Absolutely one of my favourite new places!! The ambiance/decor was very inviting and elegant in a cozy way; the service was fantastic!! and the food was delicious, nicely plated and came quickly despite a busy lunch time rush. The prices were very competitive and the variety of food was impressive. From fancier sushi (pressed type or rarer fish) to simple noodle dishes and a nice variety of appetizers, there is something from everyone! Thanks Tom Sushi for a great first experience; I'll be back!! read more

Long waits but worth it! Was told it would be a 2 hour wait for Friday night dinner but it ended up being closer to 1.5 hours. Food was great. Came in after a long day driving and hiking the sea to sky route so definitely was just hungry but everything was fresh and delicious. Most Nigiris are minimal with little to no dressing so nothing specular, but freshness quality to quantity ratio was there. We ordered extra REAL wasabi on the side for ~3 CAD which obviously made everything better. Everything was also fried to perfection so great apps. Service was exceptional and attentive without the servers being overbearing. Love all the girls here! Would come back just for the foie gras nigiris but the good food and service is what makes Tom Sushi special. read more

I've reviewed before but just need to add (again) that the sushi is so so good. It's our go to place that can't be beat.

Mom ordered take out delivered to us. Didn't get to experience the sit-in restaurant. Pros: - Sushi was so fresh with good quality fish - lots of variety to choose from - spicy rolls are my go-to and this place does it really nice with a sauce that isn't too overpowering nor messy - food was packed nicely, nothing tipped over or spilled en route read more

No reservations so we thought we could beat the rush by coming at 5:45. Seems like others were smarter than us. Place was packed and we waited till 6:45 till a table was free for 7 ppl. Host and service staff were top notch and super friendly and helpful. On to the food. One of the best and freshest fish I've had in Vancouver which is a place known for fresh fish. Salmon aburi was the only mediocre dish. I'm just not a fan of overly sauced sushi. I prefer the natural texture and flavors. Everything else was terrific. The sashimi deluxe was awesome. All the nigiris were delicious especially the amaebi (sweet raw shrimp), it even came with the accompanying fried shrimp head. The blue fin toro special pieces were delicious albeit a bit pricier. The cooked dishes were also great. The agedashi tofu was especially nice along with the assorted tempura. Price was very good for Vancouver standards. Will definitely come back again. read more

We were on a vacation with six of us and are always on the prowl for great food wherever we go. My son found Tom's Sushi in Vancouver so we headed over and got there before they opened. There was a line already and we were lucky enough to get one of two seatings for larger parties without having to wait. The line and wait just got longer after we were seated. The biggest highlight was my Tonkatsu meal, my wife's Ebi Donburi Bowl and the gyoza. All three of the dishes were solid 5 stars. My wife gave her Ebi Donburi Bowl double 5 stars. My Tonkatsu was dipped in homemade Panko crumbs, fried to a nice crunch, flavorful without the sauce and not oily; 5 stars. My wife loved the crisped up Ebi, the tempura that came on top and the nice flavors with all of the ingredients cooked nicely. The Gyoza was pan fried just right with a nice crisp to the bottom, flavorful pork filling and a nice soothing dipping sauce. The rest of the family had sushi and sashimi. They enjoyed the sashimi more than the sushi rolls. It wasn't the best they have had but that said everything was pretty good, especially the Salmon sashimi. Although the place doesn't have hundreds or thousands of reviews, they will get there over time. Excellent service, fantastic value, generous portions and great food. If you are in Vancouver visiting or live there, Tom's Sushi is and will be a great choice. Don't miss out, Eat Tom's Sushi. read more

The salad was so good. - blue fin trio nigiri - I could have ate 2 more plates of this read more

100% recommend. We are so glad we stopped by Tom's Sushi on our last day in town. Tom's consistently showed up on multiple lists for top restaurants in Vancouver. I was a little skeptical given the name of the place and exterior, but it did not disappoint. We actually weren't too hungry but needed to kill some time so decided to stop by since we were in the area. It was an off time on a Wednesday so we had no wait. Love that they serve you some hot tea right when you are seated. That was a nice touch. The place setting was also very nice. We opted to go for nigiri. Different that what we're used to where 1 order of nigiri is 2 pieces, at Tom's, it was only 1 piece. We got a wide variety of salmon, salmon belly, eel, saba, toro, chu toro, hamachi, and tamago. The best ones were the chu toro, toro, and hamachi. I've never had such a delicious toro in the states. It was so melty. Amazing really. read more

