Was craving for sushi and this was just. 5 mins walk from my hotel. The location was convenient but looks like parking is a hassle. It's just Vancouver. Wide variety of selection on the menu. I choose my favorites and it didn't disappoint. However the amaebi was the smallest I've seen. Overall the fish was fresh and pricing was ok. read more

Fresh Sushi is our go to sushi spot when we want something in the neighborhood. It's bright and clean, service is relatively quick, and it's convenient for a simple sushi dinner. Their spicy salmon is very good, and they always give generous thick slices when we order salmon sashimi. read more

WHEN: Wed @12:30pm This spot seems to be set up more for take out but there around 4 tables to dine in and we lucked out. Here's what I had: MISO SOUP - $2 CAD Standard, it helped fill me up! UNAGI OSHI (6pcs) - $16 CAD Flame seared unagi pressed box sushi seaweed sesame furikake, tobiko, green onion on top. Really good. These oshis are like regular sushi sashimi but square...and added toppings. I really enjoyed it and haven't seen this anywhere else! Everything was good and prices are reasonable if you converted to USD. It came out to be like $15. This place is super convenient especially during a conference event at the Parq and it's so reasonably priced and delicious! read more

I was staying at a hotel nearby and after being on a 4 hour train to get to Vancouver I was starving. Found Fresh Sushi really quickly and I am so glad I did. I had the salmon and tuna sashimi and a boxed salmon roll. Wow, so good. This place beats the local sushi place back home. If you are in Vancouver check them out. Also, if the owner ever sees this, maybe one day you can franchise and open a restaurant in California, more specifically the Bay Area. read more

I got the tuna oshi, negitoro & quail egg nigiri, tamago nigiri, and a miso soup for takeout. I was really impressed with the quality across the board, but the oshi in particular was fantastic. So much flavour in every bite and the texture was perfect! Their prices are much cheaper than a lot of similar places downtown, but the quality definitely doesn't suffer for it. The one thing they didn't follow through on was that I ordered the nigiri with brown rice and they gave me white. They didn't include a printed receipt with my order, but I double checked my online receipt through the site I ordered through and I did indeed ask for brown rice. Obviously I still enjoyed my food, but it was a bit frustrating as brown rice costs extra (only $.15 each, but extra is extra). read more

THE BEST SUSHI AND GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! I leave couple of bocks from them and have been eating and ordering from that place for years. I appreciate that the sushi are made at the time of order and not cold from the fridge. I remember that one time the waitress was assisting an old lady outside that probably had memories issues to find her family and was lost. I took over and help this lady. I was sincerely touched that the waitress took time to interrupt her job to assist this lost old lady. It's nice to see that not everyone is a frustrated "Angry Karen" giving bad reviews on internet. This restaurant meets and exceeds my expectations for and friendly service. read more

Just moved to the neighbourhood and have been looking for my new go-to sushi spot. This is it. The room is comfortable, the food is on point and service is fantastic - attentive, never intrusive and always quick to refill cups of tea and answer any questions. The food is what truly makes this a 5 star sushi spot. The salmon aburi is insanely addictive - and different enough from Miku that you appreciate it for itself instead of trying to compare the two. The Uni was so well priced and sparkling fresh. Another standout was the negitoro with quail egg - clean and bright and then cut with the pop of richness from the egg yolk. We left very happy - and planning to come back right away! read more

We were recommended to this restaurant by someone working in the area. The oshi is a must get as they both pack a punch in flavour. The salmon one was spicy and creamy. The tuna was mild in spiciness and had bits of crunch. Personally I liked the salmon more, but my fiancé preferred the tuna. The negitoro roll was fresh, but the roll that stole the show was the Popeye's. You may think spinach and asparagus to be very ordinary ingredients, that is, until you add the black sesame dip into the mix. A veggie roll with a crunch and a sweetness that makes you beg for more. It's a bit of a walk from any transportation and hard to spot (hidden around the corner). However, I think the effort to find this gem is worth the delicious and affordable treats. Small place, but big place in my stomach. Service was okay, but when it gets busy, it'll take a while to get to you. read more

