Review Sushi Town - Burnaby

Great and consistent sushi in Burnaby. We always get take out from here and today we dined in. Staff are friendly and the restaurant had plenty of seating for the 8 of us in our group.

We ordered 12 pieces of nigiri which are almost $4 a piece and they made it with either leftover rice or not fully cooked rice. The nigiri rice are dry and almost hard to chew on. Very disappointing!

We’ve had both dine in and ordered take out. Would say the sushi is decent and they have a pretty good selection for rolls. Not as fresh as expected for being in Vancouver, but still good. Take out isn’t the best but it’s expected with it sitting for a bit during transportation.

‼️2022 UPDATE: no longer worth it quality gone down, price went up more, portions reduced. Go to Sushi Giwa instead if you're in the area! ____ Before Covid pandemic review: I've been a regular customer here since 2013. The quality has improved over the years, however prices also have gone up quite a bit. Especially for the sashimi dishes... from $9.95 for 8pcs of salmon to now something like $13.95 The service here is never the greatest, but it's the amazing sushi and sashimi at affordable prices that always brings me back. It's a staple sushi restaurant among my friends and so much better than Sushi Garden. Definately a neighbourhood favourite! Update: visited again today, and noticed the new menu updates with photos of their popular choices. I added photos of the iy(hopefully they they get approved.)

Really fresh and amazing food. Very friendly staff and clean washrooms which is a sign of good management. I think they should serve their Miso soup a bit warmer. Other than that its a great restaurant.

Been coming here for awhile now. This place serves solid and fresh sushi. Their menu and food provided is very much like Sushi Garden's. The service I get here is pretty good and they refilled my tea after asking. Food came quick and served with a smile. Server also checked up on us while we were eating. I usually order the salmon sashimi which is cut very nicely with good sized portions. The taste is very fresh, light and chewy. The Awesome Roll is one of my favorite special rolls to get. It is a California roll with bonito flakes, seared salmon and drizzled with spicy mayo; the flavors really combine well with each other. The Alaska roll is yummy as well but does look a bit gross. The chopped scallop is a bit of a disappointment as isn't much flavor to the roll and the scallops are diced to tiny morsels. Other rolls I suggest is Bill's roll.

Sushi was good, however they substituted vegetarian gyoza we had ordered to pork gyoza without telling us (Vegetarian was crossed out on the takeout bill we noticed after). I understand substitutions may need to be made but I expect to be let know and asked if it is ok, in this case my partner can't eat pork and I don't like it. If they had checked with us we would have opted to not be charged for the wrong thing.

Impromptu farewell lunch for a friend. Place was pretty empty when we went ~ 5.30pm on a Saturday. Service: Adequate. Servers will take your order and serve you the food. If you want water or any drinks, you have to get their attention. They don't take initiative to check on you though there were three-four wait staff. Food: Delicious food. Rolls were slightly small as compared to places like Sushi Cali/Ginza and other Korean run sushi places. Ingredients were fresh which was good. Rice was packed well. (Refer to pictures) Was slightly disappointed as the rolls were not as filling as expected. Price: I had to order two sets. Approx $22 to be satiated. Would I come again? Probably. With more friends. But probably wouldn't tip as much. Barely any service, manage your expectations before going.

Always love going back here, they’ve got great sushi, always fresh and really really good prices too. Their staff is friendly too, so that adds to the place’s warmth!

This used to be a great place to eat. Our impression is that it has deteriorated while at the same time not as good value for money -- less food, poorer quality, higher price. Reports are out there of frequent food safety infractions! Many new places are out there so competition may encourage improvements.

Garbage - worst customer service experience I had in a very long time. Especially in today`s competitive food market where building a business and a brand should be focused on building clientele and repeat customers. I generally would not go to this extent (I had to create an account) to write a review but the attitude and condescending retaliation I received from this server was absolutely demeaning. The way he brushed off the situation has me fuming. <br/><br/>I hope management at Sushi Town take this review seriously and make the necessary changes to improve their front-end customer service because it is truly unfortunately, being a 10+ year customer, I will now be going else where. <br/><br/>Here is some free consulting recommendations (don`t worry I won`t bill you);<br/><br/>- Competent staff starts from hiring the right individuals - put in standards on the characteristics you are looking for in a server as a guideline to help.<br/>- Biggest weakness (or strength) is voice from the top - communication through building a culture that translates to happy customers will impact your top line and trickle down impacting positive profitability.

