Sushiwa Japanese Restaurant in Abbotsford

I really wish I could have liked the food. I ordered two salmon Maki and the pieces were very large, however the rolls were not whole and just shlopped together. The 2nd item I ordered was two double dynomite rolls. The roll insides tasted or, but there was so much vinegar in the rice, that the sour taste was so overwhelming that I couldnt finish. Wont make the mistake of ordering from here again.

Portion size is quite small for the price.

Sushi Pizza in the lower mainland! What?! It was so good. Yum!

Hands down, one of the best sushi I had in the lower mainland. The salmon and avocado roll was super fresh and tasty. As well as spicy California and spicy Dynamite roll.

It is a wonderful place. Nice service and miracle taste. Strongly recommend

Worth the trip out to Abbotsford everytime :)

Best sushi I ve ever had

Amazing food great service friendly staff

I ordered Unagi and what a surprise. I found out the chef adds mango? It was the most confusing Unagi role I have ever tasted. I had to take every piece of fruit out of the sushi, the mango is Way too sweet for Unagi (BBQ eel). Oh, and the edamame is not seasoned properly, I usually dont have to add salt.

We ordered out, very fresh. very tasty. well order again!

A quite quaint spot with the best tasting sushi Ive ever had. The ingredients were top quality and even the Sapporo was better than Ive had!

I ve gone here a few times and they have never failed of making the food top tier. If I were to suggest anything it would be the chicken katsu. My favourite roles are the dragon roll the samurai roll and the California roll. The service is amazing so friendly and also have a smile on their face. The atmosphere is such a happy and welcoming and cozy feeling. This is definitely my favourite restaurant. If you are thinking of going here GO!

Been here frequently a few years back when they still have paper menus. Great food and super friendly staffs. Always ordered the spicy pork and hot rice or beef tepanyaki. Always miss this place since I moved. Vegetarian options: Has veggies options Parking: Sometimes crowded Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly options available

I LOVE SUSHIWA!!!

Ive been to a number of sushi restaurants in Abbotsford but Sushiwa comes out on top. Delicious food, quick service.

Fantastic food, delightful staff, lifelong memories made. Thankyou Sushi Wa for everything you have done

Best sushi I ve had, great service, lovely atmosphere. I do recommend

Friendly staff, great price, and amazing quality of food. I would definitely say Sushiwa is the best sushi restaurant in Abbotsford.

We really just went here to kill some time waiting to meet up with someone..... I had 2 bowls of miso soup because Im on a cleanse and my daughter had sunomono.. which she totally loves. In the past Ive got a huge bowl of sunomono at other sushi restaurants for 4.95 or so.. I couldnt believe that this pitiful bowl of sunomono salad was 6.95. for that reason I wouldnt go back because it was totally overpriced. And it was just a hole in the wall restaurant too. But it was good though because this then motivated me to buy all the ingredients and just make this at home for her for 1/20th of the cost... So I guess I appreciate the motivation provided by this restaurant. Although I did to see their other reviews and things look good

Best Japanese food I ve had in a long time

Ordered from skip, had no issues with delivery or anything. Taste was disappointing, poor quality fish, the rice seemed off oddly salty. None of the flavours really popped or stood out from one another, everything tasted very bland unless it was drenched in spicy sauce.

Best Sushi place in Abbotsford! Biggest and best tasting Maki for the best price. Wont eat anywhere else anymore! Dietary restrictions: Always 100%gluten freeform me

Best sushi ever!!! Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options

Delicious food, friendly service, homey atmosphere and decent prices. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience here

Imo the best Japanese restaurant in Abbotsford.

Good sashimi and sushi.

Excellent service, excellent sushi

My wife really likes the sushi here. I appreciate that they have a nice variety of other options for people like me who don t eat fish. So far my favourite has been the beef and chicken teriyaki combo. I wish that it was possible to order more combos.

Excellent quality and presentation.

Used to go here all the time recently refound this gem

I like salmon-based food, so I enjoy eating salmon nigiri and salmon sashimi in sushi. Ive experienced it in other places, but even though its a bit far from home, I think sushiwa food suits my familys tastes. The other roll or tray sets are also very generous and recommended. Once you eat salmon nigiri, you will want to eat it again the next day. I enjoyed it again today. .I don t have any pictures because I inhaled it as soon as I saw the food.

