Another day trip into Canada on 7/14/2026 and had dinner at Sushi Aji. Still great food but this time service and ambiance was a bit different. We got in and got seated by the front door, adjacent to another table that they put together for 3 moms and about 7 (7-12yrs) kids. First off they were loud and rude, place was like a playground, they wouldn't stay in their seats, parents were not doing anything about them. Our waitress came, and tried to take our order, I told her I couldn't even hear her with all the noise from them, and asked if something can be done, nothing just a blank stare from her. Food came and we were trying to enjoy our meal in a playground! Never seen our waitress after that! Then as the "kids club" was checking out our waitress was speaking Chinese to them, not sure if our waitress took offense to what I said earlier about them but she kinda ghosted us, even when it was time to pack our food and pay the bill, she avoided us. I walked up to another waitress that helped us the other year, not sure if she recognized us or just our clothes, but she greeted us with an "Aloha", and helped us after. I'm not prejudice or racial, I'm a 1/4 Chinese, but if you come to a restaurant that has other patrons, please respect the establishment. If that's your friends place, even more so, respect it. We have raised 3 kids and have never let our kids get out of hand, nor messed up a restaurant, if they did we would clean it, it not the restaurant's responsibility to clean up after our kids. We'll definitely be back here again, hopefully not see the same family there. If the owner or workers read this and know them, hopefully they say something, if they are reading this, control your monkeys!!! Sorry wanted to remove 1/2 a star from the waitress ignoring us. read more

We made reservations for 6pm and the table was ready when we arrived. It was still quiet at 6pm but patrons slowly arrived. The waitress that helped our table was great. She asked if we needed separate checks and served us tea and water as we sat down. Most of our party had not been there before and it was a couple of years since we dined there. I was happy that the prices did not increase as much as other restaurants. Everyone enjoyed the excellent food and great service and we will all be back. read more

Sushi Aji - BC Blazer roll was delicious!! The seared salmon was fresh and added such a delicious topper to this roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Delicious and well priced sushi! We ordered takeout, but the service was very quick. When we went in they were very welcoming and got us our food smoothly. We really enjoyed the spider roll and the tuna toro sashimi. The sashimi was unbelievably buttery and smooth, the spider roll was packed with fresh flavour. Can't wait to try those and more dishes again! read more

Pretty much your classic family owned sushi spot. Food is good yet nothing out of this world. Great value for money everything is well priced and the pick any 3 items for 16$ are a solid choice. Service once again is not bad yet not amazing, overall I would come back for an easy, good value and good meal read more

In the area for an eye appointment and stopped by Sushi Aji for lunch with my son. They do have 2 lunch specials: $16.25 for 3 items + miso soup or $12.95 for an item from 3 groups + miso soup. We opted to try both. We arrived just as they opened and secured booth seating...my preference. We ordered right away after viewing the menu posted outside and the food came out pretty quick. I enjoyed the tuna avocado roll and the yam tempura roll. I was not a fan of their dynamite roll as very small amount of prawn and too much rice. But it is good value sushi, the service was good and we both came away full and satisfied. It was a positive food experience. read more

Met some out-of-towners for a lunch. Their pick3-from-the-menu was a great deal for a share for 4. We added a few appys too. Small sushi joint; none-the-less a great quiet place for a meal and conversation. read more

Located by Kingsway & Joyce - plenty of metered parking along the street , might find some free ones on the side streets. Place was not insanely busy for a Friday night dinner. - tables and booths nicely spread out giving you some space to converse and such - did not pay attention to music, but i believe something was playing softly. Service was pretty quick and the team seemed pretty friendly - there is some budget friendly combo options on the menu! Although budget friendly , I don't feel like it was authentic Japanese sushi - beef was pretty dry and lacking in flavors - California roll almost tasted salty... sashimi however was pretty fresh - but somewhat tasted rubbery.... Tempura was crisp , but maybe a bit more batter would of been good. Anyways - with competition being tight on Kingsway, this is a miss for me! read more

