My friend C recommended this place. They don't disappoint. They only have to go food items. I heard that in the past or before Covid, it was a sit down restaurant but they got smart and changed the entire concept to a To-go restaurant. Service was great here. They have different variety selection. Everything is good quality. Because of its location only locals know about this Japanese To-go place. I got one of their bento boxes: chicken teriyaki with rice. It was very tasty. I came here with my friend H and she got a Tuna roll and a Tom Yum Cup Noodle. I have never seen this Cup Noodle flavor elsewhere. They have some unique Japanese items too that you can't get elsewhere. She liked her sushi roll. I like how it is packaged the seaweed separate from the rice to ensure that when you eat it the seaweed is nice and crispy. Overall, I highly recommend coming to this place and giving it a try. Note: There is no dine in here after Covid. They replaced all the tables and chairs with fridges.
Ok taste, not good value. The restaurant is next to a Safeway in a shopping complex near Steveston. They used to have a dine-in option but now it's all take out. We came recently to get takeout to eat at Steveston Park. For take out, the prices are still quite high and I can't say the food is that memorable. I've had better tasting take-out for less around Vancouver. We ordered from the freshly made options: - Pork Katsu Curry ($16.95) - This was good. It wasn't great. Its your typical curry. The pork was very crispy/deep fried. Pricey even if it's not take-out, but this is take-out. - Seafood Aburi Roll ($19.45) - This had seared tuna/salmon on a california roll. It tasted fishy and there was no aburi/smoky flavor to it. For the 8pcs, it was not worth it; I would not get this again. Food was prepared and ready within 10min. From the ready-made take out option, we got a Salmon Mayo Onigiri ($3.95). Its nice they have a large variety of onigiris to choose from.
This place has been around for a long time but I didn't have a chance to visit till now. We came at around 11am and it was well stocked. They were still bringing things out but most spots were already filled with food. They have so many items if you have problems deciding what to eat, don't come here. You will be in here for HOURS. Believe me I wanted to get everything like bentos, pudding, sushi etc. But I knew I wouldn't be able to finish it all. We ended up getting amaebi shrimp, yakisoba set, mini unagi don, croquette sandwich and fruits with white chocolate. The amaebi shrimp comes with sweet shrimp, scallop and marinated tuna. This was definitely worth it for 10$. The shrimp was really sweet and so was the scallop. The yakisoba set has yakisoba as well as glutinous rice and chicken karaage. If we had microwaved this, this would have tasted amazing. Even without microwaving it was already delicious. The glutinous rice was perfectly cooked and flavoured well with pieces of chicken. The yakisoba was really addictive with notes of sweet and sour. The chicken karaage wasn't crispy but it wasn't dry or overly coated with batter either. The mini unagi don was worth it. It doesn't look like a lot of unagi but if you want to try everything like me this set is perfect. The unagi was so well grilled. It had that burnt carmalized flavour and the unagi was crunchy and had a bite to it. It wasn't overly sweet and the rice went so well with this. I had the hardest time debating between choosing the croquette sandwich, egg sandwich or the tonkatsu sandwich and I settled on croquette sandwich since you can't find it everywhere. This had fresh cabbage in it which helped cut through the heaviness if the croquette itself. The sauce made it really addicting. I love that the croquette bread they grilled both side with butter but I wished that the milk bread they used was fluffier and a bit thicker. The fruits and white chocolate sandwich was so fluffy and made for such a perfect ending. It was a little sweet due to the white chocolate and the fruit already being sweet to begin with. The kiwi, strawberry, grape and orange were all really sweet and the fluffy bread with cream made for a satisfying finish. I would definitely go back to try their other boxes - eyeing those bentos and sushi. This will definitely become a staple on my way to Steveston from now on or just when I'm craving cheap and delicious Japanese food
A coworker who lives in Richmond recommended this place and said this is her go to for Japanese food. I can totally see why. I love the huge variety of Japanese food here. Besides the rolls and sashimi, you can get a temaki, onigiri, yakisoba, salad, desserts, snacks and so much more here. Unfortunately they removed the dine in option since the pandemic. So this is strictly a take out place. You can either get the ready made food at the cooler or you can order from the cashier for other things only on the menu. You can get tonkatsu, more sushi and rolls and udon from the menu. There is a microwave for those who want to heat up the ready made to go food. It's cheaper to get the ready made food but the options are less than the menu. I've gotten food from both and they are all good. I love the temaki and the bluefin tuna roll. I recently tried the amaebi nigiri set and that's so delicious! Amaebi is so much sweeter than ebi. This is a place I'll actually travel to from vancouver just to get food here. Really a pity I can't dine in. So I usually just buy the ready made food and go to a park to eat. The drive back to vancouver is too long for the cooked food to hold up well, especially tonkatsu or any fried stuff.
Straightforward yet satisfying Japanese fare but done very well. Everything was seasoned well and it was always pretty to look at all the treasures from bento boxes. Neatly presented, the unagi had great texture and rich oils permeated the palate superbly. The marinated tuna was hearty and contained loads of proteins, perfect anytime of the day. We love their portion size and the garnishes went very well with the main ingredient and the rice. There are many items to choose from and we can't wait to try other things from their menu.
Eating non-sushi items @takeyasushi Takeya Don $17 BBQ Eel , Ebi Tempura , Chicken Karaage on Rice The portion is like a school bento box, not a typical take-out bento box size. It comes with half egg and few pickles. BBQ Eel tastes good but it's quite small. I love the Ebi Tempura because it's a Jumbo size firm prawn inside with crispy Tempura batter outside. Chicken Karage is OK. Ebi Fry Curry Rice $13.50 Love the simple curry rice with the deep fried shrimps. Kakiage 1pc $3 You have to try it. Takeya is the only restaurant that is selling this deep fried vegetables. I only saw this side dish when I was eating in the udon noodles restaurant in Japan.

