Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Surrey

"Tojo's has been around for over 30 years and can't be looked over when listing the best sushi spots in the city. This institution is definitely on the pricier side but it's a must-try for any and all sushi lovers. Their Seasonal Omakase is always a good choice as it's, well, seasonal and the freshest."

"If you want to treat yourself to a nice meal, the omakase menu at Tojo’s is hard to beat. It is one of Vancouver’s oldest sushi restaurants and has aged well. Elegant yet friendly, this is a great spot to celebrate a special occasion."

"Hidekazu Tojo is a sushi-making legend in Vancouver, with thousands of special preparations stored in his creative mind. In this bright modern...Read More"

"The speciality at Yaletown’s Minami is aburi oshi sushi—lightly pressed and flame-torched rectangles of saucy, mouth-melting sushi bliss. Rolls here are delicious, but nothing compares to the buttery bite of the salmon oshi sushi (easily reason enough to visit) and the lime-spiked bite of the ebi oshi. The atmosphere, in keeping with the neighbourhood’s yuppie-ish character, is slickly refined and “big date” appropriate, though you may easily pop in for a casual lunch."

"Located in the heart of Yaletown, this Vancouver sushi restaurant focuses on delicious and sustainable Japanese seafood dishes with a stylish display. Minami is also known for their melt in your mouth Aburi sushi, specifically their appetizers. The quality is high end and the staff is very knowledgable."

"Introducing Aburi To-Go, our newest takeaway menu concept available exclusively at Miku and Minami on UberEats. Available 12PM – 8:30PM, Monday to Saturday. Aburi To-Go is also available"

"We just ordered takeaway from Sansho for the first time tonight and we will absolutely be ordering again. It is super reasonably priced for what we believe to..."

"Kingsway's Sushi by Yuji is a small space so get here early to get a seat and be sure to order the Japanese gunkan style sushi (topped with fish roe), chopped scallop rolls and the delicate quails egg dishes. Affordable and generous in portion size (think thick-cut hamachi sashimi), this hole-in-the-wall joint is an East Vancouver gem. Price: Budget-friendly/mid-range"

"|| SUSHI BY YUJI 🍣 Tobiuo, also known as “Flying Fish” got its name from its ability to glide in the air for over a thousand feet when it swims 🐟 — Have you ever had flying fish before?. — 📸: Tobiuo Nigiri #️⃣#EastVanEats ✘ #BlackholetummyAdventures 🍴Food Stop from Foodventure w/ @yehitsfoodtime @kwokeemonster @eyuen88 @pigoutyvr @eatwithmao ."

"Kaide Sushi Bar uses only fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and all their fish is prepared in-house and with care. Their signature dishes include a sushi bar for sashimi, maki and nigiri, and rice bowls with toppings. The sushi contains only wild sockeye salmon and wild albacore tuna sourced fresh each day and prepared by hand."

"Kaide boasts the bold claim of “Best Sushi in Vancouver” on its website, so it’s worth visiting and deciding for yourself. But those who have already been there know that Kaide is considered one of Yaletown’s hidden gems. With a simple interior, the focus is all on the fresh and finely-prepared Japanese food."

"Founded in 2005 on Main Street, Umeboshi is known for its selection of unique footwear and complementary accessories. Owner Stephanie Gorrell focuses on handcrafted wares from independent designers. She says, “Each piece has a history to share, and it is our joy to muse on it with you.” Some of the designers at Umeboshi include Anne Thomas, Maryam Nassir Zadeh, Soludos, and Veja sneakers."

"A fusion seafood restaurant in the heart of Downtown, you can't go wrong with this spot. They've got all the sushi you want and much more - like okonomiyaki, udon, hot pot, and so so many appetizers. We love their assorted combos and sets, like the Vancouver Sashimi and Chef's Aburi."

"Katsuya is officially opening its first Vancouver location on Robson Street. The Toronto-based Japanese fusion tonkatsu chain opened a location in Coquitlam last fall, and now the brand is opening its second BC location at 1471 Robson Street. Address: 1471 Robson Street, Vancouver"

"Combat the sometimes-gloomy Vancouver weather with a warm bowl of Japanese ramen noodles. The international trend has not left this area behind—there are numerous Vancouver restaurants serving up Japanese ramen bowls throughout the city. Lines form out the door at Ramen Danbo (1333 Robson St. and 1833 W. 4th Ave.) for traditional tonkotsu ramen with a rich pork broth, at Hokkaido Ramen Santouka (1690 Robson St. and 558 W. Broadway St.) for their milky white broth as well as soy- and miso-flavored varieties, and at Marutama Ramen (780 Bidwell St., 2858 Main St. and 270 Robson St.) for noodle bowls with a creamy chicken broth."

