Lobster 🦞 roll. Miso Soup 🍲 Tobiko Nigiri 🍣 Yummy!!! I think last order is 9pm But they close at 930pm. Better go in early cause they want to close you know?! 🤗 I keep going back here I don't know if its the yummy food or gorgeous Japanese Waitresses! 🤭🤭🤭
Super delicious food 🤩 You should try Ambleside role on your next visit!
Nice location with good atmosphere Sushi was good, in good portionsand reasonable price Service was just okay
When we're on the North Shore and have a craving for high quality Japanese eats, the first place we usually turn to is Bene Sushi. Featured here: Red Tuna & Avocado Salad Seafood Yakisoba Popeye Roll Avocado Roll The ingredients here are always very fresh and top notch. The Popeye Roll is a Vegetarian roll and this was our first time trying it. I loved this roll and would happily eat it again! The Inari in this roll gave it a subtle sweetness without being excessively sweet. One of the most delightful Vegetarian sushi rolls I've ever had! Bene Sushi never ceases to impress me with their Avocado Roll. It's one of the simplest rolls you could order from a Japanese restaurant, but they do it sooo well at this restaurant. The avocado is always a lovely green colour, without a hint of brown in it. Plus the roll is always packed with huge chunks of the avocado and not too much rice surrounding the avocado. Psst...not featured here, but we tried the Unagi Flame Roll on a previous visit and it was spectacular! I do recommend giving it a try! Service: Good Parking: Free covered parking at the back of the restaurant Location: 1574 Marine Dr., West Vancouver, BC
The menu boasted an impressive variety of sushi rolls, sashimi, and nigiri options. Each dish was beautifully presented, showcasing the chef’s attention to detail. The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every bite, and the flavors danced on my palate. The combination of textures, from the buttery smoothness of the sashimi to the satisfying crunch of tempura, was a true testament to the artistry of sushi-making. The service was impeccable, with the staff being knowledgeable about the menu and offering helpful suggestions.
I’ve been coming here for years, and I always enjoy my time here. The ambience is always nice, and the food is served pretty quickly. Good quantity and quality for the price. Once, they got my entire order wrong despite repeating it countless times lol but it’s whatever.
If you really want to try this place....go and dine in....maybe then they'll practice some standard in serving you and their presentation. So, regretfully we decided to pick up some Sushi on our way to a potluck dinner party. I ordered the Deluxe Sashimi Platter and the Dynamite Sushi Combo over the phone, and they made sure to let me know that they would be charging me extra for extra ginger on an order that was already overpriced and under-delivered. Ok...here's the deal: In any part of the world where living beings have two ears, one mouth, two eyeballs, five fingers, walk upright and tend not eat their first born if it's a cold winter....tend to think of a party platter as....well....a platter for a party...you with me so far?....ok. Well, it was to my surprise that this party platter that we ordered was so tastefully put together in a styrofoam box....YES....Styrofoam. I was relieved that I picked something from the "Chef's choice" section...I mean if it had been let's say from the "Janitor's section"....I probably would've been handed each sashimi in the palm of my hand....(no offence to janitors....they make the world a much cleaner place!). So yeah.....the octopus in the sushi combo was very chewy and the Dynamite roll....I've had better Dynamite Rolls at airport lunch counters..... Don't ask me what I was doing at the lunch counter at the airport. The whole experience at this place was just so underwhelming, blahhh and simply a massive.....Really?!
We got a table pretty quickly over the phone. Got there and the table was ready and our server was super friendly and pleasant. The appetizers and food came quickly and in the right order. The food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable! We also got a free appetizer (that we had ordered) on the house because we order over a certain value! Overall great experience, highly recommended and definitely coming back when I'm in West Van.
Great place with exceptional kind service. For our family it s one of the best sushi restaurants in the area.
Bad quality sushi and old ingredient. They prepare the foods days before and warm it up and feed it to you
My first time and last time. The food(sushi) quality was very poor Presentation poor Wont go back at all Only you know it when you are used to eat good quality food
I ordered a takeout from this restaurant, which included a sashimi dish with seven pieces. When I got home and opened the box, there were only six pieces. I called the restaurant, but the staff and chef refused to admit the mistake. I suggested checking the surveillance footage, and only then did they admit it. They arrogantly said they would give me an extra piece next time I visit. It was a very unpleasant dining experience. The service quality of the staff is terrible.
