Reviews of Taka's Sushi (Park)

Alice Yu

We stopped here for lunch; very fresh fish, especially the eel (we recommend it). However, the rice was not sushi quality and the portions were too small for the prices.

bernard benson

Had lunch here. Ordered Tuna Tataki and waited around half an hour. No one told us the dish was discontinued for today until I asked. They didn’t even say sorry for let us waiting there for nothing. Will not come again.

We came to this place all the way from Vancouver west. Wouldn’t recommend it to people who live in Vancouver, it’s just average sushi that u can get in some of the sushi restaurants in Vancouver and Richmond. We were expecting good service with this price, ends up having no service at all.

Meow Cute

(Translated) The service is very good, foie gras and other grilled sushi are delicious. But the per capita two hundred is still too expensive, and it has not been delicious. (Original) 服务很好，鹅肝和其他炙烤寿司很好吃。但是人均两百还是太贵了，还没有好吃到这个份上。

I just ordered take out lunch from this place for the first time. I'll start with the positives which were firstly, the sushi rolls we ordered. They were good and the sushi rice especially was quite well done. I like the fact that they have asparagus offered in more than one of their rolls, the majority of which are interesting combinations. What I disliked about it was the seaweed substitute used on one of the larger rolls. The taste was strange. What gave this meal the 2 star rating was the following: I ordered hokkigai (surf clam) nigiri. Upon biting into one of the pieces, I discovered small coarse bits. Upon closer examination it turned out to be sand. Chewing sand for a few seconds really ruined my meal. I'm surprised the chefs didn't pay closer attention to this and I hope this doesn't speak for the general sanitary conditions in the kitchen area. Needless to say, I didn't pay for $40 to end up with a mouthful of sand. Will not be returning.

best uni, best ikura, and best seared nigiris (especially seared scallop) ????

Lloyd Go

Food was pretty good (not stellar at price point but surprised to get level of freshness and variety in White Rock) BEWARE of chef recommendation without disclosure of market price (should have known better w hard sell). Midway through meal was told that there was a uni from Japan that I should try...see photo of two peice uni nigiri (did look amazing and was smaller than usual West Coast uni) - but to my horror when I paid the bill，was charged close to $60 for the two peices alone...also after ordering bluefin toro on the menu, was told that they only sell "aged" version at the moment and that it would cost 30% more and that it would taste much better because it had been aged for 9 days, they also told me they were losing lots of money on it because they had to cut away oxidized outer (which I do not doubt if it is like beef)；first time encountering this in Japanese restaurant...can't say the aged version was much better than chu toro bluefin I've had elsewhere - all in all would have preferred greater transparency...

Grace

The price is on the high end but the younger server was very friendly. I am not sure what happen but the place look a bit run down and there were only two people( one in the kitchen one serving) in the whole restaurant.

Freesia

I used to frequent Taka's on a weekly basis until the restaurant had changed owners, Chef Taka had sold this joint to a brand new owner. After the change, the portions become smaller and the rolls weren't as consistent as they use to be. The waiting staff (younger female/male) in the restaurant weren't as attentive nor friendly as the older lady with the short hair that used to work there. The last straw was when I had ordered take-out and it taken 30 minutes longer than they had estimated which to some people that is nothing but I had a meeting that evening to attend to and I was extremely late. The restaurant was much better before the change - I'm sad that Chef Taka had sold the place and it went downhills.

Super fast and tasty. Pick up was ready in 30 min. I ordered Aloha papaya and caterpillar rolls. Both really good, and ingredients were fresh and high quality.

David Jeng

Up sell .. Beware We asked the waiter to choose 12 piece of sushi fou us and he choose the most expensive ones for us without consulting us about the price .. We paid $80 for 12 pieces of sushi. We ended up going to another restaurant after we has the sushi as appetizers.. Now for the rich people... The sushi was heavenly ... Best I ever had .. But I am too poor to afford this luxury ..

Noah Li-leger

Great food. Definitely coming back when I'm in the area.

Food is good but not amazing considering the high price. There are plenty of other choices at this price level ($150 per person) for delicious Japanese sushi dishes.

