Ikoi Sushi - New Westminster

It's one of the best decisions food with nice service and with beautiful joyful happy environment

Based on the raving reviews I've seen on Yelp, I've been wanting to try this place for years. Today, my boyfriend and I finally ventured into the neighbourhood. It's quite rare to find a sushi place owned by Japanese in Greater Vancouver, so we were both excited to try some items here. We ordered the Tuna Trio, Fire Dragon Roll, Dragon Roll, and Ebi and Hotate Battera. The Tuna Trio was quite underwhelming in terms of flavour, and I found the fish to be slightly warmer than I preferred for sashimi. The Fire Dragon Roll had a nice smoky flavour from the unagi, and my boyfriend liked the slice of lemon on the Ebi Battera. Both rolls we got were quite small, but the taste is definitely better than your usual Sushi Garden varieties (also reflected in the price tag). Service is also quite good for a regular sushi joint. It would make a convenient meal for people living in this neighbourhood, but we probably won't be coming out of our way here anytime soon (especially with Victoria Sushi so close).

Cozy little spot, spread out tables and bright. Closed Mondays but was open on New Year Day which was nice. Gyoza came first, crunchier shell then typical soft doughy gyoza I've had. Nice change of pace. California roll will run you $6. Pretty standard, fresh tasting. The dream roll was very tasty, the rice was extremely sticky. Friendly staff and an overall nice experience. The food was neither outstanding nor poor; just a satisfying dinner.

I like this place. I'm very picky about my sushi. This is a legit Japanese owned restaurant unlike most of the sushi joints in the city. I believe it is family owned also as well. I've only ordered take out. They are always very friendly and polite on the phone. The sushi is very good, good size and properly done. The restaurant itself is quite small, maybe 5 or 6 tables? There is parking in the parking lot shared by other shops. Can't wait to be back............

A very nice hole-in-the-wall sushi restaurant worth trying. Besides the familial energy and service, we really enjoyed the different kind of dishes from traditional nigiri, their specialty rolls, especially the sakura flower shaped ikoi roll, and various tasty cooked dishes. They even have fried oysters, which is always a yummy treat, with its tender richness offset by a great crunch and natto roll, which is definitely worth a try at any sushi restaurant.
