  Amazing aburi sushi and tuna tataki roll. Very nice owners and service. Very fresh ingredients and well cooked. One of the best secrets in Burnaby

  Sushi U was chosen as our go to place for lunch recently. We arrived at the destination and found a parking spot near the restaurant a few minutes before its opening time of 11 am, and when seen near the entrance, staff welcomed us to come inside. We (threesome) were shown to a larger, corner table, provided menus, place settings, and then brought some large mugs of hot tea to enjoy while we pondered what to order.Its a small place, clean, neat, and tidy in appearance. If I remember correctly, there was some music playing, but definitely at a rather low volume. The tables are arranged around the perimeter, and most can be moved andre-arranged to accommodate from one and two diners, to small-sized groups. Our server (Jane) was a delight during our visit, and took such good care of us. The food: note: I thought my ordering was likely a little heavy for the three of us, but it was a first time visit and I wanted to try a number of dishes – it seemed to work well – a few leftovers to bring home, but most dishes cleared. Hot tea – a light and flavourful blend, was supplied at no extra charge. Appetizers: geso karage (breaded squid tentacles), coroke (breaded potato croquette), ebi (prawn) gyoza Noodle: veggie yaki soba (soba noodles, w/mostly bean sprouts and small pieces of cabbage, a few green beans and carrot pieces) Teriyaki: tofu teriyaki (deep fried tofu, w/teriyaki sauce, on a bed of bean sprouts and a little rice) Donburi: chirashi don (assorted sashimi, on mostly shredded daikon and a green salad, w/ side bowl of steamed rice) Sashimi: tako (octopus) sashimi (slices of octopus tentacle, on shredded daikon) Nigiri Sushi: aburi sampler (flamed nigiri sushi – salmon, tuna, ebi, tai, saba, and hotate, w/special sauces, and spices) Roll: California roll and two extras that our hosts provided without charge: samples of chicken karage (breaded chicken pieces, w/a sweet & sour-like sauce), and ice cream tempura for dessert (a nice touch, much-appreciated).The dishes came from kitchen to our table rather promptly, in good sequence and portion size, and all looking quite colourful and appealing. Food preparations were very good warm dishes, were warm, cold dishes, were cool breaded coverings were thin, crispy, and flavourful, sauces tasty, stocks not greasy or salty, quite light and flavourful tofu and noodles were well-prepared – the large tofu pieces so creamy, and the noodles not overcooked chirashi don was very good, the ingredients so colourful, cool, fresh, and tasty – and the California rolls as well sashimi in the don, and the octopus sashimi, were perfect, so fresh and flavourful, and the aburi nigiri sushi was such a taste treat, melt-in-your-mouth goodness and the extras, well-prepared, and yummy, the ice cream tempura such a nice, and cool way to end the meal.Our lunch at Sushi U was a fun, and a much-enjoyed dining experience nice, friendly, personable hosts and service, with well-presented and prepared food. And all served up in a small restaurant, located in a rather cool and neat, local neighbourhood setting definitely our kind of place!
