    Incredible quality of food. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. It's a small spot but perfectly cozy. Our server was so sweet and explained each dish as they came out.

    Our group had a lovely and delicious dining experience here. Everything was very fresh, and felt very authentic to the culture and cuisine. Staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive. Highly recommend!

    Sushi Hil has been on the 2025 Michelin Gourmand list for the last 3 years and deserves the recognition for the value, quality, price, and service. My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here at the chef's counter (reservation recommended for this small restaurant) and ordered the nigiri set (chef's choice 8 pieces nigiri and assorted maki rolls) and it came with salad and miso soup for 65 CAD. That alone was filling and so worth it. A la carte, we had the crudo and scallop. Then, husband ordered another additional roll. Dessert was panna cotta on the house due to our celebration. Highly recommend and would love to come back.

    **Sushi Hill -- Second Visit /Updated Review** On my second visit to Sushi Hill, we decided to skip the chef's specials and order straight off the menu this time. A mix of rolls, appetizers, and salmon sashimi made up the meal, along with a refreshing garden roll. The bill came to about $50 per person, totalling over 150$ before tax and tips. While the ingredients were clearly fresh -- especially the salmon -- the rolls themselves felt on the smaller side and lacked the flair or flavor depth I remembered from the chef's selections. Presentation was neat, but overall, the à la carte experience felt a bit underwhelming compared to their curated offerings. Still, it's a reliable spot if you value clean flavors and fresh sourcing over portion size. Service was very good.

    Sushi Hil is a no frills sushi joint with the freshest of fish and amazing foie gras. It's a small restaurant so reservations are a must. Parking can be challenging but well worth it. The selection isn't the widest of variety but it is the highest of quality. It is my favorite Japanese restaurant in Vancouver and a must visit every time I'm in town. We always order the Chirashi bowl with Bluefin Tuna, A5 Wagyu, King Salmon, Ikura, Caviar and Foie Gras. Every bite is magical...even down to the soft and chewy sushi rice. I love ordering the seared Foie Gras as it is cooked to perfection and bursting with flavors

    Service was very good. The fish quality was very good. Some of the sushi preparations were creative and very tasty. Other preparations were a bit salty and hurt the taste of the fish (e.g. the eel). The rice was ok. I don't think it stood out. The place was cute. I feel that the servers would have wished that I order more, which bothered me a bit. Not Michelin star for me yet...

    Bluefin tasting
    Jeffrey W.

    My wife and I have been hearing good things about them and wanted to give it another try after three years. Upon entering we were greeted and seated right away. The menu has expanded since the last time we went, they even have a liquor menu now with a great sake collection. They even have some off menu selections. We ordered hamachi crudo, blue fin tasting set, chirashi set, Hokkaido maki and bluefin maki. After ordering the chef gave a complementary daikon in dashi, which was pretty good. Soon after, the food we ordered came out at a good pace. I found the fish pretty good, usually I find the hamachi and otoro a little bit too oily but it was good this time. 10/10 would come again.

    Seasonal Oysters and Chef Selection Sashimi

    This place is such a gem if you want some authentic Japanese food experience. The restaurant is tiny but cozy. It fits about six tables with an open kitchen and some bar seats, just like in Japan. It was a birthday celebration and we went with the chef's tasting menu. The food portion was really generous. Everything was made with authentic flavor and simplicity. The sashimis are fresh, and the oysters were nicely seasoned. The first appetite with the chilled Daikon had a very powerful taste of vinegar and spiciness. It was almost intentionally strong to open up your pallet. The blue fin Nagasaki tasting was very impressive. It brought me back to Japan, and that how fresh it tastes. The chawanmushi was so nice and tender, filled with unagi and scallops. I think I would go back for just this dish. The chef selection of sushi had a variety of sushi rolls that filled with surprises. We finished off with some dessert, and their matcha ice cream took me back to Japan again. It was the right level of sweetness and creaminess. The waitresses are very knowledgeable and friendly. Our tea cups were never empty, and we never had to call anyone. When we needed something. They are always around. What I really appreciate was how observant they all are. This is definitely one of my favorite Japanese restaurants from now on, and I recommend everyone to give it a try!

    Bluefin tuna tasting
    Chelsey H.

    Ooooh. I am still dreaming about our meal here. We came for my birthday a few weeks ago and it did not disappoint. Memorable were the Crudo, Blue Fin Tuna Tasting platter and the House Panna Cotta. 100000% recommend and still think about these dishes weeks later. The Snow crab roll seemed suggested on here and it was fine but I realize if you're craving just raw fish I would skip. We made a reservation a few weeks in advance. Service was efficient and helpful! The space is super intimate.

    A great sushi spot for special occasions. It's a small, bright restaurant that's usually busy. Service is great and very attentive; my cup of green tea never seemed to drop below half empty. I've had the omakase lunch special twice now. Full of fantastic flavours, but not cheap at ~$70 or overly filling. The portion size is for a light lunch. Definitely more of a special occasion or family-is-visiting lunch spot than a place to drop in regularly. The food: We each had an omakase platter that comes with 5 plates. - Spinach Ohitashi: a lovely savoury broth with greens and umami flavour. - Chawanmushi: This was a real highlight for me. The egg custard came with bits of smoked fish in it. A fun dish. - 5 pieces of nigiri: a good selection of different fish. Each piece was distinct and well put together - 3 pieces of sashimi: all fresh and flavourful - 2 pieces of the house roll: I can't recall too much about it now, but it was good! You might not leave Sushi Hil overly full after the lunch special, but you'll almost certainly want to come back.

