Okay, so... like some others mentioned, when I was a new customer here, service was prompt and barely polite. However, after a few visits, the staff seemed more friendly since they started to recognize me. Some people just take time to warm up to others, which isn't always a bad thing. It was a bit odd at first because most Japanese-run establishments are known for their hospitality and courteous service, so this place is somewhat of an anomaly. But if you're looking for sushi from an actual Japanese-run restaurant, Sushi Go is one of the few (if not only) options in the Champlain Mall vicinity. The restaurant is small inside so it's not well suited for large groups. They do have a few small tables for dine-in customers, but it's primarily a quick-eat / take-out establishment. The food is fairly consistent and usually pretty tasty, though a few times for takeout the sushi seemed to be hastily made since the rice fell apart easily, probably because it was ordered during the dinner rush. I haven't had that experience when dining in the restaurant. Overall, it's not a bad choice in the area for Japanese-made sushi. read more

We ordered takeout at Sushi Go at Champlain Square. We heard the cashier communicate with the chef in Japanese, so we assumed it should be an authentic Japanese sushi house. The food was decent, but we encountered bones in our salmon sushi. Fortunately, we found the bones rather than the kids eating them. The portion was decent for the price compared to other places. On the table: masago nigiri tobiko nigiri avocado roll cucumber roll futomaki roll dynamite roll California roll salmon sushi Food: 3/5 Can Try! Service: Ordered takeout Kids: 5/5 WooHoo! (Sushi is mostly a very popular meal for kids.) Price: $50-$100 for six (dinner) Presentation: 2/5 Parking: 3/5 ample parking at the square Tips: * has vegetarian options. * can call and order takeout in advance. Would I Return: Maybe read more

The older woman at the counter had an extremely bad attitude. I came in to buy sushi and she couldn't even give me a smile or a thank you."

Good quality sushi option in the area! The fish was very fresh. Slightly more expensive than most places for the quantity, but I guess you can do that being the only sushi place in the neighbourhood. They don't do the "special" rolls like some other places do if that's what you're after. However, they still offer an extensive menu of the classics. We tried the following: Assorted Aburi - $20.95 (5/5 stars): This was our favourite choice. It came with two pieces each of the tuna toro, salmon toro, saba, and wild salmon. They were gently torched on top for that lovely smoky flavour that I love about aburi sushi. Spicy Tuna Roll - $6.95 (4/5 stars): Good quality, however it was not very spicy at all. Spider Roll - $10.95 (3/5 stars): I love soft-shelled crab so we gave this a try. The crab was delicious but I'm giving it 3 stars for the value. $10.95 is just over-priced for what you get with this roll. Agedashi tofu - $5.95 (2/5 stars): Not my favourite agedashi tofu, the exterior needed to be more crispy. read more

If the only reason you came here for sushi because it is "convenient" since it is situated in Champlain mall, then think again. I live in the hood and this is only my second time seating in. I usually order to-go. What a disappointment today. The sushi tasted bland and unfresh. It was sliced so thick (my biggest pet peeve) and what's with the extra mayo on the Alaska roll. And don't get me started on the chicken karage. The colour looked absurd. How many times did they reuse the oil? I honestly don't remember it being this bad. We had so much leftover that we didn't even bother packing it because we know we will never eat it. If you're hungry and want to have sushi, go a bit further and try Hyoga or Shima-Ya. read more

Sushi Go - Deluxe Chirashi don - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I loved this place so much but the quality of the nigiri in my to-go box was horrible. So chewy. Cut wrong and had specks of dried blood in it. They should never have served this in the nigiri. I even called to complain about it and they said that the tuna was fresh but I highly doubt it. Even if it was tuna they got the day of, the shouldn't have served this. Poor quality. The dragon roll was so soggy too and I got there within 15 minutes of placing the order which is how long they said it would take. I'm pretty sure they served me one that was sitting around for a while. read more

