Situated in the heart of Port Moody, Murasaki blends ancient Japanese tradition with contemporary local taste. Our menu is carefully crafted using the highest quality ingredients and served with passion. We welcome you into our restaurant and look forward to serving you soon.
The people are very kind and the atmosphere of the place is very friendly. With good tasting food and service, I’d really come here often for a meal.
Best food. Only place I go for sushi. Best service. They've known my different orders by heart for 4+ years Best atmosphere. Chuck the Sushi Master has an excellent taste I'm music. Never recommended the place before because didn't want the place to be discovered. But its highly recommended 👌
I am a regular customer at Murasaki Restaurant. I usually order their sushi, which is very tasty. The staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is great. 😊
This place is my favorite sushi place in Tri-cities and maybe entire Vancouver. The food, service and ambiance are just so pleasant that calls you back. I think I have came here more than 20 times in the last year. Highly recommend it.
Great service! Great food! Salmon Lover sushi is delicious. Zaru Soba and unagi don. The separated room has perfect privacy, make me feel even better! Ordered a lot and had to take some left, home.
Honestly, if you are in the area, this is the absolute spot! The food here is positively incredible, and it has the best unagi roll I’ve had in AGES. And not to mention, I have literally never experienced better service here. The staff is amazing, and so, so sweet. I went here with my family in between one of my family members’ hockey games. Currently I’m sitting here writing this in awe of the amazing food, service and atmosphere. One of the best places I’ve ever been. 10/10, will recommend to anyone coming to town!
the atmosphere is so cozy and warm, every single piece of furniture is so carefully articulated and suited for the customer. we ordered the viper roll, lobster roll, leo roll, soba noodles, and sashimi. the sashimi was so rich and melts in your mouth and the presentation of the dishes were stunning. the servers are nice and frequently checked up on us. even the washrooms are clean and nice. overall, this restaurant is amazing and i would recommend eating here.
Had sushi lunch box here. I enjoyed it very much. Portions seem good and tasted great. Do they use Farmed salmon or fresh? Seemed to look Farmed? Service was fine, attentive and pleasant. Looking around my booth: the walls looked filthy with splash marks on the tiles wall. Could use a good deep cleaning. Decorated nicely. I would go back if in the neighborhood.
I can only reply to owner s reply here, as nowhere else I can do it. Yes, it was at your Murasaki Japanese Restaurant and I posted last year. As you have since then never reply (until now), I re-posted it a few hours ago, and that led to your current reply. **************** The original review below: I used to have lunch at this restaurant and those experiences were good. But in today s lunch the salmon sashimi I had has a somewhat weird taste and smell, the colour is dull. The meat texture is loose, not as tense as those I had before. It doesn t look as fresh as before. I asked why. Their reply was that now is a time that they could only get such low quality salmon fish. They said sorry about that. However, now that they already knew the fish was not good, why still sell them? And still sell them at the usual price? I have been feeling slightly stomach upset after the meal even though have no way to confirm its relation to the quality of the fish. I wish they could have warned the customer of the issue before hand. Or stop selling foods of such quality.
Reminiscent of my time in Japan. Very good service, and a great atmosphere.
Me and all of my teen friends went here and the staff is amazing!
Very good food reasonable prices
Consistently good food and great service !
Good!
beautiful place in the heart of newport. I love coming here!
Great tasting food, comfortable atmosphere and service was very nice
Love this restaurant! Really good service and great atmosphere. I would recommend!
Really lovely restaurant, great service and nice cozy atmosphere
Just finished painting the Christmas Windows here in Newport Village Stopped here for dinner afterwards- super yummy - great friendly service!
Great service, very friendly! Food was delicious
Everyone in this restaurant is friendly, and the katsu cuisine is delicious I definitely recommend! Food
In a pretty neighborhood in Port Moody Its well located, the food is all delicious, clean, and the friendly service makes me feel good haha. I recommend this restaurant ^^
Lovely decor when you sit in, though we tend to order to go because the food is so amazing (perfect for watching movies and hockey games!). We bring our own containers for take-out and theyre super accommodating (they have our usual side requests under our phone number), and the sushi is AMAZING! We like to try a variety of new dishes so weve tried a bunch of special rolls, and theyre all very good (our favourite is anything with unagi!). Fresh ingredients, fresh taste, and great staff & service!