This sushi restaurant is solid. The food is always fresh and of a good quality, the staff are friendly and courteous, and the service is fast. I usually get take out, but have dined there on a few occasions. It's not the most comfortable place to eat furniture and ambiance-wise, but it's fine for casual sushi restaurant. I eat here a lot, and I don't vary my order much because I have my favourites - tuna, dynamite roll, miso soup, agedashi tofu, tempura, spinach gomae, and a few other rolls. What I really like is that they offer a brown rice option, which I always get. I also always order extra ginger, and they don't charge me for that. The food is always consistent and dependable. A great staple! read more

Terrible. I ordered the sushi maki and teriyaki chicken don and it was all mush. Terrible consistency to the point where I'm turned off from eating sushi for a while now. The texture was like baby food. Shivers up my spine as I type this. I started with the maki and immediately gaged and couldn't eat it. Then tried the Don and same thing. I ended up throwing all the food out and only drank the miso. read more

**Update 7/7/2019** I don't get any pleasure from downgrading my rating of this small restaurant, as my family comes here frequently (as much for take-out as we dine in), and the food is fresh and good and well-priced (my kid says this place has the best sashimi she's ever had and we always order that here). BUT their methods for dealing with customers who walk in to place orders for take-out leaves much to be desired. Here's our recent experience: we visited around 5pm, and we simply wanted to order some sushi and sashimi for take-out. There were a few people waiting outside the door for their take-out orders, and a guy waiting inside by the counter for his order. Most tables were occupied by diners but two were vacant. My kid and I waited by the counter to place our order, and the woman at the cash was busy tallying other customer's bills (she was busy and didn't look up at us although it was clear we were ready to place our orders and we were a foot away from her). After 3 or 4 minutes of waiting, the phone rings by the cash and this lady answers it. Instead of asking the caller if it's okay to put them on hold as she is helping customers there in front of her, she proceeds to take the callers' order (which was long and obviously involved), and had us wait another 5 minutes or so while she helped the person on the phone. This is a big pet-peeve of mine. I've worked retail for many years. You DON'T ignore the paying customer in front of you, who actually came into your store, and keep them waiting, while you assist people who call from the luxury of their homes (or wherever), not bothering to come in. You ask the caller to please hold and then you help the paying customer who is IN FRONT OF YOU. (Sorry for the caps, but I feel so strongly about this). To add insult to injury, once we DID get acknowledged and helped by this lady and we placed our order and paid, then another woman in the restaurant told us to move away from the cash. We got shunted to two different areas, settling on awkwardly standing by the door while we waited for our meal. This place has fresh food at good prices, but they really need a better system to deal with customers coming in for take-out: not ignoring clients in store to deal with call-ins, better signage for placing orders at the cash, and a designated area for waiting. read more

This was recommended by a friend as a budget friendly sushi spot and it did not disappoint. This cute little gem near Yale town is a little small but has very fresh sashimi and mouthwatering pressed box sushi! The pressed sushi doesn't taste nearly as good as the one at miku but that doesn't mean it doesn't taste good. It's a great price and the quality is great too! The waitress was very attentive and the food came out in a timely manner. I do not have anything negative to say and highly recommended fresh as a quick sushi or even date night. read more

We stopped in here before the hockey game. The place wasn't too busy but we did notice only one server on the floor which isn't unusual since the place is fairly small and it was a weeknight. We ordered assorted sashimi, seafood udon, spicy salmon roll,gomae, ebi sunomono and a miso soup. The food got to the table fairly quickly and the sushi chunks were of good size. And they tasted really fresh. My sister liked her udon as well. The soup broth had a good taste to it. Only complaint I have is the service. I think the server must have been fairly new because we didn't get our tea until we got our food and I asked her about my miso which didn't arrive with my food, and I never got it. We had to remind her to take it off the bill at the end. She seemed struggle little bit with the other customers as well. Other than that, the service was good. They greeted us when we arrived and when we left and the food was good as well. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is in the area. read more

