Considering the high sushi-restaurant-per-capita rate in Vancouver,
you can pretty much spit out of your window and hit a sushi shop!
(One of the reasons I want to move there...)
Anyway, when I visited last I didn't get to go to any of the "fancy"
places, but I went into a little shop near Granville and Robson, and
while it wasn't the best sushi I'd ever had, I got tons of it for a
great price, it was good, and thier kitchen food was awesome.
(Important since my SO isn't a big raw-fish-eater)
I can't complain about a bento box that would feed two people easily
for about $9 Canadian.
