Loved the Chefs attention to detail. Very nice place, with great Sake menu and rice beer...they made sure my soy sauce was 'Wheat Free' bc of my allergy, and gave me tamari:-) We enjoyed the set menu. I had never tried baby eel, baby octopus, sea urchin...and it was all so cool to try! All of the fish was beautifully simple with the fresh wasabi and slightly warm sushi rice for each piece...I learned how to eat sashimi properly by not soaking the rice part in the tamari sauce but by dipping the fish side lightly instead. I loved the Chefs personality, made us feel very comfortable to ask questions and taught us a lot. Beautiful experience!!! Worth every penny♡ Thank you again!
Favorite place for sushi so far in Vancouver. Very clean and fish is very fresh. Chef is amazing, never disappointed with their omakase menu.
When the whole coronapocaplyse shut down dine-in eating at restaurants, it was a bit of an inconvenience at first… then I started to realize just how often I ate at restaurants – turns out we’re saving a lot of money by me not eating out. After a couple of weeks, I started to get cravings for Japanese food and it so happened that I saw that Masayoshi was going to offer special take-out meals. I’ve had Masayoshi on my radar for a long time but never found the time to visit in person before so I figured this was serendipitous.

[3.5/5]Masayoshi’s original omakase tasting menu does showcase the chef’s masterful skills, especially the immaculate nigiri set and the sashimi preparation. The cooked dishes are elegant, mostly subtle in flavors. The thought behind the utilization of both Japanese and local seasonal ingredients is impressive. However, what I was looking forward to the most seemed to be missing. As described in Canada’s 100 Best, Masayoshi is known for his “radiant good humor”. The chef was too busy at the sushi bar and we didn’t receive any greeting or interaction from him. While appreciating the chef’s beautiful and delicious sushi, we were staring at the guests sitting at the counter in envy – they get to actually see the chef in action! So does Masayoshi represent the best Japanese in Vancouver? In many ways, it is, but I would be much happier to receive more of the famous Japanese hospitality that I expect from an authentic sushi restaurant. But this is just coming from a foodie who has traveled to Japan for sushi.

Located on Fraser Street, Masayoshi offers only three choices of omakase on their menu. You must also make reservations ahead of time and seating is only available at 6pm or 8pm. The restaurant had won the 2018 VanMag’s Best Japanese cuisine award, so of course I had to come check it out. We arrived at the 6pm seating on a weekday and it wasn’t too busy. The restaurant is quite small with only three tables of for larger groups, and the remaining seats are at the bar.
It was a real treat last week to have dined at the critically acclaimed Masayoshi restaurant on Fraser Street. Known for offering authentic Japanese cuisine with a modern twist, Masayoshi has been named a top Japanese restaurant in Vancouver but is also ranked #48 in a list of Canada’s Best 100 Restaurants for 2018.
Best sushi I ever had! Even it's not located at a high end location but the quality of the fish is top grade, it's just so good that words cannot expressed! I personally like the chutoro, tai, Saba, aji, Japanese uni and sea eel the most! Service was good too, the waitress that served us knows a lot about fish and is very friendly which is very impressed. It was also the anniversary of my bf and I, and they gave us a wooden bookmark with "happy anniversary" on it! It was just a really great experience and I would definitely go back again!
○good service/ reservation only and only 2 seatings - 6pm and 8pm for dinner
○good unique dishes / few options for set menu / they change set menu monthly
○very pricey for the quantity / we got the most expensive set menu ($120 pp) and still was just barely enough , still some room left / can order some items separately at the end if still hungry
○good date night atmosphere
○we try to go every month to try different menu
○if I had to choose 1 dish : sablefish
○would i go back ? Yes
Best sushi in Vancouver and among the best food experiences I've had anywhere. A beautiful, intimate restaurant, with an atmosphere exuding class and understated sophistication. The sushi is of an even higher standard than the other reputable options in Vancouver, and the food presentation in general is exquisite. Masayoshi is a very welcome addition to Vancouver's sorely underdeveloped fine dining scene.
Creative yet authentic, a very unique Japanese sushi bar in town. We tried their original omakase menu. Total 8 courses, including a few eye pleasing hot dishes, sashimi, nigiri sushi and dessert.
Quality of the food was superb. Will definitely try again, but will save it for a special day. Their pricing is pretty high comparing to most Japanese restaurants in Vancouver.
Masayoshi San definitely knows his craft, dishes are well executed and most of the fishes are sourced from Japan. Reservations is a must here and most of the time no walk-ins. Supreme Omakase requires 3 days advance notice and only on sushi counter.
I checked some review site and i gave a chance to have my dining with my friends.
review was ok,,, but actually the food was superb! so fresh and sushi was amazing. chef served sushi to us
one sushi each. most of seafood was i never had before...
i understand why this restaurant is not reasonable. because there are so many details.
you can not see but you can taste. if you never had experienced about real sushi, you will not tell the difference.
I really enjoyed. Arigato gozeimasu. i will come back for sure.