Elsy Chow

To talk about the most famous sushi restaurant in Vancouver, some people would say it is Miku or Black Rice. But for me, Taka Sushi should be on the list. There are not many choices of food in this restaurant, only sashimi, sushi and aburi sushi. Many Japanese restaurants in Vancouver not only provide sushi but also provide ramen or rice to meet visitor’s expectations since the fierce competition in Vancouver catering service. However, Taka Sushi only provides customers sashimi and sushi! It can be seen that Taka Sushi has confidence in its own sushi dishes! I personally think people must try their aburi sushi. Compared with other Aburi Sushi restaurants, Taka pays more attention to the taste of the ingredients, so the flavor of the seasoning will be lighter. I especially recommend the wagyu aburi sushi. The wagyu beef has a strong oily aroma, and it is very fragrant when paired with rice with a touch of sushi vinegar! The price of this restaurant is a bit expensive to me. The price of aburi sushi is calculated by piece. The price of one piece Wagyu aburi sushi is about 10 dollars. A good meal for two people might need more than 200 dollars.In addition, the air-conditioning temperature in the restaurant is too low, and the meal time is a bit slow. If you want to come over to taste, remember to bring an extra coat!

Dave Manuel

Food excellent, but service might needs improve.. Just be more patience while customer are ordering... If staffs busy, we can wait or find others help us.

Pricy, great aburi nigiri, rolls were normal

I've eaten a lot of sushi in my life, and Taka is hands down the best quality I've ever had! The selection alone is worth it, and it's all masterfully prepared. Well worth a trip!

(Translated) Taka's Susan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ praise! The bluefin tuna mid-belly and big-belly sushi???? is simply amazing! The salmon and tuna sashimi are also sweet, without the fishy smell of the fish! The eel on the Dragon roll is also very authentic! Matcha tea ???? is also good. (Original) Taka's Susan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐好评！ 蓝鳍金枪鱼中腹和大腹的寿司????简直太棒了！ 三文鱼和金枪鱼生鱼片也是甘甜的，毫无屯子里的腥臊味！ Dragon roll上鳗鱼的蒲烧酱也是很正宗！ 抹茶茶????也不错。

Food was good, a little pricey, but ummm, everyone there including the chefs are Chinese?

Keishin Tamaki

A bit overrated. For the area, not much choice but for Vancouver, lots of places to get aburi-style sushi.

Carina Yuan

If you're looking for straight sushi, and are not on a budget, Taka's is for you. One of 4 places I trust with Japanese food in Surrey/White Rock (and one of 3 Japanese owned places), I once spent $80 on lunch for two here (just food). It's great. #eatwithsam

Kevin Gambrel

Absolutely the best place to get sushi in South Surrey White Rock area, and one of the best in BC! ❤️???? When you're just looking for sushi rolls for takeout during the time of isolation, there's no better place to look for! Unlike their amazing Omakase course, the price is fairly reasonable with appropriate portion. (I'm not a big fan of cheap, huge, and gross.) Love their Omakase selections too. Especially when Chef Michael said there's a special menu. Wow, special menu it was! Of course, for Omakase, you pay premium for premium and beyond.

Chris Schlichter

Top grade food quality and inventive menu items makes for a memorable sushi destination in White Rock. Definitely will return. Limited to only three tables due to social distance restrictions, but it only adds to the ambience of exclusivity that this quality of cuisine aspires to. Prompt service and reasonable prices considering the premium ingredients.

Grace W

Authentic sushi yummy!!!

Giovanna Peirano Campbell

We were in White Rock, so we finally tried @taka_sushi_whiterock ! We also took a quick peek at the beach. I know Taka's is known for their aburi, but I've never seen individual pieces of aburi to order in the menu before. It was a bit more than we wanted spend, so rolls it was. We had Ocean Ridge, Taka's Fire, Handsome Roll, and Canadian Sunset. They were all really tasty. I loved the Ocean Ridge for the prosciutto, which added a unique savoury component. Follow me on Instagram @vinaeatsandtreats for more honest restaurant and baking recipe reviews!

