Aside from the food being delicious, the restaurant itself is very nice, the service is good, and you can see the sushi being made. They accommodated my gluten-free diet so easily, without even a blink of an eye. It's clear they know what they're doing. Great sushi, will be coming again! EDIT: went again, the tobiko roll is really good! The staff is so warm and friendly :

After a bit of searching on Google, my husband chose Uma Sushi . It's a small and quiet restaurant, only about half a block away from the busyness of Cambie St. With a 4.5 star rating on Google, it sounded like a very promising restaurant so we were very much looking forward to this meal. Featured here: Unagi Donburi Aburi Sushi Assorted Sashimi Baked Scallop Air Fried Prawn Tempura Takoyaki Avocado Roll Dynamite Roll Scallop Mayo Sushi Donut Tuna Lover Sushi Donut Saba Oshi Ingredients were fresh and everything was nicely prepared; however, given the high ratings this place has received, we were honestly a bit disappointed with this place. While we couldn't really find fault with the food, we just weren't blown away by it either. Their sushi donuts were visually stunning but when it came to eating them, they tasted quite ordinary and handling them was a bit of a challenge. Just my own personal opinion: Perhaps air frying them into Yaki sushi donuts might have made them easier to handle and given them a bit more flavor as well? Aburi Sushi was good but we felt that we'd actually had better Aburi elsewhere, at restaurants with lower ratings. Service: Good Parking: Paid parking on the street Location: 450 West 8th Ave., Vancouver

The menu is accessible via QR code, but physical menus can be provided upon request. There is a fair amount of variety for each type of food they serve, donburi, appetizers, nigiri and sashimi, combos, and rolls. There are also daily specials on a chalkboard near the front door. The sashimi don, tamanagi roll, and salmon and avocado roll were delivered promptly upon ordering and the presentation was clean and simple. The sashimi was recently fresh and the texture of each piece was great. The rolls had a fair amount of fish inside and held together when picked up and dipped in soy sauce. We stayed for about 45 minutes and the staff did not rush anybody out. Would recommend for a casual meal of good quality.
