1540 Lonsdale Ave, North Vancouver, BC V7M 3L7, Canada
Honestly the best price around for sushi and it's not half bad if u get the basics. However if you are a clean person this isn't the place for you. I've walked in before and caught the front staff at the counter picking their nose, no I'm not joking maybe cause they opened not much earlier they thought no one would come in. I stayed away for a while. Another time I went to Yuko maki (recently) I went to the bathroom and came out the same time as staff and they did not wash their hands and went to the dinning area and carried on their duties. My stomach hurt after my most recent visit. Loved this place but after this I'm going to avoid this place once again.
The food is perfect my favourite is California roll. This place has both cucumber and avocado in its California roll and it is very unique. Highly recommended 👌
Ordered Bento Box 1 (Beef Teriyaki Bento) & Sushi Combo (Avocado Roll + Oshinko Roll) + Miso Soup, taste delicious, good value and portion. Fast service. Came here for many times already for sure.
I love this place. Crazy value, huge portions for a price that’s remained relatively stable over the years. Yeah it might not be the friendliest service but it’s part of the experience lol. Takeout is always quick, on time, and accurate. Best sushi spot on the north shore.
I like the food!! Their boxes are very tasty. The price is so reasonable and we as a family are pleased. But I expected more smiles from the personnel!! As a recommendation I suggest they wear a white clothes instead of black ones and serve the food more gently.
Excellent variety with tons of combo possibilities (love the Super Combo option!). Good quality, great value. They do a really nice Spicy Tuna roll, not overdressed.
Got the sushi special to go. Ordered and got food in 10 minutes. Good value, not the best sushi I've ever had but for 3 rolls and a miso soup for $12 I’m fine with that lol
I had the special box 🍱 with teriyaki beef and also a sushi special 🍣. The meals were reasonably priced. Some items were very delicious and some were bland (lacking flavor/seasoning). It is a nice place to sit and eat, the service is fast. I personally found that the tempura lacked seasoning/flavor it was bland however it was very crispy and still okay. The salad 🥗 was nice and the miso soup was a good starter. The California roll is good. I would eat here again because it is convenient for me in North Vancouver, it’s reasonably priced and the service is fast.
Food is really good even for a simple spicy tuna roll. Spicy salmon sashimi s sauce is
I enjoy food at this place, you have to wait for 20 or 30 mins for the food , its delicious.
Good Services.
My favourite Japanese restaurant. Quick service , tasty food, affordable price. Large portions. Super combo and special boxes offer variety of food.
Great food and decent prices
Been here a few times. Food comes promptly and it tastes good every time. Great prices as well.
Has delicious plates and amazing service.
Friendly service. Great food. Good portions (reduced compared to 2 years ago) and reasonable prices (increased significantly).
When my order arrived it was incorrect and had things I was allergic to on it. Yuko Maki refused to refund my order or send a new one (Even though I have picture evidence) and instead told me I had to talk to the delivery service about it. The delivery service clearly states that it is the restaurants responsibility to get orders correct, which is completely is. I was left with food I couldnt eat and out nearly $30. VERY displeased.
the food is good because the price is good. but service and stuff are awful. they are so rude. they don t care when you request for more tea or extra plates. the worst and rudest stuff I have seen in vancouver.
Yummy food
Always a good choice
Their sushi is primo . Im definetaly coming back
Very good value for your money
Very kind, very nice and very professional staff. Attentive and professional. The food is fresh (the all important prerequisite for Sushi). Quantity isnt nearly as big as it was before, but I hold Trudeau responsible for that.
BCrolls are full of scales...... I know BCrolls are made with salmon skin.....but scales should be removed before frying???!?!!!
The best place for years
I cant even say how much I just love this place and everything about it. Their food is awesome, the staff is always polite and attentive, with the food always coming out fast so we arent waiting. The location Mid-Lonsdale is perfect for me to meet up with friends and family, and combos and deals make it a great place to lots of different dishes. I definitely enjoy and recommend this place Vegetarian options: You just need to let your server know in this instance. Dietary restrictions: You just need to let your server know in this instance. Kid-friendliness: I ALWAYS see people dining in with their kids and nobody seems to mind. Wheelchair accessibility: Fully accessible through front door right off Lonsdale Avenue.
