Great little mom & pop run sushi house on Commercial Dr near Grandview Hwy/12th Ave. Speaking to the staff, they advised that they do mostly take out...which is understandable with homeless people out front of a liquor store a few businesses away begging for change. But I was there for the sushi...and there are plenty of options on the menu. There was an any 3 items for $16.95 but I opted for the Maki B Combo with California roll, tuna roll and salmon roll. Good deal for $13.50 with miso soup. Food came out pretty quick and I liked that there was very little rice used around the California roll. The taste and presentation were as expected and service was great. It was a positive food experience. read more

Eating in not recommended due to loud TV and no temperature control. But food is excellent, the special (no mayo) veggie rolls are perfection and service is attentive. Food tastes very fresh. read more

There was a worm in my sashimi salad. The salad was $10. I asked if I could get a salmon oishi $12 and took them months and many, many called to reach the manager to give me the $2 off for my troubles. It was like pulling teeth. Don't get parasites from eating here. Horrible service. Traumatic. read more

Came here for a sushi snack after reading about the place. Parking is available in the evenings along Commercial, as well as Grandview. During the day, I have no idea where you'd park. Maybe up on the sidewalk. The inside is quite cozy, and nice and quiet. Staff are actually Chinese, not Japanese. With that said, the food is reasonably priced. $6.75 for 3 items (rolls, maki, or cones) and a miso soup. You won't get yourself completely stuffed, but it's a half-decent deal. More important, the quality is good here. My friend and I were happy. Great for when you're in the area and want your fix. read more

I love their style of teriyaki but the rice it came with was wet. I ordered a side rice which was wet as well. The dynamite roll was a little warm, but the prawn tempura was crispy. I might try again, hopefully the rice was a one off. read more

Love this place! It's a pretty small place but it definitely satifies my cravings!! I've been here at least 5-6 times now? Their takoyaki is yummy!! Their naruto special roll tastes very interesting (I still personally like it) It was a very interesting flavour! It has mango slices in it. I recently tried their salmon sashimi don which was really good! Good service! Whenever I'm at sushi places I look for how often they refill your tea/water -- The lady refilled my tea. I got my food in a span of 10mins or less. I've had their chicken karaage here, and I don't think it came with any sauce and I've tasted better. So for appey I suggest getting the takoyaki or gyzoa! Whenever i'm here I notice a lot of people order take out and like I said service is quick. I'm obviously coming back every once in awhile! Oh ya p.s. their teriyaki bento boxes are yummy too! read more

Walked by one Friday afternoon in July to give it a go. Ordered $30 worth of rolls and nigiri and couldn't finish it all. That's a first. The sushi was above average, well presented. Price and quality is good. You get good portions for your $$$. Came every Friday in July as I am in the neighbourhood and was never disappointed. Ordered less than the first visit and left satisfied every time. This is a great place for a quick meal for around $20 for big eaters. For the price......quality and service are right on. Brought my 10 year old for lunch for her opinion. We eat sushi every week and have been to most places. She liked it. The 3 item combo was barely finished by her. It was perfect. Yeah I could go to other places and spend triple the amount of $$$ for another level of sushi, but this place is the best on Commercial for what it's doing. read more

Ordered spicy salmon sashimi through Skip. What arrived could barely be considered a half order at a normal restaurant not run by insane people; the sashimi in the photo cost $9. I'm suspicious this restaurant thinks they can get away with skimping out on portion sizes for takeout orders. I can't imagine they would pull this crap with someone dining in. read more

Naruto Sushi - What $9 gets you - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

My very first experience ordering from this restaurant was great.. I was excited to finally find a good sushi restaurant close to my house and I found the rolls to be delicious and the service to be quite fast. The second time I ordered, they missed including one of my appetizers that I had paid for. They called me and offered to drive it out to me which was nice, but I thought that would be a waste of their time/waste of their drivers time for a $5 appetizer that would likely be cold by the time it arrived to us. So they said they'd issue me a credit under my phone number to discount my next order. Fine, not a big deal. The third time I ordered (last night) will be the last time ordering from Naruto. I ordered a JJ roll amongst another combo roll and upon taking my very first bite of the JJ roll, my teeth bit down on something hard and unpleasant and foreign. I inspected the roll that I had just bit into and found a small PEBBLE. A stone. A rock. In my sushi roll. I was so grossed out that I couldn't eat the rest of the rolls. I could have cracked a tooth, and WHY would there be a freaking pebble in my food? I suggest they be more thorough with their food quality control so this doesn't happen to someone else. read more