Taste of the food was very poor. Sunomono and agedashi tofu was particularly awful. They just overload a bunch of frozen tiny shrimp to the sunomono. Tofu was served and fried hilariously bad. They were cut into long blocks of all different sizes. None of the tofu was cut evenly or in a straight lines it was very funny to everyone at the table hahah.. Not the best sushi restaurant to go to in town. I have a feeling ownership changed because the food taste and presentation was simply not good.. won t be returning
This place deserves more stars for sure!!!! Excellent service, beautiful decorations, very clean and private space Food was amazing!!! Gyoza - die for it! Very tasty!!! Sushi - delicious , lots of options. Yakisoba - it s not greasy! Huge portion, delicious. Loaded with veggie and meat. Veggie Yaki - I m impressed!!! Full load of various veggie (not just carrot and onion), not greasy like other places. They handled the perfect veggie I ve ever had!!! Perfect temperature control. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this place. Definitely coming back! Vegetarian options: I m impressed!!! Delicious options handled with mastery!
Affordable,great portion for the price.
Ordered take out, its always great.
Been going to Bene Susi for several years, and the food and service is excellent. I highly recommend Bene Susi.
Incredible bento box, great value lunch specials!! Will certainly be back!
Food and services are amazing,
Great food! Very friendly service and atmosphere!
Great food. Great combos.
Last week I went here to eat good food! So I don t what to eat . So there was a guy who helped me and recommended me what to do order and it was great, what a nice and handsome guy ,
Very friendly staff
For a restaurant that was at least 50% empty we should not have to wait 45 minutes for udon. It came so late after other dishes that we actually cancelled the order as they finally served it. Setvi
Bene Sushi has a very nice dining area inside, I picked up take out but I m looking forward to dining in next time. The chicken teriyaki roll is really good and I love their spicy mayo. Prices are a bit higher than average but the food is great.
Aleays very good.
literally just RAN from there. me and my mom just sat down and I noticed a scuffle.on the floor out of the corner of my eye. MOUSE! Me and my mom had a closer look... MICE!! TINY LITTLE FURRY THINGS WITH TAILS running all over the floor!! in the front! where we were sitting!!!! UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!
4 year s ago I posted a photo of Bene that I took on my way of walking, which has reached more than 3 millions views so far. After so long I finally got a chance to have a lunch with my family here in this Family day! It s indeed one of the best Japanese restaurants in Vancouver area.
Great sushi. Nice ambiance.
Really enjoyed supper here tonight. Every single bite. Food
Very good food and service
I ate here in the past, and once considered it a nice place, but my experience today proved to be very disappointing. The sashimi still had fish bones, and didnt taste fresh. In addition, the crab in the Korean chirashi bowl was imitation crab. To make things worse than they already were, our waitress completely forgot that we asked for a glass of water, and also forgot about the gochujang that was not included with the Korean chirashi bowl. I hope this place changes for the better.
Exactly 3 stars
Fresh Fish
Best sushi on the North Shore! Always super fresh. The specialty rolls are creative, visually appealing, and most importantly contain great flavours.
Ordered takeout. The food looked and tasted great! Ordered the Roll Special tray: was not disappointed.
Very tasty dishes with lots of variety. The Salmon and Tuna were fresh. We received good and fast service
The tempura us must try! It was great! The crust is crispy and thin. The udon and sushi is good.
The food is awesome. The staffs are so friendly
Love this place. The staff are so nice. Love the aesthetic. Good portion sizes. You gotta try the creamy prawns - they are to die for.
Staff are very rude. They usually charge extra dollars for every single items you order. Jz( server) has strong negative attitude with customers and asked for paying more tips on my face. The owner needs to pay attention more for training her servers.
Nice and well designed restaurants. Food quality was good too. Last time we had much better experience and more friendly environment. Because of that experience we decided to go another time too.
Extremely disappointed!!!! I used to love the sushi here, yesterday there was a big hair in my food, showed my server, she apologized and took it back! I still had food left but obviously I lost my appetite! They still charged me and gave me $3 off only, supervisor came over and pretended as if its a not a big deal! I didnt refuse to pay or anything , but if this issue was anywhere else they would have taken the entire thing off my bill! Its not about the money but accountability of a place that I used to like and now I wont go anymore because of this experience! Not only I didnt enjoy my food but also paid (only $3) discount because manager claimed it was a set menu and couldnt change it!!! For a sushi place in West Vancouver, this is just low!!!
This was absolutely delicious. It s the assorted Aburi special. Highly recommended. Wow.
Food was ok but the service was bad For 5 people s serve ing food for each person is 10 minutes apart. they can t service food for everybody at the same time
The default way to order online is via door dash and it is not clear , my low income senior mother ordered for pick up and when I picked it up I found out it cost more because it went through door dash. So she paid more for no reason. Fix this please , we won t order from here again until this is fixed.
The sushi is okay here. The special rolls are definitely tasty but very expensive.
