We walked around Vancouver looking for excellent Japanese food and we found it! We eat a lot of Japanese food in Sydney and this was absolutely great. We really enjoyed how fresh every dish was and they arrived promptly. The service was excellent. I can not recommend this restaurant for an excellent, no fuss Japanese meal enough!

This will be our number one choice for Japanese food in Vancouver. With COVID, there business is huge in the takeout category, but we chose to go to their restaurant on Broadway. We loved reading the menu on-line, and were excited about so many things. We were not disappointed with any of our choices.
We were amazed to learn the entire staff is from Japan. We have traveled there, and loved all of our experiences. I don’t think they have a “sushi chef” who has completed the numerous years of training, but the chefs know what they are doing, and everything was delicious.
We wish we had bigger appetites because we wanted to order so many things. My husband is vegan, and had an abundance of choices. We shared edamame. We both had the yam roll, and the yam was crunchy , and that made the roll very special. They only serve organic brown rice, and natural food, and it is the first Japanese restaurant in North America to only serve organic vegetables. Regardless of this, the prices are very fair, and the portions are bigger than competitors. Our choices included: organic tofu/vegetable soup, crab roll, veggie cones, and what is mentioned above.
Eating Japanese food from Shizenja is an awesome experience. Lots of parking nearby. The green tea was wonderful, too.

I do not believe in Sushi with brown rice based on a bad experience in USA. Here we tried some rolls and found they were more than OK. Place cozy, staff attentive and overall it was a nice dinner. We had a pleasant time. Prices were very reasonable.

We walked by this tiny place and decided to give it a try. Outstanding service and amazing food. The sashimi melts in your mouth. We tried the fried eggplant in miso sauce, wow !

I've been going here since it first opened. Healthy fresh and delicious! I didn't like sashimi until I had it here. Their tuna is like butter, brown rice is delicious, lotus root with a hint of spice and salads with thin crispy garlic, yum!

Been here twice with friends and am yet to have a good experience. The second time we went as a large group but not even one person enjoyed their meal. The food was terrible and the portions small. Most of us were still hungry and the conversation after was where to go next and eat.

Healthy Japanese food using organic ingredients and making brown rice sushi and maki. Lots of options for vegetarians.
Very friendly service, delicious food, and a cozy atmosphere. Make reservations or be prepared to wait; seating is limited.

We love all the Japanese choices in Vancouver and find it more authentic than what you typically find in USA. Shizenya on Broadway is small but staff is very friendly. The restaurant was always full patrons as well as lots of people coming in for take out. The food tasted really fresh and loved all the gluten free and vegetarian options. Would love to try their restaurant on Hornby as well.

A friend invited me here for lunch and The food was so good I returned for dinner a week later. Excellent and creative sushi dishes, served with organic brown rice which gives everything a subtle nutty flavour. Great flavours!

We had a wonderful sushi lunch break and gave our feet a rest. It met our expectations for quick service and delicious food! We will return the next time we come to Vancouver!

Our experience at Shizen Ya on Broadway started with a friendly greeting from the charming staff. The service continued to be excellent throughout and the food was reasonably good. I liked the concept of the brown rice sushi and would definitely eat it again. Overall however I found the food to be a bit bland with an over-reliance on spinach and avocado.