Decent little spot on the drive. The staff was friendly and attentive, the portions were generous and I could not finish what I normally can in another restaurant, so if you come here, be hungry! The nigiri sushi was wonderful since I prefer more fish than rice, everything was fresh and the seaweed was not soggy but nice and crisp. I also liked how they presented the Tuna Tataki and the sauce that went with it. Very pretty. Their rolls are very generous with both filling and the balance of rice when I had the Spicy Salmon roll. I prefer more filling than rice, and this is what I got here. I will return. :) read more

Came for takeout awhile ago and was very pleased with the special roll (lauren roll) which had all my favourites for a good price. There was also some tempura bits in the spicy tuna which makes it a little bit oilier than usual but still tasty! Overall, would love to come for a visit again soon and try their lunch specials! read more

Amazing! Though they were extremely busy with pickup orders the staff were kind and patient. We had the Naruto Roll, Pressed Sockeye salmon Oushi and the Philly Roll. I've had a more flavourful Philly roll before, but it was still good. The Naruto Roll and Sockeye salmon Oushi were amazing. I ordered more the next night. They also have gluten free soy sauce! read more

Came here for a second time in the afternoon. Last time I got their special(3 rolls with salad and soup for $6.99) which was delicious and filling.

Not bad. The miso soup didn't have much flavour and some of the rolls weren't rolled tight, so they sort of fell apart. Maybe the wrong rice? Not bad, though. read more

As per general yelper's review, didnt disappoint me. Good sashimi, rolls and price. Only disappointed at the tempura sauce kinda bland for my salty tongue :P Don't expect service to be super attentitive for this is a small family style restaurant with only couple of people working :) not enough to bug me though. Would recommend :) read more

Oh goodness, this place is SO GOOD. They have changed the spicy tuna and spicy salmon, and it's not hands-down the best in Vancouver. Spicy tempura bits mixed into the roll instead of the old spicy sauce. I am blown away with how good this tastes. read more

Atmosphere: Lots of seating inside, nothing fancy, however, clean Price: Market value Customer Service: Friendly. Items came out in a respectable manner. Food: I didn't have as bad of experience as everyone else mainly 'cause I kept it simple and to the point. Avocado sushi and veggie roll no mayo. Both were decent and as expected. read more

Great little restaurant. Cozy, amazing staff. My nephew spilt miso soup. The server was kind and helped with the mop up. One less star as they charged us for replacement miso soup :( Overall great food and especially the special 3 items for $11.50. Amazing deal and yum! read more

I have never been inside the store before and have only ordered delivery. Delivery is free from their website, if you order over $25 and are within a certain radius of their restaurant. The food itself is fairly priced. It is probably considered to be on the cheaper end, definitely worth it if you want good quality sushi that is filling and won't make you go broke. It does not totally stand out among other sushi restaurants around Commercial Drive, but it absolutely is not one you'd want to avoid. If you live around the area and want it to delivered to yourself, even better! I'd say have a try. read more

Updating this again. I don't live in Vancouver anymore so I can't visit this place as often as I used to. But coming back to visit, the food has improved again back to its original quality. Rice, wasabi, fish are all fresh and leave no ocean taste in the mouth the way Commercial Sushi sometimes does. Also the service is now exceptionally wonderful. Love it. read more

I love take out from this neighbourhood joint. The customer service via phone was outstanding. Friendly, polite and attentive. Food came fresh and hot. Yaki soba was delicious, sushi rolls were fresh and sashimi was great. Tuna was a bit frozen. Miso soup must be reheated on the stove if you want it pipping hot. Overall Saturday night delivery at 8 pm at our place by 8:45. We enjoyed it and will go back again! For the price on point, fresh food, excellent service. Note. If I wanted to dine out...I would got to sushi Nanaimo. Kishamoto... This is a quick, cheap, fresh Delivery :) read more

