  I heard about this place on Instagram and the pictures of food looked good, so I thought I would give it a try. With it being so close to New Westminster skytrain station, it is very convenient. It wasn’t too busy when we came in for lunch. It’s quite a large restaurant that’d be good for groups.I ordered a chopped scallop roll, hamachi nigiri, aburi ika, salmon, toro, and salmon bomb. I was excited for the aburi because of what I had seen on social media. I was a little bit disappointed in them. They weren’t very buttery and on the drier side. They definitely needed to have a sauce to go with it. Probably the salmon bomb was the best one out of the bunch. The hamachi was a little bit off for me. It almost had the taste of saba to it, which was something I was definitely not expecting. The scallop roll was good. Overall, the portions were good and pricing is pretty affordable. As well, the servers were friendly and attentive.

  My girlfriend and I decided to try this place out, before heading out to the landmark cinema.We were pleased with the ample amount of free parking they have when we arrived. So far, it’s a great start. Downtown new west is practically all paid parking.Upon entering, their front has a unusual amount of open space. The next thing I noticed before proceeding was how clean their bathroom was, extra points. We were greeted kindly and we proceeded to our table. The interior and ambiance is good. It felt like a date night with my girlfriend. Our services were good and we had check ups. Was there anything memorable? Not really but the rolls were good, and I still had a decent dinner with my girlfriend.I would come back and try other items.

  We (threesome) went to Hyack Sushi for an early-lunch, a first-time visit, arrived at the restaurant at its opening time of 11 am, and were their first customers of the day (and only customers during our stay).A heads-up re: parking and entrances. There is a small, no-fee parking lot, accessible from 8th Street – the parking area is level, and offers a wheelchair accessible entrance to the restaurant. Access to the restaurant from 8th Street itself, is not wheelchair accessible – there are several stairs from the sidewalk to the restaurants entrance level.Once welcomed in, we selected booth/table seating along the long wall of the restaurant, and were promptly provided menus, and cold water hot tea took a good while to come, apparently, it was not hot and ready to be served when we arrived. Otherwise, service to our table was friendly, with staff attentive throughout our stay. What was ordered and shared: agedashi tofu (w/spicy sauce – coatings of tofu cubes thin and very uneven, some cubes barely having any coating, tofu rather stiff, and not very creamy) takoyaki (flavourful and tasty) assorted sashimi (some pieces a touch warm, others cold, a flavour to several pieces that hid their natural flavours and tastes, possibly from a marinade used, for me, the preparation looked much better than it tasted) prawn tempura (batter thin and crispy, tasty) California combo (California roll, w/salmon, ebi, and tuna nigiri – well-prepared rolls, so-so nigiri) chicken yakisoba (pan-fried noodle, w/a few small pieces of chicken, and assortment of shredded veggies – quite flavourful and tasty, but it really lacked the heat & sizzle we have gotten to know and enjoy with other preparations.The restaurant had just opened for the days business, we were early-arriving customers, the staff appeared somewhat ill-prepared for our arrival. Unfortunately, this showed in the subsequent food presentations and preparations – most dishes ordered looked and tasted as if they had been hurried.

  We ordered through Skip tonight from Hyack. $100 order for about $60 worth of sushi that should have been $40 or less for the poor quality. I saw how high the rating was across several platforms and figured they must have improved since the opened/last time we ordered from Hyack. Quite the opposite is true from our experience tonight. Not only was our order missing several items, but some of the food was totally inedible. I literally had to spit out a tuna maki roll. The rice game is weak. The tempura batter was thin and tasted of old oil. The yam tempura pieces are the size of french fries. The rolls were falling apart, and the fish that didn’t taste rotten certainly tasted old. Even the miso soup isn’t good. The food ranged from mediocre at best to disgusting. I can’t fathom how this place had a 4+ rating across several platforms and over a 9 on Skip.
