We come here every time we visit Vancouver and get a great meal each time. Sushi rolls are delicious and the desserts are amazing. Service is very warm and friendly as well. It's definitely on the pricier side so it's more of a special occasion restaurant but you get your money's worth

Great food and vibes here. Salmon Oshi is always hit and the Brussel sprouts with beacon was perfection…we even ordered seconds. Only gripe is we came for dine out only to be told that they participate during lunch only. A little odd to us but we were already there and made the best of it.

Well prepared Japanese dishes that are fresh and great tasting. Innovative use of ingredients and well prepared sushi results in a satisfying meal.

The food was good but I feel like the price does not justify it. $12 for 4 pieces of sushi is steep. The ebi oshi was good but it was mostly mayo. Our favourites were: champagne roll, ebi fritter, and sable fish. Would not recommend the eggplant nigiri, just got it because we were curious. The chutoro and scallop nigiri were also meh.

Service was not great. No one was rude but everyone felt disingenuous, especially our server. He did his role, but with [what I perceived as] disdain. It made me uncomfortable and put a huge damper on the night; I dreaded every interaction with him. Everyone has their days but this is not acceptable at a restaurant of this price point/calibre.

It’s been years since I’ve been here and coming back reminds me of why I haven’t been back. Nothing is amazing and the service doesn’t help.

The high quality and freshness of ingredients at this restaurant are obvious from the first to last bite. Amazing food!!!

The service is formal yet friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and helpful.

We went for an early dinner so the restaurant wasn't packed and we appreciated that. Definitely going back!!! 😋

We arrived shortly before the kitchen was closing. Although a bit rushed to order, the food and service were wonderful. I had the tuna tartar, two half rolls, and the sable fish (omg good). The fish was so tender and flavorful - it melted in my mouth. My husband shared the tuna and had tenderloin as well. He LOVED it. High recommendation.

Superlative food experience, perfect friendly service, and positive atmosphere. The wagyu-truffle was *outrageously* delicious. It normally comes as 3 pc's, but they increased it to 4 so our party could each have a bite. Every roll was delicious, the unique press-and-flame style they are known for enhanced the already flawless quality. Dessert was a standout out too, we couldn't get enough! And if you need a delicious libation, you can't go wrong with their specialty unfiltered sake. Truly a wonderful culinary and social experience to share with friends, every aspect was phenomenal.