Tom Sushi slaps harder than Lizzo doing a belly flop. Everything they serve is top quality. You can close your eyes and just point to anything on the menu and I can guarantee it will be delicious. The highlight though is the wild caught salmon. Get that sashimi or nigiri and it will knock your socks off. Service is great. Ambiance is great. It's a small restaurant, so you will most likely have to wait for a table. But worth it. read more

They don't take resos online or over the phone, but you can add your name to the wait list if you show up in person. Service was excellent, they filled our teacups so many times. Sushi is affordable and tasty, but definitely not the best sushi in Vancouver, like most of the reviews suggest. Prawn tempura: I recommend ordering this. The batter was nice and crispy. Hako aburi sushi: it had more of a gas taste rather than smoky taste. I recommend sticking to their regular sushi rolls rather than flame-seared. Oyster motoyaki: so disappointing. This dish is usually made with mayo, which is creamy after being baked, but Tom's sushi uses cheese instead. The cheese was dry and didn't compliment the oyster at all. read more

Totally would've loved to give more starts but they "supposedly" ran out of uni, which was the only reason I had bypassed three other sushi restaurants in the area. Either way, their shrimp tempura and sushi deluxe platter were freshly made. The spider roll was a unique twist. The restaurant is clean, elegant, & worth the wait. read more

The place is quite small & not really good for larger groups 5 & above. They got a good variety of nigiri sushi & sushi rolls. Perfect party size of 3-4 max to share their sushi trays. Wait time can be long & they only accept waiting list on site. Sushi styles kind of fusion. Spicy agedashi tofu & karaage chicken quite tasty. Staff very friendly & good to hang out with small group of friends read more

Worth the wait. The vibe in the restaurant is laid-back yet trendy, with a cool atmosphere that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. We ordered 5 rolls, salmon sashimi and agedashi tofu. Everything was very good, but we particularly loved the Fire Volcano and Snow rolls, and the salmon sashimi was thick, velvety and melted in your mouth. Highly recommend. read more

The food was great and at an amazing price. Service was quick and attentive. The ambiance was calm peaceful and easy going to unwind after a long day. 10/10 recommend. read more

Great tasting sushi in downtown Vancouver. There was almost an hour wait for our party of 3 on a Friday night, but it was well worth it. Ordered some nigiris and they were all delicious. My favorites were the Amaebi, Foie Gras, and Otoro. Fish was fresh. Sad they didn't have any Uni available :( We also had rolls but they were not as good as the nigiris. Simple modern decor with casual vibes. Staff was friendly and attentive. I would come here again read more

Had a long day at work and felt more like a Friday then Thursday night. After my workout with my girls, I decided to order UberEats and decided to order from Tom Sushi as heard that they were good. Decided on the Salmon Amaebi Zuke Donburi and was surprised that it came with the Amaebi shrimp heads deep fried served separately. Both the salmon and amaebi sashimi was marinated with a sweet sauce and instead of soy sauce, it came with a side of the sweet sauce. The donburi was a perfect portion and came with 8 slices of fresh salmon sashimi and 4 slices of amaebi sashimi. For $29, it's not bad for a splurge. Will definitely want to try more items from Tom Sushi and dine in-person in the future. read more

Tom Sushi was a delight to visit. The waitlist was about 20 minutes but well worth the wait. After we were seated, me and my partner were brought hot green tea. We essentially ordered our own custom a-la-cart omakase. Some highlight pieces were the hamatoro, chutoro, and uni. My partner asked where the shop sourced their uni and the worker told us California. The service was great and never let our tea become empty. The vibe is cute. One thing to note is they only give you real wasabi for the expensive fish like uni, chutoro, and hamatoro. read more

