    We tried Hime as a recommendation and we're so glad we did! The seating area is tiny, with around 8 tables, we were lucky to have a table available around 5:30 on a weekday. I would not recommend parties larger than 4 here unless you are prepared to wait for multiple tables to open. Service was quick and friendly for our party of 4. We ordered a variety of dishes from tempura, rolls, sashimi and handrolls. My party can definitely eat a lot of Japanese food and ordered enough to be full, for a little over $100 we were very happy with the portions and food quality. We will definitely be back when we're in town.

    Hime! Dropped in for the lunch special, runs ´t'il 4pm. Miso soup less than lukewarm. Rolls with yam and cucumber-nori inedible. Hime has dropped off our dance card. From our favourite neighbourhood sushi and Japanese food haunt...to avoid at all costs. Sad, so sad.

    I use to come to Hime Sushi (their other location) a lot when going to university in the area. After having not been here for almost a decade, I was in the area and decided to get a salmon and avocado roll and R got a tuna and avocado roll. I thought there was a bit too much rice on the rolls. Overall thought they were only okay and didn't find them to be anything special.

    Not my first time here but for some reason it was worse than when I last remembered it.. We came here on a late Monday night wanting to order a few things to share. I remember I came here a few years ago but I only ever tried their prawn tempura and it was decent. But these dishes we ordered that night were less than mediocre to say the least. But at least they look nice on camera? Overall I felt that this place was overpriced for the quality. We felt a little bit cheated at the end of our meal that everything was less than mediocre but the prices were a bit higher. I wouldn't come again but at least we know for next time. SALMON BATTERA OSHI SUSHI This was the prettiest but also the worst one we ordered. The salmon pieces on top were soo hard and dry. The rice was also extremely hard and dry. In the middle of the rice they put cream cheese in it... which I never heard of oshi sushi having cream cheese in it. It was not tasty and overpriced ($13-14). Tasteless and dry unfortunately:( I recommend to avoid. FIRE DRAGON ROLL This wasn't bad and was a chef's special roll on the menu. The sauce was decent but it didn't taste anything special. TAKOYAKI This was actually pretty decent and yummy. Big chunks of octopus and extremelyyy hot inside the middle so be careful! ANAKE TOFU Deep fried tofu with a yummy sauce and bunch of veggies (carrots, mushrooms, zucchini, etc.). Very yummy, especially the sauce on top. CHOPPED SCALLOP NIGIRI This was actually not bad - the portions were huge and scallops were huge/creamy as well. TORO NIGIRI Toro tasted low quality and had a few bone pieces in the fish. Didn't like this at all one bit.

    Okonomiyaki - Japanese seafood pancake was big and filled with a lot of seafood! I recommend this
    Salina S.

    Went here randomly and was pleasantly surprised! Everything we ordered tasted great! Good service and atmosphere. I would definitely come back to try more items on the menu. Poke sashimi salad was small but tasted delicious. Okonomiyaki - Japanese seafood pancake was big and fulled with a lot of seafood! Some places will skimp out and have it mainly batter but I was impressed with this one. Scallop roll was good too.

    I was craving for Sushi tonight and couldn't decide which one I should try for.... Hime or Sushiyama? We walked by and checked out both of it then decided to go to Hime. Glad that we picked the right one! The food is so good for such reasonable price and the service is excellent as well. Everything is high in quality and very tasty!! Of coz, we ordered quite a bit of food for 3. Ankake Tofu - Deep fried tofu with Japanese mushroom on top (it's so crispy outside, soft and smooth inside. But, the crystal sauce was sweet) Ebi Mayo - deep fried prawns with yams in house salad sauce (the presentation was good and prawns was tasty) Okonomiyaki - Japanese style seafood and veggie pancakes (Delicious) Ika Kara Age - Japanese style calamari (it was ok, just a bit dry) Sockeye Sushimi - It was fresh and tasty (but not enough varieties of sushmi) Spicy chopped scallops cone - Was big and spicy, the seaweed still quite crunchy. Sushi - All were good. Dragon Roll - California Roll on top of Eel with avocado (Nice and yummy)

    As a UBC student, I come here way too often, sometimes 3 times in one day that I get a membership card which makes me think it's time to write a review. This is the only place near campus that I know for sure won't give me food poisoning and always has very good quality and fresh fish. It's expensive but for the quality and good portions, I'd say it's pretty decent. The sashimi is always great and I enjoy eating here with my friends often. The service and atmosphere is always nice as well. If you're looking for good authentic Japanese food this is a pretty good place to go to.

    The Sakura Spider Roll - ridiculously pretty, ridiculously delicious!
    Ayla C.

    Hime is a perennial favourite for me - one of my best friends lives just around the corner and I can't count the number of times we've gorged ourselves here! This evening, my dining companion had never experienced the deliciousness so I happily suggested we go. The sushi rolls are always beautifully presented, fresh, and tasty! The staff are attentive and courteous - my complimentary green tea was swiftly refilled every time it was getting low, and my empty miso soup bowl disappeared before I even noticed! My only complaint is that I'm so full right now I can hardly move - how dare you make your food so yummy! (I'll be back... And soon...)

