Been here many times and always enjoyed the food. It is a small place that gets busy so coming at certain times can be crowded. Ordering takeout is also a challenge at busy times because it's very loud in there and nowhere to really stand once you're inside to grab your food without feeling like you are in someone else's personal space.. but the good food keeps us coming back.

My wife and I had lunch here yesterday, nice looking, clean restaurant. We ordered 1 miso soup, 1 agedashi tofu, 1 gomae, 1 california roll, 1 salmon sashimi and 1 spicy tuna sashimi. (drank tea) The bill came to $31.98. Everything was great, the sashimi here is very fresh and the spicy sauce they use for their sashimi is excellent. We will return.

My girlfriend and I arrived just shortly after 2pm and the place was nearly empty. This is good because when the place is packed, it's PACKED.

We ordered the horosamae salad, spicy tuna rolls, spicy salmon rolls, and a seafood udon. The portions were BIG and we definitely could not finish everything. Similar items at another Japanese restaurant would be much smaller. Oh and the price - very very very reasonable. It came to just over $20 for everything and we had left overs.

Definitely coming back!

The look inside is traditional (well I'm not Japanese so I wouldn't know). The food is good for its price, and the servers aren't bad looking either. Personally, I enjoy their sashimi on rice, the best value on the menu in my opinion. Filling for not much. Worth a try if you haven't.

Absolutely terrible. There's nothing wrong with warm sushi since sushi is supposed to be warm when there's shrimp tempura or anything cooked in it. There's a problem, however, when the sushi is warm with raw salmon and tuna; that is what I had at Sushi Town. It tasted so bad. The proportions are pretty good but it's just too bad that I'm looking for taste and not proportion.

The food here is pretty decent. As mentioned previously, it's korean style so the rolls are a bit different from the standard sushi restaurant you get elsewhere. The food is really fresh. We ordered a platter, salmon sashimi and some rolls. The portions are above average.

I've been to this restaurant for a couple times now. During dinner, it's best to show up earlier as sometimes there are line ups. So remember to put your name and number of people eating on the clipboard provided at the front of the restaurant. This way, you know when you will get your table when it's your turn on the list. The food took a long time to get to our table as the restaurant was full so be prepared to wait even though there are lots of people working behind the counter making the orders.

This visit is by far better than my last experince here. I decided to give this place another try because my friend wanted to eat here. In my last visit to this restaurant, the tea was never filled and the plates were greasy. As in the plates that the food was served on was greasy. It made eating my food unpleasant because I wondered how they were cleaning everything. This time, everything was clean and presentable. Much better than my last visit.

It's a great value for the amount of food you get. Ambiance is loud. The place looks like the standard sushi restaurant and what you would expect a sushi restaurant to look like when it's packed.

Overall, the sushi is good and fresh, but the service really needs improvement. Be prepared to wait a long time for your food to come.

Had dinner here a few days ago with a friend. I ordered an alaska roll as well as one of their special rolls and a miso soup. My friend ordered the alaska combo.

Service was pretty rushed and sparse. They came by to take our order and to give us our bill when we waved one of them down. The food itself is not bad, but the wait time was very long. I got my miso soup in about 10 minutes, and my rolls came out about 30 minutes after. My friend's rolls about 15 minutes after my last roll. So it was almost an hour since my friend received her meal of an alaska roll and 4 pieces of nigiri sushi. The restaurant was full but it shouldn't take 1 hour for food to come out.

Ambiance was fine, it was a decently clean area.

For the price, its hard to do better in burnaby for sushi. Probably would return if I had a lot of time on my hands.

A friend took me to this restaurant last night because he liked it so much. He said it was usually busy because the food was so good and the prices were so reasonable.

Indeed, though it was only a Tuesday night, there were 6 people waiting when we arrived. We were seated after only a few minutes, though.

I was quite impressed. The portions are unusually generous. Most sushi restaurants consider 6 pieces of sushi roll a standard order. At Sushi Town, it's 8 pieces. I ordered a "small" green salad and was brought one about 18 cm wide that took me quite a while to finish. My order of agadashi tofu didn't just fill the bowl, but rose a couple of inches above it.

And the food was great, too. They certainly didn't cut corners to make up for the large portions. Everything was fresh and delicious. It was considerably better than the all-you-can-eat sushi at other places—and yet for the same price as all-you-can-eat, we got MORE food than we could eat, and had to take some home!

Finally, I found the service outstanding. Even though the place was packed and the servers were especially busy, the two women who waited on us were quite friendly, and the rest of the staff appeared to be relaxed and positive in spite of the rush. My friend and I both wondered, "How do they do it?"

I'm quite surprised by these other reviews... Maybe the management has changed since they were posted? In any case, I have nothing but positive things to say about this restaurant and recommend it highly.

Cheers, Ander

Visited this place for the first time ...the place was full of diners even though it was 9pm. The adjacent restaurants were either closed or empty. I was optimistic walking in. We were seated fairly promptly, though you could see that the workers were swamped. Sparsely decorated, and warm.

Sashimi was chunky, fresh and inexpensive - i was really surprised. They said they specalise in "bbq and speciality rolls" - didn't see anything or note anything yakitori in nature, just unagi. The nigiri sushi is also really good value. Lots of variety for rolls, cut unevenly and smothered in rice.

Service? What service - ok, it wasn't the worse but I'd say no...too busy running around like blue-bottle flies and choosing to overlook their patient customers. Staff walked round, clearing tables, wiping down the same table numerous times but not once did they think that perhaps their customers were thirsty, wanted to order, wanted to pay and leave, requested containers for take-away so that they could leave, only to be told to hurry up as they were closing (we were still waiting for containers and THEN a bag...)

If i were to crave sushi, i don't think i'd even consider this place. If i happened to be in the area and hungry...perhaps i'd try it again.

The Awesome Roll, as the waitress explained is like a "big baked California roll with warm salmon on top". I know the above description doesn't sound "Awesome" or really appetizing at all; but having first seen another patron order it, I had to inquire about the roll "with the crunchy flaky bits on top".

The roll is slightly baked and served warm, toppped off with a delightful combination of green onions, bonito flakes, barbeque sauce and spicy mayonnaise. It provides some great flavor and texture contrasts (crunchy/soft; sweet/salty; piquant/creamy). A meal on it's own - 8 generous pieces for $6.95.

My other standbys are the avocado, yam tempura, and spicy scallop rolls. Since I'm not a fan of farmed salmon or tuna, I don't order fish based sushi as often here or elsewhere anymore. However, Sushi Town does have a delicious Spicy Tuna roll (the sauce has a hint of sesame oil) and BC Roll (creamy, slightly cinnamon like spice in the salmon skin seasoning).

Their Party Trays ($18-20) per tray are very good value too.

Highly recommended. As an interesting sidenote: one evening their phone didn't pick up, and I thought they were closed for renovations or for holidays. As it turns out, they were closed for a WEDDING reception, I kid you not!

Bottom line - if it's good enough for a wedding reception, it's good enough for an occasional cheap and tasty sushi treat.

I also decided to try this place out based on previous reviews. What a great little place! The salmon sashimi is big and tasty, and I loved the alaska roll with the pieces of salmon draped over them. Good portions, reasonable prices. The service was good, until we got our food- then they seemed to forget about us. No matter- I will definitely be back here. I like Sushi Garden, but when you can go to a place of similar quality and not have to wait ages in line, I'm there!
