This is our go to sushi place. It's always fresh, consistent and reasonably priced compared to the competition in the area. Their Salmon Avocado Roll, Avocado Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll, Gyoza and Miso we have on a regular basis and it's never been disappointing. read more

I ordered takeout and was surprised at how fast the food was prepared! They are very efficient here! I ordered a yam roll, spicy tofu roll, and veg Gyoza. I got one soya sauce packet and barely weak spicy sauce. There was tons of ginger and wasabi! Thank you! The yam roll was warm good. The tofu roll was soft tofu (I am not a fan but if there was more spicy sauce - it could be a hIt). The Gyoza was good until I found a long black hair. No bueno! Prices are good but based on hair, will not be returning! read more

Yamato Sushi Restaurant - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

They have advised falsely on DoorDash. Buy one get one free. When I received the order, they sent just one order. There was no second free one. I am very disappointed with this service and will not order again. read more

My friend and I were craving some sushi. She suggested this restaurant. Took a bit of searching but eventually we found it and had a great meal. Tons of what you would expect from a sushi restaurant. My only real downer from it is that special rolls were all priced the same at $12.50. Alas, plenty of other options for a cheap and filling meal. That aside, our meal was great. Portions were sized nicely overall and tasty. Their spicy chopped scallop rolls were a lot better than I expected. Not the overwhelming bit of spiciness that you would expect from spicy rolls. Loved their Crunch and Sakura rolls too. Standouts for me and would like to have them again. Enjoyed my meal very much here. I'll definitely consider coming back another time for dinner or even doing takeout from here. read more

recently ordered from Yamato Sushi in Vancouver, attracted by their buy-one-get-one offer on the menu. However, I was extremely disappointed when my order arrived, and I only received one item instead of the promised two. This is false advertising and incredibly misleading. When I called to address the issue, the staff was unhelpful and dismissive, offering no resolution. The quality of the sushi was mediocre at best, making the whole experience even more frustrating. I won't be ordering from here again and wouldn't recommend it to others. Poor service and deceptive promotions are a deal-breaker. They even forgot to put chopsticks in the bag! read more

Ordered from uber eat , the fish was past due and smelled like death . I knew something was wrong at the second after opening the boxes. I called them to let them know , the girl clearly didn't care and wanted to give me 1 free roll " for the next time " bru , there's no next time . I want a full refund i didn't touch anything. Its all in my trash now . Never again Again , the attitude of the person on the phone is the reason why i am not letting this go .. bad fish , bad waitress or else .. Update : no one contacted me , the clearly don't care about their customers. No refunds , nothing . read more

Yamato Sushi Restaurant - Disrespect - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Good sushi at a price that cant be beat! I was downtown in Vancouver for a few days and needed to get my sushi fix in while I was here. I went to a few other places here and they were great but all very expensive. Just to get 12 pieces of maki would cost me over 40 and that's without any alcohol. I ran upon this little hole in the wall however and was quite surprised. Nice and clean and very good tasting food. For just $12 I got a full plate of maki that was extremely filling along with miso soup and a small salad. I definitely will be coming back tomorrow for lunch! read more

Horrible first impression. I recently ordered from this location through Uber Eats for myself and a friend who is celiac. We called ahead to verify what was gluten-free and went ahead with our order, also making notes on the order describing the allergy. Upon arrival, the order contained gluten. We called the restaurant to learn what we could do, and they failed to apologize, were very rude, and repeatedly hung upon us. We never received any compensation or explanation from the restaurant. I would not recommend this location if you have any allergies. read more

Didn't pack the miso soup that should've come with my order, and their "crunch" roll had nothing crunchy, it was like a soggy California thing and it was not good at all. Super unimpressed and never ordering this again. read more

Tiny little place on Davie Street, this place offers lots of items on their menu. You must not judge the place from the outside! Today we tried the Toro Sashimi, Wild Salmon Sashimi, scallop magma roll, & Yamato Roll. Yummy in my tummy. At the time we were there their Visa machine was not working. So, plan accordingly and bring Money just in case. I just wish they had more tables. I would of loved to dine inside. read more

I've been going to Yamato for years now, primarily due to their location, but also because of their prices. Very afforbable sushi here. I noticed that there has been a recent decline in the quality of their sushi (had some bones in my salmon sashimi) but it's still very fresh-tasting and the portions are quite generous. The restaurant itself is very tiny and does not make for a comfortable dining experience, so I usually stick with take-out. They make the best gomae I've ever had and I really like their bento box dinners when I'm in the mood for less traditional sushi offerings. However, I usually get sashimi and/or their chef's special rolls. The maple roll is amazing - I get this one every time! read more

