You can order from your table, but don't get carried away. Once seated, you can use a touchscreen tablet at each table to browse the menu and order. You can also summon staff for more tea or the bill. It's easy to get carried away and order too much. We noticed that the prices are reasonable when considering the portion size. For example, for the same price elsewhere, Sushi Mura gives much thicker slabs of sashimi. Our orders tend to be a mix of noodles, deep fried items and sushi/sashimi. Food arrives promptly, and there's something for everyone. read more

Sushi Mura - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This location is super busy, they have a massive takeout business and inside gets very crowded at peak times. Show up early or prepare to wait. The parking lot is also a mess, so have patience, or park farther down the street and walk up. The food itself is pretty good quality, the sashimi pieces are huge. Price is on the high side, but the quantity of food is appropriate. The service was great and the staff were attentive. They also serve a low sodium soy sauce option which is nice to see. If you are in a rush or want "quick and dirty" sushi, this is not your place. If you want to sit and enjoy your meal, and not feel rushed, and if you have time to wait, this is a good option for this location. read more

Another sushi mura location visited. This time in Vancouver. The quality is a lot better at this location with the rolls packed tight, which isn't the case for some of the other spots. Ordered a lunch combo and the service is always quick and friendly read more

This sushi joint used to be famous for good quality sushi. Probably after the change of owner, many people said the quality has deteriorated substantially. So I went there to have a try myself. The exterior and interior of the restaurant has no change but obviously the staff are not Japanese anymore. I ordered the Salmon and Tuna Combo and my wife ordered some other sushi rolls. She has been here for a few time before. We found the key issue with the sushi and rolls is the rice is not sticky enough. The nigiri sushi disassembled at the moment you picked it up with chopstick. To be fair the ingredients are fine but really disappointed the chef is not skilful enough. Other than the foods, service and hygiene were OK, nothing to comment. I am hoping the restaurant will have more improvements so there can be more good restaurant for sushi in the neighbourhood around the corner of Oak Street and W 49th. read more

Sushi Mura - Salmon and tuna combo - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Speedy/ excellent service. Good Covid measures! Tea constantly refilled. And extremely good value-wise. I've been slightly disappointed with the food the last couple of times though. Their fried tempura and spider roll's batter just ain't right. One lacks flavour/ overly thick and the other one is just super old oil. Was very disappointed in the salmon blossom roll tonight. Could hardly find any salmon in it anymore. It used to be my second favourite roll at sushi mura. And my salmon sashimi tonight was just sort of fatty and warm. Overall, I've only been satisfied with their crazy rabbit roll and agedashi tofu. I think their Mura Roll is good too. I hope their food improves or becomes a bit more consistent. read more

Sushi Mura is great food, but at this location I much prefer take out or UberEats. It's kind of cramped and the parking situation is not great. My favourite is their snow village roll but I haven't had anything I don't like from them, just if I'm going to dine in it will be at River District usually. read more

Over the years, I've been here many times and I'd consider it my go-to sushi restaurant. Since we knew that there's usually a wait, we made a reservation two days prior and were seated right at our reservation time. The dining area is smaller now since the left side is closed off and used to hold takeout orders. There are some barriers to separate tables as a COVID precaution. Soon after our order was placed, our dishes began to arrive one after another. The service was quick, but it was difficult to get a waiter's attention when we needed tea/water refills. The assorted tempura ($14) had a batter that was crispy and not too thick and the tempura was very hot. The chicken teriyaki ($16) was also very hot. It was flavourful and came on a bed of bean sprouts, but it wasn't anything special. The salmon blossom roll ($16) has always been my favourite and nothing about it has changed over the years. Each piece had a generous amount of salmon on top. However, the dish it was served on was unnecessarily large and took up way too much room. We tried the Mura special roll ($14) but we could've done without it. The inside was basically all tamago and each piece had two slivers of ebi and cucumber. The outside said it was supposed to have salmon and avocado but most of the time it was one or the other. The wild salmon roll ($6?), the tuna roll ($3.5), and the California rolls ($5.25) were standard and tasted as expected. For sashimi, we ordered the tuna and salmon sashimi ($17.25, came with half of each) and a full order of the wild salmon sashimi ($20). Compared to the wild salmon, the farmed salmon had a stronger fish taste, was thicker and chewier. The wild salmon practically tasted like nothing. I suggest sticking to the farmed salmon sashimi since it's cheaper. I believe that the prices have become more expensive over the years, but I think that would be expected for anywhere really. I'd say that better sashimi can be found elsewhere in Vancouver. This is a place to come if you want variety and if you like sushi rolls. read more

