Visited for late lunch with parents. We ordered the yakisoba and yakiudon bento with sashimi roll combo ($17.95) . Service is slow for a Tuesday afternoon. Took awhile for our food to arrive we were getting hangry. Miso soup is not included like most places(add $1.20) . Food presentation is average , taste and portions is also mediocre. We didn't like the sides on the bento and you only get 2 pieces of tempura! Very disappointing. They're also on the pricier side. The only thing I liked is their big menu with many options to choose from but I'm not too sure if I should return . read more

Worst experience I've ever had in any restaurant. We were four people eating there spending quite a bit of money but the service was so bad I will never forget it. They were so unappreciative of our business they didn't even care to give us more tea when asked. I could go on and on but for your own good. Stay away from this place! Many other more appreciative Sushi restaurants in the area! read more

I live a short distance away and have visited this location many times since their grand opening in November 2016. The decor is beautiful - artificial cherry blossom trees with fairy lights are scattered around the dining area which boasts spacious hardwood seating. Their seating arrangements can easily accommodate groups large and small with a variety of seating options including traditional backless benches (in both the common area and private curtained areas), booths and small tables. At times the service can be slow, but in my experience the staff have always been very pleasant and friendly. The menu is very large and imposing, but the food has always been constantly tasty and well made, no matter what I've ordered. read more

Today we went for lunch. Their pandemic protocol required us to wait outside. Somehow they said they don't serve the usual Japanese tea but only water. Funny. We ordered their Lava roll with seared scallops on top ($11) and half order of 4 prawn tempura ($6.5) The Lava roll was not fresh smelling and half way through, was visited by some flies that competed with us and landed on the rolls. Their management had all kinds of excuse but because the flies were small ones, their excuses were not convincing. They removed the adulterated portions and charged us half. So we had to order something else. We ordered their Sunshine roll and this time it was better but we still don't like the smell. Last time we were there, we sooooo enjoyed the food but this time, not good at all. We liked the ambience though, with lots of white Japanese blossom trees throughout the restaurant. read more

Understaffed. Ordered takeout 1 hour in advance and still had to wait. The takeout person kept messing up the orders. Saw him call a customer back because he gave her the wrong order. Magma roll was good. Sushi was average. read more

Average tasting sushi and sashimi. Felt like there should have been more people working during a lunch rush on a Saturday. There were way too many diners for the amount of servers they had. We had to wait for a while for our order to be taken and for our food to arrive. They also forgot to bring tea and wasabi/ginger until halfway through our meal, we also asked for water which never came. The pieces of sashimi were pretty small for the price. I ordered three rolls, two of which came with sauces, they put them all on one plate and the sauces kind of ran and got all over the other rolls. I've definitely had better sushi and service for less money. Will not be rushing to come back here. read more

Terrible. Don't waste your money. This place used to be great, I was a loyal customer. Now the food is mediocre, the service is THE WORST in coquitlam (they don't assign tables to servers but all just check in on all the tables....obviously this leads to horrible service as nobody knows when a table was last checked) and the last couple servers I've had were super rude. Really disappointing, I used to love this place but now it's one of the worst sushi places in Coquitlam. They've gone downhill after reopening in the new space. read more

The worst service! Servers don't acknowledge you for some reason. We waited for about 20 mins for a server to attend us. We left I've tried the Burnaby spot! Much better service hands down. read more

The staff were nice but the food was honestly the worst sushi my husband and I have ever had. We tried a variety of rolls and dishes and there wasn't a good dish in the bunch. We had to ask for soy sauce for dipping our rolls in which was odd because in any other sushi restaurant they usually provide that without asking. The tempura was heavy, the rice for the rolls seemed odd and mushy and there was little to no flavor in all of the food. The food we took away from the restaurant went straight into our green waste bin once we got home (not even sure why we took the leftover food). I've eaten here before and remember it to be way better than it was on this visit but after this last visit I don't recommend this place if you want good sushi. read more