This is my go to sushi restaurant for takeout. I love the agedashi tofu and the BC rolls. Sashimi is always great too. I have tried the real crab Cali rolls but not sure they're worth the extra. Always quick and always friendly on pickups. read more

I put in an order for pickup and asked the woman on the phone to repeat my order back to me, but she didn't speak English very well and didn't understand what I asked so after I tried several different ways I gave up. She said it would take 20 minutes. I showed up in 20 minutes and ended up waiting for another 30, so what was supposed to be 20 minutes was actually almost an hour. I asked about it several times. Meanwhile Door Dash people were coming and going. When I finally got my order and took it home everything that was supposed to be hot was cold. It had obviously been left sitting around. Also, the spring rolls were missing. I called the manager to complain and she gave me a credit for the yams. The teriyaki chicken was good after I reheated it. The agdashi tofu was bland and soggy. The yams were of course soggy and cold. I expected the sunomono to be a cucumber salad but it turned out to be noodles. I will admit, I ordered from here once before and it was quite good. read more

Once again I relied on Yelp reviews to bring me to a decent sushi place in downtown. Little did I know, they make the GROSSEST sushi on earth. Trust me don't go there. Sashimi were not fresh. Small place with no AC. I was so mad, I barely ate and left them with a small tip (very unusual of me) I know it's not the servers fault but still. read more

Wow this place is cute. I stumbled in here on a Sunday evening based on their yelp reviews and stellar prices and I was pleasantly surprised. There was almost a line out the door (the place is tiny!) but when I asked for a seat there was plenty of room, seems like they do a handful of Togo orders. I sat at the counter facing the street. There was also a sushi bar, making this place perfect for parties of small numbers. Menu is a place mat in front of you. Take it away from here. All of the rolls looked amazing but my small wallet pinched for one of the specials. Special E was a tuna, salmon, avo, and cucumber roll. I also got miso soup a small salad and green tea. All for around $10. You cannot beat this. The fish was decent. I can't say it was the freshest fish I had ever had but I ended up picking apart the salmon roll to put In the avo roll - creativity! Everyone in the restaurant was SO sweet. They did not neglect anyone and were timely on bringing food. I would come back to visit, this is for sure. read more

Yamato Sushi Restaurant - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

My go-to sushi place. It's cheap, fairly fresh, consistent quality. A no frills kind of place and you know what you're getting. I often go for the sushi combo A which includes miso soup, tuna maki, california roll and yam tempura roll which puts you at $10 and is quite filling. The tempura is good too, nice light batter. I've tried other rolls and they are exactly what one would expect. Mindblowing? No. Good comfort food? Yes. They do a lot of take-out esp at dinnertime so best to call in advance or else you may be waiting 20+ minutes! read more

Came here for a quick bite. We had an assortment of sashimi and one specialty roll. It was quick and efficient and the fish was fresh. There was nothing really negative about this restaurant to receive only 3 stars however the sushi was not the best I've tasted. Definitely a quick lunch spot rather than a dinner date kind of place. read more

Ok lets start this off with I have been going there for years, and never reviewed it just because i told everyone with ears about this place... SO YES EVERYONE. EVERY SINGLE PERSON I HAVE SENT THERE HAS COME BACK SAYING IT WAS FANTASTIC ... SOME HAVE EVEN SAID BEST SUSHI THEY HAVE EVER HAD!!!! Its a tiny place, the grilled eel will knock your socks off. Everything else iv ever order there has been delicious aswell. HIGHLY RECOMMEND :D read more

Ah, Yamato, it's always there for me when I need it. I've been coming here for years. Decent quality rolls and appies are ok as well. The price is actually very good compared to most places downtown. Most places that are cheap have poor quality, but this place is actually good. They are very quick on the phone if you order pickup, so just tell them what you want, give them the phone number, and hang up, because they are usually very busy. I don't stay on the phone with them longer than 10 seconds. The staff sometimes might sound like they are mad at you or something, but don't worry, they are actually really nice. read more

Dirt freaking cheap. Fresh and delicious. What more could you want out of a sushi restaurant? While I no longer live 3000+ miles from Vancouver and it's now just a 2.5 hour drive, I still wish Yamato was closer to me... like in the same country or... next door. I would go here every day if eating raw fish every day were acceptable. I visited a friend in Vancouver back in March and he took me straight here. We glutinously ordered over 30 pieces of sashimi and two special rolls (I'm sorry I can't remember their names, but they were good!). The salmon sashimi just melts in your mouth, the cuts are THICK, and it is ridiculously cheap. They also offer brown rice!! That's always a plus in my book. PS. Serious hole-in-the-wall alert. Our table of 5 probably took up half the restaurant. Woops! read more

