    Miso soup, seaweed salad, mango roll
    Kelly S.

    Fresh, fresh food! Their dipping sauces are also amazing. They are a small place, but they pack a lot of flavor. The service is fast and friendly, offering miso soup appetizer.

    Absolutely fantastic food, friendly service, my boys were very impressed, five stars.

    I was looking for a nice and low budget lunch place, and stumbled into this cute little sushi restaurant. The place is fairly small, however it's about the normal side of all sushi places. It has a L shape bar with a couple tables for groups of two and four. They have an intensive menu on their special sushi rolls, as well as sushi combos. I ordered the sashimi combo on their lunch combo as I was craving for sashimi. It included two pieces of salmon and tuna sashimi, fairly good size, 8 pieces of dynamite rolls, green salad and chicken or beef teriyaki. The portion is pretty big, and I couldn't even finish the whole box. The miso soup was also included. All the ingredient were made fresh, and they are pretty generous with their portion. There are two chefs working in the kitchen, a serve takes orders and serve the table. She came to check on me a few times, offered to top up my tea, very friendly. They also have other lunch combos which priced very reasonable as well. I would recommend this place to anyone who's a sushi lover. Maybe next time I'll come and try their special rolls.

    I love this place! It has that mom and pop restaurant feel where they treat you like friends and family. It's a very great secret gem! It's very small inside. Literally an equivalent of a sushi bar style from Japan! The sushi is very fresh and the prices are super cheap! I highly recommend trying this place here as you really get your money worth and the quality is amazing!

    Black Tiger Roll & Wakame Salad
    Dana S.

    Wow indeed. The prices make it look like a cheap basic sushi place, but this is legit good stuff! The menu is good value all around, but the prices for the combos in particular are insane, it's tons of sushi for the price of what could be one roll at comparable restaurants. Also the menu is huge with lots of interesting options, including special rolls with brown and black rice, and many vegetarian rolls. Sushi was what I was interested in, but there are plenty of entrees besides just sushi. I ordered and picked up takeout for a hang with some friends. I changed my mind about the roll I wanted in the middle of the call to order and then had to call back to add something I missed, but the person on the phone stayed very friendly and patient, which is amazing because I would've given myself a headache. I got the Black Tiger Roll and a Wakame Salad. I was drawn to this mainly because I wanted to try something with black rice, and the wasabi tobiko sounded interesting. It was very good! Besides just a nice combination of flavours, the ingredients seemed to be of good quality. The wakame was just what you'd expect but it was done right. Again, both the portion size and quality are above what you might expect at this price. I don't live near the Marpole area at all which is a shame because I would love to keep coming back and trying different rolls. If we ever have a get together at this friend's place again I will definitely be suggesting this place again though, and I don't think anyone will object since we were all really impressed.

    Sashimi lunch box only $14.95. Also came with soup. Dynamite roll was huge!
    Jennifer B.

    Really enjoyed our visit to Sushi Wow. Small, basic place but great service and exceptional value. Lunch box came with so many things and generous portions. Miso soup so flavourful and chicken teriyaki was delicious. We dug the all female sushi chef vibe!

    Yam Crazy Combo
    Sylvia Y.

    Probably my favorite sushi spot in the Marpole neighbourhood, always consistent quality (especially like their sushi rice + vinegar ratio) Covid protocols in place, max 3 people in the store at once, menu also placed on exterior glass for ease of navigation. I got the Yam Crazy Combo this time, consists of spicy yam roll, mango yam roll (?) & yam cone. Impressed by the cone's filling to rice ratio, most places just fill majority of cone with rice, this one had filling all the way down. Tip - check your order status inside in reasonable time frame, typically ready sooner than the 10-15mins as quoted, server won't be coming out to flag you!

    Wow Combo
    Rency L.

    Everything about this restaurant is already said in the name: wow. Wow Combo: $8.95/22 pieces + miso soup. The Wow combo includes yam, cali, and tuna rolls. Fresh, authentic, and affordable sushi - what else can you ask for. Would recommend take-out because the restaurant is a bit too cozy for dine-in. xx Ren

    I've been to Sushi Wow various times since it's in my neighbourhood but realized I've never written a review! It's a hole in the wall but definitely a favourite of mine. It's reasonably priced and quality is always consistent. They have a great selection of special rolls and combos. This time I got take out for a picnic and tried the Black Dragon roll which is made with black rice and it was quite tasty.

    This is a small restaurant with a couple small tables and most of the seating at the bar. It was busy when we got here, but I think it was a time when people were just finishing up so it became emptier soon after we we're seated. I ordered some basic rolls. Just the negitoro roll and chopped scallop roll. My friend recommended the combos, which are really filling or their special rolls. Personally, I don't really like a lot of sauce on my rolls so I just stuck with the basics. The food came out not too long after ordering. I liked how they gave plenty of ginger. The chopped scallop was good, but there was too much cucumber in the roll. A couple pieces I'd say were almost 1/3 chopped scallop and 2/3 cucumber. Negitoro was just ok. Prices are decent here and quality is alright. Maybe I just didn't order the right things, so I wasn't really wowed by the sushi.

