Went for the AYCE,and decided to go for the ABC menu,whch is the top priced choice. You can have A, A and B,or ABC,at 3 different prices.
Got seated right away,place was busy. Was nicely surprised by the selection on the menu. The Dragon roll alone was a nice change.
The roll selection alone is huge,and covers all kinds.
Over all,the food was good. However,the Ika Karrage came out tasting of burnt oil.,and the Kaki Pon had a strange aftertaste.
The solid hits for me were the deep fried spicy prawns,the dragon roll,and the Amaebi sashimi.
The only real complaint is the common one for Sushi joints. They never bring all that you order.it took a really long time to get all our items,and of course you have a time limit.granted,they were busy,but it would be nice to get everything you ordered within a reasonable amount of time. It took an hour to get our fried items.
Definitely a place i will return to.
I wanted to say RUN, but there seem to so many people who like this place, when you read through it seems like the reviews are split.
We live so close to this place and I want to say we don't go here but sometimes there are just no options because iSushi has already closed, when you see the staff in the back alley (taking the trash out and smoking) you wonder “Did they wash their hands”. One of us always has a stomach ache after eating here (another reason why we try not to end up here if we can try).
The sushi and sashimi never tastes fresh therefore it’s never good. I will probably agree with someone else who mentioned it that this could also have something to do with the fact that they use cheap ingredients and poor quality seafood.
One last... this has to do with takeout... I ordered tofu (which is normally good)... you think if you pay for it you would get it in the bag when you leave... we got home and NO it wasn’t in the bag or in any of the containers.
Not a place I recommend to anyone.
This has become our regular take out sushi place in the neighbourhood, after trying a few others around Broadway/Arbutus/4th. We usually only order the basic rolls: California, dynamite, spicy tuna, etc, or terriyaki don, but it's always tasty. The food is always ready quickly and we've never had any screw ups with the orders. It's not GREAT, but it's consistently quite good.
Late evening meal for me and my girlfriend in July 2011.
We weren't made to feel important while waiting to be seated - so much so we thought they'd forgotten about us. Once seated our table and plates weren't properly clean, this is a simple expectation wherever anyone eats out... Wasabi was already on the table (how long had it been there? I want mine fresh with the meal), we didn't order sushi but a curry and noodles. Chicken in the curry was mostly gristle and very poor cuts of meat (seriously cheap), rice was not freshly cooked (very bulky). Beef noodles were acceptable.
Service was way below average - especially slow.
We left disappointed and will not go back.
After a friend recommended getting take out from here, we read that they had AYCE sushi. We were a bit wary after reading the reviews on Dinehere.ca.
When we arrived on a Sunday afternoon, it was busy, but not packed. We were seated promptly.
The AYCE menu has a decent number of items for the "non sashimi" area. The extra cost for the Sashimi didn't worth it for us, as the list of raw items was quite sparse for lunch.
Overall the food was passable. As you would expect with AYCE, you get smaller pieces of fish, and more rice with everything, but the rolls and nigiri were well formed and appetizing looking, which isn't always the case for AYCE. As with many non-Japanese run places, they don't know how to make proper sushi rice. There's not even a hint of sushi vinegar in the rice, which makes the rolls a little on the bland side. Still edible though.
The Service was suprisingly good, considering the poor reviews from others. Our empty plates were removed promptly, and our tea cups refilled quickly. There was always a waiter around to take our order when we wanted to add additional items.
The ambiance was just fine. The restaurant was somewhat modern, and seemed relatively clean.
Overall, it was an experience to try, but we probably won't be making any special trips to visit BC Sushi again as there are many superior places to eat.
Went for a snack after a hockey game and found that the late night AYCE was a better deal than ordering a la carte. I don't know when it starts but it was on at 9:30. A standard menu for $11 then you can expand and include sashimi and some other things for $4 more. The standard was pretty good with lots of sushi and hot items. Sushi was good and fresh as well as the rolls tried (scallop, cali, tuna). Gyoza were good as well. The bad part was the oyster motoyaki, it came in a tin dish and there were no oysters, just small bits of scallops. Service was fast and efficient. Would return for a late night, but don't know if it's worth a full price.