I liked their special rolls. The ones with the almonds is pretty good. They also have a special roll punch card. Gotta like that perk :) We also decided to get brown rice sushi. And they have gluten free soy sauce. Big plus (means I can actually have a full sushi experience) :P read more

This place is amazing. I've been going here for almost 3 years. The food is inexpensive yet somehow better than the majority of sushi places that I've been to in Vancouver. The fish is fresh, service is good, and you can't beat the location. read more

I love this place. I've been coming here since they opened, and I just finished yet another delicious dinner. Naruto is inexpensive and generous with their roll size, and they have two things that I love in particular that keep me coming back: 1). the Lauren roll, which is crab, spicy tuna, and avocado and then I think some crunchy tempura bits inside? The combo of everything together is perfect. 2). the new salmon aburi that isn't a roll; it's their take on oishi sushi. It's cheaper than Kishimoto and Miku, and bigger and just as tasty. I had it a couple of weeks ago and the jalapenos were too big; on the phone tonight I asked if they could make sure the jalapenos were sliced thin and they were. It was magical and I am sad it's all done. read more

I am a fan of this little hole in the wall for a couple of different reasons. Their sushi is fresh, made well, the service is exceptional and it's so well priced for a sit in and take out joint. Last night I sat in and had a great time to myself. They have a 3 item deal for $10.95 which includes quite an expansive menu which also comes with a miso soup. I ordered the ebi sunomono, prawn tempura and the salmon & avocado roll. The miso was piping which honestly is rare at cheap sushi spots (their usually luke warm and contain zero seaweed/tofu). Next came the tempura, sunomono and salmon & avo roll which all hit the spot. The tempura oil tasted a touch stale but nevertheless I scarfed it down. The roll was THE perfect size. So many cheap sushi joints make the rolls way too girthy to the point where all you're really eating are mounds of rice and one small slice of cucumber and salmon. Thanks Naruto for the yummy dinner, this place is officially my go-to on because is close to my place and great eats. read more

I'm super impressed with this sushi joint. It's well priced and good sushi. It started off a little wobbly with some growing pains, but has quickly become one of the best sushi joints in the Comm. Drive area. They have some of the best tempura in town, with the batter light and crispy. They passed my agedashi tofu, scallop and gomae test. scallops were fresh, gomae made in house and agedashi tofu fried perfectly. When they first opened I was concerned because the rolls had way too much rice on them, but they've hit their groove now. On top of this, the hosting staff is super nice and attentive. You get the impression they are focused on quality. The prices are the right range and although I wouldn't classify this in the realm of high end sushi, it's the best in the neighbourhood. For a sushi place in this neighbourhood, it stays open late, at least on Fri, Sat .. Really suggest this place! read more

Brand spanking new. Small and busy sushi restaurant on The Drive. Some small growing pains, but overall was a lovely experience. Quick and polite service. We started with edamame, as my honey was practically dead from starvation. Quick and done perfectly. Quick note: It also reminded me that right now is the perfect time to plant edamame in your garden if you are so inclined. It's a late starter if you are direct seeding it. It prefers to be planted outside once the warmer weather hits. Do it now! Honey had the sashimi tray. Pic: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/EWwUwwhlshICZK7jFgaEjA?select=STO8Sj2zyYXWwL5KcXRoUw#STO8Sj2zyYXWwL5KcXRoUw Nice sized portions. Delicious as it was amazingly fresh. Uber tasty. I had the .... deluxe tray of some sort. Included sashimi and rolls (dynomite and salmon). Pic: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/EWwUwwhlshICZK7jFgaEjA?select=STO8Sj2zyYXWwL5KcXRoUw#BzbdA2-32V5vQrJCBZQqYg Mine was also amazingly fresh. My dynomite roll was completely freshly prepared. The way to tell is how crunchy the battered prawns were. If they've been pre-assembled, the batter gets soggy. These were so crispy and fresh that it actually crunched when I ate it. DELICIOUS FISH! mmmm will return. read more

