Extensive menu! Everything was outstanding and the servings were generous. The tempura and karage oil was fresh. The waiter was super friendly and patient with our questions. We are happy campers. read more

Very fresh sushi!! Cooked dishes were also delicious. If in the area highly recommended.

I visited this place on the strength of the review by Tammy E. but unfortunately I think either the chef has changed or ownership has, or the review is simply false (wrong location?) because despite rave reviews for special desserts like "coconut surprise", the only dessert on offer was a Green Tea ice cream. I visited on a weekday - I believe it was Thursday - I'm not sure if they had a different chef at the tim. Featured Items: Tempura Starter 3/5 Triple Salmon 3/5 White Sea Roll 4/5 The Tempura Starter was OK - Can't go wrong with Tempura Shrimp, but the rest of the vegetable tempura didn't taste particularly special. Triple Salmon - This was particularly disappointing. There's nothing wrong with the freshness, but there's no outstanding taste from it either. Neither the "Grilled Salmon" not the "Smoked Salmon" had any outstanding flavor to it - I felt like I could get more taste from off-the-shelf Smoked salmon at a supermarket. White Sea Roll - This was a better item, but overall it had the same issue with the Triple Salmon as not having much flavor, apart from the real crab added. It felt like the wrong combination of toppings were added to give it a good taste. At the end, I was hoping for something remarkable like Tammy E. mentioned for dessert like "Coconut Surprise", but really there was nothing except Green Tea Ice Cream. Given the current state, I would say it's best to avoid this location until the quality of the food improves. read more

We were grabbing groceries on the way to Whistler and decided to stop for some lunch. We decided on Sushi Sen because of the reviews. Inside is nice. Pretty minimalistic decor but the traditional outfits on the wall made a statement. Staff was a bit unattentive but also busy. We decided on a few rolls to share - Black Dragon, Starcraft Roll, Tuna Karagge Roll and the Ika Shisho Roll. Some hits and some misses. First with the hits. The Starcraft roll was amazing. Beautifully presented, lots of contrasts with colours. The deep fried seaweed rice paired well with creampy chopped scallow and tuna. This was our favourite. The other one that left an impression was the Ika Shisho Roll. The perilla leave provided a zip to the squid. The black dragon roll was fine but not outstanish. The Spicy Tuna Karagge Roll was not good at all. We only ate one each, and normally we finish everythign. The tuna was overcooked and dried out to heck. It tasted like sawdust in our mouth. Anything else in there was overshadowed by the horrible fish. Don't order this one. I would go back again but stick with the raw stuff. In general, a pretty decent place if you are craving sushi read more

*Update* Came back to ski Whistler this year and had to come here on back to back nights. There was so much more of the menu we had to try! Both nights we left completely satiated - the food was consistently top notch along with the service. Highlights from this trip included two new desserts (the hazelnut pear and rose petal ice cream with rose/sake), spicy yellowtail roll, chef's choice urchin (uni)/squid, BBQ hamachi kama (yellowtail cheek), and sitting at the sushi bar across from the amazing sushi chef and owner. What an honor! I don't know why this isn't THE most talked about restaurant in town or really even into Whistler because it was out of this world amazing! After talking to the server I learned that the owners, the chef, and most of the cooking staff here are from Japan. This was apparent in the varied unique dishes on the menu. Actually what drew me to this restaurant were the menu pages people had posted in the photos section here. I was immediately intrigued and had to find out in person if it was for real or just fantasy! Every dish we ordered was prepared with an artfulness and care. Water glasses were never empty, all of the staff were friendly, helpful, and seemed to enjoy being there even though it was Valentine's Day and they may have wanted to be elsewhere. Other reviewers have neutrally commented on the sushi here - we ordered one sushi item (raw scallop sushi roll) and it was fresh, uniquely prepared, and delicious so I'm happy to give it my commendation. I would however encourage people to try one of their many other dishes while here. I have been able to find decent sushi in locales around the world, but Japanese delicacies are difficult to find this side of the Pacific! I highly recommend the dobinmushi (teapot soup), renkon isobe (shrimp sandwiched lotus root deep fried and sliced), and the coconut surprise specialty dessert. You will not be disappointed! What a treat to stumble upon this place in the small town of Squamish! This place is truly a gem. read more

