Rue 909 Sushi — Restaurant in Vancouver

I was hopeful for good food here since there were lots of people and good reviews, but I was disappointed. A tempura udon with California rolls was $20 which is the same price as a sit down restaurant (this spot was self serve). The food took a long time to arrive even though I only got 2 items. California rolls were tiny and didn't taste fresh. Udon was extremely plain, literally tasted like noodles in water. I added soy sauce to it to be able to eat it. Tempura was small and tasted like really old frying oil. I was disappointed that their menu outside listed tempura udon as having 4 pieces, but they changed their menu inside and only gave 3 -- it's quite deceitful. I won't be...

Sucky experience here. Free miso soup and spring rolls were the highlight. Then came the pressure to order - we were promoted THREE times before we'd decided. Tea is served in disposable paper cups that are destined for the landfill, and don't expect attentive refills. Lack of attention to presentation of dishes, greasy tempura, chewy toro and a few slabs of tuna sashimi too big to manage with chopsticks. And the famous spicy sauce! They're famous for this!? Best in the city!? It tastes EXACTLY like the stuff you throw into pho! Lame! Plus our Bill was placed on the table moments after the last dish we ordered was delivered. In short: do not recommend. At least...

I like this place. It's much better than the prepackaged refrigerated sushi at the small food court joints, although it isn't the best sushi I've ever had. But, they have fantastic lunch specials on weekdays and, even when there's a huge line, they're quick and you won't be waiting your entire lunch break for your lunch. As for the atmosphere, it's unique, having to climb down a windy staircase to a small underground eating area, which also makes it not wheelchair accessible. It's also pretty small, so getting seating at the lunch rush can be tricky. Overall, it's clean, tasty and well priced sushi!...
