It is the śhit! I mean it negatively. The reviews are quite inconsistent, and I have been there once, and the quality is far far away (negatively) from it's past reputation.
Not that I have tried their high-margin/overpriced deluxe meals, but the place itself seems old and dirty.

tried some yrs back. normal to bad quality but extra diasppointing tampura. sloppy... plus it's not like price matching the quality, as u'd expect from Sumurai Sushi on Cambie / W 41st.作者: notgoddy 時間: 2008-7-15 22:19

the 2 restaurants are not related...at least not to my knowledge?
Yokohama belongs to $20-40/person price range but food-quality-wise not even comparable to Sumurai $5-15.作者: ACC-HE 時間: 2008-7-16 10:39
Just oysters with worm, (long time ago)
that's all.作者: notgoddy 時間: 2008-7-16 11:11
"that's all"
hehe, as if that soften the issues and make them look any better.
speaking of sushi places, there is this one place across from Metrotown on Kingsway that is quite good. Forgot what it was called, but they have Uni out of season, which I think is quite awesome as well as it was good.作者: AAC 時間: 2008-7-16 12:55
Sushi Garden ? It's operated by Korean.
Tried the YokoyaXX 3 years ago for a farewell party. The food quality was poor and I never come back. Can't believe after 3 years the poor quality standard is still maintained and they can still survive. What kind of customers they are serving ? no demanding ?作者: somewhereintime 時間: 2008-7-16 13:56
It was one of the older Japanese restaurant in Richmond, They cater to most Caucasian
market; then they had a makeover and sell high-end Wagu beef teppanyaki and spent a
high budget ad in 1320 morning show for a few month. They got shut down by local
health authority and no more good words about them. I tried once, more than enough.作者: 布小熊 時間: 2008-7-16 16:19

They are the best in the neighborhood. Japanese owner, chefs & servers. Good food but not cheap. Always crowded. Make sure you make a reservation before you go. You won't be disappointed.作者: PreciousMoment 時間: 2008-9-2 15:01
Went Ichiro with my husband last Friday, very yummy.... thanks you guys for sharing...We had delux chirashi don, chopped scallop roll, uni sushi assorted tempura, a soup (the one in kettle), grill saba, with tax & tips $65... reasonable and good stuff... So close to my home, will definitely come back again.