Overall, not a bad place for decent sushi in a smaller town. California rolls and shrimp tempura were really nice and fresh, however the pork dumplings felt a little lacking in flavour with perhaps a little too much vinegar for my taste. They do carry Japanese beer though, so that s always a plus! Took a first time sushi-trier here and she seemed to like it as well :)

Fish used in my rolls was old

Enjoyed a delicious sashimi nigiri lunch combo. Great value and very good fish.

First time trying this place, no disappoint here. looked and reviews and heard good things. so tonight tried it out myself ordered the assorted sushi and tray d presentation amazing especially for a take out tray. while eating the sushi it is so fresh it melts in your mouth after each bite defiantly a repeat and now my new favourites

My favorite sushi place!!

The best take-out in Abbotsford!

Sushi is always super fresh our favourite place in Abby!

Omg... sooooo good, I dont think I have ever eaten so much Great service, amazing food

Best place

Owners are super nice. I love the mandarin fever roll. Must try :)

allways have had good food here.love the fish skin roll

Just recently left this establishment with disappointment. The 4.6 star review on google was very misleading. We ordered the lunch bento boxes. The chicken teriyaki didn t even taste like teriyaki. The spring rolls barely even had filling in it and barely had taste. We also ordered the spicy salmon sashimi and it tasted like very old salmon that has been sitting out for a long time. Paying $17 for the bento box was really not worth it.

Amazing quality sushi

Delicious meal, definitely pleasurable! Would highly recommend.

Very good ,Thanks

Been many times and the sushi is never disappointing! Great local sushi if youre looking for quality at a decent price. Ps try the sushi pizza they do!

We ordered the Crunch Roll, Spicy California Roll and the Cucumber & Avocado Roll. It was delicious and so fresh! I highly recommend this place!

Quick and friendly service. Great portion. Taste fresh and delicious

I love Sushiwa! Been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. Prompt and friendly service, food is always fresh, and the best miso soup. Pictured is the Sushiwa lunch box, less one piece of chicken because I remembered to take a picture after I had started eating. Keep up the good work!

Always great quality and service!

Best sushi place in Abbotsford. Great service and very nice owners. Delicious sushi as well!

We love Sushiwa! We go there very often and you can tell they are very passionate about the food they serve. Every dish is delicious, and put together beautifully. The prices are amazing too! My favourite is that i can order a 2pc prawn tempura and their prawns are so juicy and delicious! A must try!! They are such kind people

Beautiful presentation of food, absolutely spot on with flavor and quality. Intimate atmosphere with gracious, attentive hosts. 5+ stars

Only way I can put it is perfect.

Truly outstanding!

The food was good. The inside looked nice and clean. But I just ordered to go.

Best sushi in abby. Staff is amazing

Tasty sushi and friendly staff!

My partner order a dish that I wish I had ordered. The udon was amazing and massive, just the right set of flavours and reheated really well the next day. The Salmon Rice Bowl? Its been a week. Hes still talking about it.

Sushi was delicious, very fresh and filling. Thank you.

Always good been there many times

Small but very cozy place. Very nice people work there. Delicious sushi

Good Soup!

Great sushi! Wow the rolls had extra stuff on top. Really impressed, will be back for sure! Friendly staff too. :)

Cozy, warm, friendly and most importantly, DELICIOUS!

Best sushi in Abby, the gyoza is amazing.

The last owner was great. The skill of new owner didnt disappoint either. Best quality sushi in Abbotsford hands down. Amazing presentation, very delicate flavours. The portion is quite small though. You can cost yourself $10 in two bites. Literally.

Ive ordered the same thing about 20 times plus and am always 100% satisfied. Chicken and Beef terryiaki. Lots of perfectly cooked and fresh vegetables, a small mountain of beef and a great piece of chicken. Their terryiaki sauce is perfectly thick and sweet. I will continue to patronize this place time and time again, cant speak for any other menu items but judging by the quality of this dish id gamble the rest is awesome. Price is great for the amount of food you get

Their customer service is great. Also, their food! We couldnt find a better Sushi in the City. I hope they could be open as days a week then.

