D and I went to Take’s Sushi (pronounced TAH-KAY’S SUSHI), following a long day in the office. With some coworkers, you never want to see them after work, and with others, I don’t mind hanging out. I had never been, and apparently this is one of the best spots for sushi. Turns out that the rolls were amazing! The fish was very fresh, and there was a good ratio of rice to mayo to fish/fillings. I would absolutely return when the cravings for sushi kick in. The appetizers were decent, nothing special, so feel free to pass on those.

While Pokemon Catching, yes I'm one of those people walking all over town to find Pokemon, but not so crazy that I cause myself danger for it, we passed by Take Sushi and decided to grab some takeout. The place was quiet and with AC which was really nice since it was super hot out.
Service - The waitress didn't smile. Stared at me as if I'm odd. Didn't really feel welcomed.
Spicy Scallop Roll - Spicy sauce on top of a spicy scallop roll. Different kind of spicy sauce you usually get at other Japanese restaurants. Didn't really like the flavour.
California Roll - Delicious as usually. Lots crab meat with little amounts of avocado.
Dynamite Roll - Prawn was warmish hot. Probably just finished making them around 5-10minutes and waiting for dinner people to come around.
I been there long time ago and I found it taste better than sushi garden! Udon is nice especially the part about tempera. The sashimi is good too, I love the flavor in the middle of the plate.
We’re big fans of Take Sushi, located on Hastings Street in North Burnaby. I don’t think we’ve ever had anything bad here before.
One of their more popular dishes is the Tuna and Mango Salad mixed with avocado and cucumber. The avocado was perfectly ripe and the sauce really brings out the flavours of the fresh tuna and mango chunks. I actually prefer how they used to serve this on a glass plate instead of a white oval bowl.
We ordered some nigiri to go with our meal: Tamago, Unagi, Toro, and Chopped Scallop… again, all well-prepared.
The Spicy Agedashi Tofu are rather large with a crisp outer layer protecting the tofu on the inside. All of it is covered with their dreamy hot sauce which is more tangy than it is pungently hot.
We were already pretty full before the Nabenyaki Udon arrived but we just had to finish off the silky smooth udon noodles.
And, of course, one of my favourites is the Grilled Salmon Belly. I know it might seem excessively fatty and oily but I figure I spend enough on fish oil pills that I might as well enjoy the salmon belly.
Nice fresh big rolls with not too much rice. Service was good, sushi freshness and portions met our approval. Had to park at the dimsum place to pick up my food as the street was full. Prices were acceptable. I like the taste compared to the sushi places that are a few blocks closer to me (west of TAKE on same side of hastings.)
I really like the way the rice on the outside of the sushi rolls is. It's the right amount for me and tastes good. Tried the spicy tuna and scallop rolls, both great. Yakisoba is a very large portion for the price.
TAKE: Sets a High Standard. I eat at TAKE any time I'm in Burnaby (I miss LIVING in Burnaby, and doing that more often).
Because EVERYTHING at Take is a little bit better. The quality has been excellent always, the atmosphere is just right - and Jason the owner is a friendly classy guy!
Try it - and try the house-special "Take Roll" !!
BEST chicken teriyaki ever. My boyfriend and I are both chicken teriyaki fanatics. It is our favorite Japanese dish to eat!! We ended up going to Take Sushi completely by fluke because we were in the area. We were originally going to get food at a restaurant down the street but they were closed and so we ended up at Take instead. It was the best fluke ever because their chicken teriyaki is one of the best that we've had.
We like our chicken teriyaki crispy and deepfried. Not big fans of using chicken breast and like lots of sauce. Take's chicken teriyaki is deep fried to perfection each time. And the sauce that they use.. is perfectly sweet. It's SOOO GOOD!! You gotta try it!
Good tasty value. One of my pet peeves is sushi pieces that are too big. These guys make it just right. For me, this place has great quality and never disappoints.
Prices are fairly reasonable and the menu does have a lot of options. I decide to keep it simple, I order chicken teriyaki which was very good, it was served on cabbage, would've been nice to have a bit of bean sprouts in there. It came with some tempura which just all tastes the same to me everywhere i go now lol. The dynamite rolls it came with were probably somewhere around slightly above average. I also ordered some tuna nigiri sushi, the tuna was very fresh and had a bit of spicy sauce on it, very good. All washed down with free green tea!!! Mwahaha, next time ill get a beer like usual but I'm a budget lately, Everything above was only $12!
Dependably Delicious. Of all the Sushi spots in North Burnaby, and there are many to choose from, Take Sushi is the one I keep returning to. The food is always fresh and prepared to perfection. Even my kids, who are very picky, seem to love eating here. I particularly enjoy the seafood salad.
My one complaint about this place is the decor. It's not terrible, but long overdue for a fresh paint job and the outdoor signage could be better too. It just doesn't look all that inviting or attractive, but the quality of the meal more than makes up for this.
Order some takeout from their website today. It was very convenient and easy. It was ready for pick up in 20 mins...pretty quick! The sushi and sashimi were very good and fresh. Prices were reasonable as well.
Ordered via Fantuan delivery which was very prompt, arrived fresh tasting and efficiently in around 35 minutes on a late Saturday evening.
The Fantuan app has very low ratings for this joint, but don't be fooled it's super yummy, delicious infact. If you eat sushi often, you can appreciate this place is definetely a cut above the average sushi joints, very fresh authentic and natural flavorsome tasting and not at all salty. All of it was really yummy, great value and the Yam Tempura Rolls were definetely my favorite!
I love how they provide compostable and environmentally friendly packaging which is awesome!
Support local!
Had the vegetable udon and it was delicious. Perfect noodles, tasty broth, and a nice mix of seasonal vegetables. Service was very nice! Would definitely come back here.
Always consistently amazing food. Best sushi in Vancouver by far. I am a repeat customer. The service is also fantastic. When they once gave me the wrong roll in my takeout they quickly called to let me know and gave me the free replacement. I wish all the best for the people at Take and will continue to enjoy the rolls.
Good sushi spot to fill your craving. Enjoyed their spin of the pressed Aburi sushi 👌
