Victoria Sushi - Queensborough

Service is good. Servers are friendly. Food is great!

We arrived just after the restaurant had opened its doors for business at 11:30 am — we found nearby street parking (it’s 2 hour free street parking in the area). <br/ <br/ Upon entering, the restaurant looked very small, with only a few tables arranged around the perimeter, but after settling into one of the tables, it became apparent that is was larger than originally thought — more tables hidden from our view, to the left of the service counter, and behind (we saw two larger groups with reservations being shown to these areas, but did not actually see the setups).  We liked the ambiance of the place quiet, nicely lighted by natural light from outside, darker, warm colours, and all and enjoyed looking over to the open kitchen at times, and watching the chef’s doing their thing.  We were their first customers of the day, but quickly followed by others by 12 noon, this part of the restaurant was basically full, except for stool seats at the bar in front of the kitchen.                 <br/ <br/ Service was warm and friendly, helpful (when ordering), and nicely attentive — the two servers at the time, kept in contact to know how we were enjoying everything, and always ensured our water glasses and tea mugs were kept full.  <br/ <br/ What was ordered and shared:<br/ — Agedashi Tofu — Assorted Tempura (prawns, veggies) — Fish Tempura (listed as ‘Snapper’ on menu, but as ‘Basa’ on bill) — Assorted Sashimi — Dynamite Roll Combo.<br/ <br/ Nice presentations, top quality preparations.  Tofu sweet creamy, with an ultra light, crispy coating and when dipped into the flavourful sauce, was so tasty.  The assorted tempura consisted of prawns, yam, sweet potato, squash, and green beans light, crispy coatings, and ingredients cooked to perfection sweet, and flavourful.  The fish tempura was a major delight I had ordered the large size, and was so glad I did, it provided good portions for each of us, and the dish was so well prepared coatings light and crispy, the fish flesh, soft and moist the fish sat on a bed of fresh crispy lettuce, with a touch of a light and flavourful sauce to say the least, a very tasty, and much enjoyed dish.  Sashimi was for daughter and I, and we thoroughly enjoyed it ingredients were pretty, cool, sweet, and tasty.  The dynamite roll combo fresh, quality ingredients, so well prepared the rolls were mostly for Mom, and she loved them daughter and I did the sushi, and found the offerings fresh and sweet.<br/ <br/ Victoria Sushi provided a much enjoyed dining experience.  Location, ‘cool’ ambiance, good service, and such quality food presentations and preparations, it gets the best rating I can give, and well deserves it!!

Make sure to order the aburi sushi if you come here! Their aburi is better than most, if not all the restaurants in Vancouver that speciaize in aburi sushi. You will pay a bit more than your usually sushi spot but you are paying for the quality. Parking can be a bit hard to find so be aware.

Oshi sushi is on point here ! everything we had was a hit: salmon oshi, scallop oshi, and the red snapper tempura (the roll in the middle was tasty too but I forget it's name). The restaurant isn't very aesthetic but if you're going for the oshi experience then go for it !
