HORRIBLE. Do not go here. I got major food poisoning from this place. I'll be reporting to BBB plus the Fraser Health. DO. NOT. GO. THERE. The sushi wasn`t that great anyway before I puked everything out. If you want `cheap` sushi then go to Sushi Garden. Or Sushi Town because they were the original "Awesome Roll" anyway. Horrible. Most people who ate there I went that night also got food poisoning. And this is coming from some one who loves restaurants usually. I do not recommend this at all. read more

"to Die for" is what my friend said about their Las Vegas rolls and I have to agree that is the best damn roll in town, take that to the bank Tojo! They opened a new location on Denman close to Robson! July 12,2014 read more

This is another one of those places that you tend to drive past every once in a while and say to yourself... 'You know what? I should stop there one day'. You know what? You should. The rolls are delicious, the fish is fresh and the prices are pretty awesome.. and speaking of awesome, this place is known for their 'Awesome Roll'. It's got crab meat, avocado, cucumber, masago, baked salmon and yam fries on top. Yowzah! I haven't tried it yet, but it's now on my 'to do' list. The only downfall here is the limited space (tables are a little too close together). The service is friendly enough, but they could really stand to kick it up a notch and be a bit more attentive. Will I go back? Definitely. Do I recommend this place? Absolutely read more

This place is impossible to miss, with the giant sign and mouth-watering pictures you are tempted to try it out. Parking is a bit tough though since it gets full really fast and street parking is not ideal. More of a korean-jap fusion, but they have good food. Spicy tuna/salmon sashimi is delicious as well as their house rolls and special rolls. Try the awesome roll and dragon roll, delicious with lots of different flavors and ingredients. They have a lot of vegetarian friendly options and their appetizers are very well done. Food is very fast, so great for the lunch break. Accessible by transit as well. I give it an A. read more

We enjoyed our lunch at this restaurant today. This place is small but we didn't have to wait for a table. The server took our orders quickly and served us hot tea. We saw two different families with kids enjoying their lunch so I'm guessing this place is kid friendly too. We ordered oyster ball, chicken teriyaki bento and tatsu special bento. All dishes were very well prepared and we really enjoyed :-) will surely be back. read more

I had visited this restaurant twice in the last year. First time I came here, I thought the food was just average (yes I did order their "famous" special rolls), and found that their price-to-portion ratio is a little unreasonable. I am not a special sushi roll kind of guy, cause I find it overpriced for what you get. However, I do order my special Nigiri's, and other special sushi's (Uni, Ikura, Negitoro, etc.), it's not often, but I do only when I eat at a Japanese restaurant, where the sushi is prepared by a Japanese Chef (Think Kishimoto, Toshi, Shiro, Koko, etc.). We ordered: Awesome roll Sushiholic roll Fire Dragon roll Red Roll 2 x Uni Sushi 2 x Negitoro Sushi 2 x Toro Nigiri Sushi Pizza and a few other regular rolls that I can't remember. Awesome roll (Fire Dragon, Sushiholic Roll, Red Roll) - It's nothing special, there's really nothing awesome about it, if you've had similar special rolls at other Korean Sushi restaurants, then you wouldn't think this place is any better. I think Sushi Nanaimo serves better special rolls made by Korean chefs than Sushiholic. Not to mention, at better price, taste and portion. Uni Sushi (Negitoro, Toro) - It's your standard Nigiri's and Sushi. The ingredients were fresh, the rice is soso. It's your standard affair. Sushi Pizza - $9 for a 6 pinch rice pizza? There wasn't anything special about it. Your typical korean mayo and hot sauce (watered-down gochujjang). I do give credit for the panko rice. It was crispy and well-put together, but overall, I wouldn't order this again. Ambience - The restaurant is small, the tables are very close together. Even if you're whispering, the tables next to you can hear you. The restaurant was half-full, and it was very quiet. I guess most of the patrons were worried about their conversations being overheard. I absolutely hated this because everyone could hear what we were discussing about, so either turn up the music and drown the conversations, or increase the gaps of the tables. Service: On a Tuesday night where the restaurant was barely half-full, the service was so slow, we waited at least 20 minutes for 2 special rolls to arrive on our table (really?). This was our first round of food to arrive too, so needless to say, we were starving. The only thing that kept up was our tea was consistently refilled. All in all, I found the food here is overpriced (speaking of their special rolls), small portions, and the taste isn't that great. If you like Korean Sushi, I would recommend that you go to Sushi Nanaimo instead. The food there is better, portions are bigger, and you get better value. If I were to pay $9 for a "special sushi roll", I rather go to Kishimoto and order their pressed sushi - way better than Sushiholic with a much nicer presentation made by JAPANESE CHEFS. read more

