The 5 Best Sushi Restaurants In Vancouver According To One Of The City's Top Chefs
Check out these drool-worthy picks! 🍣
If you're looking for the best sushi restaurants in Vancouver, it's your lucky day.
One of the city's top chefs, Kazuhiro Hayashi, gave Narcity the inside scoop on where to go for some amazing sushi.
Vancouver offers some of the finest and freshest sushi places around and was even ranked the top city for sushi lovers in the entire world — outside of Japan, of course.
Hayashi is the executive chef at one of Vancouver's most beloved sushi restaurants, Miku.
He is originally from Kyoto, Japan, starting his career in Canada first as a dishwasher in a sushi restaurant and building his path all the way to head sushi chef.
The Miku website says he drew inspiration from his father throughout his career and brings an "inherent creative and artistic flair to the Miku team."
Not only does the food look absolutely mouth-watering and high quality at the restaurant, but it also has stunning views of the ocean.
When Chef Hayashi is not at Miku or cooking at home, he can also be found at Miku's sister restaurant, Minami.
Narcity was lucky enough to get his opinion on the best sushi finds in the city — which he enjoys when he is not at his own restaurant, of course.
