. Comparing to something you would find in Japan so the food is in no way bad, but not excellent if you are looking for high quality nigiri. Wife had some rolls, which were good and fine if you are planning on eating a roll. read more

i called ahead at 4:00 pm on friday to see what the wait time was for three people as we were approximately 20 minutes away from tom sushi and was told the wait was about 30 minutes and they do not accept reservations. we contemplated going elsewhere but decided to continue with our plan to visit tom sushi. upon arrival, the place was busy, but we were pleasantly surprised that we managed to snag one of two tables left. menus are available through scanning a qr code. the servers were warm and hospitable, often refilling both our green tea and water. we ordered the tray b, which was an assortment of sushi including california, alaska, bc, and dynamite roll along with tuna, salmon, ebi, hokkigai and chopped scallop nigiri. we also ordered the salmon aburi and black cod appetizer. i appreciate how our server pointed out each of the rolls and nigiri when it was presented to our table. you can see the care and attention to detail in the presentation of each dish. everything tasted fresh, tom sushi serves premium sushi at reasonable prices. the venue is small, they do brisk service for takeout and a line quickly formed outside. the decor is simple and clean, unfortunately, they've gotten rid of their sushi bar (we enjoyed sitting at the bar, to see what the sushi chefs were doing, and interact with them...my guess is that it had to do with covid, and social distancing). glad to see that they are doing very well and thriving. read more

AMAZING YET AGAIN!! Tom is one of the nicest chef/owners around and the food is delicious, well portioned for the price and fresh. When I arrived, the place was full and there were many take out orders going. I'm glad they are still thriving and doing well after the pandemic! What we ordered: Nabeyaki Udon - Great amount of toppings including shrimp, chicken, seafood and an egg. The noodles were a bit soft but being take out, it was likely a cause of the long drive home. Soup was not too salty and very light. Mango Flower Roll - Lovely burst of mango sweetness goes perfectly with the smooth and tangy cream cheese and salmon. We love this special roll as its a great palate cleanser. House Roll - Filled to the bring with tuna, tamago, salmon, and crab meat I loved this roll because of how thin the layer of rice was (also perfectly flavoured) and how fresh the ingredients inside taste. Quality stands out when there aren't an abundance of sauce to mask the flavours. Soft Shell Crab - Now this is a soft shell crab. I have gotten some from different places and nothing compares to the size, taste and breading of the one from Tom Sushi. It is a large portion of freshly fried crab in a panko breading that is lightly seasoned. I would come back just for this! Assorted Sashimi (sub hamachi for surf clam) - We love the quality of sashimi from Tom Sushi and they give a nice assortment of Tuna, Salmon, Tako, Tai and Shrimp. Each piece was buttery and the perfect size (not to small or big). Assorted Tempura - On a previous visit, they had forgotten to give us the soft shell crab and when we came back to claim it at this visit, they also gave us an assorted tempura on the house! This was a generous portion of shrimp, squash and different veggies fried tempura style. Unfortunately, it got quite soggy from being take out but you could tell that fresh, it would have been perfect! Overall, the value that Tom and his staff put on customer service is clear. They care about their business not only from an owners standpoint, but are some of the kindest people I have met. I have nothing but great things to say about Tom Sushi! read more

Love the high quality fish here! The salmon belly is melt-in-your-mouth delicious. It sells out quickly though. I've tried a variety of sashimi, nigiri, and rolls, and everything was fresh and tasty. Presentation and plating is awesome. Service is very attentive, almost too attentive sometimes when they came by our table every few minutes to ask if we were doing okay. Come early because there's sometimes a line up after 6, and they don't take reservations. read more

Such a delicious and reasonably priced place. The fish was so fresh and they have a lot of different rolls. Highly recommend this spot! I came right at opening on a Saturday and it was easy to get a spot. But the place filled up fast and there was a line when I left. The service was great and they were always refilling our water and tea. The prices are great especially compared to Toronto sushi. The same items would have been 2x the price and not as fresh. read more