李Cathy

(Translated) I just ate it a few days ago and I feel that the price and quality are not directly proportional. I don’t know why so many 5 stars. The tuna is obviously not that big that day. Three slices of salmon sashimi is close to $20. The price is about to catch up with bule. It’s fin tuna. The focus is not as big as other shops (such as sushi garden). The prices of the small or small straps have caught up with the big ones. It may have done a good job before. But now it is a shop dedicated to tourists. ps (The eel rolls I ordered are all leaky! It is so difficult to wrap the rolls?) Next time I would rather order beto sushi. At least I will be full. (Original) 前几天刚吃 感觉 价格和品质根本不成正比 我也不知道为甚么那么多5星. 点的tuna 明显就不是当天的 味道很大 三片salmon sashimi要接近二十刀. 价格都快赶上bule fin tuna 了. 重点量还没其他店的一片大（比如sushi garden）.点的带子还是小带子 价格都赶上大带子了 可能之前是做得挺好. 但是现在就是专门 肯游客的店 。 ps（点的鳗鱼卷 都是漏的！包卷这么难的？） 下次我宁可去点beto sushi. 至少能吃饱 .

Newly reopened this restaurant has an excellent authentic menu and skilled sushi chefs (板前) the new renovated spot is wonderfully done, it's warm and cozy and the food meticulously and expertly prepared. The owner has just returned from Japan to make certain he can continue to obtain completely authentic ingredients, the resulting experience is excellent food, excellent ambiance with great service! Well worth checking out and probably one of the best Sushi restaurants in White Rock!

min80 suh

From all the positive reviews I heard, was sadly disappointed. It wasn't until I sat down I read they switched ownership. The fish was not fresh and the price point was not correct for this quality level. I had to leave half my rolls uneaten or risk getting stomach issues. In the end needed a smoke to cover the fishyness. In real life, the picture below was a lot more brown. They obviously cater to mainland Chinese diners now.

During this time of take out only I am shocked at the amount of take out garbage from Taka's . There are face masks , take out containers and chop sticks littered all over 5 Corners White Rock .This establishent should offer garbage cans outside as the city cans are full and on a Sunday limited places are open . Please this is not acceptable behaviour!

xiaodi cui

(Translated) It ’s delicious, but it ’s okay. After all, the ingredients are fresh, and the foie gras and lobster are not easy to think. But at this price point, there are many other delicious options. In addition to being more delicious, the location, service attitude, and waiting time all add up. Spend money on discomfort. This little boss is also much more arrogant than the previous teacher's father. It ’s 4-5 times cheaper to go to victoria sushi. Although there are no ingredients such as Japanese beef and foie gras lobster, the taste of sushi is not inferior to him, and the overall consumption feels much better than taka. You don't need to go to this place if you want to eat really good ingredients. It's been several months since I was offended, and I don't plan to go in the future. Let him be arrogant. (Original) 好吃嘛，也就还可以，毕竟食材新鲜啊，又鹅肝又龙虾，想难吃都不容易。可是都在这个价位上，更好吃的其他选择多的是。除了比较好吃以外，地点，服务态度，等待时间，统统加起来总体来说感觉很不行。花钱买难受。这个小老板也是比以前的老师父嚣张太多了。去victoria sushi价钱能便宜4-5倍，虽然没有没有和牛鹅肝龙虾之类的食材，可是sushi的味道一点都不比他逊色，总体消费感觉简直比taka好太多了。想吃真的好食材根本不用去这个地方。自从被得罪以后已经有好多个月没去了，以后也不打算去。让他自我嚣张吧。

Food is good but the prices not cheap.

Andrew

Premium ingredients. Traditional preparation. The food here is sublime, and I have very little negative to say about the food. However, the truth is if you want to have a really good experience here you will be spending about $120-150/head. (during my most recent visit, dinner for four people the bill+tax came to about $600 plus tip) This will get you a decent assortment of sashimi, traditional nigiri, and some better aburi like foie gras and wagyu. I don't have a problem with spending that on Japanese food, but the issue here is that for $120 I can get a phenomenal omakase experience (or just order the same things) at other Japanese restaurants in town, using equally good quality ingredients, BUT in a better environment, and with better service. Why am I paying this price point to sit in a tiny restaurant, and HK cafe style service? I'm not expecting white glove table service, but eating bafun uni and premium ootoro off raised ikea stools surrounding a tiny table is just bizarrre. The service is extremely cold... felt like they just wanted us to eat and get out. At the $100-$150 pricepoint I would prefer to go to Tetsu or Octopus Garden, or even Kuroki. For this type of dining experience? Taka's prices should be set at closer to $80 per head...

