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.

The food was excellent, especially all of the sushi. Some of the dishes are pricey; however, worth it for the creative and unique offerings. Again, a very solid sushi program, and easily one of the best Japanese sushi on Vancouver's westside.

I travelled for work and don’t have access to fresh seafood easily. The quality was very good particularly the uni. Because of the style of seating it is not conducive for big groups. They do make everything pretty quickly so also not for a leisurely meal. It was perfect for me. Quick dinner, great service and very fresh fish. Cost was what I would expect in that area. I loved it and will come back when I return to Vancouver.
