Mega is closer to California.

Boss Sushi is up in Westwood Plateau.

I am not a fan of California....I liken it to the McDonalds of the sushi world...very much geared towards high turn over.

They are cheap though...which is good from time to time.

Interested to know what you think of Boss if you go.

Now that this has turned into a sushi thread (sorry Anthony ), I'll throw my vote into the hat.

Shima-ya on Victoria/41st has the best (real) sushi in GVRD. Having lived and traveled to Japan countless times, I can safely say that Shima-ya comes closest to Japanese proper nigiri sushi. It's a mom-and-pop place and it ain't cheap, but if it's quality you want, give it a shot.

For the Tricities peeps, Sushi 990 over at Poco has great bang for the buck and its quality is high above all the California Sushi, Sushi Town, etc.

Actually Shima-ya is my sister's and brother's favourite sushi place. My sister-in-law is Japanese Canadian and her mother is a retired sushi chef and they also like Shima-ya.

Good to know about Sushi 990 but rarely go to Poco except to pick up corals/fish

Also, a friend of mine on BCA just posted that 3 years ago his sister-in-law, mother-in-law & father-in-law all got food poisoning from the Burnaby Oyama and after vomiting for days, they swore never to go back. Other people have been texting and pming me with their own horror stories, which makes me sort of feel lucky that we didn't have any bad experiences for so many years, considering we ate there almost every month for a long time.

I wonder if its under new management because the quality has dipped (again, multiple people have mentioned this and asked me the same question). Up till now, it's was the two price jumps in less than a year and the slightly smaller portions we were served that caught my attention.

Oh well, Felicia has told me she never wants to eat there again so its actually good to learn about other sushi places our friends here are recommending to try out. Maybe one of these recommended places will become our family's go-to sushi place. I'll give it another week and then take the family out for sushi to see if I can get Felicia to try eating sushi again. I don't want this incident to turn her off from Japanese food long-term.
