**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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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... read more

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. read more

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! read more

If you're a sushi fiend, look no further. A small but cozy restaurant that has both bar and table seating. Make reservations ahead of time but its worth dropping in at opening to see if there might be any room if you haven't had the chance to make a reservation. Sushi Hil has attentive staff who will never let your tea cup get empty, the freshest seafood on the west coast, and the best presentation. The Blue Fin Tuna tasting platter (must try) and the oysters with uni toppings is forever seared into my taste buds. For a reasonable price, Sushi Hil offers such fresh and prime fish cuts and other seafoods. Even the tamago roll was so cute. We also had the chef's sashimi platter which was great too. Highly highly recommend. Even if you just get something off their menu you'll have a great sushi experience for an amazing price point. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This was the best sushi I have ever had. The service was amazing. Incredible experience overall!

Sushi Hil offers a cozy, intimate dining experience with space for around 10-15 seats. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and service was attentive and friendly. The menu offers a variety of sushi and other dishes, though we opted for à la carte. The hot sake was perfect for a chilly night and it was smooth and easy on the palate. The seafood m was fresh and good quality. However, some of the seasoning felt repetitive, which could have been due to the dishes we chose. While still delicious, a few of the flavour profiles started to blend together. Sushi Hil leans on the higher price point. While it's great for a date night or special occasion, with that price point and quality, I think there are strong alternatives in the area. read more

A friend came from out of town so we decided to visit Sushi Hil for a unique dining experience. When we were inside the cozy restaurant we were warmly greeted by staff and shown to our seats at the counter of the sushi bar which allowed us to see all action of dishes being assembled all night long. They don't offer Omakase anymore but it was easy to assemble something similar with all the options on their menu. We started off with the Hotate Butteryaki and ended with the Oshi. The dozen fresh oysters surprised us, their Chirashi Royale was a decadent feast of "all butter" yummy high-quality ingredients. The Sashimi Moriawase was lovely - of note was the jellyfish but it showcased a lot of fresh quality fish. We were blown away by the Nagasaki Blue Fin Tasting - the quality of the Chutoro was almost the Otoro level and the Otoro of course was angelic. Do not end with the Negitoro at the end of this tasting plate finish it with the Otoro. This Miso Soup was also awesome - large chunks of tofu and a good amount of seaweed. Solid for a rainy night. We were the last table to leave but they didn't rush us out - we saw all the hard work they did to keep the sushi bar and the general restaurant clean. A lot of love and pride goes into this restaurant. It was a great experience - thanks Sushi Hil! read more

Been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time now and was finally able to try it today. It's a nice and small place great for just chatting. Servers were nice. I enjoyed the majority of the food here. Their ingredients are really fresh and they use "real" wasabi here & deliciously thin ginger (unlimited refills). The only dish I personally didn't enjoy at all was the Hotate Butteryaki. The butter flavour wasn't pronounced enough and mushroom flavour too strong. I absolutely recommend their seasonal oysters (kusshi) & their Chirashi Royale (enjoyed every bite). Will come back just for these 2 dishes alone. A good place to splurge a little. read more

Not sure it was worth the price.. We got the royal chirashi which included bluefin tuna, king salmon, Wagyu beef, and foie gras. It came with miso soup and a salad. The pieces in the chirashi were small and all mixed together. I couldn't really tell what I was eating in any given bite. I would've preferred the rice to be warm with the cold sashimi cuts but it was cold. It was good but not sure if it's worth 100 bucks pre tax and tip? What do you think?? read more