I am a huge fan of sushi-- love love love my California and shrimp tempura roll with an appetizer of gyoza and edamame... mm YUM. My husband and I wanted to grab a quick snack before heading back to the house and popped in for a roll or two depending on pricing. We were pleasantly surprised to find that Sushi Sen had competitively low prices, and since it's in CAD it would be even cheaper with the conversion! A shrimp tempura roll was around $6 and a California roll with REAL crab (not the typical artificial) was around $5. Now-- did these cheap eats taste good? YES. I was skeptical as the shrimp tempura roll had asparagus in it... and for those who know me, I HATE veggies. Somehow I couldn't taste it at all and just felt like it added an extra crunch similar to what the cucumber would have been. The California roll with the real crab was a bit salty and there's actually a strangely large amount of mayo that wasn't my favorite but overall it was pretty tasty. A weee bit disappointed with the service as we only saw our server once and had asked for water that we never got but overall pretty good and well priced. read more

After a day of river rafting, we were craving some sushi. With limited options in Squamish, this was the only one nearby with the best reviews. The service was a bit slow to start. We chose to sat outside since it was a nice day but I think they kept forgetting about us. It took a while for the server to even get our order and give us water. Another customer next to us was frustrated as well. Other than that, the food was great for such an affordable price! At $10 for each specialty roll, we got the triple salmon roll, rainbow roll, red hot dynamite roll, and dancing eel roll. The dancing eel was our favorite and I didn't care too much for the triple salmon roll but they were all still really fresh and tasty. You really can't beat the price here and it will definitely satisfy your sushi fix. read more

Always a go to when we come visit Squamish. There's usually a wait but it's well worth it. Since we're from the US, the prices are quite reasonable for the quality and quantity. They've got a little patio area as well as a bar and dining area. They recently changed their menu but still have an extensive list ranging from bentos, nigiri, sushi combos, rolls, appetizers, etc. They also serve wine, sake, and beer. We usually get an assortment of rolls (they also have hand rolls), chicken karaage, and agedashi tofu. They have a lot but there is also plenty of street parking around. Overall always a pleasant experience here and it's one of our go to spots after climbing all day! read more

We stopped on our way back from Squamish and Whistler. I had one of the best dragon rolls.

So glad I visited this restaurant during my trip! The food was amazing and very affordable (even more so with the favorably Canadian dollar to US dollar exchange rates). Loved everything I had here: 1. agedashi tofu, soft tofu with a crispy shell, and nice tipping sauce 2. 7 pieces of nigiri were all fresh and delicious. Too bad they had run out of uni by the time I arrived. A couple of the fish came with the option to torch/sear the fish, in my opinion, that was not needed, the fish would have been pretty nice just by itself. 3. spicy ramen. Delicious broth, need a little more salt, but the noodles had a good texture, spinach, corn and bamboo toppings were nice. It would have been $1 extra to add an egg, but since I've been overdosing on eggs in my trip (easy protein to pack for long hiking days) I skipped it. Service was great and appreciate the little pack of Pocky that they give you at the end of your meal. read more

Neat sushi spot found slightly off the beaten path in Squamish after a day at whistler. There's a surprisingly good amount of seating here and yet the place was still bustling with people. Luckily we were seated right away though I had to drive around the block a few times to find a place to park -spots are sparse since so many places share the lot. For food, we ordered the miso ramen and a few rolls and though it took some time for it to come out, we enjoyed our meal. I appreciated the spicy tuna wasn't butchered and a quality grade of fish, that fried items were perfectly crispy, and that the rolls had just the right amount of rice to filling ratio. Yum. Ramen was good as well though the broth didn't have as much depth of flavor - they were also out of the spicy soup base that day, but we were still satisfied with our meals, service was super friendly, quality ingredients were used, and no food coma ensued which is a plus for the remaining drive back to Van. And to top it off, a small packet of pocky came with the bill as dessert. So glad we found this place. Will definitely be back! read more

This place is the hallmark of Japanese food in Squamish. They have been in town for years and have produced a tidal wave of interest and appreciation for this cuisine. Still the best and traveller's make this a regular oasis. To many more years. Thanks. Murray from Brackendale read more

Woah. Well...that was unexpected! Sushi Sen has some pretty fantastic food. I would not have expected the flavours to be quite this Japanese-y and fresh this far inland in Squamish! What is goooood: - The nigiri sushi! Seriously, everything we tried was so fresh and delicious. The hamachi toro was especially tasty. - I loved the fried lotus root with ebi and shiso leaves. - We had some katsuo carpaccio served in a ponzu dressing. Om nom nom... This is the kind of place where the fish is so tasty, it'd be a shame to order Canadain-style crazy maki rolls. Order the more traditional Japanese dishes to get the most out of the yummy flavours. What is less good: - If I'm totally honest, I was less impressed by some of the Izakaya staples. The karaage (fried chicken) and agedashi tofu were not particularly amazing. They're not bad, just not as perfect as the other things we tried. read more

