Best Japanese Restaurants in Kerrisdale

We had a fantastic dinner. The staff took excellent care of us, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was both lively and cozy.

Fantastic service. Arrived as the restaurant was opening and everything was clean and organized. A great experience!

Our server Kim was absolutely delightful in getting our lunch orders and offering dish suggestions. Her diligence in service was quite extraordinary making sure we always had water and tea and all was well. We will certainly be coming back and we hope to get Kim as our server again.

It's not my first time here, always enjoyed the food, drinks and service . . I love Okini that I would come here alone occasionally. My friend wanted to go to somewhere nice for Christmas, so I brought her here to celebrate and we are still talking about how delicious the food was! The whole place was stunning . . decked out in Christmas decorations!! They went all out that the Tree almost touched the ceiling. . For drinks, we ordered from their seasonal menu .. As someone who is a sucker for details, my drink came in an ornament glass!! It was super adorable and festive and it made everything merry and jolly. For food, we got beef carpaccio, xo vongole, the hayashi beef and the pudding for dessert. My friend and I loved everything. . granted she is Italian and she actually loved the pasta, that speaks volume.. . As for me, this is my first time trying tye beef carpaccio because I don't like eating raw meat . .but surprisingly the beef carpaccio was delicious! I would not have guessed it was raw because it was very flavourful.. . for the vongole ... highly recommend adding a bowl of mushroom rice towards the end so you can inhale every drop of the sauce because it's that good! Hayashi beef was super tender and delicious. . cozy vibes!! The server was very attentive, always checked on us and made sure our water is always refilled. I don't think we had to ask for more water at all. . . Highly recommend anyone who is curious (especially if you are a sucker for details)!!

Never disappointed at dining. Delicious food, artistic presentation, created with fresh ingredients in such a way to enhance freshness, texture and flavour of each ingredient. Personable service, with care and courtesy. It’s more than just enjoying good food. It’s truly experiential dining. Pleasure to all senses.