I finally got to try this place. 10/10 would come back again. Not your high end tapas bar but your everyday dine out sushi place with decent price and decent. We were a table of 5 with no wait time on a Sunday afternoon. They checked our vaccine card and they had a temperature scanner at the door but there is not much social distancing in the seating area other than the plastic dividers. The volcano roll is unique that the sushi is deep fried with spicy tuna in the centre - perfect pairing. The snowy village contains crab and is sprinkled with tempura flakes - creamy and delicious! The rest are quality as expected. I appreciate that they were able to split the bill for us. The only reason I gave them a 4/5 because we didn't get our tea refilled until the very end. read more

Solid 3.5 Visited on a weekend as a small group. We were seated and served quickly. We shared an order of sashimi and a few special rolls ~$65. Food arrived soon after our order was placed. We didn't have any expectations except for satisfying sushi cravings being nearby. Overall food was fresh and tasted great. Solid for a quick bite. Good Covid measures, small parking lot shared between businesses but street parking available. read more

Lots of restaurant patrons, a line up of 10+ patrons waiting for a table, means it IS a popular busy restaurant. Parking limited, so had to park like a block away. I was craving sushi so this is one of my go-to places for sushi. This review is for 6 out of 7 dishes. From best to least favorite. 9 piece Salmon Sashimi Awesome Roll This is my top favorite that I have ordered time after time. Double Dragon Roll (BBQ Eel) This is a favorite of mine, anything with bbq eel seems to catch my taste buds. Crazy Rabbit Roll This is very big and flaky with lots of masago. Yummy. It is quite difficult to pick up like the spider roll. I would consider a repeat but not one of my top choices. Chop Scallop Roll If looking for a roll with rice on the exterior and light to consume, this is a good selection. Spider Roll This is very big and round, but can easily fall apart while holding in a pair of chopsticks. I am not too crazy about a repeat. read more

Returned after a long hiatus with a few friends and the prices have gone up quite a bit from what i remembered...We got the red roll, the mura roll, salmon sashimi and a spicy tuna combo with the kappa roll changed to california roll. They are quite generous with the portions as each special roll was large, with an adequate amount of filling inside each. I found that the rice was too tightly packed and pretty mushy especially with the amount of sauce they put on their rolls. It is also lacking in rice vinegar but the rolls were all overly salted/sugary because of the sauces. The spicy tuna roll had WAY too much sauce poured on top but the tuna pieces were tasty. Cali roll again a nice portion but too much mayo in the tightly packed roll. My favourite was the salmon sashimi which came in large slices and were quite fresh for a good price! Overall, budget sushi that make you feel very heavy after eating, especially if you get their special rolls. Service has improved but definitely rushes you to get out ASAP. read more

This is ultimately one of my go to places for speciality rolls as they DO NOT DISAPPOINT! They honestly have the most unique rolls and they are so good! We definitely got quite the spread! * ika karrage ($8.95) ~ this was so good! Ultra crispy and crunchy. The squid was juicy and perfectly cooked not to mention they were huge! The seasoning was there and it came with a sauce too which was good with the squid. 10/10 would get this again. It was just delicious. * Double dragon ($14.95) ~ this was good, the unagi and avocado complimented one another, and the sauce topped on top was good with the tobiko eggs. 7/10 - would get this again. Good if you like unagi and avocado! Just a tad bit too much sauce I would've liked it there was a bit less as the unagi sauce is also super powerful flavour wise. * Under the sea ($15.95) ~ this was my favourite roll we got, the seaweed despite it sounded a bit odd WORKED SO WELL! It was refreshing and tasty the sauce made the roll a bit creamy and yummy too. 8/10 would get this again. If your a texture person and don't like the seaweed texture I don't recommend it as it was definitely a more "wet" roll in terms of texture wise. * Aburi salmon ($18.95) ~ unlike regular aburi salmon you can get this was huge, and it had a piece of cream cheese in the middle which took us by surprised and how well it worked with the seared top was Chef kiss. This was actually good combination of creamy, and firm texture in this. 9/10 ~ would get again if I come. It was delicious but it's a heavy roll, so it's good to share or it can be a bit heavy! * Kimchi fried rice ($15.50) ~ a odd combination sushi and kimchi fried rice, the kimchi fried rice was a bit on the tart side from the fermented kimchi. I did wish it was a tad sweeter and flavourful with kimchi taste but it was a bit plain despite the colours of it. The rice was a bit mushy for my liking as I prefer firmer rice when it comes to fried rice. 5/10 ~ honestly not a dish I'd get again. Lacked kimchi flavour and the rice was just too mushy. * read more

