Tuna Bomb
Kyle T.

TLDR: Great sushi restaurant that has a large variety of fish and sushi items. Would recommend getting a reservation ahead of time! Think of it as a more upscale Tom Sushi (same chef) Food: We had the Tuna Bomb to share which came with pieces of cripsy rice and tuna topping. The rice was light, crispy, and provided a nice compliment to the creamy spicy tuna. We also had the super kaisen don which came with a large variety of premium fish and a very large piece of anago (saltwater eel). All of the fish pieces were fresh, had great texture, and had unique tastes. Price: For the quality and portion I think it was a great value. The super kaisen don was $68 and the tuna bomb was $14 Service/Ambiance: The restaurant was very modern, chic, and lively. It was a busy sunday night but the service was friendly and very quick Note: Parking is pretty difficult, I would also recommend getting a reservation in advance!

Spicy Tuna Roll, Assorted Tempura
Bowie T.

Solid place for Korean-style Japanese food, Tom Sushi-esque. Came in for two at seven o'clock with no reservations and seated at the bar right away. They're on Open Table for resos btw. The place was packed on a Saturday night. Ordered: Assorted tempura, spicy tuna roll, Alaska roll and a special vegetable roll. Pros: - attentive service and food came out promptly - street parking is free on the residential streets north of broadway or right across from the hospital on oak street after six pm - vibes are cute and seating is spacious - solid food and well-priced

Pressed salmon sushi

I really enjoyed my experience here. I ubered so I cannot say how parking is but currently the construction on the street makes it look like a mess. Once you enter it's nice though. I came here based on TikToks as I am not from Vancouver/Canada. The sushi was delicious. Everyone around us also looked really pleased with their meals. We weren't super hungry but ordered a couple of items. The meal is served with hot tea (unsweetened if that matters) which is nice for cold Vancouver. Maybe it was barley tea, but I can't be sure. We ordered the tuna tataki which was delicioussssss. The salad underneath was a little soaked in sauce/dressing but it was so good that I didn't mind. The fish was fresh and complimented well by the sauce and sesame seeds. I got the pressed salmon sushi. (Salmon jalapeno something). I also really like that. The shrimp inside could've been a tiny bit more crispy but other than that it was perfect. I would've ordered it twice if I was hungrier. My boyfriend go the volcano roll. He said it was ok but the cream cheese overwhelmed the fish flavor. I tasted the roll and liked the cream cheese addition. The fish was fresh and the sauce was good. It is a saucy roll though. Be warned if you don't like cream cheese or sauce heavy rolls. We finished with the chopped scallop roll. It might have been my favorite thing. Also it was only $7 for 8 pieces. It was delicious. Still saucy but I loved it. I would have 3 of them LOL. We were celebrating our anniversary so they brought us vanilla ice cream with matcha powder on top and a candle. It was really nice and delicious (especially for such a simple combination). The service was also great. The servers were attentive and also very nice.

Everything was delicious and fresh. Excellent and quick service. There are a few spots of complimentary parking downstairs. There is only one spot for large groups. We celebrated a birthday and received a scoop of ice cream, candle on top and a birthday song sung by our waiter.

Not your usual traditional sushi. Very Vancouverite... burn rice on sushi to give crispy bite. Service and ambiance is good. Hard to find parking.

Tozen Sushi Bar was a place I'd been recommended several times and it did not disappoint! It was definitely very busy on a Friday night so I was glad I booked ahead. The ambiance was lively and I enjoyed the lighting in the restaurant. I did find it a little bit hard to flag someone down to order since it was quite loud. My friend and I shared the mentaiko udon, a few types of sashimi and we each tried a cocktail. The mentaiko udon was flavourful and rich, and the mushrooms really tied it together (this is definitely on the better end of mentaiko udons I've tried!) The sashimi quality was also great and I particularly enjoyed the tuna While the matcha sour was definitely up my alley in terms of presentation, I found it a bit strong on the vodka taste and prefer something a bit sweeter. Overall, I really enjoyed my time here and would probably come back if looking for a vibey Japanese spot I felt that the quality of everything I tried did match its pricepoint

Just some updates for Tozen Sushi Bar on 967 West Broadway Vancouver Food:(5/5) No doubt Service :(4/5)

Stephanie M.

