On our way back from Roseland to Vancouver, we stumbled upon Sushi Ocean Dream in Grand Forks, and it turned out to be an absolute gem! This charming spot exceeded all our expectations, offering fresh, delicious sushi and a welcoming atmosphere that made it the perfect pit stop on our journey.
The menu had a fantastic variety, from classic rolls to more creative options that showcased the chef's talent and passion. Every dish was prepared with precision, and the fish was incredibly fresh – rivaling what you’d find in some of Vancouver’s top sushi spots.