My go to sushi spot, can't really go wrong with it. It's mot the greatest spot but they are good enough and they have a few locations. They have increased their prices overtime but are still a good option to turn to. Their sushi is good quality and their service is also good. read more

Decided to try this place out after the place I usually buy sushi from closed for the day. And I am amazed to how bad the quality is. The rice was overnight rice reheated. The fish was obviously frozen and quickly defrosted. Nothing was fresh and tasted awful. You will get better sushi at Safeway than you will here. Absolutely terrible. read more

A Korean run Japanese restaurant on the West Side of Vancouver. I drive past this restaurant on a weekly basis, but I decided to try this place because I had to take someone to a doctor's appointment which was near this restaurant. The popular spicy salmon sashimi was genuinely spicy and the farmed Atlantic salmon was covered in a spicy Korean style sauce that had a spicy and tangy flavour. The Rainbow Roll had a variety of fish: salmon, tuna, saba (mackerel), and tai (red seabream) with avocado inside. This roll was perfect for those who want to try four different fishes for just one roll. The fish quality was decent, but there was one piece of the roll that had no fish on the top. The Awesome Roll was presented on a black plate. The ingredients consisted of crab meat, cucumber, avocado, mayo, salmon, green onion, masago, bonito and special sauce. Inside the roll, I could not see or taste crab meat, but there was a lot of white rice with a tiny amount of avocado and mayo. If they're going to put so much rice inside the rolls, then they seriously need to put rice in the description. When we finished our meal, we ordered some extras for takeout. The size of the rolls that were ordered for takeout was smaller than the ones that I ate inside the restaurant. The takeout rolls were tiny! All of the rolls that we ordered for takeout were in the category of "Special Rolls". While the Salmon Blossom and Red Rolls tasted okay, though there was way too much deep-fried potatoes and barely any tobiko on the Salmon Blossom roll. The Mangodise Roll would better if they used real pieces of mango and pineapples instead an overly sweet smoothie like blend of mango and pineapples. In addition, the mango and pineapple sauce weren't evenly distributed on the rolls. read more

If you're craving for some rolls, this is the place to go. Waiting is pretty common at this restaurant but it is justified by their tasty menu. Rolls are interesting and unlike authentic Japanese rolls as they have a Korean twist to them. My favourite must-get item from this place is their spicy salmon sashimi, which is cubes of kimchi salmon sashimi. Refreshing to eat, and not spicy enough to kill my taste buds. My favourite special roll is the spider roll. Fried ingredients give it a crispy and unique texture. I was not highly impressed by the mango crab roll. If you're looking for the more typical rolls, go for a combo and it'd definitely be satisfying to eat the California rolls and kappa rolls. read more

For cheap good sushi, this place is excellent. Portions are bit and tasty, and they have a lot of variety. This is definitely the go to sushi place if you're in the area and craving sushi but don't want to pay $$$. The half order of the spicy salmon sashimi was huge. Definitely enough to share for 2-4 people. The rabbit roll (no rice, just wrapped in cucumber), was tastefully presented and delicious. Their Alaska roll comes with this sweat yummy sauce on top (my friend was adamant that this was their best!). Overall, everything was delicious, big portions, and a decent price. Would definitely return! read more

