Ajishou Japanese Cuisine - Richmond

After dropping off my daughter to a cooking class, I needed a place to get dinner for myself. I ended up at Ajishou Japanese Cuisine. I had no idea how pricey the restaurant was. I walked in thinking, Most japanese restaurants have bento box deals, andif they don 't have that, they 're likely to have some kind of Donburi bowl that I could eat. Even just one or two rolls mightsuffice. Lo and behold...I opened up the menu and there were zero bento boxes on the menu. As I don 't eat meat, the onlyDonburi bowl that would have been OK for me to eat was the Unagi Don, but at $19.50 it was not my idea of an affordable Donburibowl. So then I took a look at the rolls. Wow, $7.95 for an Avocado roll! I love my Avocado rolls but...$7.95! Thankfully, Imanaged to find one option that would satisfy my tummy and my taste buds without hurting my wallet. I ordered a Tenzaru Soba for$13.95. It came with several pieces of tempura, some soba noodles and a dipping sauce for the noodles, complete with an egg(quail 's egg, I think . I 'd been itching to have zaru soba for awhile and heaved a happy sigh of contentment upon eating myTenzaru Soba. There are definitely lots of interesting  options on the menu at Ajishou. It looks like a nice place to go toif you 're looking to splurge. It just wasn 't really the best place for me, considering my situation that day. I just wanted amodest, tasty, affordable meal before going to pick up my child from an after school activity. I wouldn 't recommend the placefor anyone who 's on a budget. (Unless you 're happy to settle with Tenzaru Soba, like me! The Tenzaru Soba was good though, andthey do have very attractive looking items to choose from on the menu, so I would say that it 's definitely a place worthchecking out for a special occasion! Service: Good Parking: ????Free and plentiful Location: It 's part of the Central atGarden City complex where there 's a Walmart as well as many other shops and restaurants. Lansdowne Centre is a short driv

After the first try, then never wanna come back again, leaving a review for the reminder. They spent 40 minutes to prepare my lunch combo, while there is only me, one customer staying in the table to order food. And I went in there at 12:20, not rushedin at 2:30 if the chef need a rest. Turn out the Chicken Teriyaki is overcooked, the sauces and taste is burnt hhhh. Goodthings?the white rice is fine, others are mediocre and below average. Background music is fashion kpop. Come if you want, Iwon’t. Just speak out my experience.

It's a fave of some people and I can see why, although a hit and miss for me, for the price range....I expect more. Food and servings are alright and ambience is nice.

My wife and I come here quite frequently. The food is always fantastic and the service is prompt. I would say this is one of the more high end sushi restaurants in Richmond but you get what you pay for. The fish is always fresh and expertly prepared.

A premium quality sushi experience. The takeout was even wrapped in a cloth like bag. The hotate nigiri was juicy and sweet. The goose liver melted in your mouth. The uni was creamy and the salmon miso aburi was pretty and tasty. Also, the sushi rice was aperfect firm and chewy texture with the perfect amount of vinegar and sweetness. You do pay a bit more here, but the quality isthere.
