What stood out and overshadowed the sushi, which was actually quite good, were the dirty sticky tables. The hygiene was in such a state that I didn't want to place my phone on the table. The place itself has been around for years. Update needed and serious hygiene practices a must. So, unfortunately even though we liked the sushi and the service was friendly enough, the environment will not have us returning. read more

Man, the best thing I can say is we didn't get sick. Interior is run down but cute in a family joint kinda way. Smells clean. We were seated quickly. Started with the Japanese Fish and Chips which were absolutely bizarre. It comes with enough underseasoned yam tempura fries for 6 people and some bland tempura tuna. Regular tartar sauce on the side. Nothing special but alright. The tuna sashimi came completely frozen on the inside. Rock solid. Asked for ponzu and was given oily, greasy sesame salad dressing. That was on the tuna tataki which was bizarre. At least the tataki tuna salad wasn't frozen. My scallop and tobiko nigiri was again, frozen. Each scallop was rock hard and not defrosted. Their "house miso soup" is obviously the regular packet. Weird let down, why hype it up if it's nothing special? This place just doesn't really know what it's doing. Would never return. read more

Really friendly service and the food is always great! They've got a nice variety of combos and their prices are very reasonable. read more

Capilano Sushi - A new roll I haven't seen on the menu before, basically an Aburi style box sushi w/crunchy tempura bits. Really good! - Sushi Bars Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

Glad to see that my favourite sushi place on the Shore has opened up again. Every time I came here it was for their lunch combo special of $9.50 where you have a choice of almost 30 mix and match items such as agedashi tofu, veggie teriyaki, shrimp tempura roll, and gyoza. The mix and match combo also includes a bowl of miso soup. Without a doubt, it'll satisfy all types of palates. The combo offer is good until 5 pm. Service was prompt and friendly. There's free parking available and is just a few doors down from Save On Foods shopping plaza off Marine Drive and Pemberton Ave. Dining hours are 11:30 am - 8 pm from Monday to Thursday & on Saturdays; 11:30 am to 9 pm on Fridays; 4 pm to 8 pm on Sundays. It's my go-to sushi place whenever I am on the Shore. You'll get good value and service here! read more

I decided to venture across the street from my regular go-to, Sushi Town, to be disappointed. I ordered the spicy salmon sashimi and the negitoro roll to-go which I ended up eating right away. It took them over an hour to make my order, and the sashimi was served warm. The spicy sauce for the sashimi was spicy mayo, which didn't taste very good with the sashimi. Thankfully the negitoro was a bit better than the sashimi but only decent. I unfortunately don't think I'll be returning. read more

Capilano Sushi - a close up of a plate of sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

Used to come here back when I was much younger. Decided to come back today because I was coming around the corner here with my mom and man did it become bland.... :( This place looks okay and the food was definitely alright but you can definitely do MUCH better for the same price, if not, for better value. The one bone I have to pick with these guys is that they kept getting my mom's udon order wrong. My mom ordered the tempura udon. First it was the wrong order, they got her the chicken instead. When they fixed her order, all they did was that they took the chicken out (she still ended up finding a left over piece of chicken in her udon) and gave her the tempura. Sadly at that point, the udon soup was nearly cold or slightly hotter room temperature. I'm sorry but if you screwed up like this that often in a single sitting, stop trying to fix the problem by horribly scooping up the item (and ended up screwing that up too), and just cook them a NEW batch. I mean, they're not really gonna lose THAT much money by doing it this way anyways. While I don't mind coming back here later on but it'll have to be for a special reason. Trust me, you're better off going to sushi town beside the McDonald's across the street. read more

Love this place. I have tried sushi in so many restaurants on the North Shore but this is my "go -to". Capilano Sushi has friendly service, the sushi is so fresh, and the prices are good. read more

A friend suggested this place. They seem to do a lot of take out and I was just another take out customer to ad to their list. Hey that's not such a bad thing. I ordered the California roll because it's so popular everywhere and I often use it as a measure for rolled sushi because most places will roll it cheap and use too much rice. They do a pretty good job actually rolling sushi! Truthfully I was kinda impressed. I will have to try nigiri next time and see what else is available that tickles my fancy. So for now I'm doing three stars conservatively but it should be 4 read more