Food is pretty consistent - we have been coming here for years.  It's a good local joint that we enjoy coming to for take out. If you are eating in, I recommend you go earlier, especially if you have a larger party.

Portions were great and the pricing for the food was amazing (compared to back home anyways!) Service was friendly and prompt for the most part. Was only 4.5 because I felt the wait staff could have checked on our tea refills a bit more often (our tea was empty for 15 minutes with only two other tables occupied at the time). Would totally come here again though!

Forget to take pics! But food was great! Tried their couple of special rolls! Delicious! Sashimi was fresh, and the portion was good too! I'm not actually a sushi roll fan, but I love sashimi. This is why I keep going Sushi Garden because they have very good size of sashimi with fair price. Here Sushi Town, same size of portion in same price. Compared to Sushi garden, they have better service! From now on, I probably will skip Sushi Garden and come to this place!

Sushi Town has been around for as long as I can remember. As a Burnaby girl growing up, this restaurant was a staple for my friends and I. I feel that Sushi Town, Sushi California and Sushi Garden are all comparable in what they serve. However, from my perspective Sushi Town has hands down the best Spicy Tuna Don.

My son and I shared the Party Tray B, so I'm reviewing only the sushi. For the price the amount was impressive and the presentation was good. However, as soon as I had my first bite, I knew that something was missing: there was no detectable vinegar flavour in the sushi rice. Good sushi rice is the foundation of sushi and it doesn't matter what you do with the rest of the sushi, if you mess up the rice, it's a total failure. <br/><br/>I lived in Japan for more than 17 years and have had a wide range of quality of sushi both there and in Canada. This was easily the worst I've ever had.

I have been to this Sushi Town location on several occasions and I really enjoy the sushi here. Almost every time, we get the Salmon Sashimi along with the Philadelphia Roll (my boyfriend's favourite). Depending on how we feel, also the Prawn Tempura. The food is really good. I also like their Alaska Roll. We recently tried the Fantastic Roll and it was delicious!<br/><br/>Also worth mentioning, the Chicken Yaki Udon is good too (fairly large portions too)! Worth a stop if you're in the area and craving sushi!

Food is great very good quality sushi but falls short on service occasionally. They have  a small beer list and sake but no wine. Their food cries out for wine . They should consider letting people bring in wine for a corkage. It is perfectly legal in BC besides with a corkage they make a net gain without having to tie up their capital in wine.

Came here for some quick take out, Haven't been here in a long time. Sushi town and Sushi Garden is the same owner, Sushi town I find to be better (compared to lougheed location). I feel there is some love put in this restaurant unlike Sushi Garden which is thrown together like they don't care. When they spread and expand to much, quality has gone down and I can tell from when they first started. There is too many Sushi gardens and towns.

THEY SHOULD RENOVATE FOR SURE. Prices and foods are just perfect but compared to North Vancouver and Coquitlam they are small and I didn't like their atmosphere. Hope they renovate soon.

We went to Sushi Town on Hastings and Kensington for family dinner during a weekday. We order a lot of food but I was not able to eat fish that day so I ordered my veg. Udon and avocado roll and deep fried tofu without fish flakes. My veggie Udon was ok because it doesn't have much veggie but lots of udon. Deep fried tofu was good but I don't know somehow they put the tofu in the sauce so when I finished my Udon, the tofu was so salty. However, I love my avocado roll because it has a good amount of avocado. And the best thing is it is $3 or $3.50. Overall, the whole dinner for 7 people cost us about $70s and everyone was full. Service was efficient!! At 6:30pm the resto was almost full. My sister-in-law said this place does not take reservation on weekend. You have to reserve more than 2h prior to your desired arrival. Good value, efficient service. I can't say good quality because I hubby felt bloated after consuming some food during the visit. This might be due to cross contamination with raw fish. My hubby can't consume raw fish because it will give him stomach problem. But for my part, I felt ok. My tummy was happy with all the food.

Good food, bad service. The food is good and the price is very reasonable. But their service sucks. The waiters rush to you as soon as you arrive to get your order and be done with you. In the middle of the food they take soy sauce away without even asking you, because they want to get ready to close 1.5 hour before they closing time!!! And you ll be lucky if they come beck to fill your tea cups. I have been there so many times and find the waiters very rude, but as I said food is good, so I keep going back trying to ignore the service.

Bad Quality. I live in burnaby and I frequently make visits here for some sushi fix. Recently, the quality of the sashimi has been so horrible. I had a Tai nigiri sushi that was LUKEWARM, saba nigiri that wasn't even fresh and SUPER FISHY.. its like they left it in the fridge for 4 days and serve it because they don't want any wastage. Disgusting. I will probably not be back, seeing that there are other sushi places in my neighbourhood.