This is a combined review as I've frequented Sushi Hil 3-4 times now. It's a small but well lit and cozy restaurant with minimal seating so always do make a reservation if you plan to eat here. Sushi Hil is a restaurant that emulates the vibes you would get from an authentic Japanese sushi restaurant. And therefore, don't expect to be stuffed for a light penny. This is intricately prepared and curated food that the chef has put lots of time and energy in so I greatly appreciate and respect the dining experience and cost. I've attached photos of almost all dishes I've tried and they're all really good for a variety of different reasons but in this review, I'll talk about my recommendations and favourites! Appetizers: Oyster Motoyaki I don't even like oysters that much but why is this so delicious?? It's umami and savoury in all the right ways, the oyster is plump and not overbearing in flavour. There's also bits of mushroom and spinach for added texture and helps cut the thickness of the motoyaki sauce. I recommend everyone to try it at least once. This is $12 I'll never regret spending. Scallop/Hamachi Crudo If you like sashimi but sometimes want to spice it up from the typical wasabi soy sauce combo, the crudo is delicious! The ponzu sauce is light, sour, and sweet which compliments the seafood quite well. I think it's pretty standard compared to some other places that do crudo but it's a good choice if you don't want to order plain sashimi. Sushi: Nagasaki Bluefin Tasting If you are a fatty tuna belly lover then you will want to bless your body, mind, and soul with this yummy bluefin trio. It comes with a selection of red tuna (akami), chutoro (medium fatty tuna belly), and otoro (fatty tuna belly). The fish is extremely fresh and just melts in your mouth. Nigiri Set 8 piece chef selection plus 3 piece scallop shiso maki and 3 piece negitoro is a great set ($58) if you're looking for a comprehensive sushi set to try a bit of everything. This is good for first timers who don't have much preference for what fish they like and want variety. I personally don't like fish with overbearing taste and I remember there being some pieces I wasn't a big fan of. However, it worked for me because the bf likes everything so I just fed the ones I preferred less to him haha. There are 4 pieces that are sauced and seared and 4 pieces that are plain. On the contrary if you find unfamiliar fish a bit intimidating, you can opt for the maki set which is a bit more friendly to non familiar sushi eaters. Dungeness Crab Roll It's a California roll but with Dungeness crab inside. Really delicious for crab lovers and $20 is a fair price. Super Garden Roll I was pleasantly surprised with this one, normally veggie rolls can be a turn off but this one is very flavourful with 2 flavour profiles (either tomato ponzu or spicy avocado 4 pieces of each) both light, sweet, and tangy in their own ways. It's great especially for those with food preferences or allergies that have somehow made their way into a sushi restaurant! Service is awesome, your tea cup will never be empty and the servers are very kind! Only thing to note is that as it is a small restaurant, seating is very close together to ensure the max number of people can be accommodated. Please take note of this if you are sensitive to sitting closely to other people when dining. I love Sushi Hil, can't wait to be back next! read more

Went here for date night Friday eve as we wanted to try out the new spot we'd seen plastered all over social media. I made a reso week of and I'd highly recommend doing so as the space is TINY - about three two seater tables, three four seaters and bar space for four in total. Location wise, Sushi Hil is right in between Anh and Chi and Nikkyu on main. We were lucky enough to snag a pay parking spot right in front of the restaurant (I think it was $1 per hour?). The good: -lovely modern ambiance with lots of wood and warm lighting -attentive service -fish was fresh - our server said the bluefin had just come in that day -no liquor license BUT you can bring your own wine or sake Between the two of us, we shared the Maki Set, Nigiri Set, Hotate Crudo and Nagasaki Bluefin Tasting (with Akami, Otoro and Chutoro). Both sets come with a miso soup and appetizer - ours came with the Spinach Ohitashi and an avocado salad. You know when you have those meals where nothing is really wrong, but nothing really stood out too much? That's how I felt about my experience at Sushi Hil. I didn't feel like I got a superb meal despite the quality of ingredients. The Bluefin was good, but at $42 for six pieces, I wasn't blown away. The Crudo is supposed to come as a trio with Hamachi and Kanpachi as well, but they ran out. Maybe that would've made the dish more interesting with the varied textures. We found that too many of the nigiri in the nigiri set were seared for no reason - why would you sear a beautiful piece of King Salmon or Ebi? The King Salmon oshi on the Maki set also tended towards too sweet and I'm not sure why there was puffed rice on it. We also found a lot of shiso used in our meal. I love the flavour but it was a little overwhelming. At almost $170 for our meal before tips and without drinks, I expected to come away more impressed. The price point here isn't really reflective of what you get and I honestly would rather go to Toshi a block away. My rating is probably closer to 3.5 stars, but I'll revisit once they've expanded their menu and have acquired a liquor license. read more

We frequent Temaki every time we visit Vancouver. We heard that Chef Hil opened his own restaurant so of course we had to check it out and boy it did not disappoint. We had the omakase and each course was timed perfectly. We asked for rolls since our friends enjoy rolls. We are big eaters so we asked for more dishes at the end and the last 2 tuna add ons were some of my favorites among the night! 1 - kusshi oysters - soooo good with ponzu and shiso 2 - poached oyster gomae - really well done and refreshing. 3 - tako sunomono - no vermicelli like other Japanese restaurants 4 - tuna gomae - love the hint of wasabi 5 - ankimo tuna - fresh 6 - fresh snapper porridge - so hearty 7 - oyster motoyaki with caviar - best I have ever had. I normally don't like motoyaki but even the mushroom inside had so much flavour! 8 - chu toro - amazing quality 9 - torched o toro - melts in your mouth 10 - king salmon aburi 11 - king salmon roll 12 - BC roll 13 - tuna carpaccio - my fave!!! 14 - negitoro & tuna tatami nigiri - sooo good! 15 - panna cotta - to die for!!! So creamy and velvety $125/per person is a steal for the quality and quantity we received. Such an amazing experience, Chef Hil never disappoints. The service was attentive and friendly. Since the space is small, reservation is highly recommended. read more

