- Sotheby's International Realty CanadaJanuary 14, 2012If you're in the mood for Ishi-Yaki (hot stone cooking right at the table), but not in the mood for meat, try the Kinoko Meshi. Hot stone bowl rice, mixed mushrooms, and iwanori, mixed tableside.Upvote1Downvote
SherryAugust 17, 2014Their happy hour is pretty good! Their host and servers are awesome. Servers can be catty in Yaletown but the girls here are awesome! Forget about the Flying Pig across the street!UpvoteDownvote
Jumbo Seared Scallops (market price daily) with a to-die-for mushroom & balsamic reduction sauce...... MUST TRY!!UpvoteDownvote
Try the Hello Kitty Cocktail as well as the Pineapple martini. For food, Chicken Karaage, Negitoro and Ishiyaki stone bowlUpvoteDownvote
- Rent it Furnished RealtyAugust 4, 2011For dinner, make sure to try the mushroom stone bowl (kinoko meshi). Also, if available, the matcha brulee daily special is excellent!Upvote1Downvote

William JohnsonMarch 22, 2016Great food. Weird vibe: rap music and sports on the TVs...UpvoteDownvote
Matthew FreemanJune 19, 2012If you're here alone, ask for the tasting menu- 3 items for $12. It's like tapas for 1.UpvoteDownvote
Tiffany CheungApril 21, 2014Wasn't happy they didn't tell us the 1/2 off hapas didnt include all the hapas so tht kinda ruined the experience but food was great esp gindara, ebi mayo, aburi saba! Tuna carpaccio tasted weird thoUpvoteDownvote
This place is amazing. Great staff, great food and fun atmosphere.Upvote2Downvote
Leslie dFebruary 7, 2014Most of the food we ordered was really great (we got about 10 different dishes in total and just shared everything). DO NOT ORDER THE GYOZA! It's not even a dumpling and just really bad.UpvoteDownvote- Metro NewsAugust 19, 2010Try the deconstructed negitoro tuna-and-rice bowl — the perfect cool lunch to beat the midday heat.

Betty LiAugust 23, 2013Go to the Robson one. Even at Happy Hour prices, it is not worth it.UpvoteDownvote
Tiffany DangMay 11, 2012Terrible advertising, sign on the door says "happy hour half price tapas" turns out its at their Coal Harbour location, which is no where near. Very misleading. Portions are very small.UpvoteDownvote
Michiel GedoptOctober 7, 2012Do yourself a favor: skip this hapa and try one of the other ones. Sushi here had a weird taste. Not recommended.UpvoteDownvote
