We were a party of 3 with no reservations and was told it would be a 10 minutes to get a table. We only waited 5 minutes to get seated. We received friendly service and delicious food. read more

Tom Sushi - Smoked Dynamite roll, Salmon Jalapeño Aburi roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Amazing aburi hako sushi! Everything that we tried was impressive. The service is outstanding and the place bright and modern.

Amazing sushi!! Service was fast and friendly and the price was totally reasonable for the high quality!!

I now understand why people rave about this Japanese restaurant and consistent five star ratings! Their fish are really fresh! I ordered an Assortment of Nigiri + Salmon Jalapeño Aburi Hako + Negitoro Maki + Dirty Magma Roll. Everything was lipsmacking good!! And the otoro, toro and tai was all I needed and more! They were so buttery and fresh and they surprisingly do not carry that metallic taste that most tuna have at other places! This is the place if you want some Grade A sashimi! You won't be disappointed but make sure to order ahead of time! They get busy! read more

The BEST sushi!! It was so delicious and reasonably priced that we decided to come twice during our trip in Vancouver. The signature rolls are what really stands out at TomSushi. I find their more regular makis (eg: spicy salmon and avo, dynamite roll) to be ordinary and similar to other sushi restaurants. Our favorites were: salmonholic rolls, red dynamite rolls and Salmon Jalapeno Aburi Hako. read more

Very well reviewed newer sushi joint. From what I hear the chef came from Sushi California. The quality of the sushi is good and the selection is quite broad, although a number of the menu items were sold out or not available by the time we got there on three separate occasions. I would say their rolls and sashimi are very good for the price, location, and service that you get. That being said, some of the cooked items like their katsu and mentaiko udon are average at best. The portion of the gin dara is an actual joke. However, some standouts for me include the foie gras nigiri, saba miso aburi, salmonholic roll, and their assortment of bluefin What I do find very impressive about Tom is that I've been here for both a $25/person meal and $50/person meal and both times felt like I got decent value for money. I go out of my way to come here or get take out from here as we think the quality and freshness is solid for the money. read more

Tom Sushi was such a delightful dinner. The resent aura to itself is very small, but tidy and modern. We walked the neighborhood while waiting to be seated. The staff were super friendly and attentive. We had a teenager and child in our group and everyone found plenty of dishes to enjoy. The portions on the rolls we're super generous. In the U.S. I'm used to paying a lot more for perhaps 6-8 individual pieces of a maki roll. The signature rolls were tasty and creative; I especially enjoyed some the sauces. This is not a fine dining place; everyone was in their street clothes, lots of talking and chatting at tables with a good, fun energy inside. 10/10 would recommend to visitors and locals. read more

Tom Sushi - Caterpillar roll (already 1/2 eaten) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I arrived at 7:30 PM and was told to wait for an hour, with my name written on the waiting list. At 9:00 PM, I inquired how much longer I needed to wait for my table to be ready. They informed me that I was the third person on the waiting list and could expect to be seated around 9:15 PM. I asked if the store closed at 9:30 PM, to which they confirmed until 10. At 9:22 PM, I returned and inquired again, They informed us that they are no longer able to offer seating; only takeout orders are available!!!!!!!!!! My question is why weren't they upfront with me from the beginning that there was a possibility of not getting a table after two hours of waiting, and why didn't the staff apologize after the two-hour wait? Very disappointed because tonight was my birthday and I had planned it out, but unfortunately, due to the negligence of the Tom Sushi team, it turned into one of my worst nights. read more

Located in the hip, cool West End, this sushi joint isn't playing around. Awesome sushi for decent prices! Their toro nigiri is top notch, very fresh and felt really nice on my tongue. Their aburi is good, not as good as Minami, but for these prices, I don't mind missing the charcoal flavor. They also add a tempura shrimp in the middle of their salmon aburi for a great textural contrast. I dig it! Will definitely return when I'm in Vancouver. read more

Great sushi for amazing price. I got the Tom special that is 6 special rolls shared amongst 2 hungry folks and the 3 blue fin tuna. Service was great and the wait can be busy during dinner time. read more

