Food was mediocre, it was not filling but that's how small
Food was mediocre, it was not filling but that's how small fancy Japanese restaurants are. I thought it was over priced including their French wine, i've honestly had better authentic sushi at similar places like this. Per person the meal is $100 as we got their around 10 course meal and their French wine we got was $90. If they provided DESSERT at the end of our meal would have been a lot better as I was expecting and hoping that they would give dessert at least! Especially because all the michelin star restaurants "fancy restaurants" I have been to always provided dessert at the end of the meal. The server was good as she made effort & explaining to us what each dish was (which is how it should be). I honestly wouldn't come here again but it was definitely a good experience. The ambiance could have put more effort, at the same time I understand that less is more - this place is seating for only 12, quite small. Good place for a business meeting to talk since it's quiet in here! I wouldn't come here again and bring my family & friends. However, the company I was with my partner and his parents - the fact that it was just us at the restaurant after the two ladies left felt like VIP since we were the only ones there.

It was a great experience overall. Tried the Omakase menu at the bar tables, and it met my expectations. Sashimi and sushi were delicious and fresh, and we had the coffee pudding for dessert, which was good for the finish. A bit on the pricier side but it would be a good choice for a first-time Omakase experience.
Be the first to ReplyFool me once, shame on you.
.. The experience was a big disappointment not coming close to living up to the price. All Omakase experiences are not equal and this was on the lower end of the spectrum. The sushi was poorly constructed falling apart on the plate and in my hand when trying to eat it. The rice seemed very undercooked as well. Fish slices were extremely small, the quality and selection of what was served was underwhelming, and their Otoro was a poor cut with stringy texture. They had to cook it in Aburi style probably because it was not good enough to eat raw. I paid an extra $30 for an upgraded special piece of uni that was garbage. It was served in a bowl wet, runny, and mushy falling apart on top of a small mound of poorly seasoned and improperly cooked rice. I knew I should have cancelled the dish based on earlier impressions. Other pieces were also cooked, over seasoned, or just off in taste. The meal looked big enough on paper. I was glad to just get it finished. The very young chefs engaged in a bare minimum manner and lacked skills and style, making it a blah experience.The three seat sushi bar is small and you do feel blocked from seeing the preparation in front of you. Yet you are still too close the chefs that hardly acknowledge you from entrance the finish. The best part and most entertaining part of the night was a small tank of live pet crabs next to the sushi bar. That was about all that really interested me.The servers were actually friendly and efficient so that was the only other highlight for me after the pet crabs. The other bonus was a larger table was behind the sushi bar and the guest spoke very loud and the noise behind you as you are was a bit annoying too. In the end it was about as expensive as the other top Omakase experiences in town or in the country, yet it was like being served in a restaurant of inexperienced high school and college kids.Don't plan to return.

They have Jikon sake (one of my favourite) on the drink list. Omakase is great except for anago which is too soggy, but chef prefers it this way. I have nothing to say.

Great service! Food is good but slightly overpriced for a lacarte.Omakase may be better option than a lacarte here.
Be the first to ReplyFirst off, we visited Tetsu sushi bar back in May 2022.
After hearing many good things about them and seeing them on so many foodie groups, we decided to give them a try. We made a reservation and originally we wanted to try out their Omakase experience, however, at the time of our booking, they did not offer Omakase, so we opted for à la cart.Unfortunately, overall, I feel that the Sushi here has missed the mark with us. From the quality to the value, we feel that the price they charge was not justified by what was served. Don't get me wrong, I'm more than willing to open up my wallet for a good quality sushi meal and have done so many times in the past.To begin, we had the eel tamago appetizer, and to our surprise, the egg had went off and had a rancid smell. We then ordered a series of sushi pieces, including scallop, salmon, Hamachi, mirugai, ikura, anago and the bluefin tuna trio (akami, chu-toro and ootoro). The sushi pieces were smaller than standard I would say and while the fish was fresh, there was nothing that made it standout. We finally concluded the meal with the foie gras and negitoro don, again, everything was on point but for $50+ it was merely 4-5 bites. Overall we weren't wowed by our experience. Perhaps we should waited until they offered omakase again.
Be the first to ReplyI made a reservation in advance to sit at the sushi bar for
I made a reservation in advance to sit at the sushi bar for omakase - highly recommended, as this is a small sushi restaurant with 3 seats at the bar and a few tables. I felt right at home as soon as I entered the restaurant, as I was greeted in Japanese by the hostess/waitresses. The menu was described to me in Japanese, and I could hear the staff all speaking it too! Loved that.The omakase starts in order of seating - the reservation was at 8pm, but the other 2 guests showed up a little later, so their omakase was a few pieces behind me throughout our meal. I felt a little bad as this meant that the chef had to handle the timing between me and the other 2 guests, but he handled it very well!At the sushi bar, you get to see all the fish being cut and prepared into nigiri, which is always fun to watch. The view is a little impeded by dishes and equipment stacked in front, but you can still see most of the action. During my visit, there were 2 chefs at the bar, but one of them was making sushi for a la carte orders, while the other was focused on the omakase courses.For my omakase, I had the option of upgrading the final uni nigiri to a Female snow crab with bafun uni for $40, so I did just that. What a delight! If you have this option, definitely go for it. The crab is so soft, and it comes with a lot of ikura, too, which I love! And the uni is so creamyyy. Loved it.I think, if I were to compare with other omakase experiences I've had, I would have enjoyed a more interactive experience with the chef. I spoke with the chef a little bit, but he didn't seem to want to talk, so I felt like I was disturbing him. And it would have been okay with me to wait a few minutes for the other 2 guests to catch up so that we were on the same menu items.. I think it would have felt more cohesive of a dinner experience that way. But these are just nit-picky things that ultimately didn't affect my dinner experience.High quality sushi, paced in a relaxed way, with very reasonable prices. Would come back!
Be the first to ReplySmall sushi bar that serves omakase.
Been wanting to go to this place for a long time. The place is only big enough for 10-12 people to fit. Each pieces were unique in its taste. The staff were great and attentive . Definitely worth it.

