Sushi K Kamizato Port Coquitlam

It’s been a very long time since we last visited Sushi K Kamizato. Even though we live mere minutes away, we’ve been going to eat at other places in the Tri-Cities. The menu has changed a lot since they first opened. It is more concise and focused on sashimi, Okonomi / nigiri pieces and fresh sheets directly from Japan. Cooked food is absent from the menu and don’t expect to see any bento boxes or California rolls options here.

Prices are relatively steep and an average dinner for dinner with drinks can run you $100. If you are looking for speciality items or daily specials, be sure to check their Facebook Page for updates. If you see something you fancy trying, I’d suggest asking for the price first. Some items like the Imonolith – marinated blue fin tuna cup, topped with snow crab leg and sweet shrimp mixed with my homemade avocado mayo sauce – is $11 per piece.

Chirashi Don 29.99: the sticker shock might have you second guessing whether to order this sashimi rice bowl or not; however, rest assure it is filled with a lot of goodies – not just your typical farm salmon, tuna and octopus bowls. There are a lot of quality items here.

Hotate: sweet scallops

Engawa: rich, creamy, fatty flounder fish flame torched aburi style

Saba: salty, briny mackerel flame torched

One thing is for certain, we probably will be coming back real soon. We’re already thinking about what to order next time! However, if you are pressed for time or expect to be somewhere in an hour, I’d suggest you visit Sushi K Kamizato another time. Their service is slow and the food takes time to come. There is only two people working there: the Chef and the server. Our last visit, it took over 50 minutes for our sushi pieces to arrive.

Has anyone tried their omakase? $40 seems very reasonable. The only caveat is that it requires one day advance notice.