I'll have to say Sushi Sen is amazeballs. My friend recommended this place for our post hike(from Chief) meals and she was so right on this. They're authentic Japanese restaurant with great price and huge portion. So I came with two friends and my friend got Sashimi Salad with Beef Box, another buddy got Sashimi Box ($17.00) and Tuna Karaage($7.95). As for me I got Sashimi Box and fell in love with it. I love their fast service and loved my food too. I'm impressed how my box came with Tai Sashimi along with salmon and tuna, and the tempuras came with green beans, prawns, sweet potato and yam. I'm glad they didn't put carrot tempura since I don't like carrots. My dearly bestie couldn't even eat Sashimi Salad and she was already full from Teriyaki Box($11.50 with beef). Man this place is seriously good. The server got our receipt mixed up after getting out bills. Later she got our receipts fixed and my buddy previously mentioned about free Pocky sticks. Yay, I left this resto feeling happy with free Pocky. I wish there's Sushi Sen near my house. Hopefully they open another one in Vancouver someday. Better if it was close to my house so I go there everyday. read more

Polite service but incredibly slow and not much accountability from the staff in terms of explaining why. They did a good job of identifying if the tempura and rolls had eggs or mayo respectfully. The food was "good" according to the kids. Not worth the wait, and the basic rolls (salmon and Kappa Maki) were as expected. I tried the Salmon and Ikura Don and upgraded to the Imperial Rice (which was a combination of brown and black rice) for an extra $1.50. It was heavy on the rice, and a little light on the ikura, shittake mushroom, and avocado. We also tried the Blue Fin cone special, spicy Mango roll, and a couple of special appetizers. Again, food quality was about average. We will not be back based on the speed of service. Over 30 minute wait average sushi, not worth it. The kids were not happy and noticeably hungry - and the staff never addressed that or apologized for the long wait. read more

This is my favourite go to Sushi restaurant when heading up to Whistler. Always great for their sushi and specialty dishes, made even better now, especially for chilly winter nights, is the addition of Ramen! Finally! There's not a whole lot of choice, regular or spicy, so of course I went spicy with salted egg. The noodles were perfectly al dented and the soup was tasty and no added fat! Don't need the extra calories no matter how cold it is! read more

Not a wonderful experience. Took our friend who had never had sushi before and as someone who has it regularly, this was possibly one of the worst experiences I've had. The fish didn't taste very fresh, the tuna we got lightly seared was severely over cooked, the rolls we took a gamble on as they sounded delicious with mango were disappointing, as canned fruit seemed to be used and for a nearly $20 roll is unacceptable. Lastly, all of the rolls we ordered fell apart as we were attempting to pick them up. The staff wasn't very attentive and when we brought this to their attention they made it seem as if we were putting them out and it was our mistake. It was a struggle for a bill over $100 to get them to even discount a portion of the nearly inedible food. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Service is good, food is mediocre at best. Now that taka ramen and sushi has taken off, i no longer need to come here to eat Japanese food. I've seen the owner make the servers cry, not okay. This place has gone downhill since change of owners. Please don't bother copy and pasting about reaching out to your management team. Fix your restaurant and have more respect for your team. read more

Good sushi, bar service is relatively quick and painless. I was starving after a day of climbing so I came here to chow down. Prices were good, flavors were pretty legit, food was fresh, and they had a decent variety to choose from. I will be back next time I'm in the neighborhood! Thanks! read more

skip the special rolls and go straight to the nigiri and sashimi! The torched nigiri trio was soooooooo good and the sauces they came with really complimented each piece. As for appetizers the misoyaki black cod aint quite nobu but it's great especially when you get double the amount for 1/3 the price. read more

Holy, you would think this is Miku based on the reviews. It's good. Really big portions...is this why it's so popular? We enjoyed it and would return but I wasn't blown away like some reviewers were. I would prob give it a 3.5 star comparing to some of the awesome sushi places in the lower mainland. Are the crazy reviews because it is in Squamish? read more

Decent sushi at a good price. My friends and I stopped here after going to Whistler. I ordered the Sushi box which came with Nigiri, some rolls, Tempura and salad. The Nigiri had nice fresh tasting fish, but not much Wasabi flabor. The rolls they let me change out the california rolls for spicy tuna for a small fee. The spicy tuna was standard (IE grinded up tuna with a hint of hot sauce). The tempura was nicely done and crispy. Worth coming by if you are in the mood for sushi and are in the area. read more

