TLDR: Great sushi restaurant that has a large variety of fish and sushi items. Would recommend getting a reservation ahead of time! Think of it as a more upscale Tom Sushi (same chef) Food: We had the Tuna Bomb to share which came with pieces of cripsy rice and tuna topping. The rice was light, crispy, and provided a nice compliment to the creamy spicy tuna. We also had the super kaisen don which came with a large variety of premium fish and a very large piece of anago (saltwater eel). All of the fish pieces were fresh, had great texture, and had unique tastes. Price: For the quality and portion I think it was a great value. The super kaisen don was $68 and the tuna bomb was $14 Service/Ambiance: The restaurant was very modern, chic, and lively. It was a busy sunday night but the service was friendly and very quick Note: Parking is pretty difficult, I would also recommend getting a reservation in advance!
Solid place for Korean-style Japanese food, Tom Sushi-esque. Came in for two at seven o'clock with no reservations and seated at the bar right away. They're on Open Table for resos btw. The place was packed on a Saturday night. Ordered: Assorted tempura, spicy tuna roll, Alaska roll and a special vegetable roll. Pros: - attentive service and food came out promptly - street parking is free on the residential streets north of broadway or right across from the hospital on oak street after six pm - vibes are cute and seating is spacious - solid food and well-priced
I really enjoyed my experience here. I ubered so I cannot say how parking is but currently the construction on the street makes it look like a mess. Once you enter it's nice though. I came here based on TikToks as I am not from Vancouver/Canada. The sushi was delicious. Everyone around us also looked really pleased with their meals. We weren't super hungry but ordered a couple of items. The meal is served with hot tea (unsweetened if that matters) which is nice for cold Vancouver. Maybe it was barley tea, but I can't be sure. We ordered the tuna tataki which was delicioussssss. The salad underneath was a little soaked in sauce/dressing but it was so good that I didn't mind. The fish was fresh and complimented well by the sauce and sesame seeds. I got the pressed salmon sushi. (Salmon jalapeno something). I also really like that. The shrimp inside could've been a tiny bit more crispy but other than that it was perfect. I would've ordered it twice if I was hungrier. My boyfriend go the volcano roll. He said it was ok but the cream cheese overwhelmed the fish flavor. I tasted the roll and liked the cream cheese addition. The fish was fresh and the sauce was good. It is a saucy roll though. Be warned if you don't like cream cheese or sauce heavy rolls. We finished with the chopped scallop roll. It might have been my favorite thing. Also it was only $7 for 8 pieces. It was delicious. Still saucy but I loved it. I would have 3 of them LOL. We were celebrating our anniversary so they brought us vanilla ice cream with matcha powder on top and a candle. It was really nice and delicious (especially for such a simple combination). The service was also great. The servers were attentive and also very nice.
Everything was delicious and fresh. Excellent and quick service. There are a few spots of complimentary parking downstairs. There is only one spot for large groups. We celebrated a birthday and received a scoop of ice cream, candle on top and a birthday song sung by our waiter.
Tozen Sushi Bar was a place I'd been recommended several times and it did not disappoint! It was definitely very busy on a Friday night so I was glad I booked ahead. The ambiance was lively and I enjoyed the lighting in the restaurant. I did find it a little bit hard to flag someone down to order since it was quite loud. My friend and I shared the mentaiko udon, a few types of sashimi and we each tried a cocktail. The mentaiko udon was flavourful and rich, and the mushrooms really tied it together (this is definitely on the better end of mentaiko udons I've tried!) The sashimi quality was also great and I particularly enjoyed the tuna While the matcha sour was definitely up my alley in terms of presentation, I found it a bit strong on the vodka taste and prefer something a bit sweeter. Overall, I really enjoyed my time here and would probably come back if looking for a vibey Japanese spot I felt that the quality of everything I tried did match its pricepoint
Just some updates for Tozen Sushi Bar on 967 West Broadway Vancouver Food:(5/5) No doubt Service :(4/5)
If I could I would give this place a 3.5 based on the food and service I received. The decor is very chic and cool but still comfortable. We got some nigiris and the salmon jalapeno oshi. The best thing was the salmon jalapeno sushi. The nigiri is not where Tozen shines. The fish didn't taste the best. The best part was the fried shrimp head which isn't surprising considering they are known for their fried foods. Overall service was super nice and professional. Based on the nigiri, I didn't love it. But based on the oshi sushi only it was good. If you visit, only get their special rolls and oshis
Fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced given the quality. I've been to Tozen many times and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend making reservations as the restaurant can be very busy during dinner time!