At one time this place was great, though it's been several years. The current owner and staff have done a disservice to what this place was. The service: you will get attitude, ignored, and generally feel unwanted. The food: it is generally of poor quality, is clearly not fresh, or isn't being stored properly. And everything is horribly overpriced based on a combination of those things. They removed several great items when the owners changed. Here are 2 examples of the same issue. First time, ordered tuna sashimi and received it absolutely frozen, like hard frozen with the inside actually icy. Next time, ordered several different sashimis, and they came out at room temperature at best, with a slight sliminess, and there was a smell. Guaranteed they aren't storing fish according to FoodSafe standards. I will never go here again and would suggest anyone thinking about it to choose another establishment. You will probably be happier eating anywhere but here. And that was very disappointing for me, as this was my favourite local place at one time. The only positive was the interior of this place. But, it's been the same for years. They are so lazy that the Christmas lights stayed hung in their fake cherry trees for months (not sure if still there cause wont go back). If you are too lazy to take these off, imagine just how dirty this place is. And I'll let you have a guess - it is EXTREMELY dusty and dirty, and these branches are hanging over you as you eat. Don't go. read more

Terrible service. Mediocre food. I wouldn't recommend it. The fish was sub par, a little mushy if you know what I mean. The restaurant is new as the old one was destroyed in a fire. We'd been to the old location a couple of times before (years ago) and thought that we'd check out the new location. Ambience is nice. Food is poor, service is non existent. To to point where, a few minutes after asking for some soy sauce, I noticed the table across from us still hadn't received their request, so I took it upon myself to walk our bottle over to them so they could enjoy their meal... I knew there request would be a long time in coming. Nobody ever checked on our food, if we wanted more nothing. On the upside, if you don't know any better, they include a spoon for your Miso Soup... My wife liked her Udon, it was "fine", not a meal saver however. Stay away. read more

2 strikes and I won't bother giving Sushi Mori a 3rd chance! AMBIANCE 7/10 (LOVE the cherry blossoms) FOOD 3/10 (Very overpriced for the quality; bland) SERVICE 1/10 (I give them a 1 for actually walking the food over to us which was literally the extent of the "service" we received on both occasions) VALUE 2/10 Again, overpriced and bland My biggest frustration with this place is the utter lack of service! Both times we went I had to 1) Get up and find a server to order, after sitting there for 10 minutes with our menus closed 2) Get up and ask for water because there is absolutely zero table maintenance/service 3) Get up and find a server in order to pay our bill (after we had been finished our meals and sitting there for 15-20 minutes with a table FULL of dirty plates and empty tea cups.) I thought, after being unhappy with the experience the first time, that maybe they were just short-staffed and that perhaps we ordered the wrong items because they were pretty 'meh'. However, the 2nd time we went they were only about at 12-15% capacity with MORE than enough confused-looking servers and once again, our food was sh*t. (sorry) Next! read more

The restaurant just reopened on Nov 15th at a new location although in the same strip mall. It was pretty busy as it was the weekend. Make sure you write your name and the number of people in your party on the white board. The ambience is nice and it's more spacious compared to the old location. The washroom is clean. The menu is extensive, maybe too much at the expense of efficiency and quick service. They have lunch specials up til 3pm. Most if us had the lunch special combo roll which arrived soom enough. However, it took awhile for the bento box to arrive. We were almost two thirds done with our meals before the box arrived. There was also a slight confusion with serving our food as they gave us the wrong order and we had to flag down the server again. The rolls themselves were just so so. Nothing to really write home about. I've had better rolls in other sushi joints. The bento box were not only late but also cold. The tempura was good. Price point is also higher compared to other sushi joints. Servers were friendly but they were pretty busy so it was a bit hard to flag down a server to ask for tea or the bill. Overall, it was just meh. I wouldn't mind coming back after a few months. Maybe they just needed some time to sort out some kinks. read more

Nice service although can be a bit slow at the end closer to the evening and closing hours. Decent food and not cheap but still reasonable price. Sashimi aren't that's amazing but decent freshness but really thick so the skill is meh. Decent rice and chicken dishes. Sake and green tea is fine but not the best quality there is. Lots of parking spaces and usually no need for reservation. The interior is very nice with the Sakura (cherry blossom) lights and nice atmosphere. Decent for a date, small or medium groups, alone, kids or family. read more

