I stopped in here for a quick sushi fix while house & dog sitting for my bff in this area. I have passed by numerous times and have been meaning to try it out.
whats so great about em?
GREAT PEOPLE work here! genuinely nice =)
i couldnt stay in to eat since i had the puppy with me, but i ordered a passion roll (salmon, mango & crab), wild salmon sashimi don & gommae. they have brown rice as an option here! which i wanted to try.. but for some reason, didn't. ha ha..go figure.
the rolls were good, the fish was fresh...my belly was satisfied =) -

I've come here a handful of times, and the food has been very tasty. The service, however, has not impressed me.
I stopped in for lunch with a friend, and it started out fine; we got tea and menus, and the server was prompt with taking our order.
My friend wanted rolls made with brown rice (availability was shown in the menu and on the wall), but when it was requested, the server replied with a curt "We don't have that". No explanation or apology. Whatever; they were probably just out of it for the day.
For some reason, they brought out my food very quickly, but took their time bringing my friend's food out. I finished my miso soup and a good portion of my meal before he got to eat (he's a fast eater or I would have waited for his to come ;)). After we were both done, we waited a good 10 minutes for the rest of his meal before he decided he didn't need it and we left (after paying, of course).
Not a horrible experience by a long shot, but there are many restaurants nearby that aren't as hit-or-miss. I have also heard stories about food being still frozen and the server not caring, and other situations I would rather not have to deal with. -

Mazuya Sushi looks like any number of "Mom and Pop" sushi places scattered around town, but I was in the nighbourhood and in the mood for sushi (which I frequently am), so I decided to give it a shot.
I should have known that this places was going to be different when the tea was delivered to my table almost before I had settled into my chair. On the wall is an impressive display of notes from patrons, talking about why they love the place.
But when my food came, I KNEW that this place is different: Mazuya is not the most expensive sushi place I have been to (nor the cheapest), but I can't remember the last time I was in a sushi place which took as much care with presentation. The Mazuya roll (which I ordered out of curiousity) arrived, arranged on its plate like a work of art. (And yes, it was tasty, too, and considerably more original than the "house special" rolls you see in most places.)
I don't often hang around this neighbourhood, but the next time I'm around there, I know where I'm going to be eating. -

To me, the best sushi place in Vancouver. The couple that runs the place are really nice. The sushi is just awesome. I will reccomend it to everyone. I love the place and my wife and I go there all the time

Most sushi to me is kind of plain tasting. Here they have a full page of "chef's special" rolls that all looked amazing. I had the vegas roll which was unagi tempura on top of another roll... YUM
And the guyoza which didn't have tough skin (don't like guyoza that does) that I really enjoyed too.
(The pictures supplied by Greg really show the place food off well... ) -

Meh. That's all I can say about Mazuya. The service was friendly, but slow -- took about ten minutes after we closed our menu before anyone took our order... and there was nobody else in the restaurant! Maybe that should have been a tip-off. The place was empty on a Saturday night at 7:30 p.m.
The gomae was slimey and barely had any peanut sauce on it. Tasted as if the spinach had just thawed.
Speaking of inappropriately thawed things, it was very obvious that the tuna (used in the tuna sushi) had just been thawed as well, because it was quite cold and, um, a little frozen in the middle! I also found the texture to be a bit slimey with a peculiar aftertaste.
On the bright side, they do have a brown rice option and they did an excellent job with it. Making rice for sushi is something of an art so making it with brown rice must be an extra level of artistry. The banana tempura was also good. Nothing to write home about, but a nice little post-dinner treat.
Won't be going back.
