Joy Sushi - Fried California, wow Chick-A-Wow-Wow Roll(8pc) and Salmon Sashimi(6PC) - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Joy sushi is a mixed bag, and has been inconsistent in its quality over my few visits. The first visit was great! Very prompt service, and very good and fresh flavors. Prices are on the low side, especially in light of the presentation and quality of the dishes. Second visit wasn't so good. Service was much slower, and things didn't seem to be as fresh or tasty. I'd not recommend the custard dessert, it was served to me partially frozen, was pretty much flavorless, and seemed to have had far too much gelatin added when it was made. The interior is pretty dirty, too. Walls look like they've never been cleaned, and some booths' walls are far worse than others. This location is in a, "old", shall we say? strip mall, and the area can be a bit seedy. There's plenty of parking available, though, and ingress and egress is easy. read more

Joy Sushi - Fresh roll, calamari and edamame - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

We've only been here once so far but will for sure be back because the sushi was delicious! My husband and I ordered 4 rolls and went home stuffed. The restaurant itself isn't the biggest but we came in a bit early for dinner (around 5pm) and had no issues being seated right away. Despite the consistent stream of to-go pick ups, they were quick to bring everything out. read more

Joy Sushi - California Roll, Shogun Roll, Crunch Rainbow Roll - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I was in town for a couple hours and stopped by this little spot and I will say it definitely VERY VERY satisfying. I got the Shogun, Dragon Roll, seaweed salad and Yakitori appetizer. The "shogun" was suuupppeeer delicious. "It's huge! Dragon roll was authentic "I loved it". Seaweed salad was little less fresh than I expected but still ok. The Yakitori was super fresh and super delicious. Soooo much flavors and very satisfying. I will definitely come back when I'm back in town again! Staff are very lovely and very kind.. read more

My first visit. We ordered appetizers and rolls. Fried Calamari, Gyoza, Miso soup, Shogun roll, Baked Lobster Roll, Fire Lion King Roll Pros: All food was alright Baked lobster roll was good Great service Cons: 1. While all the rolls were decent they were kind of similar to each other in taste. 2. Each roll was just so huge it was not possible to eat in one bite. Biting into them was difficult because nori sheets don't break that easy creating a mess. I prefer more compact rolls.It was not easy to even grab a roll with chopsticks because they were way too big 3. Rolls were just excessively rich in taste. Too much sauce. Not very balanced 4. Fried Calamari were too greasy 5. Very pricey considering all of the above. read more

I was looking forward to this meal. It's in a weird collection of strip mall stores. But some of the best sushi I've had has been in a strip mall, so based on the reviews I was expecting this place to be good. I cannot understand the high scores. The quality of the fish is very low. The tuna, salmon, yellowtail were spongy and water-soaked, certainly frozen. The yellowtail was off, and it's my very favorite--I had to spit it into a napkin. TMI, I know. The picture is of the fish we couldn't eat because it was waterlogged and tasteless. I'm going to feed it to the crows. They'll think it's super. If you love sushi, and are used to quality fish, this is not the place for you. Also, it's not cheap, however the slices of fish are ginormous (too big). Maybe that's why people like it. It's definitely quantity over quality. One outstanding thing--the couple operating the restaurant are super nice--I wish I was able to write a good review. I'm writing this one because the good reviews are very misleading. read more

Was hoping for a good sushi experience given the ratings and lack of decent sushi spots in the area. Unfortunately I must have been on the worst end of their inconsistency mentioned in reviews. Ordered a few pieces of nigiri and shrimp tempura roll and got really sick. The sushi was not that fresh and the chefs were yelling at each other in the back (usually a bad sign). Steer clear. read more

We were looking for a new experience and stumbled upon Joy Sushi while cruising down 4th Plain. We had a wonderful experience. A family operation, their mantra is upping the customer experience and bringing joy to each visitor who comes through the door. Jessica and her family have done an excellent job on that front, and the food complements their dedication perfectly. Fresh, tasty, and a great menu variety that isn't too bloated with an overpowering list of items. Sushi dishes were some of the best in Vancouver. They even have a dessert sushi roll called sweet angel. A must try! Lanzhou soup was some of the best we ever had. Broth was clear and tasty and meat was cooked perfectly. Lots of love and dedication going into their dishes and cannot recommend them enough...and they have great xia long bao! Will be going in again this week! Thank you, Joy Sushi! You are very much appreciated here in Vancouver. Update, April 2022. New owners but same great food and service with a worked over menu. Some additional goodies and sushi boats! The Szechuan chicken appetizer is to die for. Make sure you get rice with it. read more

Finally found a good sushi place in Vancouver. The spicy rolls have a sweet sauce too. Which is tasty but not typical of Japanese sushi. The pieces are fresh and big. It's become a regular favorite of our family. read more

