Their chicken teriyaki was nice and tender. The udon stir fry was so good and flavorful. Their yam tempura roll was very enjoyable and the salmon sushi was tasty. The rolls had a good filling to rice ratio. However, I did find that the tuna didn't seem to be the freshest quality. Prices here are very reasonable and portions are good too. read more

The food is wonderful, but DO NOT order take out through their website. Use UberEats or another service. We ordered food at 1700 one Sunday evening using the delivery service on their website. Food still had not arrived at 1845! So I drove and picked it up myself. The restaurant staff could have cared less. "Not our problem. Call the delivery service." Of course, the phone number for the delivery service was out of service. The delivery charge was $25 or of the food cost. Caveat emptor!!! read more

Of all the sushi places in the area, this one seems like the nicest restaurant inside. The ceilings are at least 30 feet, and the decor is great. It has a great expensive feeling. The menu is fairly extensive. For lunch, I think either the combo deal or the bento boxes are the way to go. it's really nice to be able to get a lunch deal that includes your choice of three completely varied items at a reasonable price. The quality and variety of fish is excellent. Service was prompt and efficient, and everything was delicious. This is a new favorite in the neighborhood. read more

The restaurant itself has a nice ambiance, but it's on the quieter side. I'm not sure if it's busier during lunch time. I ordered the set of sashimi, tempura, miso soup, salad and rice. The food itself was fine and sashimi was fresh. A bit on the pricier side, but that's expected for the location. I would come back. read more

I came for a late sunday lunch. Place was super quiet and empty. Service was fine. They have reasonably priced lunch combos, esp for this neighborhood. food was very average as far as Vancouver sushi goes - nothing spectacular, nothing particularly bad. Sashimi - cut a bit too thick for me tempura - pretty standard, nothing spectacular teriyaki beef - average, light on the beef gomae - sauce a bit too sweet for me udon soup - dont expect fresh handmade udon - this is as plain as it gets with premade noodles cali roll - average miso soup - bland and watery place was clean enough. Nothing about this place stands out. But its good enough that I would come back for a casual sushi meal simply because there arent many casual sushi places around here for a quick meal. This is not a date place or a place i would go out of my way to eat at. Parking on the street (metered) or in the paid lots nearby. read more

Always my go to for a delicious and casual evening meal. The salad , smoked cod and gomae are some of my favs. The cod literally melts in your mouth! A must try read more

I usually go to the location along kingsway so i was pleasantly suprised to find that they also have a location here. The food price is reasonable for sushi and the service is lacking depending on the time of day you go because they may be short-staffed. The foodhere is pretty decent. I ordered the tuna avocado roll, snowy california roll and house roll. All were pretty good and had a balance of filling to rice ratio. It's a good spot for lunch but there is nothing standout about it. read more

A pretty decent spot. There was nothing too special about it. The seafood parts of a roll were generous in the tuna maki roll. The california and dynamite rolls are bigger than usual. If there is a BOGO offer like there was for me on uber eats go ahead if you want a cheap eat If its on full price, I would rather get sushi elsewhere. There is so many sushi spots in the city and this one is average or slightly below average read more

This is a good place for take out or dine in. The food and service is good. This isn't somewhere I'd suggest for a special occasion, but it's a good casual sushi option! #ContestEntry read more

Amazing food and service! Super fresh sashimi sourced from the best. Impressive aburi sushi! read more

The service is good and the lunch special is reasonable price. Yakisoba is a little over cooked but other than that everything tastes good. read more

We love sushi, but unfortunately food is really mediocre here. The chicken in the chicken teriyaki was very fatty, and the sauce tasted like syrup. The spicy tuna roll and tuna avocado rolls were tasteless. The tuna tataki sauce was really sour. Ambiance and service are both good, but there's a reason why this restaurant is always empty. Food is just not good. read more

Food is great and prices are very reasonable, especially for downtown. THe service isn't amazing, but it hasn't stopped me from coming back!

