Kishimoto was recommended as the best sushi on The Drive — we weren't disappointed by the food quality. Super tasty, fun (if, perhaps, a little over-the top) presentation and a bustling happy crowd.

We waited ~ 20-30 min for our table and once we sat down were served and subsequently excused very, very quickly. We would have eaten more and likely had dessert had they not rather abruptly provided the bill.

That to say, the food was yummy and I would probably go back for a tasty and chill sushi dinner.

Our party of 7 arrived 430 to be first on line waiting for opening at 5pm, followed by a long line after us.

Excellent sushi: cured smoked salmon, crispy burnt crust, fatty tuna marinated sashimi. Osaka-style pancake of crushed veggies excellent.

Sashimi seemed coming from defrosted fish; most other fancy looking sushi taste about the same, tempura so-so.

Overall, quite excellent, suited to the young unsophisticated crowd.

We went to Kishimoto on a recommendation and we're glad we did. The sashimi was really fresh and tasty. The salmon teriyaki was fantastic as was the black cod.

I have visited this restaurant a couple of times in the past, the sushi is very tasty.... But in Vancouver when excellent sushi restaurants are abundant, I do not understand where they get off treating customers like they should feel privileged to even be seated in the restaurant.
The last time I went there (and I mean the very last because I won't go back), we put our name down on the waiting list and asked how long it would be before the table was ready, and we were informed it would be an hour. We said OK, and that we would go down the street to get a drink. The hostess followed us out the door and yelled at us in front of a bunch of other customers "If you don't stand outside I will cross your name off the list!"
Needless to say, we left. No one deserves to be treated like that.
More recently I walked by and saw their "wait list rules" posted with all of the rules. Seriously?? What happened to customer service?
Try any other Sushi place in Vancouver.

Located away from the main tourist part of town, this sushi restaurant has very fresh and high quality sushi. My wife and I tried several rolls as well as some of their ice cream and everything was great. Service was quick.