Visit every time I'm in town. Best value for sushi in town! I don't live in the province anymore but I make a point of visiting every time I'm in town. The salmon sashimi is amazing and thick. Love the alaska roll, mangodise roll, bc roll. The service is admittedly bad, but the food is so good that I don't even care.

I heart Sushi Town. Sushi town is easily my favorite sushi place in the Lower Mainland. Thankfully I live nearby, so when i get a sushi craving, it's not long before I have a happy Tummy. The food is uber fresh as it is always busy when I come for my sushi fix. The staff is super friendly and make sure to get guests seated as soon as possible even when busy, I come perhaps once a week or two and they remember my name. I highly recommend Sushi Town to friends and family and thought I would write a review while on their site. If you'll excuse me, I need to place my order! <br/><br/>Very happy Sushi Fan!

Good food, good service. I've been to eating at this location for the last few years. The food is always delicious and although this location is almost always busy, they still manage to get their food out in a reasonable time frame. If you're looking for cheap eats with good customer service, I highly recommend Sushi town on Hastings.

Uncooked sushi rice!!!. I ordered Assorted sushi and sashimi combo and one nigiri sushi. But sushi rice was uncooked. I called waitress and I asked about that. She already knew about that. but she didn't say sorry. She explained rice cooker was not good working. So She told me she can exchange sushi combo to noodles. I ordered seafood yakiudon. She took my dish ( I only eat 1 sushi and sashimi ) and she told me about charge of sashimi I could eat very salty Seafood yakiudon 10 minutes later. They charge 1 seafood yakisoba( same price of Sushi and Sashimi Combo , 4 $ of sashimi, 1 $ nigiri sushi !! Poor Service! Poor Food !! <br/><br/><br/>How Can they sell Uncooked rice Even they already Know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to start off by saying that I'm a very tolerant person when it comes to ordering food from restaurants. It takes a lot for me to complain or say something to a server.<br/><br/>Today I had one of the most horrible and inexcusable customer service experiences I've ever had in years. I will never go back there ever again based on the fact that (1) they screwed up my takeout order and I had to argue with them about it over the phone about it for 20 mins just to get them to agree to correct my order and (2) when I arrived at the restaurant and voiced my complaint and told them I just wanted my money back and I didn't want any food, they did nothing to try to retain my business. Bearing in mind that I ordered from them almost every weekend spending $30 each time.<br/><br/>I'm Chinese and know a lot about how things work at Asian restaurants. But the fact that, in the end, they said they would give me my correct order "just this once" like they were making an exception for me and doing me a favour because I had said the wrong item when ordering was the last straw for me.<br/><br/>Going back to Sushi Garden. They have bad customer there too but at least they get the orders right and don't treat their customers with such disrespect.

Good place :D. :) Not just because I live close by but really, I feel very satisfied anytime I visit (quite often!). <br/><br/>Menu option seems to be on the top list. Quality is really good and affordable for my budget. <br/><br/>I really like their spicy sashimi, very big portion!

The first time I went here I had an awful experience. It reeked of rotten fish so I decided to buy avocado rolls to be safe... They were rotten and mushy. Me and my roommates refer to them as "guacamole rolls". I think I ate two and then left. This was about a year ago. So, I heard they had new ownership and decided to try it again. I am currently staring at a box of guacamole rolls right now that I will definitely not be finishing. Thanks for helping me waste my money again, sushi town.

Used to be my favourite place for cheap and huge portion sushi until recently few visit....<br/>Sashimi are never fresh anymore, in the chirashi don, salmon was the only think that is ok, tuna are dark, soggy and fishy, tako is so soggy that it looks like got marinated! Shirmp is so tiny that you don't feel it in your mouth, the worst is the hamachi, I gave it up just it was close to stink!!! <br/>Chicken karaage is actually fried chicken wings (with bone) and it's not properly marinated (no taste) sushi town, please don't call it chicken karaage if you decide to just do a fried chicken wings instead of the real karaage!! (Boneless chicken bite)<br/>1 hour after I finish all the food, I was throwing up because I found out there are many fish scales in my mouth and throat, it's a was totally disgusting feeling that I experience, how do they prepare their fish, totally unacceptable!!<br/><br/>I was not able to make a complaint as all these was a take out!!! (I live very close to this place and I consume the good within 10 mins after I picked them up)<br/><br/>I feel sad and will not go back unless things change!!!!

