Excellent sushi & sashimi. Staffs & waitress provided great customer service! It is a chain and original restaurant is on West Broadway. I used to go there.

Food: Had the donburi rice bowl (had maize, lettuce and other stuff) with cha shu don (pork belly). It was so good and filling—worth the price. Atmosphere: The place is cozy. They have wordless music playing, which creates a relaxing atmosphere—I was relaxed. Service: The staff were welcoming and nice from entry till departure. If you’re looking for good Japanese cuisine, I highly recommend this place! Would surely be visiting again!

Vancouver is known for its sushi. Having lived in Japan, I must say that this was one of the best Japanese meals that I have had outside of Japan. The staff was lovely and the atmosphere was really nice.

A cute sushi shop that’s perfect for a low key date night. The staff were extremely friendly, the space was cozy, food was delicious and everything was well priced. We ordered a few rolls and a tofu salad. Everything was excellent.

Here we ordered the Aburi platter where we get 6 kinds of aburi and 6 pieces each. This was some of the best sushi I have ever had and the creative flavours mixed with how easy the sushi melts in your mouth. The sushi rice they use is amazing!

Close to the sea bus so it’s easy to walk too trekking from Vancouver. The atmosphere was nice it gave a comfort vibe I can imagine when it’s busy there it could get a little loud cuz it’s a small place and the table are a bit close to each other. So luckily I came in when it was busy and it was nice and quiet. The staff is very friendly and they check in on your during the meal. The food was delish! My partner and I really enjoyed it and we ate the whole platter that we ordered.
