One of the most authentic and highest quality Japanese eateries in the city. I have dined in this restaurant dozens of times, for occasions of all kinds, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. I now live in Japan, and can say that the food at Kibune rivals the very best in all of Japan, and the service is even better.

A small Japanese restaurant in Kits. We were surprised to see not many choices of Nigriri sushi on the menu. However, we later figured that they have it on the Japanese menu behind the chef.
We have ordered Aji sashimi and two deluxe sushi combo. The fish were pretty fresh. We wouldn't mind coming back when we are in the area next time.

Kibune Sushi is located right by Kitsilano beach. Though it isn’t very big, the place is easy to spot; just look for the oriental-looking storefront with a Japanese sign. This cozy little restaurant gave off a very traditional/authentic vibe. They were quite understaffed, as on several occasion during dinner, it took several attempts to get the attention of our servers. In terms of price, the food here is on the expensive side of the spectrum. We’d like to believe that it is due to the quality of the cooking, and to a certain extent, the neighbourhood in which this restaurant is situated.

For our dinner for two, we ordered the following items:

Miso marinated sablefish ($14)

Ocean maki ($7.50)

Osashimi dinner ($25)

Miso-marinated Sablefish
We really like to order sablefish, and this one didn't disappoint! The fish was very buttery, and the miso taste is strong but not overpowering. We thought the cherry orange (?) was a good substitute for a lemon wedge. It gave the dish a even greater depth of flavour.

Ocean Maki is supposedly one of Kibune's original creations. The sushi roll contained tobiko, avocado, cucumber, and hamachi (yellow-tail). These were devoured pretty quickly :P Considering the fish, $7.50 was a decent price.

Osashimi dinner
You get a little bit of everything - miso soup, spinach goma-ae, shrimp sunomono, assorted tempura, assorted sashimi, and dessert (fruits or ice cream).

Every component (ok maybe that not the ice cream), was prepared with delicacy. Soup was hot and flavourful. Salads were refreshing, and not drenched in sauce. Tempura (prawn, carrot, green bean, and pumpkin) were lightly battered and crisp.

Our boat was loaded with 13 slices of sashimi: tuna, wild salmon, hokkigai, octopus, tai, and hamachi (yay!). These were high quality sashimi, as we could really taste the distinct flavours of each fish. Even the hokkigai and tako (typically bland and chewy in most other places) had great flavours and textures.

May 14, 2016 · by ThatShanghaiGirl · Decided to come here for Mother’s day last minute when everywhere else was booked full. I wouldn’t say it was a bad decision, but I did get worried when I first stepped in.

After all these years (over a decade) in Vancouver, I don’t know how I could have missed this place! Kibune Sushi opened its doors at this original location on Canada Day, July 1st 1982!. Even when I was walking towards the entrance, it gave me a feeling of home… some little sushi place in the neighbourhood where I grew up as a child.

Authentic Japanese experience in a boutique restaurant.

We ordered the sashimi special and roast beef in ginger teriyaki sauce. Portions are a but smaller than what you would normally expect, but you could taste the difference in the food.

Really good sushi! Not much for combination assortments of Sushi and sashimi in the same dish, but delicious nonetheless.

It's a nice little sushi house. Nice service, nice food. Bathroom not clean, and is small. Sashimi was very fresh. Maki had some interesting flavours I had not experienced before. 7/10

Whimsical But Traditional. Their cheerful staff makes the contemporary local crowd feel at home in a dining room filled with West Coast-y interior. At the busy sushi bar, chefs create impressive platters of sashimi, occasionally apologizing for a less than perfect toro that is nonetheless much better quality than what we are used to consuming at many Robson sushi bars. A salad of spinach and enoki mushrooms is redolent of sesame oil, and yellowtail carpaccio is drizzled with red pepper-ponzu sauce. One can ask for his/her usual here, but Uni Tempura and the grilled sea bass with Saikyo miso are more interesting. Whimsical but traditional menu will keep many end up staying for late drinks.