Good Eats!. Ordered takeout for easy dinner tonight. Their Awesome rolls are really awesome! Sashimis are great too. Over happy with the order. Will definitely order again.

WORST PARTY TRAY. DO NOT buy there party trays. We were very excited students and decided to splurge on ourselves and get a tray to share so we went for party tray C, 34$. Now we were expecting a variety of flavours and delisciousness--however everything tasted the exact same! We got huge roles that were all 95% filled with cucumber! What a waste. We wish would could ask for our money back :( Very upsetting and disappointing service. We will now spend all our student splurges soley on the dependable goodness of mini eggs. :(

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. This company has no idea how to treat its customers. We wont be going back.

Good!. The sushi is good compare to it's price.

Fierce and Rude Service. This place is for you if you are willing to pay for a rude and fierce service. <br/><br/>...probably the worst customer experience I ever had in my life. The service was inflexible, arrogant and threatening.

Acceptable quality sushi, but GREAT VALUE (price-wise). Do not expect fine dinning quality and look sushi rolls here (sometimes the sushi are poorly rolled that the rice even falls down before eating), but SUshi town does offer very good VALUE in price. <br/><br/>The Party Tray A , for approx. $20 and you get 40 pc sushi. very good deal.<br/><br/>The other SUShi town location (North Vancouver) is a bit more expensive than the north burnaby one.

Good cheap sushi. If you like good, cheap sushi, this place is for you. Don't go for the service because you won't get it. Like most asian places, you need to yell and put your hand up if you need something. I like fancy sushi places with nice rolls too but find you pay for the presentation. Here you just pay for the food. Get take out and enjoy it at home. It's always packed in here so getting a table is hard during busy times.

TERRIBLE SERVICE - GO TO GAYA SUSHI. Walked in, they sat me in a corner. Restaurant practically empty and I sat there 10 mins, with only a cup of tea. Unacceptable, I walked out. Gaya Sushi, which is only 5 mins from this place (Bainbridge & Lougheed) is top notch. Clean, fresh, superb.....even better than Sushi Garden.

Worst sushi in the GVRD. If you like mushy and unusual roles made with poor quality ingredients, this is the sushi place for you. We live less than a block from Sushi town and initially, as sushi fans, we were pleased and ate there often. But time after time we were less than impressed and even felt nauseous. We vowed never to eat there again and will drive any distance for to get sushi somewhere else. The tempura is always good. but the roles are TERRIBLE. Every single one we've tried. We usually like some common roles like california, spicy tuna, alaska, yam or avocado. But in all their roles they add extra ingredients, use too much mayo or other sauces, and sometimes mash ingredients together, so that all of their roles are mushy with a paste-like texture. For example, I usually love avodaco in sushi but they use excessively large slices of overripe (brown) avocado and it turns the whole role into a soapy slop. I have never had sushi like this anywhere else. I have no idea why this restaurant is constantly overflowing with people. From my experience it is by far the worst sushi in the Greater Vancouver Area.

I've been a frequent diner at Sushi Town for the past year and I can honestly say their food is quite delicious and probably the best in North Burnaby. The services however is terrible. The wait for your order to be taken is ridiculous even when the restaurant is at half capacity. Even when you do flag down a waitress she begins servin people who have sat down after you. Nowadays I avoid dining in here as often as possible. Take out from here is definitely the way to go.

Quantity > quality. This beats the other places, on taste, service, authenticity

I kind of like it. Food was not too bad...compared to the rate...It was a nice pick...<br/>I don't like the location through...<br/><br/>It is not easy for me to find the restaurant...

YUMMY!. Good customer service and very sanitary. I go to Sushi Town a lot for their spicy salmon and tuna sashimi. The sashimi is very fresh and the sauce goes well with the sashimi. My girlfriend loves their terriyaki chicken roll, since she doesn't eat raw food and barely any sushi.

Horrible service, food is nothing special. Very cheaply made, imitation crab used. Wouldn't come back.