Amazing sushi restaurant which is now one of my favorites. We couldn't get a reservation but they had space for walk in. We were celebrating a birthday so we ordered the house warm sake with gomae to start then ordered the Salmon jalapeño Aburi hako which is pressed salmon oishi w/ fried prawn inside, it was delicious. I had ordered it once before as take away but it tasted better at the restaurant. We also ordered red dainamaito fried prawn, avocado, cucumber w/ soy paper and spicy tuna on top..Also delicious as love rolls with soy paper. Then we ordered Hojicha Opera Cake for dessert which had black sesame, need I say more? A fabulous meal as definitely plan to go back frequently to try more items from their menu, the restaurant is very pretty also. Don't let the construction on West Broadway deter you as it's worth checking this out, it's a very popular restaurant as was packed on a weeknight.
Just had the most amazing early birthday dinner at Tozen Sushi Bar! The modern decor created a beautiful experience. The food? Absolutely outstanding! We indulged in: Ruby Spritz Mocktail (refreshing!) Warm & comforting Miso Soup Fresh Gomae Crispy Chicken Karaage Light & airy Prawn Tempura Explosive Tuna Bomb Delicious Maki Rolls (Salmon, Tuna, Tamago, Avocado) Flavorful Beef Yakiudon Sweet & savory Chicken Teriyaki with a bowl of rice Every dish was a delight! Highly recommend Tozen for any occasion. The staff is so attentive, I noticed every detail is thoughtful and mindful. Can't wait to go back!
Tozen Sushi Bar is a casual yet pretty fancy looking sushi restaurant in Fairview. Had a casual catch up with friends during weekdays and place was decently full. Tldr; it's a pretty nice place for good quality sushi that's still relatively affordable, with good options for both traditional and more fusion take on sushi. Beef Yaki Udon ($16) 5/10 A pretty standard soy based with beef, mushrooms, and onion. I did note that give pretty nice amount of topping but nothing memorable taste-wise. Negi Kanpa Hama ($24) 6.5/10 Negi hamachi and kanpachi, kani stick, avocado, and cucumber. Very light, bright taste. Good quality of fishes but for hamachi I think I like them better in nigiri. The Volcano ($23) 7/10 Spicy tuna, cream cheese, cucumber, and extra spicy tuna on the top. An unexpected favourite given how I don't usually enjoy cream cheese in my sushi, however they surprisingly added enough hot sauce to for the roll to feel 'spicy'.
Beautiful presented and delicious Japanese food which been made by skilled cooks , u can see them preparing orders at the bar area . The restaurant have modern design with comfortable seating . Also can recommend their hamachi crudo , it's melting in the mouth . Stuff is polite and well mannered . Keep coming by for lunch when in the area and recommending :)
I definitely owe them a good review because the hostess came through with a last minute reservation at prime dinner time on a weekend for us! Favor aside, the food, service, and atmosphere were incredible. It was (a good type of) loud, energetic, and busy restaurant. We order a variety of small plates, sushi, and drinks. We also loved the cute, cozy booth seating for our party of 5. Do make a reservation!! read more

Everything we ordered felt thoughtfully prepared, from the presentation to the balance of flavors. The sushi was fresh and clean tasting, with well seasoned rice that did not overpower the fish. The aburi pieces were a highlight for me. Lightly torched, creamy, and just the right amount of richness, especially with a bit of heat from the jalapeño. The rolls were also well done, fresh fish, good texture, and nicely balanced without being overly heavy. We also tried a few hot dishes and sides, which added variety to the meal and paired really well with the sushi. The cocktails were smooth and refreshing, a nice complement to the food. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed, making it easy to enjoy a longer meal without feeling rushed. Overall, Tozen is a great spot for quality sushi, good drinks, and a laid back dining experience read more
This surprisingly became one of my favourite sushi/Japanese restaurants in Vancouver. The atmosphere and decor was perfect for having an intimate dinner with friends and a great place to bring new visitors to Vancouver. We got the aburi sushi, tuna bomb, salmon dream, tuna tataki, karange, and a few more. Our favourite was definitely the aburi and tuna bomb. Aburi was perfectly prepared and loved the variety with tempura shrimp inside. The tuna bomb was a great mix of texture with the crispy rice and savoury tuna. Service was a bit slow although it was a packed restaurant the night we went, but everyone was kind and welcoming. Only thing I would say is that they only had one dessert option so we opted for dessert elsewhere. read more

Premier Japanese restaurant on W Broadway... Every dish is done so delicately. Sashimi is so fresh too. This place spells quality. Interior feels luxurious with modern wooden slats. It's spacious with lots of seating. Service is great. Our server explains each dish as it is served. I highly recommend this place. read more