Sushi Mori is right on Barnet Hwy in Port Moody at a plaza with lots of parking. We entered the restaurant and were welcomed by the staff as soon as we walked in (they greet you in japanese). Their menu is huge! I wasn't sure were to start, lots of options from appetizers, cold tapas, hot tapas, salads, rolls, nigiris, sushi, sashimi, yaki sobas, udons, hot plates, hot pots, desserts, etc... (take deep breath...yes! It was huge!). The waiters were young, fast and knowleadgeable about their menu. The service was fast as well. The place was packed on Sunday evening and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. The decor is pretty neat! I love the trees inside the restaurant (cherry blossoms?), they have beautiful wood all over the place and I really liked the customized japanese booths. After trying to figure out what we wanted from the menu, we ordered and got the food within 10 minutes. Everything was very fresh, however, it lacked a bit in presentation for the prices they have. They aren't cheap and they aren't super expensive but it is definitely higher than an average to good sushi restaurant. The cheapest bento boxes I saw go for $14.95, however they come with sashimi besides all the regular stuff, so that makes them reasonable. The rolls are on the small side though. I tried their spicy tuna and their chopped scallop and tobiko roll (pretty standard), their chicken yakisoba rocks!. They have a cold tapa: Yakko which I didn't really like much (chilled tofu with a special sauce and green onions) but I did like their tempura (perfect amount of batter, nice tasty vegetables and the prawns were huge and delicious!). The serve their green tea in a cute little stone kettle (very quaint!) and the tea cups are cute. I would give them 5 stars for decor and speed; 4 stars for service and freshness and 3 stars for flavours and presentation. Total rating: 3.5 stars. I really loved the little chocolate treats they bring with the bill!!! (Yum!) and I will definitely go back. I LOVED their atmosphere! read more

This place has one of the most beautiful decors. Inside, there are traditional tatami rooms and cherry blossoms that light up the atmosphere. The service is good and so is the food. The lunch and dinner boxes are a tremendous deal, and if you're lucky, at the end of your meal, you will receive complimentary chocolate cookies that are completely out of place at a Japanese restaurant, but are so good that you will be so happy to have had such an odd experience. They melt in your mouth! Seriously people, just order whatever so you can get some of those awesome cookies! read more

Nothing wrong about non-Japanese owned Japanese restaurants, but there's something to be said about Japanese-runned ones. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the staff was speaking Japanese, the decor of indoor imitation trees/brightly lit leaves reminded me of a place in Shibuya and the tea kettle of heavy cast iron felt like it was forged out of some mine in Northern Japan. Oh yeah, the food. Fresh. I came here with my brother and sisters' families and we had a variety to woof on. My sister-in-law, of 5th generation Japanese descent had the Aburi Sashimi...totemo oishii deshita. This was the salmon toro with daikon salsa, marinated tuna, whole scallop variety. My brother and I had assorted sushi. Atarashii deshita...I loved the taco. One sister had the okonomiyaki, of course this is your Japanese pancake-like mix of different ingredients depending on the region of Japan. That was hearty. The kids and other sis, had donburi. Tasty, but a lot to eat...need doggy bag onigaishimasu. The staff was attentive, service was quick and the ingredients were all fresh, duh, we're in Vancouver. OK, let's say all of the above in Nihongo: Resustorant ga suki deshita. Kyodai no kodomo wa donburi to oyakodon o tabemashita. Imoto wa onigiri to okonomiyaki o taberu ototo wa sushi no tako o tabenai. ototo no tsuma wa sashimi o tabemashita. Watashi wa sushi tabemashita. sake to tara to aguro to sanma wa atarashii deshita. totemo oishii deshita... We're in Canada, and we must repeat things in French: Mes soeurs, et mon frère, nièces et neveu sont allés à ce restaurant japonais agréable. Le décor a inclus les arbres d'imitation qui m'ont rappelé un restaurant que vous trouveriez dans Shibuya. Le personnel de restaurant était Japonais, parlant japonais avec l'attitude japonaise. Mon une soeur a eu un okonomiyaki très bien disposé, mon frère et moi avons pris les sushi de combinaison, mon autre soeur et ses enfants ont eu le donburi et ma soeur a pris le sashimi. Nourriture bien préparée et fraîche. Excellent. OK, for my Spanish friends who want to come up to B.C.: Mis hermanas, la cuñada, mi hermano, las sobrinas y el sobrino fueron a este restaurante japonés agradable. La decoración incluyó los árboles de imitación que me recordaron un restaurante que usted encontraría en Shibuya. El personal del restaurante era japonés, hablando japonés con actitud japonesa. Mi una hermana tenía un okonomiyaki muy bien preparado, mi hermano y yo comíamos el sushi de la combinación, mi otra hermana y sus cabritos tenían donburi y mi cuñada comía el sashimi. Alimento bien preparado y fresco. Excelente. OK, my Tagalog sucks, but we are a multi-lingual, multi-cultural family: Masarap talaga ang sushi. Maganda ang mga dekorsion. Listo listong ang mga mesero....(OK Daly City, please don't lynch me, my Tagalog will eventually improve). read more

