On a warm spring Friday evening, being out of fresh ingredients, I decided to head out to grab some dinner. My dinner companion suggested a sushi place way out in the Alma area of West Broadway, called Greenleaf Sushi. I’d driven past this place many times over the years, but never thought to try it until now. It was a busy little place when we arrived, and scored the last table in the house.
I love this place for oshi pressed sushi! The restaurant is quite small and always have a line up. But worth the wait. My husband and I we usually order their oshi platter that has six different types of oshi and let’s just say, that first bite is always so satisfying. Definitely recommend!
Tasty Japanese food!
The tempura snapper was beautifully battered & fried. Crispy coating with a soft moist flaky snapper.
The OMG roll lives up to its name with big pieces of the roll sliced up & covered in wasabi mayo and spicy mayo. The tempura salmon is deliciously paired with the avocado & crab mix. The outside shell was crispy.
The kani-ume oshi sushi finished off with deep fried capers as a whole had that blow torch flavour. On its own a delicious dish.
My recommendation- the oshi sushi.
This is a cute little restaurant that is just one short bus ride from UBC. Whilst the restaurant is not very big, it feels very welcoming. The food is on the pricey side, I rated it a 4 rather than a 5. They serve both tea and lemon infused water.
I think it's worth occasionally as the pressed Oshi sushi tastes amazing. I ordered the pork Chazu oshi and the salmon rolls. The salmon rolls are 6 tiny pieces of sushi, which are very small and taste very average.
As I thoroughly enjoyed the Oshi, I would definitely recommend trying this place out! :)
Green Leaf Sushi has been on my radar for awhile now, but recently, I started to deliver for Doordash and I was fortunate enough to have a couple of deliveries from them. As I waited for the order, I took in the smell and presentation of the food. I knew that I needed to try the food as soon as I could.
I Have been there for several time. Very small place so maybe need to wait for the table. More cheaper than Miku, with almost the same sushi.
I heard it is a "downsizing miku". I ordered a delivery food, the potion is smaller than Miku (also the price is fare). It is hard to say if i like the food or not, consider of the food was cold at the time when I ate. I would suggest you go there in person, and eat the aburi sushi right away for the best taste.
Was able to stop by and got a seat on a Friday night, v as the place was quite full. Ordered the chasu don, tamanaga roll, and house special roll. The sushi rolls were quite good,b especially the unagi. The chasu don was also fantastic, especially the chasu. Portions are small, just to set your expectation.
Green Leaf Sushi has been on my must visit list for quite some time after seeing countless pics of their aburi oshi sushi. We finally found ourselves in the area after first hitting the UBC Botanical Garden Tree Walk and came for a late lunch. While the restaurant was still fairly busy, we did manage to find a table right away.
Friendly service and great food.
Our most favourite dish at this place is the OMG roll. We often find things that are overrated, but this roll definitely stands out!