I came to Tozen Sushi with a friend on a weekday night. We didn't make reservations but there was a decent amount of seating available although we did come on the earlier side. We got an okonomoyaki as an appetizer to share and then I got the Salmon Dream roll. I thought the okonomoyaki was okay but could have been a bit more crispy. I was disappointed in my Salmon Dream roll as I felt the avocado was a bit underriped and a bit hard and the imitation crab was only okay. Overall, a nice place to gather but thought the food was only okay. read more
Food quality is really good but keep in mind that price does reflect the quality! I really like the seating arrangement. The service was okay, but I feel as if I went in when they were short staffed. Keep in mind parking can be really difficult in this area due to construction! read more
Nirigi was fresh and well executed. No complaints there! The crispy rice/tuna bomb didn't stay crispy long, such was too bad because the tuna was well seasoned and yummy. The beef yukke was a bit one dimensional. Just tasted like sesame. Attention service in brightly lit space. I really appreciated having the large booth!! read more
Tozen Sushi Bar was our first meal in Vancouver and it didn't disappoint. We ordered their beef yukke, the sashimi sushi combo, salmon avocado aburi hako, midori yam, and tuna bomb... and it was fantastic! We enjoyed each of their dishes, but I'd have to say that the midori yam was the highlight. We weren't sure what to expect but the yam and guac are a perfect combination that pairs incredibly well with each other. Highly recommend! Our server was phenomenal and helped us put our dinner together, along with provide vital insight on their sake to pair with our dinner options. So appreciative! The restaurant itself is gorgeous and not too noisy to enjoy with a group. read more
I was thrilled to check out this new space. it's a total vibe! The interior is beautiful and feels really luxe. I enjoyed a delicious non alcoholic drink, the sunset soda. very yummy! I then ordered the tuna bomb, chicken karage and my friend ordered the salmon oshi with prawns. Everything was delicious, fresh and high quality!! the food itself is worth the hype!! The service was decent and friendly, but we were told we had the table until 7:30. at 7:10 we had paid our bill and were catching up and finishing our teas. The waitress comes up and says "hi, um the next party is here for this table." It was not a nice feeling and i felt really rushed. Not a fan of that kind of experience so that's why i've removed a star. read more
Booked Table For 2 for Sunday Aug 25 6:30pm. Fairly full but not packed. Came here because I read the reviews about how amazing or awesome the food were. Here is what I ordered, for myself: - Miso Soup $3 - 1× order of Atlantic Salmon $12 (4pcs) - Assorted Sushi Combo $29.75 (14pcs) - Salmon Jalapeno Aburi Hako $15 (6pcs) After tax and tip came up to $69. I *WOULD NOT* recommend this restaurant despite how full it was. I don't think sushi should be *THIS* expensive. Yes I can afford every item in the menu in one sitting but price-wise the food didn't match up to its cost. I ordered what I felt could be a decent price-to-bellyfullness ratio for sushi goodeness and I felt not that full. My friend ordered a Cold Udon which was a big bowl of upon with 2pcs of tempura. It looked better and seemed way more fulling than the 4 items of the menu i ordered combined! The "high quality" food was there but the quality could also be seen as STANDARD FAIR sushi and I'd agree either way. Honestly, there wasn't anything I had that blew me away. (Maybe I should have tried their Tozen Special Sashimi for $99 and maybe it would change my mind but that's for another rainy day.) Service-wise, the staff were professional. I did notice there were lots of Korean waitresses for a Japanese sushi restaurant, however they were nice, smiled, refreshed our tea often, so I tipped a proper amount for them. Ambiance is great..nothing to note. Overall, it's a Not Recommended to a Maybe for me. My issue is how am I spending +$50-60 on dinner and still not feel full? Definitely a problem no matter how you look at it. read more

I saw Tozen on social media and was recommended it by a few friends who lived in Vancouver. Safe to say that the hype behind this place was real. The interior is modern and well-lit with a comfortable ambiance. When we arrived on a weekday it was packed so reservations are definitely recommended. For our dishes, we ordered a variety of cooked and raw dishes, but I will say the star of this restaurant is their nigiri, rolls, and sashimi. My personal favorites were the saba roll, uni, and Negitoro roll. Service was attentive and our waitress brought out an ice cream for a birthday celebration. Overall I will be back the next time I'm in Vancouver. read more