I've been coming to this restaurant off & on for many years. Their lunch special offers lots of choices which I appreciate and the food has always been good. Had the agedashi tofu today and it was superb...lightly coated and very crisp. Found the sauce a little sweeter than in the past. Today's experience was not the best I've had at this restaurant. We sat directly across from the sushi bar and, unfortunately, could not avoid listening to one of the chefs, John, who talked loudly the whole time we were there. It would be much more pleasant if he either lowered his voice or reduced the chatter. It spoiled my experience today. read more

We had one of the all day specials: a three roll combo. Excellent value and very tasty. Was $11 for a California roll, a tempura shrimp roll, and a dynamite roll, plus a miso soup. Would return. read more

This is one of my favourite comfort sushi places! It's family owned and operated, and has some of the most consistently reliable and yummy rolls. The best part of the restaurant, hand's down, is the sushi chef Jon who is such a happy presence behind the counter. Love to support small businesses and the warm, kind people who work hard there. read more

Decent. Service was friendly and relatively quick. Sushi and sashimi was ok. Small portions. This place was ok for a - I need a sushi fix - ands it's convenient. Wouldn't travel long distances for it. read more

The average Yelp rating here is totally misleading! So bland here! Maybe this part of Vancouver doesn't have good sushi, but this is a 2-3 star place. The price is cheap (all sushi pieces under $3) but you get what you pay for. Ordered a variety of sushi pieces, spicy salmon and negitoro rolls, one of their specialty rolls and tempura. The specialty roll was very small considering the price of $9. It was marginally bigger than the regular rolls. The main issue was the blandness of everything. The fish basically had no taste. The specialty roll with mango/crab would normally be one of my favorite combos, but they must have used the most unripe mangos around! It was very busy when I was around but honestly I would keep driving and go somewhere else. read more

Food is just okay. Service is slow and sub-par. Sat for 20 minutes after eating waiting for my waitress to bring the bill. Sushi is decent and a good price, but the yaki udon I was was really not even a 5/10. Disappointing at best. read more

Le GF and I went here on our first date years ago. Since then it's changed ownership at least once, but the food has gotten better in that time. I really like sitting at the counter to chat with head chef John who is super friendly, and a die-hard Canucks fan, so this is usually where I'll go to watch games during the season. read more

Liked the spicy tuna roll, it is awesome ! Don't like the yam roll, the fried yam makes up half size of the roll. It should call Fried yam roll. Customer service is nice when I went there. It was on a weekend, but didnt wait too long before someone came to serve us. read more

Good sushi but be prepared to wait to get it. Whether you are dining in or taking out, they are so understaffed that you will wait for at least 30-40 minutes in peak times. I figured this was a one time thing, but it has happened multiple times now, so I will not be going back. I recommend going to Sushi Town across the street. read more

Major rip off! 11$ spicy salmon sashimi. There is hardly any salmon. Will never come back. read more

On special occasions our entire office orders in from Cap Sushi. Sushi Party! You can find Joe, the proprietor behind the counter. Food is fresh and service is friendly. When it's just the boys , I take my 3 and 5 year old in for a Saturday or Sunday lunch and sit at the Sushi Bar. Love this place and the boys LOVE the Hotdog Sushi Roll!!! read more

Well! This place looks pretty classy, and has a "daily specials" board posted outside to lure you in. I think I had toro, and spicy salmon sashimi. The toro was horrible. I should NOT have eaten it, because it was warmish. The spicy salmon was good, but different. It was really orange looking, and mixed with tobiko and little chunks of avocado. The last reviewer was right. They misrepresent their prices. The menus all say one thing, then they charge you more. I paid the tab, then told them about it. They had some excuse like it was a different type of fish..... Boooooo that!! read more

So we order from there constantly and the quality is always amazing. But yesterday, the crab seemed a bit off in one of my rolls and decided to throw it away. I called and they refunded it without questioning it. Today, they delivered the same roll, fresh and delicious as an apology. It tasted great and they've just won a customer for life. read more

