Yamato Sushi Restaurant (visitor reviews, 616 Davie St, Vancouver, BC, Canada, phone: 604-682-5494) is a tiny hole-in-the-wall Japanese restaurant on the edge of Yaletown downtown. Yamato has decent food quality and incredibly low prices.

[…] Yamato Sushi on Davie is the perfect place for me. They have great combo deals, like 18 pieces of sushi for $5.50. That’s what I always get. Sushi combo, and with a little extra cost, I can twist the combo a little and get the special rolls I love (the avocado roll). The portions are on the larger side. The quality of the sushi rice is nice, soft and fluffy. The wasabi is to kill for. It is very strong, I love it.

Pictured below are various selections from the Bento Box A, which is about $7.00 and includes miso soup, green salad, California roll, chicken (or beef or vegetarian) teriyaki, prawn and yam tempura, and deep fried gyoza. What a deal! Also pictured below is the BC Roll (around $2.00).

Kiroshiu Sushi Express is a small takeout sushi restaurant on the Granville strip downtown, across from the Cellar Night Club, next door to the Megabite Pizza (at Granville and Nelson in Vancouver, BC, Canada).

Prices are very reasonable: I ordered 12 pieces of maki for $5.25 including tax (pictured below). You can also get a sushi burrito for about $2.00 (click here for a photo of the Sushi Burrito). If you’re looking for a fast sushi fix and you’re in the neighborhood, be sure to drop by Kiroshiu Sushi Express.

Kitto Japanese House (833 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, phone 604-687-6622) is a popular downtown Japanese restaurant in the heart of the Granville strip, that serves sushi, teriyaki, tempura, noodles, and other Japanese items. Prices are reasonable but not cheap: a lunch combination goes for around $9.00. Pictured below are the miso soup, the chopped scallop roll, the California roll, and the lunch box (with Chicken Teriyaki, tempura, green salad, and Japanese spinach). Yum!!