Such a nice sushi place in West Van I ever tried!! Highly recommend here to try. All staff are nice and serving professionally in manner. I will definitely visit again
This used to be my favourite Sushi place, not just in west Vancouver, but in BC I have been away for a while and was excited for my take out dinner It was awful. Agadashi Tofu was rubbery. Despite waiting for 15 min, the mixed tempura was cold and mushy and consisted of four limp prawns and 4 soggy pieces of sweet potato The rainbow roll had more mayo than crab and was TOTALLY flavourless. Majority of the meal went into the bin
they gave our orders separately, about 10 minutes apart, took a while for the food when it wasn t even that busy, but they had nice service
Good selection of food. We had a good time but the servers were very slow
Great Sushi and Sashimi. The chicken karage (fried chicken nuggets) needs more seasoning/flavor, but Sushi and Sashimi are definitely top notch.
I love this place Ive been coming here for years and the sushi is always fresh and reasonable prices. My personal favourites are the Bene Roll and the Ambleside Roll. Sometimes there is a really long wait for take out but in-restaurant service is always reliable. Will keep coming back.
Best Sushi on the Northshore Kid-friendliness: Working staff very welcoming and polite,great service and smiles!! Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance is a ramp towards dining area
Horrible restaurant! I used to go to Bene everyday until a few days ago when I went there, there were rats on the floor!!!! I told the server and they just laughed. Never going back
Best bang for your buck sushi on the north shore. Especially lunch combos.
They were rude. Wouldnt allow us to put two tables together for a large party of people. Denied us seating in a large booth because those seats arent being used today. Then they attempted to seat other people right next to us at the table we needed for the rest of our party! We walked out without dining there at that point.
Always great and consistent. Prices reasonable and service is fast. Many good times and celebrations at Bene.
Good sushi but to much rice
The pricing seems a bit high for the level of service and food quality they offer.
Reasonable pricing and great food quality!
Great sashimi
Excellent service, Good food at decent prices. Lovely atmosphere.
Full of flies . So gross staff very rude go to north van for better options
Pretty good sushi place in west van I never knew about a huge menu with great selection of different dishes to choose from. Awesome service and good drinks!
Alway a great meal and superior service. The flaming dishes are amazing.
Very good sushi fair prices
Fantastic place. Discovered by mistake. Great price for the lunch box. Food was excellent
travelling back from other provinces and don t have BC services card and thus vaccination QR code. They insist that they want the QR code despite the fact that I showed the vaccination proof.
Delicious food and mostly large portions, prices are pretty high and some of the items are delivery only which is unfortunate
Great food and team!
Consistently good sushi with a large menu of unique rolls. Best on the north shore.
The staff were kind, and it was the best sushi I had in Vancouver!
Sat down and order a Katsu Donburi and a Sushi and Sashimi Combo. The Katsu Don arrived very quickly. It tasted like all the components had been sitting for some time and the cutlet itself tasted like it was prepared in advance and then dunked in the deep fryer for a few minutes upon ordering. I ate slowly as I was hungry and expected my partners food to arrive at any moment but it took another 30+ minutes for it to arrive and we just sat there with me having finished my meal. The sashimi and sushi combo was fine. It tasted fresh but was a little bland. Overall nothing worth coming back for and I definitely wont be. I brought my concerns up to the server as no manager was present. I suspect thats related to our poor experience. If you want your server to manage your restaurant, promote them. Otherwise thats not their job.
Careless staff, awful experience. Won t come back
Really love that they have black rice option for their sushi dishes. I would say cleanliness is the only con of the restaurant. I recommend Bene sushi to all North Shore friends and family.
Absolutely the best sushi place Ive been ever.
Excellent food. We order at least twice a week
Very basic not to impressed forsure and definitely overpriced. Only couple things in menu that are ok but many times i got dishes that definitely werent worth. Wont go back will definitely try other places down the street.
Absolutely worst services. Same rude server (younger girl) last two times.. we asked her politely to bring a bigger ball... she rolled her eyes and slammed it on the table. she needs a lesson in manners and customer services. go find another job if can not be pleasant at your job. Not going there again.
Great food and service .
Small portions and expensive, at least for the sushi dish. Place wasnt that busy but service was slow. Server brought the wrong order, so had to wait even longer.
zach
My favorite combo!!! Thank you!
Lunch special is really nice and cheap and Id totally recommend it. However the freshness of the fish is umm.. Other than that, Bene sushi is tasty and affordable!
Real taste of sushi You can ever have
Kind staffs ans delicious foods under approproate price.
Great Sushi and Sashimi!
Excellent quality.
Good deep fried sushi
Ive been here many times, and everything is of average quality. The portions are also very large and can be very filling! The price we ate like this without service charge was 60 Canadian dollars.
exellent presentation! uncomplicated menu with several unique options. great location for sushi cravings after spending time at ambleside.
Food was really good. Highly recommended!!!
Dynamite roll was so overcooked it wasnt edible - shrimp had shrunk up like a shriveled worm, and had the texture of hard rubber. No idea how it was served like that but when it was pointed out told that its too bad i didnt enjoy it haha. This place has gone downhill recently.
