Stopped by around 7 pm on a weekday. This place is quite small with limited seating and we were the only persons eating in the establishment at that hour. It is located with a host of other businesses in a strip mall kind of set up with plenty of free parking. Opted to share the California Combo and the Dynamite Combo. Pretty standard sushi...taste and presentation were both good and as expected. The server was quite attentive (as we were the only patrons) and she was processing a lot of take out orders. It was a positive food experience. read more

Fat Tuna Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

I just walked there and picked up the order that I preordered ahead of time. I paid and tipped them only to get home and there is no rice with my teriyaki. I find Sushi Kari's to have fresher ingredients, the price is way cheaper and they have never messed up my order. Their teriyaki also comes with miso soup as this one did not. Overall I don't think it's worth it to come back here for me. It was expensive and I am not happy with it at all. They did offer to give me a credit but overall the care and attention was not given and that's what is missing in a lot of industries these days. Cooking at home is always best, I think I'm going to try and stick to that. It isn't a treat anymore to go out read more

Small portions !!! I live close by and portions are smaller every time i go there . So no more fat tuna for me , there is a lot places to go for sushi in that area with bigger portions for the same money read more

I came here for lunch with a friend from Toronto on a Wednesday. We were the only table in the restaurant. The restaurant itself is super small with only 4 tables. Most of the orders or business at Fat Tuna Sushi are takeout. This makes sense when the restaurant is so small. So I got the sashimi combo for $17.95. It came with: - Miso soup - Salad - Crispy Crab rice - 8 pieces of sashimi according to the restaurant but I was only given 7 pieces (please see photo) - 3 pieces of tempura (1 piece shrimp, 1 piece yam and 1 piece cucumber) Overall the food was very delicious. I really enjoyed my meal. It was sad that the menu said I get 8 pieces of sashimi but I only got 7 pieces. At the end of the day, I was full. The restaurant is Korean ran. Presentation of the food was quite nice. All the ingredients were fresh. Prices are good. Market rate I would say. There are plenty of free parking at the restaurant. So this is definitely a plus. I would definitely come back for sure. Service was good. All Covid protocols are in place. read more

Small shop with a nice staff. I visited on a weekday, specifically on Monday at noon. I had heard about this place before visiting. Food: Lunch Roll Special $18.50, which included a choice of 2 rolls, edamame, miso soup, and 3 pieces of tempura (shrimp, yam, and cucumber). Overall, I would rate it 7.8/10. The set was strong and filling. I opted for the chopped scallop roll and the spicy salmon roll. The chopped scallop roll was okay, but what stood out to me the most in the spicy salmon roll was the salmon itself. The salmon was meaty, and I could taste its texture with every bite. It wasn't mashed up like in some other places. However, the seaweed in the roll was tough and tasted stale, which was the flaw of that particular roll. The tempura was served in a cute deep-frying basket, which I believe was used for plating purposes rather than actually frying the tempura. read more

Small cozy restaurant, could fit 4-5 parties. Personally I prefer smaller restaurants but if you're planning on bringing a big group this is not the place to go. The hostess/waitress was quick to seat us and was friendly the entire stay. My husband and I tried the tempura vegetables, Teriyaki Beef bowl, and the fat tuna wrap. All were pretty great! Tempura vegetables - loved the presentation of this dish. It just brought it to a new level. And who doesn't enjoy massive vegetables haha Teriyaki Beef bowl - the serving size was very generous for this one! This is definitely for 2 people. The flavor was great but for some could potentially be on the saltier side but that's the whole point of getting teriyaki Fat tuna wrap - a great lunch entree! A light and refreshing wrap without any heavy dressings. I'd highly recommend this place ! read more