Fast, cheap and good sushi. My friend wanted to grab a quick dinner tonight and suggested Sushi Go. Are you serious? It sounds like a fast food joint. To my pleasant surprise, the restaurant looks like they put some care into decorating. It's not a huge place, but there were about 6 or 7 tables. You order the food at the counter and they will bring the food to you, -tea is self serve. The best part is that you can substitute any rolls or nigiri with brown rice for an extra cost. Healthy and it didn't even put a dent in my wallet. read more

Came here this eve and ordered at the counter, poured our own water from the water station and I guess they charge for tea.. the tuna sashimi was still partially frozen(salmon was fine), the gyoza was served with chilli oil, so we got up and asked if we got the wrong sauce(because it's like fast food style they won't check in) but they said that's how they do it. There were still scales on the salmon nigiri, which I can't say I've encountered before eating sushi multiple times a week for years. They don't offer up any share plates if you're sharing which is a bit awkward. They don't do specialty rolls which is totally fine, but then excel at the rest on a limited menu which I really felt they didn't. read more

Speaking only to their BEEF BENTO box here. My taste buds were pleased! They stick to a more Japanese style of preparing menu items. Starting with the MISO SOUP, it had a generous amount a of tofu. The BEEF TERIYAKI was the highlight. Real pieces of beef that were not too fatty but graciously tender without all that sweet teriyaki sauce on top. Bonus of red candied ginger sprinkled on the side. The two pieces of NIGIRI were tasty. The Japanese salad, which had spinach, lettuce, cucumber and radish, used the proper (and delicious) SESAME dressing. Finally, the CALIFORNIA ROLL is not he kind that has a ton of mayonnaise. Not a lot of sitting space, but definitely worth checking out if you're in he neighbourhood! read more

Sushi Go - Beef bento box - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I live in the area and when I was younger I'd get food here after school. The food here is pretty authentic which I find hard to come by for Japanese food in Vancouver. My personal favourite is the takoyaki because of how authentic it tastes- no other Japanese restaurant in Vancouver that I've eaten at makes it like Sushi Go, to be honest. The staff here are friendly and it's a nice environment to dine in. However, the prices are a little higher than most Japanese restaurants but I guess you're paying for quality. Also, if you're going to eat in you'll find that most of the tables are taken up around the peak times because of the small interior. Nonetheless, it's a decent Japanese place to stop by when you're in the area. read more

This is an order first, seat after restaurant. The hostess wasn't welcoming. No smile, she either hates her job or just didn't want to be there today. Brought my parents and sister; first time at the location, and won't be back. We ordered: Chicken teriyaki don, Chicken udon, Beef udon, Dragon roll and Rainbow rolls. Rolls were fine. Pricey but OK. Chicken teriyaki don - it was OK; no additional sauce, just chicken soaked in teriyaki on rice with few lettuce leaves Chicken udon - legit just chicken in udon; no additional veggies Beef udon - the beef tasted old Meh. Experienced better as the 2 star indicates. read more

Ok so I've been here a couple of times, because it was close to my work at the time. I recently stopped in after the longest time and I still have to say that my review is just a 3. The restaurant is small and service is always a little cold. I always find the cashiers to be rude and impatient. I found that my sushi was good but not great. I had the avocado roll, California roll and dynamite roll. They were all ok. As well I've noticed that their brown rice is always warm. It kind of makes the sushi grosse. No one wants a warm avocado roll etc. So I don't understand why this is a constant problem for this location but not other sushi restaurants. There is complimentary green tea and the service is quick enough but honestly even Togo in Oakridge mall is better than this. I won't be going back if I don't have too. There are too many great sushi restaurants in this city to go to this one. Sorry Sushi go! read more

Today was my first visit to Sushi Go here since the pandemic began and it was always fine in the past. The lady who took my order today asked me not to pay with cash because she was out of change so I said, "Sure." and got out my debit card. I ordered and asked for water and she said "We don't have water." so I grabbed a bottle of iced tea. I told her what table I'd like to sit at. She said I hadn't spent enough money to be allowed to dine in, I was $1.50 short and $15 was the minimum. I said, "But every table is empty." Then she said, "It doesn't matter and you haven't shown me a vaccination passport." I said, "I have it right here." She still said no. By then I was fed up and said I just wanted my money back. She said it would have to go back on my debit card and I pulled it out but she couldn't get it to work so gave me back cash. I told her I was going to put my experience on FB and she said, "I don't care." I was shocked by her attitude and indifference to me. After years of going there, I'm done. I can't give this place even one star read more

