   The service was excellent and the servers were very helpful as we were not sure how to order from the creative menu.

   Was really excited to try this place out. The ambience was great, the food was really tasty but the service was disappointing. They forgot to put my order through (which happens, no big deal) but when I brought it to their attention one of their servers argued with me a little on it saying I did get my food (when I hadn’t yet). And when it was discovered I hadn’t received my food yet, she didn’t seem apologetic for arguing with me on it. The other servers and the chef were great to deal with but the one server really turned me off the whole experience. It’s too bad as the food was great.

   The food is average, and price is a bit higher but the service was so bad. Team seemed disorganized. We booked it for New Year’s Eve and was told we only had 1 hour dining but they took so long to serve food, the host also came up to us while we were enjoying our last cocktail with our bill we felt rushed out of there. Just not worth the price

   Our reservation was for 6:30 pm. We were there on time. However, we did not get seated till about 6:40 pm. At 7:30 pm, we were told we needed to pay the bill and leave as they have others coming. We still had half a bottle of Sake to consume. I obviously asked the obvious question, "why didn't you tell us before you sat us ???" The host said he did which I challenged him on. He backed down and said oh, maybe I forget. I know darn well he did not say anything about us having to leave in less than an hour of sitting down. I have been on this planet for 71 plus years. I have never ever had such an experience before in my whole life. Our bill was about $220 . That was the first and last time I will ever spend any of my money there. I know a lot of people in Vancouver having lived there all my life. You can bet I will tell everyone I know of our totally unacceptable experience at this restaurant.

   Great Salmon and Toro! Excellent sushiman. It is a counter where you can watch all the cooking. Very good service

   There was lineup the host was absent to greet us for our reservation. Eventually we were greeted with ‘you have a 1 hour time limit’, for Christmas dinner (a special occasion). The server wasn’t trained properly, made multiple mistakes, including not giving gluten free soy sauce after we clearly mentioned the allergy, not taking our drink order (we had to call her back), not putting in the correct order (the manger made a bit of a mends by not charging us for the wrong one), and when the chef’s special arrived (it’s not specific on the menu which fish are being served), it was just dropped with no explanation as to what was what (thankfully we figured it out on our own). Also when we ordered the Oshi stating the gluten allergy, the server said ‘yes they are gluten free’, without mentioning that in order to make it so they would have to serve it without the sauce - which is kind of the point of the dish, otherwise it was just an overpriced square nigiri. We ordered 2 matcha crème brûlée, one where the sugar top wasn’t glassed correctly (it was soft and didn’t break), plus both of them were curdled (from not being baked correctly). We’re understanding how busy the holidays can be, and especially grateful for having places open on Christmas Day since we can’t be with our families, but this was a pretty brutal experience. Maybe we have high expectations, but being Vancouver in the middle of Yaletown, we certainly didn’t expect how poor the experience would be. Our drinks were nice though. Oh, and for a place that literally has “Oshi” in their title, why are there only two oshi options? Should that be a staple of the menu? Really odd.

   We are newer to town and wanted to do something different on Christmas as we don’t have family in town. We chose Oshi Nori because it gets pretty good reviews, we hadn’t been there yet and it was open. The sushi was very good and we would go again. The one thing we didn’t care for was being told we had a limit on our time (1 hour) after we arrived. It’s hard to enjoy a meal out in an hour and it felt overly rushed. This should have been made clear when we made our reservation so we could have decided otherwise.

    Was seated late (very understandable, around 8 minutes) and was asked to cancel some of the items in the second order because our seats were reserved after our time slot. While completely understandable, it did not feel the nicest after having our item from the first order forgotten. I was not aware of the 1 hour seating, but I am certain there was a notification somewhere. I usually don't dine for 1 hour, but items were served with delays in-between causing the dining time to be extended. I actually preferred the delay, and would order the right portion from the start next time. Seating issue was completely understandable, just all unfortunate timing with order being missed.
