What a great sushi spot! They're actually Japanese too, which I prefer. Our party of 11 stayed at a big Airbnb nearby after our Alaskan cruise & we were craving sushi. We ordered the bigger party platter, a bunch of tempura shrimp, specialty rolls, all almost $200 & it was Delicious & totally hit the spot! It's a tiny but cozy sushi spot with maybe 4-5 tables at the end of a tiny section of maybe 3 shops, in a residential area. Our order was ready when we got there and I don't know they even were able to make all the food for our order! We're from California and I've never seen a sushi roll with sweet potato in it. It wasn't my favorite but it was interesting and food for vegans, I guess. It was part of the big party platter. The wait staff were super nice and Japanese from their accents, which I prefer getting Japanese food from Japanese shop owners and workers. They threw in complimentary edamame. Would probably be a regular there, if I lived nearby. read more

Decided to go to dinner near our AirBnB and we were not disappointed! When an artist considers his work exceptional he puts his signature on it. Our sushi was definitely signed and autographed. We ordered their volcano roll, Alaska Roll, Collingwood roll and Scallop Tataki roll. Service was great from beginning to end. It was pretty quiet with soft music in the background. Several of the rolls had this toasted yam which decorated and gave the rolls their "signature ". Ingredients were fresh and plentiful in several of them. We also had their seaweed salad which was also good. It was a hole in the wall that was a diamond in the rough. read more

A sweet little sushi spot in the heart of the Joyce Collingwood community. Food is great every time! My favorite is the Pokémon Roll!

We arrived here on a Wednesday evening around 6:30pm and although there are only 4 tables, we were lucky enough to be seated right away. At first glance, it looks like a tiny, old establishment that I normally wouldn't walk into if I were passing by, but the food is very fairly priced, tasty and well portioned. The waitress was very nice as well. I ordered the Volcano Roll ($12.75) and Salmon Tataki Roll ($12.95). My friend ordered the Alaska Roll($11.50) and Appetizer Sashimi ($9.95). We were both very full in the end and barely able to finish our food. The volcano roll was topped with a very generous mountain of torched scallop in the center under all the tempura bits. The Salmon Tataki Roll was torched and sprinkled with delicious crunchy bits on top that made the texture a more enjoyable experience. I would definitely come back to try different items or order from them in the future. read more

We ordered party tray B, large salmon sashimi and the chicken teriyaki don. We called in our order and the food was ready within 15 minutes The party tray B is large for the price of $46.50 for 43 pieces is quite affordable as it was able to feed 6 of us with leftovers. The rolls didn't fall apart and luckily they weren't too sweet. There's a good mix of raw sushi and cooked ones (good for all ages and demographic) I didn't try the chicken don ($12.75) but i heard it was not bad The salmon sashimi ($17.25) for 8 pieces was nice and fatty. Good representative of salmon sashimi in Vancouver. I would go back and get this again for big groups read more

This was a very uncomfortable dining experience. I came here with a party of 3 but 1 of us had eaten already. The server was visibly upset when that person didn't order. She continued to serve us with a frown on her face and aggressively placed our dishes on our table. The tables weren't cleaned properly and were sticky and the washroom wasn't clean either. They have a bento lunch special Monday-Friday between 11:30am-2:30pm (excluding holidays). We got the roll bento, which was only $15.75 and came with a salad, California roll, fruit, chicken teriyaki, tempura and a miso soup. The combo is affordable but very basic. The avocado in the California roll was green with black spots and didn't seem very fresh. read more

We stumbled onto this place in a quiet part of town after we visited the PNE. It's a small restaurant with just 4 tables. We were lucky to get a table and ordered a few rolls. They were super busy with takeout orders and out second round of orders took a while but still arrived fresh and yummy. The sashimi are thick and fresh, the rolls are creative and delicious. read more

