One of the best "Korean-owned" Japanese restaurants.
I’ve heard so many great things from many people about Sushimoto but just never ended up going! Sushimoto is inconspicuously located at Holdom Station, making it easy to SkyTrain to. If you’re driving, the building also offers free 1 hour parking which was nice. Chirashi don: The chirashi don was on a lunch special for $10. We split this and were quite satisfied with it too. There was a good amount of sashimi and everything tasted fresh.
The sushi rice also came drizzled with the sauce used for the unagi. It was sweet and reminded me a bit of teriyaki. The unagi sauce and sesame made the rice taste even better.
Not the friendliest servers, but super fast service. Their sushi is really good & when I get the take-out, it balances things out. Dined here just once, but takeout from this place is probably best for me!
The location is convenient near Skytrain station Holdom. Great sushi selection and choice. I found the menu items lacking imagination. Price fair. Quality good.
Sushimoto was chosen as our venue for lunch the other day. An anticipated first-time visit for us - we arrived at the restaurant a few minutes before it opened at 11:30 am.
The restaurant is located about mid-way in a small and rather neat & tidy plaza of retail shops and services at the base of a high-rise tower, adjacent the Holdom Skytrain Station. The restaurant is quite small, and cozy in its design, setup, colours, and decor. The largest tables are arranged along the window, remaining tables along the one inside wall, and down the centre section, plus, there’s a long counter & chair setup directly in front of, and beneath the chef’s doing their thing in the kitchen. For us, after getting settled into our table, it looked and ‘felt’ comfy.
Service to our table was friendly and helpful — our server kept tea mugs full, and showed attentive-caring to our dining enjoyment.
What was ordered: dishes ordered arrived from kitchen to table in timely fashion and appropriate sequence — all looking good — and with ’warm’ dishes nice and warm, ’cool’ dishes ‘the right’ amount of cool — my thoughts - “as good as it gets”. Dishes and ingredients listed as (mostly) described in the in-house menu.
- Lunch Special (one order) - Combination (mostly for Mom) - Philadelphia roll (avocado, salmon, cream cheese, smoked salmon on top), ebi (prawn) sunomono salad, and miso soup.
- Lunch Special (two orders) - Chirashi (for daughter and I) - salmon, tuna, ebi (prawn), hokkigai (surf clam), tai (fish), tomago (egg), masago (fish roe), served on sushi rice, with unagi kabayaki sauce (bbq eel & soy based), and garnishes of shredded daikon, lemon slice, pickled ginger, and wasabi, and miso soup.
- A La Carte: ika (squid) geso karaage (mostly for daughter and I), oyster motoyaki (for Mom), spicy agedashi tofu (w/spicy sauce on the side - shared), and korroke (sweet potato croquette - shared).
Nice presentations - colourful and inviting. The preparations delicious — ingredients of each, looking and tasting so fresh, very distinctly flavoured, and tasty. Quality ingredients, prepared with attention and care.
The place was “cool”, service good, and the food so fresh-tasting and well prepared. For a dining experience, that amounts to “as-good-as-it-gets’ in my books!!
Came here in a large group for lunch. Service was quite good. Prices were reasonable. They provided complimentary fried salmon since we were in a large group. Taste wise, it was quite good with good portion sizes.
My friend took me there to try the scollop sushi. As far as I can remember, it's better than the average sushi place ( we already have too many in this city :()
Sushimoto is located on north Burnaby. It is a small Japanese restaurant, but the food and services are excellent.
I would recommend making reservations if you want to avoid waiting. It usually takes 20-30 minutes.
Nice presentation. Good quality of food. Excellent services.

One of the better sushi places in vancouver. Having experienced real sushi in Japan. I have to say the sushi in vancouver is far from authentic. I don't care for the giant rolls drenched is sauces "sushi". That is not real sushi. Sushimoto provides a go between. Some delicious authentic dishes as well as special rolls. Either way the food is fresh, tasty, and consistent. Priced very fairly this place is a must try for and sushi enthusiasts.
Great action figure collection

Very good sushi selection and presentation! After visiting it for 2 times, now it has become one of my favorite sushi spots in town! I like the fact that they put a bit of wasabi underneath the fish for some sushi. The unagi don was full of juicy fatty pieces of eel. Super close to the Holdom skytrain station!
After bowling at Revs, my friend and I decide to go for dinner so we decide to go Sushimoto next to the skytrain station. We both ordered some rolls, combo and Appetizer! Overall, staff was nice and the food was delicious.
