Best Japanese Restaurants in Vancouver / British Columbia

Five of us shared several appetizers (tofu salad, ebi and calamari), a main course (chicken katsu), and a sushi platter. All were excellent. Service was attentive. Highly recommend.

We chose this restaurant for the Japanese bbq but more importantly, we wanted to see how good they were with accommodating gluten free and food allergies based on other good GF diner reviews. We had a wonderful and safe meal. Our server understood our requirements and was extremely kind, patient and careful with our order. He also double checked with the manager then let us know again which dishes were safe and which ones for the allergy guest to avoid. And when he bought the dishes, he ensured we were aware which ones were ok and which ones to avoid. I am extremely appreciative of this care and awareness. On top of this, the food was delicious, the selection incredible, and the price very reasonable. We will definitely come again and will be happy to recommend this restaurant to our GF friends and friends with food allergies. Thank you for what you do, Gyu-Kaku!

My husband and I always go out for brunch on New Years Day. This year we were very excited to try Victor. If anyone knows how to do a busy brunch it’s the crew at Victor. The food stations were very well maintained. The selections were plentiful and the service was top notch. The restaurant was beautifully appointed, the food was well laid out, we had a wonderful time. Great start to 2025. We’ll be back next year.

Our server Kim was absolutely delightful in getting our lunch orders and offering dish suggestions. Her diligence in service was quite extraordinary making sure we always had water and tea and all was well. We will certainly be coming back and we hope to get Kim as our server again.

Its my second time at Torafuku. I came at 3:30 hoping to order the tasting menu again but it didn't start until 6. However I got to try their happy hour menu....You Will Not Be Disappointed. We ordered 4 items from the menu so we will try the rest next time. As always, great service, ambience and food!
