Impressive dining experience! We went into Sushi Giwa not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised by the delicious food and affordable prices. Recommend all their appetizers, rolls, and lunch boxes.
Kind of pricey, but good sushi. Opted for a takeout, never dined here. Very warm staff, and their giant rolls are a feast in itself! Tried the Canucks roll & loved it!
Waaay better than Sushi Town down the street!! The food quality is outstanding and I especially love their cones and lunch boxes. Will visit here more often from now on.
Met a good friend of mine here for lunch and she told me this is her favourite restaurant. I could understand why this place is her favourite as the food is so fresh and beautifully presented. I highly recommend everyone to try their Giwa Tower Sashimi and Yummy Yummy Roll you'll thank me later! When we were there it was quite busy but our server was attentive and had a friendly smile on her face so that made the experience even better :)
Really impressed by Sushi Giwa. The prices are reasonable and the special rolls and sashimi are delicious and fresh with excellent portions. They also offer today's specials that are really good too. I can't believe how picky some reviewers are considering the great deal they're getting. At this price and quality, I'd say this is one of the best sushi restaurants in Burnaby!
Fantastic value for their lunch sets and very pleasant service! The restaurant has plenty of space and the food is high quality and tasty. I eat here quite often these days and they're consistently good. Plenty of free parking outside and very close to transit.
Had to go to Burnaby for work and went to Sushi Giwa for the first time in a few months. What immediately stood out to me was the new menu they just started. The new lunch deals are super affordable and I was amazed by the amount of food that came out. I got Box A for 8.95 and it had plenty of tempura, chicken (or beef) teriyaki, california roll, salad, sunomono, and gyoza. I stuffed myself with so much good food and my colleague said her Giwa Roll and Awesome Roll tasted delicious too. Looks like Sushi Giwa has really taken it up a notch and become the best in the city!
Food is really inexpensive and the rolls are great! I always get the Crazy Boy Roll when I visit. Interior is beautifully decorated and the service is friendly.
Great place to dine out with family. The ambiance is nice with a beautiful flower tree indoors and the food is just awesome. We stuffed our stomaches with the Dinner for Two Combo and the Unagi Don while not going over our budget. My family and I would definitely consider returning here regularly.
Sushi Giwa is relatively close to my old high school, but Sushi Town is usually my go-to sushi place in the area so I’ve only been to Sushi Giwa twice. They actually have 2 locations, one further down Hastings so don’t get them mixed up!. The interior is nice, quite roomy and there were pretty Sakura trees as decoration. They were able to accommodate 8 of us and I believe charged no gratuity fees.
Bought a medium party platter & bulgogi, the bulgogi was really well done, lots of veggies and the right amount of sauce. The sushi was also pretty good, not the best but definitely one of the better sushi places around North burnaby
would visit again
A reopened restaurant. The inside is spacious and inviting. The service was excellent, didn't need to ask for refill. The susshi was excellent and creative. Ordered the Awesome roll, Crunch Crunch roll and Spicy Salmon Sashimi - only complaint about the sashimi was the salmon needed to be thawed but the spicy level was good. Will visit again.
Sushi Giwa is affordable and like some other restaurants on Hastings, offers up large portions.
We had several rolls and donburis and noticed a trend - everything is heavily sauced. Whether it be a Mango Paradise Roll or a Spicy Salmon Don, there is a lot of sauce.
Also, the sushi rice in the donburis we had was hot which isn't a particularly good combo with sashimi.
While they have their flaws, the food was still enjoyable for us. I personally don't mind saucy food, but I can see how other people can be turned off by it.
We didn't notice the same issues with the sashimi as other patrons did so maybe they had fixed whatever was causing the problem.
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.

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.
Nice neighborhood sushi joint, that will definitely be added to one of my go-to's!
Decor inside was nice, portions were pretty good, and the sushi was tasty.
Awesome customer service, great sushi served fast! Nothing to complain about. They also have parking spots. We will definitely come back.
This is a go to sushi restaurant with my family 👨👩👧👦. It is spacious. Quality sushi 🍣 with reasonable price. Their bento box 🍱 is massive and can fill you with all the deliciousness yummmmmmmm 🤤😋🤤

We always order take-out and every time it is excellent! They have creative and tasty vegan options available. Price point and portion sizes are fair. The staff are pretty friendly. This place is a treat.
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!