Wasn't really wowed by many of the dishes at Tom. Maybe I had high expectations going in because Vancouver is known for its seafood, sushi, and asian food, but I was a bit let down. We got the takoyaki to start off, and it was pretty much your standard takoyaki and just what you'd expect. 4/5 We then got one of the assorted sashimi platters and sides of rice and split the platter. It was just okay - there was no tuna (there was yellowtail), some salmon but mostly white fish. They seemed to give more of the other types of sashimi (clam, tako, etc) than the real buttery fish which makes sense from a price perspective, but the disproportion was larger than at other sushi places in my experience. 3/5 We got an order of toro, and I had never had salmon toro but that is what I got - I was expecting the light pink ahi tuna toro that I usually get at other places, and the salmon toro was a bit of a letdown. $18 for a couple (very thinly) sliced pieces. The point of toro is that it is fatty and delicious, and our slices were barely thicker than paper. 2/5 I probably would not return and would want to check out another sushi spot on my next trip to Vancouver. read more

I came across Tom Sushi on the new top 100 restaurants in Canada list from Yelp. Having lived in Vancouver for several years I was quite surprised that this place was never on my radar so i absolutely had try it out asap! Very clean restaurant with an extensive sashimi/sushi menu. From what I can tell they are known for quality fresh sashimi at a reasonable price point - for their bluefin tuna in particular. We ended up ordering the Akami bluefin tuna which is a medium fatty cut. Chu-toro isn't really my thing (too rich!) so this was a nice starting point. The presentation of the sashimi was beautiful! Three generous slices of fish on shiso leaves with gold flakes on top - bonus point for FRESH wasabi, not the neon green stuff that comes out of a tube. The tuna was extremely fresh and delicious - will definitely try out other types of fish next time. I highly recommend their nigiri and rolls also - we had the negi-hamachi, Saba miso aburi, dungeness crab sushi, unagi nigiri, and the highlight of the meal which was the ikura with quail egg on top. I would also like to recommend the takoyaki which was outstanding! Different than other restaurants they deep fry their takoyaki which makes them crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside - must order!!!! Oyster motoyaki was a little bit of a miss but we gave some feedback to the server and she really listened to our opinions and said that she would let the chef know. Service is quite fast and friendly - attentive servers and they frequently checked on us throughout the meal. I can now understand why Tom sushi is such a hidden gem - reasonably priced menu, extremely fresh fish, great service, comfortable seats and convenient location. Definitely deserve all the 5 star reviews! read more

Tom Sushi, a Korean-owned Japanese restaurant, recently ranked the second on the Yelp's top 100 restaurants in Canada. And as a foodie, I had to go and try it out myself to see if it is worth the hype. My tip when exploring a new restaurant is to order a few dishes to share, and if we enjoy it, then we proceed to order more. Otherwise, we can leave and go somewhere else. We first ordered two hand rolls and few nigiri to share. With my friend's recommendation, we ordered two Negihama hand rolls, because they were sold out on the negitoro and bluefin. I also ordered Shima-Aji, Ika, and Akami nigiri. ** Tip #1: Hosomaki can be turned to Temaki Sushi (aka hand rolls) ** Yes! Though it was not mentioned anywhere on the menu, you can turn any hosomaki into temaki sushi (aka hand rolls) for the same price. I highly recommend ordering the hand rolls instead, so you can truly taste the freshness of the fish, as well as the toasted seaweed. One big bite from the hand roll is more satisfying as well. We tried the Negihama (hamachi & green onion) hand roll, and it was fresh and delightful. The small touch of toasting the seaweed makes it remain crispy when it is served. The hamachi is fresh. The hand roll has a good proportion of rice and fish, so you won't be stuffed with just rice. On my second visit, I also tried the Bluefin hand roll, and I prefer the negihama more. Mr. loves the bluefin hand roll, which he ordered more after. However, I think bluefin tastes better when it is served as a nigiri. ** Tip #2: Order a few items first, then reorder your favourite items ** I think this tip applies when going to restaurants. I usually don't like to order all at once, because the food might turn cold, especially for slow eaters. For Tom Sushi, I recommend ordering a few items that are appealing to you, before proceeding to order more. Some dishes are more filling than you expect, so by ordering multiple times, you can truly enjoy every dish at your own pace and in its best-served temperature. We ordered more food after our first round, which includes more hand rolls, Salmon Jalapeno Aburi Hako and Mentaiko Kimchi Yaki Udon. They arrived shortly after, and the Salmon Aburi Hako is great in quality and price. The salmon is lightly torched, with a kick from the jalapeno. I also enjoyed the good balance of salmon and rice. Mentaiko Kimchi Yaki Udon sounds basic, as you can find in most Japanese restaurants in Vancouver nowadays. With the addition of kimchi, it eases the heaviness from the mentaiko. It also gives a sour-spicy flavor to the udon. Who would know a small touch affect the flavor by that much? *** Overall Impression *** Tom Sushi is always packed whenever I pass by, and I finally know why after two visits. Its affordable pricing and premium quality make you want to go back and try something new on the menu every time. One thing I really like about Tom Sushi is its extensive menu. You can go simple and basic, with a combo or a few pieces of nigiri. Or you can go for a fancy meal with its premium fish selection, such as the bluefin special. I have many recommendations for Tom Sushi, but if I were to pick one, go for the Negihama hand rolls. Taste: 5/5 * Service: 4/5 * Ambiance: 4/5 * Quality-Price: 5/5 read more

