Kuroshio Sushi Express (map, 1011 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, phone: 604-623-3388) is a take-out sushi restaurant in the Granville Street night-club and entertainment district, near the corner of Granville and Nelson Street downtown.

Their best deal is a huge sushi “burrito” ($1.88 plus tax, various kinds), which is a sushi roll that is not cut into pieces. Click here for a picture of the Sushi Burrito.

Sushi Town (Burnaby) – with Video

Sushi Town (5935 East Hastings, Burnaby, BC, Canada, phone 604-294-6155) is quite frankly my favorite a-la-carte sushi restaurant in the Greater Vancouver area. And that is saying quite a bit, since I’ve tried a lot of them.

Click here to see my previous review with more info and photos.

Below is pictured the Sushi and Sashimi Combo (around $7.75), as well as the Mangodise Roll (around $6.95). I am always impressed by the freshness, quality, and large size of the sashimi and sushi pieces, at such reasonable prices. This restaurant is definitely worth driving a little ways to get there.
