Sushi Oyama

“ This restaurant is inside a historic heritage building. I thought it was cool. There’s also a free parkade to the side. As for the sushi, it's decent. Not mind blowing, but it’s tasty and delicious. Just don't order the sushi pizza or deep fried California roll... Would I come back again? Oh for sure. ”

“ I haven't been to Sushi Oyama in a long time, I'm glad I did. The service was great, and very accommodating to our group of 10. The food before, when I came many years ago, was okay. But after returning recently, the food was very delicious. I wanted to keep eating. Such a great improvement, and I wish the best success to Sushi Oyama! We ordered the: Salmon Oshi, Tuna Tataki, Ika Karaage, Aburi Deluxe, Sushi Pizza, Oyster Motoyaki, House Roll, Takoyaki, Yam & Prawn Tempura, Unagi Kabayaki, Chicken Karaage, and the Assorted Sashimi. I highly recommend and will be coming back again! ”

“ 5/5 Beef Yakisoba -Portion is bigger than it looks -Lots of beef (they really don't skimp out) And the quality tasted surprisingly tender -Served sizzling like a show on a cast iron pan Atmosphere is very nice & clean Server is very attentive, welcoming & accommodating ”

“ this is a takeout review (we ordered online). For context, we have dined in here for special occasions like mother’s day last year so I recall service being good (fast). Ever had #sushi for breakfast? Me neither, until today! Party tray #takeout dinner has my faves like kaki fry (oyster appetizer) beef #yakisoba (noods) shrimp sunomono (salad) The flower pic is a bouquet of fake (beautiful) flowers by the restaurant’s door! The last few pics are also good tonkatsu bento box (pork chop with rice and salad) shrimp and sweet potato #tempura agedashi tofu Recommend the yakisoba, and all their sushi. ”

“ What should have been a simple dinner turned into a 45-minute neighborhood treasure hunt that tested both my patience and my faith in Google Maps. The address led me to what appeared to be a regular residential street in Burnaby, complete with driveways, mailboxes, and absolutely no restaurant signage. Spent twenty minutes walking up and down the block, checking house numbers twice, convinced I'd made some kind of GPS error. Started ringing doorbells asking if anyone knew where the sushi restaurant was. One elderly woman thought I was having a senior moment and offered to call someone for me. Another homeowner suggested I try the mall "down the road" because "there's no restaurant on this street." Finally spotted a tiny sign on a residential window that said "Oyama". Even then, I stood on the porch for five minutes wondering if this was some kind of elaborate dinner party scam or underground restaurant situation. Had to psych myself up to actually ring the doorbell of what looked like someone's family home. When I finally entered, the other diners seemed oddly comfortable with the whole residential setup, which made me question whether I was missing some cultural dining trend. Kept waiting for someone to introduce me to the "host family" or explain the house rules. The server looked confused when I asked if I should take my shoes off (seemed polite, given we were literally in someone's living room). The Red Dragon Roll was perfectly fine, but I spent the entire meal distracted by the surreal experience of eating sushi next to someone's fireplace. Every time I heard footsteps upstairs, I wondered if the actual homeowners were just living their normal lives while strangers ate dinner in their front room. Great concept, but seriously needs better street signage. I've solved insurance fraud cases with fewer clues than it took to find this place. Maybe invest in a proper restaurant sign before someone calls the police thinking there's suspicious activity in the neighborhood. ”

“ First time with my coworkers and we had a great fun. Because we were 17 they placed us in a separate room which made it great. The food was yummy and reasonably prices. Their desserts were particularly awesome and their service was great. I will surely be back and this time with the family. ”

“ Reasonable quality Japanese cuisine served in a beautifully preserved heritage building, offering a unique blend of authentic flavors and historic charm ”
