Review from Victoria J.
Vancouver, BC
1/13/2012
I've been going to this place for about 7-8 years, so the family running the place know me pretty well as a regular. Everybody there is extremely nice and always smiling.
The food: it's HUGE. 2 California roles elsewhere is equivalent to 1 California role at Sushi King. You won't need to order as much since the servings are so big. I'm pretty sure roles are supposed to be small, so I guess that makes Sushi King's not authentic Japanese, but most people probably care about the value and if it tastes good. (Most sushi restaurants in Vancouver aren't Japanese-runned anyway)
My point is, the food here is yummy and it's inexpensive. -

In terms of size, this is literally the KING of all sushi.... Also KING of F-quality food.
The fish is probably 10 days old because there's a gross after taste that I couldn't get rid of even after scrubbing my tongue.
Granted, it's cheap so I can't complain. And the house roll is literally as thick as my upper arm!!! Got maki combo A... I suggest sharing. Ate it all by myself and wanted to throw up afterwards.
In terms of location, props to them for being so close to Point Grey Secondary. Obviously targeting the hungry high school kids. -
Review from Edward L.
Sushi King House is one of the many wonderful dingy sushi hole-in-the-wall type places around town, and rightfully one of the more famous ones. Don't let the old neon lights scare you away.
Parking is available on the side streets, usually 37th or 38th Avenues.
Whenever I have a sushi craving but don't want to go more than 5 or 10 minutes out of the way, this is the place I call home.
They have the typical combos or whatnot, but what I usually do is order either Party Tray 1 or Party Tray 2 with a friend. For $22 taxes in, you both get to stuff your face.
The best part of the food selection? The sheer size of their rolls. I'm sure some of the ladies can attest to this, but Size Does Matter. Some of their rolls are the size of cake rolls. Yes it means you get plenty of rice, but to me this also guarantees I don't leave hungry (one of my biggest gripes about high-end restaurants).
The place seems to be family run (mom + dad + daughter), though I do question how the daughter (if this is the case) can help around so much without having her grades suffer? She looks like she's still in school. Service is decent, with the servers always smiling.
Dragon roll - the eel slices up top make it worth the extra few bucks.
Nigiri sushi (salmon and tuna) - pieces are cut a little too perfectly, looks like plastic. But tasted fine.
Salmon and tuna maki - they didn't pack these well. They were falling apart (unraveling) even before I could pick up a piece.
BC roll - lots of thick fish skin. Yum!
California roll - nothing out of the ordinary, other than their sheer size.
Alaska roll - More salmon goodness. They don't skimp on this one.
My only complaint is that the place closes a bit early at 2100, but for a 3-person operation, you can't really blame them. Oh, and it's cash only.
Seriously, where would I be without places like these..Listed in: 2011 Cheap & Tasty
