Amazing service, very friendly chefs and servers! And the food was very fresh and tasty!! Also talk about bang for your buck, huge portions compared to any other sushi in its area! Thank you! You have yourself a customer for life!

I’m sorry, but there are definitely better restaurants in Vancouver that deserve a top 50 spot. This one? Not even in my top 500. The presentation was okay, but the taste didn’t quite hit the mark. I ordered the Teriyaki Chicken Don, and the texture of the meat felt a bit off—almost like it had a slightly spoiled quality—and there was a gamey smell that I just couldn’t handle. That said, it’s priced around $15, so I guess you get what you pay for.

JL Sushi & Kitchen Location: 140 Lonsdale Ave, North Vancouver, BC V7M 2E8 Overview: Located on Lonsdale Avenue in North Vancouver, JL Sushi & Kitchen offers a range of Japanese-inspired dishes in a casual dining setting. During our visit, we experienced a variety of items, each showcasing different aspects of the restaurant’s culinary approach. While the meal had its highlights, some dishes left room for improvement. Service: Upon arrival, we were promptly greeted by the hostess and seated without delay. The service throughout the meal was attentive and friendly, with our waitress making sure we were well taken care of. This level of hospitality certainly enhanced the dining experience. Rating : 8/10 Foods: • Tako Wasabi: The Tako Wasabi featured seasoned octopus paired with a hint of wasabi. The balance between the savory flavors of the octopus and the sharp kick of wasabi was well-executed. However, the accompanying seaweed portion was somewhat sparse, limiting its potential as a balanced side element. Despite this minor shortcoming, the dish was enjoyable and satisfying. Rating: 8/10 • JL Poke Bowl (Brown Rice & Avocado): The poke bowl, featuring brown rice and avocado, was underwhelming. While the ingredients were fresh, the portion was smaller than expected, and the overall flavor profile lacked the depth found in similar dishes at other establishments. There was nothing particularly memorable about the dish, and it didn’t stand out amidst the other offerings. Rating: 6/10 • Lonsdale Crossing Roll: This roll combined prawn and yam tempura with cream cheese and crab meat, topped with avocado and a special house sauce. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, with the creaminess of the avocado and crab working harmoniously with the crispy tempura. The special sauce added a delightful finishing touch, making this one of the more successful dishes of the evening. Rating: 8/10 • Katsu Don: The Katsu Don, featuring deep-fried breaded pork and egg served over rice with Japanese soup stock, was another strong dish. The pork was perfectly fried, maintaining a crisp texture while remaining tender inside. The seasoning was well-balanced, and the dish as a whole was comforting and flavorful. Rating: 8/10 • Oyster Motoyaki: Unfortunately, the Oyster Motoyaki was the least enjoyable dish of the night. The dish was overly dominated by mayonnaise-based sauce, which masked the flavor of the oysters. Compared to similar offerings at other Japanese restaurants, this rendition was disappointing. The portion was served in a platter-style presentation, and the overall taste failed to impress. Rating: 4/10 Ambiance: The ambiance of JL Sushi & Kitchen is functional but not particularly remarkable. While the space was clean and comfortable, there was nothing about the decor or atmosphere that stood out or elevated the dining experience. It’s a suitable spot for a casual meal, but it lacks the visual or experiential elements that might make it more memorable. Price: The prices were reasonable given the quality and quantity of food. While some dishes didn’t quite meet expectations, the pricing was in line with similar restaurants in the area, making it an affordable option for those seeking Japanese cuisine. Verdict: Overall, JL Sushi & Kitchen provides a decent dining experience, with a few standout dishes alongside some that could use improvement. The service was a definite highlight, and the reasonable pricing makes it a viable option for those in the area. While there were some disappointments, particularly with the Oyster Motoyaki, I would consider returning to explore more of the menu, especially given the quality of the Katsu Don and Lonsdale Crossing Roll.

My partner and I came here for dinner a few weeks ago. He ordered the teriyaki set A and I ordered a veggie combo which includes cucumber, avocado and yam rolls. The service was good and the food was yummy. The restaurant wasn't too busy so we didn't have to wait. We had some leftovers and asked for a take out container. We were asked to pay for this. Overall, we had a good time and we will be back.

