Had a good solid dinner at black rice izakaya last night. We got seated promptly and served some hot tea. We ordered three items to share between two people.7 piece aburi sushi collection - $20 - 4 pieces of aburi nigiri and 3 pieces aburi hakozushi. All very tasty and a good assortment. My favorite is the salmon with the jalapeño on top.Tataki rainbow sushi roll - $15.50 - tasty roll with crabmeat, cucumber and asparagus in the middle and topped with salmon and/or tuna.Spicy chilli crab - $18.50 - loved this. Deep fried soft shell crab served with a sweet chilli sauce. Quite spicy but I loved it. Great crunch. Cooked perfectly!

There were a bunch of great tapas to try. I recommend the steak bites, clay pot rice, and sashimi. I wasn't a fan of the ebi fritters because of how thick the batter was. Also, the sauce with the fritters was super sweet, which was off-putting. The creamy udon is something you can skip. It just tastes like fettucine Alfredo, but with udon. Overall, it's a place that's worth a try.

Had dinner here few hours ago. We ordered a salad with tuna tataki, unagi roll, tempura, and donburis.The foods were tasty. Its a fusion of east asian (japanese korean) and western culinary. Presentation is good. I was impressed with the unagi roll the most! Its torched, its a while eel with tempura in the middle, with black rice.So far, Id like to go back and try other dishes. There should be more interesting ones to try when I have the chance. Service was excellent!

Came for lunch, and the food was okay! I thought it was a bit overpriced for the amount of food you get, but it looks like an interesting menu and I’ll return to try other items.

Went here with friends, the server and service are amazing and welcoming!I like the food here. Tried couple dishes and they are all delicious!The mystery tapa set is interesting and the sashimi are fresh.I also enjoy the udon, but compared to other dishes, udon is above average.The grilled beef and a unagi roll are the best dishes! Looks so fancy and taste very delicious. They are must ordered on my list!

Food was ok but fish on the rainbow roll was small and not a single piece. It seems like leftover pieces put on top of roll. Sushi rice was nice. Each grain was individual. They gave so little soy sauce (the pic with the soy sauce with the uni was the only soy sauce they gave me) and since there is not bottle at table, had to ask server but I rarely saw my server to ask that some pieces I had to eat with soy sauce since in a rush to leave to watch a show. Nothing spectacular.

We found this place online. We were downtown and after a massage we were looking for some good food.When we arrived it was just at capacity and we snuck in with 2 seats at the bar.The service was good overall, with a couple small glitches. My girlfriend asked for the resiling on the wine list and they were out. I asked for the Asahi super dry also out. So we each had to settle for something else, which was fine but obviously not our preference.The food itself was good. We had 2 of their specialy rolls, a regular roll, squid appetizer, tuna tataki, and the beef sukiyaki. Portions were fair size and we left full. Presentations is excellent and the service fast. Our favorite was the jalapeño tuna roll, squid, and tuna tataki.$$-$$$

Very skipable. Staff and service was great. The food was very forgettable. Karage looked crispy but wasn’t crispy. Pretty pedestrian. Hamachi Kama wasn’t fresh for such a cheap cut. It was mushy and very fishy. The sushi platter wasn’t good. Everything was trying to be too different. Heavily sauced sushi and couldn’t taste the fish. I mean who puts black olives in sushi?! It over powered any other flavors in the sushi. Rice was poorly seasoned. California roll was very bland in tasted and presentation. They just added extra imitation crab on top to try to make it seem special. Tempura was decent but the sauce was too sweet in my opinion. Overall very forgettable. Our bill was about $180 with a large sake. In my opinion It was kind of pricy for what we got. The leather in the seats were tore up and the ambiance was that of a lunch venue. We were traveling in town saw the 4 star reviews so we came but it was a very regrettable meal. There’s tons of fantastic food in Vancouver. THIS AINT IT

Food is absolutely delicious. Gyu katsu is so good. Lollipop looks pretty and is refreshing. Will come back for other dishes.

Nigiri tastes like kimbap. Their food is a fusion of Korean and Japanese. Not really an authentic Japanese food. Overall, the food is good, but not my things.
