The best of Vancouver sushi is Tojo’s. Order omakase style and Chef Hidekazu Tojo will create the menu for you; his bold flavors and combinations are worth the expense. Read more

Legendary Vancouver sushi spot. Inventor of the California roll. Really fresh and creative dishes. Not cheap, but excellent, with a great, calm, classic ambiance.

Some of the freshest and best sushis/sashimis lovingly prepared by Chef Tojo (an institution!). Splurge on omakase.
Kian Lam KhoJanuary 20, 2016
Sit the the bar and have Chef Tojo create an omakase dinner for you. Best way to experience this incredible chef.

We always have an excellent meal and Experience when we done here. I would highly recommend paying a visit if you're looking for great sushi.

#notetoself: go next time you're in van. tojo's the chef who created the california roll & is partly responsible for popularizing sushi in the west.

Four words: best in the world sushi. Try the 6-course menu and get ready to swoon. Be sure to order the California roll (the chef invented it!) and drink the house sake!

Put yourself in the chef's hands. This is not your ordinary sushi spot. Cooked dishes are awesome and the best isn't on the menu. You get what you pay for ( a lot)

Omakase (pronounce it “oh-mah-kah-seh”) at Tojo’s is an iconic Vancouver culinary experience. Order with hot, then cold sake!
Bryan ClarkOctober 16, 2011
Expensive sushi but worth it. Go for broke ($60+) and get the Omakase, the chef will make whatever and you'll really enjoy it.

Awesome high scale and modern Japanese restaurant

Tojo's Tuna, Great BC Roll & Assorted Sushi - the perfect trifecta!

Vancouver’s most famous Japanese restaurant. Tojo invented the California roll.

Bow to the master sushi chef of Vancouver. Be prepared to throw down some serious cash.
Ashley EderyAugust 24, 2015
Overrated and overpriced omakase. Enjoyed talking with one of the other sushi chefs at the sushi bar (Tojo didn't talk much, but he did check in a few times.) Food was good but should've been 1/2 $

Omakase is the way to go. A little pricey but amazing food!
Niki KiuApril 1, 2012
Tojo Roll, Shitake Shinjo, Wagyu, Uni, Amaebi....Lobster Sashimi with Lobster Bisque.. Yummmmmm
Summer LePreeOctober 8, 2010
The local tuna sashimi and tataki are the best I've ever had! And ask for the magnum PI roll (not on menu).
Kevin ChiuMarch 9, 2013
The uni nigiri is ridiculously good!! On a whole other level!!
Brandon PerlmanApril 8, 2012
Get the Omakase. Sit at the bar. House sake is the best.
David cromptonJanuary 27, 2015
If you've got the time and the means Tojo will deliver the goods.

If you order $500 worth of food at tojos you get free pepsi refills... Best food in Vancouver!
OrsonJuly 16, 2012
One of the ladies from Vancouver housewives was asked which restaurant was the most expensive in Vancouver. She named Tojo's

The tuna sashimi was the best I ever had, but the salmon was absolutely horrible and chewy... How could that be?
Caty TedmanMarch 24, 2013
Weird vibe, but incredible food. Don't second guess yourself, go for the Omakase.

Tojo is the creator of the California Roll ...holy shit!!

This is really good Japanese food.
Steve LeathleyFebruary 22, 2011
Get the Shiitake Mushroom. It's bliss!
MinOctober 22, 2010
More than willing to shell out for outstanding, but disappointingly Tojo's was merely decent - at a high price. Clientele: execs trying to impress rather than folks that truly love food.
Stephanie S.February 19, 2012
Good but not the best....alot of better sushi restaurants out there!!
Juraj LišiakMarch 15, 2011
best japanese in vancouver...just be willing to drop a couple bills...
Elisabeth WhiteJuly 2, 2019
The food is delicious but overpriced. The service is polite but very slow.
Shar EugenioOctober 21, 2009
Order the chopped scallop roll and dragon roll. For drinks, order the Tojo-tini. Read more
Arseniy IvanovFebruary 16, 2010
Try omakase made by famous chef Mr. Tojo.
Dr LJuly 23, 2011
Probably the biggest rip off and most overhyped place I've ever eaten. If you like average sushi at 3 to s times what its worth come here otherwise don't bother
Gary WieseSeptember 11, 2010
Do it.
Antonio BenitoSeptember 18, 2015
Me gustó el Dinamita, el roll Great pacific y el Northern, lo demás normal. Al atún rojo no le vi el color por ningún lado!
Travel+Leisure MéxicoNovember 11, 2011
Acércate a comer en la barra. Observa como preparan los alimentos y éntrale al sake.