They have the best Japanese food in the area and they do Japanese food beyond the typical 'california roll + others' Most of the Japanese food restaurants actually focus on cheap & quick food without attention to quality of the food food at this place actually is flavorful and they have a much wider selection of Japanese food - I especially recommend their okonomiyaki ! they have put a lot of effort into making the interior nice as well one star off because they can be a bit pricey but for the quality they provide, I'm OK with it and definitely would recommend this place read more

Beautiful restaurant with attentive, delightful service and really good food. While waiting for your order I suggest playing a little game of "find the fish", as everything in the place has a carved fish. It is pretty awesome. The tea kettles, the walls, the door frames, etc. So much detail. And of course, the cherry trees, which make it seem like you are sitting on a patio at dusk. The attention to detail is also present in the food they serve. Gorgeous food with fresh ingredients. The kitchen looked very busy, with more staff than you usually see at a counter-style sushi joint. This is no generic sushi place. This place is the real thing. The price reflects the restaurant-style dining, as opposed to cheapy sushi joints, so expect to pay more than you would at any of the billion sushi places in Vancouver. However, to me, this quality and atmosphere make it worth it for a nice treat. Excellent place to take a date. I had a caterpillar roll and a gomae. Both were excellent. Gomae could have used a touch more sauce, but I'm a saucy kind of gal, so more sauce the better, in my books. I got miso and pickled vegetables complimentary and a bit of fruit at the end of my meal! So many extras, the price is definitely worth it. Also, nice bathroom! Finally, a place to go while my car gets serviced. Yes! read more

My favorite sushi in the area. The Service is amazing- the atmosphere is wicked and they have really great specials too!

I decided to check this place out after my hairdresser recommended it (it was her favorite restaurant before it burnt down.) It's along the Barnet in a small plaza with plenty of parking. We came in for lunch yesterday and the place was fairly busy considering it was a cool and icy day. The first thing that struck me was the beautiful cherry blossoms on the ceiling. That was so gorgeous and calming that I couldn't help but stare at it all throughout my meal. The wooden tables and seating were also very unusual in a good way - dark polish, simple wood arranged inconspicuously under the cherry blossoms. They also had booths with the same furnishing. At the front, they had samples of what I would assume would be their popular dishes. We didn't have to wait too long for a table even when I asked for a different table away from the front door - we sat by the window and I had a great view of the flora. The menu was an encyclopedia! Which was fine as it gave us time to read some of it as the order taking was a bit slow - it didn't seem like they had enough servers. However once one of them came to our table, they were friendly and offered suggestions. I ordered the tuna tacos to start and was glad to get it within 5 minutes. The generous portion of 4 tacos were beautifully arranged on a bed of crushed taco shells. I was a bit overwhelmed at first on how to properly eat them as the tuna sat in these delicately thin shells with the jalapeño sauce and piled high with micro greens and shoestring beets. I tried to put the concoction in my mouth and ended up with a mouthful of veg, crushed taco cup on my chest and no tuna - not elegant! On the next round, I changed my eating tactic and ate veg first and then gently grabbed the cup with the tuna and sauce. The greens were not dressed and hence tasteless and had to be eaten with the slightly pickled, sweet and crunchy beets. The tuna by itself was tasteless and had to be eaten with the sweet (but surprisingly not) spicy jalapeño sauce to give it some life. My next order was the Magma Roll and the Sushi Mori Tower. Once again, they were both plated beautifully but left me wanting. The Magma roll was saturated in the mayo unagi sauce. I had to scrape some of the sauce off the roll to give it a proper taste. It was probably the best of the 3 dishes I had as the (edited) unagi mayo gave the roll a creamy and spicy notes. The crab meat overwhelmed the chicken which was unnecessary in the roll. The Sushi Mori tower was also disappointing. The tuna tasted watery and I had to pair it with the shitake to give it some flavor and texture. The salmon was okay but I had to search for it as there didn't seem to be too much of it. As soon as the crab hit the pool of liquid below, it was hard to eat as it would float away. As for the liquid....not sure what that liquidy concoction was. In summary, great ambiance but meh food. Would I go back, of course! The menu is huge and I may have ordered the wrong things. And I wanna see those cherry blossoms again. read more

