Sushi Bar Kilala

Sushi Bar Kilala has a reputation for being a hidden gem in Burnaby. They are known for serving high quality, authentic sushi at affordable prices. There's not a lot of cooked food on the menu, and there are those who skip over the cooked food altogether as it's the nigiri sushi and sashimi that truly shine at this restaurant. I didn't actually try any of the fish on this visit as I opted to go vegetarian, but my friend was with me and she ordered several rolls with raw fish in them. The rolls were very impressive looking, not overly packed with rice and the fish was very fresh. For myself, I ordered one Avocado Nigiri, one Inari Nigiri and an Avonegi roll. The avocado filling was generous which I always like to see, and beautifully colored. There's nothing so frustrating as seeing avocado that has started to turn black and lose its beautiful green color. What really impressed me was the Avonegi roll. Before I became Pescatarian, for many years I used to love ordering Negitoro rolls when I went to Japanese restaurant. It's tuna belly with green onion. The Avonegi was an avocado roll with green onion. It may sound like a very simple roll, but I have never seen Avonegi roll offered anywhere else. I was elated to see this item on the menu and even more so to discover how much I enjoyed eating it. With the Avonegi roll, I really don't miss my negitoro roll anymore and now I wish that every Japanese restaurant would put an Avonegi roll on their menu!

Food are fresh and yummy

My all time fave and go to sushi place! Run by mom and pop Japanese senior couple. The price is right and the sushi is always fresh and consistently good.

This is authentic Japanese cuisine made from scratch by a husband and wife team with decades of experience. The seating is sometimes limited but even for takeout I highly recommend it!

The uni and chopped scallops were fresh and delicious.
