Sushi Karis

First time trying, we only ordered the crazy girl roll via delivery, so this review may not be a fair representation of the establishment

A standard mom and pop Korean owned sushi shop. 4.5 yelp stars enticed me to dine there. Coquitlam has good access to fresh seafood so my expectation was high.

Ordered a variety of things including a few rolls, sashimi deluxe, aburi sushi's and others for takeout. First of all, charging 25cents for a plastic bag needed to take out my 130$ order is nickel and dining to the extreme.

On to the food... the sashimi deluxe was a disappointment. It looked great but the pieces were very standard and they gave us 3 pieces of cooked shrimp. Really?. The rolls were full of rice and the spicy tuna is a tuna roll with Korean spice sauce squeezed on top.

Bad for Coquitlam standards. Certainly not 4.5 stars!

OMG
I have lived in this neighbourhood for two years and I just discovered this place.
The food is absolutely delicious, and looks gorgeous the way they designed the plates.
The portions are your great size.
Definitely definitely recommend this place.

Only ordered takeout so far but it's been great! Lots of filling in the rolls I get, plenty of avocado which is rare. Love ordering from here.

This little hidden gem was well hidden. For such a small shop, it was really popular. We had arrived around 1PM. Ordered and found that throughout the hour that we were there eating, customers kept coming in. With only 1 waitress at the time, service was obviously a bit lacking. Not going to hold that against them.

The food:
They have the typical Japanese fare. But they also included a fusion items like Korean fried chicken and fusion arancinis (rice balls). Being a
Korean run Japanese restaurant, it was good. It was a bit more expensive then Sushi Town but with quite a extensive menu and variety there was something for everyone.

If I was ever in the area I'd go back and try some of their fusion items for sure!

We came to this restaurant per our friend's recommendation. The food prices were very reasonable and food was fine. I had rainbow roll ($9.50) and deep fried rice balls ($5.95). My partner had combination dinner A which came with 2 shrimp tempura, chicken teriyaki yakisoba, and 3 nigiri ( salmon, tuna, ebi), and miso soup ($14.95).

The setting was pleasant and comfortable. I find many Japanese restaurants are owned by Korean, and this place as well.

They had many varieties of sushi rolls in the menu, but I didn't see much choice of fish.

Overall experience with prices, I would say 4 stars :)

知人の推薦でこのレストランに立ち寄りました。
韓国人オーナーですが、価格がリーズナブルで、お味もなかなかなのだとか。彼らはお弁当ボックスが好きだということでしたが、メニューを見た限りではお弁当は昼食のみだったので、ディナーのコンビネーションA ($14.95)というのと、レインボーロール(9.50)、クランチーロール($8.95)、揚げおにぎり(5.95) などを頼んでみました。

メニューにロールの種類が沢山あるのですが、魚の種類が非常に限られてて、ちょっと残念。

お味は普通。でも値段がお安いので全体評価で星4つにしました。

Neat little sushi place tucked away in a sleepy neighbourhood in Coquitlam. I'd definitely miss it if I didn't look for it online.

Service was prompt and we were seated quickly. Clear menus and easy to make selections. Clear interior that isn't overly cluttered. We ordered a Dinner For 2 combo, and a sleeve of Asahi on special.

The food here is very tasty. The salad greens and fish are very fresh, and the chicken udon is flavorful and not overly salty like other places. Portion size was OK, for the price I expected a bit more. I was disappointed with how small the shrimp tempura came out to be. The Asahi on tap was excellent though - unbeatable price for imported Japanese beer.

Would be quite interested in coming back.

Ordered for delivery and got the yummy roll. Made a mistake thinking it said yammy roll (that's on me 100%)
I gave it a shot anyways and .... I don't know if it's because I ordered close to closing but it was the most disgusting sushi I have ever had in my life. The fish was so fishy to the point where I'm pretty sure it was gone bad. And the gomae was disappointing as well, the sauce was so clumpy.

Sushi heaven never disappoints if you want good sushi.

Our (senior couple and daughter) recent lunch at Sushi Karis was a first-time visit, and in honour of Mom's birthday. It was fun, the food and service good - overall, a much-enjoyed dining experience and start to celebrating my lady's big event!!

I found the quite small in size restaurant to be bright & cheery, very clean and neat, and quiet (music was playing, but volume was always kept low - the way we like it!) -- very pleasant surroundings/ambiance. Seating there includes both tables (on one side of the restaurant these could be moved about to accommodate a larger group), and booths - we chose a booth, which was a perfect size for the three of us. And not to be missed, the small, and so cute "boutique" bathroom!

Service to our table was very friendly and accommodating - we ordered a few appetizers first, and then the remaining dishes about half-way through these starters. The way we like to order, and it worked perfectly.

What we ordered:

- appetizers: agedashi tofu, tako yaki, assorted tempura (8 pieces - prawn, yam, squash, broccoli), and prawn tempura (6 pieces) served with the other dishes. These are some frequently ordered favourites of ours, and although these were not 'the' best we've tasted, I would find it difficult to find very much to fault their offerings - we enjoyed them all.

- sashimi: assorted sashimi (10 pieces - sockeye salmon, other salmon, tuna, octopus, squid). A very nice layout of sashimi, and everything very fresh and tasty. And at the price, a real winner!!

- rolls: BC roll (bbq salmon, cucumber, with teryaki sauce on top), crunch roll (prawn tempura, crab meat, cucumber, avocado, with crispy tempura crumbs). We thought the tempura crumbs on the crunch roll were a touch greasy, but I, and the others sure enjoyed and found some of the new-to-us tastes on both rolls to be interesting.

- dessert: in honour of my lady's birthday, the chef prepared a small sushi cake -- sweet sushi rice, with some crab inside, and the entire top covered with small pieces of sockeye salmon -- very pretty, and so delicious!!!

We enjoyed this dining experience at Sushi Karis -- ambiance was much to our liking, food was very decently-prepared and presented, and the service perfect to our needs. Another quite local to us restaurant. I picked it for a birthday lunch, and it worked out so well.

Have been coming to Sushi Karis for years since multiple owners and consider this venue one of our family's absolute go to restaurant for overall food quality and value !

Having grown up in Vancouver as a 4th generation Japanese Canadian I've been privy to high quality seafood and Japanese meals all my life. Sushi Karis will not disappoint as their fish quality, freshness, hospitality and prices rival any other Japanese restaurant within 20 miles.

Regularly come for lunch with dozens of coworkers who absolutely rave at the quality of food and meal sizes. (Their lunchboxes are always everyone's favourite.)
Some friends come back with spouses as far as Mission or White Rock as they really enjoy Sushi Karis

Definately will not be disappointed UNLESS you try to eat on a Friday evening around dinner since they tend to get overwhelmed with take out orders (hey... its Friday and we all don't feel like cooking or even going out to eat so takeout is the easy- button )

Huge thumbs up to the owner and staff for expanding their menus selections too while maintaining their very reasonable prices.