Literally I am posting this to show this photo. Look how much sashimi they put in this. One of my favourite places for affordable tuna and salmon donburi. Great place for bang for your buck sushi that taste fresh !
Very delicious
Great place for some cheap sushi.
Stellar. Come here on the night of your wedding
Came here once to grab dinner for the family. It was pick up. No complaints. Good sushi. Will come back again.
My boyfriend likes this place because its cheap, so we went for a late afternoon lunch on May 2, 2024. My boyfriend began an argument and stormed out. Lucky guy! Unfortunately, I stayed behind and ate much of what he had ordered for the two of us. 5-6 hours later, I was in my home bathroom for an almost constant SIX HOURS of violent, almost non-stop diarrhea and, to a slightly lesser degrees, vomiting - often at the same time. Over the next two days, I was still experiencing diarrhea and vomiting but it gradually stopped. FOUR DAYS later and the diarrhea and vomiting have stopped, but my stomach aches, and I am extremely weak and just beginning to eat a bit of bread with broth. To be honest, read the reviews. Did they not like me and make me sick? It was that bad. I think something very very very wrong with the managers and owners of Yuko Maki. I will not go back.
Always a great special to choose from and always quality food. Service is great too. Parking: The back parking lot is not good for anyone disabled and it is very difficult to find close street parking. In fact, before I commit to a lunch or dinner at YukoMaki, I ALWAYS check on parking first.
I got take out from here yesterday and when I went to order the service was terrible. The person taking my order had someone on speakerphone on her personal phone while I was trying to tell her my order. She seemed uninterested and like she didnt care to listen. That however is not the reason I chose to review them. After eating I had the worst stomach ache and instantly had to run to the bathroom. I got such bad food poisoning that I was up all night even though I ate at 5pm. My friend who ate only veggie rolls was ok so Im guessing its the fish that made me sick.
The kimchi fried rice is amazing.
I love Yuko Maki and Ive been coming here for years! Is it the fanciest sushi? Nope. But its reliably good with excellent portion sizes and great prices. Even after all the years, they remain one of the most reasonably priced sushi places on Lonsdale. My favorite is the Spicy Shrimp Roll. Ive never found anywhere else that does it, even when I go traveling... Its a specific thing to the Yuko Maki chefs. But I definitely recommend it! Theres plenty of specialty rolls to enjoy as well, and big booths to fit everyone coming for dinner. Dont miss this North Van staple.
Awesome
One of the best cozy, friendly, and cultural restaurants in town!
Consistent every time. Reasonable prices
Very average sushi, portion size is okay for the price, good for a quick fix but definitely there are better sushi places around town.
Delicious meal, had box #4 families first time trying tempura sample and it was a hit Parking: Kid-friendliness: My grandchildren were so excited and enjoyed the chicken teriyaki bowls
It is a place for a casual yet delicious dining. The ambient was more like a casual dining. They had a great selection of food. We will definitely return.
Nice, relaxed and friendly place to enjoy good sushi goya, yakisoba,nigiri, miso soup... Ample servings, we will be back for Box 3 and 6 (good deal!) Food
Not interested
This place is fantastic. Cant get enough.
Very little mango in the mango avo roll. Hardly tasted it. Prices are good though.
Poor costumer service.
I love their 3 item combos. They r fast and the price is good. once I ordered chicken karage and got chicken wings - not the type of karage I was expediting. Not a fan of their fried yam. I particularly like their tofu teriyaki.
very affordable and chill
Food was great for a reasonable price
Food was, as always, good. Their service is fairly quick.
Try their combo boxes. You can taste 4 different things at the same time.