Decent sushi for quick bites with a selection of rolls and combos like most Japanese restaurants in Vancouver. Have tried most rolls and sashimi on menu, including sashimi salad, typically good experience with raw fish served. Avoid the chicken udon at all times though --- the chicken tasted like liver and cutlets look like bits of chicken found in canned soup rather than the Main feature of dish. It was so disgusting I ended up picking out the chicken and threw it out. read more

Sushi Go - "Chicken" Udon - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I have been to this restaurant 2 times I find the fish to be fresh and they and delicious and the rolls were good aswell. I am giving it 3 stars because I would definitely go back but it doesn't have the wow factor. read more

Only been here twice and loved it both times. Once was a eat in experience and the other take out. Both times I ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box. I like that the chicken is skinless and pan fried. And not over drenched with sauce but still have nice flavour. The salad was tasty though I wished there was a little more. But then I'm a big eater. :) The california rolls were good as well. I find that miso soup at most other Japanese restaurants are too salty but here it was just right. My wife had the tuna and salmon and she loved her meal both times. If you're in the Champlain area and feel like Japanese I recommend this place. read more

The food (sushi) just doesn't taste very good here anymore. It's been declining for over a year but last night was the worst. ordered take out (California, tuna and Alaskan rolls) and couldn't bring myself to finish. Won't be back. read more

Food is pretty consistent at Sushi Go. We usually order bentos & negiri sushi there. Both are good. Service is good too.

I just had a shrimp tempura roll and a chopped scallop roll. The tempura roll had a weird stench to the batter due to using old frying oil. So I would advise getting anything fried. I did however enjoy the chopped scallop roll. read more

I needed somewhere close by to drop in for lunch with my kid, and the yelp reviews looked good, so I stopped in. First, I walk in and ask for a table for two. The waitress tells me that despite the fact that the place looks like a normal dine in sushi restaurant, I need to order at the counter. Not having been here before, I stood at the front counter like a dork for 5 minutes looking over the menu instead of while sitting at a table with a cup of tea like at any other civilized restaurant. Nigiri also comes in pairs only, which limited my options. Anyway, i order up 4 rolls, none very fancy, pay right away (+tip), and then go sit down. The food comes quickly, and I'm trying to get my kid settled with his meal so I ask the waitress for a glass of water. She points to the self serve tea/water station at the sushi bar. Great. I'm in a self serve cafeteria disguised as a restaurant. There are only 4 other customers in the place, and she's just hanging out behind the counter eating. The sushi is actually pretty good, particularly the sushi rice. Nice and firm, not soggy and seasoned well. But, I ended up finding these thin white threads of either cotton or a synthetic fuzz stuck to the bottom of my sushi. I pulled it off easily and kept eating as i didn't want to be there any longer than I had to. Another couple came in to eat, and no one seemed as weirded out as I was by the counter service, so I'm sure it's my own personal hang up when I'm not eating in a mall food court. The waitress though delivered their food to them while still chewing her own food. I'm not really squeamish about much in a restaurant, but that's not really a bonus. Nitpick: my soy sauce dish had some dried food in it. Not the end of the world, but yet another knock against a place that I was already not digging. So, in 30 minutes, too many knocks against this place. Never coming back considering how many other places are willing to pour you a glass of water when you stop in for lunch. read more

Not bad but on the expensive side. Had the dynamite rolls and beef udon have had better but the location is convenient for me.

