We've been coming to Sansho for many, many years. We like the large menu, reasonable prices, tasty food, and generous fish portions. Unfortunately, the past couple of times we've been here have been disappointing due to the service. Last time, they took our order and we waited for 30 minutes for it to arrive. We finally asked about our order and the waitress said she didn't give it to the kitchen. They gave us miso soup for free for the 30 minute delay. Most recently, we made a reservation for 6pm for a party of 4 for a birthday dinner. We arrived on time at 6pm. Here's what happened: -No one visited our table until 6:15pm when we were asked if we had ordered. We said we hadn't been given menus. -We received menus and the waitress asked what we would like to order...except she turned to leave the table before asking what I wanted. As she started to walk away, I said, "I'd like to order too..." and then she came back and wrote down my order. -She didn't repeat the order back to us before leaving our table. -The waitress forgot one of our items. I asked where the tempura was (as we'd received and eaten most everything else). She came back 10 minutes later with it. -Another item arrived arrived even later...maybe 40 minutes after we ordered. We thought they'd forgotten about that item too. -At 7:15pm we asked for our bill. The waitress came with the bill, and held out the credit card machine for me to pay. I took a moment to look the bill over (as we had nearly a dozen items on the bill, and some of our party was reimbursing me in cash while I put the entire amount on my credit card). As I was pulling out my credit card the waitress told us the next reservation was waiting and we needed to leave because they needed our table. She said this two or three times over. It was quite rude. We had a reservation; we were on time for our reservation; we spent well over $100; and we were only there for 1 hour 15 minutes (which is not overly long for dinner for 4 people). It was not our fault that the restaurant scheduled a 7:15pm reservation after a 6:00pm reservation, and that service to our table was very slow. We felt uncomfortable, awkward and a little embarrassed. We felt like a nuisance to this waitress who was rushing us out the door. It was very far from the 'birthday dinner' celebratory vibe we had hoped for. In sum, we spent most of our time waiting for menus; waiting for food to arrive; wondering where items in our order were; wishing someone would check on us (which never happened - we didn't have our waters refilled once during our entire time, and we were thirsty); and then feeling awkward as we were rushed to pay and leave asap. During our dinner, there were over a dozen people crammed into the front area waiting for tables and/or takeout. The restaurant looked overwhelmed, understaffed, and disorganized. Sadly, we're now looking for our new sushi spot in North Van :(

Had a lunch box special . They were kind enough to swap out the California roll for the tuna roll which was great. Service was fast. A nice miso soup and I enjoyed the Goma-ae.

Our first time here, ate in. Would recommend a reservation as they seemed to be filling up, and had tons of pickup orders on the go. The servers were friendly and attentive. The food came fast and was tasty. Not the best sushi I’ve ever had, but no complaints. Large menu with tons of options. This isn’t a fancy place, but it’s not trying to be that. If you want a reasonably priced spot for a quick, sit down Japanese meal, this is a great find!

Our family came here for a birthday dinner for our younger son. We had been recommended this place by a friend. It was very busy but we had made reservations based on their web site recommending it. They brought us some green tea but we could have also had water. We were seated in a booth which has high backs so you could not see the other tables, it felt more intimate. There was a 2 seater table near which was occupied later in our dinner. The service was great. We were seated quickly and asked if we would like something to drink. We all chose green tea which was brought out quickly. It did not take long for the food to be brought out and every so often someone would check how we were doing so the service was great! I had the Salmon Don which was Salmon Sashimi on top of Sushi Rice. The Salmon was delicious and there was quite alot of it! Our younger son and my wife had the Tempura & Sashimi. The Tempura was crispy and the Sashimi was smooth and flavourful! Our older son had a California Roll and assorted Nigri Sushi which he said was Really fresh! We would definitely eat here again!

This is really a suprise that one of the best Japanese restaurants actually located at a quiet neighborhood at Noth Vancouver. If it wasn't recommended by a friend, who is also a Japanese foodie, I wouldn't have discovered this. We ordered sashimi combo, deep fried squid appetizer, tonkatzu combo. Everything was oishiiiiii, so good! Always busy so reservation recommended.

