This place is an awesome gem in downtown New West (and up a steep road)! It's worth the climb. The cozy establishment seems to be a popular takeout place. We were the only ones dining in. Sushi is made to order and came within reasonable time. I was amazed by the amount or sushi in one order. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to finish but I surprised myself because they don't make their rolls huge by adding a thick layer of rice like many other sushi places. Their green tea was legit and their sashimi was fresh. Really nice staff too.
A couple of my friends and I were craving for some sushi so we checked out this relatively new Sushi place on 6th Street in New West. We got there on Friday just a few minutes past noon and the restaurant was rather quiet since they usually open at 11:30am. We were seated in a cozy corner giving us a good overview of the restaurant.
The best part of my meal was actually the Korean Fried Chicken with garlic soy ($8.90). These boneless chicken pieces had a nice crisp exterior which encased juicy pieces of chicken. It’s served with a side of crunchy pickled radish as well. I wonder if their chicken karaage is the made the same way?
I live quite close to this little sushi joint. Although my visits to this restaurant is due to proximity, I truly feel they serve great food.
Fish here is always fresh and flavours for all the rolls are on point. Instead of spreading themselves thin and suffering in food quality, they have kept their menu small and focused on freshness and quality of food. I've been here at least 10 times and have never been disappointed in food freshness and quality.
Pricing is good for the quality of product you get. Don't expect AYCE / sushi garden / sushi and roll's cheap sushi prices; I would say it is a couple dollars more than those places, but the gain in quality is quite worth it IMO.
I regularly visit places like Guu, hapa, octopus garden, miku. Although menu items are not as eclectic or diverse as these places, the freshness and quality of raw ingredients is on par with them.
Go try it!
Pretty Good. We were in New Westminster Aug. 21-23 and had a craving for sushi. I've eaten Sushi all over the world (trust me) and I am extremely picky about it.
We didn't want to drive anywhere, merely walk from our hotel (Inn at the Quay). After reading all the reviews about the other sushi restaurants within walking distance (they weren't good reviews), we finally took a chance on Sushi Yen. Well worth the extra 2 block walk.
The food was good. No reservations about going back in the future. Try their house salad, the dressing is awesome, and the salad was all very fresh and crispy. Tuna Tataki was perfect. If I had any complaints.... the Nigiri I ordered had too much rice underneath it. I like to be able to eat Nigiri in one bite, not forced to break it up in to smaller portions.
The restaurant is clean and the service was terrific! Well done for a new (3 months in business) restaurant.
Enjoy.
Best hotdog in town. Been there twice super awesome hot dogs better than Japadog. brought friend they said best hot dog they had.
went back today for my 3rd day in a row i love there food.
Fresh fish, carefully prepared, pretty decent prices.. Been here twice, food is consistent the two times I've been here. Fish was pretty fresh, sliced properly, and the "special" rolls were not overly sauced. Pretty good food, and price is very reasonable.
The food tasted fresh was fast and taste great.
You can tell its new because a bit slow but dot let that put you off, It's in new west and may take a bit of time for the locals to find it out. (even thou its at Columbia and 6th st)
Awesome food! Spicy salmon sashimi is delicious and the service is fast and very pleasant. Highly recommended!