Kevin S

Hands down my favorite sushi! There is something about the quality of ingredients and care put into everything they make! Even their miso soup is the best! I highly recommend Taka Sushi if you are craving sushi and in the area, you might find yourself in White Rock more often!

Chris Chapman

Modern sushi and rolls menu yet with the traditional touch.

Rita Wu

(Translated) The environment is ok, the parking space is enough, it may be queued for a long time during peak hours, it is recommended to eat as soon as possible for takeout, otherwise the grilled sushi is not so delicious. The grilled sushi tastes great, especially the wagyu beef and foie gras taste good, and the sashimi is very fresh. The overall price is too expensive, mainly because of the grilled sushi and sashimi, the price of the roll is OK (Original) 环境ok，车位还算够，高峰时期有可能要排很久队，外卖的话推荐尽快吃，要不炙烤寿司凉了就没那么好吃了。炙烤寿司味道都很赞，尤其和牛和鹅肝口感很好，刺身很新鲜。总体价位太贵，主要是炙烤寿司和刺身的原因，卷的价格还行

Finally got to try this “internet famous” place, I have to say that I’m disappointed with the food. It’s just a regular, below avg Japanese sushi restaurant. It’s overvalued on internet and it is definitely overpriced. Plus , there’s no service at all.

Mark Freeman

Best sushi I have ever had. The mango roll is incredible. Engawa Aburi style was probably the best piece of fish I have ever eaten. They have Wagyu Beef Aburi style as well although I didn't try it. I live in White Rock and it is frequented by Japanese people, trust the local Japanese-Canadians and trust the reviews on here, it is AWESOME sushi.

Samuel Araki

Nice atmosphere, but would say it’s average sushi. They use a lot of crab meat in their platters which is a bit disappointing(but understandable due to price)

J Mak

Experience but very good quality

Amber

Expensive' small portions' 4 sushi in one order also small sushi waste of time avoid.

Davina Ma

Been going to Taka for many years and have experienced its transformation. Some dishes are different than before and they added quite many new high end Japanese fish than before. I think overall quality still very good. Fish r consistently fresh and u could tell the owner paid a lot of attention to details. Strongly recommend to try if u like fresh authentic Japanese local seafoods.

Authentic Japanese sushi, like you get in Japan! Taka’s is the real deal!

the quality is great and the fish is fresh, but when you factor in the price and portion, you question whether it's worth coming back. however considering the options for sushi around white rock, it is one of the best ones.

This is a new owner, new team after the old owner sold out the business and it have moved to this new location after the fire last year. The menu is still the same actually not a lot of selection in particular not much hot food like rice or noodles, mostly sushi, sashimi and maki. And their signature dishes are the aburi sushi. Food quality is excellent service is good but a bit pricey. The thing I missed most though is intimacy where the previous owner will always spend time interacting with the customers introducing the food etc. That's the old fashioned personally touch that makes a sushi place unique.

Savannah

Awesome arburi but pricey. ...Wagu beef...

Michael Z. Liu

Very authentic sushi restaurant. Aburi sushi is especially delicious. A bit more pricey than your regular sushi restaurant but they're more upscale. BTW, they don't take reso and during COVID, there are only 3 tables inside, so it's best to go early or order take out.

So excited that Taka's Sushi is now back!! Absolutely amazing, delicious rolls and Aburi Sushi are the best as usual, we tried the wild bluefin O-toro Nigiri Sushi, it was so fresh that melt in your month, Sashimi is out of this world. The wait for a table is really long, they don't take reservation but take-out is still available!!! We will definitely come back very soon!

Robin Soon

All the fish tastes super fresh，I never had the uni with this quality in the other places of Vancouver. Compare with sashimi，the taste of sushi is definitely more worthy to the price，especially the foia gras one and the beef one. Staff would firstly ask your budget for the meal，which is helpful to choose the best combination with your own affordable price. Next time，I would like to spend more on their sushi.

Yes, the prices are a tad bit much compared to the sushi restaurant down the street, but Taka's quality is absolutely the best. I've had sushi all over Vancouver (and other places in Canada), as well as in Asia, and have to admit, Taka's sushi is grade A quality. The wait times could improve as we had to wait a bit for our food to arrive, but then again we went around the evening / dinner time and the place was quite packed.