If I could I would give this place a 3.5 based on the food and service I received. The decor is very chic and cool but still comfortable. We got some nigiris and the salmon jalapeno oshi. The best thing was the salmon jalapeno sushi. The nigiri is not where Tozen shines. The fish didn't taste the best. The best part was the fried shrimp head which isn't surprising considering they are known for their fried foods. Overall service was super nice and professional. Based on the nigiri, I didn't love it. But based on the oshi sushi only it was good. If you visit, only get their special rolls and oshis

Sushi and dessert

We were 5 people visiting from Mississauga, Ontario . The restaurant was beautiful and the service was perfect ! Michael and Katia were very professional and knew their stuff ! She accommodated all of our dietary restrictions perfectly. We highly recommend her !

Fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced given the quality. I've been to Tozen many times and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend making reservations as the restaurant can be very busy during dinner time!

Explosive tuna bomb
Maling S.

Just had the most amazing early birthday dinner at Tozen Sushi Bar! The modern decor created a beautiful experience. The food? Absolutely outstanding! We indulged in: Ruby Spritz Mocktail (refreshing!) Warm & comforting Miso Soup Fresh Gomae Crispy Chicken Karaage Light & airy Prawn Tempura Explosive Tuna Bomb Delicious Maki Rolls (Salmon, Tuna, Tamago, Avocado) Flavorful Beef Yakiudon Sweet & savory Chicken Teriyaki with a bowl of rice Every dish was a delight! Highly recommend Tozen for any occasion. The staff is so attentive, I noticed every detail is thoughtful and mindful. Can't wait to go back!

Hojiacha opera cake
Min A.

Amazing sushi restaurant which is now one of my favorites. We couldn't get a reservation but they had space for walk in. We were celebrating a birthday so we ordered the house warm sake with gomae to start then ordered the Salmon jalapeño Aburi hako which is pressed salmon oishi w/ fried prawn inside, it was delicious. I had ordered it once before as take away but it tasted better at the restaurant. We also ordered red dainamaito fried prawn, avocado, cucumber w/ soy paper and spicy tuna on top..Also delicious as love rolls with soy paper. Then we ordered Hojicha Opera Cake for dessert which had black sesame, need I say more? A fabulous meal as definitely plan to go back frequently to try more items from their menu, the restaurant is very pretty also. Don't let the construction on West Broadway deter you as it's worth checking this out, it's a very popular restaurant as was packed on a weeknight.

Tozen Sushi Bar is a casual yet pretty fancy looking sushi restaurant in Fairview. Had a casual catch up with friends during weekdays and place was decently full. Tldr; it's a pretty nice place for good quality sushi that's still relatively affordable, with good options for both traditional and more fusion take on sushi. Beef Yaki Udon ($16) 5/10 A pretty standard soy based with beef, mushrooms, and onion. I did note that give pretty nice amount of topping but nothing memorable taste-wise. Negi Kanpa Hama ($24) 6.5/10 Negi hamachi and kanpachi, kani stick, avocado, and cucumber. Very light, bright taste. Good quality of fishes but for hamachi I think I like them better in nigiri. The Volcano ($23) 7/10 Spicy tuna, cream cheese, cucumber, and extra spicy tuna on the top. An unexpected favourite given how I don't usually enjoy cream cheese in my sushi, however they surprisingly added enough hot sauce to for the roll to feel 'spicy'.

Every time I come, I can feel the professionalism and attentiveness of the staff. From seating to ordering, and then to the care during the meal, everything is done with great finesse, making me feel comfortable and at ease. The unique politeness and meticulousness of Japanese service are naturally reflected here. The food is also a reason I want to come back. Whether it's the freshness of the ingredients, the presentation, or the taste, you can feel the attention to detail. Japanese cuisine emphasizes the quality of the ingredients themselves, and Miku presents this refinement beautifully. Every dish is pleasing to the eye and has a layered flavor. I also love the ambiance. The overall design is simple, elegant, and has a very comfortable Japanese aesthetic. The lighting, seating, and spatial layout all create a relaxing atmosphere without feeling overly decorated; instead, they have a high-quality feel. As for the atmosphere, I think it's what makes this place so special. Elegant and quiet, yet not too formal, it's suitable for dates or enjoying a good meal with friends. Sitting there slowly eating and chatting makes the whole dining experience particularly comfortable. After several visits, I still feel that Miku is a restaurant worth returning to again and again. It's not just because of any one dish, but because the service, cuisine, environment, and atmosphere combine to create a very pleasant experience every time I come.

