I've always loved fujiya for two simple reasons. One is convience and two is a healthier option. Whenever I'm in a rush doing errands or driving all day in and out of traffic, it's better then junk fast food. I wanted to highlight one particular item that this fujiya location has and the Grandview location doesn't.
The mini salmon box set. It's $4.95!
You get your omega 3 for the day and this meal fuels you better then fast food drive thru junk. Can't go wrong with this on the go, or even for people who work downtown on a lunch break.

Great variety and relatively cheap compared to all the other food nearby. I just started working in one of the Bentall Towers and find lunch an incredibly difficult time in my day. The food around here is either too expensive (think $12+ for lunch) or fast food. One of my coworkers recommended me going to Fujiya in Bentall 1. It took me 3 lunches to finally find where the Fujiya was (walking on West Pender, if you see the Quiznos, the Fujiya is literally right behind it). This little market also carries a modest selection of Asian snacks (Pocky, chips, drinks, bowl noodles etc) along with their varied sushi, soups, gyoza, bento boxes, and rice bowls. Today I got the Nigiri & Hosomaki combo $3.95 and the chopped scallop roll $4.75. It was okay, somewhat fresh, but nothing special. I can't say it was delicious but It was definitely filling and overall satisfying (better than supermarket sushi). I popped in at around 1:15pm and there was no line up and still a good variety of sushi left (my coworkers say there may be lineups during the lunch rush, but it moves fast). I definitely see myself coming back for lunch a few times a week. If you work in the area or want a quick eat I would recommend checking the place out!
And my pick from Fujiya is Spider Roll ($4.95) and Gyoza ($2.25). As I cannot find a sushi roll that’s over $6 at Fujiya, I just grab Spider Roll, one of their priciest ones. Spider Roll is one of my favorites and it constantly reminds me how I fell in love with sushi for the very first time back in California. Although the roll is not not freshly made per order, I can still taste the crunch from the deep fried soft shell crab. There is a lot of crab meat which tastes quite decent. I even found crab roe in one of the pieces! Gyoza isn’t bad either for just over $2. But it needs about 30 secs in the microwave – I like my dumplings warm!
