Excellent, inspired restaurant. One of my most memorable sushi meals ever, and I eat a lot of sushi. This place was hard to find, because there is just a small sign and door on street level, and the restaurant is upstairs. Cool atmosphere both inside and out. read more

The menu is very similar to Suika, but with more variety and slightly more tasty options. That being said, this places focuses more towards the food rather than the bar izikaiya vibe. The server couldn't find our reservation but proceed to gave me the bar table , that was really nice of them. read more

Wonderful Omakase Uni Zukushi dinner! My wife and and love anything uni and the uni set dinner did not disappoint. When we arrived, the host let us know they saved the Omakase Uni especially for us since they don't serve it every night. But because I was persistent with following up with them, they were kind enough to make it happen for us. We had plenty of envious stares from other customers since we were the only ones with this set menu. The uni used was ultra fresh, sweet and delicious! The blue fin tuna sashimi was so sweet and melt in your mouth. We added the Uni Savory Egg Custard and Uni and Aburi Nigiri Sushi which ended up being the right call! The spicy lobster uni cream udon was on point as well. The lobster tail was cooked perfectly and so sweet. The yuzu gelato at the end of the meal was a perfect palate cleanser that concluded an amazing meal! read more

Celebrations are great at Raisu. We celebrated my sister's birthday here and a key highlight for me was taking away a Polaroid photo of our family. I think the team really tries to go above and beyond for celebrations and it was felt by my family. COVID protocols: I really enjoyed the outdoor fully covered patio. I will flag if you do sit on the patio, you will be require to take off your shoes so you can be on the fake lawn when you're seated Things I would recommend: Grilled miso pork cheek 5/5 -- really nicely done where the meat is so easily pulled apart. They did a great job at marinating this without being too salty. Ebi mayo 5/5 -- really great batter where it was just perfectly seasoned and done right Garlic edamame 4/5 -- nice spin off to create more flavour to this simple dish Chicken karaage 5/5 -- I think the entire chain of restaurants under this parent company does chicken karaage really well and Raisu is not an exception Other items I tried: Otoro blue fin tuna aburi 3.5/5 -- I've had tastier combinations of blue fin and aburi so this wasn't my favourite. I just found this quite dense compared to other versions I've had in the past Snow crab uni creamy udon 3.5/5 -- this just wasn't a very memorable dish for me. There was a lot of flavours and textures working in this dish that didn't blend seamlessly in harmony for me-- the crab, the uni and cream can be a lot to work with read more

Don't miss their entrance! It's pretty hidden haha. Tip: i would call in to rsvp their bento boxes. They usually don't sell the day of. We were not disappointed at all. So many delicious choices on the menu that we wanted to try. I came in hoping to try their bento, but they were sold out. then I was debating between trying the uni omasake meal or their other stuff in the menu. We had just had a buttload of uni the other day so we decided to try something different. I went with their lunch special which was $28 for 2 choices- I chose sashimi and grilled fish. My husband chose the mixed tempura. Portions were HUGE in my opinion. Definitely worth the price! Sashimi was fresh and I was given 6 pieces. The mackerel was so good. Flavorful and tender. The tempura pieces were huge! I mean the chicken katsu was 2x bigger here than other places. I really enjoyed the stuffed scallop the most. read more

My hubby and I ordered delivery from them a couple of days ago and we were blown away by how good it was for take out! We can't wait until after our booster shots so we can dine-in! We ordered: Pork Katsu - great size, juicy, succulent, flavourful and still crunchy after an hour! Fried scallops - very good & stayed crunchy Otoro deluxe seafood bowl - wow, it was so good, and the rice was quite good too Grilled miso pork cheek - lovely, although I didn't care for either sauce it came with Miso soup - properly done, great flavour Mushroom Agedashi Tofu - they packed the soupy mushroom separately so the tofu could stay somewhat crispy. Quite delicious and very generous with the mushrooms! Overall we were really impressed with how good it was, given that most delivery meals suffer. We can't wait to go in-person soon! read more

