Me and my friends were looking for a sushi dinner spot after our afternoon hike in the hills. And we found this place on Yelp (my usual app) and called if they were opened for dine in. Surprisingly, they were open! Me and my friends were so happy, so we told them a party of 4 people were coming and they were ready for us! We came around June, during the pandemic, and we were still in the "safety" mode of wearing mask, and cleaning ourselves with alcohol wipes. I loved how the restaurant purposely set up for pick up for food and on top of that, inside they were ready to take only a couple tables of people for dine-in. I love the atmosphere of the venue, and their placement of the tables to keep a safety distance. This was the first time back to eating sushi from a couple months of staying at home, and surprisingly, a sushi joint out here in Maple Ridge satisfied our cravings! The special rolls were so delicious, and competitively priced as well! I ordered 3 special rolls myself, and my friend ordered a don, and something else. It has been a while, but I remembered their rolls were perfectly rolled, and topped off with such amazing ingredients. More like, I was surprised a place like in Maple Ridge had such an iconic spot!! If I am caught out here again with my friends or something, I will be dropping by again for some sushi~!! :)

What a hidden sushi gem in Maple Ridge!! Very fresh ingredients and felt very safe dining here during covid. The quality was comparable to some of the downtown sushi restaurants that I've gotten a chance to try.

I've tried most of the menu everything I've had is delicious! The service is fast and the staff are friendly even when doing takeout. And the decor is nice and modern

After reading the glowing reviews here and on Facebook my husband and I tried Kisoji this evening so I could give it another chance and honestly, it gets an overwhelming "Meh." from us. The service was good, the waiter was polite. The prices are pretty much average. The food was average at best, with the exception of the beef yakisoba which was probably the best yakisoba either of us have ever had. But overall, the food wasn't completely terrible, but it also wasn't good. We tried the Negihama roll because it sounded delicious but it was definitely not to our liking, it was incredibly fishy. I compared the flavour to that of tinned kippers, not even wasabi could tame the fishy flavour. We couldn't finish it, well, we didn't want to. The atmosphere also didn't work for us, it has a very Vancouver hipster feel; very industrial and modern, very, very open seating and as suburbanite parents in our mid/late 30's just out for a date night, it just wasn't our scene. We try to keep our money in Pitt Meadows as it's where we are raising our family, but we just didn't enjoy the experience and will not be going back.

Kisoji is Pitt Meadows newest sushi place. With four other sushi places in the area it is certainly the nicest. The interior is one of the best I've seen of any Japanese restaurant. The service from the hostess was excellent. The sushi is inexpensive but the quality is moderate. I can't complain as the food is tasty, but the over use of imitation crab and filler is disappointing. It is typical of the sushi in the area but I was hoping for more. This place has potential. Just would like to see more custom rolls with fresher ingredients. I'm sure I'll eat here plenty of times when I'm looking for a quick meal. It's a tough place to rate. Somewhere between a 3 and 4 star place. Check it out if you are in the area. It's worth a try.

The family stopped by for an early dinner. It was a beautiful day with sunshine and cloudy skies,…read moreslight breeze. The frontside out door dining area were fairly occupied but a handful of empty tables were available. I ordered 4 savory fried oysters and clam chowder. I've had the oysters before and they did were as good as I remembered. They were delicious! I was thinking of ordering more but could not eat anymore after half the clam chowder. The beer was a perfect match. Very satisfied and eager to come back for more.

You go up to the counter and order before receiving a number and finding a seat. We ordered the bread and butter, Oyster Chowder, and 16 grilled oysters since they did not have raw ones available at the time. Keep in mind it was a cold day so our food cooled down rather quickly. The bread and butter were alright, the bread was on the tough side and the butter had a simple flavor to it. Was hard to spread due to the cold. The bread would probably be much better if it stayed toasty. The oyster chowder had really good Smokey taste and flavor. Was good to dip the bread in but was a bit more watery than our liking but that is a preference. All 4 flavors of our baked oysters were fantastic. Ranking our 4, I'd say coconut curry was our favorite, then simple, spicy lime, then savory. The oysters have great meaty flavor and are mid sized. They aren't too briny and oceany so the sauce/flavorings pair very well. Overall was a nice little place in the town.

I'm not usually an oyster person, but my doctor had actually told me to eat them to boost my iron levels , so I decided to join in. What I appreciated most was the huge variety on offer, easily the most I've ever seen. Ordering different varieties let us taste the nuances in flavour and texture between them. At the end of the day, oysters still aren't my thing, but it was a genuinely interesting experience, and they pair well with a NZ Sauvignon Blanc ($57). We also really enjoyed the tuna tartare ($21) and the parmesan fries ($12). Service was friendly without being overbearing, and although the place got quite noisy, we could still hold a conversation. All in all, it's great value during happy hour, the seafood is very fresh, and the (white) wine list is solid. Highly recommended if you're a seafood fan.

was looking forward to this spot but was kinda disappointed? i guess it just wasnt the spot for us…read more upon entering i noticed it was a busy night n so we waited for the host, who eventually walked up and stared at me until i said that i had a reservation. i hate to feel karen like but even a minor greeting is part of a host job i think. im sure he may have been quite busy or something but it definitely threw us off a tiny bit. the food overall was okay but nothing that i thought was worth the hype.. maybe we picked bad choices? i dont know. we were also sat at this awkward hightop/bench seating where my back was practically touching the girl around the corner, and we were super close to the table next to us. otherwise, the server was very nice and she had a good attitude. i think we expected to be wowed here but i guess it just wasnt our spot - oysters (im allergic to raw ones but family had it) - were reportedly good, nothing crazy apparently - seacuterie half with smoked scallops, prawns, mussel or oyster dip i think - overall was okay. the prawns were the only mere standout. there were good vegetable dressings that we enjoyed, but we felt like the chips tasted bland and kinda old - fish and chips - was good, fish was not dry, big amount of fries - fish tacos - okay for the price. nothing standout about it. was hoping for more sauce or the fish to be a littleee less dry - scallops and pork - as a whole none of us were very much fond of the scallops taste. the sauce was too herby and not in a refreshing way? just kinda off. they were cooked well it was just unfortunate about the taste. the pork was also cooked well but with an okay sauce.