Good service! The staff was sweet and the food came out fast! There's not much seating but it makes for a cozy atmosphere in my opinion! Prices were pretty good, definitely worth the portions. We got 4 rolls, all 4 I would order again! My personal favourite was the crazy boy roll. read more

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. read more

The sushi is very delicious and fresh. The staffs very friendly and polite. The amazing part is their house make spicy sauce, we always ask for extra. Highly recommend to try. One thing have to mention is they usually take out, cause their restaurant only had couple table. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

Sushi Taku - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I have frequented Sushi Taku a few times now since my family lives close by and with the rising cost of food everywhere, the value is of their lunch bentos, rolls and combos keeps us returning for more. Tucked away from the busy traffic around Joyce Station, we ordered Party Tray B and the Taku Combo for lunch today. For only around $40, the tray was a great deal with a good variety of rolls including california, dynamite, yam, chopped scallop and two special rolls too! The rolls are not massive but there is a good amount of filling. I found that their rice could have used a bit more flavouring but I liked how it wasnt packed or mushy at all. The taku combo was also delicious with four pieces of seared nigiri and 6 pieces of sashimi. The sashimi was cut a bit thin but it was fresh and tasty! Overall, great prices for sushi in an area that doesnt have much competition. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

This sushi restaurant is closed by my place. It is running by Korean. They are quite efficient and fast paced. They take many orders and chefs can prepare food for customers quickly. The menu includes a lot of options. I personally like to order their udon, sashimi, party trays, chicken kaarage, and some small rolls. The quality is average and if we are not too picky, the food is good enough. Pricing is reasonable and I feel it's more affordable comparing to other sushi restaurants. The restaurant doesn't have a parking lot. I usually park at the residential area and walk to the restaurant. I would hope that this restaurant would add Oshi sushi or aburi sushi to the menu! read more

=== 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! read more

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. read more

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 ^_^ read more

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! read more

Great prices and great food. The portions are somewhat smaller but for this price is understandable.

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! read more

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.

Even though Sushi Taku has been around since 2016, it was only recently that my husband and I decided to give the place a try, and we are glad we did! We first went about a month or so ago, and have since ordered from them a few times. The restaurant is quite small, with only a handful of tables (it's more of a takeout place), and on our first visit we ate in, but we prefer to order our food for takeout. We have tried a variety of items, and with the exception of the volcano roll, I've enjoyed all the items I've tried. Some favourites are the bacon and cream cheese roll, Philadelphia roll, beef roll, and veggie gyoza. Good food, great service, and reasonable prices -- I'm a fan! One thing I don't like it their use of styrofoam containers -- so much waste! But I'm hoping that will stop with the new ban on styrofoam food containers that went into effect this year. read more

Sushi Taku is a small casual sushi joint located near Joyce station with some paid and free street parking along the street. It was near work, so I got some takeout one time after work and I was so pleasantly impressed that I came back for more! Not a crazy fancy selection, but fresh ingredients and a diversity of flavors. The rolls have their own unique profiles and aren't overly saucy. This time I ordered their Chirashi Don, very reasonably priced for the amount of sashimi we got. Their tataki rolls are also nicely done, although this time the salmon tataki roll had some pieces with a bit too much salt. I love the smokey char flavor from the torching though. We also got the spider roll, this was by far one of the best ones I've ever had. The crab was fresh, lightly deep fried, not oily feeling at all! So crispy and perfect rice to cucumber to crab ratio. Finally, we finished our meal with a couple of their aburi nigiri (not actually a huge selection, but just enough to satisfy my needs). Got the salmon and tuna aburi. Nicely torched and just the right amount of sauce and rice, the pieces of fish melt in your mouth and everything mingles nicely together. Fast and friendly service, this is definitely one of my new favorite sushi places to drop by after a long day at work! read more