My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary here and definitely recommend for any occasion because the service is phenomenal and our server was the sweetest! It's best to make a reservation online as it was still so busy on a Monday evening when we went. For drinks, we got the plum wine sangria, and tropical lychee, both sweet and refreshing drinks. As for food, we got chefs choice aburi sushi, pork belly, deluxe Kobe wagyu beef udon, and sizzling stone beef steak. It was a lot of food and we couldn't finish everything but still so yummy. I especially loved the sushi and beef steak. They even brought out a little dessert with sparkler and took a Polaroid of us to make it even more special. Had a great experience overall! read more

Made reservations here and also pre ordered the vegan bento box. Pros - Food is fresh and tasty. - Presentation is on point! Food probably looks better than it tastes. - Bento is really unique and has a bunch of interestingly items. - Service and interior is nice. Cons - Bento box took a long time to come out. Finished all the food and it came out so it took around 1+ hrs to come out. Vegan miso soup provided is not good. - A bit on the pricier side. read more

Food here is good! I recommend coming in the afternoon instead of at night. Mainly because of their lunch specials that are great! However, their dinner selection is not the best imo as it gets pricey. Even so, the service is amazing and theres a nice vibe in the restaurant! read more

Damn this place blew my mind. Their katsu (different style than of Saku which is also my favorite) was so juicy and perfectly crispy. The staff was very friendly and assured us we would get seated every 5minutes (there was about a 20 minute wait). Their aburi sushi was ohmygod the best i have ever had. With generous amount of tobiko and toppings, each bite was filled with flavor, texture and warmth food aside the interior was stunning, there are also outdoor booths in their individual patios where id love to sit next time if possible. We were seated at the bar but it was very comfortable and so much fun watching the chefs prepare delicious food. read more

Ok ambience, service was quick and friendly, but very disappointed with the Kobe Wagyu Beef Teishoku!! Expected a special Kobe -buttery soft steak, but got a tough, sinuey miniscule portion, with unmentionable slivers of veg! Miso soup and rice you can't go wrong. Sashimi was good, but dropped $150, incl 1 beer, 1 glass of red wine. Went home hungry, not returning sa read more

I was lucky to use a 20% promo code ordering this Kiwami Gozen (special set meal for 2 people) at the end of April. Instead of paying $98 (before tax), I was paying $78.4 + tax. This special set meal included a lot of food! My husband and I ate them for two days. Kiwami A La Curte set (Grilled Lobster, Ebimayo, Chicken Karaage, Yuzu Chicken Wings, Mashed Potate) Kiwanis deluxe seafood bowl AAA steak salad Chef's choice dessert - Yuzu cake with fruits Chef's choice dessert - Almond pudding We came here and dined in the restaurant in the past. The food and quality were very good or above average. We loved their food in general and we expected this Kiwami Gozen must be good as well! It did not disappoint us! :) I liked Kiwami A La Curte set. Basically every single piece tasted great. The deluxe seafood bowl got tons of seafood. Each piece was very fresh and the bowl got a lot of rice. The AAA steak salad was fine except the text of the beef was a big rough and I had to chew on it for a long time. This was missing a point. Both desserts were great. I loved the cake but my husband loved the almond pudding more. Overall, the presentation of each dish was nicely done! I am hoping to dine at the restaurant one day. read more

Who knew this hidden gem was here? We live literally right behind it and could've never imagined walking up those stairs to find such a swanky, cool BUSY place. Raisu definitely feels, for us, like a place to go for a treat. A hip-upscale Japanese tapas and sushi night treat. You don't want to skimp out, let me tell you that. Everything we ate was phenomenal. Their cocktail was also amazingly refreshing and totally drinkable and therefore dangerous. I got the Raisu Splash Lemon Sour. If you're not into overwhelming boozy tastes, this is majorly yummy. We ordered the hell chicken karaage just as a good filling appetizer in case we would be too hungry after ordering lots of raw fish dishes. We were warned it was quite spicy but the spicy was bearable. If you enjoy spicy like we do, I don't think you should be too cautious but if you're even slightly sensitive or nervous, maybe don't. GET THE OMAKASE ABURI SUSHI. This is always my favourite thing to order from any Japanese restaurant if they have it and I am never disappointed. Also, because we were feeling fancy that night we melted over our bluefin tuna sashimi. The Wagyu Croquette was really good and a great filler item, though I cannot say it was memorable. We also got the Kobe Wagyu Beef and Uni Nigiri sushi which were heavenly buttery bites with how smooth and soft the beef and uni were to finish off the night. Such a great night. I can't wait to go again! read more

