Sushi Oyama - Coquitlam

After shopping at Coquitlam Centre Mall, my friend and I decided to grab some lunch. This was my first time trying this restaurant, but it was her third time. She ordered the Chicken Teriyaki lunch combo with miso soup and salad, while I ordered the Beef Teriyaki lunch combo. Both meals were absolutely delicious. I also ordered the Veggie Tempura, but it turned out to be too much food for me. I would highly recommend this restaurant - the service was very friendly and efficient. I give it 5 stars all day long.

When Sushi Oyama first opened, I used to frequently get takeout and dine in. However, over time, they have raised their prices and the quality has declined. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the atmosphere is comfortable. We did not have to wait for a table, as the restaurant is quite spacious with plenty of seating. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, such as toro sashimi, tempura udon, salmon sashimi, oysters, uni, and others, and everything tasted decent. The service was excellent, with staff frequently checking on us to refill our tea and see if we needed anything. Overall, a nice environment, good service, and decent food. I would consider coming back if I crave sushi, but I still prefer Sushi Town and Sushi California over Oyama.

This place falls into the 'I 've had better but I 've also had worse ' category.  If you are really craving raw fish, this place will serve you sushi as you 've come to expect it.  They just really aren 't that big on originality.  In fact, you could easily assume that you were eating somehere else like Sushi Garden or Sushi and Roll if you didn 't look up once in a while to confirm your surroundings.  Good place to take people from out of town who don 't know what to expect from a good sushi place.

I like their special rolls, my fav are Sound Trap Roll and Red dragon rolls. I like the new addition of aburi sushi on their menu as well. This is my favorite sushi place in the neighborhood. They offer free miso for pick up orders $15. The only dish I didn't really like was the seafood yakiudon.

Lots of options and specials! The sushi is very good and very fresh. The service isn't the best. We waited a long time for our bill. Prices are fair. It's not very private the way it's set up, but certainly aesthetically pleasing.
