What Pablo Vera doesn't like about Shizen Ya:
Brown rice sushi turns out not to be my thing, however if you like mushy sushi with little to no flavour this is your place . Overpriced and overhyped, consider going to 711 for sushi before here. Also the staff was pretty lack lustre. I for one understand a job is a job and that life happens but one should never feel like they are inconveniencing a waitress by placing an order. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk . View all feedback. What Tim L likes about Shizen Ya:
We went here for dinner as drop-ins . We were just walking down Hornby and looking for a quiet place to eat. This place delivered and more. Service was friendly and attentive ut not too so. The vegetarian entrees were especially good. A green roll both tasted and looked great. Prices were reasonable and sushi while not over the top was satisfying. View all feedback.

Very fresh fish, great service. I like that they use brown rice and organic vegetables. They also have gluten free options. Love it.