My favorite sushi restaurant on Davie! The interior of the restaurant is clean and modern, and the service is always good. My family and I usually order the basics; - Salmon sashimi. We find it much better than some of the other sushi places nearby. - Toro Sashimi (It melts in your mouth ) - Smoked Dynamite Roll - Veggie Udon (so good and satisfying for a cold or rainy day!) - Shrimp tempura - Ikura Nigiri Had a chance to try their Sesame and Matcha icecream the last time we were there, it's pretty good. It was on the house since there was a mistake on our order, but it was no big deal! Will definitely be returning :)) read more

Decided to come here on a whim, and was not disappointed. The restaurant was inviting with adequate amount of seating (including sushi bar seating), and it was bright and clean. The staff was friendly, and ch xxecked up on us regularly. We ordered quite a few things, but since it was later at night some items we wanted were sold out. We ordered a few nigiri but my favourite has to be the Shima-Aji. We also ordered the cheese katsu, it had a light crust and was oozing with cheese (I'd recommend, and it doesn't feel as heavy as Saku's). The only thing that was a miss was the kimchi mentaiko udon, I felt that the kimchi was more of a topping rather than an incorporated ingredient and wished there was more mentaiko in it. I enjoyed how diverse their menu and pricing was, you can decide to have a budget meal or an expensive meal - there are items and price points to please all. Regardless of the price, the quality of their food was present. I would definitely come back at an earlier to time so I can try the items I've missed out on. read more

Visited Vancouver and came to this restaurant since it was close to where we were staying. It was crowded on a Saturday night, waited about 20 min for a table for 4. Cute, trendy sushi restaurant with a lot of unique dishes. We ordered a ton of sushi, including uni, ama ebi, tamago, and wagyu nigiri. Also ordered a chirashi bowl, a volcano roll, sushi set, and a mentaiko kimchee udon. Although the mentaiko udon was interesting (I didn't care for the kimchee, which threw off the Japanese flavors), the sushi was very good and extremely reasonably priced! For nigiri sushi, I'm used to paying double those prices. Staff was extremely attentive and friendly, we had a great dinner there. Also, good for kids as they had a high chair for our 1 year old and a family with 4 kids dined next to us. I'd definitely return if I was in the area. read more

The food is excellent here and the prices very reasonable. The staff are friendly and professional but because the restaurant is so busy, they don't spend any more time with you than absolutely necessary. This isn't the place for a romantic dinner but it is clean and tasteful. They also are cranking out to go orders like crazy. If you go, expect a wait, go get a drink and they will call you when it's time. read more

