🍣 Vancouver Must-Eat Japanese Restaurants (Tourist Edition!)
Just flew in from Toronto to this seafood paradise, and as a hardcore sushi lover, I had to hunt down the best spots! While some say Vancouver’s Japanese food is "just okay," these 4 places blew me away—I’d eat here a million times! 1️⃣ Kinyo Sushi 🏆 (Classic Vancouver Gem) 📍 871 Denman St High-rated & reliable—perfect when you can’t decide! Book ahead or face eternal lines. ✅ MUST ORDER: 🥩 Wagyu & Toro Bowl (melts in your mouth) 🍣 Negitoro Sushi (fatty tuna + scallions = perfection) 🍜 Uni Miso Udon (creamy, briny heaven) ❌ Skip: Stone-grilled meat (tiny portions, meh flavor). 2️⃣ Raisu 🌊 (Instagram Famous + Top Service) 📍 2340 W 4th Ave My personal favorite—every visit to Vancouver includes a stop here! ✅ MUST ORDER: 🥂 Uni Shooter (shot glass of ocean bliss) 🍱 Deluxe Seafood Bowl (sashimi party on rice) ❌ Skip: Set meal fish (can be too fishy). 💡 Fun fact: Drinks come with pasta straws, and the bathroom is super female-friendly! 3️⃣ Moltan 💖 (Handsome Staff + Freebies Galore!) 📍 1941 Cornwall Ave The Korean server is too cute—plus they hook you up (free sushi + drinks last time!). ✅ MUST ORDER: 🌿 Seaweed Toro Sushi (unique & fresh) 🍚 O-Toro & Uni Don (luxury in a bowl) ⭐ No bad dishes—everything slaps! 4️⃣ Tozen 🦐 (Uni Dreams & Crispy Shrimp Heads) 📍 967 W Broadway Their signature uni & ikura bowl always sells out (cries), but the sashimi is unreal. ✅ MUST ORDER: 🍣 Tozen Special Sashimi (buttery tri-toro + sweet shrimp) 🍤 Fried Shrimp Heads (crunchy, savory crack) 🍝 Creamy Mushroom Pasta (surprisingly divine) #VancouverEats #SushiLover #BestJapaneseFood #TravelEats
