Special Rolls menu
Simon P.

Arrived at 3:45pm on a Saturday with my date. I'll get the quick notes out of the way: Nice, lowkey little shop that houses 12 seats MAXIMUM. Waitress at the time was friendly and gave us great service! Interior normal with noticeable wear-and-tear on the walls and tables. Now how does the food fair? Read along.. Ordered the following between me and my date: Dragon Roll - $12.95 8pcs Volcano Roll - $12.75 8pcs Rainbow Roll - $14.75 8pcs Crazy Boy Roll - $9.75 8pcs Salmon Combo - $15.50 12pcs All of the special rolls were delicious and EXCELLENTLY priced. Overall quality was high without sacrificing anything else due to economy inflation which unfortunately a lot of restaurants seem to be pivoting costs onto the customers these past few years. VOLCANO ROLL was honestly *not* that special. Basically was sriracha sauce on xalifornia rolls stacked like a mountain. Dragon Roll, Rainbow Roll, and Crazy Boy Roll were all delicious but was also not that special in the sense that it had any wow factor to them. Despite this, they were filling and did what it was suppose to and I can't give any other positive comments beyond that. The entire menu itself was quite short compared to the average sushi restaurant selections. That was my biggest observation. Overall, food was standard fair. Great quality, everything excellently priced, but average across the board. Everything from the interior decoration, service, atmosphere, and table setting were all average. Neither bad but not amazing either. Just in the middle. Verdict: recommend.

Salmon Combo + Dynamite Roll ($23)
Ange A.

Came here on a whim after reading searching for 'cheap food near skytrain stations' on reddit. For a college student, I thought the prices were alright; though if I were to come back, I'd come by around lunch for the bento menu! I ordered the Salmon Combo and a Dynamite roll which costed me ~$23, and it came super quick! Like some others have mentioned, there aren't much seating spots, and they filled up right before I got here; they are always busy in the kitchen, either packing to go orders or serving in house. The fish was of great quality for its price! Tasted very fresh and was presented in a high end way. Don't expect too much from the interior; it isn't a trendy sushi place, but I'd consider that one of its benefits: it's an unassuming great neighbourhood sushi spot!

Chicken teri donburi, salmon roll, and spicy salmon combo
Carrie M.

We first came here on a Monday evening, and the very small restaurant was full, so we tried again the next rainy evening. We were successful in getting a table this time. The prices were very reasonable. Even though they were really busy, the service was attentive. I could see them packing a lot of takeout orders. I had the chicken teri donburi and salmon roll. The donburi was a warm rice bowl with chicken and teriyaki sauce. I really enjoyed the flavour and the soft chicken. The salmon roll was very small and simple, but I expected this as it was only $4. My friend had the spicy salmon combo, which she thoroughly enjoyed, and it was a nice portion size.

Parking is not anywhere remotely close, be ready to walk. This id a HIDDEN GEN of a sushi spot. It seems like alot of locals grab dinner here as we came on a Wednesday around dinner time and there were easily over 30 take out orders in the hour span we were there. Sashimi portions are gigantic and extremely fresh. Sushi was very very decent for the price. Not a lot of seating indoor so I definitely recommend coming during non peak hours

Been to Sushi Taku for a couple of visits. They're a small, Japanese run neighbourhood sushi spot a few doors down from Classic Chinese Craft Kitchen. The inside is small with 5 tables (fits 15 people). Service is friendly and they came by several times to refill our waters and tea. The menu has a variety of dishes. Bento boxes are only available weekdays (11:30am to 2:30pm). Note: no gluten free soy sauce available and they close for a break between 2:30pm to 3:00pm. Trip #1 - Ebi sunomono ($5.25) - Chicken karage ($7.95) - takes ~10 minutes to prepare but it's worth the wait. Piping hot, crunchy exterior and soft, tender inside. - Beef yaki soba ($12.25) - good portion. - Mango mango roll ($10.50) - sauce added a nice sweetness. - Salmon sashimi ($14.50 for 8) - good portion size, especially for the price. Hard to find cheap salmon sashimi these days. - Negitoro roll ($4.75) - Spicy chopped scallop roll ($5.75) - California roll ($4.50) - standard. Trip #2 - Scallop tataki roll ($11.25) - Negitoro roll ($4.75) - tuna and green onions are oddly not mixed together. Don't love how they're made here. - Oshinko roll ($3.25) - lacked both a crunchy texture and pickled taste. - Deluxe assorted sashimi ($28.95 for 22) - 4 salmon, 4 sockeye salmon, 4 tuna, 3 tako, 3 amaebi, 2 toro and 2 saba. For a "deluxe", would have liked one or two other types of sashimi offered. Best pieces were the saba and toro. I liked the regular salmon (fattier, better bite) over the sockeye salmon. Found the tako watery. - Spicy agedashi tofu ($6.25) - standard. - Sunny roll ($9.95) - Spicy chopped scallop roll ($5.75) Nothing will blow you away at ST but decent value. 3.5 stars.