Delicious food
Yuko sushi
Food is always good. Prices are still fair. The sushi special is a bonus for us who love options
Good food good service price is very reasonable!
i was pressured to buy more food than i could eat by a server who was rude, rolling her eyes, sighing. my special requests were not met. the ingredients did not seem fresh. one of the cooks was using his cellphone on the line and didn t wash his hands before going back to preparing food.
love yuko maki! right in the heart of Lonsdale, easily accessible by bus or parking available along the street. delicious food, great prices and combos. this is our go to sushi place, and we love it. looks great now too with a nice red awning. Vegetarian options: veggie sushi available
I d give it a 5 for the food, but the service lacked. The food came super quick. Great value - large portion entree. Tofu teriyaki, rice and miso for $12. And the meat options were the same price. Free 1 hour parking on the street. Outdoor eating in the sidewalk. FYI they do not take American Express. Vegetarian options: Agedashi tofu, teriyaki tofu - really good! Also had several vegetable tempura types.
Cheap and delicious
Ichi Roll (YUM), Dynamite Roll (two prawns, awesome price), and two Salmon Nigiri.
Great Value. My favorite sushi spot.
UPDATED Review, Yuko Maki is one of the only Sushi place Ive consistently gone to almost every weekend, for almost the past 8 years. I posted a picture of their Gomae because it deserves to be there. It is literally the best Gomae Ive tasted from anywhere, something about their sesame sauce, so good. Im obsessed but they also have an Ika Karage which is also the best squid/calamari I have ever tasted, like wow, the chefs are amazing and then the negitoro cone, is spot on, makes my taste buds dance. they are super affordable and having amazing booths to sit in with your family or just with your partner I definitely love this place, they have these amazing sushi specials and super combos you wont regret trying. If your in North Vancouver definitely try out this place, and their freaking Gomae, its a spinach salad with sesame sauce for those that arent familiar anyways Yuko Maki keep it up and dont raise your prices too high I love Yuko Maki because your the best priced sushi place around.
I ordered for take-out twice and I am pretty satisfied with the food. Its hot and taste good. The service is quick and nice.
Very good value for sushi!
Still fantastic portions for the price and spicy scallop based rolls are still the best Ive had anywhere.
Yuki maki is the best, most consistent, most reliable, and extremely affordable sushi restaurant Ive ever been in.
I find this to be not one of the most but the actual most horrible sushi joint Ive ever experienced. Couldnt even eat the chicken had a funky taste so I gave it to my dog . The roll had a very poor presentation and was very dry... Will not ever be back here again
Amazing food, prices and service.
amazing sushi at awesome prices. Our go to when in North Vancouver
Customer service is terrible. Food is average. Staff don t acknowledge customers and dont check on you. Food : 3/5
there was a dead bug in my salad and they didnt even apologize for it. I noticed it after finishing my food so I didnt bother getting it replaced. When we told our server about it, she did not apologize or even at least acknowledge it, instead she started speaking to her coworker in their language. She quickly took the tray away and brought it to the kitchen without saying a word. A few minutes passed and the server came back saying, the manager will give $3 discount. We werent really expecting much to begin with since they are known to be unhygienic but the least they could do is apologize. When we got our receipt, it was only $2 off , which isnt much different.
Great food. Good price.
Standard sushi. Minimal service. Cheaper prices.
Cheap, cheerful with good food. A winning combo in my books. I ordered the box 6 combo and the tempura was fresh and crispy, the Wakame salad was great, and the unagi was exactly what I wanted. Thanks! Food
Great food, fast service, and you cant beat the prices! Its one of our favorite sushi places in North Van!
The food is great for the price, its a solid 4.5/5 but its not gourmet sushi. The service is adequate but they will not be coming to ask if you need anything else after bringing you your initial order. Still, I frequently visit this place with my family when Im in the area which is usually about once a week. The place is clean and Ive never been disappointed with the food which is consistently good. The service could be better but I have no complaints about it as theyve never been rude just not what I would consider friendly. The fact I go there often should be enough o for a positive review Vegetarian options: They have veggie rolls and a few vegetarian options
Tasty and delicious plus the price is cheap!
I have been coming here for more than a decade. Great sushi on a budget. Healthy portions
The most amazing sushi rolls you can ever get.
Delicious teriyaki crispy chicken. And service is good
I dont know if its always like this but deep fryer oil seemed like it could use a change. Not the greatest Bento Ive had. I probably finished half of it.