Food is excellent - We have to give minus 1 because of the set menu that we order - shrimp tempura batter is undercooked. Otherwise, the bento set is a must and it is limited amount daily. Omakase sushj is the best - highly recommended. Kid set is worth it! Only 15 cad. Service is excellent and server is very attentive. Ambience is great - there is a limited seating time if you sit on the table and unlimited time if you seat at the bar. Highly recommended if you are in town read more

My first omakase I've bought~ it was okay. Some were a hit and some were a miss. The portions were quite small and just wished I had maybe one more dish in between. Overall, it was alright. I had the lunch omakase which included: - uni shooter 3.5/5 - toro uni roll 5/5 I wish I had another one - lobster cream udon 2.5/5 - don't be fooled by the size of the bowl. It's pretty small and the cream was too sweet for me. I wish I had gotten the rice dish maybe? - Yuzu sorbet 5/5 except that the portion was so small and had me wanting more ... read more

Delicious food and the kindest staff! We were celebrating a special occasion, and not only did they give us a dessert, they also snapped a polaroid and decorated it as a souvenir. They really went the extra mile and it was such a sweet gesture. And the "wow" doesn't just stop at the staff - each dish was impeccable in both freshness and taste. I highly recommend the Deluxe Seafood Bowl - the thick slabs of fatty tuna were perfection - and the Corn & Brussel Sprouts Karaage. Would also recommend making reservations - it was pretty packed even for an early weeknight dinner. Will definitely be back when we're in town again! read more

Great meal here for take out tonight for a special celebration with their special set for two which included their deluxe seafood bowl, steak salad, lobster tail and some appetizers with dessert. This set had a great variety and was perfect for sharing. Very fresh and delicious seafood on top of a generous portion of sushi rice, a nicely grilled steak over a mushroom and greens salad with a tangy ponzu sauce and a very succulent lobster tail that was neither overcooked nor chewy. The ebi mayo were also humongous and although a little soggy from take out, still well enjoyed. Both desserts were light and flavourful! For our appetizer, we got there tartar which I loved because it was tasty but not too salty and the small bread slices were the perfect crispy vehicle. We added on the omakase aburi sushi which was fine, but had a thick layer of rice as well as their uni temaki which aside from the difficulty of sharing was lovely! The Oyako Chicken Katsu's sauce was a great accompaniment to rice and the cutlet itself absorbed a lot of the flavour too! I especially loved the onions that they added into this dish. We added their wagyu croquette which was fried to perfection, juicy and came with a delicious tartar sauce. We couldn't forget their uni cream udon which had a decadent soup that could still be slurped up and finally, the grilled beef bento which again, came with more small appetizers and fried dishes. Overall, a bit pricier but high quality and a good option when looking for a mix of seafood dishes as well as izakaya dishes. They also forgot our uni in the seafood bowl but when I mentioned it to them afterwards, they were kind in offering a special dish for our next return! Another winner from the Suika family. read more

i came here with a group of 6 on a saturday night. we made a reservation ~2 weeks in advance for 7:45 pm. we were visiting from the states and our vancouver friend wanted to take us here since it's his favorite japanese restaurant in vancouver. we were seated at a booth-like table. we had to take our shoes off before sitting down - there were small compartments on the side of the table to place our shoes, although there wasn't enough room for all of our shoes so some had to be placed on the side. there were seat cushions and the table had a blanket attached. we ordered the plum wine sangria pitcher. it was larger than expected and probably the best sangria i've ever had. it didn't really taste like alcohol. i ordered a bento box for myself. you have to call 24 hours in advance to place a bento box order. it was nice to be able to try a little bit of everything - i would recommend this option if you're just visiting vancouver. also, the restaurant seemed to be quite popular for birthdays as we witnessed quite a few birthday celebrations while we were there. this makes sense as the ambiance is great and the price point is a little higher. overall would definitely recommend this place! read more