Dora GG

Fresh sushi and omakase experience of a big city in a small town, White Rock. The selections of fish, both local and imported, available are very impressive, and the overall price is quite reasonable for the quality you can literally taste. Reasonable doesn't equal cheap, but I've experienced this level of exquisite quality only in more expensive restaurants located in much bigger cities. Nothing much to add other than: this is the best that White Rock has to offer for something along the line of "omakase" experience, and it guarantees to never disappoint.

Mike

Great service and amazing food quality.

Kevin Chen

Best sushi place of all time Aburi sushi is still top of the market I used to think their price point are High But compare to other sushi restaurant these days it actually very reasonable now

Jack Peters

Wasn't busy so we got the table easily. Looked at the menu and thought it was pricey, no hot foods. Waited for a waitress/waiter...and waited....and we just came out. I cannot rate on their food but the first impression of the restaurant wasn't pleasing. We went to Two Guys where it was nearby.

If I could give negative 5 stars I would because a 0 would be too kind... My wife and I got there and was told there was a 30 minute wait for a seat so we decided to order takeout which included 4 rolls. The guy taking the order said it would be roughly 15 minutes so we sat down and started waiting. Fast forward 50 minutes later and we asked about our order and he said there’s 2 rolls left to make. By this point the restaurant was basically half empty. Some people came in after we placed our order and have already finished eating. We cancelled our order and went to Maguroguy Sushi and an order of 4 rolls and a tempura took a total of 10 minutes. Avoid this place like the plague unless an hour of your time is worth $5 because that was the difference in prices between excellent service and people who gave 0 shits about their customers.

Bevan Hunt

I've heard some good things about this place so I decided to try it out. And... I was very disappointed. They appeared to have a decent selection of nigiri but most of them were "unavailable" (such as o-toro, ika and tako; even tamago, seriously? they are just eggs). And only as they were coming back to tell me the fish were unavailable, I realized that the waitress somehow mistakenly ordered sashimi platter for each single fish instead of the single piece nigiri. After sorting out the confusion, the food came after a fairly short wait. The sushi....All I can say is that the quality of the fish was good, but nothing special. Most of them were pretty fresh but cut slightly too thin to my taste. The rice however, was downright disgraceful. It was dry and didn't hold together in one piece. When I used my fingers to pick up the nigiri, it easily broke in half. The aburi sushi, which was quite nice (and very, very expensive), didn't really suffer from this issue (partially because it was doused in sauce that overwhelmed your taste buds). I had a good experience with the foie gras aburi that melted in my mouth. However, considering the price of $5-9 per piece of sushi, this place is very overrated. There are better sushi bars out there in Vancouver that are run by actual Japanese people (this place seems to be owned by Chinese) that offer a cheaper, but more authentic sushi experience.

A MUST HAVE for sushi and sashimi lovers, they also serve lots of exotic stuff and so worth their price. Small space so expect a little wait time on busy days.

Joanna Tseng

Specialty sushi spot serving creative rolls and high end aburi. Small space, always busy. Outstanding freshness and quality. A but pricy for some things, but generally worth it.

Their food is very good, well ahead of most places in the area. I like that not every roll is a different variation of a California roll. The BC roll doesn't even have imitation crab in it, just delicious fried salmon skin and vegetables. Also the shrimp rolls are not all filled with tempura prawns but with Lots of very well poach crustaceans. The chopped scallop roll was done perfectly with fresh and perfectly done scallops. The only real downside is the speed of service but good food takes time and as for the price quality fish and ingredients aren't cheap. It was well worth a try. It is also kinda small in side, most seats are at the bar.

