Review Hiko Sushi Japanese Restaurant - Abbotsford

The first thing I noticed when I entered the restaurant was the polished look and clean style. I went on a Thursday afternoon, so the restaurant was peaceful, and I enjoyed the soft upbeat music. After browsing the menu and deciding what I wanted to eat, I only got halfway to setting the menu down before my waitress asked if I was ready to order. I got the Dyna Combo, a Dynamite roll, a Crunch Prawn roll, and a Crunch California roll all for the affordable price of $18. I also sipped on some complimentary tea which made a lovely pair with the sushi. After only a few minutes my food arrived, and it was one of the fastest meals I’ve ever received at a restaurant. The Dynamite roll was downright immaculate, the roll's girth warrants a safety warning and children or people with small mouths are advised to take a couple of bites for each roll. The roll is packed with more crab than a California roll, two pieces of crispy prawn tempura, cucumber, and avocado. The sauces on this roll are really what made it a sweet teriyaki sauce and a creamy peanut mayo brings together the symphony that is this roll. The Crunch prawn roll scared me a bit on paper: white rice, tempura, and panko flakes seemed like a lot of starch in one roll, but it pulled through and waved any previous fears—this rolls crunch factor came through to make another delicious roll. The teriyaki sauce was again a welcomed addition on both the Crunch Prawn and California rolls. I left feeling fully satisfied, Hiko Sushi is a restaurant I plan on returning to and a sushi spot I would highly recommend.

I never write reviews but I ordered from Hiko for the first time and absolutely had to get on here to show them some love. Wow! I ordered the Alaska and the Kiss Me roll and they were both the best sushi dish I’ve ever had.. and I’ve enjoyed many different sushi restaurants. Absolutely delicious, 10/10 will order from here from now on. The Kiss Me roll is next level delicious. Ordered takeout so can’t comment on service or atmosphere but food was incredible.

Great sushi place to hit up when visiting the attractions near by. I suggest parking in the back area. You can access the restaurant from there too.

Food was delicious and the udon was perfect for the cold weather. Very friendly owner.

Not my absolute favourite place for sushi, but very good! Nigiri pieces are generously sized in the protein department. My husband ordered Teriyaki chicken and said it was very good. The Gyoza weren’t my favourite, but my husband thought they were better than our usual place, so you just can’t please all of the people all of the time. Décor here is very modern rustic, which I love, and the bathrooms were spacious and spotless; friendly service that isn’t too in-your-face or bothersome during the meal. The reason I won’t come back in awhile is that there are a LOT of other Sushi restaurant options in Abbotsford for me to try first.

It was a sunny Thursday afternoon when I walked through the doors of Hiko Sushi, my friend Cole and I had just finished a workout and needed some food; we were both craving sushi so we decided to go to the nearest one we could find. Hiko is located just off the Whatcom exit in Abbotsford, it’s a small restaurant with a relaxed vibe and modern decor. Our waitress kindly guided us to our seats and handed us menus—I ordered green tea and water to drink and began browsing the menu. Hiko Sushi serves a wide variety of Japanese food; I ended up ordering a $6.5 dynamite roll and $14 chicken teriyaki which is served with a miso soup. After only 11 minutes the food began showing up, first the miso soup; it was good, the flavour was sturdy with tofu and chopped green onions adding flavour and texture, however, it was nothing special just a standard miso soup. Next, the dynamite roll arrived, to say this was the best sushi roll I’ve ever had wouldn't be an understatement. The imitation crab was flavourful base, the deep-fried prawn gave the roll a crispy texture, the avocado and cucumber added freshness, the sum of rolls centre had all the needed ingredients without sacrificing the structural integrity of the roll, something other dynamite rolls struggle with. the nori was sturdy, and the rice was fluffy, topped with sesame seeds, most importantly it didn’t overpower the roll. The sauces were the M.V.P. of the roll, a sweet rich teriyaki sauce and a creamy nutty peanut mayo. This roll is a prime example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts, although the ingredients are top quality it is the synergy that makes this roll stand out. Last came the entrée, it was a fluffy Japanese white rice, savoury stir-fried veggies, and tender grilled chicken, which was the highlight of the dish; all this was topped with the delicious teriyaki sauce that was on the dynamite roll, however, there was too much teriyaki sauce, its sweetness overshadowed the other flavours of the dish. the portion size was large, and the dish was overall delicious. The sips of hot tea elevated the dining experience, it and pickled ginger cleansed my pallet in between each bite, allowing my taste buds to rediscover the flavours in every bite I took. As Cole put it. “Hiko Sushi made me feel like I was eating sushi for the first time. I was blown away with their service and their quality of food, not to mention how reasonably priced it was I recommend Hiko to any seafood/sushi lover in Abbotsford!” Overall, my experience at Hiko Sushi was delightful, the meal was filling and some of the best Japanese cuisine I’ve ever had, the food was also prepared in what felt like an instant and all for just over $25. With all this in mind, I would give Hiko Sushi five stars. It is a restaurant that I plan on visiting again as soon as I get a chance.