Tom sushi is my new favorite sushi spot in Vancouver! Tasty and affordable. They don't take reservations so be ready to wait if you come on a busy night. When we arrived in Vancouver my gf and I came here around 5-6 PM and the wait was about an hour. The staff is super friendly and attentive, in fact they have plenty of servers roaming around that if you ever need anything they are right there! They serve complimentary tea and will happily answer any questions about the menu The interior is very simple and minimalistic which was pleasant to be in. The nigiri is melt in your mouth fresh and the rolls are plenty tasty as well. We ordered salmon and tuna nigiri the first night and ended up getting the Tray B the second night! We enjoyed Tom Sushi so much we even came back our last night on Vancouver! read more

Excellent food and service ! A must go to when visiting Vancouver. We come here often so delicious.

A very nice sushi place we stopped by in Davie Village. Waited an hour on the waitlist after walking in on a Sunday evening. IMO it was worth the wait. The tuna was CRAZY melt-in-your-mouth soft. Hamachi had a nice deep flavor to it, while the salmon was really smooth. My favorite however was the amaebi. The body of each was kind of small but super sweet and buttery. The heads were all deep fried and contrasted amazingly well with the rest of the sashimi. While the cuts for the salmon and tuna were very thick, I noticed that the hamachi and the other picks in other sashimi combos were rather thin. My friends got the preset sashimi platters and while they got more sashimi in total, I ended up with more of the pieces I enjoyed. I would definitely go for a similar custom sashimi platter if I came back, maybe replacing the hamachi with more tuna. read more

Visiting Tom Sushi from California after hearing good reviews. We ended up waiting over 1.5 hrs on a Monday but sushi was absolutely worth it. Not overly pretentious but carefully crafted and absolutely delicious. The staff is humble, attentive, and observant. After an incredible meal, they gave us ice cream on the house for the wait (which they totally didn't have to do). The food was so memorable that we came back again in two days, essentially having this as 2 out of our 4 nights for dinner. They recognized us the 2nd time and even got the kids to say hi to Chef Tom who served us with a smile. Hands down our favorite meal in Vancouver and possibly one of our favorite sushi places outside Tokyo! Highly recommend. read more

One line review: Good but slow your roll on top five in Canada. We ordered takeout during the late part (I hope - June 2021) of the pandemic. We got: - Dynamite roll - Dirty Magma roll (The chopped, flamed scallop was NOT noticeable, so this was like a California roll with hints of smoke [pleasant]. Covered in sriracha mayo, which was not in the description). - Assorted sushi combo (They were kind enough to substitute an alternative to the Ika nigiri, which I don't enjoy. Beautiful and more carefully made than the econo sushi I often eat. Fish on the tuna was on the thin side, but everything was fresh, attractive, and well-executed.) Portion was good, and pricing was attractive for sushi. Decent value. Online ordering worked well, and my wife was able to go in and pick up the food, even though it was in my name. Bottom line: Competent, but I'm amazed by the Yelp rating as the 2nd highest rated restaurant in the country. It was good enough to merit a return engagement at some point. read more

Tom Sushi is now a new favourite. The new décor is minimal but warm and inviting. Staff were friendly & very attentive (hot tea poured when you were about to ask-like they can read your mind!). The show stoppers - the amazingly delicious food and beautifully plated like an upscale restaurant but so affordable. My friend and I had, Oyster Motoyaki (2 oysters per dish): served warm and with melted cheese. Saba Nigiri: fresh and good portion of rice to fish. Salmonholic Roll: a speciality roll with crab meat, seared salmon and topped with their special sauce and potato flakes. Enjoyed this roll tremendously. Unagi Don: I usually don't like unagi but this dish is amazing with bold flavours but balanced with a sweet/savoury glaze. Light crisp on the outside and soft inside. Cooked to perfection and just melted in my mouth. Also served with 3 pieces of vegetable tempura. Hirekatsu: the pork tenderloin was so moist & juicy and the freshly grounded bread crumbs, made each day, made it light and crispy. The portion as huge and it was tough for us to finish it all but we did it! If you are really hungry, you can ask for an additional serving of the cabbage salad and rice that is served with. Black Sesame Ice cream: so creamy and smooth with a light hint of black sesame. Arrived at 5:30pm and able to get a table for 2. By 6:15pm, a line started to form. The wait is around 30 mins. This place is not for lingering so eat up, enjoy and move along for those folks in the line up. Closed on Tuesdays. No reservations accepted. Paid meter street parking or transit would be better as it's downtown. read more

