    Shio Japanese Kitchen. You know when you enter a Japanese restaurant and no one greets you there is a good chance it is not Japanese. Yup Korean owned and operated. We came here to grab a quick lunch and opted for their lunch specials. Taste wise- it is fairly creative and delicious but seems lack depth. All the nigiris fell apart in transit from plate to mouth. Either they used the wrong rice or they weren't sufficiently compacted. Service is minimal. Like hailing cabs in Vancouver. Ambience was not fantastic, where we sat we are in full view of the clutter of open kitchen design. Overall, the fish on the nigiris were so thinly sliced as if they sliced as thin as humanly possible. Large plating gives the illusion of a "deal". It is an okay. If you must....

    Hubby discovered this place close to Coquitlam Center and has been dining here quite often while I was away. Finally tried it and it truly is a great spot for Japanese food with a wide variety of choices, great serving size and good pricing. I usually get their sets as these give you bang for your money and also try different items at the same time. Service is good as well and wait for the food isn't too long. Always worth the drive from Burnaby to dine at Shio Japanese Kitchen.

    Fairly priced and amazing option for affordable oshi and good tasting Japanese cuisine in the area.

    I got take out here and was quite impressed. The sushi is fresh and seasoned well (but not overly seasoned). Would recommend the scallop sushis and the salmon aburi as well as the California roll salmon aburi.

    The food was delicious my issue was the server who wasn't accommodating to our friend who legit had medical dietary restrictions and couldn't eat certain ingredients. The server was not helpful and very rude telling her she couldn't substitute anything. The server made it seem like she was being difficult and even had the nerve to say we will do it for you this time as if she's doing her a favour. I said out loud to our friend if we had known about your food restrictions we wouldn't of come here and I felt the servers death stare right at me. Very disappointed in the service how do they work in food, and not know about food restrictions and allergies?

    First time visiting this place with other 4 friends and we we're all very happy. The place was very busy for dinner time but we still got seated right away. Staff are friendly and very accommodating with our needs. All foods we've ordered were very good and tasty. Food presentation is very appetizing. Pricing is okay and worth the visit. I highly recommend this place.

    Miso soup

    It's good that you can find a decent Japanese restaurant in Coquitlam. It's actually running by Korean. They open daily except Sunday, so I can only go here and buy and try their food on Saturday as I need to work on weekdays. I ordered their combo A with beef bao bun and simple Oshi. The miso soup came with combo A. It was only ok but nothing was too special about it. I posted a photo of combo A here. You can see it came with some spicy California roll, a beef bao bun, grilled avocado with a special sauce, katsu (deep fried pork cutlet) and some coleslaw salad. I think combo A is a really good deal. It was $16 but it included a wide variety of food in one dish. The simple oshi was a good deal at $18 that included 4 types of oshi sushi. One thing that I would like to specify though about the oshi sushi was too much sauce on a couple of them. The sauce covered the flavour of salmon or sushi. It will be great if the restaurant can improve the quality or portion of sauce that they put on the sushi. Don't overkill the origin of the delicious sushi. If I go to this neighborhood again, I would like to try other dishes. The restaurant is next to Coquitlam Centre, so it's easy to find parking and it's free!

    A small place just off Glen Drive in Coquitlam. I sat by the counter so was facing the kitchen. Above them is a TV that shows the traditional knives, fish market, etc. It brought back memories of my trip to Japan. I so want to go back to Japan. Anyway, I ordered the Udon Combo. It had udon, rainbow oshi, chicken karaage and gommae with a tuna on top. The sashimi on top of the rainbow oshi was really fresh tasting and delicate, not like some places where the sashimi is a bit hard and flavorless. The chicken karaage was bite size which was good. It was juicy and light, even though it is fried. It wasn't overly oily. The udon was okay as it was plain udon in soup. The soup wasn't overly salty and you don't feel thirsty after. The service was quick and the server was so polite. I didn't wait that long for the food but she thanked me for waiting. The decor was clean and not cluttered, and very open.

    Simple oshi- loved creamy mayo salmon oishi rest was ok
    Tasfia T.

