1. Sushi Mart
Vancouver, BC V6G 1C7
(604) 687-2422
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: West End
You don't expect to order first, sit at a long communal table second and get a free miso soup third, but that's exactly what you get. (it may not be proper English I'm using, but I speaketh the truth!)
Modern, clean and bright with Wild Salmon being…More »
2. Miko Sushi Japanese Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6E 1C6

Neighbourhood: West End
How lunch time sneaks up on me, I don't know. But I found myself ravished and craving some sushi time. I rocked up to the (sushi) bar and quickly ordered a bento box.
I was pleasantly surprised with the toro for sure! It did melt in my mouth (said…More »
3. Yuji's Japanese Tapas - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6J 1N3
(604) 734-4990
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
What a flavourful frenzy I went on:
Kiwi Roll - thin slices of fruity sweetness on the outside? So unexpected!
Prosciutto Roll - only cream cheese on the inside? No way!
Mexican Roll -think mini fajitas - could skip it.
Wild Sockeye Salmon Tataki - so…More »
4. The Eatery
Vancouver, BC V6R 2B4
(604) 738-5298
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
When people come to Vancouver and scream "I want sushi!" before we've even left the airport, I take them here. I can't help myself. I like to shock them :)
If I lived in the neighbourhood, the Eatery would likely be my late night take out haven.

5. Sushi Osaka
I think Osaka was missing me. I hadn't been in ages (so many good sushi places in town and a dirt cheap one right across from Osaka) and the owner called me out on it! Asked where I'd been *blush.* Well, truthfully, it has really been bothering me…More »

I live right around the corner from Osaka - so convenience wise, this place wins my vote. I go there… Read more »
6. Sushi Turn House
Size may not usually matter -- but it is the reason why you'd find yourself in this cash only, sushi stop. It may not be that beautiful, but its plentiful --with $1 salmon nigiris that are the size of a udon noodle soup spoon.
The rolls are very…More »
7. Kadoya Japanese Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6E 1M5
(604) 608-1115
Categories:
Japanese,

Neighbourhood: West End
The princess roll! Eggplant, yam tempura.. sauce... You won yourself a 4th star for that. Next time though, I have to make sure I'm not just scarfing down a working lunch. With 2 pages full of creative rolls, a group of creative sushi lovers is…More »

8. Downtown Sushi Bar Japanese Restaurant

(604) 689-2833
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: West End
I was asked to meet someone here for a working lunch. Not my first, second or third choice for the neighbourhood. But my working date likes it so I went along.
Blah! Wimpy pieces of nigiri salmon --they claim to have sockeye --but it's definitely not…More »
9. Michi Sushi - CLOSED

Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Well, well Mr Michi,
You're winning my fourth star for your 3 for $7.50 combo which brings each roll down to $2.50 a piece.
Bonus points for having a stamp card (now I just have to buy 8 more combos and my 10th one is free) and for such sweet…More »

If we were going on concept alone, they'd get my 5 star. I first saw this in Australia years ago -… Read more »
10. Wild Sushi
Vancouver, BC V6S 2E9
(604) 568-9668
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Dunbar-Southlands
Let this be a lesson to you - "wild" sushi does not mean sustainable sushi! (Actually, I knew that ;p )
Dark slate floors, bricks, and deep green paint has transformed the former Longhouse Seafood Market into a pretty standard sushi place with a nicer…More »
11. The One Japanese Restaurant - CLOSED
Food and service wise, this "new" restaurant which takes the place of Saiz-z, teeters between a 2 and a 4 star.
Well meaning creative rolls with papaya, tuna and avocado combos make your mouth water just thinking of the explosions of flavour.…More »
12. Honjin Yaletown Sushi Restaurant

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
The rating scales slid back and forth, back and forth, back and forth but in the end, I remain a fan.
5 stars- We arrive, are greeted with smiles and hellos, seated at the bar AND got a hot towel (love those)
2 stars- The menu is a bit difficult to…More »
13. Fumisen Sushi Cones
Okay, I admit it... I get tingly and a bounce joins my step whenever I think of street food. But this, this is EXACTLY what Vancouver/Richmond has been in serious need of.
Ladies, gentlemen, my fellow yelpers, I present to you the pick-your-own sushi…More »
14. Fujiya Japanese Foods
Vancouver, BC V5L 3J8
(604) 251-3711
A bigger sunomono salad than I have ever seen at a restaurant and a shrimp california roll filled me up for lunch while I decided upon a smorgasbord of udon, soba and ramen noodles for my cupboards and freezer... yes freezer, they have fresh frozen…More »
15. Hiyori Japanese Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6Z
(604) 685-8381
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Downtown
For a sushi stuffing, without the AYCE chintz, Hiyori fills the bill. Skip over the mainstream rolls (although they're all discounted $0.25) and peruse the pictorial menu, full of large-rolling, delicious looking images with tastes to match!
We had…More »
16. Taiyo Sushi
Vancouver, BC V5L 3X3

Categories:

Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
The friendliest, freshest, funnest place for sushi? It's quite possible!
If your server (probably the owner) drops off a dish saying "enjoy life" smile! This is a happy place. If he leaves you a menu because you think you may order more saying "eat…More »
17. Jun Sushi Japanese Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6R 2B1
(604) 739-7181
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
A small take away kinda place, Jun's ramen, udon, teriyaki and yakisoba menu picks are a cooked food compliment to the wild salmon serving assortment of sushi. Reasonably prices and free parking to boot, it's a decent quick fix.
Being into cones…More »
