Sushi Gami Review

We ordered a few specialty rolls and were surprised that they all tasted good! The rolls actually stayed in shape, which doesn't often happen at a lot of places.

The assorted tempura was fried nicely and had a nice "soft" crunch.

We also ordered some sushi pieces and they all tasted very fresh.

Price is decent and service was okay. It's also nice and cozy in terms of atmosphere. Will be back for sure.

Our new favorite sushi restaurant. Beautiful creative menu (try the tempura sweet potato encrusted ebi, but not the beef tataki), quality fresh seafood and surprisingly at a reasonable price, that is, if you do not drink sake ($32!). Bonus, 10% discount for takeout.

My daughter took me there for dinner. Gami Sushi has no reservation with line up. They have lots of variety of sushi with nice presentation. They cleared your empty dish quick.
The only thing that made me upset was they gave us our bill while we were still eating. 10 minutes later, they asked if we were ready to pay bill while our food was not finished. Why not set a rule for maximum time 30 - 45 minutes per table.

Gami sushi is the best bang for bucks when it comes to sushi in Richmond! Food tastes great for a super reasonable price. I recommend getting take outs because the restaurant is always packed during lunch and dinner time.

Your typical sushi place: quick service, familiar dishes. Tempura nicely done: light, crisp batter coating. Miso soup served hot, which may decrease the nutritional benefits but, so what, it was tasty. Sushi rice a touch too cool and stiff for this diner's taste; supple is better. In and out in 40 minutes at lunch.

Great deal for the bento and sushi. Especially during this time when take out is 10% off. The only drawback is long wait for food usually over 30 mins after order during weekend.

Great food but sometimes its too busy to be seated. The waiting area is very small so we usually just leave.

Food here is great and their customer service is top notch. worth the time to wait as the place is always full pack

Good decent Japanese food served quite fast. Friendly staff!

Very good Sushi, relatively inexpensive. One of the rare places open between 3 and 5 in Richmond. Very nice special rolls. We eat there every week

This is my go to place for sushi when I either want to eat in or take out. Always recieved quick and friendly service while the food always tastes great. This is one of the best value you can get for your money!

Typically always a line up around lunch time and for good reason the food is good, not too expensive and quick. Will be back again.

Good sashimi, the teriyaki was mediocre. A splash of teriyaki sauce on top of white rice.

Very good selection of Japanese food and great service, call ahead it get really busy.

So reliable. I brought a friend from Victoria that was craving Vancouver sushi, and I knew Gami wouldn t let me down. My friend got three rolls and I got a katsu donburi. Yum!

Always a solid place to get sushi if you live in the neighbourhood and even if you live further away it s still worth the trek. Gami Sushi is Korean-owned and operated, so you do see the influences here and there, like the stone bowls they serve katsudon out of. That obviously doesn t take away from their wide variety of rolls that are generally very creative while staying reasonably priced. You can eat on a budget or splurge like a king on some of the more expensive rolls. There s something for every price point.

Popcorn attack roll is good for those who can t eat raw fish, unagi tempura roll is a surprisingly affordable luxury option at $4.95, the fried california rolls are delicious. With prices like these, you can t exactly expect the rolls to be rolled super tight, but you can at least guarantee that they won t fall apart unless prodded at.

Best to stay away from the donburi/rice bowls (except the bibimbap) as well as the udon since they re not this place s bread and butter. Hot plates have more bean sprouts than protein so that s always disappointing. Everything else however is worth trying especially some of the more unusual items like sushi pizza and the seared tuna with coconut and crunchy bits.

Service is polite and generally quick, but can suffer a little when they get busy.

Honestly one of my fav places to eat just wish prices were a tad bit lower

Great food! Tried the black dragon and snow dragon rolls, chopped scallop cone, okonomiyaki and nabeyaki udon. They do not skimp on ingredients, every part of our meal was loaded and delicious. Loved the udon (soup was good, ingredients fresh, shrimp was peeled and cooked perfectly), okonomiyaki was okay (bit too oily that night, think more Korean seafood pancake than okonomiyaki). An excellent sushi joint for those specialty (saucy) rolls.

ps. I ate here two nights in a row! Hahaha

Love this place great food only complaint is it usually is busy... I guess everyone knows it's great lol

Busy lunch spot; reasonably priced. About what one would expect (good but not great)

used to be great food and services but not anymore. we were waiting for an hour to get a table of 8 one time. so we decided to take out on our next occassion . it was 11am but when we dropped off our sushi tray (I'm a green person) and picked up the food a few hours later, the waitress was very rude to us - no smile, no thank you or wait, just hand the food to us and turned around. it seems the business is so good that the waitress does not care us anymore :(

Great price fast service. Even better now you can order online

DELICIOUS food! Good collection of sushi and sashimi. Very friendly staffs and great services..

