Sushi Den is not far from where I live. In Vancouver, we have two kinds of sushi: "normal sushi" and "fancy, expensive sushi." Sushi Den falls under the first category. It's inexpensive, the portions are large and the service is quick. It tastes great, too. I particularly enjoy their bento boxes and yam rolls.

After all the food above, we decided to get a filler to really hit it home. The Ten Zaru Soba came with 5 pieces of tempura (two prawns and one piece each of yam, sweet potato, and kabocha). We found the tempura quite greasy, but sufficiently juicy and crispy. The cold soba was refreshing, and the green onion and sesame seeds livened up the
After teaching an afternoon yoga class to friends, one of them suggested going to Sushi Den. It’s a small restaurant in the International Village and T&T neighbourhood. I ordered the Negitoro roll $3 which was pretty good. I also had the Pork Deep Fried Gyoza $5 (sorry no pic!) It was ok. I personally prefer the traditional Gyoza, just slight pan-fried on one side. The staff seemed to be Japanese, and the service was satisfactory.
Sushi Den is your average sushi. Super cheap and big portions. I could probably name better places, but if you are craving sushi, nearby, and dont want to spend alot of money. This is your place.
The thing to order here is the sashimi and also the Funky Roll. This is a good neighbourhood sushi place and consistent food quality and acceptable service. It can get super packed during dinner times so usually I go either earlier or much later. Everything else on the menu is standard.

Reliable neighbourhood joint.
This post isn't about the most authentic Japanese restaurant or the best sashimi in town. This city is plagued with "Vancouver specials", of which locals are spoiled by an abundance of sushi spots throughout the mainland.
Being local to this neighbourhood I've fulfilled numerous sushi cravings at Sushi Den, and I have to say that it meets my criteria for a go-to casual meal - it's consistent, convenient, reasonable, tasty and fresh.
Today I had the chirashi don and ten zaru soba. The chirashi has 14 pieces of various seafood including pink "maguro" tuna, "toro" tuna belly, "sake" salmon and sockeye salmon, not to mention a couple thick slices of sweet tomago.
The zaru soba is a nice and light yet filling compliment to the sashimi bowl. The cold soba noodles dipped in lightly seasoned and iced soy mixture are refreshing on a hot sunny day. The 5 piece tempura side dish heats up the meal and adds that crisp textural component.
Service today was a bit slow as we had a trainee server (he was wearing a badge that told me so!) so I was a bit forgiving. Fortunately the main dishes were cold so waiting for sharing plates, soy sauce dishes and tea refills weren't as much of an annoyance.
Overall another solid visit to the local Den and will I "go-to" another day? Absolutely!
Yummy. Never tried this place because Tsuki is a block away and so good. But went there the other night after work and then took my son a week later. Good, fresh sushi. And reasonably priced. The server was kind of rude about me having a stroller with me, but otherwise good experience. Surprised at the lack of positive reviews.
**EDIT - just went and read a bunch of reviews and not at all surprised to see how upset people were with the service. They definitely need to hire some new servers.
Amazing!. Fresh, well prepared and quite delicious. I will be back!
Very surprised at these negative reviews!! I am as white as they get & they've always been very friendly to me here. I love how all the ladies & the chefs greet you all at once when you come in! Of course they're friendlier to fellow Asians, but I am neither surprised, nor offended by this. It is my favorite sushi that I can think of in van for this price. It is definitely my go-to for Sushi in Van.
Fresh fish, large portions, pleasant staff. Been here before once or twice. Today for lunch, had spicy salmon combo (miso soup, spicy salmon sashimi, and spicy salmon roll). Tasty. Maybe more sweet than spicy, but most places like that. My friend had some kind of fried chicken (not karage, don't know what it was called) and liked it. Others had the usual veggie tempura and cali roll, all acceptable. Waitress was friendly and helpful, and the food came quickly enough (she was maybe just a bit eager to get us the cheque, maybe because end of her shift? But we didn't really feel rushed, so no complaint.) This is not a fancy place. Prices are reasonable and quality is good. I'll come here again. I have to smile walking into a sushi place and being greeted with "komapsumnida" :-)
Enjoy the food. While not a sushi lover I really enjoy their Bento boxes. There is a lot of food here and I have never had issue with their service. It's always been fast and efficient. Also their tempura is hot, fresh and plentiful.
I've been here a couple of times now and both times have been really happy with the food, service and price. The servers are always very nice, and food is brought out pretty quick. The bento boxes are the biggest portion sizes I've ever seen for a bento box! The atmosphere is really nice and calm, and the restaurant is nicely decorated and very clean, which I always find is an important factor in whether they have good customer service. I will definitely be going back regularly.
OMG, the OMG Roll! Crab, avocado, cucumber w shredded tempura yam on top! Yum!
Also got agedashi tofu which was lightly battered & fluffy - nicely done, but I like my agedashi tofu crispier.
Definitely a great find for a place I just walked into randomly & spontaneously off the street! Fresh, tasty, FAST & well made! All win. :)
Sushi paradise. Incredibly affordable and AMAZING food! Some of the best veggie sushi in the city. Great service and you get more food than you can eat for your money. Staff and chefs seem very dedicated and it shows in the food. This is absolutely my go-to sushi restaurant.
I've been here twice and it's always been good! You get a lot of food for a good price. The sushi tastes fresh and the service is fast!
Pretty decent sushi place.
Nothing to write home about but good for a quick sushi fix.
Average sushi joint.. With the opening of another sushi restaurant in Stadium. Sushi Den's goal seems to be aiming for a more sophisticated crowd, something that Kenti Zen and jokingly the T&T sushi place fails to deliver in. And yes it is another Korean run joint. Get used to that when new ones open.
The place offers more variety in it's special fish compared to the other joints near international village with much better quality to match. The combo menu itself has been proven to be moderately priced for it's value. Their donburi has more side fillers and somewhat generous in portions of sashimi.
It is pretty standard as far as sushi joints go, good if you want to sit for a lunch/dinner but it hardly stands out and will have more difficult if it was opened near Waterfront against places like Kita No Donburi and Sushi Bay Cafe.
When I was walking by this place on my way to cineplex, the large size of their dynamite roll caught my attention. Before the movie that my friend and I were watching were playing, we decided to grab dinner. I suggested Sushi Den because the portions were big and the prices on the menu seemed pretty reasonable. When we entered the restaurant, I noticed how small the venue was. There were only a handful of tables, but thankfully at 5:00pm on a Wednesday night, the place wasn't too busy so we were able to get a table with no wait. When it comes to the menu, there really isn't anything special that stood out. They have all of the classic things you would find at Japanese Restuarants. This includes the appetizers like gyoza, miso soup and main maki rolls such as California Rolls, Chicken Teriyaki Rolls, Vegetable rolls. They also have an assortment of Nigiri Sushi as well. I would say, judging by the menu, it seems like a good take out place. The prices of the maki rolls are also very rea
