I am a regular patron of this restaurant and have been coming to this place around once every 2 weeks for the past few years. Decided to write a review for this great Japanese restaurant.
Tsukiji Japanese Restaurant is a Japanese restaurant primarily focused on sashimi (raw food) robata (grill goods) and a higher end Japanese experience. If you are looking for rolls and sushi, this might not be the place for you.
The servers here are great and are willing to listen to complaints and suggestions. Just note that this place is owned by a Chinese owner and servicing should NOT be judged from a western perspective.
Always ask the server for the selection of fish of the day as those fishes are always better off than requesting for assorted sashimi. They also have MANY other dishes outside of the regular menu, so asking would allow for a much better experience.
Price-wise, it depends on what you order. Overall, this is among the higher-end of Japanese Restaurants in the region. -

Pretty tasty Japanese restaurant with very fresh fish (which i would hope is a given) as it's named after the most famous, largest fish market in Japan.
Prices are reasonable and the sashimi, to the specialty dishes (which change depending upon what's available), to their noodle/rice dishes are all very good. I was only ok with the rolls though, these weren't the best that i've had and are on the smaller end.
In addition to standard seating, the restaurant as areas around the edges if you want to have some privacy. Some of these have the more traditional "tatami" seating - so if you want this experience (or don't want it), i would call ahead and specify. It's generally a good idea to make reservations here as well. -

I think this could be one of the better sushi restaurants in Richmond! I came here with my family and all of us left feeling satisfied.
We ordered the Assorted Sashimi, Nabeyaki Udon, Grilled Salmon Head, and the Assorted Sushi. The quality of the sashimi was really good, fresh and juicy. The grilled salmon head was also tasty- perfectly crisped on the outside. It did not taste super fishy as well (which was good). The assorted sushi was, in my opinion, a little pricey. There were 8 pieces of nigiri sushi and one roll of tuna maki. The portions were not particulary generous and I wished they included a california roll or something. The Nabeyaki Udon was nothing special- the soup was a little too sweet (a little strange) and the udon noodles were a little overcooked. I don't think I would order this again.
The service here was very good. Cups were never empty and food came promptly. The waitresses could also adequately answer specific questions about the menu and gave some good suggestions.
Prices are pretty reasonable- I would definitely come back again but I will phone for reservations beforehand as it surprisingly filled up quite fast! I am quite disappointed that don't open for lunch though! -

Chirashi (raw fish on rice) was of very poor value. $18 was too much for limited amount of fish we got.
Cold sake of similar size in the $30+ range while other restaurants with better quality charge $17.
Very noisy and despite the new Japanese chef from the late Yoshi in downtown, quality was not impressive at all.
Tempura soba with decent tempura but soup base tastes like plain water!
Would never go back, pricey for what you get. -

Possibly the best japanese food I've ever had period. I came here with a foodie guru - the owner and all the waitresses knew this guy and were out to impress him. I don't know if everything he orders came from the menu but here's what we had: beef sashimi, a seafood/cucumber salad, geoduck wrapped in seaweed, salmon/hamachi/tuna/amaebi sashimi, chopped scallop roll (hotato & tobiko maki), dynamite roll, tekka maki, spider roll, oysters, fatty pork, ginormous prawn tempura, katsudon, oyakodon, monkfish liver (ankimo), rack of lamb, and I don't even know if I'm forgetting something. Bottom line, we were given top of the line service and quality of food probably above and beyond what is normally had. So on that note, nearly every dish that was brought out was 5 star. The beef sashimi was perfect, the sushi was fresh even the amaebi which was the first time I tried raw shrimp, the tempura were huge, the ankimo were tasty even though I normally don't like liver, and the rack of lamb was excellent. I've googled this place and there are some pretty mixed reviews on it but I think if you know what to order, this place would get a lot more love. Also, food was not overly expensive - pretty standard fare for a japanese restaurant and I felt like I was eating food that should've costed twice as much as it read on the menu.
