Came here tonight to celebrate a friend's birthday. Service is nothing less than perfect. With very late notice, our server quickly whipped up a dessert and with lights out, orchestrated the whole place to sing Happy Birthday.
Food is always on point here. From tapas to mains, dishes are prepared with so much creativity, tastes so delicate! The winner of the night got to be Tenderloin Sizzling Steak! Loved the dipping sauce. Never miss this dish every time I come to Suika.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 025 juil. 2024Avis précédentBeen here a few times and quality has been consistently good. This group of Japanese restaurant always comes up with very creative and finely crafted menu.
Service is great as well. We came at 5:00pm and there aren't many people yet. We were able to chat with the server. To my surprise, I learned that the employees create some of the menu items. Our server created the SAKEKASU CHEESE-ISH CAKE and got the owner to taste and approve. Now it is featured in their menu. What a wonderful way to encourage their staff, build a business from within their staff's creativity. I love this concept.
Ambiance is a bit noisy for me. It can be toned down a bit. All the welcoming and goodbye greetings are a bit much. - 15 août 2024
We've been to Suika Japanese Restaurant more times than we can count, and let me tell you -- they've never let us or our guests down!
Suika has a solid regular menu, seasonal specials that keep things fresh, and drinks that are as beautifully crafted as the food.
Every dish is a masterpiece, but a few plates really stole the show.
Salmon Pressed Sushi: This dish is a flavour explosion! Fresh, silky salmon paired with perfectly seasoned rice -- it's like sushi heaven in every bite.
Tokyo Oxtail Ramen: Rich, savoury broth infused with slow-cooked oxtail, topped with tender noodles and fresh ingredients for an authentic Tokyo ramen experience. Fantastic dish!
Tenderloin Sizzling Steak: The steak arrives with a sizzling hot stone aside, ready to cook to your perfect level of doneness right at your table. Juicy, tender, and bursting with flavour, it's a steak lover's dream come true. It's a must-order!
Overall, Suika has earned a permanent spot in our hearts (and our stomachs). We highly recommend it -- it's no wonder we're loyal customers!

Absolutely incredible Japanese food. Super authentic flavors!
The uni and crab carbonara was so creamy while still being light and not too heavy like western carbonara. There wasn't too much of a fishy flavor and the uni is mixed into the sauce. The crab was delicious and the roe added a salty kick to each bite.
The chirashi set was so delicious! The sashimi was so fresh and it's on top of a seasoned sushi rice that was also light and tasty.
The drinks were also delicious and refreshing in the summer weather.
Service was so friendly and attentive, it felt like we were in Japan hearing the staff call orders in Japanese.
The seating area was spacious and comfortable with very cute decor! I'd absolutely come back so often if I lived here!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 5 août 2024
Been a few years since we've eaten at Suika. Quality is the same, portions have decreased. Atmosphere is still fun and lively. Four birthday celebrations when we went on a Monday evening.
Our group of 7 shared the black garlic edamame ($6.40), two kimchi tuna tartar ($14.80 for 3) and corn kakiage ($12.00) to start. For mains, we had salmon pressed sushi ($17.40), hamachi pressed sushi ($18.40), signature beef curry ($15.80), gyutan bibimbap ($18.80), sansho unagi bibimbap ($19.80), uni and crab carbonara udon ($19.00), miso carbonara udon ($18.20) and dynamic pork tomahawk ($25.40). We finished with the sakekasu cheese-ish cake ($6.80), frozen matcha brulee ($8.00) and kinako tiramisu ($7.80).
Best items were the beef tongue bibimbap (rice got super crispy) and black garlic edamame. Tomahawk was disappointing; fatty and more like pork belly. Desserts were all great.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 14 juil. 2024
One of the OG izakaya places in Vancouver, I've come here a couple of times since they first opened a decade+ ago. They're consistent and the ambience is great even though I would say they don't offer the best food of its kind here. This time I was here for a birthday and they set us up in a privateish area for our party of 15. I got pitcher of some cold peach drink that was nice, but the peach pieces keep getting stuck in the thin bamboo straws - preferable to the paper ones but a wider straw would be better. For my main, I had the grilled fish set - salmon and mackerel was the fish of the day. Mackerel was nice and fatty. I like the miso sauce on the salmon. Both were cooked well. This set came with rice and unlimited miso soup which was a bit salty for me.
For birthdays, the staff turn off the lights and they get rowdy as they bring over a custom dessert pudding to the birthday person. It can get a bit intimidating for guests, but I enjoy a bit of flare for celebrations like this.
