This place is located in the heart of New Westminster. It's right behind a busy stop. Once we got in, the place is clean and spacious. We ordered some rolls and sashimi to share. The niche of this place is they used different color of rice, it's slightly pink but tastes just as the normal sushi rice. Apparently it's mixed with different kind of vinegar when mixing the rice. The sashimis are super fresh, salmon toro and tuna toro are both delicious. The shrimp tempura was freshly cooked, very crunchy. Salmon Oshi was nicely seared on the top. If I have to pick, the salmon toro sashimi was my favorite. The service was standard and friendly. They informed us about the last calls, and wasn't rushing us out when it was time to close. The price is reasonable and affordable. Overall, I've had a great experience with this place. when I'm around this area, I will come back and visit again. read more

I've gotten takeout sushi from this place a couple of times. This was my first time dining in the restaurant. Didn't order much or anything fancy. My meal was simple but still got to try new stuff that I hadn't tried before. I went Vegan for this meal. Ordered a Kanpyo roll, one piece of Avocado Nigiri, one piece of Asparagus Nigiri, and a miso soup. My friend ordered a Nigiri Sushi Lunch Box special. Kanpyo roll and Asparagus Nigiri were both new to me. Don't see either of them on restaurant menus much, if ever. I enjoyed them both and while I have always enjoyed the taste of tuna or salmon sushi (and all the other raw fishes that are served in Japanese restaurants), I really didn't miss the fish at all. Very much enjoyed my meal here, and so happy to see these Vegan options on the menu! read more

Sushi Well - Very oil tempura - Sushi Bars Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

WELL let's see... If my memory recalls, I first went to the old location a decade ago and visited this new location when it was first opened not long ago. I decided to give this place a revisit since mama here was kinder than the food I tried. This new location is located on 6th Ave and 6th Street in New Westminster. There are both free and paid street parkings through the surrounding streets and area. Inside the restaurant is freshly renovated; dining area at the front with sushi bar and kitchen to the back. Its a bit smaller then the old location but still okay size and comfortable. Here were the food I ordered this time around; 1. Tuna toro sashimi. The portions were generous, the taste was buttery and fresh. 2. Salmon sashimi (1/2 order). Pretty fresh and tasty (I personally preferred the Atlantic salmon more than the sockey) 3. Prawn tempura. Nice light crisp batter, the prawns were of good size and it was deliciously hot. 4. Oyster motoyaki. It had its own recipe take on it, but the oysters were little midgets and the sauce didn't do it for me although mama there was quite enthusiastic about it. I personally just wanted one nice fresh juicy oyster motoyaki on its shell lmao. 5. Salmon, tuna, red tuna, tamago, ikura nigiris. They were okay and pretty basic although they use their special sushi rice. 6. Spider roll. It was okay, pretty standard. I think i preferred the one at Sushi California more. Overall, the atmosphere was pretty casual, the service was decent and the food was okay. It does get a bit crowded and the noise level goes up a notch during peak hours because of its smaller space but it's still quite comfortable in terms of spacing. The service was okay and the staffs were quite friendly. WELL let's see... As for the food, they were pretty basic and standard although they do have their own patent recipe for the sushi rice. Which on another note is a big deal cause good sushi is all about the quality of the sushi rice. read more

I absolutely love this sushi restaurant! It is my favourite! I enjoy eating salmon and the salmon they serve here is very fresh and it tastes amazing. There is a very large variety in rolls and each one tastes amazing. The location is clean, with lots of seating and the washrooms are clean as well. The service is phenomenal, 10/10. Each time I've been here I have had the same server and she is very very good. I will definitely be back!! read more

This is one of our local regular places we go to in rotation. My husband and I have probably been here at least 10 times and we are always impressed by how consistent the place is with always having a great meal, great service, and a nice time. This place is family owned and operated and they take great pride in not only their restaurant but their patented pink rice that is healthy. The staff is always friendly and prompt even when the place is busy. Between my husband and I, we've tried most sushi on the menu. Some of our favorites are crazy girl and crazy boy, mango smoked roll, tiger prawn and maple roll. Their miso soup here is literally the best as well as their goma-ae and chicken karaage. We've also had their bento boxes a few time, they are delicious and definitely able to feed two people! Definitely give this place a try, it's a local gem! read more

