    the outside of a restaurant
    Carolyn L.

    I have been to Sushi Yoi a few times now and it slowly grew on me. The menu with the 3 items for $15.95 (as usual, prices kept going up) reminded me of the many sushi places in commercial drive. That was back in the days when you could choose 3 items for $10 or so. I typically ordered the bento and it was decent. On my last visit, I decided to get the nabeyaki udon and it was surprisingly good. The shrimp tempura was light and crispy. Lots of chicken pieces and spinach. The broth was tasty. A nice filling bowl of noodles hit the spot on a cold day. 4 stars for that. For the sushi stuff, it was more of 3 to 3.5 stars. Average to a bit higher than average, depending on what you ordered. Free parking at Madison Center. I double checked with the staff on that.

    Three out of the four of us didn't enjoy our lunch that cost $me 80.39 on Sat, May 27th. My mother requested lunch at this cute Japanese restaurant. Three hours of free parking is allowed in the Madison garage. Service-Okay Food-Could have been better Atmosphere-Quiet we were the only ones in the establishment until 30 mins later. My miso soup was weak in taste. My cooked/grilled salmon that arrived in my salmon sashimi bento box $18.45 was so compressed it had the texture of overcooked leftovers. The raw salmon was okay, not much flavor but the raw tuna was a tad slimy and was tasteless. The California roll was the only enjoyable part of my box. The beef in my husband's Oyako don bowl $14.45 was overcooked and did not taste or even look that desirable he stated. My daughter's tempura in the Bento box combo #1 $14.95 was "okay" but the beef over rice was just doused in a sauce that overpowered that entree and she couldn't enjoy the beef. The shrimp sunomono salad $5.75 was small in quantity and was swimming in the vinegar dressing. You had to scoop and save the noodles and cucumbers from drowning! Yikes! I left a good tip for the server who was trying to be efficient and it could have been an off day for the kitchen. The pages of extensive menu items was impressive but the food that day was not.

    Deep Fried California Roll

    More like 3.5 stars. This place is my togo place whenever I'm craving deep fried sushi. I visited here around 3 PM on weekdays to order togo. I was going to order the usual Osaka Roll, but opted for Deep Fried California Roll instead. I picked up my order after around 20 min ish, which is understandable due to how busy it is. Food is as expected, taste pretty good and crunchy enough. Kinda regretted that I picked Deep Fried California Roll, cause Osaka Roll is a better value and taste. Will come again for sure!

    This restaurant gets a solid satisfactory rating - which you could really take or leave at this point. I know this joint gets frequented for nearby businesses for lunch. However, this wouldn't necessarily be my go to spot. The staff are nice which is always a plus in my books but I'll find a sushi quality to be a little different to my liking. Their agedashi tofu is one of my fav appy's and their dragon/caterpillar (I forgot lol) roll was good too. I find their sushi to be on the smaller size for the price so that's mostly the reasoning for my rating. Their sashimi is soso and quite small as well. I haven't had too many of their other bento/entree dishes so take my review with a grain of salt. I know there are definitely coworkers that enjoy this place - it just isn't a home run for me.

    I ordered from Sushi Yoi on doordash twice and finally went in person the other day. It was great booth seating, we came in at around 5pm and it wasn't busy which was nice. It filled up around 6:15pm ish. We ordered the $15.95 Any 3 Items on a menu. The Mackerel Nigiri (the white nigiri) was obviously frozen and wasn't thawed out properly so that sucked. Other than that we ordered the B.C Blazer and Firecracker Roll and they were both great. The Salmon Oshi was great, usually it's overpriced but it was decently priced here. The staff were attentive, kinda awkward, but they were really nice and friendly. They constantly were checking if we wanted more water or tea. I would return again!

    Dynamite roll
    Kit Yee Y.

    I ordered takeout from this japanese restaurant because it was close to my workplace. When I first entered the restaurant, the lighting was a bit dark inside. Not sure if the windows were tinted. The servers and a chef that I saw were Chinese. One of the servers gave me a takeout menu. The menu had 8 pages. There are so many items on the menu that it took me sometime to read through it. The menu has too many items that I lost my patience to read. Also, there were not too many photos on the menu, so I just ordered what I wanted. I ordered a Katsu don, dynamite roll, beef yakiudon, ikura nigiri sushi and chicken karaage. The quality of all these dishes here was only okay. The ikura nigiri and dynamite roll were better among these 5 dishes. The Katsu don looked delicious, but when I had a bite, the flavour was quite bland. I had really good Katsu don somewhere else. This one couldn't compare with it. The beef yakiudon was okay. They could have used better udon. I loved chicken karaage the most as it was the best dish among 5 of them. It was very crispy outside and soft and juicy inside. The pricing was reasonable. Would I recommend this Japanese restaurant to others? If your standard is not high and if you only care about filling the stomach, sure you can come to this restaurant. However, if you are looking for something high quality, I would say you better look for another sushi restaurant.

    Beef teriyaki bowl
    Michael L.

    Came by on a Wednesday for lunch with a Groupon in a group of four. We made reservations but they failed to reserve a table for us...not a great start. After a short wait, they cleared a table and we were seated. The room is pretty tight and not a lot of space between tables. The Groupon was for a dinner for four and it was a great value which included: edamame, tuna and salmon sashimi, tempura (prawn and veg), miso soup, spring rolls, chicken or beef teriyaki rice bowls, a California crunch role and a spicy tuna roll. That is a lot of food. We all enjoyed the teriyaki bowls and unfortunately that was really the only part of the meal that stood out. The rest of the food was okay but nothing special. The staff were pleasant and fairly attentive. I would recommend Sushi Yoi if you are looking for good sushi value for the price but we have no plans to return. I did find it better than Sushi Garden which is just a few blocks away.