A cute little Japanese one stop shop that sells bento boxes (made to order), onigiri, sashimi and hard to find desserts and snacks. I also bought the egg sandwich which reminded me of the ones from Family Mart in Japan . The bread was so fluffy and soft, I had to savour every bite of it! Genuinely miss the convenience stores in Asia that never close, and are stocked with anything and everything imaginable!
A no frills shop in Richmond serving take away sushi, and not only that they were quick to prepare. We got their nigiri bento and were very impressed. The food was fresh and delicious, especially for being "fast food". Great place to stop if short on time but still wanting something tasty!
Went here to grab a few things for lunch and they had a good selection of bowls, bentos, onigiris etc. Everything was very reasonably priced and tasty! It was also quite busy during lunch time. The ebi chilli mayo hand roll was kinda fun since you have to roll it yourself in the seaweed and the sauce was really nice. read more

I love this place. They have such quality bento boxes, which are so convenient to bring to work or to have as a quick lunch or dinner. This place used to be a restaurant but after Covid, they switched to just providing takeout, which I think actually works better. They're constantly busy and I absolutely love the quality of the food. It's definitely pricier than other places and the portion sizes aren't huge, but it's enough for me and I don't mind spending a bit more because I know that their food is always fresh and healthy. read more

I ordered some sushi for lunch. Food was ready in 20 minutes for pick up. My aburi salmon battera was made well. Salmon was fresh and had a nice seared flavour. The meal was not cheap, but the quality was worth the price. Covid precautions were in place when picking up my food. Staff wore face masks, there was plexiglass at the cashier section and hand sanitizer available. read more
If you're in the Richmond - Steveston area and you're craving sushi, well then let me takeya (get it? Take you, take ya, Takeya? LOL) to Takeya Sushi! A small, but fun and easy-to-navigate Japanese restaurant, Takeya Sushi all the typical offerings that one might find when craving all kinds of far east Asian cuisine, including some specialty items. Anything from nigiri sushi, maki sushi, donburi, and variation and combinations of bento boxes you will definitely find here. They have an extensive menu that is simple to read and they have an all-Japanese staff ready and willing to help any customer. Some items I ordered during my first take-out visit were: Croquettes and curry - tasty, good portion ratios, curry was a bit too sweet for my liking Tuna roll - simple, okay quality tuna Tenzaru soba - prawn tempura was crispy and fresh, overall good Oyakodon - just okay, too much rice, not good portion size prawns and curry - excellent, curry too sweet for me personally I came in wanting to try the Takeya Don which is similar to the Ichiro Don from Ichiro Japanese Restaurant - unagi, prawn tempura, and chicken karaage on top of a bed of hot rice, but this item was not available today, it is only available from Fri - Sun. I'll have to come again next time to try it out. The server politely advised me to choose another item instead and was very patient and friendly with me while I had to look at the the menu again. My order came out to a total of about $50.00 after tips and it only took about 10 minutes for all of it to come out of the kitchen. Talk about fast service! One of the small reasons why I am not giving Takeya Sushi a 5-star is because the soba noodles were all stuck together when I tried to eat them. Maybe it had something to do with being in a takeout container for 10 minutes before I could sit down to eat it, but to me that little extra attention to detail made the difference for me when I just wanted to slurp up the noodles bit by bit after dipping them in the sauce. Another small thing that I found disappointing was the portion ratio in the Oyakodon. Too much rice, and not enough of the chicken and egg on top to match. It was tasty, but definitely suffered from that imbalance of ingredients as a whole dish. Overall, I had a good experience here, and I will be back to try their other items. Service is good, prices are reasonable. Please come and support this local business! read more