I was in the area and looking for the highest rated sushi place and sushi hill popped up. However, I must have missed the reviews saying how insanely expensive it is. This restaurant is definitely not a regular dining spot, but more a high end restaurant for fancy people. All rolls are about $18 each, even basic ones. Nigiri is around $8 a piece. Now don't get me wrong, the flavor and quality is amazing, I was just caught off guard and felt guilty leaving after seeing the menu. The servers here were very kind and informative in regards to recommendations. A lot of guests were here for the omakase which looked amazing. Everything was made delicately with care, marinated to perfection and plated beautifully. One star lost for me because of the prices being so elevated, but delicious, just more for rich people I guess lol. read more

A small Japanese restaurant with incredibly fresh seafood, located on Main Street. I made a reservation a few weeks in advance for a Friday night seating and the restaurant was packed! I had an amazing time at this restaurant. *MUST TRY* Nagasaki Bluefin Tasting (5/5) - $48 Taste: By far my favourite dish ordered. I love the variety they served with various cuts of blue fin from akami (lean) to o-toro & chutoro (more fatty). As well as the negitoro which was bluefin sushi delightfully paired with green onion. This spot had amazingly fresh, buttery, melt in your mouth bluefin that seriously sent you to heaven and back! Portion Size: 8 pieces (2 pieces each) Trio Crudo(5/5) - $20 Taste: Thin slices of hamachi, hotate, and kanpachi with a light and refreshing ponzu sauce. Great dish to try for variety. My favourite was the scallop! Portion Size: Good to share between 2 people (3 pieces each) Fresh Kusshi Oysters with Uni (5/5) - $16 Taste: Super fresh oysters paired with the creaminess of local bc uni. I can't say no to uni! Portion Size: 2 pieces King Oshi (4/5) - $20 Taste: King salmon tasted good, however in oshi form it doesn't strike a huge difference to regular salmon. The oshi did not have a super smoky flavour which I typically enjoy. Portion Size: 8 pieces Super Tuna Roll (4/5) - $20 Taste: A mixture of tuna tataki nigiri and marinated negitoro tuna rolls. The nigiri had a fresh and clean taste, while the roll was flavourful and savoury. Portion Size: 4 nigiri and 4 piece rolls Hiyayakko Tofu (3/5) - $10 Taste: Chilled tofu - a light appetizer with dashi sauce. I wish the sauce was more infused with the tofu instead of primarily sitting at the bottom. Portion Size: Good to share between 2 people [Value for Money] Definitely a fancier night out for sushi at a higher price point. I would recommend the a la carte menu so that you get to pick and choose the items you know you'd enjoy. For the amount of food ordered between two people, we definitely left full. Overall, with the quality of the fish and the variety we were able to try, it was worth the price... for an occasion! read more

First off, service is excellent. We made reservations for two and when we arrived, our table wasn't ready yet so the staff was very apologetic and offered us free miso soup upon sitting down after waiting for 15 mins. Sashimi was very fresh and their Nagasaki blue fin tasting did not disappoint. Place is small so make a reservation first, I would not recommend for party larger than 4 otherwise it's crowded. Sake and wine selection was abundant. We ordered their hot house sake and it was good. One thing we regret is ordering the caviar with the oysters because we couldn't really taste the difference due to the amount ponzu/condiments they already added to the fresh oysters. We ordered half dozen with caviar and half without, but both tasted almost identical not worth paying the extra $10 a piece. read more

Sushi Hil is a small space but they do take reservations which was helpful as we were coming here on a holiday night. We ordered the nigiri set, the Nagasaki bluefin tasting, and hotate butter yaki. I found the hotate butter yaki quite tasty but quite small for its price. The tasting sets I thought were a much better value, and I enjoyed the variety that came with it. It was nice to have a mix of rolls, nigiri, and salad (for the nigiri set) and sashimi and nigiri (for the bluefin tasting). I thought the fish was quite fresh and would recommend to come again. read more

In continuation of celebrations, we made dinner reservations for Sushi Hil several weeks in advance.We were greeted immediately in the well-light cozy restaurant by several welcoming staff. Space was a little tight but just spacious enough that we didn't feel like we were elbow-to-elbow with adjacent diners. A quick skim revealed a simple menu with unique items. We ordered the Crudo Trio, Butteryaki Hotate, Sashimi Moriawase and Maki Set to share. Dishes were striking and fish was fresh. Uncommon flavour combinations made every bite intriguing.Not so great: The butteryaki was the single let down in both presentation and price; a single diced overcooked scallop $16. Fine: The king salmon and tuna dishes were nothing special. Highlight: The hokkaido maki teased our palates while we wanted more of the kanpachi and hotate sashimis. We came in cautiously optimistic of all the hype, but were delightfully surprised at the unique twists. Sushi Hil is one of the few restaurants of late that the food actually tastes better than it looks. We will be back soon for lunch! read more

