Kilala Sushi Bar - Burnaby, British Columbia

Been awhile since we’ve been back to Sushi Bar Kilala. Great quality and still run by the same Japanese couple. Grabbed takeout on a busy Saturday. Made our own party tray; unatama ($7.25), negi saba shiso ($7.25), dynamite ($6.25), negitoro ($5.25), negihama ($5.25), California ($5.25), umeshiso ($4.25) and kanpyo ($4.00). Also ... ordered salmon sashimi ($21.75), saba battera ($15.50) and chicken udon ($11.50). Sushi was fresh and satisfying. Favourites were the negitoro and unatama. Saba roll/pressed sushi were also fantastic. Read more

A tiny and subtle Japanese sushi restaurant along East Hastings offering mostly sushi, sashimi and party tray options. It was a pleasant dinning experience with slightly above average food, given the price is also reasonable, until some loud people came in. Unfortunately the table settings are so close and our ... ears were suffering from the ambient noise made by inconsiderate people. Read more

Kilala offers super fresh sushi at reasonable prices. Eat in is nothing fancy and service is very polite reminiscent of my time in Japan. There is maybe 2 parking spots available in a very tight awkward underground parking (best to find street parking). The japanese creme caramel ... is a must try if they have it available. Read more

Sushi Bar Kilala has a reputation for being a hidden gem in Burnaby. They are known for serving high quality, authentic sushi at affordable prices. There's not a lot of cooked food on the menu, and there are those who skip over the cooked food altogether as it's the nigiri ... sushi and sashimi that truly shine at this restaurant. I didn't actually try any of the fish on this visit as I opted to go vegetarian, but my friend was with me and she ordered several rolls with raw fish in them. The rolls were very impressive looking, not overly packed with rice and the fish was very fresh. For myself, I ordered one Avocado Nigiri, one Inari Nigiri and an Avonegi roll. The avocado filling was generous which I always like to see, and beautifully colored. There's nothing so frustrating as seeing avocado that has started to turn black and lose its beautiful green color. What really impressed me was the Avonegi roll. Before I became Pescatarian, for many years I used to love ordering Negitoro rolls when I went to Japanese restaurant. It's tuna belly with green onion. The Avonegi was an avocado roll with green onion. It may sound like a very simple roll, but I have never seen Avonegi roll offered anywhere else. I was elated to see this item on the menu and even more so to discover how much I enjoyed eating it. With the Avonegi roll, I really don't miss my negitoro roll anymore and now I wish that every Japanese restaurant would put an Avonegi roll on their menu! Service: Good Parking: Free parking at the back of the restaurant Location: 4749 Hastings St., Burnaby, BC Read more

We came here for dinner on a snow day right at 4:30pm when they opened. Nobody else came in to dine with the roads being so terrible. There were some take out orders which happened while we were there so I was happy that the couple had some business. It ... was our first time eating here and everything we had was very fresh and tasty. The spicy salmon roll is the best I have ever had here at this restaurant! The sashimi salad was surprisingly really nice. The salad dressing and fresh greens really complimented the fresh seafood. I will definitely be eating here again. Read more