Benny Adam

Expensive price and the waiter only suggest the most expensive food on the menu, which is very disgusting. AND they change the owner, which the quality of food sucks!

liu lin

(Translated) First of all, this restaurant is very slow to serve, and I guess it is deliberately letting people spend more time waiting to appear that they are more popular. Secondly, the taste of sushi is far from the price. The taste of sushi belongs to the average daily level of Vancouver, and the taste is not particularly prominent, and their sushi is not all made by Japanese masters. But their prices are much higher than the average. I highly recommend not eating, because you not only waste a lot of time waiting for the location, but also use expensive prices and eat very very ordinary sushi. (Original) 首先，这间餐厅上菜速度非常慢，我估计是故意让人花费更多的时间等候以显得他们比较热门。其次，寿司的味道远对不起价格。寿司的味道属于温哥华日料平均水平，口味上并没有特别突出，而且他们的寿司并不是全部由日本的师傅所制作。但他们的价格却远高于平均水平。本人非常不建议去吃，因为你不仅浪费了很多时间等候位置，还用了昂贵的价格，吃了非常非常普通的寿司。

A great balance between local and imported, Edomai and modern offerings which range from affordable lunch specials to Bluefin, Wagyu, and scallops and urchin flown overnight from Japan.

Rose Yao

Not as pricey as I thought. The price of individual items are reasonable. People say it’s pricey because there’s only a-la-carte, no combos or aburi sets. Foie gras for $7.50, otoro for $10, and Miyazaki wagyu for $10 are reasonable. I’ve had these items at a higher price and a worse taste. Otoro nigiri is better than otoro aburi IMO because the aburi melted in my mouth so fast I couldn’t feel it.

Trish Pham

Dined here two years ago and had a terrible experience. We came in without reservation and we were told the wait time was about 40 minutes. It is expected as there were only 4 tiny tables and a bar in the restaurant and can only accommodate less than 15 people at most. After half an hour, when we were first in line, a group of 8 came in without reservations, and somehow the server thought he should wait until there were 3 tables available for the party of 8 to seat first. So we waited for a hour and half, for a tiny bar side. The service continued to be terrible after we were seated, the food was average among sushi restaurants at a similar price range, and selection was poor. Other smaller sushi restaurants would not accommodate large parties at all, let alone give them priority over others who came in first. Also, given the price you are expecting not only nicely done aburi sushi, but also exceptional service, which both didn’t deliver. The server was Uyghur, not sure if the chefs are japanese.

Tamago is overly cooked. Rice is okay, but not great. Maybe the pressure cooker is not working properly? What kind of vinegar was used to bring out the sweetness of the rice? Because it can do a better job. Wasabi should choose better quality ones instead of the power mix for such a high end price. Service is great and attentive. Fish overall is fresh. I think the store is prone to great, but just need some attentions to details.

Authentic Japanese sushi restaurant with excellent selection of ingredients. Sashimi and aburi sushi are always good quality, if you are not sure which ones to get let the chef decide. I see the effort they put into their dishes, which sets them apart from regular sushi restaurants. Even the seaweed salad tastes so refreshing and crispy. Service was very good. Staffs are very friendly and smiley. The server filled our tea timely even it was a busy Saturday night. They also told us to start eating from the light colors. My favorite sushi place in BC! Would definitely recommend to everyone.

Walked in for Omakase. The front desk didn’t make it clear that walk-in is different from the regular omakase experience. Didn’t let us seat at the sushi bar. The sashimi tastes okay but is not so fresh. All sushi was served at the same time. Rice is cold and salty. My friend have food poisoning afterwards. Definitely not worth $200 per person. Don’t waste your money here.

The sushi and sashimi is okay but way too pricy. It was our first visit here and the owner suggested us some sashimi combo and we end up with $220. Too pricy

Aishah Guo

They are currently closed due to a fire. The sushi is tender and melts in your mouth but overpriced. If you think about it, the sushi here is more expensive than Miku. Getting the chef's lunch special is more worth and filling. The waygu beef is delicious but on sushi...it really just taste like eating beef and rice at the same time. I highly recommend the flounder. It's the best taste for the bang of your buck. $3.25 vs $6/piece. The place is tiny though and the wait is long. You're better off doing take-out (hence Taka's Takeout Sushi) I hope they can get a bigger place once they re-open.

Jonathan Viaje

Pricey but delicious

tien huynh

Very fresh, well made nigiri sushi and maki (rolls). All nigiri sushi are priced per piece, a common practice in Canada, uncommon in Socal where the price is for two pieces. We ate the following: Sockeye salmon King salmon - much more tasty than sockeye Tuna Albacore Flounder (hirame, engawa in this case) Yellowtail Octopus Tuna roll Negitoro roll BC Crunch roll (salmon skin roll) Most of the nigiri came already dressed with a sauce (soy sauce, ponzu, lemon juice, and/or garnished with yuzu peel, onion, etc) As mentioned before all of the fish was very fresh and of high quality). We sat at the sushi counter, but did not order from the sushi chefs. We ordered thru a waiter! This was a bit awkward. we'd order 2 or three different sushi, then flag down a waiter and order 2 or 3 different sushi, rinse and repeat. I've never had such an experience anywhere else. it's not horrible, just weird.

