Kami Sushi at Strawberry Hill - A Revisit Worth Repeating!…read more Sushi always hits the spot in summertime--especially when it's hot and sunny outside. There's something soothing about stepping into a Japanese restaurant: the serene, minimalistic decor and Zen-like ambiance offer a calming escape from the chaos of urban life. We returned to Kami Sushi once again, and just like in our past visits, the food and presentation were excellent. (Check out the photos below!) The quality remains top-notch, though I did notice a slight price bump--about 3%--which seems fair given the current inflation. Let's be honest, everything in Vancouver has felt more expensive lately--especially post-election. We don't dine out often--maybe once every couple of weeks--as a treat and to give my spouse a well-deserved break from cooking and doing the dishes. Neither of us drinks, so no sake for us--especially since I'm the designated driver. And honestly, at my age, one beer might have me dancing on the table like a butterball turkey. A quick update: Kami Sushi used to be closed on Tuesdays, but it's now open seven days a week. If you're in the Strawberry Hill Mall area in Surrey, this spot is definitely worth a visit. After all these years, it still doesn't disappoint.

Not only they give you a very generous chasu but it is packed with so many ingredients like soft boiled egg, corn, vegetables, and seaweed. Unlike Akedo who always runs out of broth and recently noodles, Ramen Bella is very reliable when you are craving for Ramen. In the past 10 calls I made to Akedo, I was only successful 3 times, that is 30% only that they will not run out of broth or noodles. Plus who serves their Ramen with chicken?! So I am switching to Ramen Bella.

It has fish egg, and combo Tonkatsu and fish broth, which I really like. It's rich but not heavy. Comes with an egg which is fine, not runny. Noodles are fine, slightly chewy. The Karaage is crispy but not overdone. Slightly heavy in the batter. I would say on the slightly small side but it was still filling. They also have lots of sushi on the menu and donburi as well. I had a salmon toro nigiri on the side. The salmon was a good sized, generous serving and pretty good. Would recommend this if you're in the neighborhood.

This Korean run restaurant menu is clear and easy to read. I went for the black garlic noodles and added karaage. I kind of wish the karaage came on the side because the soup really made the part that was touching quite soggy and I ordered karaage for the crunch. Overall portion size was good, flavour was decent, and I enjoyed my meal.

Their best dishes are the agedashi tofu (sauce on the side for the picky kid), I like the tonkatsu ramen with no green onions. My partner has started enjoying the agedashi tofu don. It's a cozy place with roughly 40ish seating. The staff is very fast but some customers may be oblivious to those waiting and takes a while to get a seat if you're a party of 3 or more. Summer is good that they have a/c available and not many people go.

That said, it's located within the bowling alley but you'd never know it during dining. We ordered the veggie ramen with an added egg, and the Shoyu ramen (without seaweed or onions). Food came out very quickly. Veggie ramen was quite delicious but not over the top flavourful, nothing a little chili paste couldn't fix. Shoyu ramen had a very woody broth. Noodles were cooked well had significantly less noodles than the veggie ramen. Pork was a tad bland. Overall very good! Cost was very affordable, $36 including tip for two made this a great dine out experience! Will definitely come back.

The place looks spacious on the outside as it shares the building and is adjacent joining to the Browns Social House. But once inside you realize it's pretty small with only 6 dine in tables and more suitable as a takeout joint. We wanted to keep it simple and ordered a Sashimi Box and a Karaage Don. The Karaage Don's chicken didn't taste like it had really any solid chicken pieces in it and just comprised of mushed up pieces of chicken parts. Furthermore, it was paired up with a honey mustard sauce on the side which was odd and did not compliment the dish well, definitely had better. The Sashimi Box's contents were pretty big portions, but the Tuna Sashimi was not thawed properly before being served and it had a really strong fishy smell to it. At $26.95, it's overpriced by around $4.00 compared to it's competitors around town in addition to the subpar quality was a real downer. Plenty of free parking with 4 stalls right in front of the restaurant and throughout the strip mall.
