Sushi Wow

Their (free)green tea tasted meh, my sockeye salmon was kinda old, there was literally nothing but water and miso paste in my miso soup, veggie sunomono was basically veggies floating in vinegar, sesame sauce in my gomaae was on the bland side, and inari didn’t taste right either but the avocado roll was the best I’ve had in a long while

Excellent sushi. It’s nice to have a quality sushi bar close to my home in Marpole. I don’t think it is worth paying extra for the premium/​crazy rolls here, although I have never really found a place where that is worth it, although that’s a topic for another day. My husband I had fresh takeout from here and every time I’ve walked past Sushi Wow since, I have craved prawn tempura and a yam roll. I haven’t eaten in-​store before so I may update my review when I do (which I surely will!), in case my impression changes. I presume the décor will be nothing fancy but that’s pretty much the way I love my sushi places. Leave the pretension out of it.

The best sushi I have ever had. The only bad thing is that this place is tiny. And I have been unable to get a table sometimes

Sushi WOW had a solid four-​star rating so I didn’t hesitate to order. Well, I have definitely experienced much better. Everything we ordered wasn’t bad but was average. With the variety of choices here in Vancouver I don’t think I’d be coming back.

Found this on Unilocal looking for a new sushi place in the neighbourhood. The place is small but was busy. Glad we made reservations for the 4 of us. The quality of food is good and fresh. The portion size could be a bigger like other places (unagi don and spicy salmon sashimi) but it’s decent sizing. Service was good. No complaints. The chopsticks were nice. I wouldn’t normally comment on the chopsticks but for 1 time use ones you don’t need to rub the crap out of them together to get the slivers out. We were seated right at the door so every time the door opened we felt the cold January draft. It didn’t bother me too much.
Other than that, the food is delicious.

Small sushi joint with seats by the bar. I ordered take out from here and the food was delicious. I ordered the chicken teri don ($ 4.95), the Wow combo ($ 5.95 consisting of a yam roll, California roll and tuna roll), wild sockeye salmon sashimi, salmon avocado roll, negitoro roll and spider roll. The chicken teri don and Wow combo were special pricing before 4pm, I believe and are great value. The rolls were very good. It had a great filling-​to-​rice ratio. I would definitely order from here again and am looking forward to trying there items on the menu!

I made a take-​out order from Sushi Wow for the first time and had a very good experience. The service was courteous and friendly, and their rolls were quite good. Fresh, and decent priced for what you get.
Definitely would come back for take-​out. I think it’s a little too cramped for me to eat in though.

I love this place, the staff is great, the sushi is wonderful, lots of selection, great prices too. Its nice and cozy, good place to come and eat if you’re dining solo.

Reminds me of sushi Mura and sushiholic. There are a lot of specialty sushi rolls at very reasonable prices. Portions are well sized without being inundated with rice. It’s a very small place with about 15 total table tops (mostly bar seating). The service is attentive, refilling tea constantly, but not overbearing. Sushi chefs behind the bar are friendly and will happily answer any questions! We’ve been here multiple times now and have always left happy. Will definitely recommend.

The service was very good. The food was presented very fast and tasted fresh.
I would recommend.
I had the lg sashimi plate, wow salad, and the chicken karage, my husband ordered the tuna Holic special it good. We also had the mayo shrimp.

This place rocks! Love the selection and the service :-) mmmmm…

Been going here consistently for a year-​ish now and they consistently have been good. For what is in the Marpole area, they hit the right spot. I typically get the sushi wow combo which is a yam tempura roll — 8 pieces, a Cali roll — 8 pieces and a tuna roll — 6 pieces and a miso soup, all for $ 6.25 at lunch time. For that price, its very hard to compare anything around the Marpole area.
My other favorite rolls are the salmon/​avocado or the yam/​avocado roll, each at $ 3.75.
Good service, good prices, consistent quality.
Not open on Mondays though.

Small store awesome sushi and the portions are humongous all for $ 20 for two and always busy so you know that it must be good!

Sushi Wow sits exactly at a «pretty good» for me. The sunomono salad was excellent, but the rolls were the typical 10 bucks a pop ~*~crazy rolls~*~. Sushi Wow is yet another restaurant to put most of their effort into these wild and crazy rolls which have too much going on to really appreciate any single flavour. Don’t get me wrong, I love creativity and there is nothing like chowing down on a roll that’s swaddled in mayo and tempura batter, but that shouldn’t be the backbone of a sushi restaurant.
I would love to come back and try more of their menu. One thing to consider is this is NOT a place for large groups. There are two tables in the entire restaurant (one sits four, the other sits two) and the rest of the seating is bar only.

