Re: Good Japanese Restaurants
BEST PLACEs TO EAT SUSHI BY FAR:
1) Sushi king - Granville st @ 67th ave.
Excellent service, jumbo size sushi/sashimi, extremely fresh. Family own business and really friendly. It's like Samurai on Cambie but better and tastier by 10 folds. and very cheap prices too.
must have:
- spicy tofu (crispy outside but soft inside with very good spicy sauce on the side)
- appetizer sashimi (tuna and salmon) - largest in town!
- appetizer tempura - for the price of 4.95 you get 4 prawns and 2 yam! extremely good sauce home made!
- spicy salmon hand cone/roll - oozing with salmon goodness
2) Sushi Cafe - Downtown on Seymour st @ Georgia
Authentic japanese owners and sushi makers. TONS of combo and bento boxes to choose from. definitely good for office workers, although pre-ordering by phone is a good idea since they get very busy. Not HUGE rolls but VERY VERY FRESH and tasty. Service is excellent and very accomodating (ie.. had cali roll on their daily special combo, and i hate cali roll and asked if they can change it to something else, and they didn't even hesitate. only pay the difference of prices). Just thinking of this place makes me want to go back
Must haves:
- beef/chicken teriyaki - best in town! freshly prepared, not yucky old beef
- spicy tuna roll - they add crunchy batter in it to give it extra texture.
