We came here on a Monday evening for my birthday and I am not disappointed. I was quite surprised that the dining room was completely full and a long line for any table. It was very convenient that our reservation was honoured!

The atmosphere here is…More »

We have been coming to this restaurant for a long time and I truly love it. It is true that it can get really crowded at times but the cozy, small, and jam packed atmosphere is why I like it. The sushi bar is tiny....exactly the way it should…More »

This is good if you find yourself at Oakridge and 41st and want something to eat. This place is pretty cramped...but who cares, they have good sushi for a reasonable price! The portions are really pretty big and the quality is good, nothing to rave…More »

I really love the quality and cut of the fish here! This is easily the best sushi you can get in Richmond and the quality proves it! The Mirugai (geoduck), Uni (sea urchin's insides), and saba are fantastic sashimi choices (or you can just get a…More »

We come here for Saturday afternoon sushi all of the time. Why? The prices are fantastic, the quality is great, the service is above average.

This is one of the largest, cleanest, and well kept 'all you can eat' sushi places I have ever been to.

The service here is pretty quick. I have been to quite a few 'ace' sushi places in the Lower Mainland and this is one of my few favourites. They…More »

This place certainly looks quite a bit more inviting and cool from the outside.

The food here is kind of a disappointment. I honestly was pretty excited because I always have positive emotions before going into a restaurant. The food quality was ok…More »

Under 20 Bucks for 2 People! The Sushi quality was ok but nothing gets better than having a good lunch for under 20. I plan to be here more often.

Monday, in my mind,  is the best time to come to Daimasu. Their special is a 15 pc. sashimi boat for around 14.85 (around that). Add that to their large menu selection can definitely supply anything you want or need. The sashimi is fresh and…More »

We have been here a number of times when either of us is in the mood for a big bowl of noodles. Every time we have been here the experience has been great. It's not that the ramen is all that great. I know of a couple better places in Vancouver. I…More »

Sui Sha Ya is a quintessential all you can eat sushi place. It is a pretty big restaurant for sushi and usually has alot of drunk younger groups being quite loud. I can get over it, so we come from time to time. Sashimi is limited to just a couple…More »

If you are shopping at Superstore on No. 3 Road and desperately need to find a platter of something to take to a party or family event, this may be your place. The sushi quality is not all that high and the rice is so so..not a big fan. There is a…More »
