Sansho Sushi & Japanese Dining

Sansho is an amazing gem for the North Shore. High quality, authentic, delicious, good prices & friendly service. Sansho definitely shines when there's a plethora of mediocre Japanese restaurants everywhere,

Tonight we decided to try a new place. We have had the same sushi restaurant as our mainstay for years now. We were rewarded with the some of the best sushi I have had period. Why? Well it all comes down to the quality of the fish. The fish here is superb and the amount that is in the sushi is sensational. I have not seen so much quality ingredients used so liberally. What wonderful food. Great service and a casual atmosphere with a touch of music. We had the nigiri, maki, gomae and agadashi tofu, these were exceptional. The curry shrimp was great but the sushi was exquisite. My new standard for north shore sushi.

Great food. Good service.

I love this place! The food and service are great. The place is very cute and has good ambiance, the cost is reasonable for the quality you get. I really appreciated that they provided a child plate for my kid without asking.

2 trips in one. first and last. spicy tuna go ahead order it , it explains my review

Friendly staff. Authentic Japanese food. Excellent quality...

Fast service. Never insanely busy. Check it out if you like sushi. My favourite dish is the spicy agadashi tofu because the sauce is great and you can eat it unlike some whicb aren't good on their own.

One of the best in Vancouver. A bit far though, but worth a visit

My friend took me here for lunch- we had the sansho lunchbox w/ chicken teriyaki. The chicken was so juicy and had that charcoal BBQ flavor. Definitely visit again

This place is hopping!! And for good reason. The food is fresh and delicious. The menu is quite large with lots of interesting items to choose from. Lots of comfortable seating and can do some larger parties...which is great. I will be back.

I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the best sushi I've ever eaten.In Europe I have never had the chance to taste such a quality of fish (sashimi).The service was very friendly. Despite many guests the food came super fast.If I am lucky enough to be in Vancouver again, I will definitely visit Sansho again!

Great selection on menu. Personally, I think this is one of the best sushi restaurant in the north shore. Pricing is reasonable. Very friendly staff.

The black cod, salmon sashimi were excellent. The black cod was super flavourful, so soft and velvety. The sockeye salmon sashimi was such a beautiful colour and was very fresh. The aburi sea eel was good, but I was hoping for larger pieces of eel. I would definitely come here again to try some of their other specialties.

Very nice small little place. A bit our of the classic Lonsdale place but worth coming. Food is great and if you are coming often you can check-in for some discount (after 10 times).

Most authentic Japanese food in North Van. The duck soba is perfect rainy day food and took me back to Yamagata prefecture. Delicious.

Amazing! Found this place by accident. Everything was fresh and served quickly, staff was very friendly and professional. Will definitely be back!

Very reasonable prices and a lot of variety in their bento box

Nice little authentic neighborhood sushi place. We love coming here when we don’t want to travel far for sushi. They have a nice selection of boxes and appetizers that set them apart from other Vancouver sushi places I’ve been to. Their black cod dinner set and their agedashi eggplant are super good. Also love their pressed sushi and chicken karaage. If you’re on the north shore and looking for sushi, I’d recommend giving them a try.

Uni sushi is good

Good, genuine Japanese restaurant. You'll find plenty of Japanese restaurant around but this is the only true Japanese restaurant on the North Shore. Most others are operated by Chinese or Koreans. If you want authentic taste from the salad dressing to the teriyaki, I would say this is the best. They use wild salmon. High quality. Dinner prices were reasonable. If you are looking for a bargain, visit for lunch. Would go back, very good staff.

The matcha ice cream was great! Sushi and Una-don were tasty as well!

Great quality and fresh ingredients! Fair prices too!

Sansho - I have to break up with you and Ive been a regular customer since you opened. Your food is good. Your lunch service is good. But dinner? I have waited over an hour for food many times and still stayed loyal. I have stayed seated with 3 kids under 5 while ENDLESS take out orders left us hungry and restless for 90 minutes and did not complain. But when my husband comes home early for a special family dinner and you completely ignore us while serving multiple tables that came in 15 minutes after us? We do live in Vancouver - there are other sushi restaurants that would like our business. Do not go with kids unless you plan to plug them into a 90 minute DIsney movie.

Excellent Japanese food, reasonably priced, fresh

This restaurant was recommended to us and we liked that you didn't require a reservation, parking was free and easy to find, the prices were good and the food was SUPERB!! We tried a number of different rolls we had never tried and enjoyed all of them. The restaurant was clean, the staff helpful and there were lots of families of all ages eating there. It was a great experience and we will definitely return.

Very good service and always smile on her face

Good service. Good food. Good value. Flexible.

Great selection of sushi. Kamonanban soba was delicious.

The quality of both the food and the service were great. Their gluten free alternatives were excellent. 5/5

Very nice place. Sansho has a nice relaxed atmosphere and is very clean. The food is fantastic, simple and delicious without being fussy. The best part of the place though is the service. The staff are friendly and attentive without being over bearing. We have been there when the place is empty and when it is packed at it is always the same great service. The price for the quality is also very reasonable.

Great quality sushi and great service.

Very nice sushi, with good presentation and wonderful flavours. The staff is friendly and helpful, and there are a wide variety of interesting and different choices on the menu.

Really good food and service!

Cute restaurant, friendly and efficient staff, not to mention delicious food!

Amazingly traditional... great food

Fresh, clean, tasty and not too expensive. The best Japanese place in North Vancouver!

Really great service and the food was really good too. Wife is Japanese and she was really impressed too... We'll be back for sure!

This is a cute and authentic restaurant with high quality sushi. Will definitely be back! It’s worth the visit!

Very affortable prices and good quality sushi. Also the service is very good you get tea for free

Always good food and service.

good food

Very cozy neighborhood sushi place. Very tasty rolls.

Second time having lunch there. Very high quality food, polite and professional staff, fast service and generous portions, all at a fraction of the cost of most places. Will definitely be going back.

The only thing worth mentioning about this place is the cooked food. Apart from that I have no idea how people are giving this place anything over 2 stars. They don't even know how to cut the sashimi. It was served in chunks...quite a first for me, and the knife used to cut it was noticeably not even sharp from the scraps of the fish that was served. Not sure if it's clear from the photo I took. It's really a take out place right because I'm sure there was no service here. There were people bringing out the food to the table...that's it. And most dishes were really left hanging on the side of the table. I don't have any grudge against this place but just dont want other viewers to be fooled by the other reviews.

The service was fast and friendly. The food was delicious and fairly inexpensive, and the amount of food was good for the price. The location is a bit weird if you don't live around but its definitely worth the drive. Plus its one of the only sushi places around here that serves calpico.

Amazing food and service. A real gem in North Vancouver. Thank you!

Favourite sushi place on the north shore. While it may be a bit more expensive than the average sushi place in North Van, you definitely getmore than you pay for in the quality of the food, and it's definitely not as pricey as going somewhere downtown. The staff is all extremely friendly and pleasant and are really accommodating.

Tasty and authentic Japanese food, made by Japanese sushi chefs, at fair prices.Great service, and lots of space. Big bright windows!

Free street parking. Cc accepted. Reservation accepted. Take out available. Friendly staff. Comfortable seating area. Sake tasting flights available. Decent food quality for the price paid.

We've been to many Vancouver sushi places and Sancho Sushi is definitely one of or the best of them all! Or my favorite so far anyway. Everything is fresh-made and delicious. Real wild caught salmon is used and their BC rolls are the best! They had many dishes here that other sushi places don't even offer.The grilled Saba didn't even have bones in it. Try it you will not be disappointed if you love Seafood & Sushi!
