Yuwa Japanese Cuisine

A top-notch place for elevated Japanese cuisine does not disappoint. Impeccable quality of ingredients and masterful and food preparation definitely stand out. I could only wish to see more pescatarian-friendly mains. Rolls here pale in comparison to the excellent nigiri sushi.

A super cute Japanese restaurant. We opted for outdoor dining while it was still nice out. Service was attentive and the food was prepared very elegantly. The dishes were yummy but a little pricey. My favorite dish was the Sockeye Salmon Sanshozuke ($16). Delicious sockeye salmon tartar in sanshozuke dressing (jalapeno, koji rice-malt, tamari shoyu), pine nuts, lightly deep fried onions, home-made taro root chips ? My second favorite was the Albacore Tuna & Avocado Nori-Shoyu ($16). BC albacore tuna, avocado, beets sauce, nori soy sauce, rice cracker bits - just worked so well together!

Amazing food, amazing service. Relax and comfy environment. Sushi and sashimi was fresh. Deep fried stuff and tempura were excellent. Seasonal specials are must-try! Too bad Kani Miso was sold out. We got to go back and try again.

Small authentic Japanese restaurant hidden in the west end of Vancouver. You definitely need to make a reservation if coming here as space is limited. Clear plastic barriers between tables and very covid safe. Only street parking available. The menu offers a selection of items which I believe change seasonally. My friend took me here for my birthday dinner and we shared the following items: Sashimi platter - A great way to sample different types of sashimi as you get two pieces of each. My favorite was surprisingly the scallops! All of the sashimi was so fresh and imported from Japan I believe. It comes with a twig of shiso flowers which you can garnish your sashimi with or place into your soy sauce. Very unique and tasty. Chawamushi with ikura - This was my favorite. So flavourful and the egg was perfectly steamed. It includes small hidden pieces of shrimp, chicken, and I think I had a small piece of potato! Japanese pickles - A great small starter and was perfectly sweet and crunchy. Sockeye salmon sanshozuke - A must try and another favorite of mine. It comes with thinly sliced crispy taro chips. The salmon itself has so many flavors. So delicious! Yurine tempura - A unique tempura that reminded us of small pieces of sweet potatoe. Rather than coming with a sweet soy dip, you get a salted matcha powder. The powder is quite potent so be mindful when dipping your tempura as a little goes a long way! We also appreciated that the tempura was fried but not oily at all! Black sesame ice cream - The ice cream is made in house and sooooooo creamy. We thoroughly enjoyed this. Fruit sake flight - A great way to taste different sake if you are indecisive about which bottle to older. You get three glasses of a plum sake, peach, and yuzu. They are a bit concentrated and sweet so they also come with a glass of ice so you can dilute the sake as you please. My favorites were the peach and yuzu flavor. Very refreshing to sip on. Japanese ceremony dessert - A traditional dessert that consists of a ball of mochi with red bean paste inside and a bowl of liquid matcha for you to dip it in. The mochi and red bean is very sweet while the matcha is bitter, so they create the perfect pairing together. Our server was the sweetest lady who was very attentive and constantly refilled our glasses of tea and sparkling water. I will definitely make an effort to come back again and try more of the menu!

Food's good. Great quality and fresh ingredients. Beautiful presentation. Service was impeccable. Well worth the price, only wish the portions were bigger

Interior is modern, seating is comfortable, service is warm and professional, food overall is great! Price tag for each item seems not that expensive but the portion you get is small. I love the presentation of their food! Sushi seems okay, nothing special. Anyway it’s a good place to try a different kind of Japanese cuisine dining experience.

Outstanding meal at the bar. Would be hard pressed to choose my favourite dish, or even top five. Exquisite service and lovely ambiance. Highly recommended.

Reservation is highly recommended. The server is very attentive and very patient while explaining the menu. Loving the presentation and the taste of the food. Everything served looks like an art, such delicacies!
