I went for my boyfriend’s birthday! We went there at 2:30 reservations so even though it was weekend it was half empty which was very nice for us! I hate tight sitting area but here so much space between tables I loved that! Feel pretty private. Food was pretty good it wasn’t outstanding taste but I think it’s worth for the price. We ordered “champagne roll” and “Minami zen” which is a bento box with few dishes, portion was ok but we were full after the meal. Since we tried little dishes from this set we will visit again with main entry! Also Nigiri sushi was great quality.

This restaurant was recommended by a lot of people in Vancouver. The food was excellent, our server. Charlotte was extraordinary. The manager was very attentive and came to our table to make sure food. Allergies would not be an issue, and we really appreciate it that gesture. Yeah The only issue we had was with the hostess, who was not really friendly. That alone could’ve been a bad experience for us, but the rest of the staff made it so we forgot our encounter with her. Overall, (without the hostess interaction) our experience was great.
