  I went to eat here with very high expectations because according to google, this was one of the best sushis in Vancouver. Unfortunately the reality is completely different. In my opinion, fish was far from fresh, Sushi's are as regular as any other place in the world and there is usually a very big line to come in.
  
  Please avoid this restaurant if you are looking for a good sushi place. Go if you just want to eat regular stuff.

  I am delighted and surprised. Kishimoto is quite well known in Vancouver but it haven't make it to my eatery list until now. The restaurant doesn't look like any conventional sushi joint, but having constant line up tells another story. According to the hostess, there is an one hour average of waiting and weekend could be longer; but she assures me the wait is well worth it!
  
  Since we are looking at the chef preparing our meal, we are delighted on the amount of time and effort the chef has put in. Often times, we see the "master" will spot check the food and would take over to help out. As soon as our dishes are made, the chefs already move onto other orders.
  
  The little details also include their home made tamarind based soy sauce and other dipping condiments that go with certain dishes. The staff advises us which fish to start first and which dipping goes with which. We are no strangers to certain raw fish characters and happy to see the staff to spend the time to make introductions.
  
  Although constantly busy, the delicacy of the food and fast turnaround makes this subtle Japanese restaurant in the Commercial Drive area shines brighter than other fancier restaurants in Vancouver.

  Sashimi portion is tiny. Excellent okoyaki though. Service and speed was decent. Always crowded. Nothing spectacular about nigiri sushi however.

  Such good food and awesome service. Come early though because they are often very busy. Highly recommend the Osho rolls (especially the UNAGI)
