I would say dining here is definitely not cheap, but it's worth a try! Everything we had was very good. The kinmedai whole fish is definitely the highlight of this dinner. The kinmedai whole fish includes sashimi and nigiri. The fish is fatty and fresh. They also use the leftover fish to make soup! The creamy uni udon is really delicious. I also really enjoyed the beef sukiyaki. It's savory and sweet, the umami flavor of the sliced wagyu beef definitely elevates the whole thing.
Since this place is so close to where I live, I would love to try their lunch sometime!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 598666Nov 2, 2023
I found this restaurant through Instagram since they have just started an Instagram account. Looking at their IG posts, it seems like this place offers traditional Japanese cuisine with high-quality ingredients.
Finally I had a chance to try this restaurant.
Starting with the Eel nigiri and Wagyu nigiri, which were ordered by my husband. So, I did not taste them. He said the Eel nigiri was solid, and the Wagyu nigiri was very tender, but it didn't melt in his mouth yet.
Ebi shinjo - Deep-fried shrimp paste. The batter was crispy, and the shrimp paste was soft, resulting in a very good texture.
Tuna aburi battera - The shari (sushi rice) was quite good. The tuna and aburi sauce on top of the sushi were actually better than in other restaurants. The sauce wasn't too thick (I don't like too much or too thick sauce on top of sushi), and this was perfect.
Deluxe sashimi - Hamachi, Salmon, Tuna, Tai, and prawn. The quality of sashimi I had in this restaurant was very high. Especially, the prawn and Hamachi were exceptional. It was priced at CAD 98.00, but it was definitely worth it.
Miyazaki wagyu sukiyaki - This was the highlight of our meal. The Miyazaki wagyu was incredibly tender, melting in your mouth and bursting with flavor. The sukiyaki sauce was rich and flavorful, and I truly enjoyed it with tofu, shungiku, and other vegetable ingredients. I will definitely order it again.
Overall, I am really satisfied with this restaurant. In terms of price range, it's not the kind of place I'd visit on a daily basis, but when I'm in Richmond, it's definitely worth a visit to try authentic and traditional Japanese cuisine. I will definitely visit againHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 15, 2023
I heard this restaurant was newer and they were working out the kinks so I'll be kind. Each dish was delicious and well presented and I can see all the servers hustling. We had to flag down our server to order. Our drinks came way after our food but worth the wait. Try the matcha "shot". Ambiance is pleasant and super clean. Hope they get super busy so they can hire more servers. Prices were a little more expensive than normal and they had some unusual items. All very good! Would try again and remember to bring your patience. Don't be afraid to wave over your server. There is street parking but avoid indoor parking garage if eating late. You'll have to walk around the building to get back in if you do.

One of the best meals I've ever had. We ended up here on a whim after the other places we were looking at were closed and as soon as we got here we were worried it was too fancy for our budget tonight. While this is definitely on the nicer end it's well worth it and priced very well considering the quantity and quality of the food and service. Our servers were lovely and helpful and the atmosphere really gives Syu an upscale feel. I can't recommend the Omakase Bento enough it allows you to try a little bit of everything and at $58 the quality and selection can't be beat.

We had a party of 7 on Monday Night.
We were placed in one of their back rooms. We felt neglected.
Service could have been better. We had to ask for tea multiple times. All our finished dirty dishes were still in the room and no one came to clear it up in a timely manner.
The food came quite slow as well but I believe there were only 2 chefs. The restaurant was quite empty while we were there. There was only one other group celebrating a birthday. Not sure how this place would handle if they had a full house of customers.
The food is quite fresh but expensive. We did order 1 piece of the wagyu nigiri and it was probably one of the chewiest cuts. The server did take this off our bill and stated that it could be the cut and the tendons. That was appreciated.
Overall - this review is to give feedback. Not to bash the restaurant. They have lots to work on. Hoping that they can improve.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 2 - Michelle M.Golden Village, Vancouver, Canada01May 2, 2023
Need to improve services, we don't have anything to drink or any utensils even after the food arrived. Food was ok but a bit over priced.
