NICE Sushi Restaurants?

My favourite one closed :( Tama on Broadway and Fir
My bf's coming to visit in a month and he's never had REALLY GOOD sushi, so he thinks he hates it! So, I wanna find a good restaurant to take him to, NOT somewhere like Shabusen or Richmond for all-you-can-eat.

Suggestions?

I've always loved ichibankan on thurlow+robson (it's down stairs!) really nice place, good service and they're always playing good jazz music.

yeah i think so too, it's more of a casual but classy sushi place and sake/jazz bar now, they also yell at you when you walk in. good times.

if you liked tama sushi, then you may like:

Miko on Robson st. - apparently a lot of Vancouver Canucks have been there... I would say the service is slow, but the food is good. seems to be japanese-owned. usually quite busy, and the place is not very big, so reservations are probably recommended.

Shijo on 4th - (or is it called shiro?) - also japanese-owned i believe... but not 100% sure about this one. i like their seared sushi.

Ajisai - in Kerrisdale on 41st... gooood!
Shota - also in Kerrisdale - good rolls... (I think this place is Chinese-owned however)

non-sushi japanese places that are also good:
kintaro - on denman near robson... good casual ramen place.
guu - two places along robson... one actually on thurlow near robson, the other across from 7-11. - good non-sushi japanese dishes.
zakkushi - along denman near robson. good yakitori... and other meats cooked on a stick! i love chicken heart...
gyoza king - good casual non-sushi japanese dishes along robson.

and apparently tojo's is very highly rated, but i haven't been there for a long time so i can't remember.

type all these places on google and you can find the listings' address and phone number.

kamei's been pretty sub-par since the original chef/founder left in the late 80s...

he started Takumi out in coq/burnaby which was fucking awesome but i've heard he sold the place recently...
