The hamachi had such a nice touch of flavor so good. The Edi salad,was cool and refreshing, great start, the tuna was perfect, with chunks that melted in your mouth, assorted tempura was so crispy and light, just an amazing meal in a nice setting. Definitely recommend and our new favorite for sushi.

The menu had everything ranging from rolls, bentos, sashimi, ramen, udon, rice plates and more. I discovered this from fellow Yelpers and knew they were well known for their lunch specials. It appears that others also got the memo since the restaurant was half full 30 minutes after opening. I opted for the Kinkura Special Bento that's offered only during lunch. It came with 6 pieces of sashimi, 3 piece nigiri, 6 pieces of sushi oiishi (I chose Salmon), gyoza, tempura, and a soup and salad. To be entirely frank, the fish quality wasn't the most supreme but it definitely hit the spot. The tempura was great, and the sushi oiishi was fantastic. I noticed that many others just ordered many rolls for lunch. I think that might be the other thing to get, after looking further into Yelp photos. All in all, a fantastic lunch destination if you're looking for affordable eats that is close to a AirTran stop before returning back to the airport.

The mackerel was deboned, lightly charred, and flavourful. The accompanying tempura was delightfully crunchy. A small side salad came drenched in a tasty dressing, and the miso soup was very light, too light for my taste actually. My friend ordered a sashimi donburi plus a small order of nigiri sushi. and proclaimed everything "very fresh." Service was prompt and affable, and we appreciated the freely flowing (and free) hot tea offered throughout our meal.

One thing of note, check your takeout order before you leave, they do make honest mistakes from time to time. Pay in cash/ debit to avoid the transaction fee.

I did get to try a piece of the spicy salmon sushi. Food was delicious. Prices were reasonable here. Most importantly of all is the service here is great. The restaurant is family ran. The owner gave me a complimentary miso soup. My friend ordered a combo so her meal came with a miso soup. She topped my water when I needed it. I overheard her talking to the other table to let them know after spending so much they get a free sushi roll. The menu has a lot of of options to order from. The place itself is small and may not be the best or comfortable restaurant to be in. Most people do take out here or just eat and go. Plenty of free parking in the area side's street.

I stumbled across Ocean Goose while walking around West 4th Avenue…read more They had bright windows, clean and minimal decor, and a nice selection of offerings in the menu they displayed outside. Honestly, I wasn't even hungry but I really wanted to try a place with bara chirashi during this most recent visit to Vancouver. Wanting a respite from the wind and rain; I decided to venture inside. The staff was friendly and asked if I was waiting for anybody. I told them it would just be myself and that I'm ready to be seated and to order. I selected the Bara Chirashi and the staff told me that since it was lunch time, it would be a better value (less expensive and additional items in a bento) if I got a lunch bento of the Bara Chirashi. I agreed and selected chicken Kara-age as my accompaniment. The lunch portion came with miso soup, a side salad, edamame, chicken Kara-age, and a decent portion of the chirashi. It was beautifully presented and I agreed with the recommendation of the staff. The Kara-age was lightly fried, super juicy, and very tender. It rivals one of the great places in Yokohama where I had some of the best fried chicken. The lunch portion of the chirashi was the perfect amount. I was delighted at the fish quality and how every bite offered a little something new. Overall, I am so grateful to stumble across Ocean Goose and try their offering. Definitely a no thrills but solid quality type of place. Would be perfect to bring family or to catch up casually with a friend. Really enjoyed the brightly lit and clean interiors and solid selections.

Biggest takeaway and reason for 3 stars: Service needs a serious improvement. And it wasn't due to…read morelack of staff, there were a lot of servers on shift. I eat sushi once a week and I have my weekly go-tos and my fancy occasion go-to sushi joints. I would put this restaurant in the middle - the decor makes it nicer than your average takeout or dine-in spot and the way the sushi is presented is pretty and done with care. When we arrived the restaurant was pretty dead (we went before a show at 5pm) the servers told us we'd have to be out by 630 due to reservations. We were totally fine with that. We sat for a while before anyone came by to take our drink order (which is odd if you're telling us we're on a time limit). A server came by and we ordered ice water. Having walked down to the restaurant we were all extra parched. Server came around again and gave us hot tea. Then we asked for ice water a second time and ordered our food. What was frustrating was there was no acknowledgment of them forgetting or saying sorry after we asked 3 times total. Zero accountability. We got the sashimi salad, ocean pacific roll, appetizer tempura and a few nigiri to share. The food came out super quickly but alas, no ice water. We had to ask a third time. The sashimi salad is HUGE, tons of salmon, lacking abit on the tuna sashimi though. The nigiri was all yummy - we did toro and salmon. The tempura was crisp and light, good size on the prawns and veggies. And the ocean pacific roll was tasty. Finally the waters came near the end of the meal. All in all the food was quite good but where they fall really short is service.

Ordered the negitori, Las Vegas and Rainbow rolls. They were okay. Rice seemed a bit old and dry for all our rolls. We really enjoyed the deluxe chirashi bowl and deluxe nigiri combo.. rice for these seemed much softer/fresher. Fish was very fresh for all items. Interiors are nice with a darker, underground vibe. Initially thought the encased Starwars and superhero figurines on display were a little immature but they seem to go with the vibe somehow

I also like the Gomaae ( Spinach in sesame dressing ) refreshing and not over powered with the sauce. Tempura were light and crispy i.e. freshly made to order! After we got our lunch bentos and we felt confident enough to order some sushi to try out .. Ika ( Squid ) very fresh not chewy at all .. Hokkaido Uni super fresh and love that it was chilled to the right temp when served, this way the natural ocean umami explodes in your mouth! Glad we made the decision to try their sushi ... am sure we will be back to try our more items! Paid street parking available around the area! BTW, our server Paul was wonderful and he kindly checked several items for us for their availability, and he is very friendly as well!
