Best Sushi restaurant in Canada

J	J C on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sure is a hidden gem in Vancouver. Restaurant will need reservations days prior and will not take walk ins. Tiny restaurant, very clean and cozy. Best to bring your partner or just bring a friend or two. The food is good, right now charges around CAD 160 each person, which I think is fair due to all the inflated prices out there.
L	Li Regan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolute marvel of a place. Best Japanese Omakase in Vancouver hands down. Chef and waitresses are amazing, and the food is sublime. Also recommend their sake and/or sweet potato beer, wow.
C	Chris L on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Superlative experience. Chef Masayoshi introduced every delicious dish with warmth and passion. His fantastic team was attentive and friendly and made it a very memorable evening for me and my family. Also an excellent selection of Japanese beer (Coedo), sake and whisky.
H	Hayley Mah on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had the pleasure of sitting closest to where the chef was preparing everything so gold stars already. All of the staff were amazing. You first walk in and after verifying your reservation and vaccination you’re taken to your seat. Note that because of covid, there are limited seats at the bar so you may end up sitting at a table. One of my favourite things about ordering sake is that you get a choice of which of the unique cups you’d like to use. All the dishes were well explained and each piece was perfectly dressed so there was no need to dunk anything in soy sauce. I would really love to come back here one day and hopefully bring some friends to share the experience. Thank you so much for a wonderful time!
M	MK C on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ - Omakase experience was mediocre at best for me. I like a more experimental omakase, otherwise what's the difference between this restaurant compared to lower-priced, regular sushi restaurants? Maybe we'll try again when the menu changes. - Fish used for nigiri was fresh and good quality, no doubt. - Don't bother coming if you can't get seats at the sushi bar.
T	Tri Chiem on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Is this the top Omakase experience in Vabcouver? It's priced as such and while the service from the moment you enter to the dessert finale is attentive and entertaining, it's the food you come for and this is where I think Masayoshi could have done better. Each course was presented well and, yes many of the sushi were varieties I've never tried before. Nothing really blew my mind except for the bill at the end. And it's not the amount, since you should already know what to expect when you book here, it's the fact that I didn't feel the whole experience matched the price tag. Some fish were flown in, and so specific of the place they had a laminated slip indicating where the tuna originated. It was good maguro but I would have loved to try more parts of the tuna including the delicious otoro we were served. One downside was our addition of caviar ($60) which didn't offer great texture nor flavour to which it was supposed to enhance our sushi. One outstanding dish was the Japanese sourced Uni which, admittedly was probably the best I've ever tasted. A couple of sodas and a couple mid-priced sakes later set us back $550 pre-tip so closer to $650 for the twofer meal. And even tho I didn't pay this time (thanks to my good friend), I still felt slighted by the mismatch in price to expectations. Still, it was a fun place to experience Omakase. It may just be sometime before I give them another shot. (Edited to correct a dish we were served)
T	Tracy Ta on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Severely missed the mark for me. The chef was kind and the staff were also very kind. The food itself wasn’t up to par. It’s place is quite pricey. The quality of fish was good, I wouldn’t say it’s amazing. I think that a lot more could have been done with many of the dishes that were not nigiri. The lack of flavor and creativity was quite sad. The price point is not worth it.
R	Rajeev Davé on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Masayoshi prices itself as a five star Vancouver sushi-ya. I'm not in the habit of qualitatively comparing restaurants in a review, but you can look at my profile for what I consider to be top examples of the style in the area. Let's start with the positives... We had an early seating for the nigiri omakase on a weeknight with the optional caviar course and a bottle of sake. Making the reservation and accommodating one of our party's preferences were handled efficiently. The food was beautifully-presented and the table service was warm and efficient. Now the drawbacks... We had two (of what I assume are rare) service issues that were discretely-reported but not addressed, which results in my rating: - We were over-charged for the sake. The price differential was relatively minimal (but in the restaurant's favor). We let this slide given the following. - A foreign object in one course was acknowledged by our server but then denied by the chef. At this price point, given the effort our party took to discretely report the issue, and the servers acknowledgement of same, it's inexcusable for the management to refuse to address it.