We tried their $16.95 any three item with miso soup and left really full! We did add an additional order of takoyaki and the whole meal came to $45 with tip which is very reasonable. Service for food was also very fast, we had to wait a bit longer to be seated as it was after 6pm on a weekend. Affordable, basic sushi. Really enjoyed the saucy beef don, lots of flavour. The tamago maki was not sweet or had enough flavour. Miso soup was a disappointment, not umami enough. Takoyaki was crispy on the outside and chewier on the inside. 2/6 Takoyaki only had a tiny bit of octopus in it. read more

I ordered online and paid online fees, I waited about 30 minutes and was then asked to wait another 10 minutes. I got home in 5 min, the food was cold and didn't seem very clean( dark tuna and avocado), and I ended up feeling sick to my stomach afterwards. Was my order deliberately delayed because I didn't leave a tip? which is frustrating since this was an online pickup order and I had already paid extra fees. Overall, the quality was bad, staff rude (if you ever dine in they have no manners, they will just literally throw food on the table and leave). I don't recommend! read more

I am generally pretty easy when I comes to food .....but this by far the worst Japanese food I have had in a long time....si much so that I need to post a warning. We had agadeshi tofu....they used way too firm tofu...should be silky. Salmon Ohshi ....they really should see how other restaurants are executing this dish ...rice was not seasoned well , layering was sloppy, sauce was weak and torching was minimal. Toro sashimi ....definitely not good quality or fresh .... Mango and unagi roll ....unagi was minimal and sloppy presentation. We were definitely not impressed since we fell in to the decent rating trap!! Not operated by Japanese. read more

The food is amazing! The service is impeccable! Love the music and the general ambiance. Quality is so good and the price is affordable for anyone. Definitely 5 stars. Favourite date spot! read more

Sushi Aji - Philadelphia roll with extra cream cheese Dynamite roll Edamame beans Yam tempura Miso soup Sake - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This place is definitely no Sushi by Yuji and to compare them would not be fair. Sushi Aji is a Chinese run Sushi joint that is known for big portions and affordable eats. I've been meaning to try this place for awhile and a friend suggested trying it out for Saturday. We lucked out and was able to get parking practically in front of the restaurant on Kingsway. Parking is only $1/hour so no breaking the bank here. We got there around 7:30pm on a Saturday evening and the place was busy. Restaurant was smaller than expected but it still had a decent amount of tables. They had 3 large parties there and it took about a 7 minute wait before we got a table for two. The menu had all your usual suspects - standard rolls, oshi rolls, bento boxes, party trays, and etc. The first page listed any 3 items listed for $14.50 including miso soup - a great deal! I ordered this set and decided on prawn tempura (3 pieces), salmon sashimi don, and a salmon avocado roll. Decided to add a regular prawn sunomono too. My friend ordered salmon oshi roll, mango avocado roll, and spicy dynamite roll. We were served tea and water promptly. After a short while, my shrimp sunomono arrived. It was of a good portion and definitely worth the price. The shrimp tempura came shortly after and arrived hot and fresh. After that it took awhile before the rest of our meal arrived - probably around 15 minutes. The kitchen and servers were constantly busy but the food for the 3 large parties and others were put in first before ours. In addition, the takeout orders were a steady flow. Once our sushi rolls came, it was a flurry. My salmon sashimi don came with 3 pieces of salmon and A LOT of sushi rice. It was okay for a value meal and the salmon avocado roll was solid. The $14.50 meal was pretty much enough to fill me up. My friend enjoyed the salmon oshi roll but found the Dynamite roll to be average. He quite enjoyed the mango avocado roll. This isn't a premium authentic Japanese joint so it shouldn't be judged as such. What it is is a restaurant that is busy, serves solid food, good quantity servings, and is affordable. read more

This is your typical family owned restaurant with the whole special combo of choose 3 items for $15 type of deal and they have bento boxes for the quick lunch/dinners for a decent price. I can pretty much call this the low quality spectrum of sushi, but enough to like have enough once in a while type. I would only come here for some last minute things, which I did because I had a friend who was in the city and we needed to find a place last minute for a group of 8 and they were close by and it was sushi. I mean really, if you think about our sushi in Vancouver, not really beats it though. We know it considered to be meh quality, but compared to many places it is still better than most cities. They accommodated us extremely quickly, and I even called a head couple hours to reserve a couple tables for us. They were prompt, and the service was decent. It is the typical local family restaurant, so I wouldn't shame them much on a lot of things. I appreciate their style of business, so I might come back here in the future, for another last minute type of thing. read more

