Description
Originally established as a hidden gem in Mount Pleasant, Sushi Loku successfully transitioned to the heart of Commercial Drive in 2019, taking over the vibrant corner at 7th Avenue.
Since its move, the restaurant has seamlessly integrated into the neighborhood's eclectic dining scene, earning a reputation as a dependable "missing middle" haunt where quality meets affordability. By maintaining a cozy, unpretentious atmosphere, Sushi Loku has become a favorite local sanctuary for East Vancouver residents seeking high-grade Japanese cuisine without the long wait times of the area's more commercialized spots.
The menu at Sushi Loku is particularly celebrated for its extensive inclusivity, offering dedicated vegan and gluten-friendly sections that cater to the diverse dietary needs of the Drive.
Their kitchen balances traditional Japanese standards like udon and teriyaki with creative specialties, including their fan-favorite Aburi (torched) Oshisushi and unique rolls like the "Lady Tofu." Known for generous portions and consistently fresh sashimi, the restaurant provides an accessible yet refined experience for everything from quick lunches to intimate neighborhood dinners
