My daughter's favourite food is tonkatsu and this place was close by and offered online ordering. We got gyoza and yakitori along with the tonkatsu. Everything was delicious, and I can't wait to be back the next time we're in town. My parents look forward to ordering from there again soon now that they know they have such a great option for Japanese food so close to home.

I had the black cod and sashimi set dinner. They only appear to use wild salmon here which is AWESOME - better for environment and better for us. The salmon was so good. The black cod - wow so tender and flavourful. Everything else was spot on. I can tell from the salmon that their sushi is really good. They have a huge menu and I would definitely want to go back to sample other stuff too.

The food here just hits! I love their specialty rolls and aburi. While I used to think Green Leaf…read morecouldn't compare to the aburi from Miku, there is a certain appeal of affordable, yet delicious sushi that I can't quite pinpoint, but somehow makes the food taste even better! The only thing I wished is that the North Van location could also serve cooked food options as this location primarily only serves sushi. *Must try* Aburi Platter (5/5) - $75 Taste: Such great variety that you get in this platter - you get flame torched aburi ebi, salmon, tuna, saba, scallop sushi as well as an aburi tobiko roll. The tobiko roll is by far my favourite - I love how the fish roe adds flavour and pops in your mouth! Portion Size: Shareable for a group of 4 *Must try* House Roll (5/5) - $18 Taste: I HAVE to get this roll every time. As someone who doesn't enjoy too much saucy foods, the house roll provides a clean contrast to the richness of the aburi sushi. Packed with fresh ingredients and seafood, this roll is filling and delicious with good umami flavours. Portion Size: 6 large pieces [Value for Money] Amazing value for the quality and freshness of the food served here! Care and effort is put into curating the sushi and that doesn't go unnoticed.

What can I possibly say that can give this place justifiably a higher score than 1?…read more Hmmmm.....let's see... I'm sorry, I can't. Here it goes..... Let's get the worst out of the way. The Miso Soup not only had a terrible smell but an odd unnatural aftertaste. Gross! Comes to mind. Salmon Avocado: Proportionality of ingredient ratios was completely off and amateur. ( See pic.) The sticky rice was also overcooked. Yes, you can overcook sticky rice. Dynamite Roll: I don't know what to say....it didn't look or taste like a Dynamite Roll. Tasteless, stingy and proper Dynamite Roll ingredients missing ( see pic.) Avocado Roll: Well....it was avocado rolled in overcooked rice. Moving on.... They got the most basic Sushi menu items wrong. So truly even the 1 Star is for the polite lady that took my order over the phone. She was nice and professional. And I could understand what she was saying. So, that's good.

This was yummy but I think less rice would be an improvement. Each piece is packed with a ton of rice in it. Glad it only came with 6 pieces.

I had asked for a cup of hot water in the beginning but nobody ever brought it to me, and I didn't feel like asking again so I just contented myself with the glass of cold water that they gave me. Aside from putting too much rice into my Veggie Oshi, the food here was very good as always.

For dinner, we got a bunch of rolls and shared them. For lunch, I got a lunch box, which consisted of chicken karaage, gyoza, tofu, rolls, nigiri, and tempura. I'd classify Sushi Kumo as mid-tier sushi - better than your typical cheap sushi restaurant, but not the super high end sushi either. This means the quality is great, and the price is a bit more than what you'd typically pay for a cheap sushi place, but not by much - ultimately, great value. There is seating outside the restaurant, as well as inside, so you have options. The service is excellent - the food comes fast and the staff are polite and friendly.

Started with the Japanese Fish and Chips which were absolutely bizarre. It comes with enough underseasoned yam tempura fries for 6 people and some bland tempura tuna. Regular tartar sauce on the side. Nothing special but alright. The tuna sashimi came completely frozen on the inside. Rock solid. Asked for ponzu and was given oily, greasy sesame salad dressing. That was on the tuna tataki which was bizarre. At least the tataki tuna salad wasn't frozen. My scallop and tobiko nigiri was again, frozen. Each scallop was rock hard and not defrosted. Their "house miso soup" is obviously the regular packet. Weird let down, why hype it up if it's nothing special? This place just doesn't really know what it's doing. Would never return.