Sushi Mori - Great ambience... Meh food - Sushi Bars Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

The servers are quite disorganized and seem to be running all over the place without their own sections, hence you really need to put your hands up to get their attention and be served. I give the varieties of menu a 4 star. The special rolls are full of surprises. The sashimi quality is 3 star. I think this place deserve a 3 star thought I will give it a 4 to pull the average up. read more

Been come here for year. So good. Love the food always. Service so attractive. Love it. Bye. I feel sick. Burnt my tongue.

Sushi Mori breaks the boring "Suburban Sushi" mold by decor (the place feels like a patio in a cherry blossom grove) and better-than-average quality food and options. It is always busy on Friday and Saturday evenings, and makes for surprisingly good people watching. I appreciate how quick they are on takeout - I consistently order takeout during peak hours, and it is done in 10-15 minutes. I also found the servers to be more outgoing and fun than many comparable places. read more

A solid sushi joint with lots of options, including some Korean dishes. Special points for the indoor decor. The space was decorated with a plethora of cherry blossom trees, which was kind of neat, in a you-know-they're-fake-but-it's-still-cute kind of way. Onto the food... The menu is almost too overwhelming with its large collection of specialty rolls with names such as Barbie Doll, Rock n Roll, and Hula Hula. I wonder if the chef has memorized them all? The classic rolls are solid (negitoro, negihama). I was a bit unsure of the other rolls because there seemed to be so much going on, I was skeptical of the flavor combinations. I might have to go back and try them another time. Sushi & rolls are a good value. The okonomiyaki was disappointing as it lacked flavour. There was a lot of emphasis on cabbage and not much else. I tried the jalapeño hamachi sashimi which sounded good but was so-so. There were about 5-6 pieces of hamachi with jalepeno slices on top. Surprisingly not spicy at all. We also ordered the seasoned spicy chicken. Again this was so-so. The suave was very interesting and had good flavour. However at this restaurant they tend to overdo it with sauces, and the chicken wings were victim to this treatment as well. In the end, the sauce overpowered the chicken and it made it a bit difficult to eat. Overall, it was a good experience. Staff was friendly, food was decent. Would I come back? Yes, I would try it again, but I would order different items next time. read more

Upon walking into this cute little establishment, I was promptly greeted and seated quickly. I had brought my bearded dragon with me in a small cage (I arrived an hour early for a vet visit and was starving), and they were kind enough to let me him in-providing I didn't take him out of his cage. The decor is amazing with the two tall (fake) sakura trees contrasted against the wall's dark polished wood. The food was also delicious, I order the Tuna & Salmon Sashimi and the Crispy Coconut Tuna Sashimi. The fish was cut thick and tasted fresh, I really liked the crunch of the coconut and the very lightly cooked outside of the tuna. This place is a little on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for, and this place is definitely worth a trip to Coquitlam! read more

After the fire things clearly went downhill. Terrible service and no compensation for an hour and half wait time at the table. We had to get out of our seats and wave down waitresses for water, food orders and our bills. Having a background in customer service, gets me extra fired up when I see how poor the service quality is here. They knew we were upset and wouldn't even acknowledge it. Was so frustrated last time I won't ever go back. Not even for the cherry blossom atmosphere and the black rice option. #bummed. read more

We used to go here quite often. About a week ago was our last time. Appears that the restaurant has changed hands recently. All the usual staff are gone. With them, the service, cleanliness and quality. The food was nowhere near as good as it used to be. I had the Spicy Bom Roll, one of my favorites. This time the tempura ebi that is part of the roll was cold, tough and stale. My husband received vegetables he is allergic to in his dish - again. After repeatedly requesting not to have them in the dish. The floors were dirty and sticky, like the floors at the movie theater. Too bad, used to be a good place for some good sushi. Time to move on. read more