Tom Sushi - best nigiri in my life, amazing exquisite sushi and great service!! BEST. SUSHI. EVER. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Easily one of the best meals we've had in Vancouver. The nigiri tasted as they should, fish had a clean flavor, great texture and paired well with the seasoned rice. Would definitely come back again. My MIL ordered the yakisoba and it was surprisingly also delicious! We came on a Wednesday for an early dinner at 4:30 and all the seats were full but we waited maybe 15-20 min and there were eight of us. Got seated separately but still worth it. The menu is extensive, there's something for everyone but the nigiri is where it's at. They don't take reservations, so come at off peak times. read more

Potentially the best sushi dinner I have ever had. Excellent value. Great service. What a gem.

Went in at 9:10pm just moments ago. The lady at the front looked at us and smiled as we entered. We saw open tables and were hopeful we got there in time. Then we asked for a table for 2, she replied "sorry" we can't seat people now. Then stopped and kept looking at us. Then we asked to do takeout, she then responded "oh, we already did last call". So then why is your closing time at 9:30? Why is your open sign still on? Why didn't you just tell us you couldn't serve us when we entered? read more

Yes, we had an hour wait. But while we waited for their text that a table was ready we enjoyed the bars of Davies street and ended the night with some of the best sushi I have ever had. The salmonoholic and the yam rolls were our favorites. The nigiri tasted fresh and service was very kind and attentive. I am coming back here the next time I am in Vancouver (BC) read more

Our final day in Vancouver, we were doing a self created "Vancouver specialties" walking food tour. Somebody told us we had to add a BC roll to our lineup. Tom Sushi had great reviews so we went there. It's a small place and there was an hour wait so we just ordered carry out, two BC rolls and went across the street to have a glass of wine at a bar while we waited the 20 minutes for our order. First thing, at $7 each, they were some of the most reasonably priced, food we had during our week in Vancouver! And they were delicious. The rice was done just right, not all that common even in the best sushi restaurants, and there wasn't too much of it on the rolls, (as there often is.) Everything was fresh and bright tasting, including the crispy salmon skin inside, which is the featured ingredient in a BC roll. read more

I came for a day trip with friends and discovered this this place from a Vancouver foodie vlog and it did not disappoint! It was the perfect location to have the best of both worlds-- high quality sushi and katsu. For a group of four, we ordered our own nigiri and the the cheese loin katsu. The katsu can be it's own meal as it the portions are decent and come with one more extra bowl of rice and salad (for free!). Cheese was gooey and came out piping hot. My favorite nigiri pieces were the salmon belly and especially toro. And the salmon hako aburi was so smoky and flavorful -- I would get again 100%. The service was lovely, ambiance feels premium and reminiscent of a muji store. They serve you good green tea and the plating made my heart flutter. The wait on a Saturday night was about an hour but it flew by so it was ok but make sure to get there earlier if you can! If you/group can't decide whether you want sushi or katsu maybe turn to Tom sushi for the experience of both. read more

Make reservations if you want to eat here! As with most of the restaurants around Vancouver, we found that a lot of the highly talked about ones are very busy. We did not and were added to the waitlist and luckily had a seat due to a cancellation. We only wanted to try a few things and they were delicious! The bluefin sashimi was very buttery and melted in our mouths. The uni and foie gras nigiri were both also very buttery and delicious! I would definitely recommend the hako sushi! Overall a great experience! read more

