Visited 2009~2011
The biggest feature of Vancouver is that Sushi bar (as well as Starbucks) can be seen at every single corner. Everybody has their own favorite place to go for sushi. But if you are talking about the value? Shiro can easily be crowned. In a obscured business square on Cambie street, hid away the king of Sushi bar. No mater how many times you have passed Cambie, chances are you never notice this restaurant or even believe this is a decent restaurant from the exterior. It looks exactly like any other sushi joint in town. The cheesy signage as well as the Japanese style exterior wall, it is really hard to imagine that inside there is the best everyday sushi in Vancouver. After you walked in the door, you might feel slightly more comfortable. The neat and simple counter filled with customers, but still nothing truly convincing.
As the nigiri sushi is served, now you can truly spot the difference for this restaurant. The wild sockeye salmon is the only kind that is served here. The intense red color represents its better flavors and taste. The wasabi is also the feature here. Using REAL wasabi root, and made fresh at the facility. The taste is incomparable. The aroma is very strong and fresh, this is truly what wasabi should taste like. Most store use the North America horseradish and give a dyed it green, which is quite sad.
Here I also tasted the best Toro Nigiri. Nice knife work and the extra tuna oil gives it the extra flavor. The real crab California roll is an must order here as well. The freshness of the crab meat is hidden in every California roll. Other than sashimi and sushi, the bbq squid and many other items are all exquisite.