    I will give it a 3.5 out of 5 After around 20 min wait we got seated. We were really excited to try as we heard such great things about this restaurant. All the aburi sushi were excellent. However, everything else weren't good. The beef cream pasta was really sweet. I expected it to be savory. Here's my fav: - Basil Mayo Salmon- fav of the night; although i wish the salmon slice was thicker - creamy mayo salmon Dishes didn't like: - korroke; too sweet - karaage; dry - Beef Cream pasta with donkatsu; too sweet

    Combo B: spicy mayo oshi, deep fried salmon, avocado, and bao bun
    Kenji K.

    I've been back to this place recently (June 2021) and I'm glad that the food is still delicious. I found the portions a bit small, but that's only because I can eat a lot. My friend was full after eating only half of her order! I ordered Combo B, which was $16.75 (perhaps a bit on the pricey end), but only because I wanted to try their beef bao bun. The flavour of the bao bun as a whole tasted fresh and meaty, the sauce was creamy and mellow, and the bread was light and fluffy. The grilled avocado was delightful as always and it was perfectly ripe. The salmon fritter was slightly crisp, i.e., not too crunchy, but not soft either, which just happens to be what I prefer. The spicy mayo salmon oshi was delicious. I enjoyed the combination of the cooked salmon and its omega-3 fatty acids combined with the creamy spicy mayo sauce. My friend remarked that the spicy mayo wasn't that spicy―that it didn't really have a kick to it―and I'd have to agree. I can handle my spice, or rather, I enjoy spicy food, but I have come to accept that spicy foods in restaurants are rarely that spicy. I'll have to maintain my 5/5 stance as it's currently my go-to place!

    I constantly order takeout from this place via Uber Eats, and it has become one of my favourite places around the area for Japanese food and sushi. The combos are pretty worth it for the variety of food that you get. For example, my favourite udon combo comes with a sesame spinach salad, chicken karaage with mayo, a whole salmon oshi roll, and a half bowl of plain udon. I feel like I get a taste of all my favourites for a reasonable price. I would recommend the Chicken Karaage, the Salmon and Tuna Oshi sushi, and the Udon. The udon broth is super nice- I feel like it has the perfect richness and depth of flavour. Overall I will keep on ordering from here. I can't wait to try more of the menu items.

    Udon Combo
    Yunny H.

    Probably our favourite japanese restaurant in Coquitlam! They have a large menu of different japanese combo sets, and we got the Katsu burger combo and the udon combo to try this time. The Katsu burger was huge, 2 layers of crispy deep fried chicken cutlet, and cabbage salad coleslaw in between. Served with sweet potato fries and a choice of canned pop as well The udon set was as good as usual~ their dishes are all so neat and yet so simply delicious! The Special BC roll and BBQ ika (squid) was heavenly delicious too~ just love their food all so much

    salmon avo roll and aburi california roll
    Leeza N.

    My friend and I decided to get some takeout here since they had a deal for 20% off all their takeout. I decided to get the aburi california roll, salmon avo roll and the chicken karaage rice bowl. The aburi california roll was pretty good but it's just the aburi sauce ontop of a california roll, there's no fish. The salmon avo roll however was really tasty and the salmon was so fresh and paired well with the sweetness of the sushi rice. The karaage bowl was so large and filling and came with rice, a side salad and ontop had wasabi mayo and seaweed flakes. The chicken was so crispy and flavourful and wasn't dry at all. I will definitely return to try more items here when I'm in the area and take advantage of the 20% off takeout discount!

    Aburi California roll! Amazing for the price point ($5)

The donburi looked good with sufficient portion for a strong man. It was tasty, however as I kept eating the soy chicken karaage got more and more salty. Finally I couldn't have anymore. I finished the rice and it was well cooked. I drank two cups of tea after having the donburi. I didn't try other dishes, perhaps I will give them a try when I come here next time. I do hope the chef could make it less salty. Apart from that, service was fine and the ambient was quiet and tidy.

There is no hustle and bustle or fakeness that would otherwise follow some restaurant vibes. There is purely passion for fish, customer service and, of course, metal music! I urge you to dine at the chefs bar and let Chef K tell you his extensive and wonderful background from catering some A list bands, to being on tour, and changing restaurant models all while being fed an amazing feast. The fish is sourced from Japan and screams quality and flavour. He knows exactly what he's doing with all the fish profiles and pairing them with a variety of notes like shiso, yuzu and ginger. Between the 14 unbelievably mouth watering and satisfying dishes, Chef K and Chika's kindness shared the spotlight easily.
