More like Japanese Izukaya instead of a true restaurant. Sashimi was very delicious, love the salmon belly. The sushi and rice are also good. Samplers 3 short for 10oz is quite expensive, no recommend. Service is just alright except the owner she was very passionate. Experience was good overall. Dinner for 2 plus chef's 18pics sashimi and hot 500ml sake. 148 plus tax read more

We found this restaurant thanks to Yelp. We were seated right away. Menu and tea were dropped off shortly afterwards. The menu offered an extensive selection and it was difficult to decide. We ended up ordering assorted sashimi, aburi combo, tonkotsu ramen, seared amaebi nigiri and tuna toro nigiri. The kitchen was fast at making our order. The sashimi was fresh. The aburi sushi were all made well although I found it to be a tad sauce heavy. The ramen was alright. The broth could be more flavourful. There was a decent amount of noodles and the pork was flavourful. I enjoyed the potato croquette. It was freshly fried and tasty. Service was great. Staff check up on us regularly to clear dirty plates and refill tea. Overall, we enjoyed a great meal and would return when we are on the area. read more

I came here for dinner recently. The restaurant had a relaxing atmosphere and service was good. In terms of food, I tried their Spicy Chirashi Don. The Chirashi had Salmon, Tuna, Snapper, Tamago, Masago, Tako (Octopus), Ebi (Shrimp), and salad with various vegetables. All the sashimi were quite fresh and the octopus was the best as it was soft but still had a bit of a crunch. The sweet spicy sauce really completed the dish. One thing to note is that they diced up all the sashimi. read more

This Korean-operated Japanese restaurant is located in the Sullivan Square Shopping Centre. Their menu is extensive but I ended up ordering all sushi. I order 4 rolls for takeout which came out to almost $40 (they give 10% off for cash payments). I've tried their lunch bento boxes before and I think those were more delicious compared to the 4 rolls. I personally found the rolls too saucy and soggy. The yam tempura in the yam tempura roll was not crunchy and the chicken in the chicken teriyaki roll was overcooked. The special mango roll I ordered was overly sweet from the mango sauce and wasn't very appetizing. Another special roll I ordered was topped with loads of dried onion which were unfortunately soggy. I ordered takeout but service was decent. They were able to accommodate my request for mayo on the side though I wish they ask customers if they would like bags before charging $0.40 for the takeout paper bag. Overall, I would recommend coming here for their lunch specials/bento boxes which I personally think have better value and execution. read more

Love coming here- service is fast and great, owner is very friendly and welcoming. Interior is nicely decorated. My daughter and I just finished our meal- caterpillar roll and one of the no rice specialty sushi rolls (forgot the name) and both were yummy! Miso soup and the Karaage appetizer (squid) were tasty. My daughter had the Taiyaki ice cream for dessert, she usually gets the mochi but tried this for the first time. Great homemade mango sauce on the side and went well with the ice cream/wafer. She wanted to order seconds lol. In the past we've ordered both the assorted and deluxe sashimi which are always fresh and delicious, and have enjoyed other dishes like the tempura, teriyaki beef and chicken katsu. Always a full meal here, portions are good, prices affordable especially for the amount and quality of food you get. Definitely will continue coming here:) read more

We made the wrong turn and made it to this resto. Not a wrong decision definitely and ended having a good time. We had Dragon Roll, Chicken Teriyaki, Salmon Kama and Ebi Mayo. The ambience was great too and their price is affordable. Next time it would not be a wrong turn but a definite destination. read more

The atmosphere was quite laid back and relaxed. We came at around 5, so it wasn't busy at that time. The service was pleasant, and the food was delicious. In addition to the dinner set and Toro nigiri, we also ordered one of their sushi combos. So glad to have found a good sushi place in the Panorama-Sullivan area! read more

Isshin Sushi - Aburi Tori Nigiri - Japanese Near Me - Surrey, British Columbia

See all

A delicious sushi restaurant that has great quality, fresh fish, an aesthetically pleasing interior, and reasonable prices...in Surrey? The outside was very unassuming, as it looks like a standalone generic building in the middle of a strip mall. Once you come inside, it's a completely different story. There is lots of great looking traditional Japanese decor, and tons of open space - featuring several dark wooden tables and booths, wooden floors, and dark walls. I quickly and randomly picked this place cuz it was so close by, and arrived with a large group with no reservations...and to my pleasant surprise, they went out of their way to be super accommodating and friendly. We even kept on ordering more food, because everything tasted so delicious! The sushi was so beautifully presented and very fresh, they don't skimp on their portions and they have so many options (their menu is HUGE). They have everything: appetizers, sushi rolls, sashimi, nigiri, aburi sushi, rice bowls, curry...and even ramen! Since we ordered so much, they also gave us complimentary mochi ice cream to finish off our meals! They are surprisingly quite comparable to other mid-range restaurants found in Vancouver, but in terms of how they rank to other sushi restaurants in the area, they definitely stand well above their competitors. This is definitely where you want to go to eat sushi if you're in Surrey, and more people need to give them a try. I will definitely continue to support this local business, as all their food was on point! read more