    Truly an incredible experience! Food was out of this world and the setting intimate and warm. Some of the best bites and you can taste the quality in every taste. Would go again and recommend to anyone!

    Albacore Tuna Tataki
    John C.

    I had heard so many great things about Sushi Hil, I was excited to try it. Between being awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand and winning Bronze for Best Causal Japanese from Vancouver Magazine, I had pretty high expectations. I made lunch reservations, and arrived right on time. The space is small. We were seated at the counter so we could watch the sushi chefs at work. We noticed the menu on the website doesn't actually match up to the menus we were given. We ended up ordering the the following from the menu: - Albacore Tuna Tataki - Good. Simple. Clean. Nicely presented. - Hotate Butteryaki - Good. Delicate. Another nice dish. - Snow Crab Roll - Good. A little different. Well executed. - King BC Roll - Good. Skin was still crispy, which is really nice. - Oyster Motoyaki - Good. Been ages since I had one, so it was a nice reintroduction Service was polite, professional and attentive. Overall a nice lunch. Overall good food, but whether it signified a Bib Gourmand or winning Bronze, I'm not so sure. It was definitely above average, and prices reflected it. I'm not certain it was so good that I would be wanting to come back though. I would give 3.5 stars.

    This place is extraordinary. Everything was fried to perfection. We were also told that the panko…read moreis created fresh everyday from a local bakery in Vancouver. I would recommend chicken or shrimp if you want a protein. I had the tonkatsu (pork) which was a little tougher. The thinly sliced pork with cheese inside was the best bite I had. I also enjoyed the katsu nabe but the soup does affect the texture of the fried pork. There was also unlimited rice, cabbage salad, and sesame sauce here. Amazing! My husband ordered the curry chicken katsu which was excellent and our friends ordered the Zenbu Katsu which was plenty to share between two people. The staff are very sweet and attentive and the restaurant is clean and simple.

    I had no idea that katsu could taste this GOOD. I mean, all katsu I've had prior to eating at Saku…read morejust pales in comparison. Who knew??? My hubs and I vacationed in Vancouver a few weeks ago in late April. We had seen the long lines for dinner at Saku when we were here more than a year ago. So, we decided to give them a try for a late lunch around 2pm on a Wednesday afternoon. No wait. We got seated right away. We liked how spacious and airy the dining room was. Our wait staff were friendly and on point. They were considerate about answering our questions about the food and food allergies. I ordered the chicken thigh katsu ($26 Can) and my hubs got the chicken thigh curry ($28.50 Can). No dairy involved in either dish which I was happy about because I have challenges digesting milk protein. Yes, it's kinda pricey. Yes, it's totally worth it. The katsu is light, crispy, fried perfectly, not greasy, and comes with unlimited rice, miso soup, finely chopped cabbage salad, and an addictively delicious sesame dressing. My hubs' curry sauce was served on the side so he could pour out as much or as little as he wanted. All in all, it was a very pleasant and satisfying meal. Saku is top notch for katsu. You won't believe how good katsu can be until you try it.

Each piece gets torched over charcoal which gives it this smoky, melt-in-your-mouth quality, and the specialty sauces mean you don't even reach for the soy (they will also say to your face not to, so unless you want to endure their judgement--which my husband happily does--I'd stay away from soy sauce for the aburi. Their salmon oshi is well known, I love the ebi oshi the most but definitely get both and decide for yourself. The whole menu delivers though, from the sashimi to the rolls to the cocktails, all of it beautifully plated without feeling fussy. The space is nice too, took a big group of family here once after an event and they all loved it. And if you're here in the summer ask about the garden patio out back. It's an elevated experience but never stuffy. Perfect for a date night or when you want to treat yourself. Reservations are a good idea because it fills up. Easily one of my favourite spots in Yaletown though!

    I went here for a special occasion dinner. Reservations are highly recommended because they are…read morevery small - 12 diners per sitting and 2 sittings per night. I made reservations about 4 months in advance. Upon arrival, one of the hostesses opened the door for us, and asked us to wait in a very ornate waiting area. We only waited a couple of minutes before another hostess seated us at the main seating area. The space is very dark, and only lit with candles while the rest of the diners trickled in. During that time they take drink orders, which is limited to sake, wine, beer and a few non-alcoholic drinks. Of note, they don't provide a drink menu, so we were a little surprised by the cost - the yuzu sake and the plum wine were $30 each. My non-alcoholic drink was $12, but a fair size. The theatrical portion started a few minutes later than the official start time - closer to 6pm. The shades lifted, the lights turned on, and the chefs introduced themselves. And from that moment on, they immediately went to work preparing our meal. They operate like clockwork to show the ingredients whole to the diners, and then preparing them, and serving them. Soon as the one dish was completed by all the diners, the next round came shortly after. Over 20+ dishes, there was very little wait time in between each. Each time a dish was served, a hostess was there to describe the dish and provided tips on how best to eat it. The food was overall was very good. I thought a few items were very average, most of them were very good, and a select few were truly outstanding. Most of the ingredients are imported from Japan, so I would imagine that it's part of the reason it's so expensive. This is definitely a splurge meal. I think half the diners at our sitting was celebrating a birthday. On the most part, the food is very good, watching the chefs at work is part of the entertainment, and the service is excellent. It's not some place I could afford to go to often, but glad to do it at least this one time.

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.
