Hiko Sushi Japanese Restaurant

I never write reviews but I ordered from Hiko for the first time and absolutely had to get on here to show them some love. Wow! I ordered the Alaska and the Kiss Me roll and they were both the best sushi dish I’ve ever had.. and I’ve enjoyed many different sushi restaurants. Absolutely delicious, 10/10 will order from here from now on. The Kiss Me roll is next level delicious. Ordered takeout so can’t comment on service or atmosphere but food was incredible.

Not my absolute favourite place for sushi, but very good! Nigiri pieces are generously sized in the protein department. My husband ordered Teriyaki chicken and said it was very good. The Gyoza weren’t my favourite, but my husband thought they were better than our usual place, so you just can’t please all of the people all of the time. Décor here is very modern rustic, which I love, and the bathrooms were spacious and spotless; friendly service that isn’t too in-your-face or bothersome during the meal. The reason I won’t come back in awhile is that there are a LOT of other Sushi restaurant options in Abbotsford for me to try first.

It was a sunny Thursday afternoon when I walked through the doors of Hiko Sushi, my friend Cole and I had just finished a workout and needed some food; we were both craving sushi so we decided to go to the nearest one we could find. Hiko is located just off the Whatcom exit in Abbotsford, it’s a small restaurant with a relaxed vibe and modern decor. Our waitress kindly guided us to our seats and handed us menus—I ordered green tea and water to drink and began browsing the menu. Hiko Sushi serves a wide variety of Japanese food; I ended up ordering a $6.5 dynamite roll and $14 chicken teriyaki which is served with a miso soup. After only 11 minutes the food began showing up, first the miso soup; it was good, the flavour was sturdy with tofu and chopped green onions adding flavour and texture, however, it was nothing special just a standard miso soup. Next, the dynamite roll arrived, to say this was the best sushi roll I’ve ever had wouldn't be an understatement. The imitation crab was flavourful base, the deep-fried prawn gave the roll a crispy texture, the avocado and cucumber added freshness, the sum of rolls centre had all the needed ingredients without sacrificing the structural integrity of the roll, something other dynamite rolls struggle with. the nori was sturdy, and the rice was fluffy, topped with sesame seeds, most importantly it didn’t overpower the roll. The sauces were the M.V.P. of the roll, a sweet rich teriyaki sauce and a creamy nutty peanut mayo. This roll is a prime example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts, although the ingredients are top quality it is the synergy that makes this roll stand out. Last came the entrée, it was a fluffy Japanese white rice, savoury stir-fried veggies, and tender grilled chicken, which was the highlight of the dish; all this was topped with the delicious teriyaki sauce that was on the dynamite roll, however, there was too much teriyaki sauce, its sweetness overshadowed the other flavours of the dish. the portion size was large, and the dish was overall delicious. The sips of hot tea elevated the dining experience, it and pickled ginger cleansed my pallet in between each bite, allowing my taste buds to rediscover the flavours in every bite I took. As Cole put it. “Hiko Sushi made me feel like I was eating sushi for the first time. I was blown away with their service and their quality of food, not to mention how reasonably priced it was I recommend Hiko to any seafood/sushi lover in Abbotsford!” Overall, my experience at Hiko Sushi was delightful, the meal was filling and some of the best Japanese cuisine I’ve ever had, the food was also prepared in what felt like an instant and all for just over $25. With all this in mind, I would give Hiko Sushi five stars. It is a restaurant that I plan on visiting again as soon as I get a chance.

Great sushi and fantastic hosts! It's a very friendly place and they're quick making it a great place for a quick, healthy work lunch. Thanks again for an excellent lunch Hiko!

The new owner and chef are fantastic. There has been a significant improvement from the previous ones. The food is delicious and of excellent quality. I visit this restaurant once a week.
