Review from Kat S.

Mmmhmmm, my new fave lunch sushi place. I've been here twice now, and it is superb. Thanks to my usual being closed on Mondays I ended up here a few weeks ago.
The salmon is all wild, so I don't have to shun the salmon rolls, meaning I can eat way more combos! I had the spicy combo for lunch today, and it was huge, and wonderful. I'm not normally a fan of mayo, but there was some sort of spicy sauce on top that looked like mayo, but tasted good. Not overly mayo-y.
The gomae is good, and came in a big portion. Not my favourite gomae ever, but still quite nice.
Another time I had a bento box. Now those are a good deal. Try one. The food was excellent, and the value is killer, especially at lunch. I was stuffed when I left.
The space is teeny tiny, but oh-so-cute. Nice staff, and a really pleasant atmosphere. Geoff is right about the tea, though. A little bland.
Definitely a good choice in Marpole if you are looking for sushi. -

Yami has been around for some time, but within the past few months it has come under new management. I never tried it under the old owners, so I thought now would be the time to give it a shot. I walked in from the cold for an early dinner to a fairly spartan and clean room, devoid of other patrons. The attentive hostess had me seated immediately and some hot (but sort of bland) tea on my table within seconds. Next time, I'm bringing my stop watch.
Prices were pretty decent so I ordered my usual sushi feast. The tuna roll was as good as any I've had, succulent and buttery. The salmon nigiri was a generous slab over a (not too sticky) ball of rice. My dragon roll was a bit of a surprise because I didn't read the menu very carefully; I was expecting basically an inside out kappa roll with avocado and eel on top (and hopefully some tempura prawns inside with the cucumber, but I understand that not every place does this), dressed with some mayo. What I got was a California roll with eel on top drenched with mayo and sprinkled with roe.
It was pretty good, but not as good as what I would consider the standard dragon roll, which looking at the takeout menu is listed as a white dragon roll. People who aren't a fan of mayo should avoid it entirely.
Red Tuna, one black south still has my heart out of the Granville strip sushi bars, but Yami's tuna roll at least made me pause and reconsider.Listed in: Marpole
