Green Leaf Sushi

We decided to pop in because we love pressed sushi. They say us right away and it was a quaint little spot. The service was wonderful. Our server was really knowledgeable and accommodating.

The food was in a lovely presentation and was reasonably priced.

I still feel like this place is overpriced. I will say that the salmon oshi has consistently slapped (been good) throughout the years. However I did not love the "basil prawn" oshi. I might be wrong but it tasted like it had Parmesan on it, and it was reminiscent of a pizza. It even had an olive on it.
I feel like this place is best to visit with a few friends; that way everyone can order a different roll and share.
The workers are quite nice.

Ambiance and food is good as always.

However, we didn't particularly enjoy the service because while I was trying to have a catch up conversation with my friend, we were interrupted several times by the waiter asking if we wanted more tea (first time they asked we hadn't drank yet so our cups were still full).

We were having a great time catching up and to our surprise and the waiter's, the waiter commented that we actually finished all the food we ordered. My friend and I were not pleased with the comment, but brushed it off. The waiter then came by again and started clearing our dishes, asking if we wanted the bill while I was still eating.

They then mentioned to us that there are a lot of people on their waitlist and when we look around, half the restaurant was empty with no one waiting outside. We felt pushed out. We will likely continue ordering from Green Leaf Sushi, but would not recommend dining in if you're wanting to enjoy your time which is very unfortunate when enjoying good food.

Went as a group of four during dinner time on Sunday. We were pretty surprised that it was not that crowded. We ordered the assorted oshi sushi and the tornado omelette.

The assorted sushi is solid, but not mind blowing. The shrimp was my least favourite, the flavour just does not blend very well.

Tornado omelette was pretty good although I was expecting the egg to be more fluffy and creamy, it actually feels too much like white eggs. Could be improved with cooking it less. My friend said the sauce is a bit too sweet, definitely on sweeter side but perfect for me. Service was good, always full out water.

Great food, cute unassuming little restaurant, and friendly service.
The oshi sushi is a must try.

What's a good way to wind down after an intense workout? I'm no expert but apparently in my head at the time I decided I wanted nice fancier sushi. I managed to get my way because I happened to pick a restaurant with space for a large group on a Saturday. That is the story of how I ended up at Green Leaf Sushi.

Theatrics and humor aside, I was quite familiar with the restaurant. I've heard it's notable for having good quality aburi sushi. To test this theory out, my group ordered a ton of it to share.

I'm kinda like Joey in that while I don't hate sharing food, I do like having my own thing to make sure I don't take too much from everywhere else. That said, I was totally satisfied with how good the food ended up being. The tempura was probably the best I ever had. Very light and delicious. I think I had one piece of every sushi and all of them were excellent. I loved the salmon aburi especially.

A little bit on the pricier side for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Green Leaf. I'd happily go again to treat myself to a very nice meal.

This appears to be a more or less traditional sushi restaurant, in terms of size, seating, and the general menu. But what makes them unique is that they focus on oshi.

I am told oshi are a Vancouver speciality and I had never seen them before. They are rice with fish, but they are heated with a torch and then sauces and toppings are added.

We ordered the assorted platter and enjoyed everything (though perhaps the shrimp with Parmesan was a little less of a favorite).

We also ordered a few other oshi and some rolls. But don't expect to find your typical rolls here. These are unique and the oshi is the real speciality.

Service was just fine. They let us order at our pace, and came back to fill water and tea often.

It was a really great find.

Green Leaf Sushi, a sushi spot on the fly

Came here right before they closed for lunch and they told is that we had to finish eating by closing time so that was a little turn offish. Ive been wanting to try the sushi so we just ordered a couple of rolls to try. We loved the variety of aburi sushi and the combos were good. Sushi itself is on the expensive side but the food was good. The fish was fresh and the flavors meshed well together. Before we came i had looked at the menu online but when we arrived the waitress said certain things like the udon noodle wasnt on the menu so my son didnt have much options to eat so i ended up ordering him tamago sushi. He said it was okay.

My friend and I dined in on a Monday afternoon and we were able to be seated right away! Though, we came just after they opened. The oshis were great and the staff were super friendly! I would go back again.
