**NOTE: This restaurant is on Mainland Street, NOT Hamilton, as listed on this Yelp page. See note from business manager to confirm. Establishment is on Mainland, directly across from the Roundhouse skytrain station and Yaletown square. FYI** It's a rarity indeed to find a decent restaurant in the heart of Yaletown, right on Mainland, that is super reasonably priced. Add to the mix that it serves fresh food, has a humongous menu (TONS of choices), and the staff are incredibly nice. AND it's reasonably priced! (Have I mentioned that?). I was really surprised - in a GOOD way - that this sushi place checked off all these boxes...and it's in Yaletown. Wow. This place has a gazillion choices for sushi, sashimi, yakisoba skewers, donburi rice bowls, robata barbecue, tempura, and even salads. They even have a whole menu devoted to vegetarian/vegan dishes. Oh, and their cocktail menu looked fabulous! I saw a few tiki-esque cocktails that I'll be returning to try come the summertime. My friend and I recently met here for dinner and we opted to sit outside, in their covered patio area. It was chilly, and the staff noticed I kept rubbing my arms, so they came out to ask if they could put on the heaters for me. (I didn't even initiate this conversation. They just noticed!). Wow, those heaters were wonderful! And how nice, that they did this for me. And our server was lovely; she (and a few others) came by sporadically to ask if we needed anything and to see if everything was okay. Very attentive. Our food was wonderful. I had various sashimi and some prawn skewers, and my friend had some vegetarian options. All was delicious. This is a super spot and we both agreed to return SOON. read more

So, this review is for the MAINLAND location....not sure why the address here says HAMILTON...anyway.... When I went, it was past lunch rush and the place was understandably quiet. The service was ok and the interior was cozy. I can imagine a cool happy-hour evening vibe happening here. I ordered the Salmon Avocado roll, Spicy salmon roll and their Gyoza. The spicy salmon roll was more sweet than spicy, so if you're not into sweet rolls I wouldn't order that particular one. What really stood out for me was their home-made pork pan-fried Gyoza. It was one of the better made ones I've had. I love Gyoza and usually include them in my order when at a sushi place and this one was specially good. Other than that, it was a good experience but not a blow-me away experience. read more

This is some of the most over priced and mediocre sushi I've ever had. Consistency of the California roll inside crab mix was weird. A couple was arguing in the restaurant, and a random old man wearing a fedora falling asleep in the corner with the waitress half yelling at him to see if he was okay. Sunomono was good but super overpriced and tiny portion. read more

Ever since the Reno and Relocation this place has gone downhill. I used to eat at the location on Davie street weekly and ordered delivery from this place for the past 8 years. The service is always great but the food quality is progressively worse and much more expensive. This is sadly no longer my go-to spot. read more

Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was expecting a lot from their Vento Box, considering it clocked in at a solid $27. Unfortunately for the price, it's not worth it. It tasted pretty average. I think they use some kind of carrot lox to sub smoked salmon, which is pretty cool. That's probably by the box is so expensive however. It kind of tasted "fishy" to me, but I wasn't blown away or anything... it just wasn't that creative. The mochi was probably the best part of the box. I didn't really expect it but -- damn. All in all, I probably wouldn't return to this place. Maybe try it out for the vegan options if you're curious. read more

Expansive vegan menu with creative options, but middle-of-the-road quality and overpriced. I ordered to go their TOY Vento Box combination from the vegan menu for a whopping $27 (plus tax), so I was expecting a generous portion of food. The box came with a Philly smoked "salmon" roll, which has avocado, cucumber, "crab" cake, and vegan salmon lox; miso soup; 6 pc of veggie tempura; 3 pc of different Nigiri (Inari, avocado, and vegan salmon); seaweed salad; and mochi (dessert). The miso and salad were standard, with the latter being a rather measly portion of seaweed on top of iceberg lettuce. The tempura was very solid, coming with a nice mix of vegetables (including broccoli and green bean). The sushi was odd -- certainly creative. The Philly roll I wasn't totally sold on -- wasn't a huge fan of the vegan crab cake or vegan smoked lox -- but it was decent. The mochi was gelatinous, with a tasty sweet red bean paste filling. Overall, tasty enough and certainly creative, but I wasn't all that impressed with anything I got and don't think it's good value for money. There are better sushi places out there, including for creative vegan sushi. read more

Very friendly service, clean, and most importantly, fresh fish. The rice was a little dry and the miso could've had more tofu + seaweed, but otherwise a great spot in Yaletown. read more

Always amazing food and fantastic service. I have been going there for years and am always impressed