Sushi Mura is a classic, goto sushi place for quick food!! Got here near 1pm and was seated promptly, but dont be surprised if there is a line. Food ordered - cream cheese and smoked salmon roll - double Dragon roll - miso soup - salmon cone The two rolls were really good, nice soft texture, rice was well cooked, almost felt like both rolls melted in my mouth. the miso soup was also good, not too much MSG like some others. The salmon cone was nothing special, but big pieces of sashimi in there. Food is pretty good for the price, place is a little Crampt, service is pretty fast and servers were attentive read more

Sashimi salmon (farmed) and tuna Sashimi went up by too much-in 2022. Beyond its value point. From $12.95 to $17.95. Outrageous. I wont be ordering this anymore. No brown rice available or salmon belly. Used to eat here often, and supported them through the pandemic. read more

Came here for a work lunch on Monday at around 12:30pm. There was no parking spot available in the small plaza, except one or two with 15min restriction. However, street parking was still easy to find around the plaza. No line up but the restaurant was full . There are many options in the menu. My coworker and I enjoyed what we ordered very much. The only area I think it may need to be improved on is customer service during the meal. I noticed that tea was not refilled as often as needed. We had to wave and ask for service and it took a long time for a waitress to come. Overall, it is a decent place with many options to try. read more

The food was on point. I got the chopped spicy Damon roll, green salad and house wine. The wine selection was pretty scarce and they only have white wine, sake and beer by the glass. No hard alcohol and red wine by the bottle only. The food was very fresh, but the service very slow. However they were extremely busy when I went is I'd imagine it's better when it's not so chaotic in there. Recommend it for the fresh food at a decent price but don't go if you're looking for exceptional service or a variety of alcohol pairings. read more

Went for some beef teriyaki and Ton katsu on Monday evening. I was so disappointed, to say the least. For beef teriyaki, a few beef and lots of bean sprout and very the water down teriyaki sauce. At $15.95, it is extreamly over priced. As for the Ton Katsu, the Ton Katsu sauce was bitter and salty like hell. Is Ton Katsu any better? Hell NO. It tasted as though the oil hasn't changed for a while. It was hard to chew as well. At $16.95, we felt as though the owner never eat at his own restaurant. Both of us left very VERY disappointed and still hungry. I had high hope for this restaurant and both of us would ever visit the restaurant again. You should avoid this restaurant to save yourself a big disappointment. read more

Ok, came back here to treat myself to some more great sushi - not much to add to my previous reviews except that the food - AND PRICE - remains awesome! Apologize if the following doesn't belong here (admin, please feel free to delete if not appropriate- but I just have to relay how some customers can act so badly; after COVID, imho, we all need to appreciate our servers better. My better half and I were waiting patiently for our turn (alongside others) and in come marching this elderly couple. She in loud floral pants, oversized golf hat while the nice companion (husband?) just quietly sat at the waiting area. All the staff at Sushi Mura are very polite and soft spoken and this old gal started on them. Why we need to wait so long? Why so slow? Why that table is reserved, we want to sit there etc. And she talked to several servers and even the fellow at the front desk. And then she went to the cashier and placed a take out order and insisted on sitting at an empty "reserved" table. That's when the husband just quietly went out and sat in his car (poor guy!) And when her food came out all neatly packed, she started to unpack it and lay it all on the table! And the servers had to patiently and respectfully tell her that she cannot do this. Oh my God this old lady! Anyway, just wanted to tell the story and hope that some here will try to be nicer to ALL our great servers in Vancouver- theirs is not an easy or high paying job. Again apologize if this is not the proper place to write this. read more

Was in the area and coincidentally me and my partner also spoke about this place, it used to be our go to sushi place but then the service became gradually mediocre. It took us a while to get a server to notice us when we first walked in (restaurant was slightly dead) and it took a while for our server to come to us to order as well. Also, while observing the people who work there, the cooks and servers honestly did not look like they were having it. It seemed as if they're obligated to work there. I do appreciate the refilling service, and our server did a good job refilling our tea when we didn't ask for it. We've ordered 2 special rolls, chicken yaki udon, and an Alaska roll - their infamous special rolls are still top of the charts. Other than that, the food is a 3/5 - can't say there's anything special asides the special rolls. Lastly, I went up to the cashier to pay my bill, I noticed the server was busy doing another transaction so I waited. Once she was done doing her task, she looked at me with a dead face with attitude and didn't even bother to ask me 'what can I do to help you?' or a 'which table did you sit?' I just find the dead stare rude. Just hope the service will improve in the future.. somehow. read more

