Ordered one of the bento boxes and have to say that the quality and taste was not great. Tempura was super oily. Quantity was decent. Sashimi was thin and had black meat which is the fat on it. The oil used was stale and they didn't give spicy mayo as requested. I won't be going back here. read more

Sushi Coen - Salmon sashimi bento box - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I've always ordered delivery from here. Never dined in. They are open late, and the order always arrives fairly quickly. The food is quite good ( especially for delivery sushi ! ) They often have 2/1 specials. Like the Gyoza. I always order it extra crispy and it's perfect. Other items worth mentioning- Chicken Karange (extra crispy also) The Bibimbap, and the Sushi Rolls. All very good. If you're looking for a late night snack when the options are limited - definitely give this place a try ! read more

Note: this is based on a delivery experience. Price/quality (0/4): I ordered toro sashimi and a bunch of rolls. The toro sashimi came with fishbones and was not fully thawed, the unagi used for the dragon roll was clearly not fresh, and the California roll tasted a little weird (it was real crab but nowhere near as good as it could be). Service (1/1): The food came reasonably quickly. Would I order from here again: No read more

This little place is cozy, comfortable, clean and the sushi was fantastic. Miso soup and prawn tempura starters. Everything was served by a wonderful chef who really knew her stuff. I would go back, in fact, I want to return for some of the bibimbap or Korean ramen. Do not pass up a chance to visit Sushi Coen :) read more

Walking around Vancouver you'll see one million inexpensive sushi joints. Sushi Coen is just another among many, presenting no compelling reason for you to run across town for a visit. I popped in for a visit when they'd not been open long and found it satisfied, not as a destination restaurant, but as a neighborhood place. Vancouver-ites live right there in the heart of the city so lucky for Sushi Coen, they have a lot of neighbors. So, what comprises an "inexpensive" sushi joint? Think Sushi Combo for $9 Canadian ($7 US). Think a uniquely delicious Spicy Tuna Roll for $3 Canadian (about $2.25 US). With one exception (mackerel tasted not great) this meal was completely satisfying. Service was sweet, with my Japanese waiter asking if I'd like more miso soup after I'd finished off my bowlful, an offer not generally heard. He'd also never heard the phrase "hit the spot" which I used to describe to him my post-meal satisfaction level. So, it's possible that he's as new to town as Sushi Coen. This place isn't doing anything that half of Vancouver already has in practically every block but that doesn't mean that I don't wish it were in my town, doing just what they do and at those prices. I do. Sushi Coen hits the spot. read more

Sushi Coen - Sushi Combo ($9 Canadian) - very decent and well priced tho' I wasn't a fan of the mackerel. - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This place is a little Gem just off the the Burrard Bridge. Location of the restaurant is a bit off the grid of downtown center. So for that reason many people would not know this place exist. If you write a yelp review or leave a comment you get a free gyoza with your meal. So I came here with my friend. We both pretty much got the samething. I got the Sashimi combo for $8 and a chopped scallop cone for $3. Prices are very reasonable and yes its a pretty good deal. Also on top the free gyoza. I don't like spicy food and the gyoza was spicy so I had 1.5 pieces. I should have told them in advance not to put siracha sauce on it. So at the end the owner thought their gyoza was yucky and asked if it tasted bad. I told them there were nothing wrong its just that its too spicy and I burn while eating it. She looked relief. I like the choped scallop cone. Its very fresh. Sashimi combo came with tempura and california roll and 5 pieces Sashimi. The Sashimi are not like giant pieces but are ok. The place is ran by Korean and I always thing Korean makes good Japanese food. This place worked out well because my friend rides a bike and she gets to park right outside the restaurant. Yes she works downtown as well. So this place is definitely a plus for her. I will come back one day. read more

Great quality food for good price! It's a small place for a sit down but nonetheless friendly service. we ordered some rolls, tapas and sashimi (pictured - one piece eaten) and everything was very delicious. An added bonus was them serving free spring rolls as appetizer! So nice. A very solid sushi location for what it stands for! I don't live too close but this may be my next go-to take out place. read more

