a plate of food with chopsticks and rice
Zolstar Z.

I ordered the beef teriyaki full order Beef was a bit smaller Than at damiko sushi up the road i ate last week ... and there was way to much vegetables not enough beef as i said Its almost double what they gave me at damiko for same price They did nothing .... Then after biting into the beef it tasted like they cooked the beef in a fish pot The beef had a fishy taste so i picked the beef out and ate the noodles payed and left not going back Go to damiko langley the beef taste good there ...

Seafood Noodle bowl

Doesn't look like much when you walk past but once you sit down n take a look at the menu, your hunger will kick in. For me it was quite refreshing as i was about to have sushi after long time. My bento box was so good. The sushi in the box had the softness n freshness. Chicken was tender too. I stole tempura from my friends plate n it was good. To my surprise there was plenty on menu to pick from. Our server was good too. She did give us her intake on drinks but we sticked with water. No fancy drinks for us. But u can get everything from wine to sake. Miso soup can never go wrong unless u dont like too much salt.( thats how it tastes)

Beef Udon
Marnie E.

First time here and it didn't disappoint. My hubby and I had a quick lunch and we enjoyed having the Beef Udon, Salmon Salad, Dynamite Roll and Edamame. Service was great too and price definitely affordable. We will be back soon.

Gomae

I was working in the neighbourhood and the closest food complex had a Save on, Starbucks, Freshi, BP and Timmie's....so slim pickins' for lunch. Before I left, I spotted Umami Sushi so I gave it a try and I was pleasantly surprised! They note on the menu they only use wild Sockey salmon and what a relief. Most sushi places serve the farmed salmon (so bad for us and environment). I had the volcano roll and gomae - both are very good. I recommend you try it!

Unagi Flower Sushi

If you like eel in a Japanese restaurant, don't hesitate to try the Unagi Flower Sushi!

Veggie yakisoba $8.50
Ally S.

More like 2.5/5. Pretty average. Decent prices. Service was meh. Got the veggie yakisoba ($8.50) It was good in the sense that it came out sizzling on the plate. It had a good amount of sauce. Just nothing that made it better than good.

Toro sashimi and choppee scallop.
Alena Y.

I got the Gomae, miso soup, half order of Toro sashimi, and 1 piece chopped scallop. Let's explain this one by one. Toro sashimi and chopped scallop: Great! No complaints. Miso soup: way too salty Gomae: the spinach was way over cooked or something, I was unable to chew it. Service: Horrible! They didn't even check on me once to ask how everything was tasting. Then, when I went to go pay for my bill I told them about the Gomae, and how I couldn't chew it. I only had about 3 bites. They didn't take any actions to better the situation. Still charged me the full thing of Gomae. Pretty disappointing. The only saving grace for this restaurant was the Toro sashimi and chopped scallop. Just one of those places where I'll try it once but would never come back.

Lunch combo b, needed more rice, more gyoza, and less teriyaki!
Annie F.

Overall it's not a bad place to stop by for a quick bite. We were served by a lovely korean lady, and the food arrived quickly. Generally I found their food to be too salty (miso soup, teriyaki, salad). Their sushi and tempura was good though. Generally because I live in ontario and only fly to vancouver occasionally, I wouldn't come here again.

Had the tempura udon and the volcano roll. The volcano world was so vibrant and color! Also very tasty and not skimpy at all. Tempura was cooked to perfection and the udon was nice and light but still flavorful. The service was great up until it was their lunch time. All the waitresses and chefs sat at a table and we had to get their attention to checkout. Not that big of a deal for us, but it might be to someone who is a stickler for service.

Phoenix roll
Michelle F.

Solid 4 stars! Went there for the first time last night and I'm glad we did. It's wonderful to have a great sushi place so close to home. My husband ordered the Phoenix roll and I the dinner box A. We shared both. The Phoenix roll was delish. My only complaint was it fell apart when you tried to pick it up. Maybe it needed to be wrapped a bit tighter??? Also my chicken teriyaki was a tad greasy tasting but other than that we both loved the food and the staff were super friendly and made you feel very welcome. Can't wait to go back!

Spider Roll
Joe M.

Spider Roll has a matching web presentation! Tasty but lacking the crunchy softshell crab and fish roe toppings that you normally get from other sushi houses. Loved the separate Softshell Crab order. Takoyaki was a hit! We ordered a second Red Dragon Roll, but the 2nd one was different from the 1st one, though each was really good. So, which one was the real Red Dragon Roll?

