Ogenki Sushi

Excellent service, super smooth and flexible reservation with friendly and helpful staff. Food taste, quality, and presentation are also great, with very nice atmosphere and restaurant decor. Huge shoutout to Rose for being a great server and manager.

I like how they offer "vegan" sushi but most of the order was already vegan to start and than upscaled in price!

I got their Spicy Agedashi Tofu (not good - the bater fell right off and their spicy sauce was a normal agedashi sauce with a squirt of siracha), Chicken Teriyaki Roll (ok but the chicken feel out of the cone as soon as I picked it up - I had to rewrap it), Beef Teriyaki Roll (made into a cone - there was no teriyaki sauce but I preferred this to the chicken), Yam Tempura Roll (the yam was small and cold), Avocado Spinach Roll (decent but the gomae sauce was bland).

I'm glad I tried this place but I personally think there are better options out their.

I visited Ogenki Sushi this weekend with my friend. It was interesting that they have vegan sushi made with baby corn and okra. But I didn't try it this time.
I ordered 3 rolls: tamago roll, spicy tuna roll and salmon avocado roll. The sizes of the rolls were on the smaller side but it was still a good amount of food for a lunch. The taste was not bad, my favorite was the spicy tuna roll. The prices of the rolls were affordable. The restaurant consist of two rooms. The room we were in was further in and more quiet as there were not too many customers. The server was friendly and didn't rush us to leave. This is a great place if you are looking for a spacious restaurant with good prices for sushi!

Enjoyed the vegan menu options, cute location and ambiance.

Vegan Crab OSHI: must try!
Okra Nigri: nothing too special, even if you like Okra
Cali Roll with Yam: got the finally try a Cali roll!

The service was good. Just one star off because the server we had was beaming with suggestions, but constantly urged us to order more (which I didn't adore) and made assumptions about what we'd like, I love hearing suggestions from staff but I don't need to know every detail. I'm aware that the server was trying to help, but I would like to develop my own opinions - good or bad :)

Found out about this place on Instagram. I bookmarked it until I got to make a trip to Vancouver, BC! I'm surprised at the low stars this place gets.

I was very excited to check out the vegan menu. Ordered a spicy avocado roll, stuffed with "mixed crab" that was made of tofu, tempura asparagus, was disappointed it wasn't spicy and there was no jalapeños on it like it listed in the menu. Also tried the vegan salmon, tuna, and avocado sushi pieces. It costs like $2.5-3.5 CA per piece which is a bit pricey but this was my first experience of vegan sushi so i had to try it! Lol.

The roll was very good yet felt standard. The crab mix tasted more like tofu, but I enjoyed it. The salmon was the most experimental for me. I've never had real fish and the salmon had this slippery texture that kind of scared me, lol. I shouldn't have been surprised but my mouth was! Lol. The tuna tasted like tomato and didn't have the same experience as the salmon. The avocado was underwhelming after trying those two show stoppers, lol.

Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and the food! I left full and wished I could try more items but my stomach wouldn't allow it, lol. Customer service was great, all the staff were very friendly!

Moving near Main we're looking for our new go to sushi spot and Ogenki does a great takeout. The fish is fresh and the rolls are a good size (not too big not too small) I hate an oversized roll but these are perfect.
The nigiri was a great fish to rice ratio as well and the sushi felt really nice and clean. I felt great after eating this combo. What I like too is it's reasonable. This combo cost $14.95 where at many places they charge more more dinner combos.
I would definitely order from them again as I enjoyed my meal a lot! Haven't sat in yet but hopefully soon!

Omg!!! One of the things I've missed the most since going plant based is a selection of sushi to enjoy. This little hole in the wall restaurant is definitely not fancy but the staff are super friendly and the food is amazing. Was blown away at how the sushi chef used marinated tomato to create a tuna substitute and carrot for salmon - same texture as the real thing and amazing flavor without being fishy. My son and I enjoyed 4 different rolls and cleaned up every last piece. I've been following this little place online for awhile and was thrilled to get a chance to finally try it out. Cannot wait to go again!!

My first Sushi experience after moving to Canada couldn't have been better! And frankly speaking, I didn't believe a single review praising the vegan sushi options and rating these at par or higher than their non-veg counterparts. I thought that there was something fishy (or maybe not!) about these comparisons, but not for long. My cynicism (and piscimism!) met a swift end after taking a bait err bite of Chef George's vegan culinary creations! Mindblowing stuff! Wait, is it truly vegan?!

After wrapping up with work on Thursday evening, I called Ogenki Sushi to inform them that we'll be there at around closing time. Rose, who answered my call, was very patient and helped me in narrowing down what to select for my pickup order.

When we arrived, we grabbed a box of vegan Oshi and Rolls - Vegan Crab Oshi, Yellow Dragon Roll, Spicy Green Dragon Roll, and Ogenki Roll, along with a non-veg combo #3 box which comprised of Salmon, Tuna, Ebi Sushi, California Rolls with complimentary Miso Soup. It was love at first sight when our eyes met the beautiful and colorful (not to mention drool-inducing!) box comprising of vegan delicacies! It felt good to exchange words with and convey our gratitude to Chef George over the counter while he was busy doing his magic.

Each of these items tasted delicious, and I concur - not to take anything away from the original sushi, but the vegan crab meat and yam based sushi options don't need (to) fish for compliments! Perhaps for the first time in my life, I'll choose veg/vegan items as the undisputed winners over their non-veg namesakes even without sampling the latter!

Ogenki's interiors are spacious and the ambience is nice, plus there is ample street parking along the adjacent Main St and in the nearby neighborhood. Needles to say, I'll be back to try more of the many offerings on their extensive menu.

Kudos to Rose for the fantastic service despite it being nearly the end of a very long day for her, and hats off to Chef George and Ogenki Sushi for the goodies and their hospitality!

They have a separate vegan menu with some really interesting looking items, so we tried them out for dinner one night. We did an online order of a bunch of different sushi rolls, and the order was ready for pick-up when we requested.

-Mango Avocado Roll ($5.95; 8 pcs). Very nicely made -- the mango adds a nice touch to this classic roll. A little pricey, but pretty reasonable.

-Futo Maki ($7.95; 5 pcs). Comes with tofu skin, shiitake, and some other crunchy veggies. Well-done, but very over-priced.

-Spicy Green Dragon Roll ($14.95; 8 pcs). A sexy roll with vegan crab, asparagus tempura, avocado, and spicy mayo. Very delicious, but horrendously overpriced.

-Okra Nigiri and Baby Corn Nigiri ($2.75 each). Both were very tasty, especially the baby corn, which is seared. Hadn't had anything like these before. Really nice.

-Agedashi Tofu ($7.50; 10 pcs). Probably not good for take-out, as it's soggy by the time you get home. Nice dipping sauce, but not all that flavourful or creative. Over-priced for what you get.

All in all, this is pricey stuff, but they have so many creative things on the menu and it's generally well-executed. Worth trying out for something different and the veganized versions of classic sushi rolls. Recommended.

Ogenki Sushi was closed for several months during COVID but are now open again for both take out and dine in service. There is limited seating in this establishment. They are currently offering 10% off all take out which is a nice incentive to bring back business. Opted for the Combo 5 (Tuna roll, yam tempura roll & California roll) this time around. With tax and the 10% off, it came to just over $13 which is a great deal for so much sushi. Taste & presentation were good and as was the quick efficient service.

It was a positive food experience and happy to recommend Ogenki Sushi if in the 'hood looking for sushi.

And yes this business is back open.