When you walk in, its very welcoming and warming! The design of the place isnt overbearing or too simplistic plus the food is delicious. Also the waiters are very nice and so is the background music!
The food is very fresh and fast. Great dining experience
Staff are always wonderful Weve never had a bad meal. Rolls are reasonably priced compared to other restaurants around, and very delicious!
So enjoyed coming here for first time recently. Sushi was so professionally presented and so fresh, plus absolutely delicious! Dancing Unagi and Apple bBossom specialty rolls were like artwork on a plate, then a party in the mouth. YUM!!! All were so friendly and attentive. I really was impressed! Loved the atmosphere too. I will return SOON! Parking: Parking outside was easy, and it was fun visiting other places nearby for shopping too.
A delightful authentic Japanese restaurant, great food, excellent service and very reasonable prices. You feel welcomed the moment you enter Food
This place is fantastic! Food is fantastic and love the booths and private rooms! One of our go to Port Moody favourites!
GOOD
Good value items plus a long menu of specialities
Great food and great customer service!
Lovely sushi restaurant with great deals!
Great little restraunt with great service
An exemplary sushi dining experience in the Tri-Cities.
We noticed the server was eager to take orders and collect bills when we walked in. She spent little time on service. We did not receive water and no tea until after we get our food. We ordered two things. Chicken was definitely not fresh. It had a nasty smell and really bad texture. Sushi was mixed with unconventional sauce which we did not appreciate. Aside from food being bad, we spoke with the waitress and she wasn t too concerned. She did not once checked on us.We ask for the bill and she came within seconds to collect. We told her of our concerns and told her we cannot tip with such poor quality food and service. She was eager to collect our money and express no remorse with a nice smile. I don t understand how people give this place 4stars plus.
Local favorite
Friendly and very tasty
So delicious!
Wonderful service, fresf food, great prices and comfy atmosphere.
Very nice restaurant, amazing service, no wait times, good prices, perfect food Parking: Many spots, may have to park underground Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible
Our fave local sushi restaurant!! So lovely here, and so delicious. We ve been coming here since kiddo was a baby, around 9 years now! Food
great service, food and value all the staff are friendly and knowledgable would recommend highly!! Food : 5/5
Food, the taste is AMAZING Chuck, this is leo When it comes to sushi, I am very fussy, and it was the first time here, and i have to admit that Fn delicious Definitely will be back Keep it up!!!
Absolute jewel of a Japanese restaurant in the New Port Village in Port Moody. The private rooms are numerous, clean and compliment the excellent menu. We eat a lot of Japanese food and will be making the drive to return here soon.
I love the environment and the passionate service by the staff.
Really enjoyed my experience here! Everything tasted so fresh and delicious, and our server was so nice
Ordered from this place last week . Very disappointed portions were extremely small (we counted 3 pieces of beef lol) again proving to be low quality. Too bad Ihad high hopes to get a good Japanese restaurant in my hood. Way overpriced for what you re getting. Wheelchair accessibility: Yes Btw I do not recommend any dishes I had to choose one to be able to post this lol
If youre looking for a restaurant that offers exceptional value without compromising on quality, Murasaki should be at the top of your list. One of the real standouts at Murasaki is their Maki Dinner. The Maki Dinner offers an assortment of rolls, teriyaki, and soup making it a great bang for your buck. The portion sizes for the Maki Dinner are generous, making it a satisfying meal. Additionally, the variety included in the dinner is commendable. The ambiance at Murasaki is both cozy and elegant, providing a perfect backdrop for enjoying your meal. The staff is attentive and friendly, ensuring that your dining experience is pleasant from start to finish. Whether youre dining in or taking out, the service at Murasaki is consistently top-notch. Vegetarian options: Tofu maki dinner
The BEST sushi in Port Moody. Everything is so fresh and so reasonably priced! Definitely coming back
We were there last night. Our grandkids were there and we asked if they could bring the food fast, all the food was there in no time! We had a great time
Great atmosphere and so hospitable! Food was amazing and the service was impeccable. Thanks for a great fathers day Murasaki!
