    My review might be off as I'm new to Vancouver and the sushi in Toronto is nothing compares to here. With that said, I really enjoyed my meal here! Went here because I was in the area and they had really good lunch options and very affordable also. By the time I was seated and got served, there was a lineup of people waiting so that says something right? I had ordered their C9 lunch special which consisted of: rice, miso soup, a side salad, tempura (2 shrimps, 2 potato's), and spicy salmon roll - all for only $8.50. Mind blowing! The miso soup was tastey - definitely tasted the miso flavour instead of it being watered down. The tempuras were fresh and crunchy and superb! The salad was also good - they didn't drench it in dressing. The roll was amazing! Fresh salmon pieces and the spiciness was from thebsiracha on top which I thought was unique. I'd definitely go here again during lunch break!

    Just finished eating Saba Nigiri, Toro Nigiri and Spicy tuna rolls. These are basic dish for a sushi place and you cannot mess it up unless you are using a realLy shitty quality ingredients. However, all three of them were plain, falling apart and tasted pretty bad as I was able to taste the frozen low quality fish. They didn't even give me any ginger or wasabi. The price is cheap but the quality of food and service are even cheaper.

    Beef teriyaki combo.

    Solid value, but lacking a bit in craftsmanship. I ordered a chicken teriyaki combo and a salmon teriyaki combo. Worked out to be about $21 in total, which is a very good value. We were completely satiated with the quantity of the food. Everything tasted fresh, and flavorful. Service was quick and friendly. The only complaint I have was that the sushi rolls were made quite sloppily. The rolls looked inconsistent in size and proportion sitting next to each other. The tuna rolls had a lot of loose grains of rice sticking to the outside seaweed wrapping. More than one roll fell apart on the journey from the platter to my mouth, and I am reasonably adept at using chopsticks. I would be more understanding if the restaurant was busy and the rolls were made in haste, but there was only one other person there at the time. Not a big deal, since sloppy sushi tastes the same as perfectly crafted sushi, but details like these are what separate 4 star joints from 5 star joints.

    While running errands back in October, we were looking for something quick and tasty to eat around the Broadway area. Since there is an overabundance of sushi places in Vancouver, we decided to try Sushi Dragon. This restaurant is rather narrow but the large mirrors on the left wall makes the place feel bigger than it really is. It seemed like they cater mostly to take-out orders as we saw a lot of people coming in to pick up their orders while we waited for our food. The Beef Teriyaki ($6.50) was pretty good and at a relatively fair price. The thin slices of beef were covered in a nice sauce. The House Special Roll ($5.50) had tuna, salmon, scallop and fake crab on the inside and was topped with tobiko. The Assorted Sashimi ($12.50) came with hokkigai (surf clam), tai (sea bream) which was beautifully delicate, toro (fatty tuna), salmon, and tuna. Overall, the sashimi was pretty good with a nice, clean finish. Last up was some nigiri: Toro ($1.75), Unagi ($1.75), Tamago ($1.35), Ikura ($1.75), Chopped Scallop ($1.50). The only negative that I have to say for the nigiri was that the nori was a bit tough. I was actually surprised at how good the food was at this small little take-out shop.

    A small restaurant on Broadway in Vancouver. I ordered Chicken and Egg with rice. Only $8.50!! Such a friendly price. Comes with great portion and it tastes very good.

    roll combo 3: spicy tuna and spicy salmon
    Andrea C.

    **3.5 stars** Items: two combos - spicy tuna roll + spicy salmon roll, and dynamite roll + california roll (real crab add $1) Pros: clean, simple elegant decor, great service - no complaints there, quick, excellent lunch prices and i like that the rolls don't have an inch of rice around them Cons: not the best quality fish but also not bad - somewhere in the middle, seaweed around rolls a bit too chewy, salmon was not wild sockeye Bottom line: i'll be back.

    First time at this Japanese restaurant, and it was really great!…read more Signature Japanese Fried Pork Cutlet Rosu Katsu $27 This time I was smarter and ordered the cut with a good balance of fat and lean meat. The moment I bit into it, it was bursting with juice! The meat was incredibly thick but not dry at all, and the outer skin was crispy like snowflakes. The first bite was amazing; I've never had such a delicious pork cutlet in Shanghai. Curry Pork Cutlet Rosu Curry $29.5 My friend ordered the curry pork cutlet today, and it was surprisingly excellent! The curry flavor was incredibly rich and full-bodied. Wrapped in the crispy pork cutlet and eaten with rice, it was pure carb bliss! Freshly Ground Sesame Powder I have to praise their freshly ground sesame powder; the aroma of the sesame seeds you grinded yourself was a real highlight. * With lemon salt: Refreshing and original, a perfect way to cut through the richness! * With barbecue sauce: Mixed with sesame powder, the flavors develop layer by layer. With two flavors to choose from, it's really hard to stop! I'll definitely come back to try it again next time.

