One of the best sushi restaurants in town, they have amazingly fresh ingredients. There is always a wait so write your name on the sheet, go to the Five Point for a drink (across the street) and come back in half an hour. The wait is usually 45 min+. Come for the food, not the atmosphere.

This is the park where all the locals go to hang out. We like to get takeout on Main and bring a blanket for a picnic. They have a great community garden which is very popular in Vancouver.