Sushi Well Japanese Ambience: Casual/modern/clean Parking: Street Meter Food: Excellent Service: Exceptional Costs: Good value When majority of the reviews are of the same possitivity, it only means they are consistently good and deserves to recognized! Inconsistency just doesn't work for me. My sanity, time and money are just too valuable for businesses that constantly needs justifications, having to right the wrongs, etc. Afterall, we eat out because we want to enjoy! So why not do it right the first time? This place understands that! Service: We came 1/2 hr b4 closing. Greeted warmly by the server with warmed hand towels (usually done but rarely now in upscaled chinese banquets). I told the server that I'm not a fish person and my partner so I'm just gonna regretfully order bento box instead of the high end items. She said it's fine and even recommended things she felt I might like. The servers and owner proactively attended to us with smiles through the entire meal. Food: I've seen photos of their food prior to coming but they don't do them justice! The bentos were lavishly presented! Everything in the boxes were so fresh and delicious! Especially the beef teriyaki was so tender that I had to ask what cut of beef. The owner told me it's sirloin. I was expecting the skewers of shrimp to be overcooked, but it was just right and so were the tempuras. Loved croquettes which are rarely included in bentos. The sashimis my partner told me were not skimpy. We also liked that they didn't pile on the rice to make food appear "big" instead, lots of fillings! We also loved the spicy tuna roll. I was told me that the spicy sauce is homemade. Yeah, we can't help but kept comparing all aspects to other restaurants of alike that are more expensive but lower in quality. Just because it was the end of the day, the tired servers were still diligent; the food were still fresh and tasty. The lemon slices in the water, warm hand towels add a nice touch. IMO, they don't cost a lot but small gestures like these speaks huge about a business's integrity and value for customers. I told Jenny that IMO why some restaurants fail soon or later but I can feel that Sushi Well isn't gonna be one of them! read more

Oh Pink vinegar!! Aside its health benefits, what I love about this place is the fresh ingredients, the rice is cooked right, and the amount of rice they put in Nigiri sushi is just right. Not too much and less. And the amount of vinegar on the rice, it just nice to make it yummy and sticky at the same time. I ordered special course A, goma-ae and yakitori and shared with my husband. Special course A is perfect to share for those who have small stomachs. Goma-ae was just DELICIOUS - black sesame sauce was amazing!! For black sesame lovers, here is the place to go for black sesame sauce goma-ae!! Definitely going back to try other dishes! read more

