Kishimoto Japanese Kitchen

This is by far the best sushi (maybe in Vancouver). It's impossible to get in to sit, but you can do take out...or you can stand in line and wait. It's worth it!
Best breakfast brunch place! Cuban - great atmosphere! Outdoor seating with heaters when the weather is iffy. Make SURE to have their Caesar's! They are the BOMB!