This is traditional Japanese style sushi, so if you're interested in all sorts of crazy rolls that get fried and sauced and covered in crunchy bits then this is not the sushi joint for you. If you're looking for more traditional food that showcases fresh ingrediants and expert preperation, then this IS the right place for you. A little pricer than most sushi joints in Richmond, but I think the difference in quality makes it well worth the extra couple dollars. Small restaurant with limited seating: take out is usually the way to go during peak hours. Their fish is hands down the most fresh I've had in Richmond (just look at that shine!), and it is delicious raw or torched. Specific recommendations for Takeya: *Chirashi don. I think this is hands down the BEST value item they offer. There is a great variety of fish, and it is pretty filling for the price. The Ika, hotate, salmon belly and ikura are the real draws for me. Just as delicious in take out from. *Prawn tempura. Order when dining in, and eat it while it's hot! *Agadashi tofu. Just delicious. *Takeya Nigiri. A set of aburi nigiri and a maki roll. Highly reccomend if you love (or are interested in trying) aburi sushi. read more

This little gym hides in a typical boring looking strip mall next to Safeway. it is a very small shop but the food has big flavors. What drew me in was the many flavors of rice balls (onigiri) - chicken, miso salmon, ume, etc. And it turns out, there were lots of other boxed lunch choices so far everything we've tried taste authentic and the little shop is always busy. read more
Good sushi spot. We hit it up right after a soccer game at Hugh Boyd. It's a smaller establishment - so seating for a group more than 4 can get tricky. The kids enjoyed a mix of salmon, tuna, and kappa rolls with chicken teriyaki and bento boxes. Everything was good and reasonably priced. I had the brown rice avocado and yam special roll with a chirashi don. The roll itself was good and I liked the options to have brown rice. The chirashi don was a good portion - but it has mackerel (which I'm not a fan of) and I would have swapped that out. Service was prompt and the food was served in a timely manner. For a quick sushi bite at good value - this place works. read more
Surprisingly the seaweed salad was my favourite dish. I enjoyed all the nigiris since it was all fresh and tasty! The salmon toro was my favourite. This is not a place where they have the crazy special rolls with different sauces. The rolls are the traditional Japanese rolls. read more
First meal back in Vancouver meant going for sushi. Takeya Sushi is located in Seafair Shopping Centre that houses a Safeway. It's also next door to another Japanese restaurant. We dropped in on a Monday (around 12:30pm) for lunch and the place was packed. Good to see that this place is actually run by Japanese people. Service was friendly but not as attentive as normal. We had to ask a few times for water refills. There's two menus; takeout and regular. The regular menu is split into battera sushi, summer/brown rice specials, soup and salad, sashimi, tempura/fry/teriyaki, rolls, nigiri, sushi combo, rice bowl/dishes, noodles, noodle set, bento box, party tray and desserts. Phew, so many. - Toro sashimi ($13.45) - this isn't on their menu but we asked and they had it. Sadly, the toro wasn't fresh. You could tell it was frozen the moment they dropped it off. Sad. - Ten zaru udon ($11.45) - one of their summer specials. Three pieces of prawn tempura and cold udon noodles. Tempura was fantastic; lightly fried and crispy. Udon noodles were standard. I wanted more of a chewy bite to them. - Takeya nigiri ($16.95) - lightly seared salmon toro, tuna toro, saba, amaebi and unagi, three salmon rolls and three tuna rolls. This was our favourite dish. Tuna toro melted in my mouth, same with the salmon toro. Unagi had the perfect balance of sweetness. - Salmon ($2.95), tuna ($2.95) and tamago nigiri ($2.05) - the rice to fish ratio was off in both the salmon and tuna nigiri. Way too much rice. The tamago was the best of the three but I'd skip out on their nigiri. - Negi toro roll ($3.95) and tobiko scallop roll ($3.95) - simple but good. I liked how the rice fell apart when I popped them in my mouth. B thought there was a tad too much rice in them. Takeya Sushi won't blow you away but the food was respectable. read more
I am agreeing with most of you who rate Takeya 4 stars! This is my first time and it blew me away of how good this little neighbourhood Japanese eatery is. This is a Japanese owned and staffed establishment with good old no fuss Japanese favourites...Sushi, Tempura, Udon, Soba, Terriyaki, and the list goes on! Do come and try this place out and you won't be disappointed!! read more

Sushi is absolutely phenomenal here. Can get crowded during dinner rush, but usually able to find a seat. Lots of delicious rolls and specials to try. I had the Ebi Fry Curry, and vegetable battera. On another occasion, I had the Onigiri and the Chicken Karaage. Very sizeable portions given the price point. I'll definitely be back. read more
Food was yummy for sure. It was pricey though. So it was little tastier than others but also a little more expensive. We had the unagi don, which had a lot of thick and good texture unagi. It was delicious! The ebi curry was satisfying on a cold day, not too spicy with some mushroom carrot and onion in curry. The ebi was nicely fried, very crispy outside with flavourful ebi. Chicken udon was average. I could see quite a bit of oil on soup. Overall it was still quite good. read more
