Tokyo Joe's sushi - Richmond

Worse sushi I had in greater Vancouver. This restaurant is bad in preparing for sushi. Even my kid can make better sushi than them. You can see the aburi sushi in photo was barely grilled and rice was more than fish and every part is separating from each other. Will not come back.

This was some of the worst sushi I have had. The base for all their rolls is immatation crab and little else. After eating here you would think there is an avocado shortage crisis in the world. The avocado was spread on like a thin paste. Additionally, the smoked salmon on the Alaska roll seemed like they took the Costco salmon and peeled it in half. If you can look past the 90% of immatation crab in the dynamite you will find a piece of lonely prawn tempura comforted by a single piece of sweet potato and thin layer of avocado paste. The tuna sashimi pieces were laughable and lacked any color. This place is over priced and over rated.

Service was very pushy to order extra things. Gotta respect the hustle but as a customer, I did not like that. Food was overall good, quality was okay and pricing was a little on the higher side for what it is. Size of sashimi was quite small.

I would strongly recommend this restaurant if you are near the skytrain in Central Richmond. Their chicken teriyaki rice plate was delicious. I loved when the staff echoed the orders which was so unique. The staff was very friendly. High turnover makes me trust the food here. The tea and tufu miso that came with my meal was so Yummy! I saw the huge portion size of sushi being served at other tables and the portion size of the hot food was great, see pics. Some improvements should be done regarding the following constructive feedback: - I should have said I wanted it saucy when I placed my order. LoL. The rice plate could use some more not watery teriyaki sauce to finish the rice with. - The salad came with something like a white ranch dressing instead of a clear japanese vinegrette. The customer should be given the option to choose the type of dressing or vinegrette. - My friends prefered a lemon slice instead of an orange slice on the salad for dinner. - The ambiance was not authentic japanese but looked like a fast food joint. - The service was great, eating area was clean, the waiter was knowledgeable and I did not smell anything fishy even though sushi was being prepared nearby. - The yam tempura was 6 slices of white yam, cut into thin slices under 1/8" thickness, each slice was inconsistent and it was overpriced. Not good value for money and I hope this will be addressed to create value for customers. I pulled out the thin sliced yam that looked like a potatoe chip but I was left with more tempura batter than yam. Some spots in the tempura batter was raw because the oil was too hot. The quality of the food leaving the kitchen should have been checked before serving. The chef and food prep staff should be retrained. I am used to the 6 slices of 1/2" thick cut bright color yam not white yam at other japanese restaurants which is better value and cost less than $10. - The hot meals should come with an option of a tempura side which will give a competitive edge. I hope this helps. Thank you.

Great experience, friendly staff, fantastic value. We were walking in the area when we found Tokyo Joe's Sushi and went on a whim, why not? Pricing was super affordable, so we got an entire platter to share. The sushi is high quality, fresh, and delicious. Highly recommended the Beef roll, my personal favorite. My friends said the California Roll was incredible, same with the Dynamite roll. Definitely our go to Sushi for the area now!

I tried the dynamite roll, california roll and inari roll. I expected the inari roll to be the stuffed tofu but this wasn't bad for 4 dollars. The dynamite roll was a little too big and wasn't sliced evenly. The pickled ginger was too sweet and sliced too thick so it wasn't my favourite. Overall it was a decent meal.

My cousin lives close to this restaurant so we always buy from here. It's affordable and taste great. Although it's not the best quality, it's really good for the price especially their spicy sushis. Their service is extremely fast, but there is nothing much to say about anything else. The chicken karaage is not that good but still ok. It's a good place to grab good and budget friendly sushis quickly.

Delicious rolls. Black dragon roll has a fancy tail on each roll. Crazy rolls are big and tasty. Tempura were properly cooked, not oily. Will skip yam tempura next time, they were very thin and can hardly taste it.
