Sushi Masuda · Restaurant · Vancouver
A one-Michelin-star, six-seat counter hidden downtown, where chef Yoji Masuda channels his Ginza training.
Sushi Masuda took Vancouver's only new Michelin star in 2024, and its chef-owner won the Guide's Young Chef Award the same year, a lot of accolades for a six-seat counter most people walk right past.
Finding it is half the story. Sushi Masuda is tucked into the corner of Oceanic Plaza at 1066 West Hastings, reached through glass doors near a print shop and deliberately low-key, in the downtown financial core steps from the waterfront and Gastown. Chef Yoji Masuda is a Vancouver native who apprenticed at the two-Michelin-star Sushi Yoshitake in Ginza before coming home.
The meal follows a classic edomae shape: four or five otsumami, or small appetizers, to open, then 10 to 12 pieces of nigiri, with soup along the way. Pricing runs 320 dollars per person. There is no spectacle here, just supply-chain discipline and knife work, and the draw is the quality of the fish and the progression itself.
Booking is the challenge. Reservations open on the 1st of each month at 5:00 PM Pacific for the following month, and with only six seats, dates can go quickly, especially on weekends.
