Village Sushi Bar — Restaurant in Richmond

Sweet small little restaurant run by a duo. One chef in the back, one lady taking orders and I think also doing the cooked food. The raw fish here is excellent, I’d recommend ordering that over cooked rolls. Tried the negitoro roll , chopped scallop roll, dynamite roll, saba nigiri, and toro nigiri. The tempura in the dynamite roll tasted a little bit like stale oil, it was my least favourite and I wouldn’t recommend it. No complaints about the negitoro or chopped scallop, both were great and the negitoro actually used toro. Many restaurants just use normal tuna.

The toro in the nigiri was nice and fatty, I was able to glide my chopstick over it and a nice sheen was on the chopstick. The shimesaba was excellent though, nice soft and fatty texture. Flavour was great too. really nicely cured.

It’s a tiny restaurant though — inside is one single seater table, one two seater, one four seater and four seats at the counter. Outside are two tables that seat two each. You may have to wait around during peak times, especially considering the small size of the restaurant and how it’s run by a duo. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this place for larger groups, at least not...

This Japanese restaurant is always the best in Richmond! No kidding here! It beats all other Japanese restaurants in the city. It is just far away from anywhere. I was happened in the neighbourhood doing stuff, so my boyfriend and I dropped by and had lunch here.

Man! Their sashimi was fresh. Sushi had the right amount of rice. Ramen tasted about right. Customer service was excellent. I really had no complaints about anything about this Japanese restaurant. If you happen to be in this neighbourhood or Steveston in Richmond, you need to drop by this restaurant and try their Japanese food.

There is always take out and customers dining in. The restaurant is always busy. I came here in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Their quality always remains well. I wish other Japanese restaurants in Great Vancouver would be like...

Been for a couple of lunches at Village Sushi Bar. It's run by a Japanese couple. Friendly service and their tea is excellent.

Shimesaba sashimi ($12.50 for 5) - our favourite thing here. Saba’s always fresh. Salmon sashimi ($12.50 for 5) - wild salmon had a good texture. Negitoro roll ($4.75) - favourite of the rolls. Umekyu roll ($4.00) - ume paste was okay. Inari ($2.00), tamago ($2.00), hotate ($3.75) and toro ($4.00) nigiri - excellent, fresh. Chopped scallop roll ($5.50) - one of the better quality chopped scallop rolls. Deluxe futomaki ($8.25) - liked the shiitake mushroom and BBQ eel.

Unassuming, hole in the wall...