This place has the best tofu teriyaki I've ever had. I've eaten here five times and it's been delicious every time: it's large blocks of tofu in a delicious sauce, on a bed of cabbage, served sizzling hot. My dining companions order either the chicken teriyaki lunch box or the American roll, and they report that everything is delicious. read more

I was so overwhelmingly disappointed with the food here. I thought I'd give this place a try since I was just a block away and eating here ruined my whole afternoon. I order the "Aburi Sockeye Salmon Hako Sushi", and anyone who has ever had aburi sushi knows what it is. Aburi is flame SEARED and hako just refers to the box shape. The photo in the menu shows 6 pieces of nice looking aburi and at $18 I thought this would be delicious. When it came out I was in utter shock. They gave me 4 huge chunks of rice with FULLY COOKED pieces of salmon on it and called it aburi. I asked the server 2 times once before we touched the food and another time when we paid to confirm this was the dish from the menu, aburi sushi, and both times she said yes. I've never felt so ripped off in my life, the worst part is it didn't even taste good. I can name countless sushi places where you can get real aburi at a much much better price. WARNING stay away from here, this is a overpriced restaurant masquerading as a fancy place but serves terrible food. TDLR; Menu displays more pieces than actually given, not aburi just fully cooked chunks of fish, terrible taste and OVERPRICED. read more

It doesn't look like a big restaurant from the outside, but this place is spacious and nicely decorated. The sashimi and sushi are fresh and taste amazing! I tried the volcano, caterpillar and house roll. Definitely try the fried ice cream and you won't be disappointed. It is a big desert! Customer service is also great. Will definitely come back :) read more

Service was good and the food came out fast. Presentation of the restaurant and food itself was quite nice. Got a mix of sushi/maki and it was all solid, albeit very standard sushi. Alaska roll was tasty but a bit too saucy, and the Dynamite roll was a bit loose. Prices are fair. read more

I dare you to find a piece of nigiri more beautiful than the salmon belly . I love sashimi but sometimes you just need rice with a meal, but not too much, in that case I recommend trying a roll to see how good a restaurant is. Anyone can buy expensive fish and it'll be good, but tight rolls with minimal rice is how I like to judge. . Food for Thought: Sushi rice is typically made with short grained rice, why? The higher starch content allows it to become sticker. In terms of baking, I like to think of the stickiest eqiuvalent to how gluten formed by water and wheat flour. Gluten is a water-soluble protein however. The difference is, while gluten is responsible for the springness in sourdoughs and breads, the stickness of sushi rice does not contain gluten, which my Celiac friends know very well. If someone tell you that your carbs don't contain proteins, reassure them you're making gains too . The vinegar in sushi rice is effective for your health as well, but that's another story for another time. I've been working full hours everyday, so thanks for the private messages saying you guys like the Food for Thought health and nutrition facts , I love food because we all have different relationships with it and its accessible knowledge. Have a great weekend friends. Food Review: Working downtown this summer has been such a blessing, everywhere is honestly gorgeous. When walking into the restaurant you know you're in for a quality lunch just by the decor and service. I just wished I had gone when I was hungrier. While this restaurant didn't blow me away, it lived up to my expectation and went above and beyond my expectations in terms of service. I literally tipped like 20%. . Quality: Ambiance: Service: read more

On a cold winter evening to catch up with a friend we decided to give this place a try. There used to be another sushi joint here which shut down a couple of months ago. The decor looks exactly the same, the staff not as friendly but with a more affordable menu. You can see my review for the place that shut down by searching for the same address. We ordered two Salmon Aburi rolls which would just melt in your mouth. The spicy tuna roll was not that impressive so wouldn't order it again. Overall, I like the Aburi selection of rolls and will be back to try more from this menu. read more

Average sushi... bad service. We were looking forward to trying out this place as there are limited sushi options downtown ... We ordered the large uni sashimi only to find that it came with four pieces, when questioning them after, the waitress told us it should come with eight and offered to bring us an additional four pieces, which we accepted. Unfortunately, the sushi chef/owner claimed we were given eight pieces that were stacked on top of each other (they were quite large but clearly not "doubles") and refused us a refund or additional pieces. Not wanting to get into an argument with the sushi chef we decided to leave, though looking back we should've made more of a fuss. The rest of our order came with less drama (tuna sashimi, assorted nigiri, house roll) - maybe slightly on the less fresh side but very serviceable... however the uni mishap left us very disappointed. Questionable business ethics make me unable to recommend anyone to go here - though if you want to play with fire they have 15% happy hour. read more