Tom sushi is INCREDIBLE. Such great quality fish at reasonable prices and delicious rolls! We came here twice within 3 days. That's how delicious it was! There will be a wait. Be prepared! Come early or get your name on the list and get a drink somewhere nearby or order takeout. They were cranking out all the takeout orders! The interior is minimalistic and cute. They give you some hot green tea to start (have to ask for water). The nigiri was to die for. Toro and salmon belly were the favs. The uni nigiri was also amazing. I can't remember all the names of the rolls we got but the orange one pictured where we got 2 the next time was hands down the favorite. Could do without the rainbow roll but everything else pictured was phenomenal. I want to come back to Vancouver just to eat at Tom's! Give this place a try. You will be so happy you did! Staff is entirely masked and super kind. read more

This is one of the best sushi I've ever had, and it didn't remotely try to break the bank. Highly recommend. Fish is super fresh and melt in your mouthy texture. No fishyness. Sashimi slices are more like rectangular blocks. Surprise win was the grilled eel; it's normally an 'ok' item for me, but I was wowed! small restaurant that's not good for parties larger than 4. Staff are all super nice and polite. read more

Wanted to try a different spot for sushi from one i regular go to. Ended up with Tom Sushi. To begin with make sure to give yourself ample time since the place is small and you may need to place your name on a waitlist. The service here overall is very friendly and welcoming. Ended up having 5 speciality sushi's. Had the red dynamite roll, black dragon roll, dirty magma roll, salmonholic roll, and the mango roll. All of them unique in flavor and delicious in their own way. You cannot miss here. If I have the opportunity next time would try some of the remaining from the list. Overall, good spot for sushi. read more

We were in Vancouver for just a couple days, this summer - so I made sure to eat sushi twice in those two days, at two of the best sushi places I could find, this being one of them. I *wish* I could say I'd tried every sushi place in the area and this was the best (could you imagine? That'd be a dream job...), but I only had a couple days, I just found the places that seemed the best on yelp. I can certainly say I wouldn't be *surprised* if they were the best in Vancouver, though - they were pretty fantastic, better than basically any sushi I've had in the US, and I've had some great sushi. We were a little nervous when we got there and there was a line, but they quoted us a 25-30 wait, and 30 minutes later we came back and a table was waiting for us (though when we got back, around 8 PM on a Friday, the wait had already clearly gotten much longer - so earlier is probably better if you don't want to wait.) Once we sat down, we had incredibly prompt service from start to finish - though possibly because they need to churn tables quickly because there was a huge line of people waiting for tables, but either way, I'll take it! Great, quick, friendly service from the moment we sat down to the moment we got up. We ordered ~90 (Canadian) dollars worth of sushi total between the two of us, including a couple rolls (the smoked salmon was great), a $25 excellent and pretty substantial chirashi full of great fish, a pile of probably the best, melt-in-your-mouth, buttery, flavorful salmon I've had in my life, unagi that was pretty good (*unlike* the rest of the fish, I've definitely had better, but it was still great), and on the way out, another half order of salmon. We weren't really hungry at that point (pretty decent value, for such great fish and such great service), but it was just so good, we had to get a couple more bites in. (I'm just sad I couldn't try everything - if I were back in Vancouver, despite having so many other great sushi places to try, it'd be hard not just immediately coming back here instead. I definitely wanted to try the salmon and mango roll - but I'd probably also get another chirashi, it's hard to beat that for value if you love all kinds of sashimi.) The house sake ($12) also wasn't bad - clearly not what you're here for, but I've had much worse. (I'd get it again, anyway.) read more