Years ago I used to come to Sushi Well's old location near Columbia SkyTrain station which closed awhile ago. Since then, they reopened at a new location near Royal Center in New Westso i decided to check it out with a friend. We came around 7pm on a Friday night. It was packed. At the time, all tables were occupied and there were lots of patrons waiting for their take-out orders. Even so, we waited a mere 5 minutes to get a table. The only real negative I have to say is that Sushi Well has nice staff but needs improvement when the place is very busy. I took 10-15 minutes just to try to get our orders in which is unreasonable. It was hard to get the wait staff's attention because they were so busy. The waitress realized this and apologized profusely about the wait, though. Also, I had to ask several times for extra plates (for sharing) because the staff kept forgetting about it. Hopefully they train their staff to be more organized during peak times so they won't forget about tables therefore making customers wait longer than usual for service. However, the service got better as the busyness died down a bit because they were attentive in refilling our tea and checking up on us (which i always appreciate!) As for the decor, they have a dark wood motif with dark table dividers, chairs, and wooden floor panels. I like how they attempted to make it look nice with ornaments placed near the window. They stuck tree branches in a large standing vase and on the windows which gave a little bit of a more natural setting to complete the look. The faux fireplace on the wall gave it a homey vibe. Washrooms are clean with a bit of graffiti written on the wall. But for most of the part, they're tidy. Ambience-wise, the place gets pretty loud when there's a ton of people inside at the time. Otherwise it's not that loud. They play slow relaxing jazzy music in the background at a reasonable volume. Price-wise, I found most of their menu has fair prices compared to other Japanese restaurants. Their "special" sushi rolls range from $10-15 and the portions are big enough to be shareable. I decided to try most of their sushi dishes because I was craving some great tasting sushi. After a few minutes of looking at the menu, my friend and I both ordered their "special course A" ($24) which includes an assortment of sushi, dessert tempura, sashimi, udon soup, nigiri, karaage, and salad. In addition, we ordered the "angry jalapenos" appetizer, okonomi special sushi roll, and the Sushi well house roll to share. Their maple sushi was alright. Like most of their sushi, it looked delicious. But taste-wise, when all the flavors of the ingredients and sauce melded together in my mouth, it just tasted like any other sushi. Kinda bland just by itself though. The fish roe on top with all the sauces drizzled around looked cool though. I did like their sashimi and nigiri. It was fresh and with no fishy flavor. It tasted like any good cut of fresh fish sashimi. Their udon soup was alright. A little bland by itself. Taste-wise, it just tasted like any other udon soup you could buy anywhere else. Their "angry jalapenos" appetizers were pretty good. The cheese inside didn't really give that strong, nice cheesy taste as i expected but the sauce they put on the plate made it taste a little better. $7 for just four of them is a tad pricey i must say. Their Ice cream tempura tasted really nice! I like how inside has a cold sweet vanilla ice cream surrounded by warm tempura which was thankfully not overly oily. I could eat several servings of these if i could! Chicken karaage was also delicious. It was not overly oily. The sauce they put in made it taste better. Their japanese tea is definitely watered down more than i hoped and tasted like any other tea served at many other asian restaurants. The mini salad dish was made with fresh lettuce and it was refreshing. They put a dollop of some type of salad dressing that adds a little extra flavor to it. Their Sushi well house roll looked amazing but the taste was nothing special. The inside is made of seafood and sauce which melded together in my mouth and tasted like any ordinary sushi. But i really liked the yam crunches they put on top. Their okonomi special roll (spicy) was actually very good and was the best of all the sushi i tasted that night. I especially liked the crab meat and the bacon in it. In terms of the food overall, I pretty much liked everything! I appreciate how they give attention to the presentation of their dishes. I will return and try one of their non-sushi dishes such as their donburi. Sushi Well gets a solid 4/5 from me. read more

This places serves pink rice. Its similar to another restaurant that I have been to in New Westminster that also serves pink rice. Not sure if they are related (unfortunately, I forgot the name of the other restaurant). This place is ran by Korean. I ordered a piece of uni sushi and salmon Aburi sushi. The Salmon Aburi sushi was really weird. It had peso on top and I do like peso but not on sushi. Also they had too much sauce on top of the sushi. The uni was very tasty. Service was ok. My friend C ordered the Bento box and it looked like a really good deal. It had a good assortment of variety and also it came with deserts. Too bad I wasn't hungry or else I could have ordered that. Plus it was cheaper than what I got. read more

I finally get to try the pink sushi rice. I am still skeptical about the health benefits but I am on board as long as the food tastes good. I tried the salmon Oishi sushi, uni nigiri and the negitoro roll. They were good. The negitoro roll was one of the better ones around. Uni was fresh too. The salmon oishi was nice but I was not that into it. I think it was the sauce. I think Miku or even Victoria Sushi versions were better. The place is quite spacious with metered street parking outside. Good service. You get offered tea when you order pick up or take out. read more

First things first... their sushi rice is PINK! They use pink sushi vinegar as opposed to regular vinegar, which maximizes healthy nutrients such as Omega 3, Omega 6, Iron, Potassium, Vitamin C and Beta Carotene. It was a cold rainy day, when we came in (just another day in Vancouver), so we opted to sit next to the fireplace. This place is surprisingly spacious inside, with plenty of seating and tables on either side of the restaurant. I came in here with one other person and we split two rolls, an order of the gyoza, chicken karagge, and the oyster motoyaki. We loved everything except the oyster motoyaki. I normally like oysters, but this particular dish felt undercooked and I wasn't a fan of the sauce on top. I did really love the sushi well house roll (avo, cream cheese, prawn tempura, cucumber, deep fried spicy red snapper, imitation crab, yam crunches, and special sauce) and chicken karagge. The roll was generous in size, and covered in yam crunch flakes, which I particularly loved. The chicken karagge was perfectly juicy and crispy all at the same time - pair this with a chipotle dip, and we were in heaven! Service was very quick and our teas and waters never made it past the half way point. I'd happily come back here for more pink sushi! Yum! read more