Really good service and food. Will be back.
Dropped in here on a whim. Ordered Sashimi bento takeout. It was fast and the rice and sashimi were very good. Also gave me a lot of cute containers. My girlfriend can make more bentos with them :)
The best sushi in the tri-cities!
Pros: tasty food and good service Cons: Shrinkflation tuna roll, Gyoza sent back, and an ear splitting Jazz soundtrack. Food : 3/5
They went above and beyond. Great food and friendly staff.
What a nice hidden gem we came across. The restaurant is very clean, even the washrooms are immaculate. The staff is friendly and are actually Japanese. When you first walk in and sit down and are offered a cup of green tea, it feels like you are at a friends house sharing food they have made. The food is delicious and are generous portions. Lovely people work here. Well definitely be back! Wheelchair accessibility: handicapped parking close by
Every time I visit my nonna in Port Moody we go here and won t eat any where else. The food is amazing, the owners are kind and the service is phenomenal!
Great food and service
We found the food varied and abundant. Good atmosphere with Jazz music in the background. They greeted us and treated us very well.
Great experience! Tasty food, authentic atmosphere and seating and reasonably priced! Also, a very attentive server added to the pleasant experience of visiting this restaurant. I would totally recommend! Food
Quality is incredible. Sashimi is top notch, and even the Cali rolls (staple at all sushi spots) are delicious. Friendly staff and great drink selections. Absolutely amazing spot. I live in East Van and Ive now found a spot that I will drive too.
One of my favourite local sushi restaurants! Food and service is always 100%. I dont dine in very often but the atmosphere hasnt changed much here over the years. Feels nice and cozy with the booths super friendly staff. Love you guys! Never a long wait!
Best spicy tuna roll in town by a long shot
Excellent food. Ordered a chicken donburi, it came with a miso soup, totally worth it. Would definitely recommend.
I like the bento boxes although it comes with rice and nothing to put on it which I find a little odd. I ordered the spicy mayo for my sashimi which is just sriracha and mayonnaise and it tasted off. I finally figured it out! They use miracle whip as mayo instead of normal mayo and it tastes awful. If you don t like tangy, sour spicy mayo don t order it from here!
I had the $18 Sashimi and Sushi Lunch Bento, shown in the photo. It was an excellent value, fresh and delicious!
I have been a few times to Murasaki & have to say this is my new go-to for Sushi! So fresh & delicious! Always wonderful friendly service each time were there! Highly recommend!
It s a lovely local place and has customer parking as well. We went there on a Sunday evening and it was not very crowded. Even though we booked in advance, probably for a Sunday, you won t need to. They welcomed us with free hot green tea (free refills also provided). For starter, we ordered yakitori and Asahi beer and it came with coleslaw too. Yakitori was fresh and tender and well cooked, with delicious Teriyaki sauce. Coleslaw was also fresh and tasty. For main, we ordered Katsu-chicken and Japanese chicken curry. Katsu was a big dish that came with green salad, rice and Miso soup and Katsu sauce. It was huge, totally enough for 2. You can get 1 Katsu plus an extra rice bowl (I guess $2) and that s more than enough for 2. Miso soup was also tasty but not too authentic. We loved it because it was mild and not too sea-like, compared to the original miso soups in Japan. perfect for those like us who don t like the strong taste of sea in their food. Curry was mild and OK: vegetables like onions and carrots were much more than the chicken. Compared to authentic ones in Japan, these portions were not at the right balance. Also, it was a bit soupy but the staff were so nice and brought us complimentary edamame. All in all, I will definitely go there again. The overall feeling was good, I gotta say though, not the most affordable place for Asahi beer ($10 per bottle) Last but not least. our waitress Jessica (apologies for assuming gender based on looks) was very nice. She explained about the foods we didn t know and never failed to check on us or bring us things as soon as possible. Good job Jessica!
Great food and great people. Definitely worth checking out!