Pretty underrated. Maybe due to several change of managements in the past few years. Huge menu. Pretty much all appetizers and traditional Japanese dishes are spot on. Maybe one of the best Miso soups in town. Salmon Teriyaki dish and chicken Yakitori were great also. read more

This waitress with black glasses is racist and rude. She speaks Chinese is to me without knowing if I'm a Chinese speaker or not. And she ignored me twice to serve white customers in priority. And she is an Asian woman too. The restaurant took the liberty of changing my order, and refused to apologize. I ordered takowasabi online, turned out it is not available. They didn't tell me in advance and changed it to baby tako without my permission. I arrived and ask her to change the order to something else(I don't like baby tako at all), she use the word "唧唧歪歪" in Chinese which means I'm making a scene. This is super insulting. And when I mentioned that you should call me first and this is making extra waiting time, she replied:"you didn't wait that long." And I waited for about 30 minutes already?? She also blames her co-work and her shift to me, she told me the only one working today. This is very understandable BUT only if you tell me nicely. It is not my fault that you hate your job. I used to be a royal customer and Kiku used to be my favorite sushi place in my neighborhood, this experience just blows my freaking mind. read more

Great value, with large, tasty, well-prepared sushi. Attentive service in spaciousness environment.

The sushi is delicious and refreshing I don't know how people can give them a review under 5 stars or 4 stars and if you do your musta been grumpy that day It is beautifully decorated the food refreshes you foe the day ahead it is really good and I have been there about 2 or 3 times the food is nicely represented and I feel good afterwards They give you very good proportions of food and it is huge! read more

Great sushi and location! I like the care in presentation (see photos). The service was exceptional - almost too much, Lol. The wait staff very frequently asked to refill tea, so the service was very attentivand there was plenty of chance to order more if we wanted. I just ordered a simple tuna and salmon combo, but even that had nice presentation and was yummy. The fried ice cream presented well, but was not particularly outstanding. Some other desserts looked better. I will likely go back. read more

I cannot say enough about how terrible this restaurant was. Without a doubt one of my worst dining experiences in memory. There was one waitress running entire restaurant and the take out service. The phones never stopped ringing, endlessly, loud, no respite. No music. zero ambience, just endless loud phones ringing and a waitress who couldn't possibly accommodate. We sat for a good 15 minutes before we were actually approached and then another while to get just a glass of water. 25 minutes and then our order was taken. Should have known then to leave. My partner after 50 minutes went up to get a beer we ordered. As for food the tuna tataki was a joke it was ice cold with the hint of a sear, I mean you could have breathed on it and would have been better. The Dragon roll, falling apart and overdressed. I did not receive two of my dishes, over an hour had passed. You are forewarned. read more

Great service, sushi came out very quickly! The tofu teriyaki was hot and fresh; super tasty. Inside the restaurant is quite nice too, very spacious and not your typical crammed sushi place. Good balance of quality sushi at a good price with a nice dine-in atmosphere. I will definitely be back. read more

Ordered DF California roll it was pretty tasty but also ordered chicken Yaki udon it was very strange rice noodles that you would find in Thai dishes not the thick udon noodles was very greasy not good at all I would skip anything other then sushi read more

Usually give new places a try and have ordered out a few times and quite happy with the food....a few weeks ago I ordered take out (sashimi dinner box) and became quite ill. I did call the next day to tell them and received a very ho hum response and they did promise to have a manager call. No call. won't be back read more

I do not understand the 3 star average rating. The food and value are excellent. I had the Chicken Teriyaki and my wife had sushi. All food was delicious with high marks for presentation. The rainbow roll was simply a work of art. I have been to several Japanese places on Denmen, but I highly recommend going here. read more

The food was pretty good and the place was nice & clean but the lady who served us had a grumpy attitude. We were not greeted with a smile at the door but a rude greeting to measure our temperature. Really didn't want to leave her a tip but I did and regret. There was not a single thank you or bye come again when we left. I wouldn't go back again! read more