I wish I could give this place -5. Ordered for the first time on DoorDash. After one hour of waiting the restaurant canceled the order on me.
Portion size of sashimi is big and very fresh. All foods are affordable and tastes good.
Try their Crab Salad
One of my favorite restaurants in North Van
Good price & big sushi
Great quality food. Good portion sizes. Clean and fast service.
The Food Delicios I Love the Box (shared picture), But the tea they serve was very bland, it didnt taste like anything.
Good quantity served quickly for reasonable prices
So freshhh and good
After trying almost all the sushi places in and around Lonsdale this is our regular as good quality and value
This place is good we tried our favorite order there again. box A if u want beef ( u can request extra beef for 2$?) bbq eel (this is good one its a belly) calamari (squid) if you want special sushi king kong roll ( its like a spicy sashimi tuna w/rice) green leaf roll (yam & avocado) if u want vegetables dragon roll (its eel) hvnt tried it but i like to if u want to save cash theres a order of sushi only that cost 4$? its California roll 8 pieces we got a good experience here. try something new on your menu so u can have your favorite too
Yukon Maki is a very mainstream sushi place. Located in the central Lonsdale of North Vancouver, it is a roomy locale and from the busy-ness of the restaurant, its clear that the food is consistent and respectably good. Nothing fancy or overwhelming, it is a solid place for a lunch or an easy after work dinner. The service is prompt, pleasant and effective but not overly attentive. The menu has all the expected choices, and the dishes arrive promptly although not necessarily in the order expected. Pricing is on par with other establishments of similar caliber, and quite reasonable. A solid choice but nothing to wow you. I recommend it for a casual fare.
Large meal, great price. Very clean. Will definitely visit this place again.
We love this place. We have been going to this restaurant for more than 15 years. Thank you to all the workers in this restaurant.
love that place I take the special and I am more tgen full
Friendly Staff,, Good food and their price fits your budget,,.
I liked the menu but the sashmi pieces (size) offered are smaller compared to conventional sushi joints.Never order sashimi platter..
Very delicious!
Revising my previous review. The service has noticeably improved over the past six months. The food is still delicious. The value-for-price is by far the best in central Lonsdale. If you came here before and hated the service, you should try coming again.
You get what you pay for at Yuko Maki. I often find these guys cut their rolls too big. Sometimes their rolls just fall apart on me and arent constructed well enough. They often make their end pieces cut too huge. Never the less, if youre into quick neighborhood sushi, this is a good spot. There are small nuances to their roll construction you might question, but then you should catch yourself remembering that youre ordering off their 13 dollar super combo menu, which is a pretty sweet deal anyway. Taper your expectations a little here. Whenever I order here, my food is always ready for pick up within 20 minutes. Staff are polite on the phone to me and friendly when I arrive. The dining area itself is pretty standard fare and leaves a little to be desired, but again: for its price point, this Yuko Maki is a great neighborhood spot for some quick pick up.
Terrible sushi. Quantity over quality for this sushi place. It stays in business due to its prices, which are not safe from the COVID and inflation price hikes plaguing dining out. The Ebi in the sumomono tasted off. The beef teriyaki roll tasted like dog food. Never eating here again.
First time visiting after friends recommendation, was not disappointed. Love the spicy combo, all three rolls are tasty. Size of the pieces were all over the place but that wasnt too big of a deal. Love it! Will visit again if we are in the area.
Nothing special really. You get what you pay for.
Very decent sushi for a very decent price
I like their food but the customer service could improve!
Very rude staff!! Long waiting time!! I don t recommend it at all !!!
Very egoistic staff, waited for 20 minutes and staff member doesnt received anyone from whole que. Very bad mannered people!!
