    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.

    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.

    I went here for a late dinner on a weeknight. The restaurant was very clean, quiet, and welcoming. The wait staff was friendly and patiently answered my questions about the menu. Food arrived quickly. Service overall was excellent! Food was good! Decent Vancouver sushi. Nothing totally crazy here - this is comfort food type sushi. The food was plated nicely, and the ingredients were fresh and tasty. Time-warp prices. I felt like I'd been transported to Vancouver in 2003. Solid value, friendly service, quiet and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended for a basic sushi dinner on a weeknight!!

The setting is gorgeous, right next to the water, and the service and wine list befits a Michelin restaurant. They aren't able to sit bigger parties next to a window though. The sushi is spectacular. They specialize in Aburi and that does not disappoint. We had four: - Miku roll, with torched fish eggs, the texture and flavour are incredible. - surf and turf, this has beef tataki and da really different but good flavour - salmon and saba Oshi Aburi. My kids favourite. The flavour - it just melts in your mouth and it is sooo good. The flavour is what really stands out. It's not a huge portion. All the appetizers are excellent. In particular our group loved the tofu salad. My daughter says it's the best salad she ever had. Ebi fritters were outstanding too. Crunchy and delish but somehow light at the same time. The brussel sprouts were a bit spicy. Spinach Gomae has an amazing flavour. The desserts are great too. The banana mousse in particular was sublime. You can't go wrong here for your next occasion.

I completely understand that the space inside is limited, and waiting can be unavoidable. What made the experience less comfortable was not the wait itself, but the way it was communicated. Being asked to wait outside felt a bit cold and impersonal. In situations like this, a more friendly explanation, a small sign at the door, or even a simple system that lets customers know when to come back could make the wait feel much more considerate and human. Running a small restaurant is not easy, especially in today's economic climate. I truly believe that with a warmer, more customer-oriented approach, this place could do very well. This review is meant as a gentle suggestion, and I hope it's taken in that spirit.

    We dropped into Minami for happy hour and were seated immediately…read more We ordered from the happy hour menu for a quick snack before dinner plans: Brussels sprouts were the surprise standout: crisped edges, a nice caramelized finish, and enough seasoning to keep each bite interesting. The oshi sampler (their signature pressed sushi) looked tidy and well-composed, and the textures were clean, though the flavors didn't quite pop the way I'd hoped. The roll we ordered was fine, nothing to write home about. Happy hour pricing makes this an accessible way to try Minami's menu. That said, I left feeling like I'd rather spend more for items not on the happy hour menu.

The wagyu carpaccio had so much sauce and stuff that you couldn't taste the meat anymore. The tuna had a very "fishy" taste, the kind you get when you've left it out too long and it's not fresh. Dessert was average though the ice cream & sorbet were very good, with nice flavours. Service was also mixed. Not bad but also could definitely have been better. The server we had was difficult to get his attention when needed. Restaurant itself is nicely decorated, but gets quite noisy when full.

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.