Okay, true Japanese food is hard to find in the suburbs but the next closest thing is Korean-Japanese places like Isshin! I'm so happy I decided to stop in for a lunch break. I ordered a udon bento, which came as a veritable feast! I was so surprised how much food it came with...and this is one order! I did also get a Philadelphia Roll because....I was hungry and I wanted a smoked salmon typa roll! The udon wasn't all that interesting (i prefer mine with more broth) but the tempura....oh, the tempura...! The perfect selection with sweet potato, eggplant and prawns. The coating was piping hot and extra crispy but the batter wasn't thick. It was so......so........good! And the philly roll is the nicest I've had in a long while! Overall, I was very satisfied with my meal. What really pushed this to next level greatness was the takeout packaging! No Styrofoam here; cardboard boxes, including a cup-shaped one that allowed for an open top so the tempura doesn't get soggy as fast! Service was also really friendly and attentive and the server had a positive attitude which made me happy. Go here, it's goooood! read more

Pleasantly surprised. Recently visited this newly renovated sushi place for lunch and although I didn't expect much, I really liked the food and it was fulfilling. I went with the Udon Lunch Special. It came with: - A small bowl of vegetarian udon noodles - Tempura(prawn, sweet potato and eggplant) - Salad with orange sauce - 8 piece Alaska roll - Miso Soup All were delicious, I especially liked the tempura as they weren't burnt or overly greasy. Udon was good too. It was a very fulfilling lunch and at $12.95 it's a good value I think. We also shared Mochi dessert which came as a mix of green tea and mango. I wasn't mindblown but it was a tasty and light dessert, perfect for summer as it was a bit like ice cream in the middle. Overall a good alternative sushi place in the neighbourhood. Their cutlery and stone plates also give the feel of a nice restaurant which was appreciated! read more

Isshin Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Surrey, British Columbia

We stopped here on a whim one evening and was surprised to have discovered our new favourite sushi spot! I'm currently grain free, and the number of delicious RICE FREE rolls they have was such a delightful surprise! I've never had rice free rolls that were up to this standard of quality! The serving sizes were larger than I expected,all the ingredients were so fresh and handled expertly. The staff was really friendly and attentive. I look forward to trying more of their large but delicious menu in the near future! read more

Amazing sushi for a reasonable price. My favorite is the seared sushi combo (7 pcs of assorted aburi sushi). Their rolls are also amazing with some unique combinations like the Manitoba roll ( yam tempura, black sesame sauce, and spinach in the inside, sliced avocado on top) and the Mountain roll hand roll (shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, crab meat, avocado, and cucumber inside, wrapped in lettuce and rice paper). The staff are very attentive and polite. read more

Isshin Sushi - Salmon crab - Japanese Near Me - Surrey, British Columbia

Just discovered this place a couple of months ago. It's my new go to sushi place to order takeout from.

It was pretty quiet at 7pm on a Monday night so we were seated right away. The staff was friendly and the prices were ok. But once we ordered we realized the prices are AMAZING for what you get. Generous portions and fresh fish. Highly recommend this place. We ordered vegetable sunomono, salmon sushimi (large pieces), Lady in Red roll (yum and massive size), and morningside roll. 2 people and we are stuffed... but yeah, we finished with dessert! read more

Isshin Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Surrey, British Columbia

Absolutely horrible. Had hair in my miso soup, waitress was unnatentive and only offered 10% off which doesnt even cover the cost of the soup that was ruined. I would not reccomend this place to anyone. When I was asked if I would ever return and said no they clearly did not care about trying to remedy the situation and left me with the absolute most minimal discount possible for a disgusting situation. I hope this place gets shut down because there are so many better places within a 5-10 minute drive. Do yourself a favor and do not waste your time, go somewhere else read more

Incredibly fresh sushi but the customer service is what makes it a 5 star establishment. My niece was fussing and ended up needing breast milk. My sister didn't have any cover so she tried to cover as best as she could. One of the servers came by and offered my sister her jacket which we graciously accepted. The restaurant was completely empty and they were doing it to be kind and make my sister feel more comfortable. I will definitely be back! read more

I have been here numerous times now and their service is always excellent! A couple months ago, myself and my colleagues came here for lunch and they were understaffed which resulted in a slower service. We didn't say anything because we didn't really mind but they were so kind to offer us free dessert because of the slower service! read more

