They Changed There Menu, Same as Yuko Maki!
I went in today for take out and they had a new menu. The thing was they were the exact same as the ones at Yuko Maki right down the road on pemberton, like exactly same menu. They are missing some of the great combs from before and the prices are higher. It is exactly the same as yuko maki now so no point going to it since its harder to park.

Best Cheap Sushi in North Vancouver
Wow this place is great. I had the sushi special deal. It is 18 pieces and a miso for 6.75. They have a choice of about 20 rolls to choose from. When I got the rolls they were great, full sized and tasty, they don't cheap out on the combos like other places to. I also had some bbq eel which was great as well. This place should be charging more, it is way better than most cheap sushi places. Highly recommended

Great value for good sushi
I pretty much echo the review directly below. For lunch for two we had two 5.95 3 roll and miso specials, an order of tuna sashimi, and a pop, for 20.44.

Miso soup was average. Tuna sashimi was a bit too chilled for my liking, but not bad. The sushi I had was excellent. They have a fairly big selection of rolls for the 5.95 deal. I had a california, dynamite, and a tuna tempura roll, which is something I've never seen, and was quite tasty. All the tempura in the rolls was fresh, not the typical stale been prepared long ahead of time you get at budget places. My rolls were quite tasty. My wife ordered some other stuff and she wasn't as impressed with hers, but it was still not bad at all. My 4 for the food may be a bit high given some of the stuff was average, but I really liked my own meal and will give them the benefit of the doubt given the prices.

Service was good for these prices.

So the main thing about this place is the value. They had a bunch of lunch boxes from $6 and up too. This place is similar to other places in the area like yuko maki, but the food quality here is WAY better for what is about the same price. You are getting a pretty darn good lunch for cheaper than your typical mcdonalds combo.

good cheap sushi
Mrs. C and I were driving along Marine Drive when we noticed a new contender in the NV sushi wars. This location was a porn shop for many years, and most recently was home to a Taiwanese-style cafe. So it is fair to say there is a long tradition of serving the various needs of North Shore residents ;)

The restaurant had a few parking stalls out front, but access from the busy roadway can be a challenge. The place was nice and new-looking inside if a bit spartan. It was very clean, including the w/c. We looked at the menu, and it is mostly sushi with some tempura, soba and donburi in the mix. They had an opening special of 10% off all orders.

We settled on a couple of combos with various roll sushi and miso soup, and we supplemented our order with some tuna nigiri and a teriyaki beef roll. Service was excellent, and the sushi was very well prepared. I found the fish to be fresh and there was a high fish/rice ratio. The sushi chef (and all the other staff) is Chinese, if that is important to you. Still it was better sushi than I have had at most 'authentic' Japanese places.

Overall a very good sushi meal and well under 20 dollars. What more could you want?
