Great place to stop and get sushi if you are in the Squamish area. Wouldn't say this is my go to spot however, if I am driving up to Whistler and I am craving some sushi this is the place to go. I would recommend ordering ahead of time through their app which is super easy to use! The other day my friends and I ordered the teriyaki chicken and spicy veggie tempura donburis to go. Honestly I would say that the portions were fairly big and the 2 bowls were more than enough to feed the three of us! read more

Samurai Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Squamish, British Columbia

Samurai Sushi is my go to spot for a quick meal in Squamish. The food gets made quickly, it's on the more affordable side of sushi/ramen options in Squamish, and it's delicious. For my most recent visit, I got the karaage ramen and loved it. The broth had a rich taste and there were plenty of pieces of chicken karaage in my bowl. While the restaurant doesn't have a lot of seating, there tends to be enough so you could find a spot if you're on your own or with one other person. read more

Stopped by here on my way to Whistler! This place is more of a 3.5/5 for me. I was surprised at how fresh the fish was and the sushi rolls were pretty good and affordable. We got the california roll, chicken teriyaki roll, salmon avocado, buddha veggie aburi and deep fried pork gyoza. Overall, our favourites were the chicken teriyaki roll because the chicken was juicy and flavourful and the buddha veggie aburi roll due to the amazing sauce and avocado. We found the sushi rice was a bit too much vinegar and the gyoza was a bit bland. But overall, it wasn't too bad! read more

This location is the mother ship to the Samurai Sushi chain on Sea to Sky. In terms of food quality and options this one is the best and they serve yummy free hot tea which is nice to have when it's cold outside. They recently sold the two that are in Whistler and have held onto this location. Every time we come here and need something quick and relatively healthy we come here. Service has also been awesome and fast. For around $20 for two you can get yourself a pretty hearty meal and for some reason the miso soup that you get with the samurai special tastes better here than at the two other locations in Whistler. My personal favs are not sushi but is the Tempura Udon (you get four huge pieces of tempura and a large bowl of udon) as well as whatever is on as the Samurai Special. They recently added this delicious pulled pork to the menu which brought back memories of Hawaii and local plate lunches I've had growing up. If you are undecided, get a Samurai Special, it always comes with a ton of edamame, miso soup, one sushi roll, some type of meat on a bed of rice and chicken karaage or dumplings. You really can't go wrong with this for $11 and you will leave full. They do serve beer and wine here if you stop by for dinner and they have the fun stuff too like Japanese soda. Seating can be a challenge if they are busy and I've always seen them busy, so you may have to wait a bit to find a seat or have one person snag a table while the other goes to the counter to order. #Squamish read more

I've been here many times. Small space. Good location, great staff, nice casual setting. Solid number of vegan options. Always tasty food!!

I have been to this restaurant 3 times now...its an OK place to eat to be honest. The very 1st time I went there the sushi portions were so small considering the price...So I thought that I would not go there again but my mom likes this restaurant! My 2nd and 3rd time was like a deja vu... From the outside the restaurant is nothing outstanding...Its located in the middle of a strip mall sort of area. Plenty of free parking! Once you go inside, the restaurant has good amount of seating...BUT you will need to place your order and pay for it upfront before you sit down... Service is just mediocre...if you get some sort of "hello" out of the employees I would be surprised! Food: like I mentioned earlier the portion size of the sushi and the price they charge for them doesn't even make sense! If you like sashimi get it somewhere else. Sashimi at Samurai is so small and thin but expensive! The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because they do make decent Udon (soup) and chicken karaage.... So, unless my mom insists on going there, I will not go back there...there are so many better restaurants! read more

Samurai Sushi - Spicy beef udon! Very good price and size - Japanese Near Me - Squamish, British Columbia

See all

Decent sushi in Squamish! I stopped by for a quick lunch on a Thursday, and grabbed a miso soup and a few rolls. The interior is pretty standard, and definitely has the feel of somewhere people come to eat and go. You order at the counter (although I didn't see any signage indicating this) and there are cups and water to the side so you can fill your own. Food is reasonably(ish) priced, and I got some pretty decent sushi for ~$20. The California Roll was a bit disappointing as it just looked like a fake crab stick mushed with quite a lot of avocado; don't get me wrong, I LOVE avocado, but that was too much to be balanced. The yam-avocado roll was good though - I liked the ratio and the flavours were good. The rolls are quite loose, but not so much that they were hard to eat. Good for a quick lunch, but not somewhere I'd linger. read more

Samurai Sushi - Spinach gomae - Japanese Near Me - Squamish, British Columbia

Very expensive and the sushi sucked. The rice was old and the sushi was not freSh. We stopped here on the way back from whistler. I have not tried their other items but the sushi was terrible. read more

