Unexpectedly cheap priced sushi restaurant, considering it's in the middle of downtown! An old, casual dine-in place good for lunch, take-out, or snack. The portion was really big compared to what we paid for. The freshness of the fish was OK, but the food tasted alright in general, and the Asian staff were friendly.

At first we were a bit intimidated by the auntie waitress who never smiles, but she definitely cares about the food, because when we pay for the bill and complimented on the food, she finally smiled(。>∀<。)Back to the sushi itself. The rolls are super inexpensive, but of great quality. BC roll is filled with freshly boiled salmon, and the avocado in California roll is fresh. Husband got the bento box, generous serving of assorted tempura and teriyaki beef.

Our favorite local place to get sushi. Amy is the best!Great food and great value. Come here if you’re looking to feed a small army or looking for a hole in the wall place with good food. Favorite: spicy combo B and the bento boxes

Not the worst sushi but not the best. Quality of the fish was good but hardly enough seaweed to wrap around the roll. We ordered takeout and were disappointed in the amount soy sauce/wasabi provided. Great prices 👍

If been here twice. It’s not very nice looking on the inside which is too bad. I’m sure they’d get more business if they cleaned it up. But the sushi is cheap and the man that works here is very kind!

It is a typical place for cheap sushi. They all taste the same, so if you want a quick bite for a decent price, you cannot go wrong here. It is on the oily side with the tempera and teriyaki dishes, and I found myself a little thirsty afterwards, so you have to be prepared for that.

Low price, high quality, and the hot foods are true Japanese Izakaya quality (the karaage!!). You know the authenticity of a sushi place by the matcha ice cream, and this place is not afraid to stay true to the bold anti-American flavors of the home country!!!

Staff was attentive as the place was empty when we got there. I ordered a bento box and was amazed at the low price . Quantities were just enough and my entire dinner was under $10 plus tip. Decor was rustic. I was there for the food. I'll go back! When we finished our meal, every table was full!

This is the best sushi place I have ever been to. I've been to Sushi restaurants all over greater Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Qatar, LA, and other places. Nothing compares to Jako's. And the problem with that is, I cannot eat Sushi anywhere else, nor do I care to try another place. They need to expand into Surrey. Excellent price, friendly service and the best spicy Tuna sushi you can find. This had been my go-to place for that past 10 years. I highly recommend it.

I wish I could give zero stars. Terrible service. Terrible food. You'll wait more than an hour for a single roll to be prepared. Avoid avoid avoid.Update: The table next to us just found a mouse running around the place.

I'm not from Vancouver but I make a point to eat at Jako Sushi every time I am in town. Their product is always fresh and prepared with care. They have a number of unique rolls such as the Jako roll. The service is always top notch and the guy there is super friendly. I highly recommend the Crazy roll. They must call it the Crazy roll because it's crazy good!! :) Do yourself a favor and visit Jako!!

The food was definitely good. The service was fast and over all I did not pay much. However I can’t go over the fact that the windows were extremely dirty. If you ever use the washroom do jot wash your hands! Yes it is that dirty.

This place sells good/quality for a VERY reasonable price. I can feed 2 people with 20$ and that's with a generous tip included or 10$ a person. I'm gonna continue to support this business! Cheers!

This place is all about value. It is one of the cheapest sushi restaurants in Vancouver. So because of that, it is not the most beautiful looking restaurant nor does it have the greatest service. But the food is awesome for the price. You can easily pay 40% more for the same quality at many places in Vancouver. I'm a big fan of this place and will continue to go for as long as they are open.

Classic local Japanese joint. Reliable, always delicious and great value. Service and decor is not up to what Canadians would expect, but I kind like that about it, it's a bit more chilled out.

The food was good & the menu was reasonably priced. However, service was lacking & the interior was dark unorganized. Hand written menu items all over the walls & window were unattractive & distracting. Restrooms also need attention.