Great sushi, reasonable prices :)

Food always fresh tasting

Excellent selection, and some very unique flavours. The rolls are huge and loaded with toppings, so keep that in mind when you order. Try the lemon prawn roll, the Mandarin roll, and if you like spice try the spicy salmon and tuna cones. They are overflowing with sashimi, and spicy enough to really wake up the senses. This is our favourite sushi restaurant in town, and we have tried them all several times.

The food is great and gummy

Awesome service the food was amazing

Staff is super friendly very clean and organized and great covid measures in place. And the food was excellent. Will definitely be going back to this restaurant.

Cute little location, great staff and their food... SO good! I m a big Sushi buff and this is by far the best I ve had in Abbotsford. I only discovered them in the last year but since then I ve gone so many times. Sometimes two days in a row. Their special rolls are awesome and the Sashimi is incredible

Great sushi spot in Abbotsford. Huge portions and fresh. Thanks so much!

I have had a LOT of sushi in my day. BC in general has a lot of great sushi restaurants. I have never been to Sushiwa, even though its right around the corner from my house. This has been hands down the best Ive ever had! The service was great, the food was incredible and the prices are about average for sushi. The sashimi was tender and delicious. It didnt need sauce at all. I had the sunumono salad which was amazing! Everything was so very fresh and prepared to order. Well be back for sure. Im not one for take-out sushi, so we ate in the restaurant. There are only about 5 tables inside but we went at a quiet time. During covid, they are taking all the precautions.

This restaurant is our familys favorite restaurant. The deep broth of beef udon melts away the chill of winter, and the sexy salmon roll is by far the best.

My favourite little sushi shop in Abbotsford. Its not comparable to one in Richmond or downtown Vancouver but its a solid and reliable choice out here and Im grateful for it.

My wife and I always enjoy our lunches here. The place is always clean and the staff very friendly and inviting. One of the best spots in Abbotsford!!

Best sushi ever! Friendly staff

Favorite sushi place in Abby. Rolls are top notch, service is great, price is right. Specialty rolls are amazing.

One of the best in Abbotsford. Food presentation is excellent.

Nice fresh sushi clean environment. Small portions though. I dont think we will go again. So many sushi places these days.

Used to be better when Paul owned it

In town on business. Cute restaurant with walk up sit-down bar. Ordered a sashimi box which included chicken, salad, sashimi, rice, tempura, miso soup. Great value for $20. Sashimi tasted fresh and portion sizes were very good. Sunomono salad was nice with a not-too-acidic vinegar. Very tasty. Miso was savoury and delicious. Tempura was crispy and not greasy. Enjoyed the dinner overall and will be back. Only recommendation would be to check the steamed rice. Was a little bit dry. Great service.

The sexy salmon roll was top notch and the avocado roll was next level. Great place!

Great sushi

Love this place! We go anytime we are feeling sushi. Their mandarine roll is by far my favorite roll Ive ever had anywhere. Thanks for being so great!!

Usually never have a problem here, out of the few times I have been here. Last visit my stomach was very upset after eating. Other than my tummy hurting the staff is very nice and inviting, very humble and polite.

I ordered a bento box Sushi & Sashimi to take out. Order was ready in less than 10 minutes, which was amazing. The size of portions were quite good. Variety was excellent I received a Mjso soup, Harusame salad with shrimp, mixed tempura, shrimp, octopus, tuna and salmon sashimi items, all of which were very fresh. Also included a chicken teriyaki cutlet on cooked vegetables, plus some grilled tuna sliced thin. A great selection of items! I barely was able to finish all this food. I am sure that I will be returning in the future. Highly recommend this place.

Not bad definitley not as good when it was the old owners

A wonderful little sushi place. They made the sushi fresh in front of me, and it was a fantastic deal. Twelve pieces and a miso soup for only seven and a half bucks! Definitely would eat again.

walked by...so this is just a drive by i i ihh ih

Great little place with amazing food. Ordered the course meal and couldnt have been happier with my choice. Really reminded me of small little family restaurants in Japan

The foods were so delicious, and its flavor was marvelous. restaurant it self were very clean and the servers were very kind. the price was economical and the food came out in time. Overall five star!