Bad bad bad service !!!. I have eaten at this place a few times before and it is generally not bad, I did have a bad experience once with freezer burnt scallops, I brought it to the servers attention and she just shrugged her shoulders. I thought ok, um so much for quality today. But after last night experience, I will never go back. I had placed my order with my other 2 diners, with this tall young guy. I was really looking forward to my dinner, first thing I noticed was they never set are table up, no chopstick, dishes, napkins, we had to ask. I also noticed that I was done drinking my water and there was no sign of anybody topping it up, I was thirsty, I had to ask for more water. When my co diners got there dinner, I waited still, they were both almost done there food, I still waited. I asked the girl that brought the food, if mine was still coming, I had to explain to her what I ordered. She sead ok I will check. In the meantime I was looking for my original server, tall young guy. When they brought one of the other diners take out food, I was starting to get pissed, where is mine ??? She came back with half my order, I was hungry I ate it quick. She came by with the second half and it was all wrong. When the tall young guy re surfaced at the table, I looked at him and told him this is wrong, he asked me what I ordered. I told him again, by this point everybody else was done eating, I was PISSED !!! I wanted to walk out of there, but I finally got the rest of my order, I felt rushed at this point, not happy not in a good mood at all. They seem to fail in taking any recognition of what happened. I dont think they deserve any more of my money, no tip, not for bad service. Never again will I be back !!!!!!!!!!!!

Really Bad Service. I agree with the service comments. Been here many times but the service is the worst ever.........<br/>The unagi is so chewy it is inedible! <br/>Prediction. This place will inevitably get greedy, raise its prices and it will promptly go out of business!<br/><br/><br/>-----10 Aug, 2012-----<br/><br/>Worst Service on the Planet. Sushi Town North Vancouver resonable prices, but the WORST SERVICE I have ever experienced. They do not have sections so nobody knows who is taking orders and which tables need service. You could sit there for ten minutes in an empty restaurant before they ask if you want to order! Then they bring the food - a bit here and a bit there. I asked for my order to arrive at the same time and they said not possible! Why I asked? Because they have different sections in the kitchen!!!!! Why they can't time a ticket I don't know, especially with cold food!!! I suppose when he takes his girlfriend to a restaurant and she orders a salad and he a steak, he expects to watch her finish her salad before his steak arrives!!!!! I have been there quite a few times but the service has gone from bad to diabollical and I am at the point I would rather go somewhere else and pay a little more. Another gripe is they have quite a cool bar which is never used. It is loaded used as a store room with boxes and supplies piled high and on one occasion when they were full rather than offer their waiting customers an opportunity to order a drink at the bar (more profits to boot) they insisted that we wait at the door! I have never seen such bad management and service as this place. Too bad cause it could be a cool little joint if they understood basic systems and service......

This restaurant was busy, even on a Thursday evening. They were busy with lots of take out orders, and lots of customers inside. Their salmon sashimi pieces are cut into big portions. The noodles in their seafood udon were QQ (al dente) and the broth was tasty enough. The rolls we had (spicy chopper scallop, mangodise, fantastic roll) were presented nicely with an added flare, however, the rolls were not tightly rolled enough so that when you tried to pick it up with your chopsticks, it just fell apart. This is quite a pet peeve of ours- rolls should be able to hold their shape. Apart from their look, the rolls had their own flavors, but nothing special stood out. The Fish-o-fillet roll tasted like the fish-o-fillet from McDonald's. One thing that was rather annoying about the service was that every time a waitress brought one of our orders over, they would ask in a confused tone whether or not we had ordered the item. It felt as if the restaurant was not very organized. Other than that, it was good and cheap.

Cheap food cheap quality. Would never eat here again! nothing wrong with it,just poor quality and not a clean restaurant.

Good sushi , terrible service ... ):

This place has good and bad aspects. I like this place for nigiri, but I find the rolls kind of gross. I think the most important thing is that the fish is fresh and tasty. It is almost always busy, which probably helps with the freshness of the fish. It is also quite well priced. The portions are big, which could be seen as a good or bad things. I personally do not like huge rolls. You can see that the food is being put together in a sort of production line kind of way, and the messy cuts and sloppy rolls reflect that.

Cookie Cutter. Like half of the sushi spots around town, not super fresh but still tastes good. Well service is quick, the place was packed, all sure signs of a good meal most likely to come. We had miso soup which by the way had zero tofu in it and like 2 small pieces of green onion. The mangodise roll was very good however, it had a nice sweet sauce that complimented the mango inside the imitation crab wrapped sushi roll, however still super tasty. The dynamite roll was OK, and the tuna tempura roll was not so good, the tuna was completely cooked which was way out of left field. The gyoza was good and the prawn tempura was also good. But still, can I click "like it" when I feel I just ate at another cookie cutter sushi spot?

