Top Best Sushi Places & Restaurants in West Vancouver

"A post shared by mr_dockins (@mr_dockins) on Jun 15, 2019 at 4:50pm PDT. Miku waterfront first introduced Vancouver to Aburi pressed sushi over a decade ago in 2008 and ever since then, we cannot get enough of the flame-seared pressed sushi. The Salmon Oshi Sushi is by far the most popular and begins with a base of seasoned rice that then gets a thin piece of fresh salmon on top and finished with a thin slice of jalapeño."

"A post shared by Ancora Waterfront Dining (@ancoradining) on Mar 25, 2019 at 10:38am PDT. With two locations situated right by the water, Ancora will offer you an amazing fusion of Peruvian and Japanese seafood cuisine. The two unlikely pairings truly offer Vancouver something different than other seafood restaurants."

"Ancora's Executive Chef, Ricardo Valverde, brings more than a decade of culinary experience to the kitchen. Also in the kitchen is Chef Yoshihiro Tabo. Coming from Japan, he leads the restaurant's raw bar, also bringing years of experience and incredible talent."

"Imagine yourself sitting on a sunny patio that overlooks the water. Boats are coming in and out, while cyclists and people stroll along the Seawall. As you enjoy the view, you tuck into a beautiful meal, sip a cold glass of wine, and enjoy the moment."

"The grandfather of Vancouver’s sushi restaurants is, undoubtedly, Tojo’s (1133 West Broadway), which has been going strong for 32 years. Chef Tojo, who enjoys world-wide acclaim, has been a pathmaker, credited for introducing Omakase to Vancouver, as well as creating the “inside out” Tojo roll (aka the “California roll”), as well as the BC roll and rainbow roll. He’s just released a fall seven-course omakase menu, which features items like a tuna sashimi ice bowl with Tojo’s special sauce, in additional to a seasonal assortment of sushi."

"The lowdown: Legendary Tojo’s may have celebrated its 30th anniversary last year, but its energetic mastermind, Hidekazu Tojo, still presides over the sushi bar, personally greeting guests while decked out in his trademark hachimaki headband. Celeb sightings with a side of sashimi are common; past guests have included Justin Timberlake, Kate Middleton and Prince William, among others. (Tojo-san has all the photos saved in a special binder to prove it)."

"The home of the California roll, Tojo’s is the place to go when you really want to impress friends from out of town. Chef Tojo continues to experiment with new flavours, plus the recently introduced cocktail hour menu makes this spot more approachable than ever. Hours: Monday to Saturday from 5PM, Cocktail Hour Thursday to Saturday, 4PM-6PMWhere: 1133 West Broadway"

"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"

"Eating out is a lot of people’s favorite thing to do in Vancouver and staring at your phone for 30 minutes in a doorway while you wait for a table is something you just get used to doing - and Toshi is no exception. This is partially due to their no-reservation policy and the fact that it’s only slightly larger than a walk-in-closet, but it’s mostly because the food is really good and affordable. If you do end up waiting the usual hour or more and items haven’t sold out yet, the eel oshi sushi, caramelized barbeque eggplant, and buttery black cod are incredible."

"A post shared by Toshi Sushi (@toshisushivan) on Oct 29, 2019 at 2:39pm PDT. This South Main restaurant has been operating since 2004. While it doesn’t take reservations, many would agree the potential line you might face to devour Toshi’s nigiri is well worth the wait."

"Toshi is a high-end sushi restaurant in Vancouver that is sure to live up to its hype. You may have to wait 15-30 minutes to get in, but it is most definitely worth it. This Vancouver sushi restaurant has good quality food, along with fast and friendly service."

"There are days when nothing but sushi will do, and wanting your sushi to be fresh and of the best quality goes without saying. That’s where West End’s Tom Sushi comes in, with not just premium quality sushi, but affordable prices too. Their food is super delicious, and that’s why they also made it to the top of our list of Best Sushi spots in Vancouver."

"Since Vancouver has so many great established sushi spots, most people have their go-to spots. This tends to make it difficult for newcomers to sway or impress locals. Not the case for Tom Sushi."

"Victoria Sushi is such a hidden gem and ultimately my favourite place to grab affordable, yet delicious aburi sushi. I would definitely say that their sushi is comparable to many high end Japanese restaurants — Featured: Salmon and scallop oshi aburi ($10-$12).

"A post shared by Cafe Deux Soleils (@cafedeuxsoleils) on Apr 24, 2015 at 10:56am PDT. A longstanding fixture on Commercial Drive, Cafe Deux Soleils is a fam-jam friendly delight and welcomes play dates where parents can tip back a coffee or pint while kids play. It has a play area that doubles as a stage for evening events and features a giant chalkboard kids can doodle on."

"Location: 2096 Commercial Drive, VancouverCategory: Comfort foodDescription: Hearty, healthy comfort food in a unique restaurant that hosts tons of fun events and a wicked happy hour. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a variety of options that range from nachos to pot pie to coconut curry.Website: www.cafedeuxsoleils.com"

"Café Deux Soleils places emphasis on comforting soul food with a healthy flair. It is host to many open mic events, featuring everything from music to poetry. The same stage that is used for these events at nighttime doubles as a play area for children during the day, complete with plenty of books, blocks, and coloring activities."

"But locals sometimes grumble about high prices at the more upmarket stands – which makes cash-only Hamburger 2.85 (corner of Granville Street and West Pender Street) a breath of meaty, fresh air. Named after the price of its staple offering, expect peak-time line-ups for its teriyaki-sauced patties, crispy lettuce, thick tomato slices and toasted buns – the kind of burgers that put rubbery fast-food versions to shame."

"Burger $2.85--which rebranded a couple of years ago as Wakwak Burger--is definitely a Vancouver street food gem. From classic burgers with their special sauce to things like crispy chicken burgers and their sides of fries, it’s no wonder Wakwak Burger always ends up on many a local’s guide for the best cheap eats."

"A post shared by Josh Tan (@jkyletan) on Jul 22, 2015 at 6:12pm PDT. Wakwak burger sells not one, not two, but several of the burgers on their menu for $2.85. And we’re not talking about a sad burger that’s a bun and done, no, it’s got all the size, toppings, and flavour to be a serious contender."

"The cool part about Faubourg's almond croissant is the almond paste appears baked right in unlike most of the entrants which have the croissant sliced open to have the almond paste lathered on. The top layer in this almond croissant was sparse, and though the rise was great, the shell thinned out quickly leading to little flakiness. For $5, this looked pretty small and left a lot to be desired relative to other places on this list."

"Le Mont Blanc” is one of the pastries available at Faubourg, the scrumptious French bakery. It’s a spin on a classic, featuring chestnut mousse paired with a cassis gelée and sweet meringue, set over a sable breton.

"From triple chocolate decadence to passion fruit mousse, this bakery/cafe is a must-try for those wishing to be whisked away to Paris, right here in Vancouver."