Got here around 1130am and they weren't busy for the beginning of the week. I ordered the chicken bento box and my mother had the shrimp tempura since she wasn't hungry. We both got miso soup and green tea which is the common staple with Japanese food. The weird thing is that everyone in the restaurant spoke Cantonese which I think is funny. Food was good but cannot really say it's authentic. Everything is affordable and not overly exciting. read more

I frequent Sushi Aji as it is close to work. Not expensive and I like the taste. It gets really busy during dinner time, I have ordered take out and they have said that it takes 30 Minutes. read more

I decided to be adventurous and try a different sushi place from our go-to usual and this did not disappoint! We ordered a BC Blazer Roll, a Forest Roll and Takoyaki. For a weekend, this place was busy with people even waiting outside, so we ordered to pickup. It was a 45 minute wait time, so I guess try and be strategic around when you order. But on the plus side, when there's a crowd, it means they're good. For a vegetarian option, the Forest Roll was so good! I did enjoy it and can't wait to have it again. Maybe next time I'll just try not to be hungry when it's order time and do it in advance and expect a wait. read more

I came here for lunch with my son today since it was close by but I really shouldn't have come. I usually prefer having sushi at a Japanese owned restaurant and hopefully the sushi chefs are Japanese too. I was disappointed when I heard the sushi chefs and staff all spoke Cantonese. The service was excellent. They were efficient and friendly but the food was lacking in presentation and flavour. Sometimes when you stare at a sushi roll, you can tell if the chef put effort in making it. Clearly, I cannot say that because the sushi rolls were rather sloppy looking. I don't really know how to explain it, but very average sushi. Good thing is this place is inexpensive, but honestly I should have gone to a nicer sushi restaurant since I rarely eat sushi. read more

This place reminds me of the many sushi restaurants along Commercial Drive which have the "choose 3 items for $10 or so" combo. I think this is more common for the sushi restaurants in Vancouver itself. I hardly see this promotion in Burnaby or New West. The food is typical, nothing really special. I had the corn croquette which was surprisingly good. Light crispy but not oily. The salmon avocado roll and salmon donburi were ok. Like other Yelpers mentioned, the salmon donburi came with 3 slices of salmon and lots of rice. Service was ok though they did not come round to top up the tea or water. You need to flag them down. For basic sushi and a filling meal, come here. If you want a more refined food experience or better quality and smaller portion, then go next door to Hyoga which is proudly proclaimed to be Japanese-run. read more

Great takeout sushi. Called beforehand, went in to pick up around 6:20pm, Saturday night and it was a full house, but it is a small restaurant. Was out the door with my order in under 5 minutes. We got party tray A, the spicy combo and the ichiban roll and it was more than enough to fill 5 of us. I loved the ichiban roll, it was my first time trying mango in sushi and it did not disappoint! read more

We had a very, very good experience here for an early dinner. They have a $15 meal deal with miso soup, an appetizer & two rolls. Amazing price! (Especially if you're American with the conversion rate right now) Our server was very friendly and patient with answering any questions we had about the menu. Can't remember her name, but she was from San Diego like us! Shout out to her! read more

During covid, Sushi Aji is only open for take out. Their online ordering is also currently disabled so you either have to call in or order at the restaurant. The food itself is quite good and fresh. I'm not a fan of mayo sauces so ended up getting the sauce on the side but would be interested in trying more of their special rolls. Would definitely recommend for sushi if you are in the Collingwood neighbourhood! read more

This sushi place is so worth it! Got the 3 item combo + miso soup for each member of my family (3 of us!) and it was amazing. Everything was so fresh and the portions were huge! I believe the combo price has gone up to $14.25 now, but with all the options to choose from and the bit portions, you definitely get your money's worth. My favourite was the Ika Karage (Deep fried squid), the portion was really big plus it tasted basically like fried squid from the night market! I will definitely be back to sushi aji :) read more