A few blocks away from where I work. So convenient to grab a quick and affordable lunch Sets. You are getting the quality of what you’re paying. A massive portion and selection for the Lunch Sets. I ordered my set with the Salmon, it was pretty dry. But still okay to eat. I love the dynamite roll and the tempura. The servers were so pleasant and friendly. Glad to know Lower Lonsdale has a great neighborhood restaurants to dine.

Great sushi store! I came here and enjoyed a lunch box, we also had the sukiyaki beef don. Both were delicious and a good serving size! We both took leftovers to go and had it for lunch the next day! Super friendly service and a well kept restaurant. It got busy at lunch so it's not a secret that it's a gem. Will be returning often and I recommend you try it out too!

Lovely interior, Ive always had great service as a solo diner. Good amount of vegetarian options. I enjoyed their normal sushi rolls, but I do like the creativeness of their special rolls, such as the corn chesse roll. Also liked the spicy agedashi tofu first time having agedashi tofu, so it was a good one. Overall love variety of options and service Also the the entrance is wheelchair accessible rare W for japanese restaurants. The only fault I can give is that The seats are too low from the table, but not all the tables felt that way. Vegetarian options: Some good vegetarian options.

I tried the poke from JL Sushi - sorry I cant recommend it. The fish wasnt really cut up (salmon), two bit portions were kind of tossed in on top of the rice. The sauce wasnt mixed in, just placed on the side and the avocado was a clump off to the side. Better mixing and prep might have been better, tasted good though.

JL Sushi & Kitchen is the premier destination for the best sushi and Japanese food in North Vancouver! My family and I walked into this restaurant with an unexpected dinner. The restaurant was very busy with many guests. We ordered Korean ramen and their famous sushi. What surprised me most was the attitude of their service staff who observed the customers very carefully. This is a service passion that I dont feel in ordinary restaurants, whether you are having lunch with friends, a family dinner, or ordering a late-night snack, I am sure this restaurant will provide food that will appeal to every customer. They offer everything from freshly made sushi rolls to sashimi, tempura, rice bowls and teriyaki plates. Next time you have a chance to go to North Vancouver, don t forget to enjoy sushi rolls and more delicacies at JL Sushi & Kitchen!

The food might be good but I wouldnt know as I waited for 15 minutes to get tea and water then another 5 mins before we decided to leave. She couldnt even take our order as she was serving... Youd think that she could get the order in, serve other orders that are coming up and this way we wouldnt need to wait long to have our order taken and have our food served to us. Service was horrible. Went across the street and food landed on our table within 5 mins.

What restaurants need to understand in these times of high inflation is: When people choose to spend their hard earned dollars on eating out, it better be amazing AND if youre charging the same prices as surrounding sushi restaurants that have a good product, it better be comparable. I felt nickel and dime at every turn for everything. What I can tell you is, I ordered a tuna/wild salmon donburi and a teriyaki roll. The donburi boasted 8 pieces of sashimi that were translucent against the rice. I am talking razor thin. The bowl was $20.00. Comparable bowls are around the same +/- 1-3 dollars. It was disappointing. The teriyaki roll was average and there was a advertised promotion for classic rolls being $2.00 off and the bill didnt reflect it. I didnt bother saying anything because she was aware of the promotion because I clarified what a classic roll was. Needless to say, I wont be back for subpar portions and high end prices that correlate to the top notch Lonsdale sushi locations elsewhere. Restaurants need to be careful because soon consumers will just stop going out. PERIOD.

JL Kitchen makes great sushi. Their items are very well constructed, made with great ingredients and very crisp and nice looking. Their menu is very extensive, with plenty of staples and unique items and adequately priced for the value. The dining area is nicely taken care of, clean and the atmosphere is usually family friendly and well lit. Its in the great walking neighborhood of lower lonsdale. Id rate these guys in the upper half of North Vans middle casual dining for Japanese restaurants. Food is expertly crafted. My dynamite roll for example was tightly packed, compact and stayed together when I picked it up. Rolls didnt have a big ball of end cuts. You can tell the sushi chef here is very experienced and efficient, with a flair for visual appeal. Id give them a perfect rating if their service was better and more on the ball. We had to wait quite a bit to be prompted for our opening drinks and items. Maybe they were just under staffed that night, but never the less our servers were friendly and got all our orders right.