Be the first to ReplyOne of my favorite places for top notch Japanese food in
One of my favorite places for top notch Japanese food in Vancouver. They're pricey but I would def go back because the taste, the craft and the presentation is all worth it. Especially taste-wise.I love their foie gras blue fin tuna nigiri, the BEST I've had, definitely a must try!And the udon noodle there is absolutely delicious as well. I was surprised by how plain it looks but honestly it's became one of my favorite noodle soups.
Be the first to ReplyVery small and traditional Japanese sushi restaurant.
Fresh and delicious. Come early.
Be the first to ReplyIt's a small and cozy shop, can hold about 12 - 15 people.
We made reservations for omakase for their last seating at 9:30pm so it was pretty quiet, just us and another table. Service was great, I reminded them about dietary restrictions and the hostess confirmed with the chef immediately. Presentation of the food is nice and each piece of nigiri is seasoned nicely. Good amount of food with the appetizers and 14 pieces of nigiri, I left feeling full and happy.
Be the first to ReplyHad an amazing experience at this authentic sushi place.
Closest thing I've tried to sushi in Japan and very fresh ingredients. Service was excellent and sake selection very good.
Be the first to ReplyArguably the best Omakase restaurant in Vancouver.
Yes you will pay a high price but in return you get one of the best food experiences around. The chefs are very knowledgeable and nice as are the servers, describing each dish in detail. Our dinner was $185 each but worth every penny.
Be the first to ReplyMy first omakase experience and I was not disappointed.
Everything was very fresh. My favourite piece was probably the spanish makarel
Be the first to ReplyVery down to earth, simple but rich in quality.
They really directed their focus on quality and customer service, and trimmed out all the unnecessary, sometimes unwanted, bourgeoisie-ness that alot of other omakase comes with. Price is lower than what I expected considering the ingridients and freshness.

We got the uni+ikura don, bluefin tuna set (3 pieces), and miso cod.I liked their chuutoro a lot but their ootoro had a sharp fishy aftertaste that made it worse than the chuutoro.Otherwise the restaurant is solid. The uni is rich with umami, not at all bitter, but I would say that this is bare minimum at this price point. The miso cod is a dish that is made the same almost everywhere and I don't think they did it better.Definitely a $$$$ restaurant instead of a $$ restaurant. $50 per person would not nearly be enough. Realistically $100+ per person.
Be the first to ReplyFirst time trying Omakase and wow what an experience.
You can tell the chef is very particular on the freshness of the fish. The chef was able to incorporate secret ingredients like lemon zest and others to amplify the taste of each individual fish. I love it so much that I have booked my next reservation already.
Be the first to ReplyThe best sushi on Bc.
Period! great service as well as the quality of food.Can only sit up to 9-10 people so for sure you will need to make reservations.
Be the first to ReplyThe best sushi i've ever had.
Small and intimate place, perfect for a date. The servers are super friendly and make you feel comfortable at all times. Definitely a must try, especially if you're touring Vancouver. All of the fish is super high quality - you will definitely not regret it.
Be the first to ReplyOmakase is definitely not my favourite Japanese dining
Omakase is definitely not my favourite Japanese dining style. In my opinion, it's expensive and often I feel unsatiated. This is my second time to Tetsu. The first time was probably 2-3 years ago and from what I remember, it wasn't that great. I decided to give them a second chance tonight since my sister and my friends raved about it. We just came back from Tetsu and after paying $300 for three people, we did not feel full nor satisfied. There is a mandatory minimum charge of $70 per person (which I don't mind paying) but honestly, I did not feel like the quality was up to standard. The omakase was alright, I guess. I didn't feel like there was one fish that wowed me. If I was to choose a favourite, it would be the Japanese uni. I also tried their fish miso soup (which was not on the menu) but the server was nice enough to ask the kitchen to make it for me. Unfortunately, it was nothing special. We also had the Ebi Zukushi Aburi roll and I didn't like it. I guess I didn't like the shiso paste and homemade sauce.Service was excellent. There was one server and she only had to cater to us and a couple sitting at the bar. With a plethora of Japanese food in our city, I might try other places before revisiting this restaurant.
Be the first to ReplyIncredible thank you ! We went to the Tetsu for the first
Incredible thank you ! We went to the Tetsu for the first time for a special birthday dinner and it didn't disappoint. This was the best sushi dinner I've ever had. Japanese uni was a highlight and all the other fish flown in from japan. The smoked king salmon was incredible. From foie gras to wagyu to the fine sake selection the luxury continued. Ended the meal with cold housemade soba noodles with dipping sauce. Service was gracious and professional. We will absolutely return for another special occasion. Oh make a reservation there is only one table and the sushi bar available as per social distancing protocols and a small space to start with.