First time trying this place, ordered Roll Combo C (California , Spicy Tuna and Dynamite roll) I swear the chefs working there are slacking or something. California roll - came with the tiniest little piece of avocado inside each sushi, literally the size of a rice grain. Also, it didn't come with any cucumber!! Spicy tuna roll - tasted really mushy and it was warm, overall not fresh, stomach was feeling weird after. Dynamite roll - was ok, the only roll I finished and threw out the rest. honestly the worst sushi I've ever tasted and I've tried a lot of sushi restaurants around Vancouver. read more

Came here with a group of friends. I ordered the sashimi bento and unagi roll. The sashimi was fresh. The accompanying tempura's batter tasted clean and not overly greasy. The unagi roll, in my opinion, had too much sauce, which overpowered the taste of the unagi itself. Aside from the food, the owners were friendly. They gave our table two plates of gyoza on the house. When they heard it was one of our friend's birthday, they also gave him a sundae! read more

Prices looked good but sadly I couldn't commit. Upon arrival, it was empty for 1pm on a weekday. The waitress was on the phone but pointed to a seat I could have. A short moment after sitting down, the waitress asked me if I was ready yet. I told her that I wasn't ready and needed more time. After going to the back to put back the phone, she came out and asked me again. I told her I still needed more time, but she continued to stay beside the table with her notepad ready. After a good couple of minutes, I felt uncomfortable and decided to leave. It felt bad, but I was building up anxiety while being watched and expected to place an order. It wasn't a great experience, and I don't think I'll be sitting here solo again anytime soon, but the reviews said this place was good for some affordable food. Perhaps what I recommend for the business is to be more welcoming. A simple smile or hello would have made the difference. read more

Hands down some amazing sushi I've ever had! We called ahead of time and made a reservation because we thought it would be busy on a Friday night, but when we got there it was completely empty. It was the cutest hole in the wall restaurant that I've ever been to. The service was great and the sushi was amazing! If you're ever in that area you should definitely try their sushi! read more

One of my favorite sushi restaurants for a quick & cheap grab & go. Their spicy tuna is amazing, it's the spicy sauce! Also they have bento boxes which are good value for the food you get versus what you pay. Would recommend it as like to support these smaller businesses. read more

It was the midst of the lunch rush today, a Friday, and I wanted to go somewhere that wouldn't be too packed. Strolled down Burrard Street and noticed this place was open! It formerly was a sushi restaurant, a Korean restaurant, and a ramen shop. It is now Japanese again. Walk in, (it's always been a very small space inside) and the first thing I notice is how new and clean everything looks and smells. There is still the new wood smell. Was told by the server it's a soft opening right now. Anyway I ordered the "O Combo" which gets you 8 pieces of California roll, assorted tempura, and your choice of quinoa green salad, chicken teriyaki, nigiri sushi, or sashimi for $8. It was a no brainer I chose sashimi. Also had the takoyaki and tuna tataki (yes together in one dish) and the croquette. The food and taste of the O Combo is about what you would expect from you regular Japanese restaurant. The pieces are neither too small that you would still be hungry or too big where it is awkward to fit in your mouth. But definitely decent value for the price considering it is in downtown. I hope the soft opening doesn't mean the price will go up after they have a grand opening. The takoyaki and tuna tataki I just had to order because it is two items I love in one dish. Felt the tuna could have been bigger but the entire dish was still delicious. However, the winner here is definitely the croquette. I felt like I was eating a samosa but in croquette form. Probably one of the best croquettes I've had in a long time. Service is excellent and is genuinely nice and attentive. Only downside is that the food did take a little long considering we were the only table dining. Maybe they will have things ironed out after a couple of weeks. Anyways, I will definitely be back! read more

If you're looking for super affordable, decently-fresh tasting takeout sushi, you can't really go wrong with this choice. The restaurant is pretty small so I wouldn't recommend it for dining in, unless you're just looking for something quick and casual. Their combination sets are priced so low it's hard to believe e.g. 24 pieces of sushi + miso soup for around $11 with tax included. What?! Miso soup was pretty good - had a nice broth and the right amount of seaweed and tofu. Some of the rolls have a bit too much rice, but that's to be expected at this price point. The fish tasted fresh enough. Service is fast. Dinner was ready for pick-up about 15 mins after calling. This is a great option for people living in the neighborhood. I just wish there was something like this close to where I live. read more

