    Packages instant noodle (Shin brand) and charging $13 a bowl
    Stargaryen C.

    AVOID!!! I wanted to give this place a chance. There are so many other places in the area to grab a bite at which is much better! I ordered the Hangover Ramen and it was literally packaged Shin Ramen (the red Korean brand) with three pieces of hard, expired cardboard-textured pork (see photo) for $13. The girls working there are nice unfortunately the quality of food is bad!!

    VIP combo, disappointed with the lobster roll
    Jennie Y.

    Very disappointed with the level of service we experienced here last night. From the moment we walked in until we paid the bill, it was a constant battle to try and get anyone's attention for service. Not something I'd expect from a place with such beautiful ambiance. They also forgot about our miso soup. When we asked about it, they apologized and said they would comp them but they were already free anyway with their current promotion. Food was good but nothing really stood out. We ordered the VIP combo (lobster roll, rainbow roll, 2 pieces of salmon and tuna nigiri - $24), Lion King Roll (spicy tuna, avocado, yam tempura, spicy and mayo sauce - $7 I was told this is their most popular roll), takoyaki, and sunomono tako salad. We were disappointed with the lobster roll, the lobster meat was deep fried in tempura batter which ruined the freshness I was hoping for - in the end it tasted like your regular prawn tempura. If it weren't for the flow of sake, I would have left even more disappointed.

    Visited Oct 24, 2016. Unfortunately, we did not have a positive first experience at this new restaurant. Here's what I found lacking compared to other sushi restaurants: - no lunch specials - service was slow even with the restaurant about 30% full (our last dish came about 15-20 minutes after ordering, not ideal for a quick work lunch, we got the feeling they are still getting their operation down) - the Las Vegas roll was average at best, it is a California roll with a spicy Sriracha sauce (?) + panko flakes - Mirai tower was presented decently but took awhile to come out - spicy salmon and tuna sashimi came in small pieces, flavour was decent but the quality and quantity is much better at Sushi garden or Sushi California for the same price point - no plates provided upon arrival of sushi - no miso soup was provided as per their lunch sign on the sidewalk A positive note is that the decor is elegant but unfortunately not enough to pull us back for a return visit. I personally think they will have a hard time competing with Sushi Den and Tsuki Sushi Bar down the street.

    I am giving this restaurant 3.5 stars as their menu should be more unique and food is priced above average. However the food we ordered was made quite well. I especially loved the assorted tempura that has a sort of fluffy, light, crispiness to it. Highly recommend it and if you want a mix of Korean and Japanese choices this is good. Looking for drinks till late? They offer an extensive alcohol list and has both soju and sake and are open till 1 am on a Friday.

    Love & love roll. Not that bad

    Price was reasonable and food quality was awesome. I always eat sushi first to determine the food will be good or not. So far I got over 95% accuracy and here sushi was pretty great but not as Isami sushi. But in downtown, it is really hard to get really great sashimi skilled nigiri sushi. So glad that I could find this spot :) We ordered more sushi and pretty satisfied with tastes. Definitely will go back. However, their service was not quite good. My five star was given to only for food, not the service. I waited long time to get menu and even I asked for it. Tables are pretty empty but servers didnt know what to do. They need to increase service training or make some guideline for training. There was one server who looks like a manager did proper service. Thank you for her.

    The nigiri was excellent! We have been living in Calgary for a while so miss great Sushi and Mirai did not disappoint. The presentation is excellent, the fish was extremely fresh, and the staff are very friendly.

    My friends and I were looking for a place to eat and we found ourselves in front of Mirai sushi. Clean and aesthetic with good service. Not a bad place to try sushi they certainly have very nice dishes but they are a little overpriced. I probably would've gone with a 3.5 if I had the chance. But unlike most places, their veggie bento was delicious and filling with good portions and good choices. I'm pleasantly surprised and definitely recommend the veggie bento if you're not in the mood for sushi.

    Very friendly staff. Food was served very quickly. Fresh and very tasty. Usually in sushi restaurants you get a cup of tea with any meal but here I got a glass of water, kind of strange. The food was very good though and didn't leave me bloated.

Steep as it is, I decided I wanted a "quick little sushi lunch with a view", and a quick little sushi lunch with a few is exactly what I received. Although I don't recommend it, I walked right in from the street, no reservation, and was seated at the bar (in pretty casual street clothes I may add). I enjoyed a premium sake flight (which was fine...just fine), an old fashioned served with the perfect accompanying dark chocolate, and a good amount of sushi including their signature aburi style sushi in flight form and nigiri tuna flight (bluefin, chutoro, otoro). After visiting Japan last December, I'm a bit of an otoro snob but I have to hand it to them, all three of these cuts were perfect. The accompanying rice, perfection. The quality of the fish, divine. The view was the cherry on top of this experience. This will certainly be a spot I revisit next time I'm in Vancouver.

I completely understand that the space inside is limited, and waiting can be unavoidable. What made the experience less comfortable was not the wait itself, but the way it was communicated. Being asked to wait outside felt a bit cold and impersonal. In situations like this, a more friendly explanation, a small sign at the door, or even a simple system that lets customers know when to come back could make the wait feel much more considerate and human. Running a small restaurant is not easy, especially in today's economic climate. I truly believe that with a warmer, more customer-oriented approach, this place could do very well. This review is meant as a gentle suggestion, and I hope it's taken in that spirit.

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.

The oshi sampler (their signature pressed sushi) looked tidy and well-composed, and the textures were clean, though the flavors didn't quite pop the way I'd hoped. The roll we ordered was fine, nothing to write home about. Happy hour pricing makes this an accessible way to try Minami's menu.

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.