    Best sushi in the area. I chose Sushi Yoi over Sushi Garden for their service, parking and menu options. Sushi Garden still has the bigger sashimi pieces if that's what you're going for though. I've tried a lot of items on Sushi Yoi's menu and while they're all pretty good, they need to work on their aburi. The bento boxes are the best bang for the buck. I always get the Osaka Bento, which comes with miso soup, 2 pieces of tuna sashimi, 2 pieces of salmon sashimi, seaweed salad, Alaska roll and a choice or either chicken terriaki on rice or beef terriaki on rice. Free parking in the plaza underground beside the restaurant.

    We love the food. Gohan and the miso eggplant were our favorite; the kids menu is a boon too.read more

    We had a reservation early evening and when we arrived were promptly greeted by a server. She…read moreseated is and gave us menus and informed us of any special items they had atm. She then left to let us peruse the menu. We took awhile to look so we were asked at once point if we were ready and we sis we needed a bit more time so the server was delightfully accommodating and said whenever we were ready to give a server a call. Later on when we were ready our order was taken by a male staff member. We ordered a decent amount. Miso cheese eggplant, chawan-mushi, fried fish collar served in some kind of broth, 8pc nigiri omakase, blue fin tuna&uni hand cone, another hand cone but I can't remember what was in it..wifey ordered it, vegetable tempura and a black truffle dynamite roll. The highlight for me was the black truffle dynamite roll, it's taste was perfect. The right amount of truffle used and not over powering like I've had at so many other venues. I was pleasantly surprised and delighted. It was smokey, earthy and tasted wonderful. The miso cheese eggplant was delicious, slightly salty from the miso and wonderfully roasted soft eggplant. The fish colar in broth was light and delicate, beautiful flavor and texture. Chawanmushi was soft and delicate, excellently flavored. The omakase which had fish from Japan was delicious, super fresh and masterfully prepared! The tempura came with a green tea seasalt which was different but very nice. For dessert we had the green tea tiramisu which was very tasty. The restaurant itself is small but cozy and wonderfully decorated. My wife and I had a wonderful meal and I would go back for special occasions.

    Love this place! The food, ambiance and service. The ambiance is super fun with lots of anime…read morecharacters and a big screen playing anime. The staffs/owner were very friendly and made great recommendations. Had the hamachi carpaccio, so refreshing and appetizing. The homemade ponzu (lemony) sauce has a nice finish with thin sliced onions and veggies. The Engawa Arburi nigiri was recommended, and it was phenomenal. It is the 'fin edge' of flounder. Super delicate, with seared (arburi) flavor and melts in your mouth. Yum! The other highlight was the Wagyu beef cubes severed on stick. Two skewers 4 cubes each. The Wagyu was perfectly cooked. It melts in your mouth with every bite. We also enjoyed the 7 piece Omakase sushi set. The fish was very fresh and satiating. Love the lotus root chips garnishing. We loved everything we had but would likely skip the Omakase appetizer Platter. Perhaps we were spoiled by the hamachi carpaccio appetizer. We still enjoyed it but For the same price, we would prefer the sushi set. It had 9 small plates in a beautiful serving box including- tiny sashimi cube of salmon, tuna, tamago, and my fav is the komochi nishin (herring fillets ("Nishin") layered over a base of crunchy capelin roe), also included in the tiny plates of apps were, chicken karaage, baby taco, sliced taco, taco in red sauce, and seaweed salad. We look forward to be back!!!!!

    Parking is easy as it is in a small mall…read more The service was very good. Our tea was always topped up and the servers were cheerful and very helpful. We sat in a separate section of the restaurant with 3 tables at the front. We ordered chicken wings, assorted tempura, miso black cod and an order of beef teriyaki that was not on the menu. The servings are very small for the prices charged. We found that the chicken wings (only 4 small wings) $9.50 were a bit dry. The tempura batter was not as crisp or crunchy as we've had. The miso black cod was a very small portion - maybe 4 oz. for $18.00. We did not feel that there was value for the money. The food was average and the prices were too high for the quality and amount of food received. We did not enjoy the anime that was playing and we were glad that we were not sitting in the main dining room. Overall, we feel that there are better options for a Japanese meal.

    I made a reservation at Okeya Kyujiro for my partner's 40th birthday, and he had the best time…read more Honestly, it was one of the most memorable omakase experiences I've had in Vancouver. 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.

It is more of a traditional Japanese place. There are no fancy rolls, not even California roll. We ordered their salmon oshi and I actually like that they used shiso leave and marinated grated diako instead of avocado and jalapeñoz. Their unagi don is amazing. The unagi has a bit of a grilled flavor. There is no fishiness to it. Their rice is amazing!! It's really fluffy and the doness is just right. For sashimi, we ordered their Aburi tuna. It's paired with ponzu sauce and flavoured pickled daikon. Their food is really good. Their staff are very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be coming back for more.

Everything was really good. specially, Kinmedai that melted in my mouth. They even deep fried the Aji in the end and I loved it (It could be fishy for some ppl but that's what I like) . Staffs are super friendly and caring. I definitely would go back this place.
