See All Lists
1. Toshi Sushi
Vancouver, BC V5T 4R2
(604) 874-5173
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant, Riley Park
I must add my voice to the cacophony of rave reviews. It is, simply put, really good authentic sushi. They even use the correct "Zushi" spelling in appropriate places on the menu!
We lucked out and only had to wait 15 minutes - it was worth it and I…More »
2. Miko Sushi Japanese Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6E 1C6
(604) 681-0339
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: West End
Miko makes small, perfectly crafted authentic Japanese sushi. Don't expect any "caterpillar" or "rainbow" rolls dripping with mayo, this is not the place to go for Westernized food! Instead you will get incredibly fresh fish, flavourful appies and…More »
3. Shiro
Vancouver, BC V5Z 2V9
(604) 874-0027
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
I am a sushi critic. It takes a whole freakin' lot to impress me, and I am easily turned off by dry rolls, creepy mayo based sauces all over everything and undercooked rice. We may have a lot of sushi in Vancouver, but that also means we have a lot…More »
4. Zipang Sushi
Vancouver, BC V5V 3N7
(604) 708-1667
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I can be quite the little sushi snob, and I am happy to say that I have a new place to add to my short list of sushi options!
Zipang is a wee little cafe with fun art on the walls and a really friendly Japanese staff. I popped in for lunch today and…More »
5. The Eatery
Vancouver, BC V6R 2B4
(604) 738-5298
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Oh, the Eatery. The sushi is fun, fresh and inventive and absolutely not authentic in any way. But that's ok when you have a menu filled with wild rolls and a cocktail list as long as my arm!
This is a GREAT place for a party or wacky get-together,…More »
6. Zakkushi
Vancouver, BC V6J 5L1
(604) 730-9844
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Until reading these reviews, I had no idea that Zakkushi actually had sushi on their menu! We arrived late, at 11pm, and were only given the yakitori and snackie menus. We had one miss and a lot of hits!
I loved the cozy wooden atmosphere - this seems…More »
7. Kanpachi
I am a picky sushi broad - and Kanpachi is solidly ok. Barely. I would never go out of my way to eat here, but it is literally 2 blocks from my house. On those days I am only willing to accept the tradeoff of "mediocre sushi/short walk" I grab a…More »
8. Shabusen Yakiniku House - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6H 3J6
(604) 737-6888
You need to be prepared. This sushi is not very good.
BUT... it is perfectly acceptable when you want to spend 20 bones on All You Can Eat and get a huge array of different bits and bites - a piece or two of nigiri, a couple of avocado rolls, a…More »
9. Nagano Japanese Restaurant
Meh. I've head better, and I have had worse.
While I don't mind paying premium prices for premium sushi, I feel like the prices did not match the quality, which was, well, meh.
The one extreme positive note was the salmon and tuna sashimi - extremely…More »
10. Sushiyama
Sure, it still tastes good and it's refreshingly cheap but I have to downgrade my review for a few reasons.
First - why on earth is this restaurant so dirty? Everytime I go to Sushiyama there is garbage on the ground - balled up dirty napkins wtf? If…More »

11. Koya Japan
I wish I could give no stars.
This was, bar none, the most disgusting fast food meal I have ever eaten. Up here on the SFU campus there are very few lunch choices, so I usually bring my own. But ttoday I decided to splurge with some teriyaki.
I chose…More »
12. Sake Maki
Vancouver, BC V5L
(604) 568-3632
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
I almost left here thinking that I had found a new decent sushi restaurant. Almost.
I onlu popped in for a really quick bite, as I remembered a pal mentioning their name and thought it might be worth a try because I needed to be at an appointment on…More »