Small shop with easy parking in front and in the back. Service is super slow (30+min for takeout). They get a lot of phone orders and have limited seating. They ran out of sushi rice by near end of the day. 10/10 Salmon Tataki $10.95 10/10 Pokémon 12.95 10/10 Alaska $9.50 Fish was all fresh and rolls were cheap! (Relative to other places). Was full after but still cannot compare to ayce price. If you are not a bigger eater then this place is worth it for you!

Great neighborhood sushi spot that was very affordable. There was plenty of 2 hour street parking right in front of the restaurant, plus it's right next to the Joyce station so very easy to get to via car or transit. My friend and I came for dinner Tuesday at 6, and there was a short wait of 10-15 minutes. It's a tiny place with just 4 tables, so I can understand why. They do a lot of takeout/delivery, as I saw folks come in constantly to pick up orders. Most of the menu is dedicated to sushi and sashimi, though they have one page with rice and noodle options. They also offer bento boxes for weekday lunches. I hadn't had sushi in a long time, so I was super excited to go ham on the rolls and nigiri. We shared the dragon roll ($11.25), crazy boy ($8.35), and salmon and avocado ($5.50). I also ordered individual nigiri pieces of amaebi, aburi salmon, toro, and chopped scallop. The nigiri was quite affordable and cost somewhere in the $2-3 range per piece. All of the sushi was really good. I love unagi and salmon, so I know I can never go wrong with any rolls with these ingredients. The surprise of the night was the crazy boy roll, which is a deep fried California roll. I haven't had a deep fried roll in years but I loved it here. The roll is dipped in batter and fried, so each piece is hot and has a nice crunch to it. The nigiri was delicious as well. My favorites were the toro and chopped scallop. When it came time to get the check, it was nice to see they split it automatically for us already so we didn't need to ask for split checks. This may not be the most traditional sushi spot, as I believe it's Korean-run and a lot of their rolls have various sauces drizzled on top, but I really enjoyed the food. Plus it was very affordable for sushi... my total for the meal was ~$27! Not bad.

Chicken Teriyaki ($10.75): Yikes!  Was it really chicken?  Yuck! :(
Jack W.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE I'm going to go against the grain of my fellow Yelpers here - perhaps we just got bad takeout? Perhaps a dine-in experience is needed? Either way, I would ask for sauces on the side (less is more) and ahem, avoid the chicken! === 2. FOOD Salmon Sashimi ($13): Eight pieces of salmon sashimi - not eh best value in town, but nicely done! Black Swan Roll ($9.95): So it's a dynamite roll with the avocado on top, constructed with black rice. It tasted the best of the three rolls, but perhaps because it didn't come overwhelmed with extra toppings on top... Taku Roll ($10.50): So it's prawn tempura with imitation crab, cucumber and tuna...with a whole boatload of mysterious crunchy stuff and sauce on top. It would have been fine without that extraneous layer on top...! Volcano Roll ($9.50): A California roll with scallop on top - it would have been good...if they didn't add the layer of tempura bits and sauce all over it. Chicken Teriyaki ($10.75): Was it really chicken? The texture was wrong, and it was like someone took chicken meat, watered down the taste and made it flaky...? The Teri sauce couldn't save this one and we didn't bother eating it - even my toddler (who really only eats chicken) avoided it :( === 3. CONCLUSION I understand the aspect of artistry that could be present in cooking and how everyone has differing tastes. However, IMHO, less is more, and simplicity is elegant - I think I would have appreciated the seafood and rice much more so without the copious toppings and sauce - I could then actually taste the seafood. If I were to go back, it would include requests to leave the toppings aside...and avoidance of the chicken!