Just had this place for lunch, it was outstanding! We ordered 5 different special rolls they were ALL delicious! The tuna sashimi was so smooth and excellent quality! The prices are amazing and reasonable, I highly suggest you try them out! 5 stars ! the special rolls
Only sushi place Ive been to with tempera in their Ranbow roll, couldnt eat it because Im gluten free. no description on the menu to let you know.
Excellent very hot food and lots of it. Great service. Highly recommended
Highly recommended!
Amazing experience we had our own booth. Great service the chicken teriyaki is a must try new dynamite very delicious. Will definitely come back
My new favourite sushi place! The rolls were delicious and reasonably priced. The staff was super attentive and friendly too.
I had sushi here once. I honestly wish it was a little closer to my place, because it seems like one of the best options in the area. The food was really good and the service was efficient and friendly.
Loved this place. Waitress was awesome. Sushi was presented well and tasted wonderful.
The food was fabulous and excellent value too, the Bento box portions were very big and we loved the tatami rooms!!
My favourite sushi spot in the area :) workers are so nice and the atmosphere is always cozy.
The food is really good, sizable portions. A good value for for money! Staff is always very friendly, they appreciate clients coming in.
I ve said it before! This place is my go to to for sushi in Port Moody! Since I ve moved and been living in Coquitlam for 2.5 years now! I still stand by what I ve said before! THIS IS THE GO TO FOR SUSHI!!! Friendly service and great food!!!! Ordered dinner for pick up tonight! Normally I got for Moody boat tray or Rocky point tray! Tonight I ordered part tray C! Love everyone at Muraski and thankyou!!!!
I had been eating Ramen over greater vancouver found they made great noodle when eating noodles in soup. services friendly and excellence(I like the girls). environment relax plus cosy. it speaks itself. they have more for you to experience. Dec 1st 2023 @ 1.5pm. my name is Ken faenguston.
Personally the food was soooo good but the design of some of the rolls didn t look the best but the taste was worth it Parking: Even if there was not any parking you can go to the other place and park there and just walk 1 minute and your there
Nice place in a plaza area. The service was great. They refilled our tea promptly, our server was so pleasant and humble. We ordered the prawn tempura, chashu ramen and aburi salmon scallop roll. The tempura and sauce was steaming hot. I dont think Ive seen the sauce hot before when I irder tempura. The ramen brith was a little bland but the noodles and chashu was soft and good. The sushi roll was good too. The salmon and scallop tasted fresh, and not fishy. It was a good size. Will definitely come back if we are in the area or after we hike Buntzen Lake or something.
Really loved this sushi spot! Great, friendly and attentive service. They have the little booths that we sat in which felt like a private dining experience. The food was very tasty as well. We had the gomae salad, tofu teriyaki and volcano roll. The servers checked on us several times and tea refills were quick!
met a good friend for lunch today here at Murasaki....... our server was so polite and attentive........ our meals were fantastic, presentation was like that at a high end restaurant .....for the first time decided to have the Teryaki beef bento ........... it was amazing and will definitely be back ........ great value for the price Parking: was able to park right in front of the Murasaki, the lot is busy but there were plenty of spaces available .
The food was good. They have Veggie Gyoza which I liked and the Dynamite rolls were tasty. Fairly priced and good sized portions
Very good service and authentic food in suburbs. We went there on weekend night it was not as busy as we expected. More people need to try and appreciate it
Very tasty.
Don t believe the menu from their website, even photos from Google. The prices are not updated promptly. Food quality is way far for the prices. I will definitely choose other Sushi restaurants such as Hanayuki Sushi next time. Not recommend.
Super friendly manager. She served us with great care and humour! This restaurant takes great care of allergies as well. Great service and great food. Will definitely be going back.
The welcome was as warm as the food. What a great experience. The manager made us feel very comfortable and even accomodated allergies with a smile. We loved her humour. The delicious food left us satisfied and the hospitality will bring us back.
Meh. It was okay I guess. I was very hungry so I ate it all. But Nothing impressive to be honest.
Had been here in the past which is why we came back. Pleasant server but could not understand her (too fast & strong accent) & she couldn t explain some questions. Bento box food good. Spicy tofu came in a bowl of mush. Spicy tuna rolls were tiny, & misshaped. Looked like they had been dropped & put on plate. First I thought perhaps it was someone novice making them. When sent back, the chef came out and argued that they always look like that. I know times are tough, but I would never recommend going back there.
