Yugafu Japanese Bistro

My friends raved about this place when they first opened last year, and I’m just sorry to not have visited sooner! Came here for my birthday dinner and this place was absolutely well worth the hype! Everything was so well executed, from the service, the pace of the food being served, the quality of ingredients and the preparation & presentation—just impeccable! It’s definitely not just a sushi place but a true Japanese experience. Amazing value for $70 per guest, they served just the right amount of food, I was full and very satisfied. Highly highly recommend visiting! Reservation is a must.

The 5 stars reviews are well deserved. Great food and service. Sushi was imported from Japan weekly. Personally I think the hot food might even be better only because I feel spoiled by Tetsu Sushi. Must booked in few weeks advance to secure a table.

Very authentic Japanese omakase experience. Even though we didn't get to sit by the bar but the food was so fresh and amazing! Also, the price won't break the bank compared to other omakases in greater Vancouver. The restaurant is very small, with covid, seating is very limited. Bookings are done A MONTH in advance!!! Please reserve ahead of time!! Most fish are fresh from Japan and my fav are the scallop and otoro nigiri, which just melts in your mouth. The only negative I could think of is it's so far out in Surrey.

Authentic Japanese restaurant in Langley. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. I came couple times with my family and it’s been fantastic experiences here. The Kaiseki set is wonderful yet not pricy comparing the quality and quantity of foods you get. The chef is so friendly and very kind. He explained the origin of “Yugafu”, which means “wishing the happiness and peace around the world” in Okinawa dialect in Japan. Not only I enjoyed the fantastic foods but also I learnt beautiful Japanese culture. He’s so thoughtful and put ikura for free for my kid when we order tamago maki. Much appreciated The interior store is small, got two tables and four bar chairs. If you want to come here and dine in, usually takes at least one month appointment ahead. But it definitely worths to wait and experience the authentic Japanese kaiseki set.

It’s so out of the way, over an hour drive from Vancouver. So why did I do it? Because for $80, this is quality that rivals any high tier omakase in Vancouver. In case you don’t know, similar omakase now charge you well over $150 per person. So in this case, how much do you value your time? I thoroughly enjoyed it but they’re so booked up for months, good luck finding any availability. It was great to check this place off though.

Highly recommend the omakse menu! Great quality, fresh seafood and delightful flavors. My family and I really enjoyed the ambience as well. It looks like they have a sake collection, and we would love to go back and try.

If you never tried OMAKASE this would be perfect res to visit and explore. Chef is super nice and approachable, service is excellent. After my first visit I immediately booked my second. YES, THEY ARE THAT GOOD. I was not expecting much based on the price they offered, but I was wrong. The quality and quantity they provided is way beyond my expectations. After my meal at Yugafu I don't think I would ever go to anywhere else.

We enjoyed a delicious omakase dinner at Yugafu. Service: The welcoming husband and wife team provided a great dinner service experience. Freshly prepared items were brought out at a steady pace. Food: The starter items were meticulously put together and presented beautifully. Some unique/standout bites: -The Kinuka maki: radish and flounder roll was a refreshing with the shisho leaf -the black cod fish was perfectly grilled- it came with a tasty marinated skin which complemented the juicy meaty texture -the chef choice nigiri came with an assortment of fish and seafood from Japan. The uni and blue fin toro were favourites. Overall a fantastic experience was enjoyed at Yugafu with chef Toshiharu and his wife. Free parking is available in the underground lot and on the street. Parking: Street and underground

We had the omakase and it was delicious ! The chef is very talented, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was peaceful. Seems like a family business. Our favorite was the blue fin, yum!

Must book it ahead of time ! They are super busy, I booked a month in advance. During the phone cal I only briefly asked if there was anything special for birthdays, but the waitress said no which was completely fine but when we got there the sushi chef made us these super pretty sashimi flowers!! I guess the waitress put a note on our reservation?? But anyways, it was on the house and just so thoughtful!! The chef and waitress are super super sweet thoughtful. Definitely recommend and will go again!