Great food. Great service! Definitely coming back the next time I'm in Vancouver. This place is small and quaint and you honestly cannot go wrong with any of their sushi roll options. All six rolls of sushi that my cousins and I ordered were delicious. We ordered the Hawaiian roll (topped with fresh mango and mango sauce YUM!), dragon roll, dynamite roll, she's on fire roll, crazy girl roll, and honestly I forgot the last roll but I do remember it having jalapeño and cream cheese. The sweet lady who served us also provided us with miso soup before our meal and frozen grapes after our meal! Despite the fact that we ordered six rolls, which by the way is more than enough to satisfy three people, our bill was a little over $40. We were in disbelief. This place certainly gave us bang for our buck. Highly recommend! read more

Yum! Yum!! We enjoyed dining at Sushi Coen SO MUCH! In my opinion this is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Vancouver. Fresh, beautiful and perfectly rolled. As you know, there are too many Sushi restaurants in the downtown Vancouver, offering the same or similar flavours - Sushi Coen is not one of those places! Plus, everything is so cheap! (Awesome California R is only $3, Chicken Teri Don is only $5!) Salmon poke, Tropical chicken salad and Takoyaki with tuna tataki are my favourites! Go enjoy Sushi Coen if you're in the area. ;) read more

I ordered a delivery dinner through Foodora from Sushi Coen and had a bad experience. - restaurant took over an hour to prepare the food - I ordered 7 salmon sashimi pieces and only received 4 - the salmon sashimi was literally partially FROZEN - rolls were poorly made and falling apart - rolls had very little fish Overall, this was not a restaurant quality meal but more like a grocery store. read more

This was our 5 choice for sushi in Vancouver on. Friday night. We had a party of 6 at 7:00 pm and we were H-Angry after a really long day. We were surprised at how small and quaint it was and were the only people in the place. We ordered sashimi, miso soup, several salads, tons of rolls and green tea. ( they don't serve ANY alcohol) We over ordered! All at once the 6 rolls and 8 different kinds is sashimi came out and we were not disappointed. Wow! Everything was awesome and perfectly served. We left very satisfied and so glad we found this great hole in a wall!!! Try their specialty rolls but the salmon sashimi was off the charts! read more

To keep it short, the food was good but nothing special. The service was nice, the prices were fair. But to be honest, based on the other reviews, I expected a more stand out meal. I wouldn't mind coming here again, but I definitely won't be seeking it out or be super excited about eating here. At the very least, I guess I'll have a better idea of what to expect. read more

Delicious sushi at a great price! Had the wild salmon roll, Alaska roll, and spicy tuna roll, all delicious. Miso soup for only $0.50?!?! Yes, please!!! read more

Their prices are cheaper than other sushi places. I guess that is why the sushi pieces (e.g. saba, tai, chopped scallop) and the sashimi pieces are smaller than the ones at other sushi places. The price reflects the quality. The tuna for the tuna sushi is different than the tuna for the tuna sashimi (white vs. red), and the toro is not as fatty as the ones at other sushi places. You can taste the octopus bits and the lettuce for the takoyaki, and the takoyaki is big. The wasabi tastes less spicy than the usual wasabi. This place seems to be better than Sushi Osaka because they both have the same quality, but the price of Sushi Coen is cheaper. read more

Quite possibly the worst tasting sushi I've had in a while. Calamari roll was just batter. Flying pig toll tasted like a spicy tuna roll. Beef yaki udon came smelling off. Very fishy smell to it. Also the gyoza were cold, not just room temp but cold. Would never recommend to anyone. read more

To start off this review is for their delivery (via Foodora)! We've ordered twice from here now and have had mixed experiences, the first time we ordered the food was great - the gyozas were tasty (especially for delivery) and all the rolls we tried were tasty and seemed fresh enough. However, our second order from here was a disappointment - the rice tasted a little off, the fish seemed a little off, and all the rolls had a strange funk to it (maybe off night in the kitchen?). No food poisoning though so that's a positive! Given the limited number of sushi delivery options on Foodora we might have it in us to try this one more time so hopefully our most recent delivery was a one-off event! Overall, their special rolls definitely seem to be alot better than their basic rolls (i.e., Negitoro/Salmon/California rolls) and nigiri. read more

