    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.

    Good food

    Miss dining in but the takeout is still very good . Great bento box and great offering

    Pork Katsu Curry ($16.95)
    Mandy T.

    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.

    Onigiri
    Spoonful.of.Jaes S.

    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!

    Nigiri bento
    Kay F.

    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!

Wait time subsequently rose to 30-45 minutes and when we left it was 1 hr 15 min or more. So get there at least 10 min before especially if you dine in the weekend. We shared the assorted tonkatsu set which featured cheese katsu, pork katsu (tonkatsu), ebi (shrimp), alongside miso soup, cabbage, rice, and the other fixings. It's cool you can grind the sesame and have a choice of dipping in mayo or katsu sauce. Also, we added an egg for $2 (half egg, ripoff, skip skip), and hotate (scallop) - nicely battered, fresh, and sweet. I'd recommend eating the cheese katsu first thing to fully enjoy the melted cheese texture. The pork katsu is solid - the meat is quite juicy. The shrimp is huge and fresh. I docked a star off because of the service. The place is small and it's Japanese food so I expected a bit better service. When we chose to share the set, they called out they won't honor unlimited cabbage, rice, and soup, unless we specifically order 2 sets, despite us ordering extras that are close to the price of the cheapest set. Also, it takes a while to flag down a server to refill the hot tea. It's still a decent experience, but I would've been unhappy if I waited more than 30 minutes for a table because while the katsu is delicious, it's not impressive compared to other katsu spots to wait such a long time.

Everything tasted solid but seems small for the price. My little (who doesn't eat much) finished the whole meal set and said she was only 50% full and proceeded to eat snacks in the car after dinner. The staff spoke Japanese so you know it's pretty authentic but for the price and the wait, it could've delivered more.

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.

We opted to share the Zenbu set (comes with variety of pork, chicken, cheese, seafood and veggie tempura) and realized we could get refillable rice, soup, and salad for both of us. This was awesome! I was pleasantly surprised by the chicken thigh. I normally always order pork katsu, but the chicken was tender and juicy. The scallop was huge and not rubbery at all! There was more than enough food for the both of us and we even both had leftovers for lunch the next day. We also ordered the lobster croquette, which was fun to try. Like any croquette, there was a lot of mixed ingredients apart from the lobster, but it was still tasty and fun. The staff were attentive at refilling items and were easy to flag down. This is definitely a place that I would return to again and again when I'm in the mood for Katsu.
