Sushi Oyama - Coquitlam

After shopping at Coquitlam Centre Mall, my friend and I decided to grab some lunch. This was my first time trying this restaurant, but it was her third time. She ordered the Chicken Teriyaki lunch combo with miso soup and salad, while I ordered the Beef Teriyaki lunch combo. Both meals were absolutely delicious. I also ordered the Veggie Tempura, but it turned out to be too much food for me. I would highly recommend this restaurant - the service was very friendly and efficient. I give it 5 stars all day long.

The food at this restaurant is tasty, with average prices and service that can be inconsistent. My wife loves the Evergreen rolls for their filling and delicious taste. Personally, I enjoy the Gyozas here as they are more flavorful than what you typically find at other restaurants. The UME Plum Sake was also very enjoyable. Overall, a good sushi option to try in the COQ area.

I like their special rolls, my fav are Sound Trap Roll and Red dragon rolls. I like the new addition of aburi sushi on their menu as well. This is my favorite sushi place in the neighborhood. They offer free miso for pick up orders $15. The only dish I didn't really like was the seafood yakiudon.

Service was definitely mediocre, it took awhile for our order to be taken, and they forgot my miso... but the sushi was fresh, the rice was sticky and the hot sauce was great.

Surprisingly, my Chicken Teriyaki arrived first, and it was decent. The light sprinkle of sesame seeds added depth to the flavours, and the chicken was sufficiently tender. There was also a distinguishing sweetness, as if the chicken was coated with a thin layer of honey. The stir-fried bean sprouts were savoury, and they were served in a very generous portion.
