    Great food but has become way too expensive! A meal for two with one cocktail and one small sake was $270. It is our go to special occasion sushi place but will be going less.

    An amazing meal at Tojo’s on a fairly quiet Monday night. Despite this, the atmosphere and interior were atmospheric and very nice. The service was charming. Food was delicious. We went a la carte, and everything we had was amazing. Thick, fresh sashimi. Very lovely rolls and light tempura. We will be back for the chef’s table omakase!

    Staff was very warm, welcoming, and friendly. They respected our privacy while still being available whenever we needed them. The food was top notch, the best sushi I’ve ever had. Chef Tojo’s 2 specialities: BC roll and Tojo-maki were the best, but I also loved the blue fin Tuna nigiri. The chef was also very friendly and we enjoyed a good conversation with him after our meal.

    It is always a treat and a great experience sitting at the omakase bar. Tojo and all his staff provide great interaction, great conversation and many laughs. Of course the highlight is the incredible quality of ingredients, the skill of preparation and the presentation is first class. Yes it’s expensive but it’s also an unforgettable memory and well worth the price especially when you share the experience with a special person.

    Very very nice restaurant. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The food (seasonal omakase, Tojo Roll, and Tojo's tuna plate were all excellent. Everything was quite expensive of course but that's a given with a restaurant like this, in the end though the final bill ended up being less than I had expected.

    We brought a couple from Europe who heard about this place. They were very impressed with the food (they travel to Japan 3 times) and said it was like in Japan if not better. As for our experience our car end up locked into a parkade and the staff went out of their way to help us. I don’t know what other restaurant would do that. Thank you all for your help.

    We did the lunch Omakase. I think they are generally not open for a la carte dining in the afternoon so they only do this they get reservations. Which meant that when we arrived at 12:00 o'clock the sign still said closed. Tojo himself came to open the doors and greet us. If you book a lunch reservation, they do mean 12:00 sharp, so if you go to the door and it seems strange, just wait and they will let you in. We basically had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Our main chef, (I think Chef Kinta), was absolutely wonderful and we enjoyed talking to him throughout the meal. He knows the exact amount of interaction, vs letting you enjoy your meal. Each dish was presented with an explanation along with tablet display of what you are eating. And the dishes were exquisite. Including probably the best piece of tuna we've ever had, and the most interesting (in a very good way) and delicious piece of squid. Hopefully you can have the chef tell you the interesting story of it's creation. Even though it is expensive, I believe it deserves the 5 star value rating based on the level of service and quality. Tojo's most certainly lived up to it's reputation and then some.

    We loved Tojo! We had first been about 10 years ago when visiting Vancouver. I was pregnant at the time and couldn’t eat raw fish and Tojo made a special cooked tasting menu for me. It was amazing. We are back in Vancouver visiting with our two daughters and we took them to Tojo tonight. I was a little worried as to if it would still be good since a decade had passed since we visited last, but the staff had been so helpful with our reservation before we arrived (we missed our flight and weren’t sure if we would make it) and when we walked in Tojo was there working hard! We knew right away it was going to still be perfect! The restaurant was quiet and peaceful and relaxing and the food was lovely. My girls were so excited to see Tojo because they love sushi and we had told them so much about how special our dinner had been so many years ago. They said it was the best sushi they had ever had! We had a lovely time and I hope we get to go back again someday.

    This is my second time at Tojo’s and I was there to treat my friend for her 50th birthday. It was an amazing experience from being greeted at the door to all the information and hints along the way through our seasonal omakase meal. Each morsel excited the taste buds, looked amazing and was prepared perfectly. I wish I had another occasion to go again soon.

    What a truly wonderful experience of delectable food and exemplary service! "Omakase" means “Chef, I’m in your hands" and we were delighted to be! Our very attentive server, Tomo-san, guided us through the 8-course Shiawai Omekase, and recommended the Nikka from the Barrel Whisky to complement my husband's meal, as well as Jyosen - Kunizakari Sake for me (from Japan's Aichi Prefecture). I have not been drinking alcohol for several months. This sake, served in a fragrant cedar box to heighten its flavor, was an extraordinary way to break my routine. 1st course- 3 bite-sized salads. One of Dungeness Crab. The second was melt-in your mouth spring salmon and third was tender octopus, each on a bed of lettuce and shiso, garnished with micro mustard blossoms. The second course was a tempura zucchini blossom, stuffed with a flying fish mousse, spring carrot, asparagus, and yellow squash; the dipping sauce was perfectly delicious. The third course was the very freshest sashimi with shards of crisp diakon, and an edible pansy. The fourth course was what we could not leave Vancouver without: three heavanly poached Spot Prawns accompanied with cilantro and sea asparagus. They had a texture similar to lobster and amazing flavor. Tomo-san shared that it would be the end of Spot Prawn season this week. How lucky we were to be at Tojo's in time! The fifth course was sesame-crusted halibut cheek served with a slightly sweet green miso, popular in Kyoto, which perfectly complemented the halibut. Sixth was five pieces of Nigiri sushi, including a raw Spot Prawn, Blue Fin tuna, Maguro tuna, salmon, and a piece I don't recall now. As an extra special surprise, next came the two fried heads of the Spot Prawns. I'm an Amaebi lover, so this was a real treat! For dessert, Tomo-san served green tea crème brûlée with a small glass of plum wine. The combination was luxurious. Because this ooccasion celebrated my husband's retirement, Tomo-san brought him a Whisky to finish the meal.