I have been to Sushi Wow on a couple occasions and while I was quite pleased the first time around, my second visit two days ago didn’t work out so well. The plain udon (which my daughter always orders) offers maybe 50−60% of the noodles that other places offer… minus half a star for that. I had ordered a red dragon roll and toro sashimi. The red dragon roll was disappointing as it was supposed to contain prawn tempura, salmon and avocado. What I ended up getting was a glorified dynamite roll with a couple sauces a sliver or two of the salmon and avocado. It definitely didn’t look anything like the picture…
I did find the toro sashimi pretty good however and the tuna sashimi from my wife’s bento was decent too. Our server was pretty good coming by to refill our tea on a couple of occasions.
If I could give it 3.5 stars I would have… but 4 stars is too much of a stretch. When I come back I will likely lean towards the sashimi and try the ramen…

Awesome food, awesome staff, awesome choices and awesome price. Get the chicken karaage and spicy agedashi tofu for starter then chicken teriyaki with prawn tempura. Will come back here again.

[Hole-​in-​the-​Wall Sushi]
This closet-​sized little sushi joint is easily missable despite being located on a busy stretch of Granville. It’s buried in a commercial complex surrounded by a chiropractor, fido store, and various Asian establishments. Despite this, my little red Unilocal machine told me something good was cookin’.
The place is the size of my kitchen — but with better food. There’s seating for maybe 12 — the majority being around the sushi bar. Fortunately, I was doing some pre-​eating (@ 4:30) for a late dinner so I had free reign of the place. I decided on a red dragon roll and a tuna-​avocado roll. I also shared a shoyu ramen with my other half.
My first thought was someone here has definitely worked at Sushi Garden or a similar Korean-​owned sushi joint. It’s not a bad thing. In fact, the fish was quite fresh and the portion sizes were large. The ramen was very tasty and came in a big bowl that could hold a medium-​sized watermelon. I finished off my pre-​dinner (Dunch? Linner?) with a green tea ice cream. For 3 bucks, i got 2 big scoops. +1 for value! Prices are very decent compared to your average sushi joint in these parts. There’s also very decent pricing on weekday lunch specials.
Ambience is something this place is lacking. The walls are plastered with random Japanese-​style décor most likely from Daiso. Service was quite good but as expected as we were the only one in the place.
All in all, I was quite satisfied with my experience here. Dining in is an option but this little gem is now on my speed-​dial for take-​out.

I am thoroughly impressed with this place.
Consistent with the freshness of the fish, I was blown away each time I went there. I personally don’t care much for their Combos, but their Sushi Rolls, Lunch Boxes, sashimi, nigiris… oh mai!
I’m really glad they changed the management, and proceeded to rebrand themselves with a new name. Smart move. ;)

Not at all generous considering the ‘wow’ factor: great sushi at great prices, in a clean environment.
extra star for offering hot tea while waiting for pickup.
Called ahead and thx to a previous, ordered the deep fried roll, basically a cali roll but with its outside deep fried just right, not too hard or soft. And sprinkled w/​its house spicy sauce, and black sesame seeds.
Second roll is the caterpillar roll, which ordinarily is hum0hum or whatever, but the thickness of the avocado on topped, w/​deep fried tempura, really makes you want to come back again and try the rest of the deleesh rolls.
each roll 8 pieces, under $ 14 including taxes!!! threw in a toonie, and glad i did lol
Strictly a takeout place, despite 2 small tables and a row of seats at the sushi bar.
free parking in front, though watch out for rush hour restrictions.
accept all cards.
they deliver in the area.

We’ve been dining at this location for years back when it was still called Red Tuna. The new owners have improved the quality of the interior lighting, as well as added a new big screen with revolving images of featured rolls from their menu.
The menu is fantastic! Definitely step up for vegetarians in terms of food selection. Now they have veggie gyozas!
The ingredients were all very fresh and well prepared. Service was top notch, the chef came by our side of the sushi bar to make sure that we were happy with our menu. Definitely had me smiling and wanting to come back again!
The only thing to point out is that this unit has always bad weak air circulation. Because the kitchen is so small in the back, you’ll leave the restaurant physically and emotionally happy, but smelling like your dinner. Fantastic for going straight home, but not so sure about first or blind dates.
All in all I would still give it 5 stars — Would love it if they could keep up with the quality of food and service in this tough restaurant biz!
