Bay Sushi Cafe Express is located on Seymour St, Vancouver Downtown. The location is right across the street from Granville Skytrain Station and The Bay. It is a small restaurant and there are only couple tables there. There are many people having lunch and dinner at this small restaurants. Some of them even took the food to go. I’ve been to this place for lunch couple times. The first impression of this restaurant is that it always has a huge lineup waiting for order the food. The second impression is the food comes out very fast. When I came here for lunch, the food was always fresh and well cooked. The prices of the food were also cheaper with the large portion. It is a great Japanese fast food restaurant.
This was my second time here, first time was probably 5 years ago. I order 2 dynamite rolls. They were huge! The first one had cold prawn tempura in it but the second one had a fresh hot one. Wish there was more consistency because i prefer the fresh hot one. Also got the mango roll which was delicious and very fresh! Will go back to try again when I'm in the area.
Now working at Downtown Vancouver & therefore I have many chances to explore around during lunch time.
Recommended by some colleagues, I've already visited the place twice in a week. Super busy during lunch time, I was glad that I ordered on-line, went there after 15 minutes, & just needed to wait for another few minutes to have my order ready for pickup.
My 1st order : Beef Udon in Soup
My 2nd order : Beef Ramen w. Miso Soup
- Udon noodles were yummy, ramen also nice, tender beef, some veggies included. Big portion, fresh ingredients, the soup was just a little bit too sweet for me.
Services were nice & friendly though very busy. Reasonable prices because of location.
Recommended!
I just wanted Sushi and was scrolling through the options near Pacific Center, so I went to the closest place. I got the Combo B which was 9.50 and I was supposed to get 8 Cali rolls and 4 pieces of sushi, but I got an extra piece of fresh maguro sushi. The other sushis were salmon, tuna, shrimp and snapper. For the first time in my life, I had a Cali roll that was avocado-dominated with black sesame seeds which was a great change. All of the sushi was good except for the regular tuna, which tasted fresh-frozen. Other than that, the taste and quality was on point for the price.
Good for takeout. Upon entering I was almost scared away by the sheer number of people both waiting for food and waiting to order! However the line actually moved quite quickly and despite the crowd I only ended up waiting about 5-10 minutes for my takeout order.
It's a no-frills type of restaurant. I felt that their nigiri had a bit too much rice which threw the rice to fish ratio a little off. However I really enjoyed their chopped scallop inside out roll -mixing it with tobiko roe really brought it to another level.
I would definitely return for takeout sushi in the downtown area. For eating in, not so much-there's plenty of better options elsewhere.
Finally brown rice. I'm a sushi garburator and as such quantity out weighs everything else. Searching for a place that is priced reasonably and has good brown rice as an option was kinda tough. Eating healthy doesn't need to be a sacrifice and thus brown rice sushi needs to be sticky and not mushy. In the summer when it's busy there are a bunch of places all around to eat as take out.
When in need to step out and fill my gut while at the library this is it.
Decent food. Spicy chirashidon is the korean version of sashimi on top of rice which is my all time favorite in the Bay Sushi Cafe. The portion is huge but the price is inexpensive.
People have different taste. I have tried most of their sushi and Korean dishes and I like most of them. I guess the owner is Korean so Next time you may order some Korean dishes.
My new fav sushi spot downtown. so friendly and so accommodating when it comes to substitutions. and they have the best dynamite roll I've tried
Delicious little place. I dont know about other people i like this place...!!!

I decided to pop into Bay Sushi Cafe Express for the first time about 6 months ago. It is more expensive than the ones closer to Davie but still a very good deal at 7$.