You might ask why I'd rate this place 4 stars - mediocre establishment, mediocre prices, mediocre food EXCEPT for the toro sushi, which I think is GREAT quality for the price. I highly recommend grabbing takeout from this spot if you're looking for a cheap sushi night in. Probably a better selection than the sushi garden/mura/cali's around the area. [Items Tried] *MUST TRY* Toro Sushi (4/5) - $2 Taste: Quite fresh & fatty & melts in your mouth for $2/piece. Salmon Sashimi (3/5) - 10.95 Taste: Fresh, average sized pieces of salmon - not the best I've ever had, but decent for the price. Negitoro Roll (4/5) - $3.75 Taste: I liked this roll - good flavours, freshness, and large portion of fish. Would order again. Chopped Scallop Roll (3/5) - $4.25 Taste: Standard chopped scallop roll & similar to normal Korean establishments in the way they make this. [Value for Money] For the price tag, this spot is definitely worth checking out when you're looking for a low maintenance takeout meal. read more

Such a great little sushi place in Collingwood! Just had my first visit to Taku and it was so good! All the sushi was so fresh and the service was nice and attentive! I highly recommend the salmon aburi nigiri! It was like the perfect bite. The flavours were so good and the salmon almost melted in my mouth. I just wish I ordered more pieces. The other 2 rolls I got were the negitoro and the spicy chopped scallop roll. I also recommend those 2 as well! The spicy chopped scallop roll was on the saucier said though so if you're not a sauce person it might not be your thing. Service was quick and they brought our orders out to us when they were ready. Keep in mind they are only doing take out at the moment! If I'm in the area again I will definitely pay them a visit again! Prices were also very reasonable! read more

I was here last saturday for a sushi fix. Good thing Yelp showed me Sushi Taku! I noticed how small the restaurant it is as I walked in, and as another yelper mentioned take out is recommended here. Rolls were nicely made and it was delicious. I ordered Sunny Roll ($8.95), Chopped Scallop Roll ($4.25) and Miso soup ($1.25), and Sunny Roll was pretty good. It was crunchy, sweet and delicious. Sushi Taku is Korean owned Japanese restaurant, however it's a great place for delicious sushi. read more

I give this place 5 stars because they know how to treat and value their customers and are very friendly and good to us. The sushi is always fresh.

We chose the sushi last minute based on the reviews. Good decision, food was great as well as the service. We had chicken teriyaki, miso soup, cucumber roll, and yam roll. Very reasonably priced. The only drawback would be limited seating, but it would be worth the wait. read more

I am going to update my review from a 3 to a 4 star. I wish there was a 4.5 star rating because that's what I would really like to do.

This sushi place just opened up late last summer and it is probably one of the best sushi joint around Joyce Station. If you are a BC Roll fan, do try their version here. Instead of the usual BBQ salmon skin, at Taku there are more salmon in this slightly battered (not bbq) and deep fried version, atop with teriyaki sauce. It is really delicious and definitely not conventional. The gyoza is also a repeat items for me. It is pan-friend and quite delish. I also really enjoy their seaweed salad. For those who prefers non-farmed salmon, do advise the server as once I ordered a Chirashi-don and it came with farmed salmon. That is probably the only thing but otherwise, a good place and great customer service. read more

I usually go to Kimu down the street. Decided to try here because of the great reviews. We walked in and there's no dine in only take out. Ordered tray C, chicken yaki soba and a seaweed salad. First bite of salmon....warm and tasteless. No seasoning in the rice. Overall pretty average. My daughter compared the sushi and yaki soba to food fair food/T & T sushi, she actually prefers T & T salmon than here. Nothing special and nothing worth going back to for. The seaweed salad was extremely tiny as it only filled 1/2 of the very small container. To top it off it tasted fishy. Not impressed. In my opinion Kimu is far superior in quality and taste. I'm disappointed that the reviews are not accurate. read more

I've been here before covid but decided to try again during covid to support small businesses in my area. I'm so glad I decided to give it another shot.

My absolute favorite is the sushi taku roll and their sockeye salmon is always fresh! They also have excellent bento boxes too!