A friend recommended this restaurant and the food looked amazing! My boyfriend and I are always down for Japanese food. We decided to have our anniversary date night here and booked a reservation on OpenTable on our first night in BC. It's located next to Market Meats Kitsilano and Shoppers Drug Mart on W 4th Ave in Kisilano. There's only street parking around the area on the smaller streets perpendicular from the main road from what I've seen. Originally, I wanted to order off their menu but when we arrived, I noticed their course menus that was given to us as we seated. The Kaiseki Course for $146 or the Omakase Uni Zukushi course for $156. Both served enough for two people which I was very skeptical because for that price, there's usually not enough food... but the choices of food looked tempting (peep at pics). HMM. My boyfriend and I decided to do it! We chose the Kaiseki Course for 2 people as we're unfortunately not big uni eaters (sad). And I was SOOO GLAD we chose the Kaiseki course meal and didn't add anything else as there was a TON ton ton of food! The portions for everything was HUGE and soooo delicious. Absolutely in shocked! The hospitality from the staff also made our experience 2x better. Thank you for such an amazing night! The Kaiseki Course was basically a 6-course meal that allowed us to choose what we wanted. 1: An aperitif with a choice of sake or non-alcoholic drink (obv chose the sake of chef's choice which was good!) and Scallop Shooter! YUM! That was delicious. I was thrown off by the jelly but wow! Something I didn't expect. The presentation of it was beautiful too! 2: Choice of one of two salads. We chose the AAA Steak and Mushroom Salad. Omg, another yum! The steak was well seasoned and beautifully cooked medium rare. The dressing the had added acidity which mixed sooo nicely with the entire salad. The salad itself was already a meal for one person because of it's huge portion! 3: Choice of two appetizers out of four. We chose the Chef's choice of sashimi which was Albacore tuna, Atlantic Salmon, and Otoro (super fatty bluefin tuna) and Kakuni braised Pork Belly. Another WOW. The sashimi were all really fresh! I didn't expect the albacore to be really good and fatty as my first experience was albacore was REALLY fishy. I had to ask the servers what that fish was as I didn't catch the name of the fish twice (and because I was in disbelief that it was albacore LOL). And the otoro, super fatty and melted in my mouth YUUUM. The pork belly came with a mashed potato and a hard boiled egg cut into halves and the flavor of both the meat and potato was ah-maazing! Not overly salty and the meat was super tender. 4: Otoro Aburi Sushi with the option to add foie gras & wagyu nigiri and/or chawanmushi for an additional cost. We didn't opt in for the extras. The otoro aburi sushi was NOT what we expected. It was a line of cooked otoro with different toppings. What originality! Never seen this kind of sushi before and definitely left a lasting impression on both me and my boyfriend! Even though the main protein was the otoro aburi, the flavors of each bite was so different from the previous bite. Crazy! 5: Choice of carbs. We chose the Lobster Uni Cream Udon. HUUUUGE BOWL! As big as BOTH my hands together (if not bigger; peep at pic). The dish smelled amazing! But I thought the udon was kind of bitter and didn't have much of a bite to it. Probably because of the juices from the lobster. But the lobster was soooo good! The lobster was actually what caught my eyes LOL. 6: Digestif of hot green tea and Chef's choice of dessert which was two green tea cheesecake with a fluffy cream and fruits and pistachios. Presentation again, A+. The cheesecakes did blend in with the plate but the fruits gave it color. In addition to these, we were also given an anniversary dessert of Almond Tofu Parfait. So nice of them! Didn't have much almond flavor that I was used to in a Chinese dessert but overall, really good! It was my boyfriend's first time trying this kind of dessert and he enjoyed it! When they gave us the almond tofu, the staff all came together to say 'happy anniversary' to us and also took a polaroid picture of us! They gave us the picture at the end of our dinner, and I AM IN LOVE WITH IT! The food, service, and ambiance of this restaurant was SPECTACULAR. I LOVED everything we had and would definitely say this restaurant is now one of my top 3 Japanese restaurants with really decent prices that wasn't considered "high-end" that I've been to. If I'm ever craving Japanese, I definitely will be back. Would love to try their Sha-Ka-Do Bento! read more

Had eaten at their sister restaurants but first time here. Browsed over the extensive menu but had a hankering for fresh fish.

