Banzai Sushi
Massive portions, good value, their salmon is always fresh and on point due to very high turnover, tuna can be a mixed bag as occasionally it's semi-frozen (you can bring it up when ordering).
I especially like the imitation crab + mayo mix that they use for rolls, as well as the amount of masago they put in their chopped scallop.
My go-to: House roll (half), chopped scallop roll, negitoro roll, appetizer sashimi (salmon + tuna)
If you're looking for a slightly less casual sushi experience while retaining very good value, Sushi Lovers (Park Rd) is excellent
Honorable mentions: Matsuyama for their late-night menu, Gami Sushi for their spicy tuna and alaska rolls, Sushi Mura for their 'Tune On Fire' roll and ambiance to value ratio.. All of the above are in the $-$$ category.
I was hungry when writing this!

I’m also a fan of banzai but IMO kind of overrated now. There rice are so tangy or something, it’s so different from before. And their rolls are rice heavy so the taste is very noticeable.

I found Samurai on Fraser, Kamura across from Oakridge, and Sushi King House on Granville (Marpole) to be comparable. Unfortunately all in Vancouver but Marpole is closer to me than Steveston area so 🤷♂️
They’re all fist sized Banzai style sushi

Richmond is such a foodie destination. It’s hard for a good, cheap restaurant to stay underrated and under the radar for long. Word gets out.
Yah yah ramen is my fav for decent, inexpensive ramen in Richmond. No lines whenever I go. I prefer it over Aberdeen’s Ramen Takanotsume which is also good but never hit me with the wow factor, despite its high rating on the ramen tier list.

No, the line's long enough.

Register via the website first before heading out ( say 30 min ) / or go right away when they open …

My wife and I have dinner between 5 and 6 pm, which is outside of the usual East Asian dining hour of 7 pm, so we rarely have issues with waiting. This routine typically helps us secure seats wherever we go, including Uno Beef.

Yep, but a 6" Super Sub hot off the grill would blow any competition today if it was in the here and now.

Firehouse Subs is way better imo. But not in Richmond.

u/__Mike__Hawk 1d ago
Have you ever had a Bob's Super Sub? That place was so niche and the Korean couple that owned it were good people. It kinda reminds me of Bon's Off Broadway in Vancouver, only less messy.
