      Love this place! Prices are reasonable and easy to order from a screen and you watch your food delivered straight to your table! Genius! Great entertainment and lots of great items to select from the menu. The sashimi is fresh. The portions are not large but the quality makes up for it.

      Very rainy day at English Bay area. Found this sushi place to try. Instead of a conveyor belt, it was mainly a train delivery style. Most food are ordered on an IPAD and delivered to you buy the train. For a certain amount of sushi you purchase, you can play a game on the ipad and win special discount offer. Pretty neat!

      Ordered a bunch of sushi, nigiri, and fried food. I've seen not so good reviews here of this place, but the food was actually pretty delicious! Flavorful and fresh. Everything came out pretty quick.

      Service was pretty attentive.

      Great place to get your sushi. A good experience place to get your sushi delivered to you by train. Sushi aboard has opened for very long time but not a lot of people know it so definitely a hidden gem. So i definitely recommend you guys coming here for the experience with sushi! Recommended!!

      I met a fellow Yelpie here for dinner, for the special, annual "Dine Out Vancouver" menu. To be honest, we were both underwhelmed.

      The restaurant is cute enough, with a fairly unique food delivery concept: instead of the conveyor belt system in many west coast sushi restaurants, this place has a "bullet train" bring your food to your table in a channel running alongside the table booths.

      The food is presented nicely in black matte, modern dishware, the servers are pleasant, and they have mounted iPads at each table for diners to order what they want, or notify staff that they're ready to pay the bill.

      The food is fresh. In particular, the sashimi was delicious.

      But beyond that, the rest is...meh. The Dine Out Van menu consisted of the following appetizers: Miso soup, Tamago Yaki, Gomae and Spring Roll. Then there was the main sushi meal: 2 pcs Salmon, 1 pc Sockeye & 2 pcs Tuna Sashimi, 1 pc Izumi Dai & 1 pc Saku nigiri, 1 pc salmon and 1 pc ebi and 2 pcs special roll. Then there was a dessert of a Happy Pudding.

      We weren't thrilled with the meal. Yes, the sashimi was quite good, and I really liked the spring roll and the salmon. The ebi was also good but chewy. I wasn't keen on the other pieces. Some had off-putting seasonings and spices. One literally tasted like pepperoni from a pizza (very distinctive taste. Weird, in a sushi piece). Just odd. And then there was the dessert. The pudding was straight from the store, in its plastic little cup and tinfoil lid. When you go out for dinner, you don't expect to get a store-bought dessert. I have literally see these puddings in Shoppers Drug Marts and Japanese food stores.

      Our Dine Out meal cost $36. Was it worth it? My friend and I did not think so.

      On the way out, we passed metal shelving by the front door with a large brown bag on the floor, covering some spill, and cleaning supplies. Not impressive.

      Decided to go with another fellow yelper to check out this trendy new sushi place. The concept of having a train deliver food is cute. It has a casual ambiance. The food was okay overall and nothing out of the ordinary.

      We tried the dine-out menu, and I have to say that for 36$, it was not worth it. Came with Miso soup to start with. We also had some sashimi(2 pieces of salmon, 1 piece of sockeye, 2 pieces of tuna), tamago, a spring roll, and a spinach salad with black sesame dressing (gomae). The food was fresh, and sashimi was the best part of the appetizer.

      Next, we had 1 piece Izumi Dai (which was very chewy), 1 piece Saku Nigiri, 1 piece salmon and 1 piece ebi aburi (tasted like pizza), and 2 pieces of the special roll. I was disappointed with the Izumi Dai and the ebi aburi.

      For the dessert, we got a 'HAPI PUDDING' and it was so unappetizing and anti-climatic. If I wanted that, I would have gone to a convenience store.

      It also took a long time to get our bill. I am really disappointed with the menu and would have given a 2.5 star but I rounded it to 3 stars. I don't know if I'd be inclined to come back as the service was not great and the experience was disappointing.

      This is a super fun restaurant! Nothing fancy and maybe a little gimmicky with the sushi train going around but it kept my kiddo entertained. And the rolls are really good here. We ordered a number of them. The Hot Crunchy Ebi Roll was our favourite but all were fresh and tasty. The other one that stood out was the pinky pinky roll. But all were good. And even though there was a train going around delivering the servers were also going around seeing if we needed anything. The seafood yaki udon was tiny for the price of 8 bucks but otherwise I think roll wise very good price point. This seems to be the issue that anything that is not rolls seems to be overpriced. Maybe not order that here.
      However if you are in the area and have kids which would love this (or adults) and want to have a variety of rolls check this place out.

      Friends asked to try this place out. It's a novel concept outside of Japan. Basically, you order everything from the tablet, a programmed train will stop in front of your table with your order.
      Most seating takes up to 4 people.
      The prices are a tad more expensive, and the taste is mediocre. I don't know if I'll come back again.

      Definitely not the best sushi but was a fun experience. We waited around 45 mins for our table around 6:30pm on a Sunday night. Note, there is no reservation system.

      When we first got to our table, our table smelled like urine. We suspect the smell came from the servers wiping down the tables with a very old cloth that was not washed for a day or so. I tried to wipe down the smell with some sanitizer and it helped a bit but it started to make me nauseous at the constant urine-like smell.

      The restaurant was quite small and food was a bit more expensive. You are basically left alone to eat other than when you first get seated and when you nee to pay the bill.

      It was fun considering it gave me throwbacks to when I was in Japan dining at one of the sushi train restaurants.

      This place is so fun! The food comes out super fast on the mini bullet train. It's so efficient! Fish is fresh and the rolls were good. It's not amazing food compared to other sushi joints, but it's fun and I would come here again.