Fixes a craving for sushi. Fast and affordable. I dislike the shrimp in the tempura, thin and lacking in flavours. I got their spicy tuna for the roll. Great for pickups too, just call and drop by 15 minutes later. Don't be fooled by reviews regarding "previously frozen" fish, BC Law requires that all raw fish be frozen for at least 48hrs before consumption to kill parasites and things you might not want inside you. To get super raw fish, go to Japan. Overall a decent experience, nothing to write home about but if you live nearby, definitely worth a try. read more

Have ordered take out and had a chance to eat there today and it's pretty good considering how many sushi places there are in the city. For take out, we ordered the gomae, cold spinach in a black sesame sauce, very good, along with the spicy salmon and tuna sashimi which comes in cut up pieces of the raw fish in a house made spicy sauce, pretty good. Also ordered the salmon oishi which could be torched a touch bit more, good. Based on fellow Yelpers reviews, ordered the Burn Roll, avocado roll with torched tuna on top, was ok. Then ordered the spinach roll with black sesame sauce, spicy salmon & tuna sashimi for take out again. Their black sesame and house made spicy sauce are very good. Today, we had the spinach gomae again for their black sesame sauce. Also the salmon oishi (torched and had a nice spicy sauce on top) which was better eating it there, but will ask for it to be torched a bit more next time and ordered the salmon & tuna sashimi with spicy sauce on the side for extra $0.50 (as if you order it spicy salmon & spicy tuna sashimi, then it comes in cut up pieces - just learned that today). Pretty good spot for a quick sushi bite or take out. read more

The hubby had the shrimp cocktail which he enjoyed. For entree, we ordered the branzino which was absolutely one of the best I've had! We also ordered the kid's chicken tenders for our son which was surprisingly delicious and we couldn't help ourselves to it. The batter was light and flavorful. Our waiter, Artem, was wonderful and brought out complimentary desserts to celebrate our son's bday. Definitely a must try restaurant if you are in town.

We were STUFFED, for the price you're paying the portions are very fair and quality you can't beat! I've had seafood in the Bay Area, Boston, and even across countries in Asia, but I was SO impressed by Blue Water Cafe. It is a MUST if you're in Vancouver. Everything was honestly a 5/5, the only dish I would pass on is the Yellowtail, I just wasn't a fan of how much it was wavering between raw and cooked fish, along with the char. It's just not for me, but my parents enjoyed it. Nevertheless, some of the highlights was the sablefish, oh my gosh melt in your mouth. Sablefish is Vancouver locally caught, so very fresh and it has a sweet undertone with the soy and sake marinade. This was my favorite along with the Seafood Tasting for Two, which features scallop ceviche, Dungeness crab salad, albacore tuna tartare, and smoked sockeye salmon terrine. You get a diversity of fishes and flavors, which is most certainly worth the price point. It's the gems of the appetizers put into 1 order. Halibut was also noted to be locally caught, the slices were thin and a perfect app. Hamachi Kama is yellowtail collar, which has a rich, succulent meat. It tasted buttery and was also melt in the mouth. The Dutch Mule was a ginger ale with sorbet. Absolutely delicious mocktail, I held back on ordering a second. The service was also amazing!!! Our waitress welcomed us warmly to Vancouver and even gave us a complimentary dessert to welcome us to the area, even giving us tips where to go near the area and what sights to see in Vancouver.

From the gold railings to coat check to a piano on the stairs to an old school oyster bar showcasing their wares proudly on display, Joe Fortes has a lot going on for it. But perhaps more so than anything else is an amazing happy hour for anyone who loves oysters. Service Before diving into the food let's talk about service. The servers here are dressed in the old full whites with black ties and give you full service. They have an expert knowledge of the menu and are willing to give you any and all opinions if asked. They check on you frequently and make sure you're having a good time with enough banter to make it friendly and welcomed. Happy Hour - Alcohol With that out of the way, we can talk about the happy hour. Yes, they have a great deal when it comes to their house red and white wines where you can get 6 oz for $6 CAD or 9 oz for $9 CAD. Their beers range from $5 CAD to $8 CAD and their cocktails are all under $10 CAD. Happy Hour - Food They have some incredible truffle fries, cut thick and sprinkled with parmesan as delicate as snow for $9 CAD. Their crab & corn fritters are slightly chewy but packed with flavor and come at $12 CAD. The coconut prawns sound just as delicious as they taste and come at $13 CAD. I would avoid the Steelhead ceviche though as it was more mashed avocado than ceviche. However, HOWEVER, the star of the show are their oysters. Coming at $1.75 an oyster, you get to be as gluttonous as you'd like whilst keeping your pockets happy. Vancouver is known for their amazing seafood and with this happy hour from 3 PM - 5 PM it gives you 2 hours to fill your belly with as many oysters as you can. Even if you ordered 50 oysters you would be under $90 CAD. I should know, I did that. Last Thoughts Even without the incredible happy hour Joe Fortes would be a restaurant you have to visit during your trip to Vancouver. With a great selection of food on their menu, wait staff that feel old world and professional, and a setting fit for the city, the happy hour is just the bonus that makes visiting Joe Fortes even more enticing. Come with an appetite, leave with a smile.