Visited because of their great all day combo deals and toro sashimi for under 12$. The toro was a little bit fishy but the fatty flavour definitely shined. It was quite large in size and for the price, not bad at all! For the all day combo, we got the salmon donburi which had A LOT OF RICE and 3 slices of salmon sashimi. The fish was pretty good and tasted fresh. The spicy scallop nigiri was piled high with scallops in a mayo sauce BUT the rice underneath was packed and not flavoured all that well. The chicken yakisoba was the most disappointing as it was soaked in oil and had measly pieces of overfried chicken that were mostly skin. Overall, I understand the draw of this chinese run japanese restaurant (good prices, large portions) but I would definitely prefer eating at hyoga next-door. read more

Decided to eat in while I usually do take out from this place they have recently opened for dine in again. I'd say the price is not bad for the sushi, they have some nice combo deals. I got the bento box A which is the chicken teriyaki bento box for $13.45 it comes with chicken on rice, salad, California roll, assorted tempura and a sweet orange slice. It's a simple bento box that is very filling with all the rice you get. The chicken is good, could use more sauce for the rice. The salad wasn't the best, just kinda boring. The tempura was the best, it was fried up nice and crisp! read more

Sushi Aji - Chicken teriyaki bento box - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Was debating between the 3 star or 4 star rating and food execution wise, it is definitely not worth the 4 star but can't help but give this a little extra since the experience was good. First off, should start off by saying we made a reservation for 10 on a weeknight and an hour before, we found out that there were more people attending so I called and upped the reservation for 21 people in which the restaurant was able to gladly accommodate. I think that in itself deserves a very big round of applause especially since that would be half the restaurant for this small business. Staff here were able to get us two booths and a long table in the corner so that the whole group of us could sit together which was very smart of them. Nothing but praise for the seating plan. Their menu is huge. There's a large selection of dishes and varieties that you can become overwhelmed with what to order (especially if you have difficulties with choosing, ie. Me) but there's a 3 item combo on the first page in which you can mix and match items from there so a lot of us chose from that menu. Both the combo and bento boxes also come with miso soups as well! Overall, think the sushis or anything with fish and rice is pretty average for Vancouver. If you are getting the combo though, highly recommend the chicken karaage and yakisoba dishes for the bigger dangs for your bucks. Even the bento boxes are pretty worth it for the prices you're paying. There's actually another Japanese restaurant right next door and when we were coming to this one as well as when we were leaving, we didn't see any customers eating at the one next door so, this is probably more of the local favourite. There were also high schoolers here as well so like I said, probably the bigger bang for your buck. Perhaps we took up a lot of the restaurant or they've just always got an influx of customers but I sat facing the door the entire time and there was a line up at the door the entire night! read more

Great service and price. Had the 3 dish special with salmon don, chopped scallop and tuna dynamite.

Decent sushi, but absolutely nothing special by Vancouver standards. Service has been horrible two out of three times I've gone in person. Was told to wait for my pickup order, stood there for ten minutes, and found out my order had been sitting there the whole time I was waiting. Went back a few weeks later to dine in. They were full, but the staff passed me several times without so much as a greeting, or any indication of how long it would be for a table. I left after ten minutes of the staff awkwardly avoiding eye contact. Honestly writing this with the vague hope that someone on that staff reads it and screws their heads on straight. Simply not how you treat people. Seriously the most basic thing to get right. Never going back. read more

The sushi place here before wasn't very good and they kind of got a reputation for it so I feel like since that reputation was associated with this location I feel as if people don't know that they were replaced with Sushi Aji. Anyways, really great prices and one of the best tasting sushi places, they made everything I ordered just the way I liked it. You order three items of your choice from their 3 item menu for about 11$ or a bento or your regular sushi by piece, either way everything is all amazing prices compared to other places. I ordered a chicken teriyaki don, (crispy fried over sauce, not grilled!) about 10 pieces of chicken karage with spicy mayo on the side and salmon roll (big fresh portions) all for about 11$ read more

A nice cozy sushi place near the joyce collingwood area. They have a combo deal of 3 items for $13.25. I have been here a few times and have never had to wait for a table. The appetizer portions are very generous. Everything on the menu is pretty good. Service was very fast and they also have free wifi.

