The Marpole neighbourhood kept hitting that snooze button but hey now, wakey, wakey, people. There’s a very good Japanese restaurant in the ‘hood. Especially if you’re a sushi purist. Sushi Bar Shu opened last December offering an omakase-only menu with owner/chef Kevin Shin aiming for perfection. (Shu means excellence in Japanese.)
There are two seatings — 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. — at this compact 16-seat restaurant, and the sushi bar is where you want to be.
You choose from a $68 or $98 omakase menu, the latter with extra courses of three appetizers, sashimi and dessert. Both include chawanmushi, miso soup, 12 pieces of sushi and a handroll.
Where: 8099 Granville Street, 604-428-1868
Open: Tuesday to Sunday for dinner. facebook.com/sushibarshu