This place has amazing food! And you can't beat the value - prices here are crazy cheap. The assorted sashimi plate was my favorite. Every piece of sashimi tasted so fresh, not the least bit fishy. The texture was perfect - you could feel that the fish was sliced with thought and care. I was especially impressed by the octopus - at some places octopus sashimi could taste a bit rubbery and bland, but here it was sweet and tender! We also ordered the beef tataki (each bite was bursting with flavor), the black dragon roll (seasoned really well), the lobster roll (generous chunks of lobster and loved the presentation), and the calamari (fried to a golden crisp but not too heavy)...everything was so yummy! On top of the above essentials, lots of small touches make the experience extra wonderful. Every dish is artfully presented. The service is exceedingly friendly and attentive. The decor is beautiful. The entire place basically just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Bonus: when bringing your bill they give you a mini packet of Pocky. Perfect ending to a fantastic meal! read more

After hiking in the Squamish area, we decided to order some take-out for the car ride home back to Vancouver. Yes, multi-tasking with take-out sushi in the car!! Everything we ordered was really fresh, tasty and well-presented (even in take-out containers). They also give you a butt-load of wasabi which is a nice change from the small dab most places typically provide. We ordered the Sashimi salad ($8.95), Ebi sunomono ($3.95), Black Dragon roll ($8.75) and the Spicy Tuna roll ($3.95). The sashimi salad really stood out for me because it was loaded with fresh sashimi (salmon and tuna) and even chunks of LOBSTER! My only complaint was that they could've toned down the saltiness of the dressing. Great little spot but it looks like it gets pretty busy on weekends. We stopped here at 5:30pm on a Sunday to pick-up our order and it was CRAZY busy already on the inside. Need to also mention the friendly service over the phone! read more

I ordered tuna rice bowl. Raw tuna was good but rice was awful. It wasnot cooked well and super hard. Also it was too sweet ( they might put too much sugar). It was super disappointed. They used to much better quality. I'll go another restaurant next time. read more

So on Friday, I ordered $60 worth of sushi. One of the rolls being an 18$ roll. I expected it to be $18 worth. When I received my order, they substituted so many things in my sushi without letting me know. I ended up paying $18 for a roll that had the exact same ingredients as a $7 roll because they didn't have the integrity to let a paying customer know they ran out of ingredients. I'd like to add that this is the second time this has happened. The first time I let it slip. This is the last time I will be ordering from there. read more

This is simply the best sushi restaurant in Squamish. Their sushi is very authentic (made by Japanese chefs not Chinese or Korean...not dissing Chinese nor Korean sushi chefs), which shows in the style and presentation. The taste is always very fresh which is a result of high quality fish and perfect sushi rice. Most combos and bento boxes are about $10 which is very good value for what one gets. The restaurant is always packed during lunch, so be patient to wait. However, their service is quick and efficient. There is only a few parking spaces in front, so be prepared to park and walk about a block or two. They will open their patio in the summer which is a nice experience if you enjoy sushi under the sun. read more

OMG Delicious, Cheap and Wonderful service! Stayed in Squamish for a week to ski at Whistler. We were skeptical about the selection of food we would have, but we were extremely surprised. We ordered from Sushi Sen 2x during our stay. Super fresh ingredients, huge sizes, crazy cheap prices, and so freaking delicious! Lovely staff too. Best value sushi I've had hands down than any where else I've experienced in the States. No wonder why residents of Vancouver trek out to Squamish for sushi. read more

Well - we came here cause my fellow Yelpers told me too. But I was let down! It was super busy on a Sunday night - a good sign right? We probably waited for about 30mins to finally get a seat. I must say, the atmosphere inside is pretty nice. Server finally showed up and was truly pretty helpful. I really like how they have a "fresh" and chef's choice menu items. Food finally came and that's where I was disappointed. Sushi was EXTREMELY average! Rice was surprisingly flavorless. I had a spicy combo - never seen Arugula in a roll before???? Not really good! My wife and I had our dinners on the table and we waited and waited and waited for the kids meals to come. We finally had to ask 2 different servers to look into it got us - the kids just ordered rice, miso, and prawn tempura. Probably should have been the easiest one of the dinner. The final reason for the lack luster rating was when we finished. Our server looked over from another table and got a bus girl to clean it. I felt sorry for this poor girl cause she was busting her ass 10x more than our waitress was. Took her about 5 mins to take an order from a table of 3 - yikes! I think one reviewer said people come from Vancouver for this sushi! Huh - I can't believe that. If that's true, those "people in Vancouver" must buy their sushi from Safeway or something.
