3.5 stars.
Customer service was excellent. Servers were friendly and polite. They always checked on our needs at our table. We really appreciated it.
We made reservation a few days ago, so we had no problem getting a table although we had 10 people. The parking lot outside the restaurant is big, so there are a plenty of parking stalls. No problem with parking at all
I visited Sushi Aria on Cambie Street in Vancouver. The food was quite good there, so I expected the food at this branch in Richmond would be good as well. However, the food here turned out okay only. My table had ordered quite a lot of food such as salmon sashimi, katsu don, pork belly don, salmon Oshi sushi, hotate (scallops) Oshi sushi, Alaska roll, and etc. The quality of some of the food was good. However, the oshi sushi fell apart when I tried to pick it up on the plate.
One little reminder about their chopsticks. They were the disposable wooden ones. Once we had to split the pair of chopsticks into half, the wood on the chopsticks had a lot of little sticks that poked out on the top part. Be careful when you are using the chopsticks. A little wood stick poked into the skin of my hand that made me super uncomfortable. Not sure if the quality of the disposable wooden chopsticks was too cheap or having a bad quality.
Overall, eating at this restaurant was okay. If you were looking for cheap Japanese food and did not look for high quality of food, you could come here. It is good enough in this neighbourhood.

This newly renovated restaurant was previously Shikisai. They also have a location on Cambie and King Edward St. Cozy space that accommodates about 40 people. Service was friendly and attentive. Server made sure our tea was topped up and checked in several times.
Food was pretty good. Sashimi was fresh and hot food came hot. They focus on presentation a bit as well. Our chicken yaki udon came in a large serving bowl but portion seemed small for $9. Salmon Oishi sushi was tasty. Tempura had a light batter and was freshly fried. Aria Tower was light and refreshing..could add a little more dressing though. Had to grab some take out as well and the server threw in a free miso soup..that was a great gesture.
Ample parking...will be a great go to close to home!
My go to sushi spot, fresh ingredients especially seafood. Always get takeout here, crunchy Awesome rolls, poke bowl and sashimi are my favourite. Ten out of ten times I can get fresh salmon sashimi, just coz how I passionately love salmon, so the texture and freshness is instant 👌🏼
Good sushi overall! It's not mind-blowing, but what you would expect from other k-sushi places, so it's a reliable good quality/amount for what you pay. Ingredients were fresh and rice was cooked well.
Dine in experience was good. Tables are socially distanced and staff sanitized them between groups. The staff were friendly and attentive. At the end it was a bit hard to catch them to pay so we just went to the front. There were only 2 staff on the floor as it got busy for dinner time so I would just chalk that up to being understaffed.
If in the area this is an excellent sushi restaurant. Food is fresh and well presented. For the past few visits it takes about 30 minutes to prepare an order. Ample free parking within Garden City Mall. They have an easy to use online ordering system that has up to date pricing and photos of each item. Not so great paper take out menu is a black and white photocopy of text only.
Surprise for their food😋Sushi rolls and Salmon don are delicious! Will come again!
I am surprised this place isn't over 4stars. The food quality is up to standard, worth a 4-star, at least for the items we v tried so far (various rolls, tempura, sashimi). I gave a five-star over all because of the good price, quantity and service.
We LOVE their SPECIAL SAUCE on Alaska rolls! Sooo good! We tried both dine in and take out. Their staff are nice. Even though the waiting time for take out is on the long side, but they noticed you ahead, so not a big issue.
One suggestion is that hope they put more descriptions and Photos on the on line order site.