    Asari pasta.

    Tiny portion. Got Asari pasta from door dash and was 12.50 and barely had claims. Will not be coming back.

    Ebi Mayo and Salmon Nigiri
    Guislen M.

    I go to school at VCC so I love coming into Hime for a quick lunch. I didn't realize how popular this place was because you can't really see in from the window outside so it took me a while to gather the courage and walk in. Just wanted to say that it's really cool that the people who worked there are actually Japanese so it says a lot about the quality of their food. I almost always order their chicken teriyaki donburi during my breaks because it comes out rather quickly and isn't very fussy. The price is very easy on my college-student wallet. Their teriyaki sauce is the sweetest and the portion size is perfect. I'm also a fan of their chicken karaage, ebi mayo, and salmon sashimi. They taste how they should. When I have time I like to indulge in their green tea ice cream. Unlike most would-be Japanese establishments, Hime is clean and well lit and not at all sketchy. And unlike the high-end Japanese tapas, they don't yell at you when you come in. When I sit at the bar I like to listen to the sushi chefs banter in Japanese - it kind of adds to the experience. Their servers are very sweet girls and they never pressure you leave.

    love the teacups

    Sashimi prices are pretty good ($6 for 5 pieces of salmon) and the slices are generous. The $9 nabeyaki udon was tasty, hot, and teeming with toppings. Should've been 4 stars based on the food, but service imploded into nonexistence when the restaurant got really busy. I think one waitress thought the other was handling the check so it took ten minutes to pay our tab.

    Tea and neko.

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.

Michelin starred quality in their service by how they explained the menu, brought out the food, came back around to refill waters. Just top notch service and elegantly so. The food was good but not of value. Their lunch set was a good introductory to what they offer. I enjoyed the food for its flavours and presentation but I thought that it was a bit overpriced. Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful, fresh and definitely elevated, but it was $50 for 10pcs of sushi, 2 appetizer sized samples of their appetizer or entree dishes, and miso soup (which we did not get and didn't realize till much later in the day). If you're wanting an upscale experience (and portion) of good quality food or wanting to impress other parties, then this is a nice spot. For regular eats, it's a bit too luxurious to be a casual thing in my opinion. The ambiance is nice and calm. They have a patio, which has a meh view overlooking the harbor, but beware of a breezy day. It will catch a bit of a wind tunnel. They have heaters and blankets but the heaters don't really reach unless you're sitting next to it.

I completely understand that the space inside is limited, and waiting can be unavoidable. What made the experience less comfortable was not the wait itself, but the way it was communicated. Being asked to wait outside felt a bit cold and impersonal. In situations like this, a more friendly explanation, a small sign at the door, or even a simple system that lets customers know when to come back could make the wait feel much more considerate and human. Running a small restaurant is not easy, especially in today's economic climate. I truly believe that with a warmer, more customer-oriented approach, this place could do very well.

Okeya Kyujiro is a Michelin one-star theatrical omakase restaurant, and when they say theatrical, they mean it! From the moment you're welcomed by smiling ushers in kimono to the closing tea ceremony, every movement feels intentional, precise, and elevated. The ambiance is serene and anticipatory. At the start, guests sit in silence as a black screen conceals the chefs. You see their shadows moving behind it. A bell rings, the screen lifts, and the performance begins. Dinner is a 25+ course experience priced at $325 per person. It's undeniably a splurge, but for a milestone celebration, it feels justified. The menu is seafood-forward, with many ingredients flown in from Japan. Each ingredient is presented before preparation, then carefully assembled and served directly from chef to guest. Courses arrive one by one, never rushed. The service team moves seamlessly in the background, refilling water and attending to drinks (available as an add-on) without disrupting the flow. The finale is a matcha ceremony, whisked in front of you with the same quiet precision that defines the evening. When the final sip is taken, the bell chimes once more, the chefs and staff bow, and the screens close. It was a beautifully choreographed dining experience, perfect for marking a special moment, and one I'd gladly return to for the next celebration.

    Service was really amazing with servers explaining each dish and drinks were always topped off…read more Food was good, but maybe this isn't quite my style of omakase compared to the other ones I've tried. This is a more theatrical style so expect louder music and a more theatrical experience (eg one of the servers played the flute for the guests celebrating birthdays). I prefer a more intimidate and interactive style of omakase where you can talk with the chefs. This lunch also felt a little fast in terms of progression of the meal. Some of the dishes were very tasty while others didn't wow us. With drinks, we were quite full despite some reviews saying portion is on the smaller size. Our total was around $500 with drinks for 2 people. A really good experience for omakase, especially if you are looking for a unique experience though not my favourite one I've tried.