This restaurant used to be my familys one of favorite restaurant. Weve been going here 4-5 years. Servers were attentive, foods came fast and accurate. However recently they have changed their servers and Ive noticed their service level going downhill. I just went today and ordered spicy chirashi don. I am allergic to cucumber and asked them to remove it completely from my dish. The server acknowledged this and promptly forgot. When the dish came out, I told them I cant eat this due to my allergy. The server took the dish back and promised to make a new one. As I looked over to sushi bar area, I saw sushi man and the server picking out cucumber from the same dish with chopstick and was going to serve the same dish back to me. Needless to say, I cancelled my order altogether and let them know this practice needs to stop. Restaurants needs to be more careful if there is allergic request.

Take away order is ready in about 10 min. Yam roll and tofu teriyaki are favourites! The prices are really good too!

Amazing sushi. Very creative next level. Service in restaurant seems to be more concerned with takeout than seated patrons.

Good service. First time getting salmon tempura on the house. Great - 9/10 The beef yakiudon was decent but nothing to write home about - 7/10 The sushi was serviceable. The rice on the California roll was falling apart - 6/10

Food is good but the service is extremely unprofessional and unwelcoming. I ordered for pick up through UberEats, went there to pick it up by the time the app was showing, it wasn t ready which I understand. The waitress working at the time had the worst attitude and her tone when I asked her when my order is going to be ready was very condescending. I d give 5 stars for food but I going to rate 1 star because of the way I was treated.

Over a hour wait for take out, restaurant wasnt busy. They should be more clear about this on their website. Might be back as food was passable but definitely not in the top 50 restaurants for North Vancouver based on service alone. Watching these guys make sushi is like watching paint dry.

Their chirashi don is so fresh and a variety of sashimi is definitely worth a try! If Chirashi is this good, next time I am definitely trying the platter!

BIG shutout to JL! After trying all kinds of expensive yet bland food near the Quay, finally got a chance to try this one which my coworker recommended. Super kind owner, efficient service, and well-packaged food! The tempuras were crispy and tasted perfect when paired with the sweet sauce. Teriyaki beef has a lot of stir fried veg underneath which has smoky flavor that I like. Teriyaki sauce was packaged separately which made the experience stand out to all other places. Very balanced meal and they portion is so generous that gave me enough leftovers for another meal! Will come back as long as work onsite!

Terrible experience with the chef. I ordered a salmon avocado roll, dynamite roll and a negitoro roll. The negitoro roll and dynamite roll tasted GREAT, but the salmon tasted bad on the salmon avocado roll. I POLITELY and KINDLY told the waitress that my salmon avocado roll tasted weird. The chef came over to ask me what was wrong and proceeded to say that the fish is fresh and that I AM WRONG. The sushi chef told me that it was the belly of the salmon and that I am a I AM A BEGINNER LEVEL TO SUSHI. That is just unexpectable, what establishment would try to make you feel like your in the wrong. They proceeded to bring me a slice of salmon to prove me wrong... WHO DOES THAT?!?! The salmon tasted bad and they wanted me to take out a piece from my roll to compare the difference. I proceeded to try the bad salmon on its own and couldnt help spitting it out, it was very disrespectful of me to do that in front of the chef. But the taste was very fowl. I enjoyed the negitoro and dynamite roll, but from the experience I got... I have to give this place a 1 star review. I dont want a sorry or credit from a chef that tries to make me feel like I was wrong. I tried to be nice about it... But the chef has to much pride. ¯\_( )_/¯ Oh, the waitress we had was great though.

Cute place, the food was good and reasonably priced for the meal, but the rolls themselves were a little small for the price compared to other restaurants in the area. The servers were very attentive and the meal was out quickly. Very covid cautious which was reassuring.

Nice sushi. Spicy Tuna Roll had a bit too much sauce on it, I would ask for it on the side. Chicken Teriyaki roll is a meal unto it.