Excellent quality sushi spot in an outskirt of vancouver. Fish pieces are large, menu selection is unique, and prices are value focused. I believe the establishment is owned and operated by Koreans, which is very common for japanese restaurants in north america. Service was fast and kind. Would definitely come back again.

Since we have always going to our staple Japanese restaurants we decided to try something new and gave Sushi Taku a shot! The we ordered the toro nigiri, chopped scallop nigiri, Collingwood roll, and taku combo. My favourite of them are the chopped scallop nigiri! They were generous with their chopped scallops and they were big and plump - loved every single bite of it!! I would probably skip the aburi next time that was in the Taku combo. I found the aburi a bit too overcooked and it ended up too dry and tasted more like a piece of cooked fish on top of sushi rice. Overall with the rest of the food we ordered it is a decent place to mark for a quick sushi stop!

Sandra L.

I second another reviewer's comment that Sushi Taku serves the best Japanese in the area. Good prices and quality go hand in hand here, which is so hard to find nowadays anywhere! We ordered two party trays (both same so only one shown), some specialty rolls, a seafood "pizza" and some tempura. All are good. Will come back to dine-in next time ^_^

Chicken Yakisoba, Chopped Scallop Roll, Kappa Roll, Sunny Roll, Mango mango roll, Collingwood roll, Tuna avocado roll
Kay F.

Great place for sushi in the Collingwood area! We ordered the chicken yakisoba and then a variety of rolls - chopped scallop, kappa, sunny roll, mango mango roll, Collingwood roll, tuna avocado roll, and 4 piece salmon and tuna sashimi. Be sure to call ahead of time as we've tried ordering before close to closing time and they ran out of sushi. Overall the sushi had great flavour, in particular their special rolls and wild recommend if in the neighbourhood!

Taku Combo
Lisa W.

Small Japanese restaurant in the Joyce-Collingwood area. They have good portions and everything tasted really good and fresh! My favourite is the Taku combo because of the aburi salmon and tuna nigiri! It is a must get! The California combo was super simple but also delicious. The only thing I would pass on would be the Beef Tataki Roll. I didn't think it was anything special but it was still tasty!

Steep as it is, I decided I wanted a "quick little sushi lunch with a view", and a quick little sushi lunch with a few is exactly what I received. Although I don't recommend it, I walked right in from the street, no reservation, and was seated at the bar (in pretty casual street clothes I may add). I enjoyed a premium sake flight (which was fine...just fine), an old fashioned served with the perfect accompanying dark chocolate, and a good amount of sushi including their signature aburi style sushi in flight form and nigiri tuna flight (bluefin, chutoro, otoro). After visiting Japan last December, I'm a bit of an otoro snob but I have to hand it to them, all three of these cuts were perfect. The accompanying rice, perfection. The quality of the fish, divine. The view was the cherry on top of this experience. This will certainly be a spot I revisit next time I'm in Vancouver.

Michelin starred quality in their service by how they explained the menu, brought out the food, came back around to refill waters. Just top notch service and elegantly so. The food was good but not of value. Their lunch set was a good introductory to what they offer. I enjoyed the food for its flavours and presentation but I thought that it was a bit overpriced. Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful, fresh and definitely elevated, but it was $50 for 10pcs of sushi, 2 appetizer sized samples of their appetizer or entree dishes, and miso soup (which we did not get and didn't realize till much later in the day). If you're wanting an upscale experience (and portion) of good quality food or wanting to impress other parties, then this is a nice spot. For regular eats, it's a bit too luxurious to be a casual thing in my opinion. The ambiance is nice and calm. They have a patio, which has a meh view overlooking the harbor, but beware of a breezy day. It will catch a bit of a wind tunnel. They have heaters and blankets but the heaters don't really reach unless you're sitting next to it.

