Reviews for Tokyo John Sushi in Vancouver, BC
First experience at this restaurant and it was truly disappointing. After being bombarded on Instagram by posts praising this... restaurant from various food bloggers, I decided to give it a try. We first tried calling the restaurant around 5pm and aftertrying 8-9 times, we gave up calling because the line was constantly busy. We placed an order online around 6:15PM for a pickup?ASAP?. To our surprise, we were told the order would be ready for pickup at 7:35pm even though we had only ordered 4 rolls anda sushi pizza. We still decided to show up a bit earlier to see if our order was ready. After we arrived at the restaurantaround 7pm, we were told swiftly by the waitress that we were too early and to wait and sit down, although the restaurant wascompletely empty at the time. While we waited, we wanted to be eco friendly and asked them if they could pack the rolls in oneof our Tupperware boxes, to which they told us that ?they had already packed the food?. However, after we were told of this, wewaited an additional 20 minutes for our food to be ready.. so I believe that at the time we had asked, our food wasn?t evenready or packed yet. Regarding the food, it was honestly below average for the price we had paid. The rolls tasted okay, but welost a bit of our appetite seeing our sushi pizza that looked like it was prepared by tossing all the ingredients around. Thisrestaurant has been overhyped by the massive amount of promotion on Instagram but does not live to the hype. Considering thewait time, the price, service and quality of sushi, I will probably not be back here. Read more
The services is amazing, the price is just right, I love the quality of the food and flavor is amazing they are my favorite in... Vancouver Read more
I must say I have never had such well made tempura before outside of Japan. The shrimp were cooked so perfectly that they were... still soft. The sushi is good and the sashimi is good also. This is my go to sushi place from now on. Read more
Really enjoyed the TJ Tower and the sashimi was nice. Micro greens, seared salmon and scallop, a layer of avocado, and a bed of... imitation crab. Paired really well with the sauce. I would definitely try this again! Read more
My first time at this restaurant was a pleasant experience. The server was friendly and attentive; the menu was extensive and... varied; and the food was a little above average because of the really fresh sashimi. The wait was long?ish? because there areonly 4 tables. And they don?t take reservations. Read more
A true hidden gem in Cambie for outrageous rolls and sushi towers in a cozy space. The staff was hospitable and the flavours... were on point! Read more
We came around an hour before close, and got really good treatment from the staff. Friendly, quick service and delicious food!... The TJ Tower is fantastic, and the Bento Box for those that can?t decide on just one thing. Would come again! Read more
My girlfriend and I used to love this place. The price, taste, and overall quality were high. Now I feel like all three... categories have declined. As someone else said the rolls were below average, and for the price you can get find tastier andmore plentiful portions elsewhere. It wasn't bad - but when you know good sushi and don't have it it leaves you disappointed.The miso soup was overly salty. The waitresses were nice and attentive. I'll give them another chance at some point. Read more
