As we approached 41st and Yew, my wife pointed out a welcoming storefront across the street. Feeling hungry and adventurous, we made our way over to Shota Sushi & Grill, housed in a homey one-storey building in the characteristic Kerrisdale style. After briefly examining the sandwich board outside the door and finding a couple of rolls that we wanted to try, we made our way inside.

I went for the most expensive roll, the Dragon Roll, which consisted of prawn tempura, cucumber, grilled unagi, avocado, masago, mayonnaise, sesame seeds, and unagi sauce. The prawn had a good snap, and the tempura batter was appropriately thin and crispy. The unagi had a pleasantly sweet grilled flavour, and the avocado provided the finishing touch by blending all the ingredients together. The Flamed Sushi, with two pieces of seared and dressed salmon, came in an unattractive dull brown hue. Spices accentuated the flavour of the thin pieces of salmon, which had a decent smoky flavour.
Shota Sushi And Grill has always been our favourite Japanese restaurant in Kerrisdale. From the food to ambience, it's a five star restaurant.
Love this place. I eat here a lot. Love the food, especially their specialty rolls. The service is warm and friendly, and usually very quick. When the place is very busy, sometimes it can get a bit slow, however I've never waited longer than average for a restaurant at peak hours. Always a good choice for sushi.
Lunch menu is good value and tasty.
Delicious food, but expensive. Yes, their food are delicious, but a little bit expensive.
Lunch combos cheap. Too be honest this place can be expensive if you go on weekends or dinner time. However the lunch special (special roll + soup + salad + appetizer) is a good deal for $12.50. Usually get the scallop magma roll and the flamed sushi. For cheaper but also very good sushi I prefer Toshis.
Holy Moly. I think Shota is the best sushi joint in Vancouver. Then again, I haven't been to Tojo's, but I have a mortgage and can't spend $300 on dinner. Anyways, Shota's gomae is so good that it's ruined gomae for me when I try to eat it anywhere else. Scallop magma roll, Kerrisdale roll, Canuck roll: all winners.
Best Sushi in Kerrisdale. Shota has the best and freshest sushi in Kerrisdale. I keep coming back here because the food is well prepared and tastes impeccable. They are a bit pricier than other sushi restaurants in Kerrisdale but it is definitely worth it.
Quality.. I came here for dinner. We ordered some speciality rolls and sashimi. The rolls were prepared well, with a good rice to filling ratio; they were quite appetizing. The sashimi also tasted fresh. Their BBQ items are also generally cooked nicely. Honestly, this place can get a little pricey, but you're paying for quality here.