This place JUST opened (for about a week or two). Their staff service is chaotic right now. They had 2 staffs running around very busily and haven't gotten used to how busy a japanese restaurant can be yet. When we got there, it took a while, but the waiter told us that they're completely full (aka telling us to leave). We asked them if we could stay until a table was opened and it was fine. When a table was open, it took a while for them to wipe it down and call us over because they're so busy doing all these other things. Anyways, when we sat down, they didn't even have time to give us menus, but we already had the take out menu with us. We called one of the waitresses over to take out order. After a bit, the other waiter asked if we wanted menus. It was just uncoordinated between the two servers. The food didn't take long to come. The sushi was delicious for such a cheap price! I've uploaded the take out menu and pictures of the sushi so check it out. Most special rolls are about 6.95, with the even special-er roll for 8.95. The busyness died down at about 8:30 pm and service went smoothly. I would DEFINITELY come back here to eat again. Very delicious and cheap. I think in time, they would realize they either need to hire more staff, or the current staff has to get used to the busyness of the restaurant and prioritize their service to their customers. This place definitely has potential. read more

As Dru C. mentioned, this place basically gives Sushi Garden a run for its money, which is not a bad thing. Another place that comes to mind is Sushi Mania on Main. Parking is available in the lot in front. The interior even feels like the Metropolis location of the Sushi Garden location, with the wood panels. Just like SG, this place is also run by Koreans. To be honest, it almost makes me wonder if the owners are related or something. Even the food items taste similar. The food quality is again, just like SG. It's like they even use the same tangy sauce on their Alaska roll, and also have the salmon the same way on the outside instead of the inside. If I were to do a blind test, I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the 2 restaurants, to be honest. Whenever I want SG but am too far W, this is the place I would go to. Recommended. read more

One of my all time favorite sushi places ever! Their price range is really reasonable for the quality of their sushi. However, be warn the line is long and seats may be tight, but the sushi here is by far the best I've tried! You gotta go with the special rolls though. My favorite and included in the photos are salmon blossom, cloud 9, calamari crunch, and volcano (or something). My all time favorite is the salmon and calamari crunch! Also, their presentation is terrific, and portions are quite generous. Great for groups and individuals even! The special rolls do take awhile to come but they're definitely worth the wait read more

Ok having been here for the second time. I think this place is a hit and miss. The first time was good but probably because all I order is sashimi with salmon sushi, scallop sushi and tuna sushi (fish with rice only). Maybe they are just good at making those. So this time Because I went with my parents, I had to order some cooked food. So had to beef Teriyaki. For $7.95 there are hardly any beef the bottom is basically all bean spout. Also the other sushi or basically sushi like california roll, Dynamic roll and unagi roll are so so. Maybe should have ordered their special roll instead. The spicy salmon is ok. But portion is a bit small. Should have ordered the half order, you actually get a better deal. So I find that this restaurant don't really know how to do business. With lineup so crazy out the door. As a smart way is to limit customer to 2 hours dining max. So I waited for a table over 2 hours. I was told 30 mins into the wait the server pointed at a table of 3 people and said they have finished 2 hours ago and would not leave. I hope you understand, I can't ask them to leave. Place is too small. Well you have to make table turnover quick to make money. Or else you will either end up with a loss or low margin. The place is too small and the restaurant should understand that. You have people leaving because they can't wait for the table any more. You might communicate this to customer at the beginning and this is a pretty common practice at most small restaurants. read more

We usually order rolls (party trays) and over the past couple years the quality has taken a nosedive. It was never amazing, but there really is zero effort put into making their sushi rolls now. They are overly large, way too much bad tasting and old rice, and poorly assembled. The rice is so tightly packed, mushy and not fresh (rice has a dull appearance). California rolls each have just a DOT of avocado. Like 1% of the filling is avocado, no lie :-P Occasional sharp short bones found in sashimi. This used to be good value for Korean made sushi but now I'm sad to say you could get better quality rolls just about anywhere, including T & T Supermarket and yes, even Samurai Sushi on Cambie. This slop is just not enjoyable to eat. To paraphrase a Vietnamese saying, having to eat from Mura is like receiving a punch to the mouth. read more