Came here for indoor dining. Was a good experience, good value, generous portions. But when I returned for take out, completely different experience. The manager (I assume) was rude over the phone, rushed me so she could take another call, and cut me off over the phone to yell at a staff. When I picked up, I asked for the receipt, she put the receipt down on the counter far out of my reach and walked away. Not even a thank you for my business while indoor dining is banned. Cool. Ill go back to Sushi Town from now on.
Murasaki Japanese restaurant was a lovely spot for an early dinner with my mom. As a vegan I really enjoyed having quite a few options here! I enjoyed the dancing shiitake roll which was a mushroom based roll with a really interesting texture and sauce. I also had the tropical punch roll which had pineapple and mango and was very refreshing!! The server was nice and accommodating. I recommend for vegan sushi for sure! The chef also stopped by to ensure I liked it. Definitely recommend.
Tuna sushi.. How thin is the tuna Never order one is like that...
So convenient being within walking distance. I ordered online and my order was ready within 20 minutes and was executed perfectly. Thd spicy tuna roll had a very nice texture and just enough spice. The spicy yam tempura roll was delicious and not too big that it falls apart when you pick it up. The dynamite roll had no imitation crab which was a bit different. Overall a good meal and fresh. Will order again and try different items. *update. Went back July 2022. Service was amazing and fast. Ill give it 5 stars. Will be going back for dinner soon.
My favorite sushi place in the TriCities. Very nice comfy ambiance. Very meaty sushi with little rice. Reasonable prices.
Very good quality sushi.
Fish was not fresh, rather, stinky. This was our first time trying them, and the last time.
We went for lunch thinking it was mainly a take out sushi, you don t see inside so from the outside doesn t look like a restaurant, once you re in its very pleasant and they are really friendly. Food was very good
Kid-friendliness: Really like the staff theyre so friendly, been there about 4 times and the food and service was excellent all through. Super friendly
I had delicious Ramen here and definitely going back for seconds, thirds, fourths..... Im just going to be a regular here. The ambience was delightful, intimate and our server was so charming. She heard us say and was so happy about it. Awesome experience and highly recommend.
First time here. Definitely above average. Nice atmosphere, Jazz music, friendly service.
while the california roll and udon we ordered was delicious Im giving it a 1 because the salmon lover and the tonkatsu set was a big disappointment. The salmon lover was okay to eat, but compared to other smoked salmon rolls Ive ate, the flavour was very weak. It was like a fistfight if flavours between the cream cheese and the smoke salmon and jt ended in a draw and felt bland. For the tonkatsu, I would recommend everyone to steer away from it. The thickness of pork was thinly sliced that it wasnt even to the size of a chopstick thin end. I was tasting only the overcooked breadcrust and no texture of pork. The weirdest thing was the way the tonkatsu was sliced thinly in the long side when it is supposed to be thick and on the short side. The tonkatsu was falling through the holes of the grate that was served on top. Thats not how tonkatsu should be. It should be thick and juicy and soft on the inside with a nice soft crunch on the outside. The saving grace for me was the sauce helped me digest it. But its not just the tonkatsu that was bad. The rice was very bad. It was not sticky Japanese rice, it was hard and lukewarm, like they left it in the cooker last night and just opened it up and served it to us. I can forgive them if it was very busy but we arrived at 11:30 when the store opened and we were the first guests into the restaurant for the day. How could they screw up that bad??? Maybe Ill visit it again but Ill avoid the tonkatsu.
I used to love this place but I don t know what s going on there now! I found the rolls to be slimy and the gyoza improperly cooked. The customer service is great and I like the decor a lot! But yea unfortunately the food tonight did not do it for me.
Disappointing quality and portion
The sushi here was awesome!
Delicious ramen and sushi, friendly and comfortable separate seating areas.