Very original and delicious sushi place. Though the restaurant is very busy, the servers are very patience and polite. What's more impressive is your orders will be placed onto your table in a blink of an eye.

Fantastic selection of sushi. Always super organizated and friendly staff. Always go back!

Food was ok. Maybe it was because I picked up right before closing, but ... It wasn't bad, but I wasn't impressed either.

Korean tun sushi house. Many special rolls. If you are looking for fancy style of sushi then this is the place.

Food is well priced. Quality is good, and it shows. It's impossible to get a seat without a reservation on the weekend.

Authentic Japanese cuisine restaurant. When we arrived we had people waiting in a queue outside the restaurant to get a table, even in the rain. The restaurant has a simple solution for the people waiting for a table. They have a white board where you can leave your name and number in the order of arrival and you can go around the mall minding your business. When your turn comes the restaurant will call you (only local numbers) to inform the same and you can come back to be seated. The sushi/sashimi are fresh and of very good quality. Weekends can get really busy and the restaurant closes by 10pm. So arrive early and enjoy your dinner.

This is my favorite one! Foods are fresh, delicious with reasonable price!!! Service is okay but I understand because it is busy restaurant. Five star! Here you go.

Been here a couple times for dinner with SO and the two little ones. Fast, not too expensive and I'm very satisfied with quality for the price. Busy but not too long a wait. There's a couple Korean dishes too.

Food and service here was fantastic. Was led to Gami Sushi by our so who frequents the place with his friends because the portions are big enough to share without breaking the bank. Important for high-school kids and parents alike. We ordered the beef teriyaki hotplate and the spicy Udon in soup. Amazingly delicious food!

Should've known as my son is usually a picky eater but wow!

The food was hot and fresh. My wife usually complains that her soups are not usually hot but this time she was happy from the get-go. The flavour of the teriyaki was bang on. Wife thought it was too sweet but combined with the Nanami-Togarashi seasoning, it was perfect. The veggies in the dishes perfectly balanced the meal both in quantity and flavour. The tea they serve is delicious and the teapot they serve it in keeps it nice and hot. My only complaint is that the teapot is very small and does not yield many servings - and oversight easily corrected by the servers who refill it frequently.

I was supposed to take photos of the food bur completely forgot because I was so enjoying it. Next time I go, I eill rake some.

The price was decent for the quality and quantity of food to be had in our order. We paid around $40.00 including taxes for three large dishes that left all of us completely satisfied.

The facility itself is cozy and comfortable. Nice, clean wooden tables, mixed with dark and muted Asian decor make the place a nice place to sit and eat. We went there at around 1730 hours and by the time we sat down to eat (12 minutes from the time we walked in, to the time our food arrived ) the restaurant filled up. It is not around very large place and it is very popular. I could see around three or four booths that can sit 6-8 people and seven to ten tables that can sit anywhere from 1 to 6 people.

They provide take-out and that part of the business seems huge. While eating I must have seen around at least 40 people come and pick-up or order take-out. That did not take away from my experience however as the staff work quietly, quickly and efficiently.

My son says that he's seen the line to get in, go around the building - around 20 to 30 parties waiting to get in and eat. There is a wait-list that you must sign, detailing how many people in your party. That day, There was an extra page of people signing in, waiting to get in.

Look up the busy times in Google before you go. Once there and eating, you will not be disappointed.

Bon-apetit!

Great place to go for sushi, their special rolls are always the best. I recommend the Gami Roll, the popcorn roll, and rainbow roll! Too bad the line up is quite long during lunch and dinner hours, but it does go by at a relatively good pace within 20 min or so

Hands down the best Sushi in Richmond if not Vancouver, staff is friendly, prices are great and the food comes fast... eat here!

the best quality sushi in Richmond for reasonable price

Great, cheap sushi. If you go during supper hours then you will have to wait for a table.

One of the best places for sushi always busy, but the staff are always friendly.

Extremely dissapointed. Waited an hr for my take out order. The sushi did not taste fresh had a fishy smell . The takoyaki did not have octopus tastedn like fried dough . They ran out of salmon but had salmon roll. The chef must be colour blind becsuse it was a mix of tuna and salmon which my kids do not like tuna I will not be going back again.

Excellent sushi and quick and efficient service! No complaints!

The sashimi was super fresh and the seafood pancake is delicious. I didn't care for the veggie sunomono.