Went back to Fat Tuna, first time since before Covid. I couldn't wait to have my favourites and chat with the amazing staff. I also brought two family members after gushing how great the food is. I was terribly disappointed. New owners. Our server was great! He was polite, helpful and I would tip him. The food was sub par to what it was, the servings were small. Food: We ordered the Combo A $29.95 - it was passable, but nothing to write home about. Not as good as my previous experiences. We also ordered from the menu, 8 spring rolls (we got four, and when questioned were told that the "old" order of 8 were half the size, and now they served 4 bigger ones. Well....the "bigger ones were the size of my ring finger (size 7) and did not appear to be fresh, but rather possible frozen then cooked for serving. We also ordered the Shrimp Miso soup which was ok, but again nothing special. I asked for tea, because nothing was served, and was given a cup of luke warm something that I didn't recognize as tea, and subsequently did not finish. We had to ask for serviettes. The behind the scenes staff seemed perturbed that we were asking for extra things like serviettes. The whole experience was disappointing. Overall: I/we will not be returning to Fat Tuna. There are better Sushi establishments in the Coquitlam area. Very disappointed. Sorry this has happened. read more

Ordered takeout from here. We had the dinner combo A, spicy salmon sashimi, negitoro roll and some nigiris. I think the dinner combo is a good deal and there are some interesting combos (not just a bento with a california roll). Combo A comes with 14 pieces of sashimi, 2 prawn tempura, 2 veggie tempura, and a crispy crab rice. Enough for 2 people to be full. The nigiris were awesome - big portions and fresh. Toro is legit, tamago is thick and sweet, unagi is thick slices. Read my full review and more pics on my blog: https://sincerelyloewe.com/fat-tuna-sushi-takeout-in-coquitlam/ read more

Fat Tuna Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Sushi runs the gamut. From, "I would gladly submit to death by mercury poisoning for this sushi" to "Oh dear, the fish is paper thin and food-court quality". Fat Tuna is consistently more on the first end of the spectrum. I have never eaten in, only had it delivered. Now, I never walked to school barefoot and in the snow...but, I certainly remember the days when sushi was not available for delivery. We've come a long way Baby! The toro is buttery, the agedashi tofu is molten (the spicy is not very spicy), the garnishes are crisp... The custom rolls are clever and tasty. My choosy cat sampled the sashimi this round, and the licking of her lips declared it 'purr-worthy'. Prices are reasonable and portions generous. read more

Fat Tuna Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

We don't find ourselves out in Coquitlam very much so I'm not really sure how we managed to wind up at Fat Tuna other than the fact that the name sounded interesting. Fat Tuna is located in a mini mall on Brunette and Lougheed Hwy and it's not something that you would really notice by driving by. We showed up for lunch on a weekend in November and it wasn't very busy but the restaurant itself is a bit small. We wound up ordering from their Fat Tuna Lunch Special menu which includes miso soup, 3 pieces of thick-cut veggie tempura, and 1 piece of prawn tempura. The Assorted Sashimi Lunch Special ($16) came with 2 pieces of tuna, 2 pieces of salmon, 1 piece of seared scallop, 1 piece of sockeye salmon, 1 piece of big eye tuna, and 1 piece of hamachi. Overall, I liked the variety of sashimi as many places only offer regular tuna and farmed salmon. The assorted sashimi also came with a bowl of Crispy Crab Rice. I was actually surprised at how satisfying this dish was with the contrasting textures of the crispy bits and the creaminess of the spicy mayo sauce mixed with the crab and rice. The Black Cod Teriyaki Lunch Special ($13.50) sat on a bed of cabbage, onions, zucchini, carrots, and broccoli but was a bit too saucy for my liking. One of the misses here, in my opinion, was the Beef Tataki ($10). Perhaps it's because I always think of tataki being thinner cut. The thick-cut beef tenderloin that they use here is seared and served with mixed greens, dry garlic, and a wasabi mayo sauce. Last up to the table was their House Roll ($7.75) made with tuna, salmon, seared salmon, cucumber, avocado, imitation crab and tobiko. As expected with a house roll, the roll itself was fairly large. Overall, there were some hits and misses here but I really enjoyed the crispy crab rice and the sashimi. read more