If you hang around Squamish you notice restaurants are very slow to bring out your food. Samurai is the only place where this isn't the case. For that alone they get some stars. The food is good as are the portions and the price is very reasonable. Would go again without a doubt. read more

I like it almost as much as the one in Nesters. Great food, great service and great prices. This is my go to food stop on my way to Whistler

We stopped here on the way to Whistler. It was during lunch hour so there were lots of people. The line moved pretty quickly. We ordered agadeshi tofu, summer roll and seafood salad. The price was decent but not cheap. The overall food was decent and service was good. I would come back. read more

Despite the name, I don't think this is the same samurai sushi company as in Vancouver. They offer a lot more food options, which also includes hot food. The prices are reasonable, and the food is tasty. They also offer a brown rice option. At this restaurant, you order first and then sit down. They will bring the food to you. read more

If I could give less than 1 star. Hell if I could un-eat what I just consumed i WOULD! I ordered a mango avocado roll. The rice was sour, the mango and avocado were soggy and yet under ripe. Their beef Donburi tasted like actual cat food (yes I've eaten cat food IT WAS BETTER THAN THEIR FOOD ) The fact that you would even serve that to 2 queer people is, quite frankly, homophobic. The seaweed was somehow dry while also being soggy. The chicken Kara agi was oversized for what it was which isn't that bad, but it didn't come with a sauce and it was a little bit dry. But I'm still stuck on the rice, please. Indulge me HOW DO YOU MAKE RICE SOUR?!??!?! And the lettuce was brown... It was the worst experience I've ever had, and I've been eating here for a long time (it was always mediocre, but today was BAD) the downtown location is way better. But if you want great sushi for a reasonable price, try umai read more

Horrible experience and don't think I'll come back unless I'm desperate for a Japanese fix while in Squamish. Ordered the beef terriyaki dinner box that said it came with spinach gomaee and salad. When I got back to the hotel to open it up, the gomaee was made with green beans and the "salad" was just some plain steamed edamame beans. Wasn't quite looking for a side of beans and beans. The beef terriyaki was ok - cooked with some sliced onions and served with a side of steamed white rice. A bit over-sauced and I just don't think this is worth $9. Last qualm is that everything was sprinkled with an abundance of sesame seeds. Need to chill out on the sprinkling. read more

What has happened with place taking advantage of people taking out order very small portions and very expensive. I wouldn't go there again. and charging for boxes and bag wha is this world coming. read more

It's like eating at sushi sen except without the service, quality, or variety. Their sushi salad must cost maximum $2.50 to make but they charge $14.00!! And their salmon sashimi is served as slivers... Totally not coming back. read more

A great stop by place, if you're willing to wait. We waited for 15 minutes whiles scanning for any open tables! The food was good. I ordered the yam roll and the veggie roll which were both really good. Also, the agedashi tofu (spicy) but it was not good. It was more sweet then spicy and the sauce was off. It was ok. read more

I only stopped by for an udon on my way up to Whistler, but it was pretty good. 3 stars, since it seemed like the only decent place (not to mention, one of the only places open that wasn't a burger joint) in the strip mall to get food at 9pm. read more

Price and quick service makes for a great stop for quick bites or single eaters. Karage chicken bento and maki combo was great. Not a fancy dinner place- it's fast food sushi at its best! read more

We always hit this place up when we are in the neighbourhood. Fast good food! Love this place. Great sushi good service and great options. Great value, check it out! read more

Samurai Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Squamish, British Columbia

There's no where else to go It's pricey but decent for the area. Only thing, sashimi was TINY PORTIONS and not very fresh at all read more

Yuck! This place wasn't great when I tried it last year, and it's even worse now.. not fresh at all and so over salted to hide that fact.. so many better options for sushi in Squamish.. try oryzae or umai or sushi sen instead and you'll be much happier.. never again.. read more

Hands down, the WORST sushi I've EVER eaten, and I'm an avid sushi eater. I ordered dynamite rolls, and tekka maki. The dynamite rolls were very odd. They had a huge chunk of lettuce in them, and shredded carrot. The tekka maki was good, except for the fact that the rolls were WAY too big, and you could easily choke on one. My dad and his girlfriend ordered the seafood salad, which looked and tasted like salad out of a bag, adorned with imitation crab. My brother got california rolls, which he seemed to like, but he also got a side of edamame beans which were cold and had absolutely no salt on them. This restaurant is the Mcdonald's of sushi. Now I understand why Sushi Sen is all the rave. The price comparison is quite significant between the two restaurants. When it comes down to sushi, you really do get what you pay for. read more

Quick service, decent overall cleanliness. Good wasn't great though. If you're looking for a quick bite, this place is fine. Don't go for taste or quality. I won't be back. read more