Love stopping here when we drive to Vancouver. We fill up our tummies and the vehicle in one stop. I often order a couple of rolls but decided to try the sake don(salmon sashimi donburi-pictured). Very nice. I also usually get gomae but the sauce has peanuts here and my son is allergic, so I chose to skip it. Got the wakame salad instead.

Great sushi and fantastic hosts! It's a very friendly place and they're quick making it a great place for a quick, healthy work lunch. Thanks again for an excellent lunch Hiko!

New owner/chef is really good. A huge improvement from the previous ones. Everything is delicious and excellent quality. I go here once a week.

UP - Friendly staff, good location, decent sushi.<br/><br/>DOWN - Perhaps priced a little on the high side. Tuna cone was  little uninspiring.<br/><br/>OUT - This spot is located in right on the highway. A good spot to fill up, grab a coffee, and if you have time, sit down to eat some sushi. Food itself was alright, service was very nice, but nothing out of this world.

I went to Hiko Sushi on Nov 6th 2015 for dinner. The waitress was very friendly. As I sat down she gave me a free piece of crispy veggie spring roll. It was good. I ordered a tamago roll, full order of prawn tempura and Miso soup. The menu is a little pricey compared to other places in the area. The food was good, tempura was good and not greasy, miso was good , the sushi rice and tamago was good but the chef need to roll them better . Every piece of tamago roll was falling apart making them a little awkward to eat. They gave a generous portion of wasabi and ginger and the waitress also left me a pitcher of water and pot of tea on my table. The meal cost $13,97 after tax.

Hiko sushi is pretty good, service is beyond polite and will generally give you samples on the house if it's empty.  <br/><br/>The portions are good and the prices are fair, they have many great combo plates to choose from; but the taste is so-so.  It seems like about 60% of their maki rolls contain pollock and their specialty rolls sometimes taste just a bit old.   If you go here just know you are going to get a consistent average.  I keep going back though.

Great Place. Every time I drive to Vancouver, Hiko Sushi is a Must stop!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!. I don't write reviews much but I registered just to write a review for these guys. I genuinely want them to succeed. Went for lunch and they were empty. At first I thought oh man this place can't be any good. This quickly changed after I met the owners. They welcome you and service you like a family member. They were quick and the food was delicious. Everything is fresh and tastes authentic. I am Asian and have eaten sushi everywhere including some of the best restaurants out there. This is not high end by any means not do they offer fancy special rolls like in vancouver but it is a nice and affordable place where service is friendly and fast and genuine and food portion is abundant and delightful. <br/><br/>Please give them a try next time you need lunch or dinner. You won't regret it.

Good taste!! greatest service!!

Great price and quality!. My husband and I moved to Abbotsford a few months ago and have been craving good sushi ever since. We've tried out numerous ones in town, most are overpriced as well as poor quality of both the rice and fish. <br/>Hiko Sushi, a tiny restaurant that doesn't get enough credit, is tucked away off the popular Whatcom exit. They have great prices and the taste and quality of food is exactly what we've been looking for!!! Not only that but the service was prompt without feeling rushed. <br/>They even started our order for sushi with complimentary spring rolls!

Went hear despite some negative reviews. It was fantastic. Food was very good, that's coming from a fairly picky sushi lover. Price/ value was good. On the avg-high for small sushi restaurants. Service was good. Most importantly was the quality of the sushi, very good.

I've never ate at this place before so i don't know anything about the old manger, the food was great and the serives was on point family run business and i can't wait to come back!

New Management!. If you haven't gone because of the poor service, it is a time to give it another try.<br/>New owners as of last month service is exceptional.<br/>Very good food, generous, almost too much food.<br/>Good pricing<br/>On the house spring rolls as soon as you walk in makes it even better!<br/><br/>Highly recommended!

I heard the owner has been changed!! So i went there to how it changed, overally, it was fabulous!! Since the owner changed, the atmosphere and services have been changed (the quality of food, of course!) Specially, unexpected on the house pleased me so much!!! Thank you Hiko!

Bad atmosphere. Grumpy staff. Good hot meal but not the sushi

The portion size was small & the veggie tempura has given me wicked heart burn! I do not recommend this place.

Very disappointing. Portions were mediocre, quality was below average and variety was lacking. No soy sauce packs included with takeout. Way better places in town. Skip Hiko Abbotsford.

Decent food, but we have never experienced such horrible service at any restaurant. We have stopped at Hiko Sushi several times, and the service is always poor, but this was ridiculous. We were the only people in the restaurant. Not only will we not return, but we will tell everyone to not frequent this establishment.
