About Tetsu Sushi Bar in Vancouver, BC

Vancouver Omakase Restaurant

Tetsu Sushi Bar presents an intimate dining experience in Vancouver's West End neighbourhood. Chef and owner Satoshi Makise opened Tetsu in 2017; here, we offer an unapologetically authentic Japanese cuisine menu focusing on premium Japanese ingredients and omakase. 

Nigiri sushi and omakase experiences

Tetsu Sushi Bar focuses on sushi and omakase experiences, which celebrate the best of the season and highlight Japanese ingredients. The sushi is Edomae-style with a modern twist. While Tetsu’s omakase menu experiences showcase nigiri sushi.

Tetsu differs from other sushi restaurants with the addition of savoury appetizers spotlighting authentic Japanese flavours not commonly presented in the West. 

Chef Satoshi Makise

Showcasing extreme dedication to his craft, Chef Satoshi is always in pursuit of perfecting his methods. His time in the kitchen is a balance of honouring tradition while perpetually experimenting and fine-tuning. Chef's relationships with Japanese fishermen ensure our diners receive the best quality and unique surprises throughout the year.

Tetsu Sushi Bar’s Name

For generations, the character 哲 (Tetsu) has been carried in the names of Chef Satoshi's family. Hence the name of the restaurant.

Best Vancouver Sushi

Tetsu Sushi Bar is honoured to receive notable awards and accolades, including ranking 47 on Canada's 100 Best list of restaurants in 2022. In addition, in 2023, Tetsu received a prestigious recommendation from the Michelin Guide.

Intimate Dining Experience

Our restaurant has only 12 seats; we nurture a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere within this space. While we may only welcome a few guests each day, we find great joy in the dinner experiences created with you.

Thank you for so warmly embracing Tetsu. 

Much love,

CHEF SATOSHI MAKISE
