Ajishou - Richmond, British Columbia

First lunch visit today. We ordered the sashimi set and chirashi don set. I feel it’s a restaurant focuses more on quantity and variety than quality. Decent portion with miso soup, salad and fruit as part of the set. Miso soup is quite salty. It does have seaweed and tofu ... in the miso soup. The sashimi set includes tempura, which I feel is the least favorite item. Very greasy and I only managed to try the prawn tempera. The sashimi is okay. Nice decor. Service is okay. Read more

Visited on Sunday March 3 at around 1PM. I didn't expect much, as this place only has a 3.8-star review. But after our meal, I have a really hard time understanding how this place has a mere 3.8 stars. The prices can be high, especially if there is fish, but ... it is understandable because you can tell the ingredients they use are the freshest around. We had the Sakura roll, and the tuna just melts in your mouth. Our group also had beef yakisoba, and two Bento boxes. The flavors were very strong, which can be a bad or good thing depending on the person. Personally, I didn't mind the very strong flavors. Our server was also very nice, and the interior design is also very nice. Read more

Been there twice, both lunch time. Food: Fresh fish, good portion, good flavor. Kitchen items are good (texture and flavor) one thing to mention: I have tried yakiudon at other places, usually the sauce is way too sweet, but they do it very well here. Price is reasonable. Service: Service is ok, a ... little bit slow during lunch time. There are only two servers in the restaurant, if you need to add sth sometimes, it might take a bit time to get them. Food arrives a little bit slow, but within an acceptable time frame. Atmosphere: Clean, spacious seating. Comfortable. Good spot for workday lunch, would come back! Read more
