What User likes about Kitaya Japanese:
Food was great, sakes are nice, staff very friendly. Overall one of our highlight in Vancouver! Make sure you try the plum wine, very delicious. They have several so choose wisely :) View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Kitaya Japanese:
6 of us went at around 5:30. It took 45 minutes to get food, and it all came at different times. Apparently it was busy but it wasn't full at all. The food was just okay, but good value. It is stinky due to being a small place. View all feedback.

Kitaya Japanese Restaurant offers a mix of experiences, from waiting for food at varying times in a slightly stinky environment, to enjoying great value meals, friendly staff, and delicious plum wine. The frequent highlights include large, quality sashimi, expertly prepared sushi, and flavorful dishes like chicken teriyaki. Despite the absence of gluten-free soy sauce, Kitaya Japanese stands out for its value, with a generous lunch box priced at $7.95. Whether dining solo or with friends, this understated gem in Vancouver promises a delightful Japanese culinary adventure that won't break the bank.