Food is prepared with care. Sushi is fresh and ramen/udon is a nice addition. It's been our go to spot for these dishes because it appears to be the most authentic and tastes so darn good. We usually get the Bruce Lee roll because it's the right amount of spicy and still able to taste the flavor of the ahi and imitation crab. Serving staff are always pleasant and attentive. And it's a nice small location where you can enjoy a date night or gals brunch/dinner. It is $$ but you pay for quality. read more

I love my sushi, especially when they come in a boat! Super fast and friendly service. We got all our rolls within 15 mins and they're very fresh and delicious. They've got some creative roll creation like ones with beetroot and ginger, as well as more classic ones. Generous portion of fresh fish in all the rolls that we got. Pretty fatty salmon was used. Totally worth giving it a try! read more

In all honesty, this is more of a 4.5/5. The pricing is tough to swallow but they made a great effort in customer service including getting the door for every single guest after they left. Joy Sushi seems to be a new place around town and with good reviews on Yelp and Google, we got in the car to go check it out. We ordered the ninja roll, shrimp tempura, Vegas roll, salmon roll, and rainbow rolls. The sushi here is pretty good but I feel like at the price point, they are competing with some heavy hitters including Mio Sushi. The fried stuff was really good. The Vegas was a nice touch of fresh with the tempura matter to ask some crispness. The shrimp tempura was small but also good. Thumbs down on not having tempura sauce; they served with sweet and sour instead. The salmon roll a bit of a miss for me. It was basically a California roll with a sliver of salmon. The rainbow roll and ninja rolls were good with no additional comments. All in all, the service is good here. I'm not sure if it is because they are new, but the staff is ambitious and willing to serve above and beyond. I do wish they would get the price a little more in the realistic ball park. Until that happens, it is going to be a tough case for a lot of diners. read more

I have eaten a LOT of sushi in my life. I'm originally from Los Angeles, and I've had everything from grocery store slices to famous eateries with hilltop city views. Imagine my surprise when Joy Sushi beats them all. I'm a salmon aficionado and the salmon nigiri here is nearly the size of a lobster tail, and so sweet and buttery. The slices of sashimi (which I didn't get a picture of because I was immediately eating it) were artfully arranged, and each slice was honestly the size of a full filet of fish in itself. The miso was hot, dark, and savory, with plenty of tofu and seaweed. The rolls were well constructed, especially the Rainbow Naruto roll was very refreshing and crisp. Our waitress mentioned the cucumber had just come in, and we could tell. Extremely fresh. We came on a Saturday at dinner and we were one of three couples in the restaurant, there are maybe 12 tables, half of which are booths. Service was incredibly prompt, kind, and conversational. Prices were MORE than reasonable for the portion sizes you get. We won't be going to any other sushi place than Joy Sushi. Five stars! read more

Fantastic food experience! I enjoyed the experience here and loved every minute of it with my husband. For our anniversary weekend finding new places to eat this hit the spot. The service was good too. As we showed up right when they opened. We ordered Baked Lobster Roll, Fire Lion King roll, and Seahawk Roll. Now in that order are my favorites. For the portion size it's perfect! Meant for two people for sure. We had no idea what we were walking into either. But DEFIANTLY coming back for sure! read more

Great food and certainly the reviews were spot on! Taking my nephew, his wife and son out for lunch and we were so happy to have found this gem in Vancouver! The wait times were reasonable and the drinks refilled as needed. The sushi was very well prepared and we even had a smoke show on our boat! I am sure I ate too much but every dish was meticulously made and super fresh! Now I just keep looking for an excuse to go back to Vancouver! read more

Joy Sushi - Sushi Boat and spicy tuna rolls on the left!!! - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

So...a few things to consider. One, I recommend taking your order to go. The "ambiance" is not exactly made for sushi eating. Lots of excess storage boxes within sight. Music is not very relaxing. Can't recall the lighting, but I felt I was eating under autopsy lights. Having said all this, I'm not sure who or where my sushi "chef" is. Whoever is preparing my raw fish is nowhere in sight. He or she or they or someone is prepping my nigiri behind a wall. Call me silly, but I like to be able to see the fish my chef is preparing, either at a counter or at least visible from my table. Not here! Doesn't really feel like a sushi restaurant when the "mystery sushi chef" is behind the curtain behind the wall behind a stack of paper towel boxes. So there's that. However, the fish is decent. And rather large pieces. So if this is your jam, you should be fine. Service is ok. Just enough to get by. Seems they do a lot of to go orders which I understand because we're not setting foot in there again. read more

Vancouver sushi restaurant gem. It's a must visit! Delicious sushi. Supreme service. The restaurant itself could be described as humble, cozy and casual? It's quiet and can be date night, treat yourself to a dinner for 1 or just hanging out with friends/family. I saw the Tonkotsu Ramen - I am so excited to order a bowl on a future visit. This visit: Vegetable sushi roll - bright and flavorful roll. I am already planning for when I will return for this. Salmon sauté roll - heavy roll, cumbersome to eat, ideal for sharing. Could be an appetizer. Seared salmon nigiri - full of flavor wonderful sear, I enjoyed this with ponzu sauce Avocado boat - delicious but not something I would order alone. read more