"A post shared by JINYA Ramen Bar (@jinyaramenbar) on Aug 7, 2018 at 6:40pm PDT. With all the fall and winter rain we get, it’s no wonder Vancouver has a truly incredible selection of ramen spots. Jinya is one of our favourites, quick and easy, it offers a great selection of authentic ramen and also boasts a fantastic spicy creamy vegan ramen."

"Normally, staff meal for us is a shared time where we sit down as a family before service and eat something together. Usually, ​one of us cooks something homey for"

"Home to the Jericho Sailing Centre a great spot for a cheap lunch with an amazing view —and Jericho Park, this beautiful beach is ideal for sailing, walking and biking along the park's pathways, and playing tennis. It's the perfect place for a sunset stroll. Jericho Beach is also the venue for July's annual Vancouver Folk Music Festival."

"My all-time favourite place to photograph families in Vancouver. Jericho Beach gets truly beautiful light and has multiple places we can photograph until the sun is almost down, at which point we can move to the beach. Jericho is located on Vancouver’s west side, just west of Kitsilano and a short drive from downtown."

"Located just west of Kitsilano, Jericho Beach is a well-used sandy beach and grassy park in Vancouver. It's a great place for a picnic overlooking the water and watching sail boats in the waters of English Bay from the local Sailing Centre. The beach is named after Jeremiah Rogers who ran a logging camp… read more »"

"Kitsilano Beach offers a host of dynamic and appealing reasons to visit. From the luscious white sand and gorgeous scenery, to the family friendly section outfitted with a park and outdoor swimming pool, Kitsilano beach is one you’ll want to visit. This is very much one of the Vancouver beaches most popular with the locals, and while you will find a lot of younger adults; the pool and park available for kids are top notch."

"Although it lies just ten minutes’ drive to the west of the center, Kitsilano Beach feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of Downtown Vancouver. Facing out onto English Bay, it boasts stunning sands and scenery, as well as the city’s only saltwater swimming pool. Particularly popular during the summer months, the beach has playgrounds, picnic areas, and volleyball courts, with basketball and tennis also on offer."

"Overlooking the waters of English Bay in Vancouver, Kitsilano Beach is a popular, often crowded sandy beach at the north end of Yew Street. Edged by a broad seawall, it is home to the saltwater Kitsilano Pool, the longest pool in Canada, which is operated by the Vancouver Park Board and open from May to… read more »"

"If you ask for directions to John Hendry Park, you’ll get blank stares—it’s known to locals as "Trout Lake Park" after the body of water that's its centerpiece and focal point of this 67-acre former peat bog. The lake has a lovely freshwater beach; swimming is allowed, and from May to September there are lifeguards on duty. In winter, if the lake freezes solid enough to skate on—this has happened once in the past 20 years—it doubles as an outdoor rink."

"Home to one of Vancouver’s biggest farmers' markets every Saturday in summer, John Hendry Park buzzes with a local East Vancouver crowd. A walkway circles tranquil Trout Lake – a natural lake fronted by a small beach at the center of the park – and expansive grass fields provide the perfect park setting for outdoor concerts. Activities abound at the Trout Lake Community Centre, a civic-spirited, light-filled facility just west of the lakeshore."

"Home to a robust farmers’ market on Saturdays, a small lake for swimming on one end and canine shenanigans on the other, tennis courts, a still-closed indoor ice rink and activity center, it’s got a healthy tie-dye/kilt/pierced body parts quotient and the air is often freshly scented with BC bud. People-watch and get ideas for your next—or first—tattoo, even if it’s a temporary decal."

"Not to be confused with nearby Renfrew Community Park, this serene sliver of a park makes the most of Still Creek and its corresponding ravine. On the north side of East 29th Avenue is a newly fenced off-leash dog park but the main draw attraction is the shaded walkway hugging the creek. On the south side of 29th, a newly built stairway leads down to another stretch of the creek and a short boardwalk."
