Little Japanese restaurant. The server and management were very hospitable and nice. Prices here are decent. The sushi was good. No complaints. HAPPY SUSHIING!
We came in in a whim one evening while visiting Vancouver from Los Angeles. We were pleasantly surprised by the service even when we were ordering our food to-go. Sushi was delicious and made with care. We ordered the rainbow and volcano roll. I will definitely stop in before I head to the airport. Great place, can't wait for our next trip up north.
So nice we came back twice! I brought my partner to vancouver for the first time and this spot was right by our Airbnb. I've been talking up how good sushi is in Vancouver and this place lived up to all expectations. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Recommend trying their chopped scallop nigiri and dynamite roll. We had it both in the restaurant and to go and both times were perfect. The prices are fair for the area, two of us ate for $40 and the staff was very friendly. The restaurant seats about 15 with a few tables for groups of 4. Can't recommend enough if you're in the area!
I like this place for sushi and I order from them quite a bit. There are many many sushi places in Vancouver and especially downtown Vancouver, and especially in this block's vicinity, and I've tried almost all of them. So, comparatively speaking Sushi Howe makes the most sense....to me anyhow. I'll tell you why. Their sushi is consistently fresh and rolled well and it doesn't cost you your first born. When you place an order over the phone they consistently give you the time of day and patiently take your order clarifying everything. Their menu options are plenty and culinarily creative. When you pick up your order they are attentive, friendly and professional...consistently. The only thing I would recommend for improvement is their miso soup. I personally find that the right amount of soy and seaweed and salt in relation to the consistency of the miso ingredient is vital to a really great miso soup and that they could do better in. However, I do like their sushi enough to overlook the miso situation. I've enjoyed their sushi every time I've ordered, and I'm very picky....so that says something.
It was SO GOOD AND SO CHEAP!!! They gave me hot tea right away and my food didn't taste old or fishy in any ways. The ladies in there are all incredibly friendly and just make it an overall great experience.
After alpha sushi closed, I decided to check this place out. I was pleasantly surprised. The service was friendly and the food was good. I had takeout. The nice that about this place is that they have their own app and you could order ahead. Definitely will be back. When you sign up for the app you get points and free edamame on the first order.
Very decent standard sushi. The place is ran by Korean people who make pretty good sushi. From the menu, I had a feeling that they are somehow related to sushi Nanaimo or sushi town etc. The concepts are pretty similar. They don't serve aburi sushi but they do have monkey brains and some common rolls that you would find at any Korean Japanese restaurants, I came here with a friend and he was the one who picked this place. We ordered few dishes to share. -pacific roll (same as California roll but with unagi on top) -monkey brain (avocado, imitation crab and spicy tuna) -crunchy roll (Philadelphia cheese, prawn tempura, imitation crab, and crunch) Not all restaurants serve the monkey brains. It was good but it was definitely a few dollar more then what we would normally pay. Portion size for all the sushi were very decent. I am guessing it's the location that is why it's more expensive. Their sushi are not unique. They serve mostly common rolls. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch here. Service was somewhat lacking. Parking is difficult to find. No free parking nearby. Also, when we came the restaurant was pretty empty. Guessing they get more business on weekdays.
Place is average. But very good service. Will be back if I'm in the area. Had the salmon sashimi,miso soup,and BC roll.
Very good food and friendly staff. I wasn't expecting much walking in that restaurant, I thought it would be just another one of those decent sushi/fast food place. I was wrong, it's much, much better. The food is very tasty and well priced. The sushi rolls are nicely rolled, the yakisoba noodles are firm and not soggy or greasy (a lot of places drawn them in sauce, that's not the case there), the rice balls are unique, fresh and flavourful, the ebi mayo is crispy, and I saved the best for last: the veggie gyozas are delicious! Everything is well priced. The staff is very friendly. One of the combos came with a miso soup, they gave us an extra soup for free so we could both have one. I went twice in a week already and will go back many more times.
We were tired & hungry after a bike excursion around the Stanley Park area. Walking back to the train station, we decided to pick a restaurant on the way. Sushi Howe turned out to be a good pick. I was a bit chilled so tempura udon was a good choice. While the tempura (1 shrimp & 2 sweet potato) weren't quite traditionally done, the rest of the bowl was really good. It was a big serving and my husband happily helped me finish it. Forgot what it was the hubby ordered (probably a -don bowl), but he enjoyed it. Reminded us of places we frequent back home. Familiarity is always a good thing.
It's so so this sushi place. We ordered take out. I ordered a house roll, chicken yakisoba, the pacific roll the special with sashimi combo , nigiri, and miso. Flavours are there but what was disappointing was the avocados in the roll was like someone only smeared it in with a butter knife that that it was hardly anything there. Our house roll even there was very lil salmon and tuna inside.. for 8.75 I usually expect way more salmon and tuna then it being just a thin smear. I've gone to so many other sushi places and never have experienced this as I felt like I was eating just a California roll just only stuffed with crab. Maybe their take out is different from their in house while having a few cocktails??
We only came in for a couple pieces as we were headed somewhere else. I really wish we stayed because the smoked salmon and regular salmon were outstanding! Just the right amount of rice so you can actually taste the fish. Service was quick and they seem to get a lot of take out. read more