I've been ordering from sushi maro recently very often. I stopped for a while because I thought the quality went down but it has become my favourite sushi place again. I'd say there are inconsistencies sometimes with their sushi but most of the time it's pretty good (for the price) For my personal taste, their raw fish sometimes smells and I wouldn't order sashimi from here. But for cooked food or aburi sushi this place is a very good choice. I hope they can improve the quality of their raw fish as well, I think they might keep the fish for too long or not with the right temperature and that's why it's not the best. So depending on what you order, sushi maro can be very good and I recommend you try it! read more

My friend G brought me here for dinner on June 26th and I liked their service here. G got some fried rice and I had 6pcs Sockeye Salmon Sashimi ($11.99) and Hot Girl Roll ($12.99) they were delicious. Sashimi was fresh. Service was fast and attentive. Because we both sat by patio tables, my friend closed the window so we can talk better. It was bit annoying when the waitress opened the window to ask something. We felt kind of distracted from that. Everything else was great though. I liked the portion and taste from Sushi Maro. read more

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

My family and I went to Sushi Maro for Dine out Vancouver on January 16th- we ordered 5 dine-out meals. In my past DOV experiences, everyone's courses come out together and each person enjoys they own meal - one course at a time. The first thing to hit our table were 2 portions of the 2nd course; I figured the other 3 were on the way and that the server was just unable to carry it all at once. About 15 minutes passed and 2 portions of the 3rd course came out. At this point, I had realized something wasn't right I asked the server where the remaining 3 portions of the 2nd course were (that was brought out first.) She assured me that it was on the way. In short, everything was brought out in random order and because of this, everyone at the table ended up sharing. Had I known this in advance, we would've ordered off the menu and at least had more variety. We also ordered 10 of the amaebi nigiri with the option of having the heads deep-fried. After waiting about an hour, we ended up being shorted 1 - but still being charged the price for 10. By now, we were beyond frustrated and weren't eating to enjoy our food anymore. We were eating to simply get out ASAP. We ended up having to explain to the staff how Dine out Vancouver works - the supervisor was apologetic and offered us 10% off our meal. After paying the bill, I realized the 10% off had not been taken off (my mistake for not reviewing before paying.) When I brought this to their attention, the supervisor said she was unable to void/refund the payment and walked over with a $5 bill. I was in shock as our bill came to $240. She walked back to the register and returned with a $20 bill - still not 10%. Not that $4 is a huge deal, but it's the principle. Not wanting to be in this establishment anymore, we just left. I was told to call back the next day to speak with their assistant manager. When I called, she, as well, was apologetic, but seemed to just use Covid as a cop-out. I as well used to work in the hospitality industry so I understand the struggle to hire with Covid, but I feel like it was no excuse for the horrible experience we had. The assistant manager told me to call again on Thursday to speak with someone above her. When I called, this gentleman did nothing, but brush me off and threw an email address at me (Sarah's) I sent an email to Sarah expressing how I wanted to discuss my experience; Sarah said she would prefer to discuss via email, but I figured a phone call would save us a ton of back and forth so I mentioned I would prefer a phone call and provided my contact information. She said would call, but never did. It has now been almost a month (January 26th) This was definitely the worst dining experience I have ever had. Safe to say I will definitely not be returning to this place nor recommending it to anyone. read more

