You can't come to this city without going to a sushi joint. And there are many. This might take a while.

 1. Kadoya Japanese Restaurant

5.0 star rating

When I'm feeling up for some fancier sushi at a great price, I can easily count on Kadoya for consistently good good. It's apparently so good that my friend from the t-dot, who's only been here a week, has eaten at this establishment three times…More »

I picked up some take out from here tonight since I've passed by it so many times. The place has a really great atmosphere inside, despite the fact that it's in a part of downtown that might not get as much foot traffic. The waitress was extremely…More »

Stopped by here tonight since I was craving sushi. The place is small, diner-styles, but the menu is pretty straightforward since all it is is pictures on the wall with prices. Was really impressed with the value of meals here, a bento box for under…More »

I've gotten take out from here quite a few times now, and the fish is always fresh. A lot of their smaller rolls are very reasonably priced (alaska roll or tuna & avocado roll for $2.95). I love their sakura blossom roll (fresh crab meat, wild…More »

For izakaya that won't break the bank, Ebisu is a decent choice in a pinch. I like that it's right on Robson for that extra variety, and I like that it's got a lot more room than your nearby Guu restaurants, but this place is crazy noisy and dark,…More »

it would've been a two star had the Oishii roll not used actual crab meat. but they did, and it was delicious. their specialty rolls are smaller than at many other places (in fact, all portions are smaller, my wakame salad was pretty tiny for 3.50),…More »

I came here after passing by it a few times on Granville street, and curiousity finally got the better of me. I mean, how can you pass up a sushi dining experience with the feel of a lounge and massive screens showing the hockey game, and a ceiling…More »

Since I have a love for fancy sushi rolls, I stopped by here the other night after walking past the sign on Davie. The rolls are decently priced, similar to Kadoya's, but the rolls just don't compare. Despite the creativity in them, there's just too…More »

I came here for a dinner with a friend and I left $40 poorer and still hungry. The dinner prices seem really high for me, especially since the portions and quality aren't really up to par. I ordered a sushi salad, and there were so few pieces of fish…More »

Decent prices here for all you can eat, as well as regular food menu. I like that their AYCE has different tiers during dinner, so it can start as low as $22, but go as high as $27 (an option I'd truly consider since it has black cod). Either way,…More »

I tried out the sushi here as a take-out after Joshua N recommended it, and it did not disappoint. The place is small and quiet and hidden away beside a bunch of other stores, but I was determined to find it and try it out.

Normally I'd be a bit worried about places that have dual menus (in this case, Japanese and Vietnamese food), but Blue Sky proved to be decent and of good value. If you arrive after 8pm on a weekday, they have 20% off their entire menu, which is…More »

Dim Sum! (20)

I love dim sum. I will gladly wake up early on a weekend to go try a new dim sum place out. If you're lacking a vehicle like I am, then perhaps some of these places may interest you when you get a dumpling itch? If I can get there san-car, so can you!