October 30, 2025 - Next on the list was a location in downtown Vancouver - Sushi Howe. We got Party Tray A, which came with a California Roll, Dynamite Roll, Yam Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, Salmon Roll, Tuna Roll, Kappa Roll, Tamago Roll. Overall the food was really good. The yam roll actually kind of surprised me in a good way. It was sweet of course, but a different change of pace when it comes to sushi. The raw fish was all fresh and tasty. However, the imitation crab that was used in the dynamite roll and California was a bit different than the imitation crab used in Toronto. Also, I don't think the yam went well with the dynamite roll as it was an odd sweet and savoury mixture. Those were my only two complaints, but overall, I enjoyed the sushi. read more

* Rebirth - but still over sauced * Sushi Ville, home of the budget sushi rolls which always had WAAAAYYYYY too much sauce on them closed in this location. There has been a rebirth with the recent opening of Sushi Howe. I had the B Combo ($9.75) which included a bincho maki, california roll, and dynamite roll. I had forgotten how they used so much sauce at the previous restaurant here, as it had been years since I had been. But I remembered once the plate arrived. They had a very generous portion of each of the rolls. The bincho maki was presented artfully in a flower shape with fresh tasting bincho being the star. The california roll had a generous amount of fake crab, a very thinly sliced avocado, and some cucumber for good measure. The dynamite roll was quite large, and incredibly oversauced. I am NOT a fan of the sauce. The roll itself had a generous amount of fake crab, fried shrimp, and fried yam. The complimentary miso soup was strong and not overly salty. It had little bits of tofu as well. Overall the combo set was presented nicely for a budget sushi shop, and the items tasted fresh. I could entirely do without the gloopy goopy sauces though! If I return I'll have to remember to say "No sauce please!" read more

Sushi Howe was amazing! We were particularly delighted by the Vancouver roll, takoyaki, and spicy salmon rolls. Everyone working was so friendly when we picked up our order and they threw in free edamame for ordering online! 5/5 would eat here again read more

Came here for a quick lunch, got the veggie california roll, kappa roll, and a side of spicy mayo. Both rolls were decent, fresh, but nothing too special. I felt like the veggie roll was pretty small and as you can see in the picture, kind of squished. The kappa roll was not super well made and a few pieces fell apart. Not a ton of flavour in the veggie roll (which is why I got the side of spicy mayo, so no big deal) and I was a little disappointed in the presentation of the kappa roll after seeing the pretty flower designs here on yelp, mine was just put on the plate like any other roll - not the end of the world but the restaurant was completely empty when I was there and it would've been awesome if they had gone the extra mile with the presentation. It's a tiny restaurant, but clean and the staff were polite. Service was good, I got my order really quickly. The menu is pretty good, lots of options and decent prices. Would probably come here again! read more