I wouldn't recommend this sushi place, save your money and time, and go somewhere else. Walked in today and ordered. Upon arriving, the waitress was super friendly and sat us right away. There was only 1 other group in the restaurant as we arrived at 1130 am. Refreshments and the menu arrived immediately, which was great. I usually order the same thing at most sushi restaurants, so upon sitting, I asked for a miso soup and a tako sunomono to start while we looked through the menu. The waitress came back about 5 minutes later to ask what we would like for the rest of our meal. We ordered a summertime roll $18 a 6 piece tuna sashimi $13 yam tempura roll $5.5 Unagi Roll $8 Spider roll soft crab $12 Avacado Roll $5.75 and restated that we have already ordered the Tako Sunomono $7 and Miso soup $3. I've stated the prices to help you judge the cost of the establishment. It's not the most expensive place for sure but it's definitely more expensive than the average. After waiting about 10 minutes, the miso arrives and about 5 minutes after the Tako arrives. Oddly, I was thinking to myself why it would take so long for these items as there's a staff of 5 in the kitchen and only one other table seated. Patiently waiting nearly 30 minutes is when the waitress comes to refill my water and I had to ask what's taking so long as we've nearly waited 30 minutes for our order and she stated she would go check on it. After a minute, she came back very apologetic and stated that the order was never received and there's something wrong with the system, but they would put a rush on it right away. About 5 minutes after that, the sashimi arrived, and the rest of the food came. The food itself was sab par. Sashimi was fine, but the rolls not so much. I have been eating sushi for over 25 years, so I can definitely distinguish between quality and not. The sushi rice was cold and hard. Tasted old, as if it was reused from the previous day. Given that we were one of the first to arrive for the lunch menu, one would expect nothing but the freshest right. Wrong. The waitress brought Tempura sushi, and we said we ordered a tempura roll, so she immediately took it back and remade it. The order returned, and it was cold. Tempura rolls are normally warm as the tempura comes right off the deep fryer. The summertime roll was average given the cost and there was a shell in one of the pieces. The soft shell crab and unagi roll were tasteless as the amount of meat in each was miniscule. I'm not one to complain, I usually just won't return if I don't like a place. I complained to my girlfriend and when the waitress came back, my girlfriend told her that there wasn't much softshell crab in the sushi and her response was aww not much meat ok OK.. lol, zero lack of care. The spider roll was all batter. There was no soft shell crab. We asked for the bill and thought perhaps they would have tried to correct some of their mistakes by removing something off the bill, but nope, just apologies. Paid $75 for 2 of us and left. So do yourself a favor and go to sushi Ki Isu Japanese Restaurant just 2 minutes walk or sushi mugen. I've been to both, both are competitively priced but far superior in quality. I've added 2 pictures to show how little the crab portion of my twelve dollar spider roll was. read more

My favourite thing about Sushi Maro is that it's decent food at a decent price in Yaletown, which is hard enough to find! But the sushi I had was really just decent; I got the Roll Combo B, so there were avocado, tuna, and salmon maki rolls, and while the quantity was good for the price (18 pieces total), none of them really had great flavour or texture. I feel like they also skimped on the ginger - I love ginger at sushi places, so I'm always wanting more, but this still felt like less than average. The appetizers were miso soup - pretty standard - and an iceberg lettuce salad, which had a surprisingly nice dressing but is still ultimately iceberg lettuce. There was tea, too, which was also pretty good. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the space itself was nice! No complaints there; it's just a shame the food tasted a little bland, though I'd still go back if someone else wanted sushi and I wanted affordable food. read more

Got this place recommended and was really looking forward the vegetarian/ vegan sushi options. Unfortunately I didn't have a good experience. I ordered through fantuan - the driver was amazing and found me right away plus he was 20 min early! But the sushi wasn't good. The rice was undercooked and the sushi rolls were sticking to each other so I couldn't seperate them properly, the vegetarian roll fell apart right away. Miso soup without ingredients. read more

I was genuinely a bit surprised at all the mediocre reviews. I personally had a pretty great experience at Sushi Maro. I was looking to kill some time while waiting for my mom and realized that at 4 PM, I hadn't had lunch. So I walked into Sushi Maro and grabbed a table for myself. I sat myself at a table in the corner and my server brought over water and tea right away. They have a good selection of the regular basic rolls and also have a chef's specials list. I decided to go for one of the regular rolls: deep fried california roll and one chef's special rolls: Hawaii roll (salmon, avocado, mango, cream cheese, spicy mayo). Not even 5 minutes after I ordered, my rolls were brought out to me. Both were tasty and quickly eaten - good signs of a good dish. My server was welcoming, quick, and very excited to chat with me. Compared to other sushi restaurants in Yaletown, Sushi Maro is definitely on the cheaper end and still pretty good quality. Will be back. read more

Was in Yaletown on my way to work and needed a quick bite. The customer service was not that great since the restaurant was empty and the waitress decided to glare at me. For $8.91, I got a california roll and salmon maki. The california roll consisted of 6 rolls which is OUTRAGEOUS for the price considering most sushi bars will give you 8 rolls for an even cheaper price. The salmon in the maki wasn't even fresh to start with and the wait took forever. Maybe I would have a better experience if I was eating in... might come back for their happy hour. read more

"Meh. I've experienced better." - good encapsulation of my experience at Sushi Maro. Rolls are 3 stars - hits the spot when you're having a craving, but relies on sauces rather than the flavours of the ingredients. Good value though since the prices are below average. Nigiri and sashimi - very meh, I wouldn't bother with it again. Tamago tastes like 'fake' (whatever that means)... was almost enough to make me tear up :( Service is okay (what's that even mean, like 3 stars?) - efficient and friendly. Space is pretty cramped with little leg room for anybody 5'9"+ Yeah... sorry, not terribly enthused to make an effort on this review.

