WOW. 'Nuff said…read more The real question here is what did I NOT love about Akari? I was in the area with a friend and since I'm not too familiar with the sushi options in this area, I hopped on Yelp and Akari was the first one listed. After looking through their menu, we popped on over. They have officially re-opened for dine in, which is what we did. The tables have all been spaced to respect social distancing, there is a takeout/pick up area towards the front, and all the staff are wearing masks. They have an assortment of specialty rolls, nigiris, and other Japanese dishes on their menu. Honestly, everything looked delicious; I had such a hard time deciding what to get! I decided to go for the yam crunch roll (prawn, yam, tempura, cucumber, avocado, topped with yam tempura, sprinkled with spicy flakes) and hot night roll (prawn, yam tempura, avocado, cucumber topped with spicy tuna & tobiko). I LOVED both rolls so much. Each bite was jam packed with spice, sauce, and flavour. The rolls were only around $11-$13, which for what we got is extremely affordable. Rolls this size are usually $15+ at other restaurants. Between the prices, sushi quality, and friendly and great service, this place is one of my new favourite sushi spots. There's a reason that they've been voted best Japanese restaurant in this area. Definitely worth the trip out here. If you live in this area and have never been here - well here's your new neighbourhood sushi spot! Thanks for the awesome dining experience, Akari!

We ordered a Japanese soda, Tsawwassen Set, plain udon, salmon oshi, toro aburi and hotate aburi. The restaurant was very child friendly. We had a child's cup, cutlery and plate dropped off. We had a teapot and tea cups for the adults. Food arrived after a short wait. This was one of the better Japanese dining experiences I have had in recent memory. The quality and presentation was great for the price. The Tsawwassen Set was a good lunch combo and offered a bit of everything. There was a choice of chicken or beef teriyaki plus miso soup, sashimi, California roll, tempura, and ebi sunomono. The salmon oshi was made well too and was super tasty. The aburi was also fresh and nicely prepared. Plain udon was alright. I ordered it for my child because he loves noodles. Service was great. Our server stopped by regularly to refill our teapot and clear dirty dishes. COVID precautions were in place. Staff wore face masks. Vaccination passports were checked. Hand sanitizer was available.

This is a perfect spot to go after you hit up the Ladner thrift shop (if you're my wife ). My kids love this spot. They have a little waiting nook with children's books (some "classic" Bearenstein Bears books! Yeah I spelled that right). The atmosphere is great, very much feels authentic. The food is pretty great - sushi was good, I prefer the spicy tuna over the salmon which was a little chewy. The friend chicken tower (got the name wrong) was really good, my kids loved that. Overall, we really like this spot. Highly recommend!!

Made the meal even more appealing (we eat with our eyes first as they say). We ordered the following: Spouses order: The Tuna & Salmon sashimi was fresh and looked amazing (as weird as that may sound). Grilled salmon cheek was perfection. Sunomono salad was delicious & refreshing. Cream cheese/mango/avocado roll also amazing. My order: Agadashi Tofu (spicy) was delicious, coating was light & crisp. Was happy to see that they didn't slather it with the sauce but served on the side. Gyoza (pork) were delicious and I quite enjoyed the filling. Kimchi Tofu was out of this world and I would definitely order it again. Look forward to going back and exploring the menu, a lot of good things to choose from.

The ambiance felt warm and well organized with comfortable seating and a nice setup that made it a pleasant place to relax and enjoy a meal. The food was good as well. I especially loved the mango avocado tempura rolls because they were light, crispy, and refreshing. The miso soup tasted comforting and flavorful, and the beef tataki bowl was also good. We ended up ordering quite a bit of food along with some sake and everything was served nicely. The only thing I did not enjoy as much was the veggie gyoza because the filling tasted a bit unusual to me. Overall, we had a pleasant experience dining here. It is very important for restaurants to maintain genuine pricing while continuing to serve quality food that makes customers want to come back again, and I hope they continue to maintain both their pricing and quality.

I don't recall exactly what we ordered but it was a tuna roll of some sort and salmon sashimi - maybe the best I've ever had - and the shrimp tempura - not the best to get delivered as it comes cooled off and a bit soggy / not the restaurants fault of course. Just a reminder for me to not order that unless I'm in the restaurant. Oh we got a crab nigiri maybe - it was okay - needed something else on it. I'm not a huge fan of soy sauce so ate it plain and it wasn't overly exciting...

I missed some of my favourites from Ekoya, but so far I was introduced to new menus which became our favourites like the Chicken Nanban. Sushi Gurume have aesthetically beautiful platings and I like their special rolls such as Mr. Big Roll and Grouse Mountain. Their menu has many options, so far, the foods we tried were delicious from appetizers, salads, soup, rolls, bento boxes and desserts. Their sashimis are fresh and their lunch set plenty. Overall, they have great service and plenty of delectable menus to choose from. If you're in South Delta, visiting Centennial Beach, Tsawwassen Mills or coming from the Ferry, Sushi Gurume is just minutes away from these spots check them out.

The tempura was also cold and mushy - tempura should be hot and crispy. The skin on the chicken was rubbery - deep fried chicken should be crispy? My husband took the meal back to show them what we received and was told - " just don't order from us then" really ? Any restaurant that doesn't care how their food tastes should not really be in business. To me that says you do not care about your customers at all. lickily we have several other Japanese restaurants in town so we will never have to order there again. Trust me any other restaurant we have is 100% better than what this place true to pass off as "Japanese food". Please try the other restaurants near you before you order there slop they at serving people. ps - I had to pick 1 star. to post his but my rating would be 0
