Reviews for Black Rice Izakaya in Vancouver, BC
I love the sukiyaki here it’s really good and pretty big portion. The staff are nice and friendly. Place is very clean. And I... like that they seat us right away even though we didn’t have reservations. Read more
Friendly servers but this place is not for my palate. Everything we ordered was on the sweeter side even the sauce soy. We... ordered Aburi Hakozushi platter, Black Mentaiko, Unagi Roll, and Sukiyaki with clear noodles. Read more
Overall ambiance was pretty decent, got the beef sukiyaki with poached egg and rice, the soup tasted good, but beef tasted... pretty unseasoned. Overall the dish was decent, not amazing but would be interested in perhaps coming back and trying somethingelse. Read more
A really fun vibrant vibe, small place with that classic Izakaya variety. The sashimi was fresh, flavourful and delicate. I... love squid, octopus and cuttlefish and I have it often - so the butter based Ikayaki was a treat. Opulently rich and creamy, itwas memorable. Service was very friendly and I appreciated the insight shared about the food. Not a cheap place but won’tbreak the bank if you’re looking for a nice meal. Read more
Where to start. First time here. Love the vibe.. such friendly and attentive servers. Everything we ordered ranged from pretty... damn good to complete and utter deliciousness. Soy sauce is world class. The sushi rice is perfection. And can we talk about themusic? There was chair dancing.. keep doing how you do. Will definitely recommend and be back ! Read more
Just stopped here for lunch. The best way to explain it is "underwhelming". Nothing tasted bad, everything tasted good. Just not... special. Also found it strange that they pre portion the amount of soy sauce you can have... Was disappointed in their sushiselection. Maybe 5 classic rolls? So personally, unless you're strapped for time and working out of CBC Studios, I woulddefinitely skip it. Read more
Hands down one the best sushi places in Vancouver. Friendly staff, nice vibes and quality food. Prices are a little more... expensive compared to other sushi places but keep in mind this is Izakaya, and the food has high quality. I always brings myfriends who are visiting from out of town, and they are all impressed. Read more
It wasn’t very busy on a Sunday night. Food was good, but in a way felt more like a restaurant than an izakaya, the atmosphere... wasn’t as vibrant as some others, maybe because it was more spacious and not as packed. Read more
