The sushi was so good, especially for the pricing. Only thing I didn't love was the sunrise roll (?) because i think it had a bit too much mango but everything still slapped hard. would def come back and get other stuff too
Great place for sushi!
My wife and I have visited here three times and enjoyed our meals very much.
My wife loves the mixed veggie rolls and yam tempura roll. She likes the way the yam remains hot and crispy in the roll.
I have tried Grouse Mountain and Maple rolls which kinda looked and taste the same. They were both awesome. The crunchy crumbs sprinkled on top of the rolls complement the softness of the fish and give it a more pleasant bite :)))
I had also tried Kastsu don here but it didn’t live up to my expectations. So I strongly suggest their sushi not Katsu.

I love all the food here! There are many Japanese places in the area but this is my go-to. The seafood is good and high quality. I sometimes go here with my brother and grandmother after school is over. The owner is very very nice and the service is amazing. I also love the decorations on the roof and walls. I would give 10000 stars if I could.
Ordered the Deluxe Tempura, Rock Star Roll, Godzilla Roll, Chopped Scalloped Roll & Beef Yakiudon. The individual prices can be found in Google Maps Menu section. The total price was 69.04 after GST, excluding Tip. The Tempura & Yakiudon was very good. The sushi rolls were good, but on some of the sushi rolls, the rice seemed to break apart easily when picked up with chopsticks. It was plenty of food for 2 people, half of the Yakiudon was doggy bagged. Had Dinner on a Monday evening. The service was quick & friendly. The seating area is small/limited, probably why they had a few take out orders while I was there.
Cute family run restaurant. Don’t know where else you can enjoy amazing sushi and dine with a cat tree.
We ordered the chirashi Don and salmon and tuna Don plus agedaahi tofu. Definitely one of the best chirashi don’s I’ve ever had! Everything was so fresh and the rice was delicious and prices were reasonable. 10/10 highly recommend. We definitely will be back.

Amazing food presentation. The tuna tataki with house made ponzu was solid. I enjoyed eating the bean curd wrapped sushi set - very flavourful. Interesting decor. I like the “cat” tree and No Face from spirited away.
Love this place! It's probably the best sushi spot on burnaby. Large menu with unique flavorful rolls and great varieties of food. Affordable prices!! Cozy atmosphere!! Friendly staff! Food came out at a good pace
Let me start by saying the food here is tasty, it’s decent quality and most of the food is quite delicious. I want to chalk this up as a bad or busy day, but it seems to be a recurring theme based on some other reviews.
Let’s start with some of the positives;
1) food is well made and tasty
2) pricing is decent on most things
3) it’s a great location and can/will get busy
The negatives really stem around one thing, this place isn’t equipped to deal with a full house. When we came to visit, there were two larger parties (us and a table beside us), and a few smaller groups.
We ordered a variety of dishes, see pictures, including sushi and sashimi. Typically you would be given a sauce dish for your soy sauce and wasabi, but not here. The table beside us got sauce dishes for their food though. We asked the waitress for sauce dishes, and she didn’t come back. Asked again, and she pointed to the soy sauce on the table, so made sense, probably miscommunication. This time we asked and we showed her what we meant by showing her that we wanted to dip our sushi or sashimi. She came back with 2 sauce dishes for a table of 8… two! At this point we gave up and used our regular plates, which was covered with our other foods, or dripped the soy sauce directly onto the sushi.
We also ordered sockeye salmon, which they delivered regular, but they were quick to fix that. We ordered salmon pressed sushi, but got tuna instead, I do remember distinctly repeating it was salmon, along with our guests, after she asked to clarify while taking our order. She came back and said she wrote down tuna, so we get tuna.
Overall, I really want to like this place a lot and make it a local sushi spot. I really do want to give this place another chance. I do hope it’s just and off day for them. As I said, the food is good, the pricing is good, but maybe I just need to go for lunch, with a smaller party, or just do take out instead.
