Excellent Sushi With Separate "Vegetarian" Menu - Edit
Their "vegetarian" menu seems to all be vegan from my experience, but I always ask about each dish to make sure just in case (I see a couple come with mayo, but that can probably be excluded). They are experienced with vegan customers so they're quite willing to veganize other dishes if it's possible. Keep in mind, anything deep-fried is using the same oil as all the other deep-fried food, so tempura and spring rolls, for example, will have cross-contamination in this regard. Other than that, their separate menu is quite extensive and you won't feel left-out by having only a few selections to choose from. They even have an all vegetarian/vegan party tray, which I have ordered a couple times before (I can't remember if I had to make any subs due to something being "vegetarian" or not). I know that the regular menu's noodle soup uses fish broth, and some dishes may seem vegan put have fish flakes added on top as a decoration etc., so make sure to tell them you're looking for everything to be vegan and they're very good at double checking with the kitchen, too. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating and the kitchen staff are good and coming up with alternatives or idea on how to veganize a dish I may want, such as noodles.
Other than the 'vegan' experience, the food is delicious. The ambience is very interesting, with their traditional Japanese restaurant theme. I think it's pretty cool, there hasn't been anything quite like it since The Hawaiian Village in New Westminster closed down. It's not a small place, one can easily host a very large party here if they wanted to. You can bring your non-vegan friends etc. here or if people are going out to sushi, recommend this place so you can have some options.