Update to my review 3 years ago. Loved this place for quite a while but over the last 6-9 months something has happened with the service and food. Every time for the last 4 times we have been there an unfriendly seater wanted to put us in the corner by the bathroom even though other tables were available. This happened again yesterday. I tried to make conversation and she was dismissive. The food that day was only ok and even the Miso soup was watery. After a poor series of visits we gave it one more try - this is the 4th unpleasant visit in a few months so will have to find another place.

Beware of the vegetable udon, which has no veggies - only a few snipets of spinach for which you will pay $12 + tax for a bowl of broth and noodles. Both deceptive and misleading. When I phoned back, they only said oh sorry. Cant speak to other menu items, or atmosphere as I ordered pick-up.

The best sushi in North Vancouver I love everything in the menu. Im a huge fan of chicken teriyaki.

September 22, 2024

We frequently order from this restaurant at the office, and their lunch specials and sushi rolls have always been tasty. The food we ve tried so far has been delicious. However, during our most recent visit, the experience was far from pleasant. The person who took our order for pickup was extremely rude from the start, for no apparent reason. She missed the notes included with the order, rolled her eyes, and continued to treat me with disrespect throughout the interaction. I lost my appetite after such unprofessional and unpolite behavior, which was very disappointing.

Quite pricey; very small - which is fine, but makes the lack of service even more surprising. We asked for green tea, which never arrived and sat for ages, waiting to pay, before giving up and going to the counter to pay. Oh she said was oh yes sorry we get very busy and sometimes you just pay here... It wasnt busy. My roll was good; I tried a new-to-me fish (Hamachi, I think?) roll with jalapeño slices on top. The fish was mild and had a nice soft texture. The reason I chose this place was that my Japanese friend had wanted to try it. I cant see myself going back again, uness I was visiting my friend and she wanted to go. Its just too expensive for what you get. (ALL I had was the one roll; my friend had a lunch special.) Parking: It seemed like a very busy little spot. I had to drive around the block a couple of times, until I finally found a very small spot to squeeze into.

I really wanted to like this place. I ordered oily fish (sockeye, toro), which, if not fresh, is very apparent. It was very apparent that it wasnt. The atmosphere looked good, i ordered take-away. The service was great; very friendly servers. The price was fine if the food was great, but alas, it was not. Ive washed my hands several times after the meal, but the memory remains. I only care about food quality, so its a 2.

My friend and I always go to this restaurant and we have always been treated extremely well, but on Sunday we had a very unpleasant experience. We decided to place our order online to get ahead as we had little time for lunch and when we arrived at the restaurant and asked for a table to sit at, we were treated very badly by one of the employees or the owner (woman), I dont know, who didnt even look at our faces and only spoke about 5 times that we couldnt sit with she just kept saying No and No, without giving any reason and extremely without any politeness or respect, just because we had ordered online. The waiter that was giving us the order just kept apologizing very embarrassed. There were several free tables and we didnt understand the poor service this time. extremely disappointing, she wouldnt want to be treated by anyone the way she treated us.

June 22, 2024

Ordered take out via Google map option (apparently I chose store front by doordash), honestly I just chose whichever that lets me order for pick up and paid w Google pay. (Bcuz there isnt another option thats without any doordash or uber or whatever). Anyway Super easy. They sent a text saying when order is expected and sent another saying its ready for pick up. Its great. The only problem tonight was the staff. I went to the cashier and this lady she asked for my name. So I told her my name. And she kept asking me about combo. I told her I dont understand, my name is Eve, I see my order, I can show u my ID (so I showed her my ID). And she just kept asking me if Im w door dash or Uber or whichever company. I said no I just ordered it on Google. She would NOT stop asking. Honestly. Why do u think I order take out ? Im tired. I dont wanna cook tonight. Im hungry. Im hangry. I just fking want my food!. So finally I just told her, can I please just have my food? I gave you my name my ID. What more do u need? She still kept asking me about the store front or company thing. I honestly dont even know how it works, if you guys want people or order take out , maybe like update the methods or update the staff so they can speak better English or something? The customer really only want the food. So dont make this step difficult.

One time I came here, I was missing some sushi that I hadnt seen anywhere here in Canada, that I used to eat regularly back in South Africa. I took a chance, and asked the waitress if they would be willing to copy it if I had a picture, and after she went to show the chef the picture, I actually got what I was looking for, and it was delicious! This was the best experience Ive had at any restaurant! Fantastic people here.