I hadn't eaten all day and while out with a group of friends, one of them suggested this place. Thinking back I could've done without eating but at the moment we all obliged.
It was still busy at around 10:30pm when we filed in, and the front staff told us that AYCE was doing last call in about 10 minutes. There is no order sheet so we just started barking out dishes to order. While there is a good selection to choose from, the food standard here just passes as edible. The rice on the nigiri, cones and rolls were mostly hard, while there were a few pieces where it was as soft as mush..thawed? The chicken teriyaki tasted burnt, but didn't look overdone, yet the batter was not fully cooked either. Those chicken wings had that 3 day old poultry smell and taste, but came out hot. The pollock in the california rolls were a suspicious near paste consistency, and those gyozas, it plain tasted strange. Most of the dishes appeared to be made in advance and left to sit before served.
Service is the absolute minimal, they tossed our dishes on whatever space was available at the table and will lean across to do it. A missed a few orders, but they do clear empty dishes quickly, I was able to get an extra set of chopsticks immediately, they refill waters (no tea, though) and we even got a couple of thank yous on the way out. From beginning to end, we were done and had left in less than 50 minutes. Record time.
The space looks clean from the wait area, but some areas are claustrophobic, our booth complete with greasy table and with broken bench seat and all.
This place is for those with little to no discriminating taste, so don't eat here and gripe afterwards if you anticipate paltry on your plate. It meets the need to feed the hungry for cheap at the cost of (substandard) quality. It didn't make me sick..frankly I felt great afterwards but I doubt I'd be back.
I tried the late night AYCE sushi and had a mostly pleasant experience. The selection was pretty good, and the food was better than average for this sort of place. The calamari was particularly noteworthy, as were the chicken wings. And the sushi was good, too.
The restaurant was full, and the servers were working really hard to keep up, so I have no complaints about the service. The hot orders were a bit long getting to the table though. As far as ambience, it wasn't great. I also found grease on my plate and a bit of sauce on my napkin before the food arrived. That was kinda gross...
Overall, I would say this place is good value for the money if you aren't too picky. It brings back happy memories of Bino's, and its a lot closer to home than Richmond Sushi :) .
Been here a couple of times with a group of 4-6 but never got around to putting a review in.
Food: Overall, I would say the food is solid. The edamame I ordered came out cold but on the other hand, the tonkatsu I ordered came out hot and tasty. There isn't a real big selection of food, but it's worth the price(11$-12$).
Service: Average. Sometimes I would have a hard time communicating in English to one of the waiters or waitresses for more tea refills, napkins, or food orders.
Area: Don't expect too much from an AYCE restaurant, they're not always "clean". Make sure to double check your plates and tea cups before using.
A good place for late night AYCE.
Came here with some co-workers after work one nite. As one of us was craving sushi and being quite late this was the place they picked. Well the service was okay and the sushi wasn't very good. You could tell that they use very cheap ingredients and low quality fish, not fresh at all. I would not recommend this place to anyone, just not good quality.
Food: There was an extensive all you can eat menu but we were in a hurry so ordered a la carte. I liked how the tempura had a lot of crunchy batter and wasn't at all soggy. Chicken teriyaki was good but you can't mess that up. The california rolls were kinda mushy but were still ok. Sushi was good (wasn't frozen like a lot of other "japanese" places).
Service: Food came very promptly and we were given drinks right away. However, they forgot my miso soup and ebi sunomono and we had to ask for it in the end. We got an extra miso soup out of it but never received my ebi sunomono. They are also so concerned with clearing plates quickly that they'll start doing the whole clean up bit while you're still sitting there. A waiter dropped some plates on some customers behind me cuz he tried to grab too many at once... :(
Ambiance: Very typical. Nothing special.
May go back if I'm in the neighbourhood and need a quick bite for cheap. My bf and I were able to get full off of $24 after tax! Of course the all you can eat is much more expensive (20 or 23 per person depending on what all you can eat menu you choose) but no need for it when you can get full from just the a la carte menu which can end up being much cheaper.