I tried this place twice for take outs during the lockdown. The nigiris were fresh then and it came with a complimentary side of edamame too. Was looking forward to try a dine in at this place then. Fast forward to the lockdown restrictions lifted and reserved a table to dine here. The restaurant is quite small and transparent dividers are still in place for every second table, that's good. Greeted by the host upon entering the door and seated, the waitresses were polite and nice. Here are the items we ordered; 1. Seafood sunomono, could improve a bit considering had a lot better ones from other places for that price 2. Soft shell crab, once again... it's soft shell crab not crunchy flaky crab and the sour mayo dipping sauce doesn't match. A failed to me 3. Salmon jalapeño aburi hako, pretty buttery and decently good 4. Assorted sashimi, everything was okay except for the toro, it was dry and tasteless, definitely not worth its standard for $33 5. Foie gras nigiris, a little bit under seared so they had a bit of unpleasant taste. I don't get it, not just this place but many places make the same mistakes. For food like foie gras, wagyu beef, etc... you HAVE to give it a nice sear to bring out the buttery taste and aroma. 6. Bluefin nigiri trio x2, most of the time I specifically pick places that has bluefin tuna to go to. The Akami was quite dry, chu toro was also abit dry, the otoro was okay. Overall, a fail to me. 7. Toro nigiris, dry and tasteless. Ordered 4 pieces because I am a big fan of toro, we ate 1 each and that was the end of that. When toro are dry and tasteless, it means it's been sitting in the fridge for awhile and not so fresh. 8. Uni nigiris, pretty good and tasty 9. Mentaiko kimchi yaki udon, it was okay nothing to run home screaming about. Overall, I had high hope for this place from the take outs I ordered during lockdown, but was quite disappointed for the dine in experience recently. Its like comparing day and night; the sashimi weren't so great, the toro and bluefin nigiris were a failure. The only plus to it was the waitresses were nice and always checking up on how things are. AND this couple besides us, the guy telling his girl to close her eyes like him to slowly savour the piece of tuna nigiri as he closes his eyes and make all those orgasmic sounds and telling his gf that money is not an issue, when their bill came, he said, "split bill please" lol Anyways, I have to give this dining experience a 1 star because in my opinion the quality didn't meet its price or worth. And a 5 star means it's one of the best of the best, top notch overall. So quite amazed how some ppls standards are, almost like tossing a dog any bone and it wag its tail. read more

This place is fairly new to the Davie strip, but a welcome addition. The service here is prompt and attentive, they refill your tea and water frequently without needing to be asked. There's a good variety of hot items in addition to the sushi and sashimi. Try the takoyaki. The rolls are decent value and they even garnished the ones I had for take-out with a flower! There are qlso some unique rolls, such as the rolls with bluefin tuna. The restaurant itself is clean and has a pleasing aesthetic. There is high turnover of customers, so the food is fresh. One star off because the miso soup costs extra and they are not Oceanwise. I would prefer to know all the salmon in the rolls was wild. read more

Highly highly recommend. Fresh sushi on the same level as sugar fish. Top of the line fish. All very fresh. Waitresses and staff are a pleasure. Owner knows what he is doing. And!

I ordered from Tom sushi via a food delivery app and I was pleasantly surprised how well it traveled. Of course, fresh eaten at the restaurant would be much better. We ordered a variety of items. We ordered their salmon aburi style. It was our first time trying aburi styled sushi and I can tell you I am a big fan! I was turned off originally from wanting to try because the fish to rice ratio looked ridiculous! But I was just ignorant and didn't realize that they put other things in between the rice layers so that it makes the whole bite delicious to the very end. This is highly recommended. The chutoro sashimi was fantastic. Not only did it tasted amazing...the presentation was beautiful! Gold flakes and flowers. The only thing I would advise against ordering for takeout is the hand rolls because the seaweed gets soggy. I'm sure eaten at the restaurant it would taste much crispier. One of my favorite items was the katsu with cheese in it. The outer crunch with the pippin hot cheese inside was a great combo. Would also highly recommend ordering this. Overall I felt the prices were reasonable for the quality of food. Very happy and would definitely return. read more

