✨ Vancouver | Another Omakase Under $100 Per Person!

I literally started reserving three months in advance—because good luck getting a spot otherwise! 🫠 (You have to call and leave a message… like, seriously? 😑) But finally, I got to try this hidden Omakase gem in Surrey, and the price? A heartwarming $88 per person! 🫰🏻 Turns out, it’s a husband-and-wife-run Japanese spot (no wonder it’s so hard to book—they start exactly on time). Now, let’s break down what you get for $88: ✔️ 9 pieces of nigiri 🍣 ✔️ Chawanmushi (savory egg custard) ✔️ Monkfish liver ✔️ Tempura ✔️ Clam miso soup ✔️ Dessert ✔️ Plus a grilled fish course 🍣 The Nigiri Lineup This time, I got Bluefin tuna, O-toro, sea bream, uni (sea urchin), eel, bonito, and more. Since it’s omakase, the chef curates the menu based on seasonal ingredients—so it’s always a delicious surprise! 🎁 The uni came two ways: 1️⃣ Torched over sweet shrimp (first time trying this combo—so good!) 2️⃣ Classic raw version The O-toro was also torched (unexpected, since most places serve it raw). Personally, I prefer it fresh, but it was still 🔥. 🍱 The Small Plates 1️⃣ Chawanmushi – Loaded with fish and scallop (no skimping here!) 2️⃣ Sweet shrimp + monkfish liver – Absolute perfection 🤤 3️⃣ Grilled Black Cod – OMG, melt-in-your-mouth delicious! 4️⃣ Tempura – Not your average fried veggies. The mushrooms were stuffed with crab meat—next-level satisfying! 🍶 Sake Pairing Went with a medium-dry sake—and their prices are surprisingly reasonable for omakase! Final Verdict? Aside from being hard to book and a bit far (it’s in Surrey, after all), no complaints! For $88 omakase, you really can’t be picky. Pro tip: ARRIVE ON TIME. They start serving the moment your reservation slot hits—no waiting around! 🫰🏻 📍 Yugafu Japanese Bistro 👉 18818 68 Ave, Surrey 💰 Price: ~$100/person (including sake) #VancouverEats #Omakase #VancouverLife #FoodieVan #VancouverFood #EatLocal #GlobalFoodies #JapaneseCuisine #CanadaEats #SushiLovers