    Hi L.

    Came here on friend's recommendation but karage & teriyaki chicken looked like left overs that had been refried. Not edible, tossed out most of it. Tuna roll was ok. This was the lunch special (until 3pm) but because I paid for it (literally 4.41 minutes) after 3pm, I was charged the dinner price. Would have been ok if it was had been cooked fresh!

    Kappa Avocado Roll
    Dani C.

    Ordered through SkipTheDishes, and while it took long, it was communicated during the order process. Worth the wait! The food was well packaged for travel and arrived beautiful with presentation and garnish. My favourite was the Sushi Pizza and the Dynamite roll. The tempura was amazing and it wasn't over filled with fake crab. The fish on the sushi pizza was fresh and delicious.

Not just for great sushi, but really affordable prices as well. Yes, the wait for a table can get long. We waited about 45 minutes, and there's no area to wait except outside or go take a walk since they will text you when your table is ready. I also appreciate seeing where my place in line is through Yelp! First, a shoutout to the wonderful service here. Everywhere I go in Vancouver the service is great, but the server here was so friendly, helpful and efficient. The ambiance is really nice here and I love the place settings! We had a lot, so here is my breakdown: Spicy Agedashi Tofu - lightly fried tofu in a sauce that reminded me of gochuchang sauce. 7/10 Gyoza - crispy fried with a pork/veggie filling. 6/10 Karaage chicken - on the bone, but delicious nonetheless. Served with a mayo sauce. 7/10 Tuna Bomb - 10/10 this came out last because it takes longer to make. This is an absolute must-do. Crispy rice patties with a spicy tuna spread that you just place on the rice. Salmon jalapeno aburi hako - 10/10 I have been excited about this since I heard about it. The seared salmon on top of rice with a shrimp tempura running through the middle. The salmon and sauce on top melt in your mouth. Red Dynamite Roll - 9/10 this was my brother's favorite. I wanted it to be a bit spicier, but that said it's still so amazing. Mango Flower Roll - 9/10 if you like mango then you will love this. This also just melts in your mouth and that mango is just so fresh. California roll - 8/10 as great as a California roll can be! No complaints here! Rainbow Roll - I didn't get to try it, but my niece gave it a 10/10! I will definitely be coming back here again.

I counted maybe 36 seats. The interior is nice but generic enough to be just about any type of restaurant. The menu accessed via QR code. I ended up trying the following: - Assorted Tempura: Good. Light batter, but slightly overbrowned. - Miso Black Cod: Good. More elaborate presentation than most, but very small piece. - Salmon Belly Sashimi: Very good. Fresh and delicious. - Tom Special Roll Tray: Very good. A great way to sample all the different roll, all which are very good. I thought it was reasonably priced and could adequately feed 4 people. Service was very good. There are a LOT of staff, so we were constantly being checked on to make sure we were happy and got anything we needed. Overall a good meal. It doesn't classify as the best sushi in Vancouver, but I can see the quality-value ratio might be the best in the city. All the food was quite good and certainly not overpriced. I imagine the high staff count was due to the overwhelming amount of takeout orders. I would return.

Our wait staff were friendly and on point. They were considerate about answering our questions about the food and food allergies. I ordered the chicken thigh katsu ($26 Can) and my hubs got the chicken thigh curry ($28.50 Can). No dairy involved in either dish which I was happy about because I have challenges digesting milk protein. Yes, it's kinda pricey. Yes, it's totally worth it. The katsu is light, crispy, fried perfectly, not greasy, and comes with unlimited rice, miso soup, finely chopped cabbage salad, and an addictively delicious sesame dressing.

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.

Total 10 guests today. Looks like 4 more guests can be served for the maximum seating. The server came by when the course is served to explain each item. The appetizers have three dishes. The tempura is freshly made and hot. The cooked fish tastes a bit fishy to my likely. The chawanmushi is lukewarm which I wish to be hotter. It then follows by 8 nigiri sushi with brown rice - really like the texture and (small) portion of rice with each nigiri. Fresh ingredients. I asked for low sodium option however the first few nigiri is a bit too salty and I have notified the server so the chef can adjust immediately. I enjoy the Hokkaido uni nigiri the last smoked fish nigiri the most. The fresh crab and salmon roe rice and beef soba noodles at the end have a nice touch of finesse. There are a number of birthday celebrations and they asked for names to acknowledge and celebrate the birthdays. A little musical piano "performance" for the happy birthday song. Matcha green tea is served at the end to wrap up the omakase. Overall an enjoyable experience but not necessarily impressive as a Michelin 1 star restaurant. At this price point it's worth a try however not likely regular visit.