Steep as it is, I decided I wanted a "quick little sushi lunch with a view", and a quick little sushi lunch with a few is exactly what I received. Although I don't recommend it, I walked right in from the street, no reservation, and was seated at the bar (in pretty casual street clothes I may add). I enjoyed a premium sake flight (which was fine...just fine), an old fashioned served with the perfect accompanying dark chocolate, and a good amount of sushi including their signature aburi style sushi in flight form and nigiri tuna flight (bluefin, chutoro, otoro). After visiting Japan last December, I'm a bit of an otoro snob but I have to hand it to them, all three of these cuts were perfect. The accompanying rice, perfection. The quality of the fish, divine. The view was the cherry on top of this experience. This will certainly be a spot I revisit next time I'm in Vancouver.

I'm not sure if I would say it was "jumbo" but delicious nonetheless. Parmesan Truffles Fries - The fries were standard, as was the aioli it came with. Organic Beet + Arugula Salad - This was a happy hour portion. It was a good salad, but I wish it came on a bigger plate for easier eating. Service: Service was friendly and quick. The food came out of the kitchen pretty quickly. I was asked more than once if I wanted a drink since it was happy hour which was a little awkward but not too bad! TL;DR - Good happy hour deals with quick service

Chic and cozy vibes!

Shellfish Shack is one of the only memorable spot for my Vancouver Trip. Everything we have ordered was an new tasting in a good way. Every single dishes was seafood and was fresh with a super reasonable price. I couldn't find anything to complain about since we step foot in. Would definitely come eat if i ever come to Vancouver again.

When you dine here, for me at least, it's like entering the Willy Wonka of Food Paradise…read more I specifically came here to try the gooey duck. An extremely large prehistoric claim that you need special mining tools to get to and is only available on the west coast. The Gooey Duck tasted like a soft clam. Not too chewy, and full of crisp flavor. I also was lucky enough to come during happy hour, so I tried the periwinkles and escargot for fifth-teen dollars each. The escargot was not what I was expecting as I only ever had it before in French restaurants where it is served basically in a ball shape covered with butter and garlic, the escargot here were very small and you had to get it out of the shell with a toothpick. After researching snail, I understand there are three different types of snail you can eat. This one is much different than the one if find in French restaurants, but I am glad I was adventurous and tried it. The Periwinkles I liked more than the snail however these were even harder to get out of the shell and you have to really stab and twirl to even have a chance of getting them out of the shell. We probably left over half in the shell. Pro-Tip : Get the jade conch! They gave me two complimentary as they knew I really wanted to try it and not have to order three entrees and a main entree to try everything I came here for. Thank you very much Shellfish Shack, as I loved the Jade Conch and would definitely get this again in the future. The conch were very large and came out of the shell fairly easily. They had two distinct flavors as you reached the bottom of the jade conch, they were more succulent and flavorful, the top portion of the jade conch was a bit spongier and chewier, but I liked these by far much greater than the snail and periwinkles. The girlfriend got the scallops, and they tasted sweet and delicious. Now if you're not sold yet on the place they have a fun game you get to play with the purchase of any beer. You crack off the cap on a pinko looking board and if the cap lands into one of the slots you can get free oysters or other free goodies. I ended up getting two tsing-tao beers but got the try again maybe next time slot both times : ) Great different experience, highly recommend! As always people SYOY!!!
