Kinkura Sushi + Sake is a Japanese restaurant on Davie Street in Vancouver’s Yaletown area, serving sushi, sashimi, nigiri, specialty rolls and sake. The menu brings together familiar Japanese preparations and more creative combinations, giving diners a choice between classic seafood dishes and contemporary rolls with varied ingredients.
Sushi and sashimi are prepared with selected ingredients and traditional techniques, while the menu also includes cooked dishes and small plates. Miso soup, edamame and gyoza provide straightforward options for starting a meal or sharing across the table. The sushi selection includes salmon and other seafood preparations, along with vegetarian combinations such as yam and avocado rolls. A lobster roll is presented as one of the restaurant’s signature creations, making it a fitting choice for diners looking for a more elaborate specialty roll.
The sake selection complements the food and gives the restaurant a broader Japanese dining focus than a sushi-only counter. Guests can build a meal around nigiri and sashimi, order a combination of rolls for sharing, or pair sushi with warm dishes. The menu’s range suits both a lighter meal and a more substantial dinner, with options that work for different tastes within the same group.
Kinkura has a warm, welcoming atmosphere with a cute, relaxed feel. Its setting suits casual meals, catch-ups and small celebrations, while the mix of traditional craftsmanship and modern presentation gives the dining room a contemporary character. The restaurant also offers direct ordering for guests who prefer to enjoy the menu away from the dining room.
Located at 656 Davie St, Kinkura is positioned for diners spending time around Yaletown and downtown Vancouver. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner, with later closing times on Friday and Saturday than on the other listed days. Its combination of fresh sushi, creative rolls, Japanese small plates and sake makes it suitable for seafood fans, sushi newcomers, vegetarian diners seeking roll options, and groups wanting to share several dishes.