Not bad. New to the neighbourhood and wanted to find a decent sushi place to have dinner at. Aside from the traditional Japanese sushi they have some creative rolls which were delicious. Price was resos able. Decor and ambiance was pretty good. Only issue was the service - slow and they kept forgetting what we asked for (ie bill or water). I recommend the Hot girl roll.

** POOR quality in tuna and salmon!! I am so beyond disgusted. I had to throw away $35 worth of sushi due to their horrible quality. Some raw tuna had blood spots in them... and some raw salmon pieces were brown like they are "old", they also smelled extremely off! And the unagi rolls had some bones in them still intact. Disgusting disgusting. But their mango slices are heavenly. And the avocado rolls were great. I guess... their fruits and vegetables are the best, but raw fishes? Hell no. ** read more

Excellent quality sushi at a very reasonable price point. I've been coming here for quite some time now, and usually the service is pretty good except for the most recent time I went. Possibly during the dinner rush, with a line up, they wanted to get people in and out faster. I have been here enough times to give them the benefit of the doubt, and say it's only a one off. I know there are tons of sushi places around this area and there's also fancier and more high end places like Minami just around the corner...but if you are just looking for a satisfying, unassuming meal then Sushi Maro will do the job for you. read more

We ordered the Nabeyaki udon, deluxe sushi combo and deep fried soft shell crab. The sushi was fresh tasting, udon was hearty and comforting to our stomachs on a cold rainy February day and was decent sized portions. My cousin's favourite was the deep fried soft shell crab. I thought it was still very tasty but she told me that they used to serve more pieces and the quantity is less this time around and served on a smaller plate as well. Overall, it is a pretty good sushi place that didn't disappoint. However, I have to agree to with of the other reviews that in this area there are just too many high end sushi places that it is competing with. But you get what you pay for and this is pretty good bang for your buck. read more

This is a typical Vancouver style Japanese restaurant in the heart of yaletown. Situated so it's super convenient for office workers, tourists and yaletown residents who just want to grab a quick bite in the area. But and this is a big but, there's nothing unique here and the prices are higher than average. You can find much better quality (and quantity) Japanese restaurants downtown if you walk towards the West End on Davie street, west side of Robson or Denman street. Service is a bit slow and hit or miss. read more

My fiancé and I have been going to sushi maro for several years now, as we live in the area. The service was getting considerably worse each year. Our Friday night our dinner date turned out to be a disaster after waiting for our order for 40 mins. They completely forgot about our order and the couple behind us was getting their 3rd dish while we were hungrily trying to flag our server down. As a matter of fact, the couple behind us got the same exact dish that we ordered, except our table was completely empty. The server hasn't talked to us in 40 mins, and then she apathetically made an effort to apologize, but that didn't seem genuine. There was no explanation why our order took so long. At some point we wanted to leave, but we were so hungry that we decided to wait more. We won't be coming back. read more

Wonderful sushi restaurant in yaletown. The portions are pretty big for what you pay and their service is excellent. We had to wait a bit for a table, since it is one of the most popular sushi bars in Vancouver, but definitely worth the wait. A huge tip is the maro combo, fantastic surprise. Also the dynamite rolls are awesome too, but pretty hot. Definitely worth visiting and the prices are not bad for the portions you get. read more

Removed 2 stars due to my friend's experience couple days ago at Sushi Maro. She ordered a sushi combo but she asked the waitress to switch one roll on the combo to another one. The waitress said it would cost $1.00 more. My friend agreed to pay for switching the roll. When the combo arrived, my friend noticed the combo came with the actual roll and not the roll that she asked for. My friend told to the waitress it came wrong and the waitress said she couldn't switch anymore. My friend ended up eating the sushi she didn't want to and, when the check arrived, the waitress charged the $1.00 for the switch that didn't happen. My friend asked to remove the $1.00 from the check, but the waitress said she couldn't remove it! She ended up paying the 1.00 more for the roll she didn't have. This is really unacceptable. read more

Save your money, Yelpers. Not authentic, and quality of sushi isn't very good. Chinese chefs making sushi lol. Plus no parking right on Davie either. If you've been there, you'll notice how cramped it is. read more

So the only tip I would give here is to go for the Rolls or the Combos. The sushi is pretty decent but I got caught on ordering their special pieces of sushi. I paid $7 for ONE piece of Kobe beef sushi and I think $4 for ONE piece of tuna on top of sushi rice....so I was a little pissed about that. Don't get me wrong the pieces were good, but I was still hungry. Meanwhile, for the same price my friend got about 16 pieces of some rolls she ordered. Oh well, lesson learned. I've been here before for their lunch combo and that is pretty decent. If you're in Yaletown this is probably your most inexpensive place for sushi (unless you head up Davie closer to Granville.) read more