But in other parts of the world the meal is what's important and so is a quick turn around. Guu with Garlic reminded me a lot of the Izakaya restaurants I found under the train lines of Tokyo in many ways, including the amount of time it felt right to stay. The food came out quick, the servers took orders quicker, and the alcohol came out chilled and as nice contrast to the hot food. Looking around and you see the hand written menu on blackboard surfaces on the walls and this feeling of authenticity. The heat of the flames from the kitchen can be felt and seen if you sit at the bar. And the flavors just hit all the right notes. Starting with appetizers, a section izakayas shine at, the first dish we got was their scallop and mayo pizza. With a crispy crunch on the bottom and crust, this reminds you of the flavors of a baked volcano roll or scallop roll you can find in almost any North American sushi restaurant. Just like that dish, it's important to eat it while it's still hot so it doesn't get gross and 느끼 에. Then came the yellowtail tuna "tempura" pieces. Thick pieces of yellowtail tuna flash fried for just the right crisp on the outside with slight pink of the fish inside. It is meaty without being oily or fatty. Great bite. The beef tongue after was interesting. From the color of the sauce it accompanies it you would think it would be heavy in flavor but it is actually light and citrusy. A good cut into the richer tones of the beef tongue. The yaki udon was one of the best I ever had. It was smokey without being overpowering. The beef was thin and tender and balanced well with the mushrooms it also came with. The udon noodles stayed bouncy and chewy which I didn't expect from being grilled. Very tasty and highly recommend this dish. For our final bite we shared a hot stone bowl of their pork and cabbage rice. With the hot stone bowl constantly cooking even after this dish arrived it was imperative to stir the ingredients together constantly for the first two minutes. It allowed for the runny egg to meld with the rice and the crispy texture of some ingredients was a nice bonus. All in all, I loved eating here and if my appetite was bigger I would've tried more on their menu. A solid place to eat with a great atmosphere, if you're looking for delicious food that won't take too much of your time but still lingers in your memories you have to check out Guu with Garlic.

It was so light and crispy and the chicken was tender and juicy. Saku's katsu was so good that when I think about the katsus I've had is the past at other places I realize now they were just decent katsu. Other highlights here are their house made sesame dressing - so good. They sliced the cabbage salad so thin that in combination with the sesame dressing it was a great combo.

Still comes with a little side of pickles, and unlimited rice, cabbage, and miso soup. No katsu sauce. The katsu was fried to perfection. Juicy, tender, cant complain. But since they serve it in a broth, it does get soggy really quick. Still good, but after a few minutes its just soggy. The broth is nice with rice; comforting kind of meal. The unlimited rice/soup/cabbage is just icing on the cake. My dining partner had the Kake udon (pretty good, noodles good texture and slightly smaller strands than most places) and Menchi Cheese side - basically a pork meatball with cheese and deep fried katsu-style, served with katsu sauce. This was excellent. My original review still stands. Excellent katsu, plus they have the consistency and reliability. $28-30/meal and its plenty of food for 1, especially with unlimited cabbage/rice/soup. Restaurant is nice and comfortable, good spacing and not cramped. Easy recommend. 5/5.

Okeya Kyujiro is a Michelin one-star theatrical omakase restaurant, and when they say theatrical, they mean it! From the moment you're welcomed by smiling ushers in kimono to the closing tea ceremony, every movement feels intentional, precise, and elevated. The ambiance is serene and anticipatory. At the start, guests sit in silence as a black screen conceals the chefs. You see their shadows moving behind it. A bell rings, the screen lifts, and the performance begins. Dinner is a 25+ course experience priced at $325 per person. It's undeniably a splurge, but for a milestone celebration, it feels justified. The menu is seafood-forward, with many ingredients flown in from Japan. Each ingredient is presented before preparation, then carefully assembled and served directly from chef to guest. Courses arrive one by one, never rushed. The service team moves seamlessly in the background, refilling water and attending to drinks (available as an add-on) without disrupting the flow. The finale is a matcha ceremony, whisked in front of you with the same quiet precision that defines the evening. When the final sip is taken, the bell chimes once more, the chefs and staff bow, and the screens close. It was a beautifully choreographed dining experience, perfect for marking a special moment, and one I'd gladly return to for the next celebration.

Service was really amazing with servers explaining each dish and drinks were always topped off…read more Food was good, but maybe this isn't quite my style of omakase compared to the other ones I've tried. This is a more theatrical style so expect louder music and a more theatrical experience (eg one of the servers played the flute for the guests celebrating birthdays). I prefer a more intimidate and interactive style of omakase where you can talk with the chefs. This lunch also felt a little fast in terms of progression of the meal. Some of the dishes were very tasty while others didn't wow us. With drinks, we were quite full despite some reviews saying portion is on the smaller size. Our total was around $500 with drinks for 2 people. A really good experience for omakase, especially if you are looking for a unique experience though not my favourite one I've tried.

