Sushi Today — Restaurant in Vancouver

I'm still in search of my go-to sushi downtown. This one has not made the cut.

It's convenient that you can order online, especially during the lunch rush. Their online system is well laid out with pictures and descriptions of each menu item, which I really appreciate. I ordered the real crab California roll, a dynamite roll and some pork gyoza, all for about $15.

The gyoza was OK. A bit soggy, but I attribute that to the condensation from the takeout container.

The California roll barely had any crab in it and was stuffed more with vegetation. The dynamite roll shrimp tempura was good, but there were big leafs of lettuce in it which I found a little odd. My biggest complaint with the sushi was that I couldn't chew through the seaweed - it was that tough. And I don't much enjoy having sushi dangling from my mouth as I try and saw through it...

Very happy that I stopped in here as there was a sushi restaurant literally next door that was rammed packed. This location had only one person upon my arrival.

My initial thought was, this must be the dive out of the two yet I was craving sushi and didn't want to wait or deal with crowds so I took a chance.

I ordered chicken rolls, California rolls and cucumber & avocado rolls. My first thought was that they looked small compared to other sushi restaurants I've been to. True story, yet they were all very fresh & tasty and the seaweed was amazing. They claim it is organic and the taste was noticeably nicer. On top of that, the ginger was great too.

Typically, I don't finish all the ginger from sushi restaurants if I touch them at all; here I ate it all.

So while the rolls might have been smaller, they were great and totally left me...

After hearing about this place, I’ve wanted to visit, and I finally had the chance to do so. The owner and staff greeted me warmly, which made me feel comfortable.

The Miso Soup wasn’t too salty, which I liked, and the dressing on the fried chicken and vegetables complemented the dish really well, making it delicious.

The Salmon Aburi melted in my mouth as soon as I took a bite. It was so tender and flavorful.

Next time, I’d like to try the CUPBOP.

A note: The sign is small, so you might miss it if you’re not paying attention. It’s a good idea to keep your eyes open and look carefully when...