TJ Jennings

Fantastic sushi and knowledgeable staff, there's always something to try that will tickle the taste buds

Ordered the omakase and let them decide for us. Would not recommend aburi as everything just tasted like the sauce which felt like a waste of money. Stick to the traditional stuff here.

This place used to be great, but sadly it has changed a lot since reopening with new ownership this year. It is no longer an authentic Japanese restaurant. The service and quality have taken a nosedive, yet they charge unjustifiably exorbitant prices. The presentation was the only positive aspect of my dining experience. All style, no substance (But it's great if you just want to post photos of your food on Instagram to show all of your fake friends how cultured and sophisticated you are!) It clearly caters to a certain nouveau riche demographic. Also, be prepared for second rate service unless you speak Mandarin. Do yourself a favor and go a few blocks up the hill to Kappa if you are looking a real Japanese dining experience with great food and friendly service.

(Translated) The price is not high. The high-end ingredients are good, but if you want to eat comfortably, 200 per capita, the starting ingredients are fresh and grilled sushi. But it can only be said that the sushi restaurant environment and the skill of the sushi chef do not match the price paid, but the consumption power of Vancouver is strong. You can still try when you go to Baishi (Original) 性价比不高 高级食材倒是不错 不过要吃舒服人均200算起步 食材倒是新鲜 炙烧寿司不错 不过也只能说是食材好的寿司店 环境和寿司师傅功力配不上所付的价格 不过 温哥华消费力强 去白石还是可以试试

Great sushi. Terrible waiting times. The sushi here is absolutely delicious, but we had to wait 50 minutes for a seat. That was already not so nice, but once you're seated there, it takes another load of time until your order comes. THIS is because they have bad management and understanding on the order of serving, clearly if they serve the people that are about to leave the last bit of food they ordered then they will leave with more space for others to be seated. Instead, they serve others first and we wait for an hour before our next meal arrives, leaving the next guests waiting that time as well. Will not be coming back again just because the timing is AWFUL.

Paul Kealong

Other than their aburi sushi. Everything just really average. Their high price point makes high expectations. And so relatively disappointing.

Super disappointed about the service. ***** correction on this post****** Correction on my statement that they don’t serve customers by coming order. They probably do based on an editable Excel list. BUT when they communicated with me about my comment, it worsened my experience. The manager came to our table to question why we gave this bad comment WITHOUT asking if we mind him interrupting our meal and didn’t apologize for any negative experience we had. **************

For the price point of $100 per person, I'm expecting a bit of authenticity, bit more in freshness of raw ingredients, and certainly better sushi making skills. I mean the fishes and shrimps themselves are fine, but sushi rolls won't even stick together. Came for the fame, left with a taste of mediocre and fishlike breath. Bouns: the bubble tea shop next door is of super high quality.

Really nice sushi restaurant in White Rock. Sashimi was amazingly fresh though it should be given the price. Noticed the price for drinks was pretty high as well.

Lived around the area for a while and this was always my fav sushi restaurant for a few years, however, I must say the change in owners is a huge huge mistake. The quality went down hill and the servers are even worse. They don’t know what they’re doing and aren’t attentive. The maki rolls are so flimsy and they break once you pick them up. Aburi is smothered in TOO much sauce and also didn’t come out fresh. Everything about this place is such a disappointment now. I know people come from all over Metro Van to try this place but there really is no need. You’ll be waiting in line for mediocre sushi. You are paying Downtown Vancouver prices for something that Menami/Miku would’ve gave you at a better ambiance, food quality and service.

Joe Li

WOW!!! It is just amazing here, the food is nice and fresh, (Not to fishy) Friendly staff, I asked if they had bubble tea here (I didn’t mean to be racist I just didn’t know) and he told me where the nearest bubble tea place is. They took there time to make the food which makes me happy.

