Sushi Bistro Anzu

My go to for Japanese dinning inner city NW. This establishment is Japanese owned and operated. Staff are super friendly, fish is fresh and the variety is great for nigiri, sashimi and rolls. Being half Japanese and capable of making my own sushi at home, I find the quality here to be excellent value for spend. This place gets busy so reservations are recommended. My favourites off the menu are the Anzu house special roll, foto maki roll, spicy scallop nigiri, mackerel nigiri and agedashi tofu

Great spot for a quiet dinner. Great food and the service was excellent as well. The spicy tuna was my favourite.

We had a family dinner and tried out a few menu items. From the house salad, beef tettaki, sushi, sashimi, eggplant, ramen, and soba. Overall, it was good. Didn't wait too long for our dishes. We sat in the room to the right and it was a bit chilly. Insulation not the greatest, so bring a hoodie or jacket if you get cold easy. Menu items were simple and selection limited.

Let’s start with the parking. The parking is small, so if they get busy, you’ll have the find street parking. It’s available on the side of the building.
Service was okay. Greeted with big smiles. They were efficient and food was ready shortly after.
They have quite a variety of set lunch/bento box. The portions are pretty big.
Food quality was decent. Nothing was a wow factor except for the tamago side dish.

My husband and I stopped here for a quick bite and were blown away by the quality of sushi! We will absolutely be back. This is now our most favorite sushi place in the city!
Exceptional prices as well!

Overall rating 5/5

Delicious Japan cuisine, highly recommend the chefs specials. I particularly enjoyed the 3 shellfish sashimi set. The ramen broth of the red shrimp set was flavourful and full of umami. Everything we ordered was of exceptional quality and taste. Our server was friendly and welcoming.

Food was good. Fish was fresh. Salad was fresh and miso soup was good. Had the lunch sushi and ramen. Wished the sushi combo had different kind of rolls as there were 12 pieces instead all being California rolls. Ramen was tasty. Although not as spicy as what I had anticipated from their menu description. However, there wasn't any quality check, always had to wave waitress down if need something. Had to ask to refill water 2x. Menu price items online needs to be updated. Overall, they do have a good selection for lunch combos for around 17/person.

Update - went back again. Had the grilled mackerel lunch combo. It was alright. Pro - mackerel was cooked really well. A bit on the salty side but still tasted good. Skin was not crispy though. Tempura was good. Enjoyed that.
Con - Sashimi was really thinly sliced. And waitress had another bowl stacked on my rice when dropping off my food. Ehhhh...
Felt the price was a bit steep for what's on your plate. I would still recommend as the food is good. Minus the hit and misses.
