    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

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Quaint space with great ambiance, excellent service and amazing food. Recommend going early to avoid the wait. Worth the wait if you have to. Enjoyed the sake and sesame ice cream as well.

    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.

    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!

    Incredible long wait (which I was already aware of from other reviews and YouTube recommendations). My gf who really enjoys salmon said this was some of the best salmon sushi she's ever had. Inside the restaurant is small in the number of tables they have but it's still a very comfortable place. I'd recommend having a plan to walk around the area and site see or even put your name down on the list a little bit before you're really hungry since the wait might be at least an hour to an hour and a half.

    Average but cute sushi spot! Inside is vibey with a wood finish everywhere! My friend and I came around 5PM on a Monday and was surprised to see that the place was full already. We checked in with the host and had to wait around 20 minutes to get seated. We got the: Bluefin Sashimi Trio ($46) - Their Honmaguro Bluefin Special included O-toro, Chu-toro, and Akami; they recommended us to eat from least fatty to most fatty. I fear even their most fatty was kinda mid: not exactly the melt in my mouth experience I was looking for. DX Assorted Sushi Combo ($35) - This combo itself is a SOLID deal but you pay for what you get and it's average quality. If you're looking to get full with sushi at an affordable price point (not the bluefin though), this is the spot; however, quality is gonna be mid.

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.

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.

    Service was really amazing with servers explaining each dish and drinks were always topped off…read more Food was good, but maybe this isn't quite my style of omakase compared to the other ones I've tried. This is a more theatrical style so expect louder music and a more theatrical experience (eg one of the servers played the flute for the guests celebrating birthdays). I prefer a more intimidate and interactive style of omakase where you can talk with the chefs. This lunch also felt a little fast in terms of progression of the meal. Some of the dishes were very tasty while others didn't wow us. With drinks, we were quite full despite some reviews saying portion is on the smaller size. Our total was around $500 with drinks for 2 people. A really good experience for omakase, especially if you are looking for a unique experience though not my favourite one I've tried.
