    Salmon Oshi
    Katie H.

    3 *and a half* review with input from my co-foodie (fiancé) First off, their salmon Oshi is really yummy!! I was happy with the amount of fish they put per oshi, as well as their generosity on the sauce on top. Highly recommend trying this dish. My fiancé had the sashimi dinner combo. He said he would give Aka "maybe three or four" stars based off of his meal. I quite liked his salmon roll, but he said it was not different from most restaurants. The karaage was paired with a mustard-y, wasabi-y? type of sauce which was different. He did make a funny comment that the gomae didn't have enough sauce, but I thought it was fine. *shrugs* All in all, service was very prompt and it appears this place is a very popular spot for skip the dishes. The food was good. Parking is ample. I would come back to try other oshis for sure.

    Deep Fried Ice Cream, soo good!!

    First time in this neighbourhood sushi restaurant. Everything was yummy. They have the best Salmon Kama. Their Veggie Udon was yummy and huge. Their assorted Tempura was so crunchy too plus they gave us free Deep Fried Ice Cream which was awesome too. Restrictions in place too. We will surely be back :)

    Presentation of their Oshi Sushi. Amazing!!!!!

    What a pleasant surprise. I'm always on the lookout for new sushi places to try. I can say that this place is a place that I will definitely return to. It is a smaller place, but don't let that dishearten you. If there is a wait for the food, it is so worth the wait. The décor is quite nice. Feels very welcoming and the staff is very polite. Enough natural light in the restaurant to make you feel very comfortable. The music that was playing kept the vibe in the I tried the Hot Night roll and the 911 roll and of course I had to have Tako-Yaki. The Hot Night roll with the spicy tuna on top was amazing. Everything tasted very fresh and packed full of flavor. The special rolls are very creative and I cant wait to try each and everyone of them. Instagram @handsome.and.hungry

    Borderline Langley. Another awesome K-run outfit with typical house sauces. Especially some sweet glaze on salmon oishi sushi & plenty of meat too as per pic. One of the top 2 for this category. Cali roll average but their Sun Burn super amazing with the deep fried onions, fresh tataki, and you guessed it, a garlicky sauce. Spacious resto, neighbourhood style. Usually do take out because with a busy schedule, thats how I roll.

    The best chicken karage in the city. Boneless, marinated in a cooking wine and seasonings. The batter is bubbly and crispy, a little bit sweet. Served with a honey mustard dip. The korroke was on the daily specials board so we tried it. You get three potato croquettes drizzled in mayo and bbq sauce. Delicious! This was my second time eating here. The sushi is fresh and made with care. Presentation is nice. There was a little green light underneath the daikon garnish. Special rolls are creative and tasty. If you love japanese food try this place. It's great.

    Finally Open!!! I was excited to see a great Sushi place opening near my house, So todays the day and I get to be the first to review, awesome. There is a little excitement here as with any new restaurant opening. The hosts are very gracious and I witnessed friends and family dropping off flowers and wishing them success. I love the smooth jazz and other music playing in the back ground.on what seems like a nice sound system. I ordered the "favorites combo" and a 3 piece Tempura. I was very pleased they have a 3 piece Tempura as it is the perfect and affordable addition to a lunch. I was surprised when the order for the sushi came and it looked more like the Spicy roll combo, but hey, when in Rome, so I tried it and it was delicious, but not what I ordered. So I called the waitress over and realizing g her boo boo, replaced it with the right one amid a fleury of apologies. She even boxed up the Spicy roll combo to go no charge... wow! OK, So back to the order... wow for a lunch combo this has huge portions. And I am blown away by how fresh and we'll executed it is. The tempura in the yam and dynamite roll is amazing, this guy knows his stuff! All the tools were well packed and tight and did not fall apart when picked up, even though they were large. The rice is delicate and tasty, absolutely perfect! There was a beautifully done garnish on the side of wasabi, ginger, lemon, radish and beet plus it was all carefully placed on a coconut leaf on the plate, very nice indeed. The tempura I ordered was the best I have ever had! I don't know why but that yam square patty was so full of flavour I couldn't put it down. Over all I love what they have done with this ex monks coffee shop. I also think it fits the neighbourhood very well and I hope they are well received by everyone around here because I want to come back and check out all the amazing specialty rolls and other goodies on the menu. I know my wife is going to love the salads I saw passing me on the way to other tables and also the Udon! Can't wait to come back!!!

    a bento box of food

    The price ranges are reasonable for their delicious quantity/quality food that they offer :) When I glanced at my bento and took a bite, i knew from the beginning ill be coming back here with some friends! definitely recommend!!!

    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!