The waiting area is a little small but we were seated right away. Arrived at 330pm it wasn't too busy. Great layout and atmosphere. We ordered the Alaskan roll, house roll (amazing highly recommended this roll), boneless crab, and nigiri. The food was great and arrived promptly, service staff were really busy but attentive and fast. I could see this place during dinner time or later being really backed up, so arrive early.

The servers are so RUDE! Last time we were trying to order take out but the staff hang up the phone on my face twice. This time the food is not even half finished and the food is still in my mouth, the server asks me if I'm done with my food. we are shocked and isn't it obvious we are still eating?? Ok then, the server just throw the bill on our table, just like she wants to kick us out. To be honest, I don't wanna tip any thing for this kind of service, but I still give 10% because I am nice. I will NEVER EVER go to this place again, and I rather drive all the way to Burnaby if I want sushi.

Water was extremely hydrating, and left little to no after taste. I'd also suggest the tempura. 10/10

Good Service definitely will come back for visit again

Always busy but good to order to-go sushi, discpubts on $20 or more take out order...good reason why it's popular.

Nice atmosphere, decent prices and good sushi. Definitely best spot for sushi in Richmond.

Super fast service! Unique rolls and tasty. Order in person as calling in for take out takes forever to get through.

I enjoyed my lunch, between the 3 of us we tried an assortment of items, everything was delicious. We will be returning.

Staff are very friendly, Although price is cheap, food is very good no matter size and taste.

Korean run Japanese restaurant. Portions are above average, good value, average taste, great presentation, trendy menu items, use nice serving dishes.

The waitress felt particularly anxious about where to go when ordering. When miso soup comes, it feels like the thumb is soaking in the soup. Not hygienic. The taste is also average. Richmond is no good sushi place.

It was ok. Long wait times but good food. Great service

Efficient service and delicious food! Excellent rolls and udon, and the fried oysters were amazing.. definitely coming back again

Waited for more than an hour and gave the seat which was given to us by another waitress to someone else because boss said so. Food is okay but long line ups and attitude is really bad.

Never come again!!!!!
If I have a choice, I would give no star.

This is one of the good sushi with cheap price place. The place is small and you often need to wait for 30mins for a table but it worths the waiting. It has speciality rolls that with many sauces but they all match together to provide you a good taste of new sushi roll. The only complain is the teapot is very heavy...

Some of the best sushi in Richmond with varying price ranges; some of it very cheap. Sometimes busy, but service is sometimes surprisingly quick, and always friendly and accommodating.

Great addition to our neighborhood. Always bustling and always fresh. Great signature spicy sauce and the best gomae!! Extra care for kid customers, dine in or take out.

One of my go-to sushi places. Gami sushi has a great selection of specialty rolls and appetizers to choose from. The pricing is very good and the service is quick. However, there can be a longer wait for larger groups during peak times.

They have the best quality and taste for low price sushi. Very good value. It is always packed here so avoid rush hours.

Looked closed from outside, was busy and vibrant inside, very pleasant find

Excellent. Had a 6pm reservation. Took our dinner order immediately. Was ready in about 5 minutes, we were shocked at the speed given it was a completely full house. Quality was easily 10/10 unbelievable given the speed of service also. Server was very good too.

Wow, busy place, was there at 5:20pm in. Saturday, and there was a lineup! Had to wait about 1/2 hour for 3 person table. Definitely worth the wait though. The Sashimi was so fresh! Reasonably priced, and the service was pretty good considering how busy it was. Will definitely be back, going to try the lunch next, the bento boxes are less expensive then most places

As a vegetarian I have been here a couple of times with my girlfriends and have been so impressed with the service and the food. Everyone is so friendly. I ordered the miso soup which is the best I ve had, the seaweed salad is sooo good as it says in the menu that it comes with cucumber and avocado(which I was hesitant about) and it was such a perfect combination of flavours and texture. I love there Inari because other places serve it cold but here it was room temperature-so delicious. My favourite roll is the vegetable tempura roll..with a side of the spicy mayo. The vegetable roll is so good too. The edamame is a nice appetizer too-be careful it comes steaming hot.
The only downside is the wait sometimes can go up to 15 minutes if it s a busy night..but it s definitely worth the wait!!

They also have amazing green tea and mango ice cream-not super sweet but so flavourful!

Good Japanese food which is priced well and portioned. Good service but table settings arrive as you are seated. Utensils just left on the table...

It's my first time to visit this place; it was around lunch time and there's a wait. A good sign that the place is good. Overall, great place for sushi. Good quality and reasonably priced.

The place is clean and not too loud. There is a veggie tray with no meat options. Overall great food and great customer service

Very good reasonably priced family be prepared to wait in line

Crowded place with awesome sushi! There's option for vegetarian too!