A friend suggested this fairly new restaurant in the area. There wasn't a menu on yelp. I finally found a menu on their Facebook page which I noted was just put up in March 2018. I ordered the scorpion roll as it sounded the interesting and I was looking for a snack. The menu priced it at $11.95. I placed the order and was advised it would take 20 minutes as the roll was baked. No problem, thanks for the heads up. When I arrived to pay, the lady helping me at the front asked for $15.70. In my head, I couldn't figure out why taxes were so much more so I asked why was it &15.70. The server indicated that it was the price. I told her that I ordered off their menu on heir Facebook page and it indicated that the roll was $11.95. She went off to look up the price of the roll on the in store menu and showed me that it was $14.95. She then mentioned that they just changed the menu prices yesterday....... Seeing as the menu I found was put up for the business owners on their official Facebook page, I kind expected them to honour the price posted as a courtesy as there was an error on their end. Server just said sorry. Had they honoured the pricing, I would've been happy to tip over that price increase. But obviously that did not happen hence this review. Perhaps in the future, they should go over the pricing when placing an order so you know what you are paying. As for the roll itself, I wasn't a fan of it. The salmon was fishy. And the tuna inside had the texture of canned flake tuna. read more

I'm a huge fan of sushi and absolutely love trying new places! I was very impressed by the huge menu in fact i felt as tho i was reading a short novel... sadly the food didn't match the exciting menu... the California rolls we ok and the beef teriyaki was nothing to brag about i give the menus a 10/10 and food a 3/10 read more

Came on a Sat night with my husband and got seated right away. The menu is quite extensive so it's a bit intimidating. I knew I wanted to try the Aburri sushi and I'm glad I did. We ordered the Seared Saba Oshizuki, Salmon Aburri, Charashidon (off menu), Assorted Tempura, and Agedashi Tofu. Everything was delicious and our server was very attentive. Price is good in relation to the portions. We ate the food too quickly before we could snap a picture. My husband raved about the chirashidon. The Saba brought back good memories from Japan. Glad we came here instead of our usual sushi place. read more

Tonight my parents offered to treat my family and my in-laws out to eat at this restaurant because my in-laws were visiting from out of town. On top of this, it was also my mother-in-law's birthday. We chose Isshin because my husband and I really enjoy their food. Tonight, the restaurant chose to use seating cushions (on the bench) that were not thoroughly dried from their wash, and they were still quite damp. The one my mother sat on was still so wet that the water seeped into her pants as she sat. Initially we were horrified because we thought maybe a previous child had had an accident on the cushion! To make matters worse, when we brought this to the attention of our server, the server acknowledged that the cushions were still damp from their wash. My question is: why would you use cushions in your restaurant if you know that they are still wet? Honestly, it was one of the worst dining experiences I have had in Lower Mainland/Vancouver/Surrey (and my husband and I eat out all the time and have been too many types of restaurants.) Plus the server said that the cusions had been wet since their wash two days ago! Now, cushions that stay damp for that long and are not dried properly are inclined to develop bacteria and mold. It is incredibly uncomfortable and distasteful to sit on wet cushions. Period. It was offensive because there was no apology and the waitress brought us extra napkins as if this was going to make my mom feel better. The other cushions on our bench were also damp. My mother was quite upset by the sensation of having to sit in wet clothing for dinner. She felt like she had wet her pants. This was not what she expected in a quality dining experience. I don't think the restaurant realised how uncomfortable the night was for her, nor did they take responsiblity that they were at fault for the experience. They offered us a few free miso soups and a $10 gift certificate to make amends. But this seemed like an empty gesture for what was supposed to be an important night of our family coming together after not having seen my in-laws for two years and celebrating my mother-in-law's birthday. Instead of wanting to take our time, we felt like we should eat and leave as quickly as we could. My mother wanted to go home to change out of her clothes. The rest of the evening we had poor service with some dishes coming out fast and others taking forever. The simplest menu item (which was for the children) came out the latest when the kids had been waiting even well after all the adults had eaten their meals. In the midst of all this, even my mother's order was taken down incorrectly. There was no reason for her to order Box B because she hates sashimi. Whether it was their fault or hers, this mistake was a result of the confusion and disarray that the initial cushion ordeal created. She was upset when the order was being taken and nothing had been said or done by the management to make her have any sense of peace. Furthermore, they ran out of chicken karaage for the bento boxes and offered to replace them with gyozas which we did not want. When we asked for ika karaage as a replacement, their server's response was that it would be extra for the replacement, but because of the incident with cushions they wouldn't charge us. They made it seem like they were doing us a favour by not charging us "extra" for an adequate replacement of a dish that they ran out of. The food tasted mediocre after this experience. I was extremely disappointed by the way the management chose to handle the situation. It is unfortunate but Isshin will need to re-evaluate the level of quality in their service and atmosphere if they want to reinforce the cost of their menu items. People go to dine out with their family not merely for good food, but dinner "together" (as they call themselves) is also an experience. I felt awful that at the end of the night my hard-working mother paid for a meal she did NOT enjoy and for an experience that was far from ideal. read more

First time at Isshin in Surrey! It's very hard to find a decent quality sushi spot with great service with reasonable prices and staff who know their menu. I would've given Isshin 4 stars based on food, but based merely on price and service, 5 STARS!! read more