Awesome Roll. Best for take out sushi.<br/><br/>My Faves: Salmon sashimi, AWESOME roll and the Gomae

For people with a poor taste in sushi.. Like fishy smelling sushi? This place is for you.<br/>Like huge portions? This place is for you.<br/>Like Bad service? This place is for you.<br/>Need something quick for take out? This place is for you if you dont mind the above.<br/><br/>Plus it smells bad in there. And dont even think about using their washroom................

The service was prompt, and the tuna and salmon sashimi was good. Greasiest tempura ever, although it was tasty. The rolls, however, were about the size of hockey pucks and fell apart as soon as you picked them up. As previous reviewers have stated, it is certainly a case of quantity over quality.

North American Sushi: think supersize and extra value meal. Quantity not quality.

We love Sushi town, we live a block away and eat there at least once a week. Yes the burnaby location is small and old, but they serve the freshest tuna in town, and the prices can't be beat.

This place is over hyped! i heard good things abt this place but their sushi isnt good at all. the rice is of poor quality. service, however, is good!

BAD SPIDER ROLL. I hate the fishy taste and smell from the spider rolls here,<br/>first i thought it was a particular sushi man that made bad rolls,<br/>So the second time i went there i ordered it again and it was worse. <br/>I personally think they;re not using good soft shell crabs, or their method of preservation is retarded

So as far what u get for u money goes this place is good , as far as 3 dollar rolls and 1.25 miso but restaurant it self smelt like stinky fish as did the role . besides that food was ok and totally cheap.

It was decent. The sushi rolls were huge so if you are asking for quantity over quality.. then this is an awesome place to go to. As for quaility, the rolls did not stay well together and tend to fall apart before you could even place it in the mouth. Service was kinda slow though... Even asking for water, took quite a few tries. The restaurant is not very spacious, so for those that are skinny... good choice of atmosphere. My advice: if you go, only order one roll or sashimi... since the pieces are huge.

Consistently good takeout. I get takeout from Sushi Town about once a month, and they never disappoint. Pretty consistent quality and good value for your money.<br/><br/>The Alaska Roll with the miso paste is tasty.

Horrible Service!. Last time I was there, I asked for a table. They put me by the door. I asked for the table in the back, they wouldn't give it to me. I asked them if I could have the table further inside the restaurant, they said "just sit there"!<br/><br/>They didn't take my dishes away when I was finished. Instead, they stacked food on top of my dirty dishes. Who does that? In the end, I wasn't even finished, and the came and cleared my table and gave me the bill. Will boycott this place.

I'm always here. Seriously. At least once a month. Sometimes I'm here three days a week. Must tries are: Alaska roll, awesome rolls, salmon sashimi and spicy salmon sashimi. Those who know me on twitter must be tired of hearing me saying how much I love this place haha! One of my favourite quick sushi joint!

Neighbourhood & Student Favourite. Good value when considering the portions and the prices are great for students who come here for lunch. Quality-wise, it's nothing special but you get what you pay for.<br/>Would recommend their spicy tuna sashimi, I really like how they added gochujang.

Smelly!!!!. I don't like the overwhelming smell of fish outside this place, as well as inside. It makes me feel like it's not as fresh as it should be. I have done take-out once and tried to eat in once -- neither experience was good.

Rolls!. I have been going to Sushi Town on a semi-regular basis for a while now. It's a great place to get take-out as their service is efficient. One thing I'd like to point out for you sushi roll-lovers out there: ST's rolls are not that great, as they often fall apart when you pick them up with chopsticks. They taste fine, but maybe because they are in such a rush they don't spend that much time on this. <br/><br/>Sushi Town, if you are reading this, please improve!! :)

We were there tonight around 7:30 and it was busy but not jam packed. It was about a 5-7 minute wait but when we were seated and ordered, food started arriving within minutes. Frankly we shocked at how fast the first plate of sashimi came and the rest of our order came soon after. The food was of course delicious and the kids quickly gobbled up their share while me and mommy did clean up duty (finish off what the kids don't eat) but with all the great sushi, we happily performed our parental duty.

Best Sushi period. I know the service is slow, but the place is small and very popular so that comes with the popularity of the place.<br/>We order the tray A when we go, it is 42 pieces of sushi. We love the place and it is the only place we go for sushi. The sashimi is also very good.

Well worth the wait. I went on a Friday night and they don't take reservations, so we had to stand outside for almost half an hour. The food was well worth the wait though. When I go to a new Sushi place for the first time I always order a few things they all serve so I can judge how they stack up more easily. I always order miso soup, a BC roll and some basic sushi and sashimi. The miso soup, sushi and sashimi were excellent. The BC roll was a bit heavy on the veggies and very light on the BBQ salmon skin. All in all well worth the wait. I will return to try more.