Delicious, fresh sushi for a fair price. I go here every time I m back in North Vancouver and it never disappoints. The salmon sashimi is an absolute winner too.

April 22, 2024

In the review section, a few comments mention that while the food was good at Sansho Restaurant, the service left much to be desired. I can relate to this based on my recent experiences at Sansho. During my three visits, I consistently ordered the eel bowl, a popular choice among Japanese diners, and requested Sansho pepper, a special Japanese seasoning. Initially, they provided it generously, but on subsequent visits, there were issues. The second time, it was taken away prematurely, and on the third visit, I was informed they no longer had Sansho, which felt disappointing and cheap. On the bright side, other Japanese restaurants in North Vancouver, like Hamaei and Momiji, offered exceptional service. At Hamaei, the staff always ensured I had Sansho, regardless of how much I used, while at Momiji, they went above and beyond by purchasing Sansho specifically for me when it wasnt initially available. Their dedication to customer satisfaction left a lasting impression. Additionally, some reviewers mentioned experiencing stomach pains after dining at Sansho, hinting at potential hygiene issues. For those seeking delicious Japanese cuisine paired with excellent service, I highly recommend Hamaei and Momiji in North Vancouver.

Order this large sashimi from Uber eat yesterday at 7:15pm and it is not ready until 8:20pm. The driver has been waiting there for more than 10 minutes. Apart from the time, I paid $44.9 for this with no soy sauce provided. Each of the sashimi is in a thin and small size, taste and freshness is just in average. I have to say this is not worth the price. There are much better sushi restaurants in north van in terms of the prices , quantities and services.

I would like to give a review of this place, but unfortunately they said online they closed at 3, the sign on their window said they closed at 3, but when I walked in at 2:30 they said they were closed. So, just don t count on actually being able to enter the building when you want to!

Been here a few times in the past couple of months and everything has consistently been very good. Service is prompt and polite, prices are good value and ambience is nice. Our favourites are Agedashi Nasu, Spicy Agedashi Tofu, Salmon Kama, Negi-Toro roll and Spicy Tuna roll. Maki rolls are generous with the fillings and taste very fresh. Update. Sansho continues to maintain a high level of service and food quality. They were slammed by 6:00pm the other night and its getting that a reservation is prudent, even for an early dinner. On our most recent visit we tried green tea zaru soba with tempura, the tempura was lightly coated and not a bit of grease. Excellent! Wheelchair accessibility: No problems with a walker.

Legit Japanese place in North Van. Really dont want to tell anyone because its such a hidden gem. Service is excellent. Definitely get the Japanese hospitality here despite it being as busy as it is. Visited on a Sunday during dinner service and it was busy. The restaurant was about 80% full but with all the take out and delivery orders... staff could barely keep up. Despite that, they were able to provide excellent service with a smile. Food was excellent. Ordered a couple set dinners and a hot soba with tempura. Food came out well presented. You can really taste the freshness of the fish. 100% will be back when in the area. Kid-friendliness: Have high chairs.

Is this the best sushi north van has to offer. Came for a cold soba, but also ordered the VIP Chirashi because I saw the review. If the description of Chef s selection of fresh assorted seafood includes tamagoyaki, I think you really don t have business running a Japanese store. Is the selection so limited to the point that the chef feels the need to put egg in the box? The Hokkigai (surf clam) in the box was yellowish. They only gave a butterflied half piece, and the taste was off putting (almost as if it had gone bad and they tried to salvage that one half). A lot of the pieces were cut unevenly in size, and I even had on piece of fish where it was improperly prepared and so tough I spat it out. Apart from that, half of my box of sashimi was cooked products (shrimp, mackerel, tamagoyaki, overcooked tako). The unagi on the rice was very tender and probably the only highlight. The salmon roe on the rice were a mix of ok, shrivelled and bursted. The soba was just your typical Japanese restaurant kind where they cook dried noodles and give you a store bought sauce to dip it with. Needless to say, my worst $60 spent yet. Only tipped because the server was putting in the effort and the food being bad is out of their control.

When I complained their customer service to one of the Korean lady server, she kinda yelled at me and said I understood I understood and leave like she didn t wanna talk to me anymore. Thought she didn t have any apologies feelings. Needs to be improved. Food was good, but service was bad. Spend good time with my friends but the mood became bad because of her.