First things first: they have pink sushi rice! And it's patented (what?!). They use some type of pink nutritional vinegar in their sushi rice and have a poster that explains it all - reading it even made us feel a little bit better about stuffing our face with sushi because it has more nutrients that normal rice... a LITLLE BIT better We got the Sunshine Coast roll, chicken karage, an oyster appetizer, Gyoza and one other roll I'm forgetting the name of (shame on me, but it was COVERED in shaved yams). Both of the rolls were great, just enough sauce and had melt-in-your-mouth fish on top. Loved them and would 100% get them again. I found the appetizers a little salty, but my favourite was the gyoza, then chicken and then oyster. There was a man sitting beside us who suggested we try the oyster one and we thought "why not?", but I probably would not order that one again... maybe I just don't have the acquired taste for oysters! Overall atmosphere was nice, wasn't too packed and service was good (I always had refills of my tea). Overall a good sushi restaurant in new west that I would go to again! read more

Sushi Well surprised me with its fresh ingredients, quality and pricing! I could see they uphold a high standard for their restaurant and is proud of their food! They specialize in their pink rice which is very unique! (it's patented by them!) Their California combo was only $10.95!! The uni and ikura Don was super fresh and comes with an amazing price! $18.95! I don't know anywhere that can beat their price with that quality! read more

Pretty cheap for such good quality sushi! You can really taste how premium it is and its overall presentation is appealing to the eye.

Sushi Well - Pork Kotsu - Sushi Bars Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

Want to feel good eating sushi? I didn't expect to find a new sushi restaurant to add to my New West list, but this one is worth taking a little trip for. What piqued my interest into trying this place out was their pink rice. Not only does it look good, it's a healthier alternative to just plain white rice. I love goma-ae, so when I was leafing through the menu, I was excited to try the Popeye roll. Hands down, spinach goma-ae and avocado in sushi form is my new favourite affordable snack for just around $4. The tuna avocado roll was decent, fish was fresh. Service was good, the waitress helping me told me how the pink rice was made from natural ingredients like strawberries and beets. I would come back to try out their desserts and special rolls too. read more

This place has pink sushi rice! At first I was a bit iffy about the pink rice not knowing what it is made of! But this definitely changed after reading their poster about how they use pink vinegar made of natural vegetable and fruit. And the taste is no different than your regular sushi rice. Nice to know it is healthy and tasty! My husband and I ordered the Sushi Well house roll, Sushi Well Hako, prawn tempura, uni sashimi and a couple of nigiris. The house roll and halo was really good! I really liked the crunch in house roll with the tempura inside and fried team yam bits. The prawn tempura was fried nicely too - very fresh and you can tell it is from a fresh batch of oil. Great sushi restaurant to add to the list to try in the New West neighborhood! read more

I am writing this review as a Door Dash driver delivering for this restaurant on Labour Day evening. Was promised that the food was available for pick up by 7:49pm which I arrived on time. The cashier told me that the order will be ready at 8:15pm, despite having said that it was ready by 7:49pm. By 8:15pm they told me they were busy and is working on it and will complete it as soon as possible. I inquired with the staff multiple times and they kept on giving me new estimates. This restaurant stalled me multiple times and other couriers (skip and ubereat) had their food picked up despite arriving much later. What gives? I finally picked up the order at 8:51pm (over an hour late) and delivered it to my hangry Door Dash customer. Just be aware when you are ordering food from this place. My review is simply brief summary of the interaction with restaurant staff and how poorly they handle things, and has nothing to do with the food itself. Other customers picking up food were also pissed as the restaurant could not fulfil the pick up orders by the given time. read more