Been coming here for almost a decade... pretty good & consistent quality, at a yeah, lets go for sushi price. We have tried so many other sushi places around North Van & GVA, and this restaurant is 1 of our top 2. The salmon & tuna is always buttery soft and fresh. Vegetarian options: Tempura, tofu, steamed, teriyaki. Dietary restrictions: Can make reasonable requests. Parking: Free street parking, limited parking in back Kid-friendliness: Kids welcome, but its just booths & tables Wheelchair accessibility: Front door is street level, but no push button door opener
Big helpings at a decent price
Kind servers and waiters that are always ready to assist and take your orders
A Vancouver city local s top recommendation. Since I wasn t familiar with this part of Vancouver s food spots I asked a local where to eat good sushi. This place didn t disappoint. It got pretty busy while we were there but the service kept up. They also had numerous take-out orders being picked up. This spot has good business and people enjoy their food. I thought the food was good. The variety was very nice, and the plating they used was also very nice. In my opinion, their Volcano sushi roll was the best sushi on their menu. I noticed our food came out pretty quick so they must ve done some preparation to ensure this. I can t complain about the service, but let s just say the octopus, salmon, etc. dish wasn t my cup of tea . I would recommend this spot because they have a good variety so you won t be stuck choosing between this soup or that soup. There are many more options. We ordered 1x Chicken Teriyaki Combo, 2x small soups, 1x Volcano Sushi roll, and 1x combination sushi plate with octopus, salmon, etc.
Love the combo specials. Good quantity
Good food and inexpensive. Still good.
Person( man) who answered the phone was very rude and in rush. Didnt let me talk and looked like he wants to hang up on me ASAP.
Nice walk down the street
Super nice staff...food was very good..great place for a quick snack...sushi rice was done to perfection as many sushi places serve overcooked rice...we will go there again
Got some sushi here end up being food poisoned, heavy diarrhea
Really cheap for what it is. Huge variety. Quick service. It isnt the best sushi but for the cost, how can anyone complain. I was there for take out so I cant speak to dining in but my experience was pleasant.
Japanese restaurant that can be cheaper than McDonald? I ll eat here everyday.
This was a perfect casual restaurant for many years. Since the spending spree by Joke Biden and TruDuh has caused massive inflation, Yuko Maki has raised its prices by 50% which is fine, but they have committed the unforgivable sin of greatly reducing the quantity of food they serve and also the quality has gone down. Theyve lost my patronage as a result. The tuna roll, the Masago, the avacado roll, the Unagi, even the chicken teriyaki are half the size. I dont like receiving a kids portion in a Sushi shop. The crowd is not there anymore as a result of this management mistake. This restaurant will not survive.
Favorite go to sushi spot on the north shore. The super combo is a great deal and comes with a large variety of options.
Going here for years and its been a great place. I loved it because of the portion and price. But recently Ive found that prices have increased and portions have decreased hence the 3 stars. If that didnt happened 5 stars 100%.
Very affordable sushi and pretty decent quality. Obviously not top quality, but the price-to-quality ratio doesn t make sense. Many places have way worse sushi for 150% price increase.
Ive been going here now for over 5 years and value for quality is fantastic. Their service is quick, the sushi is delicious and happily a repeat customer
Good cheap sushi just be aware that 20 minutes actually means at least 30 minutes
Great value for money, a long time favourite.
Good sushi for an excellent price! We ve enjoyed the $8.99 special that you can see on the pink menu pictures. This isn t peak sushi but we are somewhat picky and would choose another place quickly if we didn t find it consistently good. Thank-you!
We are picky on our sushi and so far Yuko Maki has been very tasty, delicious and always quick for us. We mostly eat veggie rolls due to my crab allergy. haha living dangerously.
I love it there.
Yo, real talk, on balance this is the best sushi place in North Van, possibly the entire world. Get the sushi combo - 3 big ol juicy rolls (or other delectable options if thats what turns your crank) and a bowl of luke-warm miso (avec tofu) for only like $10. Cant be beat. Seriously, if you want some bougie type sushi, go down to Sushi Bella and order some $30 sushi pizza or $40 sushi volcano. Not me, nope. I want this pedestrian, standard issue, affordably priced, reasonably delicious sushi.
Ok sushi.
Super fresh!!
Excellent sushi everytime! I have been going to this place for years now.
Very affordable and good quality
Excellent. Food always quick, hot, delicious, and very reasonably priced.
Great casual family dining, my kids favorite sushi, good prices.