I struggle between 3 & 4 stars, mostly because of the service. The sushi here is delicious and they have several vegetarian options. I really like their ever green roll. The ebi-mango roll was quite nice as well. The service is hit or miss. Once I came on a lunch break with a coworker and they had completely forgot about making our sushi, twice! (In the same sitting!). The awesome roll looks amazing, but alas, I am allergic to fish so I will never know how it tastes. It's also quite tight in there as the tables are so close together. So take out might be your best bet. read more

I wouldn't say that the food at SUSHIholic would force anyone to go to 'sushi's anonymous', but it is pretty good. I went here for lunch last week with a couple friends from work. Our orders consisted of a tempura udon, a tuna donburi and a few rolls. Over all the portions were all huge and the ingredients fresh. The only complaint I heard was about the seaweed in the maki. Apparently it was a little chewy. I guess they need to sort out a moisture issue in the seaweed holder. If you go here don't expect fine dining, but it is better than your average mom and pop shop. The decor is pleasant, the prices are horrendously affordable (i.e. simple rolls for $2.00 and miso for $1.00!!!), the staff are friendly and fairly quick. I was warned not to tell anyone else from work about this place so take that as an additional sign of approval. read more

I was in between appointments, had time to kill and was hungry. I hadn't had sushi in a long time (had a terrible experience in Montreal last month) and remembered stumbling unto SUSHIholic's yelp page a while ago, so I called my beau and asked him to have lunch with me there. The outside looked like a "hole in the wall" which sorta put me off a bit but the place was packed at a 2pm on a week day... best sign for a good business in my book. Service was impeccable, the Gomae was out of this world, the sashimi uber fresh and the two rolls we ate: The Red Roll and The Awesome Roll. The were both pretty epic. read more

Things to try: - aburi toro nigiri sushi (seared tuna belly) - mango & avocado nigiri sushi - aburi tuna don (seared tuna rice bowl) - awesome roll One of the brothers that used to work at Kita Sushi (see previous review) came here to work. Needless to say, their aburi anythings is awesome :) The tuna don isn't on the regular menu; I spotted it on the 'Today's Specials' board, so maybe look out for that. If your stomach space is as big as mine, the bowl is enough for a meal. Trrryyy it... the sweet sauce that comes with it- so good. Btw, I recommend smearing bits of wasabi onto each mouthful of rice, because it complements really well. I wish it would open on Sundays. read more

[SushiHolics Anonymous] I've driven by this place a hundred times and never had a second thought of stopping in. Perhaps it was the tacky giant banner or the nondescript entrance and it never intrigued me - until now. The restaurant's interior is modern and cozy - there's maybe space for 20 guests not including the small adjoining room. It was a Wednesday evening and the place was full by 6:30. This was a sign of good things to come. The feature here seems to be the specialty rolls - namely the awesome roll which lives up to its name. When it arrived, it looked more like Carrot Top's haircut leftovers than a sushi roll (these were actually deep fried yam strings). After some digging, we finally reached the sushi goodness underneath. Interesting presentation and tasted delicious. Next up was the rainbow roll consisting of tuna, salmon, avocado, and shrimp on various pieces. It was delicious but wasn't anything unique. The wasabi mayo drizzle was a nice touch. Dish #3 was the fire dragon roll. Unlike traditional dragon rolls, the unagi (eel) is replaced with spicy tuna. This roll was excellent as well but the presentation of the dish was what really stands out. The strategic and artistic mixing of spicy tuna and chipotle (?) sauces is a work of art. To finish the meal, an order of gyoza was in order. These were very crispy and tasty. If you're in the market for fancy, unique sushi rolls, this is your place. At $40 for the four dishes, Sushiholic provides okay value given the location. Would I repeat? Maybe. read more