A truly happy meal! read more

Extremely creative, high-quality Japanese food with a killer vegan bento box. My rating is only for the vegan bento box ($28), which has to be pre-ordered at least 24h in advance. But it's totally worth it. The rest of the menus is vegan-friendly at all, so if you're vegan, plan ahead. It's a good idea to have a reservation too, as the place was full when we got there -- good thing we had a reso. We arrived for our reservation and were seated promptly. They were well-organized and knew we had pre-ordered the bento box. We got a sample flight of 5 different sakes ($28), which comes with the bartender's choice of sakes -- not the best value, but a cool way to try a bunch of them. The bento box came out in about 20 minutes and was gorgeously presented. The main box comes with 9 different items, with a card that describes each dish. Every single dish was tasty, with a few standouts that were particularly decadent. There was a good balance of dishes, and the chef's creativity was clearly evident. You also get a side of miso soup (free refills) and steamed rice; damn, that must've been the best miso soup I've had, so it was nice to have a couple bowls of it. All in all, this place was awesome. Delicious, creative food, at a reasonable cost given the high quality of what you're getting, at least for the vegan bento box. Highly recommended. read more

Always good food at raisu! Everything I go, it's always a difficult time when it comes to choosing what to order because everything sounds appealing. Recently went to try a variety of their a la carte items and I would definitely recommend their tartare and takowasabi - perfect for sharing and a staple everytime I'm out. As for drinks, their plum sangria was very tasty. It's light and fruity, can't taste the alcohol, making it perfect for the summer! Make sure to book online if you want to dine in. Their last call is until 9pm but tables can stay till 10pm. read more

My husband and I have been loving this restaurant for years. Every time we visit vancouver, we make it a point to stop by because the food is great and fish is usually so fresh. But today... we ordered the dinner omakase and all the UNI pieces tasted SO BITTER. Usually, it's like this when it's not fresh. When we relayed that it was too bitter to the server, all she said was "oh, thanks for the feedback." Nothing else. We mentioned it again at the end of the meal and still, nothing. We will NOT be coming back anymore. read more

Might be my favorite Japanese restaurant outside of Japan. Walking up one flight of warped stairs reminds me of hunting for hidden restaurants in Osaka and Tokyo. You know the ones with a simple sign leading to the basement or up four flights of stairs above karaoke bars. Raisu reminded me of that. Walking in, the ambiance smacks you the face. A server shouting an order across the restaurant to the kitchen in Japanese. The kitchen and wait staff is constantly on the move creating and delivering epic looking food. The menus come in multiple pieces. Daily special, the set menu, the omakase set, the a la carte, etc. what was more fun was looking at what others ordered in giant bowls or ornate bentos and asking the staff to identify. I struggled to limit myself to two things. I really need a second stomach or have run 10K, because there were so many mouth watering options. I chose the daily otoro bowl with minced and sliced seared otoro, pickles and poached egg. I died and gone to food heaven... maybe the foyer of food heaven cause my second main was so bleep bleep orgasmic, there must be multiple levels of food heaven. The Shokado bento. As I ordered it, the server dashed into the kitchen, mid sentence. I'm like what did i say? She ran into the kitchen to reserve it! I got the second to last one. It really is limited supply. I can't really describe the journey as I traveled around the 9 segment bento. But you can look at the pics and imagine the taste. Now multiply your imagination by 10. I highly recommend reservations. read more

Got a sashimi bowl and everything was perfect. I usually dont eat sushi rice and i do not like rice in general, but i actually finished the whole bowl by myself. Rice was delicious-- soft, sweet, and i was able to taste the right amount of rice vinegar. Salmon and sockeyes were super fresh, so does ama ebu and sea urchin. It was amazing and the price was reasonable (CA $40 i think?). Lunch menu was sold out and uni omakase was starting for 2 people, but overall, it was an amazing dining experience. Staffs were super friendly and serving was pretty fast although they were busy. read more

The food was fairly good, but I felt the price to portion ratio was off. The tuna belly was really fresh and melt-in-your-mouth. The uni udon was really creamy and rich, and overall pretty flavourful; but one of the big turnoffs was how small a portion for 2 was. Large plates but small portions... I felt like Raisu was trying to be a higher-end, modern restaurant through using massive plates and a big emphasis on presentation. Their fish was good, but you definitely pay a price for a reasonable quantity. Cooked food was decent, but portions are tiny. If you're really hungry, probably would not recommend this place unless you're prepared to spend a pretty penny on many small dishes that cost on average $15-$20 each. read more