My friend and I chose to eat here because we were in the area and we saw that there were many positive online reviews. We had just finished a 2 hour hike at Buntzen Trail so eatting sushi was the plan in place. Our server was super nice, but unfortunately nice doesnt cut it - my tuna sashimi was still frozen i could feel the icey crunch in my teeth and still in the thawing process; immediately de-appetized! Plus when I tried to enjoy my beef teriyaki, it tasted good until i had to pick a stringy thing out of my lips - and i looked at it and i swear it was a pubic hair! Our server changed so I had to let our new server who just started shift, and told her that i just need to let her know what happened today with our food and to let the kitchen know to be more careful and to tell our original server know. I am forever traumatized and i dissect my food with my eyes every time I eat now. My intention was to give this a zero star, but Google wont let me.
We were in the area and stopped into Muraski Sushi for lunch. We ordered two New Dynamite Rolls, a California Roll, Crunch Spicy Tuna Roll, California Roll and Prawn Tempura Combo, and the Kani Sake Tempura. Overall, decent sushi at a very good price. Our total bill was about $35 for all the food we ordered so we cant really complain. It did seem as though they might have pre-prepared the dynamite and california rolls considering the rice seemed a little stale.
Convenient location for us, good food and great service.
Thank you for todays lunch Bento sashimi lunch box for $14
Friendly service, tasty food. I d love to see them use biodegradable containers.. maybe they ll do that soon?
Good sushi place with decent price. Most of rolls are tasty.
With many options locally I always find myself coming back here. It s the best
great service and good sushi
Been going to this place for over 5 years and every time it s a great yummy experience ! The staff is always so kind and caring and the sushi is always so so tasty! Yum I also love the atmosphere inside always playing some chillax music it s a good spot to go to !
Very good Dynamite Roll
Ordered a bulgogi for 20 dollars. Showed up and they had the wrong order. Waited 20 min to get my order correct. I was shocked when I saw the portion size. No miso soup and steamed rice the size of my palm - if not smaller. The soup is supposed to be included which is stated on their menu. What a rip off for 20 dollars. Terrible customer service.
This place is terrible .. we were sooo rushed, weren t offered desert or ask if we wanted anything else. And literally we were in and out in under 30 min when we wanted a nice Dinner. The lady at the front was yelling on the phone, yelled across the restaurant and was really annoying. The ginger that came with the sushi tasted like it had sat out a week. The chicken karage was by far the worst I ve ever had. It was slimy and the chicken I swear had freezer burn. The salmon and cream cheese roll was Meh. I m definitely not picky when it comes to sushi restaurants and I m very easy to please, but I honestly don t know how this place stays in business. If you want a rushed experience where the bill is brought when you re still eating your main and someone yelling across the restaurant and shouting on the phone then this place is for you. I will Never go back. Way too many decent sushi places out there. Worst dine in experience I ve had and literally we were rushed out of there like I ve never experienced.
Went for dine in now that it s allowed again. I understand that the restaurant needs contact tracing during these times, and every restaurant I have been to does this for you (takes your name and number and the host writes it down at the host stand, so that your privacy is maintained, and also for hygienic reasons). But a very old, very used notebook was thrown onto our table with a pen for us to fill out. Isn t this a sure fire way to NOT stop the spread? It was not a sanitized pen and our table was not re sanitized after this book has been on it. If all of the customers have all touched this book and pen and had it also on their table .my thoughts exactly. Not good.
As a regular customer, I have never been disappointed. The food is so good and customers service are very nice. For a small business trying to do their best during covid time, they are great. I recommend highly this restaurant despite the last few negative reviews.
Great restaurant overall. Good dining areas, affordable but great food and good service. 10/10 in my opinion
This restaurant is following good covid rules and the quality of sushi seems good so far. The variety of the menu options is above average and Im excited to go back and try more items. Service was excellent and it was very nice to see how many regulars were coming and going for take out.
Great food and fast, friendly service!
Great food and atmosphere! I love the music too :)
This restaurant is in the heart of Newport Village. This was my second time visiting the restaurant. We were welcomed by a very friendly and courteous staff and some delicious green tea. We ordered some sake and the one of the reasons for visiting the restaurant were the sizzling scallops that my friend had ordered and enjoyed during our last visit. The scallops did not disappoint my friend though the quantity could have been more. Being a vegetarian, I ordered the vegetarian gyozas and the veg combo roll. I enjoyed the gyozas. My other friend enjoyed his vegetarian udon noodles. The service is good, we did not have to wait long for our food. I was really impressed by the brightly lit and clean bathrooms.