Tried out Tozen Sushi Bar, sister restaurant to Tom Sushi. They're next door to Chef's Choice Chinese Cuisine. We dropped in on a Sunday for lunch (12:45pm reservations). The interior is modern and we were seated at one of the booths. Service was efficient, green tea and waters refilled. - Mushroom chawanmushi ($7.00) - excellent. - Ika maruyaki ($12.00) - Negitoro maki ($6.00) - a touch too much rice. These were better at Tom's Sushi. - Saba bou ($16.00) - not bad but didn't love it torched. Think I'm a plain mackerel type. - Assorted sushi combo ($29.75) - 8 nigiri with 1/2 salmon and 1/2 tuna maki. Quality was good. Best pieces were the chopped scallop and tamago. - Hire katsu ($22.00) - includes one additional refill of cabbage and rice. Lightly fried and tender. TSB's another solid sushi spot in town. read more

The sushi and sashimi combo is decent: very fresh sashimi, the portion of rice and fish on sushi is just right. Only that I forgot to take a pic! Love beef roll the best. Rice balances well with the fat. Dynamite roll is ok, a bit loose to my taste. read more
It's my first time visiting this place, and we came here for one of my friend's birthday. We were able to try many different kind of dishes since we had lots of people. The restaurant is on the busy street of west Broadway, but a little tugged away due to the construction. The dining area is spacious with some large booths and tables. It's been suitable for group gathering and parties. The menu has a lot of varieties, which can be a little too much to choose from. We ordered 7 dishes to share. My favorite one is the volcano roll, which has some deep fried lotus slices which contrast the freshness of the spicy tuna, all other rolls are also super fresh, and nicely portioned. The sashimi is very fresh and tasty, apparently this place is known for its fresh sashimi. The service was okay, we had to wait for a bit each time when we need to ask for something, but they were also pretty busy, so understandable. Tea and water are often offered and refilled. Overall, I would recommend this place is you enjoy Japanese sushi cusine, read more

An incredible first dinner for our Vancouver trip. Tozen is a beautiful more-upscale Japanese restaurant serving some quality dishes! Service was also A+. The atmosphere is quite vibey - perfect for a special dinner, but also for any other occasion when craving sushi. Pan seared Hotate - a delicious scallop appetizer dish. The green sauce was so good that my friend wanted to keep the sauce to complement our other dishes later. Scallops were plump! Negi Kanpa Hama roll - stole the show with its appetizing presentation and amazing bite to back up its looks! So much fish in one bite. Bluefin nigiri set - yummy as you would expect. Every bite hit the spot. Premium nigiri set - every piece was delicious and quite good value for all of those plump pieces. Highly recommend for anyone craving high quality sushi but not wanting to go all out with an omakase! read more
With my godmother in town, I decided to finally give Tozen, Tom Sushi's more upscale sister restaurant a try. Parking was easy with free underground stalls and an elevator depositing you directly at street level. The space is warm and inviting but not overly pretentious, perfect for a date night or to start a night out at. Between my partner, godmother and I, we ordered the following to share: -Tozen Signature Salad ($22) -Ika Maruyaki ($12) -Tozen Special Sashimi ($99) -Assorted Sushi Combo ($29.75) -Negi Kanpa Hama Roll ($24) -Mentaiko Yakiudon ($16). Highlights of our meal were the nigiri and sashimi offerings - everything is very fresh and beautifully presented. The price point was honestly not too bad, considering how much more comfortable the ambiance is compared to Tom. I do think the Special Sashimi is a touch steep at $99, but you do get a nice assortment of fish, including bluefin and a melt-in-your-mouth aburi yellowtail toro. The Ika Maruyaki was super tender and perfectly cooked. No rubber band bites here, and a good value at $12! We also really enjoyed the Mentaiko Yakiudon as it was a sufficient portion size and well-coated with lots of creamy mentaiko sauce. Despite its appearance, the Negi Kanpa Hama roll is a pass for me personally. It's essentially a california roll with the addition of negi kanpachi and hamachi on top - not worth $24 imo. I'd also appreciate if they added a sashimi salad to the menu. The Tozen Signature isn't bad, but I feel like a sashimi salad is a mainstay on most mid to high end sushi joints here, and highlights seafood quality better than a grilled option. Service was very attentive, with everyone topping up our tea constantly (I'm talking like after every few sips). I'd definitely recommend Tozen as a sushi destination in Vancouver if you're looking for a variety of well-executed a-la-carte offerings without breaking the bank. read more

The service was informative, friendly and efficient. I forgot that is was Korean owned. It was excellent even though it is no Japanese owned. The decore is modern with lots of wood which is great for absorbing sound. Therefore it is not loud. The fish was super fresh and delicious and beautifully presented. The amaebi was sweet but the head was cold. Normally the Japanese serve it after when it is still hot. It doesn't open for lunch until 12 noon, which is weird. Also my first cup of tea was almost cold. All in all, worth it. read more
