I’ve been on a sushi kick lately. First it was the loud lunch at Miku Restaurant in downtown Vancouver. Now, it’s a dot com lunch at Sushi Town in North Vancouver.
Unlike Miku, Sushi Town is a more traditional sushi restaurant with much more reasonable prices. We had six people for our dot com lunch and ended spending $25 less than lunch for three at Miku. This doesn’t mean the sushi is a lower quality. Well, it might be a little lower, but not much. The sushi was very fresh and the portions were quite big.
What you will not get at Sushi Town that you’ll get a Miku is white tablecloths and exceptional service. The level of service at Sushi Town is very hit and miss. Sometimes, you’ll get an attentive server. Sometimes, you’ll have to jump through hoops to get her attention. While the service isn’t consistent, the food is. I’ve dined at Sushi Town numerous times and the sushi was always good. It’s the reason why I keep going back.

yummmmmmmm
those salmon sashimi looks very delicious
Yes, indeed! Looks delicious. These are some great business lunches, John!
John where is the video ?
That sushi looks very good, it’s one of my favorites and could eat it just about anytime.
I had sushi for lunch today. Nothing raw though, grilled salmon sushi.
You always get what you pay for at restaurants. It’s a matter of asking yourself can I afford, and am I willing to pay extra for food quality and service.
The food quality looks excellent and I would have no problem scarfing it down.
I generally agree. The more you pay, the better quality. That said, there are always some outliers.
I don’t agree that you always get what you pay for. At times you can pay a lot and get much less than what you should get. On very rare occasions you may get a lot more value for your money than you’d expected.
Yes that meal looks amazing.
John certainly knows about the location of food.
john I think your blog helped you quite significantly to dine outside and share with us …
What do you say ?
Your pictures of the sushi are terriffic! The tray of salmon sushi looked good enoug to eat! Just be careful that you don’t eat so much that you ingest too much mercury
And right now, the FDA is usually inspecting supply every day at many sushi restaurant fish suppliers, especially if they get products from Japan, so you probably don’t have to worry about that.

Boy you raised an alarm while adding Japan name here.
Awesome and delicious
Abhik,
You should be embarrassed by this kind of a comment. Surely you can do better than spam.
John,
I’ll check Sushi Town when I’m in North Van. The food looks good and the service is not such a big deal at their prices. Hopefully they can be more attentive when I visit. If not I’ll get their attention somehow.
Is it even run by Japanese people? There are a lot of sushi restaurants run by the Koreans, the Chinese, etc.
Love sushi! Thinking of ordering it tonight after seeing those pics!
Do you ever eat at home!?
I think this kind of dishes should eat on restaurent … Unless and until you are a good cook …
John hows your cooking skill ?
The food is relatively healthy looking this time. All the fried stuff is going to get you one day.
Right,
The fried stuff may get you or anything else really. It’s important to know what kind of oil is used for frying and how often the oil is being changed. Burnt re-used oil is the worst.
Yeah very much true but I think John pick the right restaurent after all we are also watching it …. Lolllzzz
nice food, those chicken wings look tasty
Those last 2 pictures of sushi look pretty good.
Which ones do you mean? There are 3 pictures of sushi and one of sashimi. Maybe you can point them out by giving numbers to the 8 pictures starting with number 1 from the top.
The images are excellent quality and came out really good. Sushi town looks like a really great place to eat, and even though the prices maybe a bit cheaper, the quality still seems to be there.
Yeah $25 for 6 people food … Boy this is really cheap …
The dish is so crispy love to have it
I am completely agree and That sushi looks very good,i want to eat it.
Everyone does … My friend
Why does it always make me hungry, looks really yum.
That looks amazing, I am so jealous.
Jealous for food … I am sure you are die hard fan of good food.
Sushi by far is probably one of my favorite foods.
that food looks really great.