Just okay. I had the BC roll combo today, which came with BC rolls, salmon, tuna, and ebi. I have to admit, the sashimi on the sushi was huge! It completely covered the rice... However the taste of it was okay, but not very fresh I thought. The BC roll was just weird, it was so unevenly cut that I had one piece that was triple the size of the other piece!

Good food mediocre service. The food is tasty and pretty cheap. Where this place doesn't make the grade for me is in service speed and odd memory problems the servers seem to have. Every time I go there they forget at least one dish and I have to make sure it's not on the bill when I go to pay. On top of that it's pretty slow, though that could be because the place is always busy. It's worth a try if you live in the area and want some good sushi. I just go down the street to a different place that gets my orders right.

Sushi Heaven.... Sushi Town is a packed and busy little Japanese restaurant. It's sushi is delicious and different, there are the traditional California Rolls, Dynamite Rolls and Miso soups; but they also have many self creations such as my personal favvourite: Awesome Roll. Their service is fast and friendly making Sushi Town one of my favourite Japanese cuisines. If you want to eat some breath taking sushi, this place is worth the wait!!

One of their most popular dishes in Sushi Town: Awesome Roll ($6.95).  California roll topped with Salmon, Masago, green onion and Bonito. What make it so special was their sauces and Bonito. It’s a must at Sushi Town and it’s Awesome! Salmon Sashimi (9 pcs – $8.95) was fat, thick and fresh. Toro Nigiri ($1.35 each). Toro is the fattest part of Tuna and tastes completely different from regular red tuna. It melts in your mouth like heaven. They always ran out of Toro at night so get there early and they might even give you a thicker piece. We can’t get enough of Toro Nigiri so here’s a big plate of Toro sashimi ($ 9.95). Behind that it’s beef Teriyaki with a bowl of Rice ($ 7.95). I was not very impressed by their Assorted Sushi ($11.50) after the Toro Nigiri and super thick S

I discovered Sushi Town on Hastings as an inexpensive, decent alternative to SFU campus food 3 years ago and since then, I have been there so many times I lost count. It is a very popular restaurant which regularly experiences wait times (despite its rather odd location and run-down appearance from the outside) and is especially frequented by SFU students. On the other hand, they have enough chefs working at the sushi bar so that everything comes out in a minimal amount of time.

I had the Spicy Salmon and Tuna don, which is my go to dish when it comes to Sushi Town. I like it because they give you big chunks of salmon and tuna topped with this hot sauce that is hot yet a little sweet. As you can see, the spicy salmon and tuna don is another big portion. Overall, this was good but they kind of slapped on waaay too much sauce. There was literally a puddle of sauce afterwords.<br/>Conclusion

It took our server 30 minutes just to bring us tea and I asked her for it at least 3 times before she finally got it for us. Anyways, I got the dynamite roll ($3.95) and wakame salad ($3.50) because I wasn’t too hungry. They were both pretty average in the way they tasted…so nothing too worth honorably mentioning. Since I was already at sushi town and mother deer didn’t want to cook dinner, she told me to order take out. I chose to get the beef terriyaki ($7.95), mangodise roll ($4.95) and party tray C ($35) which comes with 3 nigiris of chopped scallop, salmon, tuna, ebi, and masago, along with a california roll, dynamite roll, chopped scallo

Complaints aside, the food is good and Sushi Town is relatively cheap and satisfying for what you get. You know what they say about a busy restaurant.

 A place with huge sushi and low price!    The above is chopped scallop nigiri and ikura nigiri.  My fave nigiri. This is toro sashimi.  It's like a tuna steak in my opinion.  I can't say it's good, but I've had a lot worse in Hong Kong that's multiple of the price here.  So, it's not bad.  I personally don't like giant sashimi.  It gives me the impression of eating a whole fish live...it kind of disgust me.   Just the image disgust me, not the taste or the quality of the food.  If you like your sashimi in an giant form, then this place is for you. Again, giant salmon sashimi.  When I bit into it, it felt like I was biting into a live whole fish.  I had to cut it up into smaller bite sizes before I can eat it. They have lots of specialty rolls!  The following is the Alaska roll.  The mush on top is their special sauce.  I know that it may look mushy and not so appetizing, but it tastes great~ This is the double dragon roll.  The top is unagi and the

Sushi Town can’t compare with the high-end places, obviously, but it’s fine for what it is: a cheap neighbourhood sushi joint.

