MAINICHI SUSHI

Great spot if you’re into getting a good deal. I spent 20 dollars and got 3 massive rolls had to take some home. The portions are really generous and there’s free warm tea!!!

We went on a sushi date to Mainichi and decided to build our own combos. Mainichi lets you customize your own set combos, which is such a fun (and rare!) concept. Between the two of us, we picked four different combinations—and every dish was fresh, well-portioned, and beautifully plated. Combo 1 (Ebi Sunomono, Toro Nigiri, Unagi Don) was fresh and rich. The Toro literally melted in the mouth, and the Unagi Don was warm, smoky, and full of flavour. The sunomono added a nice tangy balance. Combo 2 (Wild Salmon Sashimi, Real Crab California Roll, Chicken Yakisoba) was perfect for seafood lovers. The salmon was smooth and clean, and I appreciated that the California roll was made with real crab—rare to find! Combo 3 (Prawn Tempura, Chopped Scallops, Yakisoba) was my comfort-food combo—crispy, creamy, and cozy. The tempura had the perfect crunch without feeling greasy. Combo 4 (Spicy Tuna, Negihama, Chicken Karaage) packed the boldest punch. The spicy tuna was flavorful without being overpowering, and the karaage was good. Portions were generous for the price, and the quality really stood out. The atmosphere inside is cozy and casual—perfect for a weeknight date or even a solo sushi fix. The staff were polite and attentive.

The combo menu is good, we can choice what we want. sashimi is fresh, sushi is delicious, noodle and rice are yummy.Staff is friendly and kind.

Good value, taste average to good. Service is slow even though we were the only customers at 11:45 am. It took about 25 mins for the food to arrive.

The food was decent. I loved their combo options. Choose 3 or 2 items from their combo menu and save some money. Their lunch before box was nice as well. Currently doing promotion and giving 10% discount to everyone and more discount if you pay with cash.

Beef udon is a must try, the slightly chewy/bouncy texture is on point. Rich, warm and hearty soup base, just right for fall season. Almost shed a tear when I tasted it. Chicken karage has the perfect crispy skin, tender and juicy inside. Good portions, reasonable price. Very nice and attentive staff. Will definitely come back again

Mainichi SUSHI is such a great spot near UBC, located at Alma Street and West Broadway. They have amazing “Build Your Own Combo” options — over 80 dishes to choose from! We went with 4 combos, which meant 12 different dishes in one meal. Every dish was fresh, delicious, and beautifully made. Combo 1: Toro Sashimi, LA Galbi, Sashimi Salad Perfect for sashimi lovers. The toro melted in my mouth, and the sashimi salad had so much variety. Fresh, fresh, fresh! This one is a must-order. Combo 2: Hotate Sashimi, Unagi Donburi (full size upgrade), Prawn & Yam Tempura We paid a bit more to upgrade the unagi donburi to a full size — totally worth it. Generous portion, fresh eel, and the tempura was light and crisp. Combo 3: Wild Salmon Sashimi, Mentaiko Cream Udon, Wing The mentaiko cream udon was rich, creamy, and so smooth. Amazing flavour. Not something you usually find in a set combo! Combo 4: Hamachi Sashimi, Spicy Ramen with Beef, Chopped Scallop Nigiri Quality ingredients really stood out here, especially the hamachi sashimi and scallop nigiri. I love that it’s reasonably priced for the quality and variety. You can mix and match to suit your mood — even kids can find plenty they like. This place serves authentic Japanese cuisine with handcrafted sushi, and honestly, it feels like a hidden gem in the neighbourhood. UBC students are so lucky to have it close by.