Excellent food for an excellent price. Weve been going to this restaurant for years and the food is always well prepared and fresh. Dont pay attention to people complaining about bad service. The staff is friendly. Its a very busy restaurant and the service and food is always very good, quick and efficient. Try their many combos and their incredible massive sized sashimi platters!
Cheap to compare with the quality !!
Love food here
Great value sushi in North vancouver
Rarely disappointed unlike commercial sushi, i ll get my buddy with his bimmer to drive across the bridge. It s fantastic!
it rained all day and I wanted to eat out tonight I live close to Yuko Maki and although it hasnt been my favourite go to it was close, the food was inexpensive and consistent.I probably hadnt been there in a year We entered and it looked the same as always. but...It looked more cozy this time as I left the wind and rain battering the door behind me The delicious smell of steaming Miso reminded me of why I chose Japanese tonight at the front of the restaurant are bags upon bags of take out waiting to be picked up. Covid is good to Yuki Maki We showed our covid passports and were seated The server wasnt friendly(I dont think they ever are)but it was really busy there.Maybe Im complaining too much. she brought us hot Green tea, it was the best thing since coming in from out of the cold (and wet) in the background I could faintly hear classic rock.I would of rather listened to buddhist chimes then Bon Jovi Living on a Prayer but no place is perfect We sat in a booth,I love booths.I could hear medium volume chatter from the other patrons, the servers were running around an you could hear a constant (strong accent) voice of the girl at the cash register taking order on the phone, one after another after another I looked around me,It had been a while since I was here,I got an almost Christmas vibe,I smiled :) We were hungry and so made up our minds quick Food was served, chopsticks were split, we mixed soy with wasabi in those little dishes and we let er have it nosh nosh sushi was fresh, gyoza was cooked almost perfect, the spicy fried tofu was spicy good.the chicken teriyaki was hot, tender and sweet but not too sweet I might of missed on a a few things on the plate but believe me it was good anything else, are you done?the waitress popped her head in, then cleared our plates and poured more green tea in one motion I sat back and took my time on this final cup of perfectly brewed Japanese tea I paid up, it was just over $20 a person with the tip and Im ready to conquer the elements outside once again I asked myself has it always been this good?who cares, it was real good tonight. Ill be back
Nice food, great price and good service.
Best. Sushi. Ever.
We always eat here and most of all getting take out at least 2x a week. Always good and reasonable price. Lovely sushi and fresh sashimis . I highly recommend this place. My friends loved it too. See you again Yukomaki!!!
Food is good but the service at this place is non-existent. You have to literally wave them down to get attention, but even then no one comes to help you. They throw the food onto the table and then just walk away. Don t come here if your expecting to get any sort of service. Take out is the better option.
Excellent food, service and value prices!
The prices are great The foods are fresh The staff are so warm and friendly
Good food, fair price and quick service!
Excellent and quick
Really bad service if you order take out. Some of the crab rolls like the California roll are reaaally bad. But the rest is pretty much fine.
Fantastic food at a very reasonable price. Takeout only right now but there are patio seats on the street.
Great budget sushi place. Quick and tasty
LOVE Yuko Maki. Food comes fresh and delicious! And the price is right. I always get the spicy tuna roll with spicy mayo and a miso soup.
Nice sushi place
Amazing sushi and price
Ordered the super combo and was very pleasantly surprised with how much food I got for the price I paid. Also the food was very delicious!
First timer. Just ordered in for my dad and I to have some sushi snacks and let me tell you, such a happy surprise! The takoyaki is delicious! One of my favourites of all time! Pops got a chicken teriyaki bento box and it was massive AND delicious. Spicy tuna, scallop roll, salmon tempura roll, gyoza- all fantastic. Recommended!
Hands down the worst service of any sushi restaurant on the North Shore. Food is fairly well priced, but the service makes you want to never come back.
Possibly my favorite sushi place on the shore. Great menu good prices fast service
On the less expensive side, but you can definitely tell if youre used to higher quality sushi.
Been my go to sushi place for a while now. Their super quick and the sushi special is great value. Highly recommend
Really cheap for the amount of food. Amazing!
Its great for what you get!
Big portions, nice sushi, good variety. Very recommended
