Japanese owned and operated, Shizen Ya is a downtown Vancouver favorite. Sure, there are many options to choose from when it comes to Japanese food, but Shizen Ya's quality and price point make it a popular spot, day or night.
The menu features the usual suspects like spicy tuna, salmon and avocado, dynamite and California rolls, but they also have some specialty rolls. The Natural Bomber roll uses fresh, real crab meat, whole wheat tiger prawn tempura, cucumber, greens and plenty of avocado and finishes it with their "creamy bomber sauce". They also have vegetarian and vegan options, along with rice-free rolls, gyoza, udon, teriyaki, sashimi, whole wheat tempura, salads and more.
In addition to making all of their rolls with brown rice, they use organic and Ocean Wise ingredients. It's also worth noting that the service is lovely here.