We went to Sushi Hill, a restaurant within walking distance from our home, after hearing good things about it. The menu selection is somewhat limited and the food itself is OK, but the issue we have is the price. For the four of us, for lunch, it was $200 with no alcohol, as they have not obtained a liquor license yet. For better service, food and price, we believe Toshi on 16th Ave (just two blocks away) is a wiser choice. We will not be back, sadly. read more

Sushi Hil is one of my favorite sushi restaurants all over the west coast (I'm from Seattle, WA). I love that the goal at Sushi Hil is not for everyone to experience a $100+ omakase.

I unfortunately don't have pictures from this past time but the presentation is beautiful. I appreciate that the restaurant is small and there isn't loud music playing so you can really enjoy the company and the food. read more

Delicious bite after bite. The restaurant is still in the soft opening phase so the menu and logistics are still being worked out but we had an amazing experience. Prices are reasonable and the quality was top notch! We are from NY and you can't get sushi like this at this price, it would easily be 3x the price in NY. The online reservation system was easy, we booked a lunch rez for 11:45 and were seated a few minutes later. The menu had a lot of items on it that I didn't know so had to ask for an explanation which the staff was very happy to help with. The chef selection is whatever the chef decides that day, I was told it could even change from table to table, which was fun for us but something to consider if you don't like certain fish. We ordered a bunch of items from the regular menu and the special menu all of which were delicious! The table next to us ordered the Maki set which we wish we ordered, it looked incredible. Highly recommend this place. read more

This place is super likeable. Went the first time for a drink before another meal but did they don't have a liquor license yet so instead just had a quick snack at the sushi bar. The owner is the head chef and he chatted and invited us back. Seemed quite genuine Came back 3 weeks later with 3 friends and we have a lovely meal. Consider the enjoyable food it was only $80 per person before tip. Given the insane prices of nice vancouver sushi I'd say this is a great quality to price ratio. And they're only charging $20 for corkage? Steal! Recommend. But they're busy. You need resos. I made resos 2 weeks ahead and was only able to get 5:45. read more

Saw a post of a new Japanese restaurant opened up on the hipster strip of Vancouver so decided to check it out. It is located in between Anh & Chi and Nikkyu restaurant. I was fortunate to find parking right in front of the restaurant. As we entered, we were greeted by the waitress and were promptly seated, the restaurant is quite small; a few seats by the sushi bar and about 8 tables along the windows and wall, however, it gave that warm vibe and ambience. The restaurant looked newly renovated and well ventilated with AC. I believe it's doing a soft opening because the menu seemed a little limited. Here were the food we ordered; 1. Nidako sunomono. The octopus, noodle and sunomono base were pretty fresh and tasty. 2. Gomae. Simple and pretty basic 3. Miso soup. Quite basic, only took couple sips of it as I preferred not the quick style way. P.s. I though my meals came with 2 miso soups, maybe I misunderstood the waitress. 4. New York beef tataki. The beef tasted fresh and tender, the sauce was okay. 5. Maki set. I personally think it was too basic and nothing special, need a little improvement on the selections. 6. Sashimi Moriawase. The sashimi were fresh and of bite size, pretty good quality. 7. Nagasaki Bluefin tasting. Akami was pretty good and fresh, the chu-toro didn't have that nice taste and colour that I am used to, the seared or aburi o-toro was way off in terms of taste; freshness and texture. When tuna is cooked, the meat becomes more stiff then most fishes and pretty tasteless. As most would agreed or know, O-toro is the best part of the blue fin and best enjoyed by retaining its natural freshness and texture. 8. House panna cola dessert. It was nice, tasty and refreshing, nice little dessert to end the meal with. Overall, the restaurant was small, but it was clean and had a nice warm welcoming ambience to it. I would say it's a nice little place to enjoy some fresh sushi with a few friends over a couple of drinks. The services were good; the waitresses were very attentive and informative on each food being served. As for the price, it's on the steeper side compared to some of the surrounding Japanese restaurants. I think the only thing I wasn't very satisfied with was the chu toro and O-toro, could've been fresher and the O-Toro was a failed to my taste. I would recommend it if you are looking for a new place to try and hopefully I can give it another go in the near future when it's fully opened and settled itself in. I would give it a solid 3.5-4 stars but cause of the chu toro and O-toro, 3 stars. This review is more of a positive criticism because I would like to see this restaurant grow and stay. I am a strong believer that honest feedbacks are key elements in improving, growing and giving a business longevity. Good luck to this business and much success!!! read more