Fat Tuna Sushi - a close up of a meal in a styrofoam container - Japanese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Decided to get delivery from Fat Tuna through Skip the Dishes. The presentation upon arrival of my sushi was great! I ordered the chicken teriyaki roll, spicy salmon roll and salmon roll. The chicken teriyaki roll was all fried batter with little to no chicken; I definitely would not order it again. The spicy salmon roll was the salmon roll with mayo and Sriracha on top. The salmon in the spicy salmon roll were long strips and very chewy; I definitely would not order it again. The salmon roll was the best of them all even though it was the most plain roll. The salmon in this roll was better; not as chewy or dark in color as the spicy salmon roll. The quality was definitely not the greatest in any of the rolls. Unfortunately I don't think I'll return. read more

Fat Tuna Sushi - Chicken teriyaki roll, spicy salmon roll, salmon roll - Japanese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Love to discover new sushi restaurants around the neighborhood. Fat Tuna is one that my husbabd and I recently discovered in the burquitlam area. We tried their dinner combo A and the Fat Tuna Tempura. The dinner combo was a great deal for $24 there was a platter of 12 assorted sashimi that were thick and fresh, bowl of rice with imitation crab, miso soup and tempura. While the Fat Tuna Tempura had a generous portion of your regular tempura along with 2 pieces lobster tempura and 2 pieces of tuna tempura - it was neat to try but I would probably not order again because I find the lobster tempura a bit small and didn't taste as great as I was anticipating it to be! Overall a great experience and would come here again to try out their rolls next time! read more

Holy moly! The size of their cuts are just so greatly generous. Very fresh sashimi and mouth watering tempura. Great spot to get your Japanese fix. Would love to return when I am in town again. read more

Amazing a tuna poke bowl. Excellent quality and authentic ingredients. Highly recommend

Ordered for delivery via Skip The Dishes. The restaurant conveniently didn't add the free promotional dish that was part of my order and offered a very insincere apology, saying there was nothing they could do. Hopefully I am able to be refunded via Skip. Regardless, it doesn't help that my order is missing an entire dish (which I was planning to eat for dinner) and the restaurant is now closed. Very disappointing experience, will not recommend this place or order again. read more

A real gem! Innovative cuisine. great tempura! Cute place where you can sit and relax! Friendly staff. They have their own style of Japanese cuisine worth trying! Great place for kids super casual place or take out if you like! Easy parking. A little hard to find but very close to woody's pub on brunette ave! read more

Good sushi at an okay price. The biggest problem with this restaurant is the extremely limited seating space.

This was one of my favourite sushi restaurants in Burnaby/Coquitlam. Really good portion sizes on the sashimi, and I enjoyed the deep-fried california roll! read more

The first time I ordered from Fat Tuna (justeat.ca) I was so impressed. The food had outstanding flavour, quality, and appearance. As an added bonus, there is no delivery charge and their customer service was excellent - they threw in an appie for being a little late. My two subsequent orders, however, did not live up to the first. Orders #2 was, as Yelp would put it "A-OK" but nothing special. I figured it was an off day (we all have them), so I placed another order last night. Here were the problems with my third (and probably final) order from Fat Tuna: -The avocado in all of my rolls was unripe and inedible, so I had to pick it out of all of my rolls and (much to my dismay) throw away the avocado roll. -The yam in my rolls was undercooked and crunchy in some places. -The agedashi tofu was cold in the centre. -The delivery tray had gotten jostled around prior to arrival and some of the rolls were falling apart. Given, this did make picking out the unripe avocado and under-cooked yam much easier. I ended up throwing away most of the order and preparing something else for dinner, so my order from Fat Tuna ended up being a waste of time and money. I will be going back to my old faithful, Sushi Gen, from here-on-out. ***Vegetarian and vegan friendly. Very contentious of dietary requests and needs. This is the one thing I still appreciate about this establishment even after my disastrous 3rd order, which is why I gave them 2 stars instead of 1. read more

I should have yelped this first to see all the people rating this place. Everything was meh. There was swaths of mayonnaise, sriacha, and what tasted like triple o sauce on everything. I guess when there's not much real Japanese food in the area, people will gladly overpay for this. The non sushi items were basically Caucasian cuisine (lol) with Japanese names on it. I'll pass. read more

