Sakuya Japanese Restaurant - Surrey

Very good food and really nice people running the place. Will definitely be back.

Bit of a sloppy execution on the sushi rolls. The mens bathroom looks like it has been dirty for awhile. The light switch is all grimed up… Great service and attitude from the buff guy working there.

This is the best sushi around. Always consistent and delicious.The staff are soooo wonderful and kind.Love this place!!!

The food was terrible in terms of quality of ingredients and cooking capability. I came here out of curiosity and it was a huge mistake. Tempura shrimp seemed to be the cheapest junky premade frozen low quality product available. There was hardly any trace of shrimp beyond a sliver strand of shrimp I would almost need a magnifying glass to see. The rest was heavily dried out poor quality breading. It's an embarrassment to the cuisine and disrespect to customers to serve such **** food not worthy to be served in any respectable restaurant. Next, chicken Brest teriyaki with the quotes reflecting how it showed up on the bill. Outright terrible. The meat was super dried out, gristly, and flavorless. I'm pretty confident it was deep fried as a total lazy way to cook, maybe pre frozen as well. It was served on top of vegetables not drained and wet soaking in a pool of water and maybe a little grease. The teriyaki sauce very little drizzled was a total train wreck. Very salty and not sweet at all. Totally out of balance and ridiculously poorly made. I couldn't eat very much because the dish was garbage. Before any food arrived, I asked if they made their own gyoza from scratch homemade, and received an initial dishonest answer yes. Upon further questioning like do you roll the dumplings yourself, the answer was changed to I actually get it from a friend, and then I was discouraged from ordering it suspecting I would be disappointed. I would bet that the friend is the same kind of low budget commercial food stores and factories that the other poor excuse for restaurant food came from. Salad was edible except for some small black decayed parts of the radish that were missed and not cut away. Miso soup was edible but hardly with anything detectable in it. When I shared my disappointment about the food, I was told it's like what some other restaurants around here use. I replied that is why I don't go to them and why I won't go back there. I explained I don't go out to eat cheap low quality food worse that what I would make at home, and I would gladly pay a little more for quality food. I hope this restaurant and all others like it go out of business. Japanese cuisine is one of the most artful and wonderful dining experiences, but it is a tragedy that restaurants like this lower it to such a terrible travesty. Besides the dishonesty and lack of ownership of issues, service was the best aspect of the experience as it was efficient. I guess when garbage food is slung to customers it doesn't take much time to prepare. Walking into the small restaurant which seemed mostly set up for takeout, the floors were soaking in liquid maybe tracked in from takeout customers coming from the snow outside. I cashed the joint out and decided I wouldn't order sushi in a place like this, made in some hidden back room, in a million years. At the end of the meal, after giving feedback, there was a small token discount given, but it couldn't even come close to undoing the injustice of this lousy meal.

A small sushi restaurant with great sushi that makes me go back for more and has reasonable price. The staff service gives me cozy and comfortable feelings.
