Experience Real Japanese Conveyor Belt Sushi – Entertainment for Kids, Relaxation for Parents

One of our most popular menu options is Omakase sushi.

“Omakase” means “I leave it up to you,” allowing the chef to select the freshest seasonal fish available that day. Our chefs carefully choose premium ingredients based on quality and seasonality to ensure the best possible taste.

Benefits of choosing Omakase include:

  • Enjoying the freshest seasonal fish

  • Discovering new and unique flavors

  • Receiving better value than ordering individually

  • Experiencing a complete sushi course without stress

For guests who are unsure what to order, Omakase is the perfect way to experience the best sushi downtown Vancouver has to offer.

Forget the stress of long waits for food. Our conveyor belt sushi provides instant entertainment that keeps children engaged, allowing parents to actually enjoy their daily conversations and their meal.

Experience Real Japanese Conveyor Belt Sushi

At IKURA, we proudly offer a conveyor belt sushi system inspired by restaurants in Japan. Guests can watch freshly prepared sushi flow along the belt and select the dishes that catch their eye.

You can:

  • Choose sushi directly from the moving belt

  • Place custom orders using a digital tablet

  • Receive special orders through a dedicated express lane

This interactive system is not only convenient but also entertaining. Children especially enjoy watching sushi arrive at their table, making IKURA a perfect restaurant for families in Vancouver.

Unlike many Westernized sushi restaurants, IKURA stays true to the authentic Japanese conveyor belt dining style while ensuring efficiency and freshness.
