Sushi On

Genuinely one of my favourite newly discovered, lowkey and casual sushi places. I've done take out 4 times these past two weeks and it all stemmed from a simple Google search for a quick sushi take out near my work because I was super hungry after work. It did not disappoint. One of these days, I will come back and do a sit down!!

I haven't had much interaction with their staff, but just the few times I've been there, they've all been super friendly and greeted me as soon as I walked in.

Maybe it's because I usually go in around 4:30-5PM, it's not quite dinner time yet and so it's been pretty empty on the inside. However, it's a decently sized space. It's in a little complex with other restaurants around so it can be challenging to find parking at time.

Their menu is pretty extensive, ranging from regular sushi rolls, speciality roles, sashimi, nigiri and other noodle/rice dishes. I like their variety in their normal rolls-- my favourite is their mango salmon roll. I've never had this combo before and it worked really well! They give a generous portion as well. The price is also very fair. I would love to try their speciality rolls once I get to sit down in their restaurant. I highly recommend this place!

Absolutely in love with their "no sushi no life" sign... which is so true isn't it?!

** they have two locations and this is the sushi on Burnaby.

Korean sushi place on Edmonds.

Parking is available inside the strip mall lot, as well as on the side streets.

Place looks pretty bright and cozy.

Staff are friendly and quick.

The chirashi don I had definitely scores points on the presentation (cute little wooden basket). However, the portion size is definitely on the small side. Besides an ebi prawn, this dish also comes with a peeled whole prawn. I was able to gaze into its eyes while devouring its body. Ingredients were nice and fresh. Salmon, tuna, snapper, mackerel, surf clam, octopus, tobiko, ikura, and some other bits and a nice chrysanthemum flower.

Wouldn't mind coming back at some point to try their other stuff.

No sushi no life? Okay.. I am ON it..

I ordered take out when it was first opened, it was okay. I decided to do a quick late lunch dine in since I am in the area and its slogan, "no sushi no life", got my attention.

It's conveniently located on the little plaza on Edmonds by Canada Way in Burnaby. There is an okay amount of parking spaces in the parking lot, if not there are both free and pay street parking available.

Inside was pretty clean when I arrived and comfortably seated, always nice when not so crowded that's why I preferred non peak hours when dining alone.

Here were the food I ordered;

1. Ebi sunomono. The sushi vinegar and sugar with lemon were balanced, the vermicelli noodles were a bit chewy, but the 2 piece ebi hack didn't go too well with me (halved 1 ebi into 2 pieces is not really considered 2 ebi?!?) Yep, not a big fan of that and a lot of restaurants do it to the hokkigai too. I truly believe Japanese restaurants should really stop doing these silly food hacks (facepalm.
2. Salmon & tuna sashimi. Pretty fresh and decent size.
3. Dragon roll. Pretty fresh and tasty overall, but I am not too big a fan of so much sauces when it comes to sushi, mask too much of the original taste.
4. Salmon, tuna, toro, saba, ikura, chopped scallop nigiris. The sushi rice was nicely done and formed, everything was fresh but the toros were missing that buttery taste.

Overall, the layout and vibe here was pretty casual. This was the same for service wise, nothing bad or dynamic that wow me a repeat anytime soon.

As for the food, everything was okay and fresh. I would say pretty basic and standard menu, no specialty dishes or sushi.

Restaurant slogan, "no sushi no life"... many may not know but we are going through a silent recession and many restaurants are beginning to feeling the impact, therefore, my words to restaurants, "no good food no customers".

Very clean nice restaurant. The food came very fast (especially for the amount it was). The food was also very delicious.

The service was very very slow. It took 20 minutes to get the bill after asking. Our water glasses remained empty as well. I have been to this restaurant before and everything was great so I'm sad that it wasn't the same.

A simple but tasty meal at Sushi On . Our daughter ordered her regular sushi but as it was a cooler day, my husband and I felt like warmer food this time.

Avocado Roll
California Roll
Chicken Teriyaki
Vegetable Yakisoba

For simple, warm, and filling dishes we eat Chinese food more often than not; however, these Teriyaki and Yakisoba dishes really hit the spot. Maybe it's something we should consider eating more often. I love how these dishes arrived piping hot...so hot, that we could see and hear the food sizzling on the iron plate!

Service: Good
Parking: Free
Location: 7617 Edmonds St., Burnaby

This is one of a few sushi restaurants along Edmonds St in Burnaby. The place was full when we got here but luckily there was still 1 table left.

We ordered the ika karaage ( squid tentacles ), tuna tataki sashimi, OMG roll and a tuna poke aburi roll.

We haven't had ika karaage for a while so it was good. It was crispy on the outside, tender inside and it comes with some spicy mayo. It is on top of a bed of spring salad.

The tuna tataki was seared right, and it was also on a bed of spring salad. There are some cripsy garlic flakes on top.

The OMG roll has avocado and crabmeat inside, topped with salmon, tuna, mango, chopped scallions and masago. There is some spicy mayo on top and teriyaki sauce around it for you to dip for a little more sweetness. This was really good. I would definitely order it again however there are some other special rolls that we want to try, such as magma roll, thor dragon and crazy papa rolls. Next time.

The tuna poke aburi roll has soy marinated tuna, avocado, sesame oil, and jalapeno salsa. The avocado is in the middle of the rice, tuna on top. It was smooth, the tuna had a slight sear taste which went well with the house sweet soy sauce. It was well balanced.

We will be back if we're in the area.

Most sushi places are more or less the same to me, but I was impressed by how extensive the menu was!

The spicy tuna volcano was so delicious and one of my favorites! Seared spicy tuna on top of crispy rice. All of the aburi (torched) pieces were fantastic. This was my first time trying aburi before and it's a game-changer!

Great quality with a good fish-to-rice ratio! There is a parking lot out front but there aren't many spots so parking is quite limited. We came for an early dinner and had no problem finding a spot.

Great Japanese restaurant with great food and affordable prices. They opened in this newly renovated place a few months ago and it's been a popular place in the neighbourhood.

I tried their Chicken Teriyaki Bento Lunch Box and it was a lot of food. It came with chicken teriyaki, tempura, California rolls, deep fried spring rolls and a small salad. Other good choices are Beef Teriyaki Don (on a hot plate) and Assorted Sushi.

Checked out this new sushi spot in the neighborhood. Stylish new space with nice booth seating. Menus are comically large (forgot to take a picture lol). The branded cups and napkins are cute.

My choice was the popcorn roll and it was pretty good! If you like sweet and spicy flavours and fried scallops, this is the roll for you. The portion was big enough that the price made sense and there were enough scallops that they were falling over the roll, haha. Also ordered two aburi nigiri, salmon and tuna. Surprisingly enough I enjoyed the tuna one a little more, perhaps the salmon one was a tad overdone. Finally, I had some cream cheese salmon roll and it was pretty good! Plenty of filling. Would come back again to try more rolls!

came by for lunch at 2:00 pm on friday for a party of four and had no issues with getting a table. service was prompt and didn't take long for our food to come out. tea and ice water were served and filled. the tempura was nicely done, light, and crispy. portions for the bento box was perfect.