Said friends lived in Japan…read morefor over a decade and they've dined here often in the past, saying it's very "authentic" Izakaya and it reminds them of their past life in Japan (which they miss a lot). Me, I know nothing about Izakaya or what is or isn't authentic Japanese cuisine, so this review is coming from someone with zero knowledge or expectation of any specific foods or experiences. Despite it being a weeknight, the place was packed. It was good that we had a reservation. There was a couple in line before me and they were walk-ins, and there were no available seats for them. I noted how small this place was, and crowded, with the tables close together and a long bar with a counter and barstools there (also close together). Our reserved table was right by the front door - literally, - so every time the door opened, we got a gust of cold air (and it was a cold February night when we were there). I kept my coat on. Truth be known, I was not very comfortable. Also, it was loud. Very loud. I like how the staff shout Japanese greetings to diners whenever they enter but between the frequent shouts and the sheer volume of chatter from all the diners, all sitting close together in close proximity, it was kinda hard to hear what my friends were saying during our dinner. That said, the environment was super vibrant and, again, my friends said this was very typical of an Izakaya in Japan. Food-wise, I have no idea what my friends ordered. The menu was primarily available by way of a QR code and I had no idea what the dishes were, so I deferred to my friends' knowledge. But I can attest that all the dishes were DELICIOUS. We had some sort of Japanese street food "pancakes" (they were wonderful). We had some sort of stirfry beef with noodles (amazing). We had two types of sashimi (omg both were so fresh and so so good!). We had a few other dishes that I can't recall, but I remember I loved them. So.... the food here was GREAT. Service was also attentive which I hadn't expected, being as busy as the restaurant was. I really liked this place but I'll probably go back in the summertime when the weather is nicer as I was cold there, and I'd dine at an off-time, when the volume wasn't so loud. (I'm too old for the loudness!).

We started off with cocktails: kaiju en neguroni and peach pafekuto and they were both refreshing. We each ordered a few rolls and my fave is the unagi hand roll. The unagi was flame-torched right in front of me. Prices are on the expensive side with small portions, but everything tasted fresh.

Hello Nori was our last lunch before checking out and heading to the airport, and it was such a…read moresolid way to end the trip. We picked up the 16-piece Premium Cut Rolls (toro, yellowtail, scallop, and truffle lobster), and the quality really showed in the taste. Everything was clean, fresh, and well-balanced -- no heavy sauces, no distractions, just really good fish. The toro was rich and smooth, the scallop was buttery, and the truffle lobster added a nice depth without overpowering the roll. Pickup was quick and seamless, and the food was packaged well for eating on the go before a flight. Portions are standard, but the flavor and quality are absolutely the highlight here. If you care more about how sushi tastes than flashy extras, Hello Nori is a great choice. Would happily come back next time.

Fresh, Beautiful, and Consistently Great! ​I returned to…read moreShizenya after a while, and it reminded me why I love this place. Even on a Thursday night, the restaurant was nearly full, which speaks to its popularity. ​I ordered the Tako Sunomono and the Premium Chirashi Don. ​Tako Sunomono: The octopus was perfectly tender and the vinegar dressing was refreshing--exactly what I needed to wash away the fatigue of the day. ​Premium Chirashi Don: The presentation was stunning and immediately worked up my appetite. Every piece of seafood was incredibly fresh and of high quality. You can really taste the difference here. ​If you're looking for healthy, fresh, and beautifully presented Japanese cuisine, Shizenya is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Children utensils provided which was very much appreciated. Restroom in the back was clean. The food was fresh and delicious. SAKURA BLOSSOM ROLL - brown rice - comes with a lot and delicious UNI TEMAKI (2pc) - my husband and I each had one. very refreshing with the uni and the brown rice. SOCKEYE SALMON SASHIMI- very fresh and thick slices. I had one piece - good. MENTAIKO YAKI UDON - My favorite food item from our entire trip. Omg. I can sit there all day long and just eat this. I always order this when I see it on the menu and some places really don't do a good job. VEGETABLE UDON SOUP - for our toddler