Best portion sizes in their nigiri and lowest price in abby. I visited 13 other sushi restaurants in Abbotsford and ordered 2 sockeye and Atlantic salmon nigiri, or 4 of whichever they offered from each. Sushiwa not only priced their nigiri at 2$ each which was cheaper than most locations in Abbotsford, the portion of fish they gave was 20% larger than most competitors. They are definitely a favourite!

Been by this place for years finally dropped in now it is my new favourite Japanese restaurant

Small place with great service and food

Not that great

Super cute place. Super tasty. And super kind staff

Amazing food! Cant wait to go back

Stuff is nice and friendly. Food is very delicious. Japanese people are working.

Very good food. Me and my girlfriend were very happy with our beef and chicken teriyaki. Very friendly staff as well. I was extremely impressed with the quality of the ingredients. You can tell everything was very fresh.

Nice little place.

Great food

Get yourself a sushi pizza! Salmon avocado roll in picture.

Great Sushi

Great sushi ,good prices

Good place, nice staff, good food.

Great food!

Sushiwa never disappoints, quick friendly service and delicious variety of choices!!!

I love this restaurant!!

Best Sushi in Abbotsford!

Disappointing. My roll fell apart an was drowning in sauce.. Avacado was on the brown side which was upsetting cause they opened 30 minutes ago.

Hands down my favorite sushi place. I love the Tuna Bum Roll.

Best sushi in Abbotsford.

Wonderful food and a great atmosphere. Looks deceiving from the outside but cozy on the inside.

Great sushi spot. Small so best to call ahead for a table. Great takeout and friendly staff.

Sat down inside. Small sized restaurant with room for maybe 5 groups. They have a few seats for a sushi bar. Friendly staff. TNT, Sakura roll, sushi pizza all were great. Would for sure go back here.

Good sushi, fresh ingredients, good service. The servings are a little small for the price but not terribly so. Definitely worth trying as the chef is clearly an inventive person and dont be shy about trying some of the different things on the menue.

Fresh, fast, standard sushi prices. Lovely customer service.

This place has been very hyped to me. Ive done takeout twice and dine in twice. Chirashi Don test: price - high, variety - average, quantity - low/average. I have to admit that my special roll(Red Dragon) was delicious on my last visit. The combination of flavours in the sauces and toppings was delectable. It was also quite expensive, which for a special roll of that caliber I am ok with. The issue I have is that the rest of the menu is just as expensive, (a negitoro roll is $1.50 - $2.00 more than anywhere else in town) which tends to prohibit the selection I like when having sushi. The staff were friendly, the wait was a bit long, and we were not advised when they were out of Tai (it was just substituted with Ebi to which I have a mild allergy). All in all it doesnt live up to the hype.

Too expensive after owner ship change. Still have thank-you cards up from last owners.

Overhyped, nothing special

Great service. Sexy Salmon and Lemon Prawn rolls are are go-to every single time. Delicious!

Ive been going to this place for almost year and just had my first negative experience. It wasnt the usual person taking my order and over the phone they misunderstood me and i had a hard time understanding what they where saying. When I went to pick it up I had to wait for them to add something to the order they missed. I went back home and relized they still missed something, I drove back and explained to them the miscommunication and not only did they not charge me for the item they missed they gave me extra. The food was amazing and even with this one fluke bad experience I would still say this is the best sushi place in Abbotsford. 10/10

Great atmosphere, amazing dishes. Started off with Gyoza, Agedashi (deep fried tofu) and Salmon Tataki. Great presentation as well as taste! We had to order another Salmon Tataki for dessert! We will be co.ing back. Thank you for the special dish, Chef!

The best sushi I have ever had hands down!! The service is amazing and always the best food!! Come here at least once a week!

Eat at sushi spots all over western Canada. This has to be one of the best value / quality combos around

Calm atmosphere, friendly staff, prices are a little high and the menu a tad limited, but each roll tastes unique and well worth the money. This is my fav sushi place in Abby.

Love their food.. just awesome

Good food and good service.

Fantastic nigiri and very fresh. The chefs special was a delight and highlighted the chefs passion for sushi.