Fresh twist to sushi, you can tell this has been freshly made and decadent flavors
Good food and good service
Very good
Bene roll
The deep fried California and spicy tuna rolls were delicious. Just enough of a crunch but not too much batter. We ordered takeout and picnic at John Lawson park which is 3 min walk away. Recommended!
Cant wait to be back to enjoy their sushi. Great place to order out and drive to a nearest view point to catch a sunset.
My Ambleside roll was very good My friend had teriyaki chicken and said she had had better. The service was pleasant and attentive. Food
Absolute favourite, 10/10 every time! Highly recommend!
Quick snack after school with the kid. Good service and food.
It has delicious sushi and a good environment
Very tasty!
There is almost always something missing from ur order which is annoying & u have to check ur order one by one in order not to get frustrated!
Excellent value and food
Best Rolls in West Van.
Great selection and fresh ingredients, wonderful service and quick serving. Prices are slightly higher than the traditional Japanese restaurants around.
Healthy and tasty foods and kind staffs! Worthy to visit.
very good
Awesome. Crisp tempura and wonderful presentation.
orders for pickup are delayed and restaurant staff also don t respond to the couriers The worst experience at the restaurant
We were there on June 6, 2021. The food was really good, but unfortunately, we were served with very rude and disrespectful waitresses. With their attitude, our night turned out to be a nightmare.
Typical Korean Sushi restaurant. Sushi is good but the chicken Karaage is worlds chewiest thing I put in my mouth. Maybe Hubba Bubba should take their recipe.
Nice looking restaurant, but even the simplest sushi rolls didn t taste good. We ordered spicy seafood salad, and everything tasted off. We asked for sauces twice and the waiter didn t bring it for us till the end. Don t know why the place has such high reviews.
It was a reallllly bad Sushi.. so regret it going there
Great fresh sushi, cant go wrong at Bene
Good food but horrible wait time if you order for pick up. Cant trust their estimates
Great food, nice interior. Doesnt have that operating room style decor some sushi places have.
The first place that I tried Sushi, and Im so happy! The perfect experience.
Very delicious Sushi..full course B. Kindly very good serving. Good rate price Good place.
Ordered , tofu , bene sushi roll and spicy salmon sashimi (my favorit) and 2 other rolls...
Great place to have fresh and tasty sushi. That was one of the best sushies I have ever had. Also, the staff were nice and prepared orders very fast while the restaurant was really busy.
Take out took longer than initially promised (hence four stars). But, the food was a pleasant surprise! Very fresh, well made rolls, great taste. We especially like the roll made of tiger prawn and purple rice (!?). Pieces were inter-layered with thinly sliced sweet Apple and cucumber. Very unusual but tasty combo. Definitely coming back.
Just saw a Proof of Vaccination required sign in the window. Its sad to see that this medical segregation has arrived in West Van. I will not be frequenting Bene ever again.
Excellent
Great atmosphere, excellent food.
used to always go to this restaurant and it was good. Now the food leaves much to be desired :( The fish is not fresh, I didn t even bother to feed the children. The waiter refused to replace the dish that was obviously spoiled and smelled strange. Decided not to go there anymore. There are many good restaurants nearby with more interesting menus! Good luck!
love the sushi roll
Food was average at best. Like a cheap downtown lunch place but without the cheap price. Staff was friendly but that s not enough.
It is great food and celebrate valentines day!!!
Best sushi place and good prices too!
Delicous fusion type of Sushi. Its Americanized Sushi with a Korean twist on it. All staff and servers as far as I can tell are Korean. Prices are a little expensive though.
a little bit pricy , taste is ok .
Good place to eat
Great food and amazing hospitality.
Quite overpriced and just not that good. Nothing tastes very fresh. Many people complain about how expensive it is for average sushi. Unfortunately it s one of the only sushi places left in west van.
Their food is so good and if you get sushi ask for black rice it s so visually stunning and it satisfies me to maximum extent!
Relatively good service, and quick orders, food is pretty generic and can be a little over priced but still good.
I can understand they want us to use hand sanitizer, but when a server appeared with a temperature gun controller, we said No! Absolutely Not! And we had 3 toddlers with us. Not going to subject to that Or the contact tracing. Went to a delightful Lao Cai Chinese restaurant that gave us wonderful food and great honourable service.
The best high end sushi place in West van. Absolutely fantastic udon, ask for spicy broth!
Great sushi place. Its clean and food quality is great.
Great food and so friendly and great employees , safe to be there during covid time
It was delicious
Very tasty sushi, great service, nice atmosphere
Lovely modern ambiance, great service, excellent quality. The complimentary edamame with a drink is a nice touch. One of my top two favorite Sushi restaurants in the lower mainland.