Sushi Town is very similar to Sushi Garden, with cheap prices and large portions. We shared the Spicy Salmon Sashimi , which is one of their popular dishes. Loads of salmon sashimi cut into cubes with a spicy sauce. I love the mix of cucumber cubes in it as well. A good deal! Chopped Scallop Roll I chose the Chopped Scallop Roll . It was filled with lots of scallop, but I wouldn’t say it was that great. The rice was falling apart and the flavour wasn’t the best I’ve had. But for the price, you get filled up if

I recently made a trip to Sushi Town in Burnaby for a quick dinner before school. Sushi Town has four locations around Metro Vancouver in Burnaby, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, and Surrey. Sushi Town is known for their cheap food and large portions and as a result, they are popular with students in the area. The outside looks a little run down, but it’s not bad inside. I’ve heard good things about their spicy sashimi, so I went with the spicy salmon sashimi don ($9.50). I was shocked at how much sashimi is actually in the bowl. The portion was so large I couldn’t completely finish it (and that’s saying something). I was impressed with the salmon for how cheap it was. It tasted very fresh and it was melt in your mouth tender. The spicy sauce had some heat to it and I loved the bold flavour of it. Along with the salmon, there were also chunks of cucumber and green onions topping the dish, which added a contrasting crunchy texture to the tender salmon. Beneath the massive pile of salmon was

Spicy salmon sashimi recommended...Student food-do not expect anything top-quality

I have seriously never considered setting foot in there because the exterior looks horrible . It looks like a really run down place that I would NOT trust with my raw fish. The windows are hazy and not made of glass; the window blinds look kinda old and probably dusty; it's dark inside, which means I won't be able to look around for any signs of uncleanliness. But, everytime I went to Pho 101, there would always be people entering or leaving Sushi Town. Last time I actually ended up following someone that came out of Sushi Town holding take out and bringing them back to SFU. Curious, I checked Urbanspoon and no one said anything about the sanitary conditions, so we decided to give it a shot. Ironically, after all my complaining, you won't get to see how the front looks like because I forgot to take a picture of the exterior. Haha. I took one when we were going down Hastings Stree

All-in-all we were quite impressed of the quality for the price we paid. My parents immediate scrapped the “all-you-can-eat” dinner we had planned saying this was much better deal – and I agree.

Sushi Town consistently delivers tasty food and you can count on it to fill you up without breaking the wallet.

I always came here in high school since it was less than a block away. For a student, it is the perfect place to eat for cheap. Ever since M kept getting very sick after eating here… we knew that something wasn't right. He didn't just get sick once or twice, but three times. Later on we found out some of the chefs do not wash their hands after smoking and/or going to the washroom. I am sure this happens at other restaurants as well, but it's just kinda gross when you know about it. Since I was kinda sick of campus food and BusanGirl insisted we go here for Alaska rolls, I agreed. It is a fact they have some damn good Alaska rolls. We arrived at noon on a weekday and it was slightly busy. My greatest fear of Sushi Town is the scary machine that hangs above the back table. Their menu layout has changed too. BusanGirl had the chicken teriyaki ($7.95). It has bean sprouts, broccoli, carrots, chicken and teriyaki sauce. You also get a bowl of rice too. She said she liked it. The chicken w

just last week after our miracle web meeting, we decided to head to sushi town to have dinner since it is close to the office.

This is one of those sushi restaurants run by Koreans. They've got an assortment of unique rolls, all quite good. Good flavours.

I'm never in this part of Burnaby, simply because it's so far, but since we were a block away running the Season 12 VDL Skills Clinic , Jeff chose Sushi Town as our meal after. I suggested Burgers Etc. BBQ House , but I guess that'll have to wait for another time. We actually had come from The Mac Shack Grand Opening all the way in Kerrisdale. Far! Like the very busy Sushi Garden located on Kingsway across from Metrotown, Sushi Town is also run by Koreans. To be quite honest, I don't really care for what ethnicity makes my food, so long as it's right, just like Sherman says.. Besides, they're close enough. Just joking. Jeff took charge of the ordering, asking for occasional input. Some Tuna Nigiri ($1/piece) for everyone. Some Chopped Scallop Roll ($3.75) always seems to find its way to the table. At least it's better than someone ordering California Roll. Why people are willing to pay to eat such boring filler food is beyond me… This we actual

Hit up this place at about 3pm today (Sunday) for some shade and nourishment while helping A move. It is your typical inexpensive strip-mall sushi place – with one exception: huge portions. The service was ridiculously fast – we had all our food within ab