Good sushi for very good prices. They also have a lot of good combo deals and sushi trays! Every time I've eaten here, the fish has been very fresh. Cons: Parking isn't the best here, small place read more

Whenever I go back to Vancouver, I always end up coming back here with my family. The prices are reasonable, the sushi is well prepared and they have a variety of different special rolls. For take out, they are very efficient and fast. Every order is made exactly as requested and it is always ready when I arrive for pick up. One of my go to local sushi places in the city. read more

This is me and my boyfriend's go-to sushi place. It's close to home, the food is consistently good, and the little spot is always packed. The only downside that finding parking can sometimes be a pain, although there are some spots alongside the store. You will always be greeted and thanked upon entering and leaving, and your cup of green tea will never be empty. Now, I must say that as far as sushi goes we aren't that ambitious or exciting, so for some of the crazier rolls I don't have much say but they have delicious tempura and sunomono. read more

Good value sushi in this tiny little place. There's even a few parking spots on the side. The downside is that service is quite slow. Alaska Combo $9: 4/5 - Includes an Alaska Roll, 2 Salmon, 1 Tuna, 1 Ebi. - Good value for the amount of sushi. Negitoro Roll $3: 3.5/5 - Tasty. - It's so rare to find such a cheap negitoro roll. Prawn Tempura $9: 4/5 - Nice and crispy. - Each piece was fairly large. - Moderately priced for 7 pieces. read more

Awesome sushi, abysmal service. Came here on Friday night in a group of 6, ordered a selection of rolls and then waited... and waited... and waited... half an hour went by and then we noticed a waitress look over with a surprised look on her face and then frantically type our order into their computer system. Okay, so you missed our order, I could have forgiven you, but you did not even come over to acknowledge the wait or offer us anything to keep our growling tummies happy! You did not even offer to refill our teapot (not even once!!!) that was clearly empty (we tilted the lid) and we had to keep asking for refills. Once the food finally came out another 15 minutes later, the pacing of dishes was very erratic. One person had essentially finished eating their entire meal before I even received my miso soup appetizer. C'mon it's soup, and I know it's just sitting back there in a pot waiting to be ladled. Lucky for this place, their sushi was good enough to redeem them 3 stars. The Awesome role was fantastic - it has thin crispy yam fries on top and was really tasty. My favourite was the Ebi Mango roll - very fresh, but I'm biased because mango in my sushi was already one of my favourite things. The Red Roll was also very good - it had nice fresh scallops and spicy tuna, and a flavourful hot sauce (which I didn't actually think was that hot but my friend who can't handle spice looked like she might cry). Anyways, if I was in the area and craving sushi I would probably give this place another shot, but with all the sushi options in Vancouver I wouldn't go out of my way to get there. read more

I kind of expected better the way my friend was chomping at the bit to come here... So my friend had been wanting to come here for a while now. Since we have a longstanding "Tuesday Funday Date," we decided to come here. I was expecting more. These people are nice, don't get me wrong. I just feel a little cheated the way my friend talked this place up. She had been telling me about a Volcano Roll for weeks... The place is tiny. We needed a table for five and luckily they weren't that busy. We tend to over-order, so this table was gonna see a show. We ordered two Awesome Rolls, a Volcano Roll, Sockeye Salmon Roll, Gyoza, Agedashi Tofu, and a bunch of other stuff I didn't try. I would say that everything is average. Good, but not stellar. The Volcano Roll (the reason for being there) was deep fried and surrounded a mound of spicy tuna. I am not a big fan of tuna, but I'll eat it with spicy sauce. It was soft, but not mushy. The roll was crispy and since I wasn't the one who ordered it, was surprised when I tasted cream cheese. Hmm... okay, I'll play. The Awesome Roll was topped with deep fried yam, but the inside wasn't that memorable to me. Again, just okay. The portions were big so I left super stuffed and perhaps might visit again. There are just so many sushi places in Vancouver... and I finally got that 10% off card to that other place... read more