Had the Salmon oshi ($14) with 8 pieces. Pretty decent portion for price compared to other places. Pretty good but on the saltier side which I don't mind. Also tried the chicken tempura curry. The chicken tempura was really good, very light tasting for a deep fried item. Curry was average, would be better if it came out hot. read more

Sushi Go - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Sushi Go is located in Champlain Mall, a small shopping centre. It came with high recommendation from our Japanese friends. Sushi Go does a big take out business. There are about 10 tables to sit at, and we chose to eat in. Order at the front cashier, and your food will be delivered to your table. Indicate that you want wild salmon, or you will have farm fish. There is a charge for wild, but worth it for the taste. We had mackerel, eel, shrimp, gyoza, gomma ae, and lots of serve yourself tea. The ginger was tender. Our food was very well-prepared, traditional style, not sure if it was because we were mainly Japanese speakers - and ordered in Japanese. Tasty, fresh, rice was very good in the sushi, overall a very good feast! Lots of parking in the mall! Bonus! read more

This is more of a takeaway kind of place but you can dine in here. Its the first restaurant where I had dinner alone. It's also the first time I was referred to as obasan (the sushi chef asked how long the obasan was waiting) the cashier incredulously asked "Obasan? She's not that old." bless her heart. I put a big tip in the tip cup that day. The staff here are Japanese. The hot foods are pretty good even though there's not a huge selection. The sushi is good too. I think it is slightly overpriced, especially the bento box. $14 for chicken teriyaki combo. read more

I came here for lunch as I was in the Champlain Plaza neighborhood. It looks like a take-out & sit in joint with simple but modern renovations. I tried the box A which consists of a salad, chicken teriyaki on rice, 3pcs of cucumber roll, 3 pcs of California roll, 1 salmon and 1 tuna nigiri and a miso soup for 13.60$. The portions were good as I skipped the rice but finished everything else. Taste and quality was only mediocre and presentation looks alright, but you can tell the fish wasn't super fresh quality. Its half self serve where you can get water or tea at the counter and they deliver your food to you at the table. Lots of free parking available in plaza. read more

This is definitely an A-OK sushi place really close to my house. If I'm in dire need of some Japanese fare and too lazy to go too far or too impatient to wait for delivery, I come here! It's a nice little restaurant and the food seems to be fairly fresh, but other than that It's definitely not a stand out from the crowd kind of sushi joint. One time I ordered a couple of their sushi platters for a party and they turned out fairly decent, and I'm basing that on the fact that all of it was gone/ eaten in the first 10 minutes. Some advice: If you ever go to a potluck bring some sushi, if your aren't already bringing dessert. Sushi tends to get the most attention and the people at the party will love you for it! But beware, make sure to watch it close because there will always be someone at the party that will sneakily take more than his or her fair share LOL (not that I'm one of those people hahaha) St3Fin read more

The first time I dined here it was alright Today, I was not! Impressed at all. The person taking care of tge customers entertained the customers behind us first, had them seated first. We asked her that we came in first and wanted to dine in...that's when she had us seated. Their food is nothing extraordinary or superb, we just wanted to have sushi for lunch, and it's the only sushi place in the strip mall. I will choose not to come back here anymore. read more

This is a good place to go to really chow down on some fast sushi. There are a bunch of other sushi places around (especially around victoria drive 5 min away) but what sets this place apart is that the sushi here is a lot more fresh. They also have a brown rice option which is always a plus! 4 stars for brown rice! read more

Best Udon ever! I went here expecting good but not great.. what I had was THE best udon I've ever had in my life (try the Kitsune udon). I told the waitress, and she said it's Tokyo style udon, and that their chef is actually Japanese! I can't comment on the sushi as I didn't order any, but I'll update this review when I do, because I will definitely be going back there! The place was quite busy at 2pm on a Tuesday, which speaks well for it! read more

Sushi Go - Chicken Tempura Don - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Fast service and friendly staff.. the food is good... very typical Japanese menu.. it's not pricey either..

Don't be fooled by the name...Sushi Go is not a fast food joint, but is a pleasant surprise. Almost hidden in corner at Champlain Village, this restaurant serves delicious, authentic Japanese sushi. We ordered the usual suspects as a baseline against other Japanese places. The chicken karaage was tasty and juicy, and we were happy with the salmon aburi sushi...a totally unexpected find. The menu is relatively small compared to other Japanese restos, but that takes away a lot of the guesswork when deciding what to have. What they do serve, they get it right. The place is nicely decorate and spacious despite the small size. read more