We decided to stay in Squamish after a day in Whistler. Looked around online for some dinner ideas…read moreand settled on the Salted Vine. Our AirBnB hosts listed it as the only 5-star restaurant in town so we made a last minute reservation, which they graciously accommodated. What a great choice! First impressions don't convey 5-star, but once we settled in, the cozy and casual ambience was perfect. They have an extensive cocktail and wine list and we dove into the cocktail section. Really smart and interesting selection - would've loved to try more than two. We had a featured appetizer - an heirloom tomato salad with goats cheese and gazpacho dressing. Fresh, well presented and delicious. We also ordered the bread with lemon butter and olive oil. The multigrain bread was fantastic! For mains, I had the kobe beef and my partner had the meatballs with a side of roasted carrots. The beef melted in my mouth and the chimichurri sauce was possibly the best I've had. The meatballs and carrots had a decidedly north african flavour profile and were beautiful and balanced. Their menu is fantastic - if we lived nearby we would return to try almost everything. So glad we didn't stay to eat dinner in way-too-touristy Whistler or we would've missed out on this gem.

Delicious food, but the service was so slow! We had to wait almost 2 hours for our meal. We were…read moreso hungry that we couldn't even focus on conversation and enjoy the meal. The restaurant was less than half full at the time, so it wasn't that they were overly busy. Very disappointing.

They were able to accommodate a fairly large group. What I had: Raspberry lemonade: It was nicely presented, but VERY lemon forward. They served us salad to share, which was nice and fresh. I ordered the salmon, which came with greens and potatoes. The skin was crisp and the meat was nice, juicy and tender. They gave us a slice of carrot cake for dessert and it was the best carrot cake I've had! It literally melted in your mouth! The icing was divine!

After a visit to Shannon Falls, I was wondering if I should grab lunch in Squamish or in Whistler…read more I was checking OpenTable, and saw Autostrada nearby at Britannia Beach. I've been to an Autostrada location Vancouver before, and remembered liking it, so decided to back track back to Britannia Beach for lunch. I've been to Britannia Mine Museum before, but I guess I haven't been in the area for awhile, because I don't remember the Britannia Village. It looks very new. Walking up to Autostrada, I was really impressed how they blended the historical heritage of the area with a modern, open airy interior. Very welcoming, and beautiful on a warm, sunny day. We were seated fairly quickly and got our menus. I tried the following: - BC Albacore Tuna Crudo: Very good. Fresh, and really well balanced. The almonds added texture, the olives added saltiness, and the grapefruit added acidity. Individually, I'm not a fan of these ingredients, but together it made a great dish. - Grilled Chicken Sandwich: Good. I'm always wary of grilled chicken, because it's often made dry and becomes a chore to eat. But they do it right here, they pound it thin so they cook thoroughly without overcooking . They use a less dense bread, so the sandwich is just right without being overly heavy. - Moules-Frites: Good. The serving of mussels was bigger than average, and each mussel was large and plump. Fries were pretty good. - Osteria Bolognese: Very good. Perfectly cooked, al-dente. Sauce was deep and savoury. Service was generally good. Our server was timely and attentive but a smile or two would've made us feel a bit more welcome. Overall, this was a really pleasant surprise. High quality food in a new and beautiful space. I would definitely consider this a good food stop between Vancouver and Squamish/Whistler.

And while there are no shortage of seafood restaurants serving fresh crab on the Steveston waterfront, we wanted to give The Crab King a fair shake. I'm so glad that we did! My wife ordered a King Crab for herself which, after tearing it literally limb-from-limb, eventually declared it to be tied for her favorite boiled crab dish anywhere! High praise coming from such a consummate crustacean connoisseur! For myself and our son, an order of fish and chips, and the grilled chicken sandwich rounded out our order, both of which were crispy, tasty and delicious. Regarding the fish and chips, they appeared to be tempura-battered, and I'm still not 100% sure what type of fish it was. It may have been cod, but it seemed more like catfish, but either way, it was tender, juicy, flaky and delicious. No complaints here! More than anything, though, the employees here went out of their way to make our experience enjoyable. Our toddler son, who is normally extremely well-behaved in restaurants, was having a bit of a fuss here and there. Without prompting, the servers brought us a little radio to play music for him, as well as a couple of toys to play with, one of them being a wind-up truck that they gave to him to take home! He loved it there, and still plays with it at home! They even played peek-a-boo with him from behind the counter, soliciting laughs and giggles, for the better part of 15 minutes! That sort of customer service is nearly impossible to find, and should be praised and cherished wherever it is found! Whatever the past may have held for this restaurant, the Crab King is an entirely new animal now, serving up fresh seafood by uncommonly wonderful employees, in a fantastic floating location. They even offer to cook spot prawns and other seafood purchased from the boats docked at the nearby waterfront marketplace, for a modest fee. With all these things going for it, there's no doubt who wears the crown of Crab King in Steveston Harbor!