Freezing cold, no liquor license and couldn't pull together brown rice saying it was hard to do??? Tea wasn't hot either. Won't go back read more

i used to order from here all the time, before new owners and name change. I was hopeful that it would be just as good or better but NO. I tried it twice thinking maybe they didn't have it together yet and the second time would be better, Nope. The portions are much smaller, prices higher, menu is very different, which is ok but they're missing a lot of key items for a sushi place. The food is mediocre at best. It's either Bland or too salty. I've been disappointed each time. I REALLY hope they improve, it's close to us and it was nice to have a good sushi place that delivers, it's really to bad :( I think it will be a looooong time before I try them again. read more

Truly an awesome dining experience. Ordered through Skip the Dishes and was in awe of some of the rolls. I only wish I was not just visiting the area so that I could order from them more often. read more

Wasn't able to get through to place an order for pick up. Tried the number from the site 604-777-0702. But the number is from a separate company. Even tried to order online and it wouldn't work. How does a small company stay in busy if it makes it hard for the customer to order! read more

I ordered a few items at this restaurant. First was the spicy tuna roll, they must mash up the tuna a whole lot before they put it in the roll it was so soft and nothing like a typical spicy tuna toll. Then on top of each piece was a whole bunch of medium spicy sauce. It tasted like a lot of mush. Second was the tuna 3 ways... Didnt care for any of the flavours. Third was the fat tuna roll. Its definitely fat all right. Its dripping with oil from the melted cheese. I could barely get through any of it :( read more

The reason for the 1 Star- 1. Walked in to possibly eat in (would have been happy with take out) and was absolutely shunned. The Lady yelled "no room" okay. I asked "take out" she yelled " no too busy". I get that it is a very small establishment. But not even waiting for take take out?.. 2. They advertise delivery with a 3km radius. Completely understandable. Umm I live 10 blocks from them and have had them deliver to my family and also family up the street. Our family was altogether and tried to order at least $200 worth of food and they demanded that we are out of the radius... Umm maybe use Google Maps like every other restaurant. 3. This post is not about the food. The chef is excellent. Always loved their food. The women that work there should be more invested and have a better sense of business. read more

Fat Tuna in Coquitlam (near Burnaby border) was great a few months ago. There has been a recent change in ownership and now the food is outstanding--not that it wasn't before but it's SO much better. I ordered for take out. I waited and was given tea while I waited--so very much appreciated on a soggy cold day. I ordered my usual (negitoro, BC roll, salmon-avocado, and AB Cowboy) and I loved how the chef balanced the rice and filling--it's not abundantly rice. All of the sushi was SO tasty. The rolls were well-constructed and did not fall apart--easy to eat. The sushi chef did such a marvelous job--remarkably well presented even in the take out container! Please note that some of the photos of the restaurant are not of the Coquitlam location. The Fat Tuna in Coquitlam, is like a cafe--it's casual. I moved out of Coquitlam six months ago; and I have been searching for a sushi place closer to home but I am continually disappointed by what is available around me. I will be heading back to Fat Tuna Coquitlam because they simply do not disappoint--I don't mind traveling a bit further to avoid sushi-disappointment. read more

In town for work and drove by so thought I would check it out. Very friendly. Very efficient and very tasty. The vast majority of sushi places are just pretty good. Very few are special.

First time to try this nearby restaurant and went home with a huge disappointment. I ordered two pieces of toro nigiri, well there were large pieces but were all freezing cold and weren't fresh at all (tasted like something you've been putting in your fridge forever if you know what I mean). I ate one and asked the waitress to take the other back. The chef made me two pieces of seared shrimp nigiri instead and didn't charge me for the toros. I give one star just for the service (well you have to give a star to write a review anyways). What's more important than fresh food especially when it comes to raw fishes? Their food is all about strong taste of every sauce you can think of, which I don't like it at all. Me and my husband ordered an old diamond roll and a deep fried hemmermited roll. All came with thick layers of sauce that made us couldn't taste the ingredient itself. And the combination was weird. I would never ever torture my taste buds like this again. Seriously, they are tons of good Japanese restaurants out there so please never stop at this one. read more