Friends and I were looking for a place for lunch and I found this place on yelp. Place was about 3/4 full on a Saturday around 1pm but you can call ahead to make reservations for groups larger than 3. There's parking around back and lots of street parking nearby. Baby/child friendly. We had: Awesome Roll - Their "signature" roll. It really was awesome! It's basically a california roll with real crab but the kicker is the enormous pile of think yam fries laid a top. Not sure why but the combination of the two was just amazing. 5/5 Red Roll - Girlfriend loves spicy things so we tried this out. I'm not that in to spicy sushi but it really was quite well done. Friends loved it. 4/5 Spicy Tuna Sashimi - Once again, an amazing combination. Think of fresh tuna cubes in spicy buffalo sauce. Delicious. 5/5 Party Tray C - California Roll, Chopped Scallop Roll, Ebi Nigiri, Salmon Nigiri, Tuna Nigiri - Well executed but nothing special. Stick to the special rolls. 2/5 Beef Don - A huge portion and very tasty. Drenched in sauce and beef is very well marinated. 4/5 In short, Sushiholic is a great neighbourhood sushi joint. It's not on the level of Tojo's/Shiro's but just below those joint and the prices are very reasonable. We had a group of 8 and it came in around $12 per person for lunch. I would avoid the combos though unless they had their special rolls in them. Dish Grading Scale 0 - Terrible 1 - Don't bother 2 - Average 3 - Good 4 - Very Good. Order if it's something you think you would like. 5 - Excellent. Must try. read more

A single restaurant holding the fort in this neighbourhood block shouldn't bode well for business, but the place was bustling during lunch hour. We order a platter of sashimi and sushi and the selection was fresh and delicious. A new sushi roll I definitely would try again is the special maki volcano roll. Deep fried shell around the sushi roll is not something I would imagine would work well with freshness but it worked out really well. Time for another run at this place again soon read more

Sushi High - Something tells me they want us to try the awesome roll... - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Quite liked this place! Tempura was fantastic, Rolls were very nice. Prices were good. Tuna sashimi fantastic, sadly the salmon was farmed, so I dropped a star for that reason. We will return read more

Even with the abundance of sushi restaurants in the Lower Mainland, I find myself going to SUSHIholic most of the time. I've been there probably around 15 times now and I've never had a bad experience. Recommendations: If you like Philadelphia Rolls (salmon & cream cheese), try them here. They are simple but by far my favourite. If I'm in the mood for a sunomono, I get the Kani (real crab) which is $5.50. This is real crab and cold noodles in a vinegar base for those who haven't tried it. Really good if you like that sort of thing. I'm not really big into their special rolls only because it starts adding up and we end up racking our bill and not being that full. I like how SUSHIholic has wild (sockeye) salmon as a menu choice. I prefer it over the regular salmon most sushi restaurants have. There are a couple spots to park in their shared mini lot (I think 3 or 4 usually) but I usually find parking just outside along the street as you can park there after 6. read more

Small quaint place that I have always enjoyed. Their sashimi salad is so good since it comes with so much fish! The prices are decent, quality is good, restaurant is kind of small but that doesn't bother me. The best part is that my work is just a couple steps away so I will be finding myself coming here for lunch a lot! read more

Liked the spicy tuna roll, it is Goooooooooooood ! Don't like the awesome roll, the fried yam makes up half size of the roll. It should call Fried yam roll. Customer service is slow when I went there. It was on a weekend, but we waited too long before someone came to serve us. read more

I would not reccomend this place. I paid for very expensive takeout containers. The spicy tuna....should be renamed chunky cucumbers bits with green salad with a tsp. of spicy tuna. The chopped scallop was packed with everything except scallops. Too bad this place is close to work. Tried to get a "sushi high"but, all I did was..."wasted" my money. read more

The udon soup is disgustingly greasy, but the other food is ok. Food quality isn't the same like few years ago.