As we entered, it's exactly as others have described - very tiny, homely and quaint. We were seated immediately, were given menu's and instructed to order at the front counter when ready. Once we ordered and paid, the food probably took less than 7 minutes to come out - so quite fast. I tried both the Omu Curry Rice with Pork Cutlet and the Omu Hayashi Rice with Nikomi Hamburger Patty. Both looked very home-cooking style dishes, but in a good way that is very different from what you can find in a Japanese restaurant in Vancouver. Flavours were good, the portion sizes were generous and the prices were reasonable. Staff were very friendly. They made sure so thank us before we went out the door. Overall, a very pleasant experience. I liked the food, and always supportive a hard-working family. I'd come back again.

I would recommend chicken or shrimp if you want a protein. I had the tonkatsu (pork) which was a little tougher. The thinly sliced pork with cheese inside was the best bite I had. I also enjoyed the katsu nabe but the soup does affect the texture of the fried pork. There was also unlimited rice, cabbage salad, and sesame sauce here. Amazing!

My hubs and I vacationed in Vancouver a few weeks ago in late April. We had seen the long lines for dinner at Saku when we were here more than a year ago. So, we decided to give them a try for a late lunch around 2pm on a Wednesday afternoon. No wait. We got seated right away. We liked how spacious and airy the dining room was. 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. My hubs' curry sauce was served on the side so he could pour out as much or as little as he wanted. All in all, it was a very pleasant and satisfying meal. Saku is top notch for katsu. You won't believe how good katsu can be until you try it.

Each piece gets torched over charcoal which gives it this smoky, melt-in-your-mouth quality, and the specialty sauces mean you don't even reach for the soy (they will also say to your face not to, so unless you want to endure their judgement--which my husband happily does--I'd stay away from soy sauce for the aburi. Their salmon oshi is well known, I love the ebi oshi the most but definitely get both and decide for yourself. The whole menu delivers though, from the sashimi to the rolls to the cocktails, all of it beautifully plated without feeling fussy. The space is nice too, took a big group of family here once after an event and they all loved it. And if you're here in the summer ask about the garden patio out back. It's an elevated experience but never stuffy. Perfect for a date night or when you want to treat yourself. Reservations are a good idea because it fills up. Easily one of my favourite spots in Yaletown though!

I made reservations about 4 months in advance. Upon arrival, one of the hostesses opened the door for us, and asked us to wait in a very ornate waiting area. We only waited a couple of minutes before another hostess seated us at the main seating area. The space is very dark, and only lit with candles while the rest of the diners trickled in. During that time they take drink orders, which is limited to sake, wine, beer and a few non-alcoholic drinks. Of note, they don't provide a drink menu, so we were a little surprised by the cost - the yuzu sake and the plum wine were $30 each. My non-alcoholic drink was $12, but a fair size. The theatrical portion started a few minutes later than the official start time - closer to 6pm. The shades lifted, the lights turned on, and the chefs introduced themselves. And from that moment on, they immediately went to work preparing our meal. They operate like clockwork to show the ingredients whole to the diners, and then preparing them, and serving them. Soon as the one dish was completed by all the diners, the next round came shortly after. Over 20+ dishes, there was very little wait time in between each. Each time a dish was served, a hostess was there to describe the dish and provided tips on how best to eat it. The food was overall was very good. I thought a few items were very average, most of them were very good, and a select few were truly outstanding. Most of the ingredients are imported from Japan, so I would imagine that it's part of the reason it's so expensive. This is definitely a splurge meal. I think half the diners at our sitting was celebrating a birthday. On the most part, the food is very good, watching the chefs at work is part of the entertainment, and the service is excellent.

Once we narrowed it down to dry sake, our server kindly brought over several bottles and gave us a detailed explanation of each one before we made our choice. Lunch consisted of around 15 courses, with most served nigiri-style. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and I loved the thoughtful combinations of flavors and textures throughout the progression. Each piece felt distinct without trying too hard to be complicated.The experience finished beautifully with ice cream and matcha--a simple, elegant ending to a memorable meal. Absolutely worth the drive from Seattle. This wasn't just lunch; the intimate setting, pacing, presentation, and hospitality made the whole experience feel special from beginning to end.
