Best Japanese restaurant in Canada

A	Andreas Wallström on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Most of the food there is really nice, however the salmon avocado sushi I got was +90% rice.
M	Maya Selitser on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is my absolute most favourite place to eat dinner in the village. The food is delicious, and the sake margs are always a good time. Meg was an absolute legend when she served us - she was so accommodating and she helped move our party of 10 into a big booth instead of 2 separate tables. She was so kind and really made our night!!
L	Lily Barnham on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our first time at harajuku, was recommended to us by a friend and we were really pleased. Casual atmosphere with super tasty food (the sweet mushroom bao are so good!) and the Japanese slipper cocktail was amazing. What made our experience above and beyond was the service we received from Lawrence (bar tender). Incredibly friendly and attentive, with a really positive energy. You really made our night, hope to see you again next time!
V	Vananh Nguyen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We went here for dinner tonight. It was really disappointing and left us all quite upset. The food was mediocre and the service was HORRENDOUS! We ordered, ate, and left within 1 hr. We didn't want to order anymore food or be subjected to that service. Our server, Sigrid, was very short with us and every interaction had an undertone of disdain from the moment we got there. Couple of examples: 1) She never did anything without making a snarky remark or action. She brought the wrong dish. Seemingly not believing us, she placed it on an empty table behind us and proceeded to check the order on her tablet to confirm it was indeed the wrong order. After this big show and realizing she was wrong, she didn't acknowledge the mistake whatsoever. I would expect a professional to take the dish to the kitchen and check the order there. She tried to shame us and it backfired. 2) When my husband went up to the bar to pay for the bill (we all had to get out of there), she had to point out that she was making an exception by allowing him to pay at the bar. Nevertheless, the bill did not include an auto gratuity but she told my husband that he HAD to pay 18% when she handed him the credit card machine. That's fine but you could add it to the bill and don't imply that we're going to short you. It felt like she was racist and expected a bad tip from the start. A bad tip would have been warranted given the service. She was completely unprofessional and disrespectful the whole time. The menu leaves something to be desired. The tuna roll was ice cold and the rest of the food was lukewarm. I hope others have a better experience.
D	Dmitri Elmov on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very cozy atmosphere and decor. Staff are friendly and attentive. Did arrived fast and everything tasted amazing!
T	Toni D on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ New to Whistler and I was expecting my new colleagues to bring me to some Canadian Restaurants. To my surprise, I was brought to this Japanese Resto. Well, no regrets at all.. I love all the foods we ordered (feels good to be back in Asia?) Nice ambiance and excellent customer service too. We’ll definitely come back!
J	Justin Tan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ After a long day of driving, I was looking for some sushi, and I was hoping Harajuku was the answer, I was wrong. I like that they check for vaccinations, but it went downhill from there. The chicken karake was ok, nothing to wow you with, sushi was on the bad side, may as well get them from T&T, I guess there’s none in the area. The BBQ pork ramen, the bbq pork was ok, the noodles was cooked in the broth so it got some of the miso flavour, but the noodles was not the fresh ones, it’s the kind similar to instant noodles, why would one pay almost $20 for it. Service was also disappointing, no chopsticks or fork for the ramen, and waited forever for water and bill. Maybe it’s covid, they are a little short staffed, but my experience was less than satisfied
R	Rick K on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really like this place. Great for vegan's and vegetarians, so many options. BAO buns were great. Vegan miso soup is awesome! The salmon vegan dish was so unique, not my favorite but really appreciate how different it is. Sushi tacos I would order once but then never again. We didn't really like them but seriously where you going to find a Japanese taco? Brussel sprouts were crazy good strongly recommend those and the rocking roll was delicious. This is owned by the same company as oyama Raman so if you don't want a sushi dish you can order Raman too from here. What a great place, glad we visited.