This is hands down my favourite sushi restaurant in all of abbotsford!! Dont miss the salmon tataki if you are a salmon fan!! Always great service and delicious

Really good sushi at very reasonable prices. We had far too much food for two people for under $40 WITH a tip. Highly recommended

perfect!!! very nice. You have to eat this sushi and roll.

Feeling great food Ill be back

A great chef with amazing skill. The lemon prawn roll is to die for so good!

Definately best sushi in town!

Best sushi ever!!!

The service is great and it s super delicious. Come quickly!

Best sushi in abbotsford. service is great too.

Best sushi Ive had in greater Vancouver area. Chef Pauls creations rival those found at the top sushi restaurants downtown Vancouver.

My family and I attended Sushiwa a couple weeks ago for the first time. We had ordered several items, and unfortunately two of the items ordered were missed. Once this mistake was eventually realized, the missed items were served, but unfortunately in the rush to fix the mistake, the gyoza order was undercooked. This was disappointing for us, and we left with what we thought was a bad experience with Sushiwa. After sharing this online, I was contacted by a representative of Sushiwa, concerned about our experience. We were asked to come back for lunch, on his bill. My wife and I took this offer, and returned back to Sushiwa. The chef did not even give us a menu, just asked if we had any allergies or foods we didnt like; after that, the food started coming to our table. We received dishes we did not even know existed. The chef kept the dishes coming until we said we could no longer eat. After this, he came over and made sure we were satisfied with what we received. I explained how pleased we were, and he thanked us for coming back. I insisted on paying for the meal, but he said no. In conversation, he explained how he was leaving the industry, but really wanted to make up for what happened at our last experience...I realized that this meant there was no personal or professional gain for him doing this. While my wife and I were getting ready to leave, I noticed the relationship the chef had with the other customers. Many of the patrons and the chef knew each other by name. There was handshaking, laughs and personal conversations going on. The restaurant was packed. We all make mistakes, but how we manage them really speaks volumes of our character. Sushiwa made a minor mistake in our first visit, and went up and beyond to repair it...for no other reason than to satisfy us as customers. The food was exceptional, the service was great and the experience of seeing someone really care about the satisfaction of his customers was something not too often seen anymore. This is my new favourite sushi restaurant, and one I will be returning back to over and over again.

Hands down the best sushi I have ever had. We go to Abbotsford to visit family, and make sure to stop here every time we go.

Fairly good sushi, good enough service, very limited sittings. Very clean. Portions are on the smaller side.

Amazing!

I used to love this place. Now the prices are way higher and the portions are smaller. The most disappointing thing is the quality has suffered immensely. Pretty disappointing.

Not a best choose

Pauls passion for detail and only serving the highest quality product makes every item on the menu on par with the 5 star restaurants anywhere. Also probably the greatest Udon soup I have ever had. Thank you for being in our little town! Unfortunately, Paul has moved on and the quality of the food has taken a painful turn. So sad because my girlfriend and I were very regular guests for many years. Now comes the difficult task of finding a new sushi place in town.

The food is amazing and the price is good not the cheapest but not to expensive. Beautiful atmosphere and great rocknroll music.

This place serves the best sushi in the fraser valley, incredible presentation, service and taste is exquisite!

Best sushi by far :) we love going here!

The best sushi place I have ever been to. They specialize in sushi. I especially love the Lemon Prawn and the Deep rolls. They difference between this place and other places is a wide margin.

Love this little restaurant, very nice family run business and delicious sushi. Always fresh and unique. We go back and see Paul (sushi chef) often :).

Their raw sushi is the best in Abby. Free little (aand I mean little) dessert. HST platter is golden! And the chef is super friendly. Highly recommend, definitely top 3 in Abbotsford.

Great service, great food. Rolls & cones the best Ive had.

Love Sushiwa! Cute little place to have some AMAZING sushi. Paul (the chef) is awesome always very welcoming, and his mom is very polite and sweet as well. I recommend everyone i know to Sushiwa and each of them comes back more than satisfied. If you have not been, you need to go!!

Easily the best sushi in Abbotsford. I have not yet found a sushi restaurant in Vancouver that is as good.

We asked three times for water and when she brought the water she took away the cups of green tea without asking or us even noticing. Horrible service from the women who works here.
