Kishimoto · Restaurant · Vancouver
The Commercial Drive sushi room locals line up for - Osaka technique, West Coast fish.
Kishimoto is the Commercial Drive sushi room that Vancouver locals will happily line up for, serving precise, seasonal Japanese cooking without the downtown price tag. That combination makes it one of the best-value serious meals in the city, and a favorite of people who eat out often. Open since 2011, it is a small, warm room led by chef-owner Akira Kishimoto, originally from Osaka.
Kishimoto works with a deep respect for Japanese tradition but is not afraid to bend it, plating with real artistry and leaning hard on local, seasonal ingredients pulled from the West Coast. The kitchen is best known for its oshizushi, or pressed sushi, and its chirashi, alongside fresh nigiri and hand-rolled maki, plus hot dishes like okonomiyaki and udon and an ever-changing run of seasonal tempura and gom
