ありがとう !!Dope sushi and solid joint! I'd happily come here often after a sweet visit to this joint. They make some rad sushi which was a delight to chow down on and grub there for lunch today. Nice fat and stuffed rolls with fresh tasting ingredients at good value. We got a Vegetable Combo with Dynamite Roll and Inari Roll which was comfortably enough between two people for lunch. I normally don't opt for the vegetarian Combo as the Vegetable rolls are boring but theirs were awesome! Fantastic menu of Japanese classics for hot/cold as well as vegetarian. Wakame Salad was a bit too dosed in sauce and Miso Soup 味噌汁 a tad salty.Their Wasabi is also perfect, really fresh and vibrant.Decor is really cool inside, I dig their makeshift cherry blossoms. Staff are also super friendly and kind.It'd be awesome if they could offered brown/black rice alternatives and if the warm sushi (example Yam Tempura) arrived when warn would be awesome and elevate this to a 5 star review for me.アダムSupport local businesses!
Ordered take out, we got the veggie box, customized dynamite roll, and bulgogi!!! That's right they have a selection of Korean food as well as excellent sushi and other Japanese dishes! The staff was friendly and kind! We'll definitely order from there again!
We ordered a few Bento boxes and some nigiri sushi. Loved the teriyaki chicken box. The green salad was really tasty, nice dressing. The salmon nigiri was great and everything was fresh. Compared to other sushi restaurants, I find it's a lot of food for the price. We were all very happy with our orders. Would recommend!
Unfortunately our experience at Giwa Sushi was disgusting. I'll start with the positives: delicious tuna sashimi - that's it. It seems that all the products are of high enough quality, the staff is friendly and the restaurant looks neat, BUT I have never eaten such a disgusting combination in sushi in my life.Never order a Las Vegas roll - it tastes more like a burger due to the abnormal amount of sauces (ketchup with mustard and mayonnaise to taste).I am very sad that I spent money here and did not enjoy it :(
Awesome customer service, great sushi served fast! Nothing to complain about. They also have parking spots. We will definitely come back.
Love sushi giwa, friendly staff and easy online ordering system. My boyfriend and I frequently get takeout from here. Love their vegetarian options and my boyfriend loves trying all their rolls. 5/5
They don’t even deserve a 1 star. We ordered food online and they gave us a pickup time. The food wasn’t ready, which is fine. When it finally was and we brought it home we were missing a few dishes. Went back to get it and we saw another couple returning food that had mistakenly been given to them and overheard that it was our food. They turned around and gave the food to us, claiming it had been made fresh. We thought, ok, that was quick. When we returned home and opened it it had been touched and the box was broken. It was obviously the other people’s returned food. So back we went, again, to show them. They claimed it WAS made fresh. Had to argue that no it was obviously not. Now we are upset, 3 trips back, other ppls food, cold food at home. End of story they told us they could not make it fresh for us and gave us 20$ and not even apologetic for what happened. Unfortunately will never go back because on a night where you want easy takeout, it should not include leaving your house 3 times and getting other people’s food - any day, but especially covid times!!!
Good price for the quality and variety of sushi!?This is a solid neighborhood sushi location in North Burnaby. I've been coming here a lot more often ever since my old go to have significantly downgraded in quality since 2020. Giwa have sustained the good quality of traditional maki rolls, standard sashimi and special fancy rolls. Also the interior is really nicely designed, bright and warm making it feel welcoming.Some personal favourites: spicy salmon sashimi, negitoro roll, Alaska roll, chopped scalloped roll, any aburi sushi.
Did a pretty decent size order from here the other night. We did take out from this restaurant. Once we brought it back to the hotel there was a pretty major component missing in out order. It wasn't any rolls but it there was no Soy Sauce! How do you miss soy sauce?? I called back and there no we will get someone to bring it out. It was just come back. Easy if it was not that far away. Anyways poor customer service in my opinion. I guess note to self always look over a take out order and make sure there is nothing missing.The sushi was not very good. We ordered the Maki Tray C (98 pcs). Majority of the tray is cook for your information. The smoked salmon did not taste fresh. Tasted like it was a week old. The spicy salmon roll in the tray was just basically drenched in hot sauce. Instead of having the salmon drenched In it the entire outer roll was. Most of the rolls were very saucy just over powered the sushi.We also ordered The Tobiko Hotate Oshi and the Wild Salmon Sushi. It had too much pepper it just over powered everything. All I could taste was black pepper.The Salad was very good. They dressing was well balanced and was pretty much the only thing that was done right. Aside from the Edamame and Chicken Karaage which was decent.I would not order from here again. Yes the soy sauce miss was a big deal for me. Like not sure if they were being cheap but note to the restaurant if you are taking out there is a chance your customer is not from here. So just give every take order soy sauce. But overall the sushi quality in my opinion is not anywhere near Vancouvers level. There are tons of other Sushi places out there. Its not like its the only place in town.
We ordered a few rolls (salmon oshi, salmon avocado roll, yam tempura roll, onagi roll) and they were all pretty good! We also ordered chef roll and salmon karaage and they were very bad! The fish in the chef roll wasn’t fresh and the salmon karaage was very oily and it seemed they used burnt oil to make it. When the server asked us how our food was and we responded. He just left and ignored that we didn’t like two of the food we ordered. If they don’t care about how the customers like their food and they don’t do anything about that, I don’t understand why they ask!!