Teriyaki beef roll
Michelle G.

This is the only sushi place my husband and I frequent because of the superb quality and taste! Even child friendly and brought out a high chair for my 8 month old! We had the teriyaki beef roll and Washington roll! Both delicious!

Lion dance roll on special!!

It is one of the hardest restaurant to make a reservation. Luckily, I got a reservation 7-8months…read moreago. Menu: Chawan mushi - steamed egg custard with vegetable(bean, shimeji mushroom) and seafood(shrimp and slice of fish) Ankimo - Monkfish Liver with seasonal seafood(scallop and shrimp) Grilled black cod, with saikyo miso and marinated blue fin tuna and cooked egg. Tenpura - seafood (slice of fish, seafood stuffed vegetable and vegetable(shiitake) 9 pieces of sushi Daily miso soup - clam Dessert - kinako and mitarashi dango Chawan mushi was great. I can taste fish based broth and egg custard was very silky and smooth. Decent amount of ingredients sush as shrimp, slice of fish , bean and shimeji mushroom. I wish they served it slightly cooler than too hot. Ankimo - Great item. Monkfish liver was rich and paired with scallop and shrimp so well. Sauce was just ok. Grilled black cod was another great item. Crispy and juicy, just perfectly done. Blue fine tuna was covered by salty marinated sauce which was great when wrapped with seaweed. Cooked egg was just ok Tenpura - Seafood stuffed vegetable was my favorite. Others were also decent. Highlight and stand out item was 9 pieces of sushi. Honmaguro(bluefine tuna) was good. Shari(sushi rice) was nicely seasoned with vinegar, very mild and which I liked it. Tuna was delicious. Sea breem(MADAI) was another good piece. Delicious. Aburi Toro was nicely seared. I wish this item could be a bit more softer and buttery, but it was still good. Akaebi(red shrimp) and Hokkaido sea urchin - Lightly torched the top of sea urchin and its smokiness brought out more sweetness flavor of Akaebi(red shrimp) Hokkaido Scallop - Very smooth, soft and nice texture. Delicious. Kinmedai(Gold eye snapper) -- My favorite. Texture was very soft and chewy, It was great item. Hokkaido sea urchin - Actually, this one was just ok. I wish it could be more creamy. Unagi - One of the best item. It was so fluffy and soft right after chef cooked and served. This is a must try item. Daily miso soup with clam - I can taste fish broth (dashi) flavor so well. Clam was delicious. It was good. Dessert - Kinako coated mitarashi dango -It was nicely chewy and soft. I wish there were more sauce on it. Overall, it worth visiting this place. The only problem is that so hard to get a reservation. Hopefully, I can get next reservation, may be next year.

Small, authentic spot offering delicious and fresh omakase. Make sure you book early though as they…read morehave a long wait. We love Japanese cuisine so I decided to surprise the hubby with an omakase for his birthday in January. Unfortunately, they have a 6-month wait and I was not prepared so I ended up booking it for our anniversary in May. The food was phenomenal and delicious! I love the chawanmushi loaded with goodies inside. The ankimo (monkfish liver) dish was so tasty with the scallop and prawn. Black cod was cooked to perfection! The nigiris are all so fresh. We quickly put ourselves on the waiting list for after September so we can come here again soon! There's a parking lot just next door. The place inside is small and intimate. Service is great!

Amazing quality Sushi. The quality is excellent and so fresh. I love the decor and friendly staff…read more They always do the little extras to make the experience special every time we go. My daughter and I LOVE the Canuck roll. Their sashimi is one of the freshest I've ever had! They had some new desserts on the menu and my daughter wanted to try one but they had already sold out. Next time.

I came by here for lunch recently with a friend. She had mentioned she wanted to check it out here…read moreand I'm always game for Japanese. They have their regular menu and a lunch specials menu to choose from. I went with a Katsu Don off their specials menu and also grabbed a BC roll. I've had many BC rolls before but this one might have been the best. The rolls themselves were larger than I expected. They also really gave a lot of salmon skin with each piece. Very tasty and filling overall. The Katsu Don was a lot bigger than I expected as well. It was a big bowl of rice along with some vermicelli as well. I have no complaints about it at all. The katsu was well done. It wasn't dry and it was quite tasty with the seasonings added. I was very happy to be introduced to this restaurant. There weren't a ton of other folks at the time and I appreciated the good service we got during our stay. The food portions being huge are a big incentive for me along with the tasty food to come back here again.