The best thing about this place is that the basic rolls (BC, Cali, Dynamite, etc.) are all quite large and delicious. A lot of sushi restaurants offer basic rolls at what seems like a great price, but when you get them you discover they're skimpy, bland little rolls (Kojima down the street does this). Sushi Well is not like that. Just a dynamite roll and a spicy tuna roll would be enough for lunch for me. Also, the rice is a soft pink color which I find delightful. And the interior of the restaurant is pretty nice. The down side is that Sushi Well is on the pricier side. The basic rolls cost maybe 50 cents to a dollar more here than elsewhere in the neighborhood, and most of the special rolls are just too expensive for me to order them unless it's a special occasion (they are delicious though, FWIW). Also, I very much do NOT recommend the noodles. I ordered the seafood teriaki udon once and it was extremely bland and underwhelming. Not remotely worth the price. The lunch bento boxes were underwhelming too, though they're quite inexpensive so I suppose you get what you pay for there. Despite my qualms with this place, I still think their strong points are strong enough to earn a favorable review. I'd give it 3.5 stars. If you're prepared to spend at least $20 per person, then this place is easily the best sushi in the neighborhood, IMO. read more

The staff was welcoming, friendly and the service was on point. The Menu was intriguing, the pink vinegar sushi rice was something new for me . I tried the torch eel sushi which was amazing. The Stuffed jalapeños was also packed with flavour and nice crunchy batter. I usually don't like the fried chicken at sushi spots but the spicy chicken was also good. The prices are decent and I would actually choose this place over Miku any day because of the Menu and the food actually taste better. Adding to my last post, had to come back for a second time in the same week. The food , customer service and people who work here hasn't disappointed and has stayed consistent from my first visit. I think this my go to spot for sushi, I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Best sushi in New Westminster. The rolls and nugiri had an excellent proportion of rice to fish and they pride themselves in their pink rice, whose colour cones from vegetables. It's healthier than regular sushi rice. The service was very good, too.

I love going to this restaurant specially because of their exceptional customer service . The salmon teriyaki comes on a hot plate with steamed rice and veggies . It tastes really good except for the black pepper they add on the salmon. My daughter really enjoys their food . Today I wanted a sushi roll with spicy salmon, avocado and mango in it . The sushi chef was so accommodating that he custom made it for me . It looked beautiful and tasted heavenly good . I never had pink sushi rice before , the server told me it was one of their speciality and it's a healthier option for sushi . My daughter and I truly enjoyed the food and service . If you're in new west and craving for sushi, I definitely recommend this place . It's kid friendly as well . They brought kid friendly cups, bowls and utensils for my daughter without having to ask for it . Love this place ! read more

Holy smokes! That was some DELICIOUS flippin sushi! Their tuna sashimi was hands down the freshest, highest quality fish I've had in Vancouver (and that's saying something, because we have GREAT sushi here). The Goma ae was to die for- the sauce was very different than most places, less peanuty, more sesame. YUM. I've been back a few times, even though it's not in my neighbourhood. Have yet to try something that hasn't blown my mind. This place is the real deal. read more

This is a Korean run sushi restaurant located a block away from Walmart. We came on a weekend evening and it was pretty empty. What caught our attention is that they serve pink rice! The reason the rice is pink is because they use pink vinegar. Is it healthier? I honestly don't know, but would like to know! We were seated promptly upon arrival, but left sitting for around 15 min. before a server came by to take our order. Mind you that we were the only table there as another group just finished. We ordered a chicken katsu, avocado roll, yam tempura roll, and the sushi well hako (salmon oishi). Portion was decent and prices were reasonable - around $30 for everything. Note that they charge $1 for spicy mayo and I wished our server would've told us that when we ordered. The chicken katsu had a thin crust that was crispy, but the meat wasn't try. My only criticism is that the meat was too thin. It was like a schnitzel, but pounded out really thin. I really enjoyed the avocado roll and yam tempura roll. The avocado was fresh though the seaweed was a little tough. The yam tempura was sweet and crispy, but the batter on the tempura peel. I didn't enjoy the salmon oishi because it was topped with a pesto like sauce that reminded me of pasta. My bf enjoyed the salmon oishi though! He commented that he wished the mayo on top was torched and the sushi didn't break when picked up. Aside from the wait to order, the ladies serving were attentive. Our server came by to check up on us and top off our tea. This restaurant seems to get a lot of online and take out orders, but I couldn't figure out why the two servers were running around so much. It seemed almost chaotic. There were two sushi bar chefs and another chef in the kitchen. The older woman (I think owner) was handling the cashier and take outs so I couldn't figure out why the two servers were running around when there were only 3 small tables (including us). All in all, we would come back if we were in the area! read more