My sushi and Japanese food experiences in Vancouver has been mixed -- from amazing to good to meh. This definitely falls under the category of good! I had the bento box h (unagi over rice, california roll, and takoyaki); at first, I thought that there wasn't much food as the unagi didn't seem like much and it turned out I could barely finish my food! The unagi wasn't overcooked, which has happened a few times when I've had it at other places, and the california roll was definitely more than I had expected and pretty good. The only complaint, if I could find one with the food, would be the tako yaki -- they weren't evenly cooked, with two of them being still pretty doughy. The entry way is a tad bit small, and getting out of the restaurant was a bit of a hassle with the number of people blocking it. Can't say it's the restaurant's fault, so much as it was the people blocking the door, but it definitely a bit too crowded for my liking. There are a few Japanese restaurants in my area, and I definitely found a place that I'll return to! Food: 4/5 Staff: 4/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 Value: 5/5 Overall: 4/5 read more

Great prices , friendly staff and good sushi! I like how the rice is not sour or soft. They make the rice that I like it - a bit firm, and not sour. I will definitely come back! I like their very decent prices for their party trays. Cecilia took my party tray order and was amazing in accommodating the earlier pick up time and was very helpful and friendly - she also gave me an extra 10% off when I put the order in a day before (what an amazing surprise). This place has a lot of take out (I assume for their awesome price). Keep it up! :D read more

Nowhere near authentic, but damn satisfying dining experience! I heard that they had great sushi combos and hot food combos, so my dining companion and I decided to give Sushi Aji a go. I ordered the 3 items for 11.25 and got Chicken Karrage, Chicken Teriyaki Don, and a Spicy Chopped Scallop Roll. The Chicken Karrage was a decent sized portion, crispy, and not greasy at all! Could've used a pinch more salt or pepper though. The Chicken Teriyaki had some awesome crispiness to the outside of it, and the sauce balance was just right (not too watery or syrupy). The rice on the Chopped Scallop Roll could've had more of a vinegar taste to it, but the scallop itself tasted very fresh. We also ordered a Sushi Combo (7.95) to try. We ordered a Salmon Tempura Roll, Dynamite Roll, and a Spicy Shrimp Roll. Both the Salmon Tempura and Dynamite Rolls was nice and crispy, though we both found the Salmon to be a bit lacking. The Spicy sauce that they use is just Sriracha Mayo if you're wondering what the "spice" comes from lol. Overall, very tasty combos for a great price! Would definitely recommend. read more

First off, this place is just a very simple sushi place. No elaborate adornment outside their restaurant window (others may just walk by not noticing it). Since me & my partner just live nearby, and we love sushi we gave this place a try...and we are impressed. Their raw fish are firm and fresh. Their rolls and nigiris are tightly rolled and packed. They have a variety of special rolls too. We l8ve thus place so far. And prices are affordable! Try this place guys. read more

Sushi Aji is the newest Japanese restaurant on Kingsway, and quite possibly filling a gap that was long needed in good Japanese food here. It replaces the former restaurant Kishu River which was widely unpopular. The new management however has done an entire renovation of the place (new paint, furniture, decor and even washrooms!) and just recently opened bringing a new fresh face to the venue. There are some really great options here, like the choose any 3 items from a $7.95 list, and a larger selection from a choose 3 items from an 10.95 list. I went with the latter and got a tuna don, tuna avocado roll and spicy salmon roll, which also comes with a free miso soup. I think the rolls were solidly decent, but nothing special by Vancouver standards. The sashimi with the tuna don was pretty fresh as well. Service was really good and the staff were pretty friendly as well. Also, did I mention that they have a special 10% off grand opening special with applies to everything on the menu? Really fantastic deals for the amount you're getting. Overall, 4.5 stars. I see a lot of potential for this place. Bless our souls there's a new affordable sushi place in the area. The new grand opening signs and the beautiful flowers outside really show the new presence of this place and do a good job of showing that a new store is in town. I will definitely be back to try more! read more