I would say that BC sushi is somewhere in the middle of Tan Popo and Shabusen. The service was excellent and very friendly. We had the all you eat lunch which offered some different selection from other all you eat outlets. I would have to try them again for dinner before I made a real decision. Great value for the price.
The service was good for an all you can eat-ery. We were served promptly and always received exactly what was ordered which I have had a problem with somethimes in other all you can eat sushi places. The food came out fast, almost too fast. Like it was sitting on the counter waiting to be served. Sure enough, the hot dishes were cold. The sushi was not fresh. Overall, the food was just plain bad. I am probably being generous with a food rating of 2. I will not return.
I remember when we first went to BC Sushi a few years back it was the best AYCE place I have been to with good quality food at a reasonable price. Well now they have switched their menus so the top menu is quite expensive and it seems like their food quality has degraded. I still like going there every so often but being in Richmond it just doesn't seem to be worth the drive anymore...
My friends love to eat here. I, on the other hand, is alright with it but not as enthusiastic about it.
For AYCE, it is rather cheap. Food here is decent but nothing especially memorable. It is quite busy at night, so it could be challenging to try to get the server's attention (for refills/new orders) but I am happy to say flailing my arms wildly seems to work. Not very attentive service, but it is expected seeing the number of customers and the fact that it is a Chinese establishment (as in all the employees are Chinese).
We normally dont come out to this part of town, let alone for sushi, but we were in the area and my bf had heard about this place so we decided to give it a try.
Food: we had the all you can eat lunch. the menu had a pretty wide selection. typical chinese run japanese place quality. the menu says bbq corn, but it's more like steamed corn.
Service: food comes out very quickly. plates cleared and water/tea refilled quickly. the service there is more about efficiency than anything.
Ambiance: nothing really stood out. nothing really special.
Overall: if i'm in the area again, i wouldn't mind coming back. be prepared to go for a walk after all you can eat tho!
We go here about 2-3 times a month for their happy hour or late night menu (a+b), and have never been disappointed. The service is always efficient, the food comes fast and everything is always tasty. The servers are sometimes rushed, but always nice. I've never had anyone be rude, then again, I've never been rude to any of them, so I guess you get what you give. For the price, you get a huge selection and there is nothing I'd complain about. Could the food or service be better? possibly, (hence the less than perfect rating) but not for what they charge. If you want everything to be stellar, go to temaki up the street. It'll cost you 20-25$ to get full but the servers will have time to talk to you and explain everything, and every item is very well done. The washrooms could use a bit of attention, but I basically consider this fast food.
For the price, I find it to be pretty good. I eat here quite often, and thoroughly enjoy all the salmon sashimi, and the beef tataki. I would like to see some different rolls, but I am happy enough.
I am pretty sure that it is Cantonese that I here the girls speaking, so I would not call it authentic Japanese, but they seem to have the hang of preparing Japanese food.
tried this place out with a couple of friends on a weekend night because i was starving and i felt after this place did a good job of satisfying my hunger.
the food is average, you can taste that the sushi is not the freshest out there like some of the other japanese restaurants nor are most of the other dishes on the menu. there is no limit on sashimi which is good and their deep fried scallops are pretty tasty. for what its worth, the food is overall solid.
in terms of service, there isnt any. waiters and waitresses are there to take your order and after that, you are basically on your own. grab your own refills, grab your extra napkins, and whatever else you need.
ayce pricing on a weekend night was around 15 or 16 bucks, cant remember. that is an alright price but there are cheaper prices around town (just have to find them).
the ambiance is just like any other japanese restaurants. the environment is loud mostly with all the talking from all the other customers. that is expected with an ayce place.
bc sushi definitely took away that hunger, i ate til i could no longer eat. however, that is all it did.
This place is a really good one if you love fish. I do, so I love BC sushi
Their rolls are OK, I like their selection of different kinds of seafood such as octopus (generous portions), grilled mackerel (so so good) and, importantly, unlimited sashimi at lunch! Take that Tomokazu and Shabusen! But really, if you love sashimi you are really gonna get your 15$ worth here.
However, you probably wont be getting everything you ordered (in fact, I have been like 5 times and have still never gotten my butter octopus, somehow)
BAD sunomono, no gommae, good tempura, bad noodles.