Tom Sushi is hands down one of my favorite places for takeout sushi! My partner and I love it so much that we have ordered multiple times a week. Favorite picks: Salmon Jalapeno Aburi Hako, Salmon Aburi Nigiri, Spicy Salmon & Tuna Sashimi, Smoked Dynamite Roll. These are always on our order. 100% of the time. Everything tastes so fresh and delicious. The sashimi basically melts in your mouth! Notable mentions: Honestly everything else on the menu, but we especially love the loin-cheese Katsu! We have ordered it twice now and it has always been crispy and delicious, even as takeout. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area! If you're getting Tom Sushi to-go, order through their app. You can get points towards free food or even $$ off! read more

With spring being here something light is in order. Thought I will have sushi for a change of pace. Always wanted to try this place and they offer takeout.

Texted us when table was ready. Good service. Food was yummy. A bit chilly when the door opens (which is often).

The sushi was so good! The salmon was buttery and everything was beautifully plated. Amazing dining for a great price.

We came here for dinner on a Wednesday night. The wait for a table was 30 min. It's not the most pleasant place to wait outside as there is nonstop smokers outside. They seem to do a lot of takeout service: at least 8 DoorDash pick up happened while waiting. Once we were seated and ordered the food come out pretty quickly. We ordered the red dynamite roll, black dragon roll, rainbow roll, spider crab roll, sweet amaebi, and sushi set. The red dynamite roll was the best flavored. The black dragon had little unagi and too much bonito flakes so that's all you taste. The spider roll was the most disappointing: couldn't taste crab only batter and it was bland. The rainbow roll has egg in the middle which is not what I'm used to at other sushi places, usually it's crab in the middle. The nigiri sushi was just okay. We were all puzzled why this place had lines and sushi positive reviews because we were pretty underwhelmed. I will say the pricing is pretty good so maybe it's good value sushi but not my favorite sushi place in Vancouver. read more

Fresh and fabulous. There was an incredible number of staff to prepare your food and serve. Everybody was friendly and everything was clean. Sushi was incredible. A bit expensive but worth it. Best way to test a sushi place is to order one piece of toro (tuna belly). It should be buttery soft. Thier Toro sushi melted in my mouth. Only disappointment was that they wouldn't accommodate a slight change in a menu item, even when I offered to pay more money. I wanted them to add salmon belly to their assorted sashimi or exchange it with something in the assortment. The waitress refused. I asked her to ask the Sushi chef, and he refused to do it. It wasn't a huge ask. Nonetheless I would go back. read more

High quality sushi at a reasonable price. Dined in twice, an hour wait on first visit & 30 minute wait on second but totally worth it. Bluefin trio was delicious with original wasabi.

Excellent sushi in a great part of town. really liked the smoked rolls. Would definitely go back!

This was way better than I thought, not just the food but the service and the speed. From the moment we walked in until the end we got amazing service, not from one person in particular but we were taken care of by everyone that worked there. The food was great and fast! I was so hungry and ordered a few too many rolls. Their prices are good too. I don't remember the names of the rolls I tried, but 2 were toms signature roll, 1 regular roll which was mediocre but great taste for the low price, and I tried the deluxe hako roll which I recommend! There are so many places that make these aburri sushi but a lot of them are not even that good so I didn't expect that much, but this was really really good. Order it if you go!! I know I will! read more

Simple decor and bright lighting - it's a nice place to sit down for a meal. The menu is very fairly priced for a place that is in downtown Vancouver. Nigiri, fresh and amazing. The salmon belly has a wonderful richness to it and is a big slab, and also very aesthetic. The rolls were great as well, hits the spot. Beware that if your spice tolerance is low, that the spicy salmon roll is quite spicy! Splurged on the blue ocean roll for almost $16. It's nothing to write home about and it tastes exactly like what you would imagine from the photo. Not sure about the "crab meat", it looked and tasted like the shredded up fish meat that is often used in California rolls. The tempura shrimp was tasty though. Definitely will come back to try more items, like their pressed sushi (only $10!) and dons. read more