You definitely get a good bang for your buck here. Well in terms of satisfying your hunger for sure. The 5.95 deals for sushi, which I had, is a great deal. And the bento box deals looked great as well. When it comes down to the sushi it's okay. Definitely a good place. If I lived in the city I'm sure I would take advantage of the opportunity at cheap sushi now and then, but if you are visiting from out of town there are much better sushi places to check out, and even reasonably priced ones. I would recommend one that uses wild sockeye salmon. I had the combo B, with the BC Roll (salmon skin), yam roll, and salmon maki. The Yam roll was actually one of the best yam rolls I've had. The yams were mushed up and that contrasted with the crispy tempura bits nicely. Typically the yam rolls I've had in the past use chunks/slices. Not sure if they made it this way on purpose, but either way I liked it best. The salmon skin roll was interesting, and I liked trying it out because we don't have it at home! read more

Yamato Sushi Restaurant - Sushi Combo B (BC Roll (salmon skin), Yam Roll, Salmon Maki) for 5.95 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Long story short, this is a pretty middle of the road Sushi joint. I ordered the Sushi Combo (8.95) that came with a Yam Tempura Roll, a BC Roll, and a Salmon Maki. The tempura batter was nice and crispy though I found the salmon skin on the BC Roll was a bit oily for my liking. The Salmon in the Maki was just alright though... The sushi combos come with a side of that Green Salad and Miso Soup that you usually get. Service was alright though read more

Delicious food - the best avocado nigiri I have ever had! Good range of food to choose from, generous portion sizes too, even for someone with a huge appetite like mine! Small and cramped though, lots of hustle and bustle, definitely not a place to have a quiet night out. Eat your food and go! Or get a take out like most people seem to, judging by the hangers around on the sidewalk. Recommended though! read more

I've eaten A LOT of sushi in my life, multiples times a week, every week, so for me to say this could be THE WORST SUSHI I've ever had is a big deal. I've never had a rainbow roll smothered in mayo & sauce. The salmon cone, which should be very simple had random crispy things in there...why?? The sashimi was INEDIBLE! It smelled terrible and each piece was about 2 inches thick, that is not tasty/desirable/or how sushi should be done. We took a bite of the sashimi and closed the box. It was honestly disgusting. It was just all bad, it didn't even feel like I was eating sushi. read more

Yamato Sushi Restaurant - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

In the great land of cheap sushi that is Vancouver, paying under $10 for 20-odd pieces of sushi is common. Right near Yamato is Umeda, which gives you three rolls of your choice (from a selection of 30) and miso soup for $6.60 if you get takeout. Now, when you compare how limited Yamato's combo options are in light of this other one, that's several points docked right there. I must concede that the quality of their rolls is overall decent. The spicy tuna rolls were disappointing because they weren't spicy at all, but Bill's roll (yam and smoked salmon) was yummy. Altogether we paid $19 for 5 rolls. Not the best value for money in terms of Vancouver sushi takeout, not the worst. read more

Highly recommended read more

Good sushi, reasonably priced. Takeout only now though, no dine in available as of October 2022 (not sure when this started).

if you ain't got no money take your broke ass home or to sushi yamato... is what I would say a couple months ago. see before, you could get a salad, soup, and three rolls for $7.75 BUT! if you order pick up it doesn't come with the salad. nbd, however I wasn't informed that over the phone. I even asked the chick if it still came with a salad + soup, because it's been a while since I've been there, and she said ya. and they had a price increase of $1.25 so appeal wore off: 1) not dirt cheap anymore 2) rolls aren't that great - I was disillusioned cuz it was dirt cheap 3) chick lied to me read more

Yamato Sushi Restaurant - Special set C - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Hands down the best sashimi and sushi for the price - and honestly, it's better than most expensive sushi in Vancouver. My boyfriend and I are OBSESSED with how thick, tasty, and fresh the salmon sashimi is! At any other place the bill would easily be $50+ for maybe 3 rolls with some sides, but we go nuts and pay less than that. Great value and soooo good! Just make sure it's all takeout because there's no room to sit. read more

Winner, winner sushi dinner. The best little sushi spot in downtown Vancouver. What they lack in size they make up for in creative rolls and generous fresh sushi and quick service.
