    Mmmmm

    I usually judge a sushi place by its salmon sashimi... Cause that's how I 'roll' (get it?) This place gets top marks for amazing sockeye salmon sashimi. Staff is attentive and service is really quick... I will definitely be back!

    Disappointed! You don't use fresh cooked rice but leftover chilled rice to make rolls? Definitely will never ever come again!!

    And I can say without a doubt that it beats the hell out of the mall sushi at semiahmoo that I've had the last three weeks.

    It is one of the hardest restaurant to make a reservation. Luckily, I got a reservation 7-8months…read moreago. Menu: Chawan mushi - steamed egg custard with vegetable(bean, shimeji mushroom) and seafood(shrimp and slice of fish) Ankimo - Monkfish Liver with seasonal seafood(scallop and shrimp) Grilled black cod, with saikyo miso and marinated blue fin tuna and cooked egg. Tenpura - seafood (slice of fish, seafood stuffed vegetable and vegetable(shiitake) 9 pieces of sushi Daily miso soup - clam Dessert - kinako and mitarashi dango Chawan mushi was great. I can taste fish based broth and egg custard was very silky and smooth. Decent amount of ingredients sush as shrimp, slice of fish , bean and shimeji mushroom. I wish they served it slightly cooler than too hot. Ankimo - Great item. Monkfish liver was rich and paired with scallop and shrimp so well. Sauce was just ok. Grilled black cod was another great item. Crispy and juicy, just perfectly done. Blue fine tuna was covered by salty marinated sauce which was great when wrapped with seaweed. Cooked egg was just ok Tenpura - Seafood stuffed vegetable was my favorite. Others were also decent. Highlight and stand out item was 9 pieces of sushi. Honmaguro(bluefine tuna) was good. Shari(sushi rice) was nicely seasoned with vinegar, very mild and which I liked it. Tuna was delicious. Sea breem(MADAI) was another good piece. Delicious. Aburi Toro was nicely seared. I wish this item could be a bit more softer and buttery, but it was still good. Akaebi(red shrimp) and Hokkaido sea urchin - Lightly torched the top of sea urchin and its smokiness brought out more sweetness flavor of Akaebi(red shrimp) Hokkaido Scallop - Very smooth, soft and nice texture. Delicious. Kinmedai(Gold eye snapper) -- My favorite. Texture was very soft and chewy, It was great item. Hokkaido sea urchin - Actually, this one was just ok. I wish it could be more creamy. Unagi - One of the best item. It was so fluffy and soft right after chef cooked and served. This is a must try item. Daily miso soup with clam - I can taste fish broth (dashi) flavor so well. Clam was delicious. It was good. Dessert - Kinako coated mitarashi dango -It was nicely chewy and soft. I wish there were more sauce on it. Overall, it worth visiting this place. The only problem is that so hard to get a reservation. Hopefully, I can get next reservation, may be next year.

    Small, authentic spot offering delicious and fresh omakase. Make sure you book early though as they…read morehave a long wait. We love Japanese cuisine so I decided to surprise the hubby with an omakase for his birthday in January. Unfortunately, they have a 6-month wait and I was not prepared so I ended up booking it for our anniversary in May. The food was phenomenal and delicious! I love the chawanmushi loaded with goodies inside. The ankimo (monkfish liver) dish was so tasty with the scallop and prawn. Black cod was cooked to perfection! The nigiris are all so fresh. We quickly put ourselves on the waiting list for after September so we can come here again soon! There's a parking lot just next door. The place inside is small and intimate. Service is great!

    Amazing quality Sushi. The quality is excellent and so fresh. I love the decor and friendly staff…read more They always do the little extras to make the experience special every time we go. My daughter and I LOVE the Canuck roll. Their sashimi is one of the freshest I've ever had! They had some new desserts on the menu and my daughter wanted to try one but they had already sold out. Next time.

    I came by here for lunch recently with a friend. She had mentioned she wanted to check it out here…read moreand I'm always game for Japanese. They have their regular menu and a lunch specials menu to choose from. I went with a Katsu Don off their specials menu and also grabbed a BC roll. I've had many BC rolls before but this one might have been the best. The rolls themselves were larger than I expected. They also really gave a lot of salmon skin with each piece. Very tasty and filling overall. The Katsu Don was a lot bigger than I expected as well. It was a big bowl of rice along with some vermicelli as well. I have no complaints about it at all. The katsu was well done. It wasn't dry and it was quite tasty with the seasonings added. I was very happy to be introduced to this restaurant. There weren't a ton of other folks at the time and I appreciated the good service we got during our stay. The food portions being huge are a big incentive for me along with the tasty food to come back here again.