I read an article that named Tom's Sushi as the best sushi place in Vancouver. https://nomsmagazine.com/best-sushi-restaurants-in-vancouver/ It didn't lie. I ordered Tom's Sashimi platter which came with 29 pieces for two people. It was so fresh and great portions. We barely finished. We also got the agedashi tofu... hands down the best. Their broth is not too sweet and not too salty. Very balanced. The tofu has a nice crispy outside with the traditional "stickiness" from the coating. AmaZing. The unagi Don was a huge portion too and cooked perfectly. Awesome service paired with delicious sushi. Can't go wrong. read more

One of my favourite spots in Vancouver for both dine in and takeout. The price is very reasonable for the quality of the sushi. Their nigiri is extremely well priced and the additional aburi option is great. Service is very friendly and the restaurant has a nice feel to it. It's always busy though, so I usually plan to wait at least 20-40 minutes to get in but it's worth it. read more

Small restaurant, clean and nicely decorated. The staff were nice and welcoming. I would suggest either going right when they open or wait for the next hour to head in. They fill up quickly, if you're driving and paid for parking there will be a wait (the biggest downside to Tom). While waiting to be seated, we saw a lot of takeout orders going out. That's definitely a good sign. The food was great! The sashimi looked and tasted fresh. The tempura was crispy and good sized prawn and sweet potato slices. The sweet potato were slightly underdone due to the thickness, only negative part of the meal besides the wait. The pork katsu was also crispy, thick and moist. The vermicelli in the rice was a nice addition and there was a good ratio of egg and sauce with the rice. Overall, will definitely be back when I visit Vancouver! read more

Nice clean, modern and fresh interior. Food is good, nothing stands out but good. Prices are on the higher side for this type of restaurant. Service is also good. Parking can be challenging, since Davie street is busy and not always easy for find street parking available. read more

Sushi joint after sushi joint has born and died at this very location. It's a mystery because they all tend to do well at first. This place opened with a bang! Coming 2nd on Yelp's Top 100 restaurants in Canada in 2019 . Maybe there's something that I don't know... but I can't hand out all 5 stars. A wider variety of sashimi than your average sushi place and in my limited ability to judge, fresher? It's good. Better than its predecessors, but I don't think it's the 2nd best restaurant in all of Canada. read more

cheap and delicious, I couldn't ask for anything more. The house roll was a bit too big to eat in one bite (but still really good) and the salmonholic was interesting (I didn't like it too much), but the salmon avocado and red dynamite roll were delicious! I would definitely order again. read more

Sushi is a common choice for a dining destination for my wife and I. As we checked Yelp for ideas, this place stood apart so we checked it out. Service was fast and attentive. This place is well ran. Appetizer was our typical Ebi (shrimp) tempura. I'm not sure why I had to use Ebi like the restaurant does...I am just being upity. It was some of the best tempura shrimp I've ever had. We then ordered 3 maki rolls. All 3 were expertly rolled and sliced. Better prepared than most sushi restaurants I've been to. The fish was very fresh. It was outstanding! So why only 4stars? Nobu is 5 stars. Tom's was not Nobu. The service at Tom's is very fast with not a lot of personality. I believe the Japanese need to be reminded sometimes that it is okay to have fun while you are serving something great. read more

Amazing food, amazing service. It's always a great time going there. Love the ambiance as well.

Visited Tom Sushi while on trip to Vancouver and really enjoyed the food. I was staying nearby and opted to just do take out, so no comment on ambiance. I will say that I had a heck of a time finding the restaurant on foot using Google Maps. Not the best signage and GPS takes you to kitchen door in back ally. Anyway, it was well worth the trip. The sushi was incredible. Everything was fresh and well prepared. Pricing was reasonable for Vancouver. I'd definitely head there again next time I'm in town. I would give a heads up that the restaurant is in a vibrant LGBT part of town, so if you aren't comfortable with the LGBT community, probably not your scene, but you would be missing out. Enjoy!!! read more