Ambiance and Decor: Brand new, very modern, dark interior but with great lighting. Try to get the banquet seating - theres a lot more room Service Quality: The staff were very attentive, always coming by and asking us if we needed anything else or more drinks Menu Variety: This is a great place to come as they have a wide range of Japanese food on their menu. If someone doesn't like sushi there are plenty of other options such as the udon or katsu, etc. Food Presentation: Loved the plates and dishes they used. Simple presentation. Food Taste and Quality: Our chicken karaage was a bit light on the fryer side - we saw another order of karaage on the table beside us and it looked crispier. The food came out quick which was a surprise - it even came out before our cocktails. We ordered a couple rolls, karaage, okonomiyaki, katsu, an udon dish, the salmon entree and some other items. Portion Sizes: The portion sizes are pretty normal for a Japanese restaurant - not too big or too small. Drink Selection: I had ordered the Lychee cocktail - it was way too sweet for me, but I was still able to taste the alcohol so that was a plus. Price and Value: Great pricing and value overall. It wasn't super cheap and not super expensive, just the right price in relation to the service and atmosphere of the restaurant. Overall Experience and Recommendation: 4.2/5. I would come back and definitely try more of the menu. I would just skip on the cocktails for now. read more
We visited this spot to celebrate with a loved one and were treated to some fantastic dishes! We made reservations ahead of time, and it is recommended since they were quite busy even on a weeknight. The space is contemporary, and it felt very zen and calming. It is decorated and renovated quite nicely. The staff were friendly and helpful as well. Everything was really tasty actually and we enjoyed most things we ordered. These dishes were some of the highlights: Hamachi crudo ($29), Beef yukke ($23), Uni sashimi ($20 for 4 pieces), Hotate nigiri ($3.50 for 1), Foie gras nigiri ($7), Anago nigiri ($9), Tuna bomb with crispy rice ($14), Negi Kanpa Hama ($24), and the Saba Bou ($16)! Everything tasted really fresh and it was just delicious. It is definitely on the pricier side but it is wonderful for a special occasion. Would love to return! read more
We recently tried Tozen Sushi Bar, the newest Japanese spot in town. Offering a Korean-style twist on Japanese cuisine, it's the sister restaurant of Tom Sushi in Downtown Vancouver. The menu is extensive, and our orders arrived promptly, piping hot and fresh! The presentation of each dish was a feast for the eyes, showcasing a modern and elegant interior design that elevated our dining experience to a satisfactory level. The service was impeccable, adding to the overall positive impression. We savoured over 15 dishes, with standout favourites including a few that stood out as must-tries: * Yuzu Vinaigrette Marinated Hamachi * Beef Tataki Roll * Assorted Sushi Combo * Miyazaki A5 Wagyu Nigiri * Anago Nigiri * Signature Roll - Tuna Bomb * Bluefin Sashimi Trio While the experience was generally positive, there is still room for improvement. Nevertheless, Tozen Sushi Bar is definitely worth a visit for its delicious food, elegant ambiance, and attentive service. Food: 4/5 Should Try! Service: 5/5 Kids: 3/5 A-OK for kids! (Should inform the server of any allergies for the safe dining experience.) Price: $100-$150 per person ( dinner - friend's birthday party) Presentation: 4/5 Parking: 1/5 Limited free underground parking is available. Tips: * Accessibility is hindered by nearby construction, making the location challenging to find and access. * Perfect venue for group gatherings, parties, and romantic dates. * A cake-cutting fee per person applies if bringing a celebration cake. Would I Return: Yes read more

Having been to Tom Sushi, I had high hopes for this restaurant. It definitely feels like a higher end restaurant with the decor. The menu is interesting in that it ranges from affordable sushi to more expensive unique dishes. We wanted to try dishes different from what we've had from Tom sushi. Chawanmushi- with dungeoness crab and ikura. It was served nicely and well seasoned. I wish there was actually something inside the chawanmushi rather than it just being topped with crab and ikura. It was still delicious regardless. Pan seared hotate- I didn't feel like the oil could be soaked up by the scallop, so it was hard to eat it all together. Also I wish the hotate was seared a bit more on the outside. Saba shiso roll- simple and delicious. Good ratio of fish to rice. Negi kanpa hama roll- this combined some of my favourite fish. However I was disappointed that the fish on top was seasoned in some kind of sesame oil (?). I wish it was just lightly coated in soy so that the taste of fish could come through. Yukke rice bowl- definitely a dish that was Korean inspired. This was just okay for us. We wanted to try something we hadn't before. But the flavour was too heavily sesame oil tasting. Overall, we decided to try dishes we hadn't before. But I think I would rather stick to their regular sushi rolls. read more