There rolls are super tasty and full of flavour. Their awesome roll is topped with shredded fried yam which adds the perfect amount if crunch to your roll. You can also order your rolls made with multigrain rice. I also tried the Las Vegas roll which was a deep fried roll with eel and avocado. It was amazing and beautifully presented. The food is looks and tastes amazing. My only complaints are the restaurant is super cramped and service takes a while. read more

Randomly happened upon this place as a friend had just moved to the area. It's very small and looks a bit sketchy on the outside, but the food is pretty great. They have really good tofu teriyaki, which is just over $6 but comes with a giant pile of beansprouts as well as rice and miso. The people at the next table over asked me what it was, and were amazed at the size. I also tried the yam tempura rolls, which were incredible. It was as much food as I could eat for about $10. The service was great at first, as soon as you walk in, all the sushi chefs shout hello in a friendly manner. Towards the end of our meal they were getting much busier, and both waitresses were taking calls for take out. It was kind of difficult to pay, we ended up going to the front and standing there for 5 minutes while they kept taking more phone calls (without acknowledging us, even though we were standing right at the till), which was incredibly annoying. Just have one person on the phones, and the other looking after customers. Anyway, 4 stars for yummy cheap food, 2-3 stars for crappy service. read more

The vibe is good, but I got a takeout because the place was packed. I got the Fyu Don and it's salty. I usually can tolerate salty food but the rice was too little for the sauce. Maybe next time you can add a little more rice or lessen the sauce. read more

My favourite place for sushi! I've been to so many mediocre & low quality sushi joints in this city, that I was relieved to have found Sushiholic. Don't let the exterior fool you, this place is a hidden gem. Really fresh, great tasting sushi, cheap prices, and friendly staff. Enough said. read more

This place is actually really good. I tried the awesome roll just like the sign outside along with an Alaskan roll, a chopped scallop roll and something else. Very good. And the bill was rather quite small considering everything I ate. Very good value and very good food. It's a hold in the wall in the middle of nowhere. There's some parking on the side, and if you're coming by skytrain it's pretty close. Very good. read more

Are your Awesome rolls that good? Well, you got a big sign outside claiming you gots them killer Awesome rolls. That's enough to sell me!!!! I love.... just love Awesome rolls!!! Located right on the corner of Rupert on Broadway. This joint got some parking on the side of the restaurant, but never fear there's plenty of free parking around the area! Very small joint them seems to get packed up right around prime time munchin' time. A cute little red door, that for some reason I thought I might not fit through.... don't worry, I got through fine! Just not used to seeing an entrance that small. A couple of seats on the bar and about a couple less than a dozen tables. Most tables do seat about 4. We had the Awesome roll (obviously), spider roll, and Saba shioyaki. The food here was pretty good, but Sushi Town is still got the best Awesome Roll. The SUSHIholic' awesome roll lacked the visual wow factor and plus they used some fried garnish instead of benito flakes and no tobiko like Sushi Town. I did enjoy my meal here, the fact that I didn't have to wait for a table, and they have a TV here to watch the game!!! This are all excellent reason for me to come back here over Sushi Town! and cause SUSHIholic is closer! lol read more

Stumbled into this place without consulting Yelp first and rewarded with a pleasant surprise. Came here with a large group and we thought they were going to hate us for ordering as much as we did but very impressive service. We ordered two of every special roll and they were all very good. Fish was excellent quality too. The portion size and chunks of poke were much larger than what I was expecting. Give this place some love! read more