Service was attentive and the restaurant decor was sleek and modern. I will absolutely be back next time I'm in Vancouver!

    I made a reservation at Okeya Kyujiro for my partner's 40th birthday, and he had the best time…read more Honestly, it was one of the most memorable omakase experiences I've had in Vancouver. Okeya Kyujiro is a Michelin one-star theatrical omakase restaurant, and when they say theatrical, they mean it! From the moment you're welcomed by smiling ushers in kimono to the closing tea ceremony, every movement feels intentional, precise, and elevated. The ambiance is serene and anticipatory. At the start, guests sit in silence as a black screen conceals the chefs. You see their shadows moving behind it. A bell rings, the screen lifts, and the performance begins. Dinner is a 25+ course experience priced at $325 per person. It's undeniably a splurge, but for a milestone celebration, it feels justified. The menu is seafood-forward, with many ingredients flown in from Japan. Each ingredient is presented before preparation, then carefully assembled and served directly from chef to guest. Courses arrive one by one, never rushed. The service team moves seamlessly in the background, refilling water and attending to drinks (available as an add-on) without disrupting the flow. The finale is a matcha ceremony, whisked in front of you with the same quiet precision that defines the evening. When the final sip is taken, the bell chimes once more, the chefs and staff bow, and the screens close. It was a beautifully choreographed dining experience, perfect for marking a special moment, and one I'd gladly return to for the next celebration.

    Service was really amazing with servers explaining each dish and drinks were always topped off…read more Food was good, but maybe this isn't quite my style of omakase compared to the other ones I've tried. This is a more theatrical style so expect louder music and a more theatrical experience (eg one of the servers played the flute for the guests celebrating birthdays). I prefer a more intimidate and interactive style of omakase where you can talk with the chefs. This lunch also felt a little fast in terms of progression of the meal. Some of the dishes were very tasty while others didn't wow us. With drinks, we were quite full despite some reviews saying portion is on the smaller size. Our total was around $500 with drinks for 2 people. A really good experience for omakase, especially if you are looking for a unique experience though not my favourite one I've tried.

    I came here for dinner on a weeknight with two foodie friends of mine. Said friends lived in Japan…read morefor over a decade and they've dined here often in the past, saying it's very "authentic" Izakaya and it reminds them of their past life in Japan (which they miss a lot). Me, I know nothing about Izakaya or what is or isn't authentic Japanese cuisine, so this review is coming from someone with zero knowledge or expectation of any specific foods or experiences. Despite it being a weeknight, the place was packed. It was good that we had a reservation. There was a couple in line before me and they were walk-ins, and there were no available seats for them. I noted how small this place was, and crowded, with the tables close together and a long bar with a counter and barstools there (also close together). Our reserved table was right by the front door - literally, - so every time the door opened, we got a gust of cold air (and it was a cold February night when we were there). I kept my coat on. Truth be known, I was not very comfortable. Also, it was loud. Very loud. I like how the staff shout Japanese greetings to diners whenever they enter but between the frequent shouts and the sheer volume of chatter from all the diners, all sitting close together in close proximity, it was kinda hard to hear what my friends were saying during our dinner. That said, the environment was super vibrant and, again, my friends said this was very typical of an Izakaya in Japan. Food-wise, I have no idea what my friends ordered. The menu was primarily available by way of a QR code and I had no idea what the dishes were, so I deferred to my friends' knowledge. But I can attest that all the dishes were DELICIOUS. We had some sort of Japanese street food "pancakes" (they were wonderful). We had some sort of stirfry beef with noodles (amazing). We had two types of sashimi (omg both were so fresh and so so good!). We had a few other dishes that I can't recall, but I remember I loved them. So.... the food here was GREAT. Service was also attentive which I hadn't expected, being as busy as the restaurant was. I really liked this place but I'll probably go back in the summertime when the weather is nicer as I was cold there, and I'd dine at an off-time, when the volume wasn't so loud. (I'm too old for the loudness!).
