What's so great about Japanese food is that so much of it is healthy without having to make any substitutions or modifications.At Shine Ya, fresh fish, creamy avocado, veggies and brown rice make for a perfectly balanced meal.
This Japanese owned and operated sushi joint is a must visit for healthy and delicious fare. In addition to making all of their rolls with brown rice, they use organic and OceanWise ingredients.
On the menu, you'll find the usual suspects like spicy tuna, salmon and avocado, dynamite and California rolls. There are also specialty rolls - the Sakura Blossom roll is filled with real crab meat, spicy albacore tuna and avocado, and topped with wild salmon and finished with a creamy maple drizzle (which you could opt out of).
It's not just rolls and sashimi that you'll find here. Shizen Ya's menu also features rice-free rolls, gyoza, udon, teriyaki, tempura (they use whole wheat flour), and salads.
In addition to fish, chicken and some beef dishes, there are a number of vegetarian options here.

EXPERT TIPS BY:

Vancouver Local Expert
- Restaurants with Healthy Menus, Lunch, Take Out, Casual Dining: "They have two locations, this one downtown and one on West Broadway. If the restaurants are full, grab some take-out and enjoy it at home."
- Best for Restaurants with Healthy Menus Because: There are many sushi restaurants in Vancouver, but Shizen Ya is one of the few who uses only brown rice, OceanWise fish and organic ingredients.
- Best for Lunch Because: Be sure to order Shizen Ya's Natural Bomber roll. It's made with real, fresh crab meat, prawn tempura, and lots of avocado.
- Best for Take Out Because: Shizen Ya's Sakura Blossom roll is filled with real crab, spicy albacore tuna and avocado, and topped with wild salmon and a creamy maple drizzle.
- Best for Casual Dining Because: Shizen Ya's Natural Bomber roll is packed with tons of fresh crab meat, a plump whole wheat tempura prawn and topped with plenty of avocado.