Food poisoning warning! I ordered take out from Sushi Coen via Foodora on a Sunday evening. My order consisted of a dynamite roll, some salmon, some mackerel, some tuna, among other things. Several hours later - in the middle of the night - I woke up with a high fever and began vomiting. I vomited several more times and was out of it for a few days. While the food tasted fine, there are likely some food handling, safety, or freshness issues here. I won't be eating at Sushi Coen again. read more

Very creative dishes here! Not like all the standard sushi places in Vancouver. The food is interesting enough to keep us coming back! My favourite is the Takoyaki with Tuna Tataki. read more

Sushi Coen - Takoyaki with Tuna Tataki - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

VILE to say the least. The "sushi" if we can even call it that looked like it had been prepared by an infant without thumbs. It practically arrived as a mash of rice with the fillings falling out everywhere, all stuck together in one mushy goop. The tempura had BLACK WOK GRIME on it evidently from oil that hasn't been changed since they opened doors. The Gomae had a weird chemical taste to it and my partner actually had to spit it out (no jokes). All of it felt like we were eating stale leftovers reconfigured as sushi to save cost. Save yourself the pain. read more

I don't think I've ever experienced such terrible service in my life.... though I do know it's the worst Japanese restaurant experience I have ever had. Bestie and I came here as it is close to my apartment, and being hardcore Yelpers, we chose Sushi Coen because of its 4.5 star rating. We walked in on a weekday night, to a tiny and empty restaurant- those standing around were waiting for their take out orders. We seated ourselves at a table which still had the previous diners dishes on it, so we cleared the table and waited, hoping the lady at the till would bring us menus. My friend decided to grab some take out menus at the front, as no one was acknowledging us at all. Finally when we decided on our orders, the lady from the till came to us with the dine in menus. We told her we were ready, and she quickly took our orders. We each decided on the sashimi combo which comes with 2 pieces of tuna and 2 pieces of salmon sashimi. My friend requested to have 4 pieces of salmon. The lady asked if it was ok to add extra charge for this substitution, but before my friend could answer she said that she wouldn't charge. Then she asked if she would like miso soup for 50 cents extra. As my friend was deciding, the lady told her it's ok, it would be included for free as well. Well heck, I went for the exact same deal! I also ordered takoyaki. Our orders came out after a longer than normal time, but we were given a decent deal and received 5 pieces of salmon rather than 4. About 15-20 min after receiving our sashimi platters, I noticed I still didn't get my takoyaki. When my friend went up to order more food, the lady came rushing over with our bills. I reminded her about the takoyaki which she had forgotten. It was a rather stressful and annoying visit at Sushi Coen. My friend and I felt like we had to do most the work. The Sushi was good and I'm sure that's why they have a 4.5 star rating. Although the lady was nice for including some freebies, the service is something I do not want to experience again. read more

This is a small little restaurant with enough chairs to sit about 12 people. Luckily there was one more table available for my party of 5. However, we sat there for about 15 minutes before one of the workers walked through the front door (not sure where he went to for so long/ where he came back from) and finally took our order. We tried several nigiri, sashimi, and roll combos. All of the fish is fresh. The toro nigiri was particularly delicious. They gave us complimentary gyoza as well. One complaint about the sushi is that the rice was a bit hard. Maybe it was overcooked. I thought I was the only one who noticed but one person mentioned it at the table and we all agreed. Luckily the fish quality itself was great. read more

I've never actually eaten in the restaurant, but have ordered take out a few times recently from here. I am really impressed at the quality and price of this sushi - it might be the best cheap sushi I've found in this city! Since Kadoya closed on Denman I've been looking for another place that had great sashimi - this is my new go-to! The rolls are great, and the sunomono salad has chunks of strawberry and mango in it... Delicious! 4.5 stars. Update: they have increased the prices by about 25%. When you throw on a $6 delivery charge through lazymeal & /tax/tip it ends up being almost a $40 meal for 1 person. Will not be back. Too bad, the sushi itself was good. read more
