Both the food and the presentation are excellent! Even the yam tempura rolls are amazing, which you would think would be good anywhere but I've had some bad yam tempura rolls. This is a great option to even take people who don't eat seafood. They have some great non-seafood rolls. Sometimes the wait can be a bit long, but it's worth it. Try going right when they open.

In Vancouver you have plenty to choose from for sushi restaurants. I've been to many, some good some not so good, and some that you leave saying, that was really good. This place was really good with a wow in front of it. Toro tatami (seared tuna belly), salmon oshisushi (pressed sushi roll), and unagi ishirabe (eel, rice, seaweed mixed in a hot stone pot) were the items i devoured.
Rock star parking is tough to get, which i scored (it's all in the timing my friends). This place has won a few rewards for one of the best Japanese restaurants in Vancouver as well. The critics don't get them all right, but this one is. Give it a shot, it's worth a wait.

Sushi art, super tasty, very creative.
Seating can be kind of uncomfortable and there might be a line for dinner!

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here, although felt confined by the space and growing line of diners. Good: service; Better: presentation of all of the food; Best: delicious oshi sushi. Lots of innovative dishes and lovely presentation. $100 for dinner for 3 including a beer each.

OK it is possible that we have missed a sushi house somewhere, but Kishimoto prepares and presents stunningly perfect food. We started with Tempura season veggies and had several rolls and sushi. Excellent seasoning, fresh fish and presentation. I do prefer imported saki to the local and I think the smoked salmon in the specialty rolls overpowers the other ingredients.
If you have to wait, do wait, this is a great place to eat.