I'm surprised at how little people have written about Naruto! At first glance, it's a small show that caters to the lunch and takeout crowd. While that may be true, I had a great dine-in experience here. Bento boxes, sashimi, sushi combos were all under $10, and no matter how you pair it, salad and miso soup are always included (as they should). I especially loved their tempura in the bento box. The batter and temperature was so perfect, I would give anything to taste the zucchini tempura that melted in my mouth again! Service did get really slow the moment the restaurant filled up. I saw that sashimi slices went from thick 1/2" slices that we got to a more standard 1/4" thick. Nevertheless, great little spot on the Drive to satisfy your urge for sushi! read more

This place is close to my home which is why I like stopping by here if I'm on my way home. I went when they very first opened and my experience was ok, nothing special. I went back again for the second time a few weeks later and the sushi had become a lot better, I think they had just opened so they were just working out the kinks. I have read a few of the other reviews and honestly have to disagree with a few, I think the sushi at this place is quite fresh and the restaurant is a clean simple atmosphere, although I prefer take out. Every time I've been in there since there's people eating or a fair amount of people ordering take out. Would it be my first choice for sushi in Vancouver? maybe not but I think its a lot better then most of the sushi places on commercial drive including Broadway sushi, which was mediocre and I couldn't get over the fact it smelled like mold in there. read more

A very tiny sushi spot tucked in a few doors down from Bandida's, beside the alley. I stopped by for lunch a week after it opened and it did not disappoint. The place is very clean, with nicely laid out tables. Service and food was fast and the sushi was quite good for the price. I only tried two rolls, which were on the large side (too much rice) but will be back to try some other menu items. They passed my gomae test with flying colours. My theory is that if a Japanese restaurant can't make good gomae, it's a bad sign (mostly I try to avoid the bottled sauce and mushy spinach efforts). Naruto's appeared to be made in house and was delicious! read more

I've been going here for years. Good prices. Tasty sushi. Friendly staff. Quick. But I became suspicious about cleanliness after getting an upset stomach a few times. Last time I went in I notice one of the cooks didn't wash his hands after he went to the washroom. The sink was bone dry after he came out of the bathroom and I went in. Yuk! Not going back. Their most recent health inspection was good, but earlier in 2015 they had serious deficiencies, including - no surprise - not adequate hand washing!

I am a picky mofo when it comes to sushi and I rarely venture from my staple sushi places, but I was looking for something that was close to transit to meet a friend. Prices are great, they have awesome and delicious creative rolls that are huge and reasonably priced - there was one veggie one with eggplant and yam tempura and some other things that is literally the best veggie roll I have ever had. They have a 3 roll for 6.75 option, which would feed most people as well. Brown rice for .50 extra per roll. Yes, this place has it all, except for service, which was incredibly inattentive. For the price, I don't really care. I'll definitely be back. read more

I've been on the fence about writing a review, as I am not a fan but everybody else seems to be so I keep thinking maybe I was just there on a bad day. Well I have been back many times now, and I gotta say I am not a fan. The prices are more expensive than any other sushi joint in the area, and you're certainly not paying for presentation or atmosphere - there is none. If you're in the area looking for a cheap, no-fuss sushi experience I'd say go over to Broadway sushi on Commercial/Broadway. Cheaper prices and better selection. read more

Yesterday was me and 4 of my friends first visit to naruto sushi with a high expectation. After we place the orders, the server ask us to order some appetizers as the rolls take some time to be done. So we ended up ordering some rolls and gyoza as the appetizers. 10 mins, 20 mins passing by, we keep waiting but we notice that the server only serve the customer that came to bought a take-away foods. In that 20 mins, they don't give us any water- or tea yet we ask several time but they didn't give us anything except the utensils. After 30 mins, one of us got up and ask where is the foods, she still said "oh we still make them" which my friend said "don't lie" and she ended up saying like "give me one minute". Yet, in those 30 mins, they didn't give us any water or tea, and keep serving the take-away customers. After 40ish minutes we decided to leave the place and the server don't even stop us (which lead us to think that they don't even make our foods yet)... price wise, I don't think it is cheap enough. and I still prefer the other sushi place nearby there; price-wise and service-wise. read more