Staff are always attentive and super nice. Space is not crowded and I love the custom beer bottle chandelier.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 6616315630 juin 2024
Omg this place was a blast!!! You walk in and you are greeted by everyone working there, in Japanese, of course. Service was great, drinks were very tasty, and the food was top-notch. We came here for my birthday with some friends. I had the Omakase pressed sushi, and all the ingredients were fresh and delicious. My husband had the dynamic pork tomahawk and my God the flavors were dynamite! I can not remember what our friends got, but they loved theirs too. I got to try sea urchin.
Towards the end of the meal, somehow, someone mentioned to the staff or was my birthday. They turn up the music, start yelling, and bring a Macha dessert with a glowing bowl. I was laughing so hard as it was a great experience. When I come back to Canada in the future, I am absolutely coming back here!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 12 juin 2024Avis mis à jour
Great food, great service and great ambiance!
Stopped by for dinner with reservation ahead. We had a variety of dishes including sushi, steaks, crab croquettes. Drinks we ordered are yuzu flavor so refreshing!!
Overall the food was delicious, just one appetizer that was on the fresh sheet, tuna tatami with soft egg on it, didn't seem very fresh unfortunately. The same tataki was on Chirashi and didn't taste very good.. might need some improvement here. But the rest was really really good! Tenderloin steak was really tender and so flavorful the sauce was great too.
Croquettes were extra hot as they should be. The sauce for croquettes was interestingly Thai green curry flavor.
There were two birthday parties looked so fun!
This place could be one of my fam members birthday spot next.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 05 mai 2023Avis précédentGreat service and great food! As a sister restaurant of Rice, I knew it would be good already.
We were late for the reservation so I called in, no problem. Highly recommend to make reservations anywhere in Vancouver.
I had Wagyu hamburger with Demi glacé sauce, crab cream croquette, my daughter had beef tenderloin rice bowl, thick slices of hamachi sashimi. They were all very good. The sauce was rich and full of flavor, could've been less salty to my taste. Hamburger was soft and juicy! Croquettes were not warm enough for me but tasted great. Grilled Tenderloin I tried a bit from my daughter was amazingly tender. The poached egg on top of the meat was a great combination kind of like egg Benedict.
There is so much more I wanted to try on the menu, but til next time. - 5 juin 2024
Food is delicious but over the course of dinner, at least 4 birthday celebration happened and it's always a huge production when they bring out the cake. Also the restaurant is rather loud and hard to hear what each other are saying so not sure if I'd come back again for a quality time catch up.
The ebimayo is super light and delicious. The tartar is 10/10 as well. The Chirashi is just okay. The uni crab udon is delicious tho. As mentioned food is in the pricy side but great quality. It came up to be ~$50 per person.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 18 juil. 2024Avis mis à jour
Had a lovely birthday dinner here. Appreciate the large group accommodation and lively nature. Food was delicious. Highlights included the sushi, raw scallop, curry, sizzling steak and udon.

Highly recommend the tuna tataki, ebi mayo and the crab udon carbonara.10 févr. 2023Avis précédentGreat lunch meal at suika. Service is great. We got the ebi mayo, deluxe chirashi bowl, salmon pressed sushi and steak bowl to share. Everything was tasty but was expecting more from the steak bowl and deluxe chirashi bowl.
19 nov. 2022Avis précédentGreat dinner at suika as always. Definitely make a reservation as they get busy! We ordered a few things to share - ebi mayo, salmon aburi, sashimi, beef bibimbap and the tiramisu. The ebi mayo was fried well and came out hot. Salmon aburi was a hit as always. Sashimi was fresh. Wish the beef bibimbap came with more meat. Tiramisu was the perfect way to end the meal!
5 avr. 2022Avis précédentConsistently great and delicious - remains one of my favorite spots for Japanese food in Vancouver!
15 juin 2021Avis précédentOne of my favorite spots for Japanese food in Vancouver! It is very easy to make an online reservation and the servers are very kind and welcoming. I like all the features and specials they have, as well as their standard menu via the QR code. Their drinks are also delicious - I always opt for a calpico cocktail. The lychee one is blue!
My friend and I opted for the ebi mayo, the aburi salmon pressed sushi, oyster meets uni, and the uni, ikura and crab carbonara udon. I must say the oyster meets uni was my favorite! Great umami flavor. Every other dish was delicious as well. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. - 12 juil. 2024
Unassuming Japanese restaurant with a lively atmosphere and the friendliest of folks. Prior to our dinner service we watched the whole staff erupt from all corners of the restaurant with a glowing bowl topped with a birthday dessert for a very young patron, lively exclaiming happy birthday. Wonderful! Enjoyed between us a sashimi green salad with sesame dressing and mosago, fried edamame with garlic (this can be skipped), sushi unagi sitting atop fresh seaweed (fabulous), and chicken thigh dashi karaagi (superb). This place is a keeper