Visited Tom Sushi (finally) after seeing all the hyped reviews about this place! We went over the long weekend and the wait was over an hour during dinner time (no resos). Quite a small restaurant with just a few larger tables -- most of them were designed for 2 seaters. Luckily it's located at the heart of Davie Village so we were able to grab a coffee nearby while we waited for our table. TLDR: good quality but on the pricier side for what it is. We started with the momil soba ($12), which is a seasonal item. It felt like it was inspired by Korean cold noodles from the toppings (thinly sliced egg, cabbage, seaweed, etc.). It was super refreshing and perfect for the sunny weather. I loved that they added ice to the broth to keep it cold the entire time. Broth had a slight dashi flavour but wasn't too heavy. We then got the deluxe sushi combo ($31), with some nigiri add-ons (akami $7, toro $3.80, hamachi $4). All of the fish was fresh, rice was soft, but nothing really blew us away. Our favourites were the hamachi and negibluefin nigiri. For rolls, we got the chopped scallop roll ($6) and salmon jalapeno aburi ($12). The chopped scallop roll was pretty standard, with super crunchy cucumbers and nice textures from the scallops. The salmon jalapeno aburi was highly recommended from Yelp and online -- however, I thought that it was just okay. I've definitely had better salmon aburi in Vancouver (Green Leaf). Maybe it is just personal preference because the creamy mayo sauce seemed to overpower the salmon taste for me. Considering the cost/performance (and wait time), I gave it a 3/5 stars. I think Tom Sushi is a decent pick for sushi downtown, but I would not purposely drive down there to eat there as I feel like there are other places in the lower mainland that provide similar quality for sushi (if not better) for the same price. Nothing really blew us away or gave us that "wow" factor. read more

Aburi EVERYTHING!!! Came here because we wanted aburi hako (pressed) sushi while we were in Canada, but everything else that we ordered turned out to be even more delicious and at a reasonable price. The interesting thing Tom Sushi has is they offer a ton of nigiri aburi style (torched). I got to try my favorite, amaebi, aburi style which was really fun. We also got the beef yaki udon which was delicious. Although I wish we had just gotten a bunch of nigiri because that's highlight imo 5 for the torch read more

I've had great things about this place so I've always wanted to try! Since I was in downtown in the evening I thought it would be great time for me to finally have a meal at this restaurant. I was thankful that my friend arrived much earlier than me as the wait time for a table was one hour. I was surprised because Google maps showed that it would not be very busy during weekdays. I ordered a combination of nigiris and rolls. I thought the sushi was well presented and sashimi was also so fresh and delicious. I enjoyed the nigiris more than the rolls. The salmon nigiri was a good thickness and bite. The uni was so soft and the taste was sweet and flavourful. For the chopped scallop roll I wish they had used bigger scallops. The service was very attentive but a little disruptive for having conversations. I enjoyed the food but I may choose takeout next time to avoid the long wait ! read more

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

Wanted to take my girlfriend out to a nice sushi restaurant while on vacation in Vancouver and found this to be one of the top places to go. They don't take reservations and I counted they have about 9 tables mostly suitable for 2-4 people. So it's a small joint, but they seem to manage well with the wait service. I noticed a lot of take out orders being done here as well. Getting a table can take from 15 to 45 minutes depending on the time of day. We were lucky that we only had to wait for about 15 minutes during the start of the dinner rush. Close to being done with our meal, I over heard the hostess say the wait would be 45 to an hour! We checked out the menu prior, so we knew what we wanted for sure. We are huge fans of nigiri, so we ordered an assortment of them along with the bluefin nigiri trio, and the salmon jalapeño aburi hako. We also got an order of gyoza of course. Unfortunately they didn't have the Miyazaki wagyu beef nigiri or any uni, so we were a bit let down by that. The gyoza was pan fried, pleated, and squirted well with meat juices inside. So it hit the mark in those categories, but the wrapper seemed a bit undercooked. Definitely needed to be fried a bit longer. The sushi was very good. We liked the bluefin nigiri trio a lot that we ordered seconds of it. I think adding the golden flakes on top is a bit much, but I do understand how doing so sets it apart from regular nigiri. It definitely helps give off that this trio is on another level and they are not wrong about that. The single order nigiri we were looking forward to were the foie gras, Dungeness crab, and the shima-aji. These felt pretty unique and I've never had foie gras on a nigiri before. It was quite interesting. The salmon jalapeño aburi hako was quite good as well. The jalapeño gave the sushi a nice kick that complimented the nigiri nicely. It was a combination that surprisingly works! They put out freshly grated real wasabi and you can tell the difference. I appreciate that a lot. I have to mention how great the service was at this restaurant. The staff was amazing with the customer service. Host gave an update on people on the wait list when their table is ready and the customer service on ordering and refilling beverages was on point. Superb! Worthy of checking out, be it by take out or dine-in. read more
