Andrew Sheppard: Shrimp tempura
Amy Graff: From beef hot pot to pressed sushi and unique tempura veg (try the cauliflower!), this lil' ikazaya does it right. Modern, rad service that bends backwards to accommodate dietary needs, cheap saké.
Jessica Chau: Best Japanese lunch in Vancouver. Try the Deluxe set, Tonkatsu set, or Kakuni Bowl. Unforgettable.

Caeli W: All the favourites I love from the Eatery, and new iterations of prior (yummy) innovations. The chicken tempura donburi is the best!
Herman Thind: Had the Volcano tonight - awesome! Usually go with the Found Nemo. Plain Yam Tempura rolls are great too - done really well for such a basic roll. Very creative on their other rolls.
nneale: So many great funky rolls, too many to list, but here's a few: Electric Banana, Captain Crunch, Spice Girl...also try the flamed salmon belly nigiri and grab a lychee mojito!

viki t.: The fusion rolls with crunchy tempura bits are the best!
Michael Haaf: The Yam and Cheese roll is my favourite roll in Vancouver. It has everything - yam, Cheese... Also avocado, veggies, and black rice. It's wonderful.
Mary L: All sushi is made with black rice. The chirashi bowl is an especially good deal at around $10 and comes with miso soup. They also have a selection of books on trains to read before your meal arrives!

Alex Bowman: Good sushi with a unique flavor from brown rice and whole wheat tempura. Highly recommended.
are you with me: This is probably my favourite sushi joint in all of Vancouver; as a vegan, there are plenty of options, they exclusively roll with brown rice, and everything is organic!
Celeste Thayer: Definitely try the fresh crab California roll and the Grenville Island sake!

Radar DDB: Need we even say it? Our pick - the fish and chips hand rolls (tempura cod, Japanese tartare sauce).
hadola: King crab tempura is new to the menu and very good. If you like cheese, order the burrata - it is AMAZING! The crab cakes are also fantastic. Uodated drink menu too.
Chloe Hoppie: Fresh West Coast cuisine with Japanese-inspired fusion, stunningly decorated, exceptional service, Coast is one of the trendiest places you want to be seen in Vancouver.

Jack C: The prawn tempura tacos are a MUST (tacos camarón)
Angel Clemente: Get the taco combo with 2 carnitas and 2 al pastor. Get a papa/chorizo quesadilla and/or sope. Their mojitos are also excellent. End with a tres leches cake. Delicioso!
Eater: In a swirling sea of hipster taco joints the Mexican is a reliable, affordable and downright delicious choice. Worth a visit for the chicharrón de queso alone. [Eater 38 Member]

Chefs Feed: Rob Feenie, chef of Cactus Club Cafe, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Assorted tempura. Read more.
Maca Waca: Great scallop roll. Favourite roll: Double Tuna Roll (without tempura or ponzu - although I'm sure it's great with those as well) . Great service, thoughtful of special food requirements.
Miriam Shanahan: Easily the best sushi in kitsilano, if not, Vancouver. The spicy tuna appy and Chef's roll are ultimate faves. Get a side of spicy sauce as well - it's homemade and sans mayo, it won't disappoint!