The best sushi in coquitlam with a friendly staff
First time at Murasaki and they didnt disappoint! Highly recommended this restaurant, service was great , the price was right but most of all the food was delicious. I will go back and bring friends
Price is reasonable. Big slices of sashimi. Very comfortable seating
I just tried to puthad no service. in an order for takeout. I went to the restaurant. Waited for 15 minutes & had no service. Other people that walked in after me were getting served. I walked out. The service was very poor. How disappointing.
Friendly staff. Sustainable take out packaging. Sushi was above average.
AWFUL experience. The sashimi was packed inside the same bag as the piping hot edamame, opening the steamy wet bag with WARM sashimi was really appalling. The chicken karaage was a tiny portion of greasy mess and the oyako don was extremely disappointing in all manners hardly any flavour, overcooked chicken, overcooked egg and hardly any onions. Not many restaurants offer this on their menu anymore and maybe that s why, it s never satisfactory for something so simple. We also ordered some yakitori with sauce on the side becasue oftentimes restaurants put way too much sauce and also because we ordered for a toddler in mind: not only was the sauce on the chicken skewer but was completely drenched in sauce and many of the parts were burnt to a black crisp!!!!!!!!!! The fact that they didn t even scrape off the burnt areas or remove the completely black charred green onions and still slathered it in a thick layer of sauce and put little garnishes into the box was astonishing. I am truly disappointed in spending my money here despite giving them another chance after a year or more before some things just don t change and now I ll be sure not to make the same mistake again especially when there is quality Japanese right around the corner.
Everything was fine till we paid and we are about leaving, the old lady which is I think she is the owner asked the guy there in very loud voice Allan, did they pay It was weird as all the people heard her and for somehow I felt unconfirtible. I will never go back there and wont advise people to go there.
Lots of selection, Amazing food and they even have tapas! Cute little spot if you are craving some sushi.
Great food and service
Unique sushi
Really good quality sushi but service isnt very good
Decent food/good price. Food can be hit and miss but cant really complain for what you pay for.
Not worth the cost, my wild salmon were half sized portions...
Hidden gem for sure, great prices and good service
My favorite sushi spot. I find their prices are better than local competitors, yet they have similar high quality in their food. Their service is usually faster than other sushi restaurants Ive been to, and Ive found the staff to be very friendly and inviting as well. Interior ambience is also really nice. Its close quarters with several booths and some tables near the middle, all of which are quite private. Even the music they play is great, usually jazz and other oldies which makes perfect dinner music.
During the Pandemic...this little gem of a restaurant managed to safely serve us great quality Sushi. Very personable staff, well done!
The thorns come out of the sashimi.
Great food.
OK. Koirala kkoko
Nigiri was terrible. Paper thin fish on top of a giant blob of rice. Tasteless and unfulfilling. Same with rainbow roll. Paper tis fish on top. I will NEVER go there again. They do not rate anywhere close to a 3, let alone 4+
Fantastic food and service.
Love Top notch!!
Place is slightly rustic, decor is very appealing, and has close-in booths. Service is great, and you will definitely enjoy the food.
good selection bento boxes! Delicious and affordable. Love the staff :)
Sashimi Bento box is really good!
Good consistent sushi.
Really friendly service, amazing food for a great price! Definitely recommend this place, especially for vegan celiacs like me!!!
Great food, great people.
We came from coquitlam and I love sushi so we wanted to try this place.. the food we ordered was ok and the portion was very small too for the price we paid.. wouldn t recommend to anyone!
Weve gotten take out & eaten in and both were good experiences. Staff were friendly and the food was delicious. If you dine in, they also have soju, sake and a selection of wines, including sweet plum, available by the glass or bottle. About 8 small family-size booths and a half dozen tables for up to 4. Separate womens washroom (2 stalls) from Mens & wheelchair accessible. Womens washroom is small enough to wash & dry hands while propping the door open with your foot.
Best Japanese food in Vancouver, you got to go.
Its good
Awesome sushi place