James Rodriguez

I had a very poor experience. I thought that the sushi here was supposed to be amazing, so I was willing to spend a few extra dollars to try it. I would say that my expectations were not met. First of all the greeting when entering the front door wasn't exactly the most memorable moment. Secondly, as stated above I knew that the price was a little higher, but i literally was caught off guard with the portion sizes. Not only is it more expensive, but the portions are small. Specifically the salmon sashimi. At this point I have no inclination of returning to this place, even though it is a 5 minute walk from my house. P.S the sushi wasn't any better than any of the places neighbouring my old place in burnaby. A friend and I could eat there for about $25 with tip included. I would say you need to spend about $40 +tip here to get a reasonable amount of food for two.

Maggie Huber

Be ready to spend a lot of money if you want the experience they want to offer their customers. Around $300 + for my group of three. The fish I can’t lie, was quite delicious. I believe that the sashimi and nigiri they offer really does separate them from our “normally priced” sushi restaurants around this area. Places we would typically spend around $20 - $50 on sushi. The service, I wouldn’t say is friendly. Maybe the manager guy was a little bit friendly. I normally don’t care too much about the service, but when your dropping $300 + for a meal, you kind of expect a little bit more. I mean, $300 is a lot of money for food. The female server did fill our tea often which I really liked. Overall for the service, maybe a little bit more effort would be appreciated, but it was all good. The interior is nice, simple, modern. Everything seemed very clean. Even though most of their staff was Chinese I believe, they offered great tasting Japanese cuisine and I left happy overall.

Not impressed. Saw the facial expression of the floor manager when we asked if we could sit on the tables instead of at the bar. That’s a red flag to say the least. Waited 20mins or so for 2 rolls when the restaurant is not even busy. For the price, the portion is not impressive neither is the presentation. I won’t be back.

Sushi was good but took much too long and prices more than some other similar places. Also disappointing they have only sushi/sashimi...they do not do any fried items i.e. no tempura or other typical dishes in most other Japanese restaurants. We ordered takeout and specifically asked how long. They quoted 40min for 1 party tray +miso soup (long wait by normal standards). We came @apptd time, had to wait + wait. Over 1hr wait for food by the time we left. Too long.

The only good thing is the food. Price is slightly high. Service is just soso. I dined in with friends and the kitchen was cutting onions all the way through. Our eyes suffered alot. The waiter came once asking if the onion was too much spicy for the eyes, and we said yes but they kept cutting. So generally the food deserves 4.5 stars, price 3stars and service 3 stars.

Sunderme

This meal is divine!!!!! Food: I only ordered the aburi sushi here. It's different from regular sushi since they sear the top part, and use less rice so each piece comes out more meaty. Since I only ordered aburi, the owner recommend 8 pieces for me. I ordered the sablefish (cod), wagyu, foie grad, lobster tail, eel, flounder, and bluefin toro. The flounder was a bit too oily for me, but the other 7 were delicious!! I would especially recommended the lobster tail, foie gras, and wagyu. Don't worry if you don't know how to order. I got the 8 most popular ones and they were ALL good. The servers will help you out. Service: Top notch! Probably the best thing about this place was the service. Everyone was so friendly and attended to us. My glass was never empty. The waitress refill my tea before I even noticed it! Price: Definitely very pricey. But you do pay for what you get. Wait: Be prepared to wait on any day. I came here around 8:30pm and still had to wait for 40 minutes. They close at 9pm, and we were the last table they served. So if you want to avoid the line, come before it opens. They do not have a lot of tables, so the line will be very long is you come during peak time. Also, do check on yelp or call to see if they are open since I'm pretty sure it's closed on Monday.

Great to have them back in the neighbourhood after the devestating fire that evicted them almost 3 years ago. Eat here! Spend your money here and support local business!!

All of the items are substantially more tasty than most places in the area. The staff is very kind and helpful, and the atmosphere is very nice. My favourite sushi place in the area.

Many people recommend this place for sushi. We only love the grilled sushi that tasted very awesome, but hand rolls , salmon rolls are just okay... the price is ... good to try anyway. The menu should update,not any recommendations and pictures are hard to order.

Disgusting sushi, fish was not fresh. I'll be lucky if I don't get sick. For all the 5 star reviews they really have not travelled around tasting other sushi places.