Samurai Sushi - Looks better than it tastes - Japanese Near Me - Squamish, British Columbia

Came up from the states to visit Whistler And made a pitstop to grab a bite to eat. Didn't really expect too much, but this place is amazing. Great food, great quality, and fast service. read more

We eat here often and the food is decent and not too pricey. The kids enjoy it as well. I like the spinach gomae, and I usually don't eat spinach. 4 stars. read more

Surprisingly good sushi! Came here after a day of skiing and was pleasantly surprised with the selection, quality and freshness. Had the Samurai combo (includes California roll, chicken teriyaki on rice, salad, edamame and miso soup) and negitoro roll (large portion and delicious!) Will definitely come here again after Whistler. read more

I gave this place stars for the food but I have to say that the wait time and customer service have been disappointing. Yesterday I experienced my last bad experience there. I know it was bad as two of the employees apologized. If I could make a suggestion, it would make sense to have both payment terminals going. Maybe its one side for in store and one for phone orders/pick ups, or take payment over the phone for phone orders...esp when you constantly have a line up that is easily a 20 min wait on top of the 15 minute wait for your food. Either way there could be more efficiency at this part which is what would give this place more stars, from myself at least. read more

OK so we've never had a real bad Japanese meal until here. Bitter miso soup. Cheap quality Pollock in the California roll. Looks the part and yet it disappointed. Nothing wrong with the ambience or service. It was the food U|G|HHHH. We had to go and find some alternative food afterwards to take away the bitter tastes in our mouths. read more

Yum. Perfect for a late supper yesterday evening. Had the combo C which included 4 nigiri. Delish and fast.

Solid Sushi served quick. You won't find mind-blowing creations are extravagant rolls but if you want good sushi for good value this place is solid. The nigiri is always fresh and the rolls I've had hit the spot. read more

I love samurai sushi. they have lots of vegan option. brown rice. very healthy and tasty foods. I would say this place is little gem of squamish!! I love avocado roll and veggie roll. spicy akedashi tofu is pretty awesome with some miso soup. this place has very nice atmosphere. I have tried samurai sushi in whistler and I liked their restaurant. I liked it a lot so wanted to check out samurai in squamish. This place did not disappointed me I Highly recommend this place read more

It's clean, service is fast. But the taste is very bland not much flavour. Not a place I would visit again.

Originally registered as "Squamish Sushi" this store is now owned or franchised just like the Samurai Sushi stores up in Whistler. I'm not sure if this store is related to the Samurai Sushi stores in Vancouver downtown and on Fraser St. near 49th. But this place serves a mix of sushi, maki, bento box combos, donburi, and udon noodles. Food was good for the family, and extremely well priced. Taste and texture were decent for sushi. Appetizers good as well, and the salads exceptional. I have to say, the best tasting spinach sesame cold compress salad since my days hanging out in Kamakura Japan! Yeah, really! But not all the items were exceptional. The teriyaki is not truly grilled and both beef and chicken have more a soggy stewed texture like you'd get from a Yoshinoya chain store. Some folks might find this completely unacceptable, but my family and I find it quite edible. Moreoever, the tempura is fresh, crispy and whomever cooked the rice knows how to cook Calrose rice the Japanese way with correct texture, water, and process. You might not find this on older GPS units of mapping software because this strip mall extension only opened in Fall 2010. My 2009 GPS does register Glenalder Street/Place in Squamish which is the street just behind the strip mall. Approaching from North Van/Lions Bay/Britannia Beach, just head north on Hwy 99 approx. 2 km past the Squamish Walmart/Home Depot, and just before the Canadian Tire hang a right onto Manquam, then immediate left onto Glenalder which is the short road on the back side of that mall. Keep going past Cinemas and you'll find it before reaching London Drugs . Take out boxes are popular here. At sub $9 CDN for a bento combination with rice, appetizer, salad and main course, this has got to be far better than doing the Tim Hortons/Wendy's run 2 miles south or the Burger King across the street. And you won't wait for an hour to get your food like at the Boston Pizza. For price-performance, this place gets 5 stars. But I dinged it one star due to flavour on some of the items. And if anyone reads this and works there, maybe add Katsu-Kare-Rice to the combination menu and I'll be eating there 3 times a week when the Family and I are up north in BC. read more

I always enjoy the sushi here, I feel as though the SMALL town of Squamish gives this place a bad rap because they hate change. This place is Amazing for a quick fix. The salmon nigiri melts in my mouth and the house samurai roll is also amazing. I also really enjoy their spicy agedashi tofu. read more

Well, after trying a few of the standard menu items, I now only order the vegetable donburi. Smoked tofu with fresh vegetables on rice makes this one of the best vegan options in town. read more