Do not go here unless you want to get cheap bad quality sushi, awful smaller than small portions, watered down miso soup, very little crab meat in your california roll and overall ripped off. the owners should be ashamed of themselves for having the nerve to even present food to people like this. please people do not support businesses that think they can pull a fast one on people and don't value their customers. the food is not like the photos at all. read more

Friendly staff, great food, smallish place. The chicken teriyaki was one of the best I've ever had, with a tiny bit of excellent crunch. NOTE: This place is listed as having a full bar. It does NOT, but I don't think it's fair to take a star off for that.. It has beer, sake, and good wine. read more

We had an amazing experience at Capilano sushi! We ordered the beef short rib and chicken karaage meal. The chef offered us complimentary tuna tataki! It was all so delicious! The service was excellent and the food was top notch. We will definitely be coming back! :) read more

Not bad for north van. they have a good lunch deal, you pay 7$ and you get to pick three items from a modest list. the price goes up for the rest of the menu. i got a mexican inspired roll, spicy tuna roll rapped in some avacado, chopped tomatos and tobiko. it was very good and the rest of the menu is fresh and good. read more

It was cold and wet so I popped into Capilano Sushi and ordered Salmon Teryaki. This comes with yam fries and eight California Rolls plus Miso soup and lots of tea! Large portions too, simply fantastic value for about $10.00. Service was fast, fantastic and friendly......thank you Aya and Maya. Only one more thing to add........ I will be back soon and thank you. read more

Have been very pleased with the consistent great sushi...love that Hot Kiss Roll...John the head sushi chef is always welcoming and super friendly plus happy to create something special when he's not to busy. Great food and happy environment...I would recommend it! read more

one of my favourite places for sushi! Their price is great and the serving portions are great as well. They serve the beer ICE cold and their dishes that are not sushi-related, such as the chicken crunch sandwich are all amazing. The service is great as well especially considering that most of the time, there is only one server as it is a smaller restaurant. I would recommend cap sushi to anyone and everyone. read more

Absolutely disappointing. Ordered delivery on Just Eat (which had a mandatory 10% tip for the driver on top of a delivery fee). Portions were extremely small, sashimi was ridiculously tiny ($12.50 for 7 tiny pieces) and old tasting. Specialty rolls were no bigger than regular rolls but at a premium price. Definitely will not recommend. read more

This place has inexpensive food, however there communication could be a whole lot better. They changed there menu and there prices. Good thing I had enough cash, other wise they would have seen one very upset customer! Even though I love there prices, I could use some advice on a new expensive sushi place on Marine drive... read more

Wow! I mean.. wow! Sooooo stinking good. The head chef John is so incredibly nice. We talked to him a lot b/c we sat at the bar. I love everything and anything spicy. My top favorites are the spicy crunch roll, crazy buster and spicy tuna. Visiting from LA and it makes me so sad that I can't take this place with me. read more

Pretty decent sushi stop in the strip mall near Save-on Foods. I've only gone their for lunch and usually order their lunch special that includes miso soup and a choice of 3 dishes for $8.95. Everything is pretty standard quality with not much to set it apart, but it gives you exactly what you'd expect. Another good sushi stop among the many in Greater Vancouver. read more

Go here for lunch sometimes. It's usually pretty good, I like their lunch special - you can pick 3 items off a one page menu for $7.95. Pretty good value. Decent food. I've never had any complaints. read more

Yum!!! I can't say enough good things about the hot kiss roll, I am totally addicted! Staff is very friendly but I am only giving 4 stars because, depending on when you go, it is SLOW. Even take out takes forever. Often you can hit them when they aren't so busy and it's fine. But, the sushi is fresh and delicious. Every time I am on the north shore I want to eat here. So good! read more

I had seafood fried rice and salmon with a lot of sushi. The meals were really great. Give them a try if yore ever in north Vancouver.

The sushi was fresh and delicious but you know what i have had comparable all you can eat sushi from Ontario that you couldn't tell the difference but non the less was good. read more

Try their spring special mango crab salad, especially crab meat lovers!

Went here for lunch today. The 7$ special is awesome, but the service was SLOW. Terribly slow. Slow for menus, slow for miso soup, slow for meal, slow for paying. We were there for an hour just for waiting - when usually at Sushi Man down the street, we would have been out in half the time. Food = Good. Service = Slow. read more
